SUCCESS IN DAIRYING,
Dairymen, Like Poets, Seem to Be Born,
Not Made.


Not Made.
Not every one succeeds in dairying;
even with the same facilities not all are
alike successful. Dairymen, like poets,
seem to be born, not made. Some succeed
under any and all circumstances, while
others fail under the most favorable sur
roundings. Much Of success in dairying
depends upon wise selection of dairy
animals. There is as much difference
between a good COW and poor one as
there is between slow pillow horse and
q Maud S. Certain characteristics mark
good dairy COW. Any one of expert
ence would not select for dairy COW an
animal bnilt like and resembling fat
Hereford steer. Such a beast would not
be likely to prove great mixer or
good butter COW. If one would know the
marks of good dairy COW, let him OBJ
serve some of the best specimens of the
Jersey, Ayrshire, Guernsey and Holstein
breeds. By careful observation the
dairyman ought to be able to soon learn
so that he can easily pick out the best
COW in any herd, unless there are num-
Der of nearly equal merit.
Much of success depends upon the
management of a herd of cows. A herd
may be managed in such shiftless
manner as to be of little profit Irregu-
larity in feeding and watering Injuries
the producing capacity of the animal.
Improper food and faulty combinations
are harmful. Sometimes cows are fed
too much rich food, which not only ia
liable to injure the health of the animal,
but also fails to secure profitable re-
turn, because some elements, being fed
in excess of the quantity required, are
wasted. Pasture grass is good standard
by which to Judge of what is regained,
and this contains one part of protein or
heterogeneous food to five parts of carb.
hydrates, rich in starch and sugar If a
COW has all she can eat of good posture
grass, that is all she needs and she would
not do better by having more. Very
few cows, however, get all they can eat
of good pasture grass, except, perhaps,
for few weeks in spring. If fed other
food the rule should be to make it az
good as pasture grass and no better.
The proper management of the milk
and cream is another requisite to sue
cess. By proper care and cleanliness
any one ought to be able to produce q
first-class quality of butter. Butter max
ing is purely mechanical process, and
any one who will give sufficient atten
ton to the details of the process car
generally succeed. Cheese-making in
wolves chemical processes, and is more
complicated industry, requiring specia
training to insure success. Most of the
cheese-making, however, is done in fac
tories.-H. Reynolds, M. d., in Farm
and Home.

two or three inches Of the surface soil

that it will serve as a mulch to prevent

This system of irrigation has the ad-
vantage of cheapness of material, con-
struction and the economy of water.
In addition it supplies the water where
it is needed without pudding the sur
face, and allows the cultivation to go on
without hindrance.
A small area may be prepared at a
time for underground irrigation at a
reasonable cost, and when done it is a
permanent improvement. A few hun
dred dollars and the labor required
with care will put several acres in con-
dition to test the efficiency of such sys-

SOCIALISM IN GERMANY.
In Spite Of all Restrictive Legislation IL
Grows In Numerical Strength.

II Spite Of all Restrictive Legislation IL
Growsin Numerical Strength.
Despite all oppressive and repressive
and conciliatory legislation Of the Ger
man imperial parliament, the social
democratic party in Germany continues
to gain ground. In the recent Saxon
elections they polled twice as many
votes as they polled six years ago and
won two new representatives in tho
provincial parliament. They now
have seven men in the Saxon Land
tag, among whom are such extremists
ss Bebel and Liebnecht. This fact is all
the more significant because in Saxony
the majority OF the working-men, who
are generally supposed to build the rank
and file of the social democracy, are ex-
Guided from voting by property quail
ification. Nor is Saxon citizen eligible
to seat in the Landtag unless he pays
state taxes of at least thirty marks an
nually. The proof furnished by the
Saxon elections that Prince Bismarck's
severe repressive measures have
entirely failed to crush the socialstic
malcontents, and that his concilia-
tory measures, like the working-men's
insurance scheme, have in no way APP
peased them, has caused the German
dailies to plunge again into the peren-
NAL discussion Of the causes Of social
discomfort in Germany. The Vossiche
Zeitung, representative daily of lib
eral tendencies, says: Government
and parties alike should find in this
movement of voters a reason for thought
full introspection. Our previous policy,
far from winning over the working-men,
pushes them more and more into the
social democratic camp, despite all
social political laws. Should the present
law against socialists be continued, and
the present tariff policy be retained, the
social democracy would eventually as
sumo proportions which would enable it
to drive the wedge of destruction into
ell the old parties. IN. Y. Sun.

adepth of one foot or fifteen inches below
the surface. The excavations for the
tile may be made cheaply by blowing
out the trenches, passing back and forth
with the pillow three or four times in the
same furrow. Little labor will be re-
quired to bring the bottom of the trench
to a regular grade. The lines of tile
should be laid as close as ten feet apart;
less will be better The water turned
in at the stand-pipe A will pass along
the tile to the further end which is
closed. As much as one acre may be in
cluded in one system if the surface con-
fguration will admit of it. The tile of
the upper end may be as large as five
inches, falling off to four, three and two
inches.
In the adoption of this or any other
system, reference must be had to the in
clination, minding always the law of
gravity.

five inches in size, or larger if necessary,

The control of soil moisture, BY stor-
ing up part of the water supply during
time OF excessive rainfall for use at
subsequent drought, is problem that
has long occupied the minds of good
sultivators. We have begun to realize
that for general outdoor garden crops
soil-soaking is the only effective method,
and that mere surface sprinkling is apt
to do more harm than good.
Our modern improved appliances for
drawing water from wells by the use of
wind-mills have made it feasible to fill,
at comparative light expense, tanks
constructed somewhat above-ground, and
thus obtain the necessary water and
pressure for flooding smaller areas in a
short time.
Where acres are to be irrigated, how
