DAIRY PHILOSOPHY.
How to Make Cows Pay Their Own Way
the Year Around.


Yes, sometimes cows of no breed will
pay well in the dairy, but cows of that
lSinl cannot be depended upon to
transmit their good qualities to their
calves.
The only way to be sure COW has
good milking qualities which can be
perpetuated in her offspring is to be
sure she has good blood in her.
Don't condemn breed until you have
given it fair trial; don't let prejudice
have any say in the matter,
In selecting djws of any of the breeds
take thoA which have the character.
istic colors of that breed.
Not that color indicates quality, but
that an ''otf" color is not a sign of sim
side" Improvement and may be sign
of departure from the standard.
Like begets like" within certain linn
its, but the certainty of results is only
known at the pail.
Better to get rid of the poor cows be.
fore they go on grass; cheap feed warps
the judgment.
Any little improvement in dairying
that will cheaper cost of production will
sum up the same as an increased selling
price.
Don't believe any theory is correct
until you have tried it, and don't try it
in wholesale way.
We must have our own particular
routine of dairy work; what exactly
suits our neighbor may not work out
smoothly in our own dairy.
+ A routine way Of doing things saves
much time, but we must improve that
routine when we can.
Don't depend too much upon breed;
feed is breeds equal partner.
And the check of the firm of Breed e.
Feed is not good unless indorsed by the
feeder.
A COW is in her prime when she is
| from five to seven years old; with her
second calf she ought to show what she
will do when older.
If a COW does not prove to be good
one when she mothers her second calf
she will likely be too expensive for any
but a rich man to keep.
There are exceptions to all rules, but
we can't lin eases of cow always af-
ford to wait to see if our COW is an lex"
ception."
If COW waited until her third calf
before she proved profitable, her heifer
calves might wait until their fourth
calves, and that would be ruinous
| Sometimes COW waits" because her
feeder does not do his part right; we
must not condemn COW until all the
evidence is in.
All cows do not like the same kind of
feed, neither will they do so well as
they would on some other kind
If one or two cows in herd do not
seem to be doing as we'll as they should,
try them on another kind of feed
A change of feed will often improve
the appetite; COWS must be hearty
feeders to do well at the pail,

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

EVERY horse that is expected to
work on the farm during the spring
and summer should have collar and
set of harness properly fitted to it.,
This will lessen the risks of CALLED
shoulders.
WHEN land will not respond to
manure or good surface tillagc the
fault may be due to wet subsoil, whic h
may be partly if not wholly relieved of
its extra supply of moisture by the use
of drain-tile.
BRAN contains more mineral matter
than the ground grain, and for that
reason it is one of the best foods that
can be used for milch COWS and grow
ing stock. 1t can safely be used to
supply deficiency in nearly all kinds
of rations
HEAVY beef breeds of cattle only
thrive well on farms that can supply
abundant food, both in pasture and
grain. They cannot forage over bar
rem fields as nimbly as the smaller
breeds and are not well adapted for
steep hillsides,
KEEP no horse, cow or sheep with
small contracted nostrils. They are
one of the best indicators of the vitality
and serviceability to be found, A large,
full, open nostril is sure evidence of the
free use of the lungs, and this means
better blood and more of it.

MnIchinr Young Trees.

A neighbor who had about an acre of
young forest trees asked how to keep
the weeds from growing up and check
ing the trees. l advised him to mulch
the ground thoroughly two or three
inches deep with straw, such as the
cattle had tramped down about the
straw stacks, for in the forest the
ground is mulohed with leaves, etc,
which prevent the growth of weeds,
and retain the moisture, thus assisting
the trees to grow. The straw mulch
does the same. He tried it the next
spring, and | never saw trees grow as
those did, and the ground was perfect
ly free from weeds. This method of
culture requires but little labor, and
straw or prairie hay for mulching is
very easily obtained.-Cor.0 Orange Judd

WOOL DRESSES.
Dressy Fabrics for Ladies of Moderate
Means.


Means.
Wool dresses are more durable, more
manageable and every way more salts
factory than those of silk and while
the latter material has attractions for
people of limited means, the wool dress
with handsome trimming will still oc
cupy large share of the attention of
well-dressed and fastidious women
Indeed, it may be said that in this par
ticular, the position of silk and wool
are to be somewhat reversed. In old
times silk dress was the ambition and
hope of the woman or girl with a slen-
der bank account. Now, when elegant
wooden materials are much more eXpen-
sive than really good silks, the tastes of
persons of limited income can be graf
fled by silllen fabrics, while the
wool costume with the expensive
trimming which often accompanies it
will be the special fancy of the wealthy.
There is, in addition, much to indicate
the popularity of fine black woolen ma
terials Ladies have grown weary of
faded stripes and streuls in their light
tinted apparel, and are, for out-of-door
wear at least, turning to very dark col
ors and black. Black Henrietta cloth,
| fine camel's-hair and fair sprinBling
of black silk, will, it Is said be the
leading materials For street wear for the
coming season. There are some shades
of tan which do not fade badly, and
these will be used for tailor costumes
and semi-dressy wear. Navy blue, the
various shades of green, gray, hello
trope, dull pink, cardinal and yellow,
will be popular colors.-N. Y. Ledger,

Does the Cow Need Rest?

About every SO often somebody comes
forward with the absurd idea that the
COW needs rest; that she should be per-
mitted to go over one year without be-
ing MIXED or having a calf. 1t is al
most too absurd to notice, and yet, how
ever ridiculous notion may be, there
are some who may be mislcd by it. Ma
ture understands her business very
thoroughly, 1t is not natural for the
COW 20 rest and she is not benefited by
doing so. Besides, if farmer or
dairyman was compelled to let his
whole herd rest part of the time, where
would the profits of dairying come
from? The practical farmer and dairy
man, though he knows little of science,
knows that the rest doctrine is non
sense.-Farmer's Voice.

of Molasses.
In the old colonial day, when well
20 do woman owned one silk dress, wore
it for a lifetime, and then bequcathcd it
still in good condition to her children,
the buying of that precious garment
was serious matter indeed. At sixteen,
f her father could afford to buy it for
ner, girl was considered Of age to pos
sess the coveted gown ard sweep proud
" forth in it to full young ladyhood.
Often country girl would travel
many miles with father or brother to
select the fabric in the Eearest large
town. Often, too, the purchase was de-
ferred until she was about tC marry
and she went instead with the young
man of her choice, and the couple bought
at the same time their household furni-
ture and the wedding dress of the
bride.
1t is pleasant to think of the mingled
delight and anxiety of such pair Of
| old-time lovers out shopping together;
but there is one instance at least on
record where the expedition ended in
| disaster.
A young man and maiden from Old
Newbury, had ridden to Boston, a jour
ney of forty miles, on horseback, the
prospective bride mounted behind her
betrothed upon a pillion. They had
relatives in the city with whom they
stayed over night, and were thus en-
abled to make their purchases at their
leisure, with careful consid Grafton for
each
At length everything was bought or
bargaincd for, and the bundles securely
tied up and arranged for the return
journey, but when the moment arrived
for the bride to remount upon the pill
lion she found some difficulty in accom-
plishing the feat, and to make it easier
for her the horse was brought close to
the side of large hogshead, standing
in what is now Dock square, Boston.
With the aid of box she mounted to
the top, and was about to step thence
to the horses back when the heading
gave way beneath her feet, and she was
precipitated with splash and a Shrek
