FARM MANAGEMENT.
what Is Required to Make the Farm
Yield a Profit.

Yield Profit.
The majority of farmers recognize
the fact that under present conditions
IL requires good management TO make
the farm yield profit. In fact every
advantage must be taken to lessen the
cost of production, not only with the
crops but with the stock; and any
stock kept that fails with proper man
agement to return fair profit lessons
the general average. To certain ex-
tent, at least, cows are necessity on
every farm the number being largely
dependent upon the plan of farming
followed While during the summer
they can thrive very well upon pastur-
age, and during the winter, if well
sheltered, can be kept in very good
condition largely upon roughness, yet
both the pasturage and the winter
feeding cost something, and they must
bring a return either in milk or calves
or both to pay fair profit on the cost
of keeping and on the capital invested.
With nearly all kinds of stock, If good
care is taken, the manure that can be
secured should be sufficient to pay for
their keeping, so that the value of the
feed and the interest on the money
invested, with the risk, should be
the cost of keeping. How many COWS
are kept on the farm year after year
that do not pay this cost? The value
of the feed and the interest is the same
whether a profit is returned or not.
To have part of the cows returning
no profit is to lessen the per cent. on

unprofitablo ones are culled out the
better for the farmer. If the calves
are of sufficient value to pay reason
able profit for keeping the cows ant
the COW brings good calf every year
this will answer; but i'll the majority
of cases the calf is not of sufficien
value to do this, and something mus
be made from the milk in addition.
Where every item must be taken ad
vantage of in order to secure the bes
profit, it will pay to test every COW
determining the value of the calf whel
weaned and also the quality and quan
tity of milk she will give, and after ;
fair test all that do not show fail
per cent. of profit should be marketed
1t is important to get rid of all un
profitable COWS, sheep, horses or hogs
as every day an animal is kept tina
cannot be made to pay fair profit il
that much taken from the farm in
come. 1t may seem small item t.
ascertain whether one COW is paying
or not, but on the farm it is the atten
ton paid to what may be considered
the details that largely determine thc
aggregate profits And even a small
profit is preferable to positive loss. =

DESTRUCTIVE CARP.
They Kill or Valuable Fish and Sta
Out the Ducks.

They Kill or Valuable Fish and starve
Out the Ducks.
That evil may result from fish propa-
cation as well as good is shown by the
importation and Matching of carp eggs
in California. Twenty years ago there
were no carp in the streams on this
coast. A German named Poppe i'm
ported lot of the eggs of this fish from
his native land about that time and
soon had a large number of carp in a
pond in Sonoma county. He had ex-
pected to make fortune by the sale OF
the fish, but as no one seemed to like
them particularly we'll he had trouble
in disposing of them and the fortune
has vet to be made. From this one inn
portation, it is said, have come all the
millions of carp that infest our streams
and lakes. Eggs were secured from
Poppe for Matching carp in private
ponds in different parts of the state,
and the fish gradually worked into the
streams, until now the Sacramento
river, the San Joaquin and many of the
creeks flowing into them are teeming
with the ugly fish.
Carp now grow very large, weighing
as much as twelve pounds, and some
times even more. The greatest damage
which they do, as rule, is in the de-
struction of the eggs of fish that are
really fit for food, and also in the de-
struction of the source of food supply
of aquatic birds. Ramon e. Wilson,
secretary of the fish commission, says
that on the Suisun marshes, which were
formerly the best duck hunting grounds
scarce and will be much scarcer, owing
to the absence of the duck weeds and
wild celery, which used to grow there
in abundance, and which have been
greatly thinned out by the carp, those
fish devouring the natural food of the
ducks in incredible quantities San

VALUE OF CREAM.
1t Is Seriously Affected by Quality, Age
and Condition.

1t Is Seriously Affected by Quality, Ago
and Condition.
The proportion of butter fat in milk
varies according to the breed and the
mode of feeding the cow Most authori-
ties on the subject give it at from 2.95
to 6.06 per cent, says the Rural Cana
dian. In respect to the amount of
cream required to make pound of
butter, authorities differ. 1t is gener-
ally accepted that one quart of cream
will yield one pound of butter. But
this is high average, and depends
greatly on the quality of the cream and
how and when it has been gathered
and what condition it is in when put
into the churn. If it has been simply
SKINNED from the milk in the ordinary
way it will contain large amount of
milk that has no business to be in it.
If it has been gathered by cream sep
arator it will be of higher value for
butter-making 1t is on record that IL
ounces of butter have been obtained
from one quart of cream gathered in
the ordinary way. AS a general rule
one may expect to get quart of cream
from twelve quarts of milk. But
where the cows are we'll bred and of a
breed that yields high percentage of
butter fat, a much larger proportion of
cream will be given. But there is no
cream rich enough to give more than
one pound of butter to one quart of
cream. The average yield may be
stated at ~ per cent, of cream to
milk given by the COW Il qt to 81. In
some trials, years ago, it was shown
that the average quantity of milk re-
quired to produce one quart of cream
varied from one quart of cream from
eight quarts of milk to one from TIVE I've
quarts, the average being one quart of
cream to ten of milk.

gether than those of older growth, and
this gradual change must be effected
by judicious thinning, the trimmings
thus obtained paying for the work. A
general rule may be adopted, subject
to much variation with the different
kinds of trees planted. The distance
asunder should be about one
fourth or one-ffth the height
of the trees, becoming rather less
in proportion as the trees increase in
height, Whatever may be the OBJ
ject in making artificial plantations, a
regular system of distances and prun-

wishes to know II it will not be neces-
sary to Keep the trees well trimmed to
prevent the growth of side limbs for
future timber trees. The answer TO
this inquiry will be, keep the trees
standing near together, so as to shoot
up erect, and the shade will prevent
the growth of side branches along up
the trunks, and trees naturally
trimmed by this process will have the
work better done than can be per-
formed by the knife, saw or AK. Tho
shaded side limbs will stop growing,
die, and after awhile drop from them,
leaving little or no stumps; while by
doing the work artifcially scars and
