stand at the head of all breeds of cattle.
They do away with all necessity-an
in fact of nearly all temptation-to
water market milk; and not unfre-
quently their product falls below the
line where adulteration may be sus-
pected. We do not consider these facts
to be Objectionable. We think it
would be every way better that our
cities should be supplied with a not
overrich but pure and genuine milk,
like that of the Dutch cows, than with
the watered and adulterated product of
richer-milking race. Everything is
made for something, and the Dutch
COW is pre-eminently the milkman's
COW.
IT is loudly claimed that the Dutch
COW is, in her own country, butter
producing COW. This is true; but her
butter is as poor in color and flavor
there as here, and the Irish, Swedish
and French butter take the lead of it in
every market where they meet. AS a
cheese-producing COW, however, and
especially as COW for the production of
small, bookkeeping cheeses, the Dutch
COW is unequaled. The making of
these cheeses is a great business in
Holland, and might well be duplicated
in parts of our country where the land
is level and the meadows moist and
rich, as they are in II bland. Here the
Dutch COW will find the conditions
under which she was produced and per-
fected. Although the climate is much
hotter there than in her native land,
we believe that upon the rich plains of
western Louisiana she could be made
at home, and be great success. In
Holland she is carefully tended, carded,
covered with sheet to protect her
from flies, and shares her owners dom
icle. We believe that if pains were
taken to introduce her among the Aca-
dian French population of Louisiana,
and to instruct the people there how
best to utilize her remarkable qualities
as machine to turn the grass of moist
meadows into milk specially adapted to
making bookkeeping cheese, her des-
tiny as an immigrant to America would
be fully realized.

opportunity to irrigate is not to be
despised, for in very dry season a
supply of water will prevent heavy loss
by the arrested growth and premature
dropping of the fruit. A springy hill
side, selecting spot with a moderate
and even slope, is an excellent site for
an apple orchard. On such spot the
trees thrive, bear well, and produce
the largest, fairest and most finely
colored fruit. We think an eastern ex-
posure best, but not at much sacrifice
of afternoon sunlight.
If you wish for fine fruit, thinning
will be the biggest job in your orchard,
after the trees come to full bearing.
This is particularly true if you de-
termine to spray tor the Goblin worm,
and other insect depredators; but at
the prices you may expect to obtain for
choice fruit the most thorough and
careful work will give the best returns.
1t should be rule that no apple must
touch another, at any stage of their
growth. Pruning ought to be systemat-
ically practiced from the first, with a
view to open heads for the trees. A
brushy" tree yields very little good
fruit. We believe that three main
branches are better than more; but the
system of pruning must be modified,
according to the habit and growth of
each variety.
When our crop has matured upon the
tree the gathering of it, in such man
ner as not to deface it, approaches a
fine art. Presupposing proper prun-
ing of the trees, and a thorough, care
full thinning of the fruit, the most care
full gathering, slow though it may be,
will be most profitable. If the spray
ing and the thinning has had the de-
sired effect, the proportion of first-class
fruit ought to be very large, and no one
would desire to lessen this by too hasty
gathering. While the orchard is COM
paratlVely young much OF the fruit can
be taken off the trees by hand while
standing on the ground, or with cup
pickers. AS they grow taller, ladders
and staging will be needed, but in all
cases haste will make waste and sub
tract from net profits. Half-bushel
baskets, lined and wadded, with drop
handles, are very convenient for gath
ering, and we should prefer to do the as
sorting directly from them into the final
packages. OF course somewhat diff
ferent practice is to be followed with
the early and later varieties. The best
provision, in the way of storehouses
and cellarage, is of much importance
and neat or even ornamental packages
conduce greatly to successful sales.

Facts About Wool.

The following article from the Boston
Traveller will be found very interest
ing to all wool-growers, as showing the
opinions of an expect wool-buyer upon
the wool business as whole and in
its different branches, and also the
way in which he looks upon the pro-
posed changes in the wool duties
Thinking that some facts in relation
to the wool and tariff questions might
be of interest just at the present time,
as they are being largely discussed in
and out of congress, the Traveller rep
resentative at Salem called upon oseph
Walworth, Esq, yesterday, at his sum-
mer residence, Juniper Point, and So
licited an interview. The questions
and answers, as suggested by the inter
view, are as follows:
Z" Mr.. Walworth, you are, | am in
formed, the largest individual wool
buyer in the world"
Well, | really could not say as to
that, but l have spent about fifty mill
ion dollars in buying wool, reckoning
American value, during the past twenty
eight years, and the Pacific mills has
paid in one year 100000 in gold in
duty on woods imported"
GLOW does domestic wool compare
with foreign wool? Is it possible to
produce in this country at profit some
of the finer grades of foreign wools?"
81 prefer to answer these two ques-
tons together. Australian fine, UNI
washed wool will sell to-day in Boston
market for say fifty per cent more than
American fine, unwashed wool. l
could not say whether or not it is pos
sibe to grow the finer grades of wool
at profit in the United States, as
against the Cape, New Zealand or
South American; but l don't think ii
has been done as yet. The United
States have never successfully raised
long combing woods in competition with
England, Canada or New Zealand. !
do not mean to say that the States have
never raised any combing wool. but the
quantity is Insignificant as compared
with the consumption. 1t is very
foolish idea to think that the United
| States can raise all classes of wool
needed. OF course no country grows
wool adapted to all classes of goods.

| gentleman who could not make cent
nor please the market with his goods
until he accidentally changed from
American wool to Mestiza, and then he
could both make money and please his
customers. In both wooden and worsted
goods you can get different effect
from Australian merino than American

United States, in my opinion, can never

breeds of long-wooled sheep, such as
the Yorkshire, Lincoln, Leicester, etc

climate and English grasses, can grow

THE marked popularity of the Dutch
cattle is the profusion of their yield of
milk. They are bred for deep milking,
with very little attention to quality.
In fact, in those early days very little
attention was paid anywhere to the
quality of milk. 1t was supposed to be
always about the same thing, and cows
were ranked entirely according to the
quantity given. Dairying, as a bust
ness, was then in its infancy.

The Hen Business.

We are little surprised to find Poul-
try Editor Hunter of the NeU England
Farmer using a column or more to re-
ply to our few words expressing a be-
lief that hens fed solely with pur-
chased food could hardly afford much
profit to the experlmenter, unless the
prices received for eggs and fowls were
much above the average. But Mr..
Hunter undertakes to show that fowls
so fed pay better than fowls kept upon
the farm in the usual way. He says
the cost of the feed for his hens is
S1.25 per fowl per year, and that the
income is from 81 to S4.25, giving
net profit of 1915 to 1912 apiece. Mr..
Hunter does not mention the price he
gets for eggs or fowls, but says they
are easily within reach of any Yer
mont farmer. We wish he would tell
us what he gets a dozen for his eggs,
how many his hens average per year,
and what he gets for his dressed poul-
try. We should then have a better
basis for comparison between his hens
and our own.
Mr.. Hunter is surely mistaken when
he says that farmers poultry are
not well fed. There is an immense
amount of good food to be picked up
by hens on the farm, in the shape of
insects, seeds and other vegetable sub
stances, all of which are so plenty that
the fowls need not exert them selves
more to collect it than is good for their
health. In the fall, when the grain
comes in, the scatterings in the field
and about the buildings will make the
farmers fowls, already in good order,
fat in a few weeks, and nearly all this
food would go to waste were it not for
the fowls. OF course farm must not
be overstocked with hens, any more
than with other stock. Fowls shut up
most of the time are very subject to
disease, and although an expert can
manage to keep an enclosed flock
healthy, he does it at the expense of
much time as well as money.
Mr.. Hunter lays great stress upon
getting his eggs mostly at the season of
high prices, and says the farmer gets his
egg crop at the time of low prices.
That is fact, as rule; but the rea-
son for it, as between northern Yer
mont and eastern Massachusetts,, is the
difference in the winters. The south
shore especially is particularly favor
able, with its mild climate, freedom
from deep SHOWS, and cheap animal
food in the fish waste and other coast
food accessible to poultrymen. If we
were going into the hen business as a
specially that is the location we should
pick; but even then we should take
something elsa poultry editorship,
for instance-to help out.
The difference between the farmers
position and the hen fancier's is that
the expenses of the farmer are com
paratively nothing, and although hi
prices of poultry and poultry products
are often much less, there is always /
balance on the right side. Unde
special circumstances, favorable t.
winter-laying, a hennery may be made
to pay, and we do not doubt Mr.
Hunters statements, though his roun'
numbers give the impression that the.
are approximate rather than exact.
The general experience has certainl,
: been against profit with yarded hens
