CREAM AND BUTTER RATION.

The Mark Lane Express CT England, one
of the best authorities under patronage of
the English people, says very conclusive
experiment in feeding for cream and butter
was made last summer by Mr.. Thompson,
V. s., of the Aspatria agricultural college
The subject of the experiment was well
developed Irish COW, and the experiments
began at four weeks age of the calf. The
COW was on grass at tie time. The expert
ments We're conducted with scrupulous care
Us 20 accuracy.
Through the first fortnight of the ex-
Pronunciation the COW received three ard
half pounds of oats, both night and morn
ing, and as result produced eight pounds
of butter weekly. During the next fort
night an equal amount Of decorticated cot
ton cake cotton seed meal) was given in
stead of the crushed oats, and again eight
pounds per week were produced, but the
butter was of {. firmer texture and a richer
color In the following fortnight one and
one-half pounds of decorticated cotton cake
was given night and morning, with the re-
suit that ten pounds of butter per week
were produced.
This led to the conc lnsion that too much
cotton seed meal had been given in the pre-
ceding test, as the COW seemed to gain on
the one and half pounds against the three
and half pounds. OF course it will IN
derstood that the COW was all the time on
grass in q nice and fresh pasture.
Through the fourth fortnight equal parts
were used of Indian (corn) meal, crushed
oats, wheat bran and cotton seed meal, the
mixture being dished out as a three pounds
ration night and morning-six pounds
day. In response to this ration the butter
product increased TO fourteen pounds per
week. In the following fortnight the COW
was ag ain placed on the first-tried ration of
crushed oats, with the result that the yield
of butter dropped from fourteen pounds to
six pounds per week. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to add that the COW was then placed
permanently on the most successful ration,
and she continued TO yield up to twelve and
thirteen pounds of butter for considerable
time.
So satisfying has this ration proved, says
the Express, that the newly formed cream
cry company at Aspatria has recommended
it to the notice OF all the farmers who
supply that establishment with milk As

4 gentleman NET US on the street few
days ago and asked for Our opinion Is 10 the
best method Of planting Irish potatoes We
recommended without hesitation what is
now known as the trench system. IL ap-
peared t. be new to him, although we have
several times described it in the columns
! Of InE GAZETTE. We have strong faith in
the system for Texas, yet we have never
put it to practical test here,
and have never met with any one who
! mas, Ii is taking the lead, however in many
other states, and the same conditions which
make it a success in those other states exist
| and are well developed in Texas. The Ala
bama market gardeners have adopted it al
most TO 4 man, and the same may be said of
the market gardeners in Georgia.
The heaviest yields of Irish potatoes yet
known to the world have been produced
by the trench system. Some years ago the
Rural New Yorker got mashed on the sys-
TEN, and offered certain premiums for the
largest yield Of potatoes raised by it The
premiums were awarded to results measur-
ing near 1000 bushels of good tubers to the
acre.
OF course the system was not an inven-
ton of the Rural New Yorker We, with
many others, were practicing it in our gar
dening operations before the Rural New
Yorker started it on its boom, but the
Rural New Yorker certainly deserves much
credit for its agency in rendering the plan
SO widely popular as ii now is.
resorted to in Irish potato culture is ex-
tremcly simple. You first break and
pulverize your land as deeply as you can
conveniently. You next plow out your
| trenches for the rows to Depth ranging
! from twelve 10 fifteen inches. The work is
usually done with small tuln plow, by
running to and fro in the row and throwing
the furrow up on each side. Next haul in
some kind of weil-decomposed vegetable
matter suited TO the wants of the potato,
and with it fill your trenches well up 10 the
| top. Nothing could be better than
thoroughly-rotted stable or cow-lot manure.
If matter of this character should be en-
ployed you can mix it about half with the
| ordinary soil plowed up from the trench.
You next plant your seed potatoes atop Of
The filed trench and rake the soil over them
TO the depth of from three to four inches;
indeed you rake the entire land to level,
having filed your trenches SO that, at the
dwelling of the land, your seed potatoes
will lie from three to four inches beneath
the surface.
This is all there is in planting Irish pota-
toes on the trench system. The after cui-
ture consists in simply keeping down weeds
and grass, and breaking the surface occas-
ionally by some kind Of shallow culture to
prevent baking. No blowing between the
rows is resorted to; forsooth deep blowing
between the rows would be against the
crops. The system calls for culture en-
tirely level The rows are usually located
from three 10 three and q half feet apart

TOO MANY FARM CATS.

We have no war to make on cats. If we
had we would leave it all to the French
scientists-see note in Popular Science
column for last week. The truth is, we
rather like cats, but an article by Mr.. w
W. Stevens appearing in the Farmers
Home Journal of Kentucky, would seem to
make it appear that the cat is not held as a
universal favorite even outside of France.
Mr.. Stevens begins by stating that he re-
sides in the country, and that many stray
cats find their way to his plantation. He
thinks hnd-hearted neighbors must imagine
that he is about cut Of cats, and is grieying
seriously over the shortage. For long
time his sympathy did go out for these home
less yyanders and he took them in, fed tnem
at the barn with good, fresh milk, and in
turn had his young chickens caught by
them. in addition to this act Of kindness
On their part hey robbed etey5 birds nest
on the premises Finally he was forced 10
the unwelcome conclusi9a that as q de-
stroyer of insect-devoufing birds the CIT
stood on the very top pf the ladder, so he
oiled up his shotgun, alld now those cats
are not there. The \gun Petnaihs loaded.
He adds: with the instinct resulting
from many generations of use, bisls returp'
each year to their accustomed places, and
when they see their young tall prey to
the cat as soon as they begin to fly, or per-
haps before they get out of the nest, asa
matter of course they seek saferretreafs,
and desert the premises. Very few young
birds escape, and this to large degree ac-
counts for the decline in numbers of our
feathered friends. Cats that learn to prey
on birds don't relish rats, and are generally
less helpful to the farmer than would have
been the birds destroyed by them. Give
the birds 4 chance, is my advice, and that
don't mean that we should give much
chance to the cats"

the advantages claimed for this system: In
tie first place it is presumed that your
land is well drained either naturally or 9TH
erwise. In other words, it must be what
we would consider good garden land. A
low, wet and soggy plat of land would not
do at all. and about the same might be said
relative TO any other system. Having land
OF this character, proceed to ask yourself
why you ridge up'' for Irish potatoes
when planting on the old plan. You can
not possibly explain the why's and where
fores in this case, and after you have
thought moment you will be able to see
the why's and wherefores in the trench sys-
ten. Your potatoes planted in ridge
have three surfaces of the row exposed TO
evaporation and drying out-the top Of the
ridge and its two sides. In the trench sys-
TEN you have but one narrow surface ex-
posed-the top. The two sides, as would
appear in the ridge, are beneath the ridge,
and hence not exposed to evaporation. In
this country it is drouth alone that cuts
short the potato crop, hence in the trench
system you have but about one-third as
much danger to encounter in that direction
as you would have in the old ridge system.
There are other arguments in favor of
the treuch system which might be pre-
scented with considerable weight, but GER
tainly this protection from the effects of
drouth ought to be sufficient 10 induce any
reasonable man 10 adopt it. There is no
argument to offer against it. The only
i i l,lA =
costs a little more TO get in the crop than
would the old plan. If the crop on the
old plan Is put in as il should DO the cost in
the two systems will show no material
difference. But when it comes 10 the after
culture the trench plan will have decidedly
the advantage. There will be no scraping
down Of ridges, and blowing out of middles
and hauling up of soil to the plants. But
the greatest gain will be found II the har-
vesting time. You may not be able TO
burst the rows wide open with a shovel
plow as You might do in case of the dry
and baked ridges of the old system, but you
will be able to get out double the quantity
of potatoes, at least, in almost every in
stance. a Georgia gardener once assured
Us that the trench system, properly worked,
would come nearer converting plat Of
land entirely into potatoes than any system
he knew anything about, and he thought he
had experienced a tussel with about all of
them.
We cultivate sweet potatoes on this same
plan, varying, of course, in filing the
trenches entirely full and setting the draws
above them. 1t has invariably given US
fine results and entire satisfaction in every
respect.

WHY BOYS QUIT THE FARM.

Bob Burdette of the Brooklyn Eagle is
the individual referred to BY Bill Nye in
his Fort Worth lecture of some nights ago
as having been introduced to his audience
as the greatest living humorist. When
through with his spread-eagle-introduct
ovation, the orator suddenly remembered
that he did not know the name of the man
being introduced, so he stopped over to the
humorist and asked for the name. This so
disguised Bob Burdette that he replied
Bob and so the great man was intro
duced to his audience as Mr.. Bob.
Well, this Mr.. Bobb has lately been
dabbling with the perplexing but much
discussed question of why so many boys
evince disposition to quit the farm and
strike out after life in the town or city. He
says: why do boys quit the farm! has
at length almost waxed into continuous
wall
But my dear sir" he continues, "there
are several good reasons, and it might be
well enough for the farmer opposed to this
wholesale emigration Of the farm boys, to
take a few of those reasons to his devo-
tional closet for solemn consideration. One
reason is because the boy does not attain to
the age Of siXty-five in the course OF the
first year of his life. Then, if there is a
hoe on the farm weighing fourteen ounces,
bright as q nickle plate and sharp as d razor,
and another hoe weighing somewhat less
than breaking plow, with an edge on it
like q hammer, and 4 sapling with the bark
on it for n handle, the hired man takes one
and the boy gets the other, and every man
in America knows which is the other.
did you ever stand with such hoe in
your hand away down in q corn row on
some airless, still, hot summer day, twenty
acres of corn blades and tassels whiting
about you, standing fourteen inches higher
than your head, shutting out every last
trace of breathable air, and then hear a
locust down in the edge of the timber strike
up his long, strident monotonous call 10

boys leave the farm
OF course it will be understood that this
article is intended for the old folks-it

California now has the greatest telescope

astronomy that are perfectly astounding
Professor Charles 4. Young, the eminent
Princeton astronomer. says the work it is
doing correctly stamps it as the leading
wonder of all ages up to this time. 1t has
given the observer distinct view of 100, O00,-
600 so-called fixed stars. Each of those
stars is undoubtedly sun, like our own,
with a planetary system revolving around
it. Each sun is pouring forth, should that
be an admissible term, volumes of heat and
light equal to the volumes of heat and light
supplied by our own sun, at least. OF
course we can understand comparatively
little of this-it is something too great to be
grasped by the human mind. The telescope
brings to view stars of such small magni-
tude-which simply means stars so distant
that it would require 10000 of them
thrown into one to render them so much as
dimly visible to the naked eye. The i'm

APPLIES TO THE sT.kEp PLAINS.

a census bulletin for March, issued by
the United States department of the in
terror, says of New Mexico along the Pecos
river just above the Texas line, that while
viticulture is comparatively new there, it
carries good promise of a prosperous future.
Not only can the native varieties of the
grape be successfully grown but the Euro
pean (Vinifero), also fourishes. In 1889
there were 11S6 acres of bearing vines, with
5000 acres of new vineyards. From the
bearing vines were produced 296, 500 gallons
of wine and 1779 tons or 3,55S, 600 pounds of
table grapes. "The information received
from New Mexico by the census Office shows
a great advance in viticulture since irriga-
ton has proven practicable. MIR
Il. G. Shields, leading horticultural
authority, says he has tested thoroughly
peaches, apricots, apples, nectarineS and
French and German prunes, and is much
pleased with their success. He refers eX-
clusivcly to the Pacos valley. The
grapes grown successfully in New Mexico
Tor rsisins are the muscat of Alexandria,
the mpscatel and the suitana. Re feels as
surcd that IN two years from 1889, there
will be 100000 acres il grapes along the Pc
COS valley
AL of which ought TO be good reading for
Texas people living further down along the
Pecos. They certainly have every advan-
tage that could be enjoyed by the Peccs val
ley people up in New Mexico, with de-
cidedly better climate thrown in on their
side. And thsn the thing hangs on
nothing Of mere guess work, for extensive
practical tests have already been made. The

am Furthermore well pleased with your
expressed opinion with reference to eat

pens. Such meat is certainly unwholesome.
Hog meat is unwholesome enough ct best.
This being the case, what is there left for
Us to expect Of hog meat made in the midst
of ilthl hope you will continue to work
on this theme-it is certainly one calling
for an extensive awakening.
What you say in recent article concern
ing the so-called ''nigger-killer'' sweet
potato fully accords With what myself
know of that variety. It is certainly fine
potato, and if you can learn where seed of
the variety could be had, you might confer
great favor on the readers of The GA

their orders. l know of lots of Texans who
would like TO get start OF the '.nigger-

fine variety of sweet potato. We call it the

''yellow yam" in sweetness and ~sugary

out of it in the process of baking. 1t is
highly prolific and very fine keeper. Is
sugary and mealy even when first dug, and
in the growing season seems TO stand drouth
better than any other variety. The old
'.yellow yam" is a fine potato, of course,
b.: it will not compare with this Texas
variety in standing drouth. 1t also yields
