Salt for Dairy Cows.

Dairy cattle ought to have access t.
salt every day, and salt should be added
to all their stable feed. A series of ex
periments has convinced me that wher
COWS are denied salt for a period of ever
one week, they will yield from ~ t.
lit per cent. less milk, and that of al
inferior quality. Such milk will on an
average turn sour in twentv-four hours
less time than milk drawn from the same
or similar cows receiving salt, all other
conditions of treatment being equal

THE DAT CROP.
The Enlargement of Area and increase of
Product Since 1880.

Product Since 1880.
Comparatively few persons have an
adequate idea of the magnitude and inn
portance of the oat crop in this country,
yet its uses for man and beast are so
various that it is entitled to rank among
the most important of the farmers pro-
auctions. The enlargement of the area
and increase of product have been very
large since 1880, but there is little differ
ence in the rate of yield, which has had
an annual average of about twenty-six
bushels to the acre, with an average
price of thirty-two cents. From prod
uct of All, 1856, $50 bushels in 1880, the
crop amounted to 701, 7S5, 900 bushels in
1888. AS a producing state Illinois was
in the lead, with production in round
numbers of 137 900 600 bushels. followed
by Iowa with 81, 900. 600, and Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Kansas and New York with
from 43, 900. 900 to 40, 600, 900 respectively.
For the present year, 1889, the crop
has suffered in some sections from I'M
favorable weather at harvest time, but
with an increased area it is estimated
will exceed that of 1888 some 80, 000. 900
bushels. The oat is cultivated through
a wide range of latitude and on greater
variety of soil than any other grain and
is liable to fewer injuries. The proper
ton of husk to kernel and the compact
ness of the grain determine the value of
the variety.
Oats are remarkably well balanced
food. Containing, as they do, large
quantity of the most valuable constitu-
ents, they approach what may be called
perfect food, although they contain a
larger proportion of husk and fiber than
other grains, such as wheat and barley.
A great variety of soils can be used for
their production and on land of good fer
tility large crops can be made. AS hu-
man food the grain is in constantly in
creasing use. and for animals it is almost
universal.

There is more or less discussion among
sheep raisers as to the relative value of
Cotswold and Merino breeds. While
there is a great difference of opinion as
to t4eir merits, a Utah authority in
sheep husbandry claims that there are
none who viii dispute the fact that be-
tween these two breeds will be fought
the battle that will decide which is the
best sheep for our mountain and desert
ranges. Without doubt the Cotswold
eve is the best mother and the lambs are
more hardy than those of the Merino.
On the other hand, the genuine French
Merino yields much the larger clip, and
at the same time gives a larger carcass
for the shambles- We believe, says the
authority referred to, that the coming
sheep for the western country will be
cross between these two breeds, having
the best qualities of the two judiciously
blended. This will take time, of course,
bat, if all sheep raisers would strive to
that end, it would mean a greater amount
of wool. better grade of wool, and
higher price for it than we get now.

The first illustration, showing sample
of butter with particles like shot, repre-
sents the condition in which butter prop
erly churned should be.
The object of having the butter in this
condition is that it may be in such a
shape that the buttermilk may be
washed out instead of having to be
worked out, as would have to be done
when the butter is churned into large
humps. Cream that is properly ripened
and churned at about &C degrees can be
brought to the proper granular condition
with little care in watching the churn.
Then by washing the buttermilk all out
and working just enough to thoroughly
distribute the salt. the butter should be
in the best possible condition for imlne-
diate use or for keeping.
In the second cut is represented an
overchurned sample, such as is COM
monty found among the majority of
farmers This is in large Jumps, which
are Objectionable for the reasons already
suggested.
Several Wisconsin dairymen who have
won prizes for their butter tell how they
manage One says: II churn the cream
in revolving churn until the butter
comes into granular form. Then put
brine in ard reyolve the churn few
times, and then the butter will be like
small shot. Then l draw off the butter
milk and put in water and revolve the
churn, and then draw off the water and
repeat till the water is clear. Then the
butter is fit to be salted. shake the salt
over the butter in the churn and revolve
once and salt again. The butter is like
shot all this time. Then revolve the
churn over and over till the butter is in
one big ball ready for packing.
Another butter winner saws: use the
barrel churn. and churn at 60 dogs.
When the butter is about the size of
mustard seed stop and make two or
three quarts of weak brine and put that
in, and then revolve the churn a few
times and let it stand three or four min
utes and then draw off the buttermilk;
then 1 get two pals of water and put in
a handful of salt and temper it to SO
degs., and put it in the churn and reyolve
few times next let it stand for a
few minutes, then draw off the water

FARM AND GARDEN.
IMPORTANT SUBJECTS TREATED IN
A PLAIN AND PRACTICAL MANNER.

The Proper Time for Stopping the Churn.
Photographs of Butter Churned "Just
Enough" and "Too nruch"-Information
Concerning Red PoIled Cattle.
A great deal has been said and written
by dairy workers about the proper time
for stopping the churn. Much of this
information has been lost because it is a
difficult matter to tell person just how
a thing ought to appear. One glance
from an observing eye being worth more
than half hours mere talk, Rural New
Yorker conceived the idea of having
samples of butter photographed = as
taken from the churn-one just right
and the other showing the effects of
overchurning. These photographs we
reproduce, along with the original de
scription, for the benefit of our own
readers.

Trannln- Ground n1oles.

We give an illustration of a simple
trap that may be successfully used in
catching that troublesome little pest, the
ground mole. 1t is made of two ash
boards, full inch in thickness, seven
inches in width and two feet six inches
long, attached to one end by broad butt
hinge. Theform given to the bottom
board is shown in the cut, the central
slit being made to admit the free play of
the trigger, which is represented by it
self in the right hand corner of the
sketch.

Curing Cheese.

Professor James ". Robertson ex-
presses the opinion. based on expert
ence, that the temperature Of the cheese
curing room should be kept as nearly
regular at So degrees as possible. A
slight chilling, after cheese has been
curing at IS degrees for two weeks, does
little damage; but a steady temperature
and constant curing give the best re-
suits. Bitter favored cheese are usually
the result of chilling in either the max
ing room, press room or curing room.
If the cause be prevented the conse-
quences will be unknown.

part shaped like a paddle, five inches
long, one and one-eighth inches wide,
and the left hand end notched as shown.
and three-quarters of an inch wide per
pendicularly. The post. sixteen inches
high, is curved to the circular sweep of
the top board on its hinge. The teeth,
six in number, on each side. are riveted
seven-eighths of an inch apart, in plate
five and one-fourth inches long and one
inch wide, containing four screw holes,
placed zigzag. and this is found much
firmer and more secure than if the teeth
were inserted directly in the upper plank
The trap is set. as shown in the cut,
across mole track, first digging hole
eight inches square and six inches deep,
and returning the soil, taking care to
exclude all stones and large pebbles.
Press the earth down pretty firmly, and
set the trap SO that the trigger touches
the surface of the ground exactly over
the line of the track When the mole
goes along his accustomed road, and
finds it INSTRUCTED, his movements in re-
opening the track inevitably heaves up
the surface so as to set off the trigger,
and the teeth ON one side or the other
will catch him. Weight the trap with
a heavy flat stone.
