Beets for Mich Cows.

A bulletin OF the Ohio agricul-
tural experiment station gives the re-
suits OF experiment in feeding sugar
beets to mich COWS, made during
the past winter, with a summary of
two similar experiments, one made
by the station in 1889 and one by the
farm department. In the last named
experiment eight COWS were kept I'M
der the test for eleven weeks; in 1889
twelve COWS for eight weeks, and in
1890, twelve COWS for nine weeks, the
COWS IN each case being weighed daily,
as we'll as their feed and milk In each
OF three experiments the COWS ate
more hay and more total dry matter
when feeding on beets than on other
foods and in each case more milk was
gwen from the beets than from the
other foods, but it is not yet demon
strated that the increase OF milk was
produced economically.
For twelve years records have been
Kept on the farm now occupied by the
station, which shows that the aver
age yield of beets over this period has
been nearly sixteen tons per acre,
against an annual yield OF about
tifty-five bushels CT shelled corn per
acre. But crop OF fifty-fye bushels
OF shelled corn with it's fodder, will
contain NEARLY twice as much dry
matter as sixteen tons of beets, and
these experiments Indicate that,
whether fed dry, as cornmeal and dry
fodder, or as corn ensilage, the dry
matter Of the corn crop will be found
as effective, pound for pound, as the
dry matter OF the beet crop. It is
possible to raise much more than
sixteen tons of beets to the acre.
One crop of two acres is reported AT
thirty-seven and one-half tons per
acre, and smaller areas have given
still larger yields, but such crops re-
quire very rich land and thorough
culture. Whether it is possible to pro-
duce pound of dry matter in beets
as economically as it can be done in
corn is not definitely settled
but the probabilities are against

Picking Geese.

The picking should be done in a
close room, as every breath OF air will
scatter the feathers and down. The
bird having been taken up, a long
stocking should be drawn over its
head and down upon the neck to pre-
vent its severe biting. The wings
must either be held or secured in
some way, as they are power
full organs and capable OF
leaving black and blue marks
where they fall. The bird might be
secured to table, as is recommended
in fastening chickens undergoing the
operation OF coponizing The small
feathers should be removed, and all
the large ones except four or five I'M
der each wing, which must be plucked
to keep the wing from dropping,
should be left. The down should be
removed only in very warm weather.
The number OF times it is advisable to
pick geese will depend upon the elm a te,
some seasons being more favorable
than Others, but will average about
three. When the quill OF the feather
is ripe-that is, clear, not filed with
bloody matter-picking may be en-
ployed, but at no other times. From
three pickings about one pound of
feathers will be obtained, and these
will bring from fifty to seventy-fve
cents a pound,-not a small item OF
profit where geese are kept in large
numbers. The goslings may be
picked when about nine weeks old.
At the first picking all the feathers on
the back and shoulders, and the large
ones on the hips should be left. In
about six weeks they may be picked
a second time and more freely. Per-
sonally we should prefer not to pick
them more than once before arriving
at a marketable age, and that once
when they were about three and 8
half months old.-Pouhry Yard.

Lunp-Jaw in Cattle.

Inc discussions and litigation that
has been going on with regard to the
nature OF lump-jaw in cattle and the
healthiness OF the meat, have awaken:
ed unusual interest in this singular
disease, or, possibly, Diseases A cor.
respondent suggested a few weeks since
! that 1t might be the result of dehorn.
ing. Abiding to this, Mr.. A. J. VIM
pie, of Beresford, South Dakota,
makes the suggestion that it is the
.ack Of salt. He gives the following
! experience with it during the last sea.
son:
''Last May my herd was so badly
affected with it that the assessor
threw out a number OF head, so bad
y diseased that he regarded them as
worthless. did not call a veterina-
cian and the Jumps in due time disap-
peared. In June I purch ased guam
tity OF rock salt and left it where my
cattle had free access. It lasted until
October 1, and from that time until
December my cattle were sailed irreg-
ularly. In December three more cat
tie, two of them dehorned, were at
tackled, and thinking it might be from
the want of salt, I procured another
supply, and since that there have
been no new cases and the affected
ones have recovered"
The question at once arises whether
any OF these cases were genuine lump
jaw, or some disease that might or
might not be due to the lack OF salt.
The conclusion of our correspondent
that it pays to salt stock regularly is
obvious in either case. Are there g.
number Of diseases that pass under
the common name Of lump jaw? Why
does it appear in some localities
and on some farms while
on other farms and in other
localities there is not a. case in ten
years? We have never had a case and
have not seen a case in our locality
in twelve years. May not much OF
what we call lumpsiaw be simply the
lack OF proper diet, salt and care, or
possibly OF decayed teeth, which need
ed only the lance? At any rate we
have scriptural authority for the
statement than ''salt is good" and
If the scare about lump-iaw leads
farmers to salt their cattle more regu-
Iarly it will be a good thing.-Home-

Horses on the Farm,

No farmer should ever have any
thing but mares on his place, and if
more OF them SHOULD come on than he
can profitably keep he should sell the
worst and never the best. Ceilings
should never be kept after they have
reached saleable age, and no one
should ever permit a few dollars to
tempt him to part with good mare
and keep poorer one. One span Of
good.mares is as good astart for real
ly profitable commercial horse raising
as fifty, and better, for there is al
ways work enough to pay for the
keeping Of one span and there never is
for fifty. Breed to the best always,
for the good sells for better prices,
and that kind has a good deal less
competition to meet. One kind of
destructive competition to which
the cattle business has been
subjected, the raising of good
horses q escapes entirely-we mean
range competition. The best coach,
trotting and draft horses will always
be raised on the farm and never on
the range, and they will always bring
good price; and there is no danger OF
reaching the end of the business in
raising that kind of horses, for there
never yet was coach horse that was
handsome enough in form and action,
a trotter that had enough speed or a
draft horse with enough bone and
muscle OF the right quality. However
we'll one may do, there is always
room to do better; however high one
may 60, there are yet heights beyond,
inviting to further effort. We can
very we'll remember when 2:4O was the
synonym for matchless speed; now
breeders are dreaming of the two min
ute trotter. With other styles OF
horses achievement has been equally
great and hope for further efforts is
just as promising; although it is not
quite no readily expressed in definite
figure indicating the progress made.
