THE DAIRY.
Not n Machine.

Every few days one runs across a
paragraph that "the cow is ma
chine" According to the Practical
Farmer this is a great mistake. The
cow is an animal with life, instincts,
natural powers and besides most
wonderfully sensitive animal. The
cow is a mother, and it is by this
mother function that dairying is car
ried on. The maternal gift to her
young is appropriated by the map,
and to extend this beneflcence the
cow must be cared for, fed, and
treated, not like a machine but liv-
ing organism, that out Of that mys-
terry OF life and its perpetuation,
prosperity may come to the owner. A
machine may be pounded with ham,
mer; it may be kept out In storm and
cold; it may be neglected and all this,
but let any Of these evils come upon
the COW, and decreased flow of milk
tells why the cow is flesh and blood,
and endowed with feelings and q
right of justice. No dairyman in the
sense of the word, can be a success
full one that fails to accord to the COW
gentle care, full protection from not
only inclemency, but brutalty-men
brutes-and given suitable foods for
the stimulation of milk. Machines
may turn out hog butter and oleo;
but the fine butter, milk, and
cheese, are the product of cows,
treated as cows. and not made hardy
like iron machines.

NINETEEN judges of British courts
have decided that dehorning is legal,
and four ''are agin' it," This looks
bad for horns in the British Isles.
A POOR milker will often ruin the
value of a good cow. Patience and
good temper nowhere pay better than
in dairying. Raw Foreigners set to
work as mixers seldom pay.
If man wants TO invest a COW
with an aroma OF greatness, give her
a long name, Fortieth Duchess of
Bungletown, Queen Semiramis, or
Pride of Beaconsfield's Barnyard.
There is great deal in name,
whetheryo believe it or not.
MARES milk contains more sugar
than the cows milk-so L. w. Stew
art says-hence cows milk fora young
colt should be sweetcned. Ignorance
of the comparative quality of animal
milk is doubtless the reason why so
many young animals die when fed on

PLENTY of clothcspins should be
kept handy. Have box Of these and
drop them in the suds once in while,
and then wipe them dry, as they are
apt to get dusty and soil the clothes.
MUCH sickness in farmers families
in winter is due to keeping large
quantities of potatoes and other vege-
tables stored under sleeping-rooms.
To CLEAN oil paintings, first brush
them, then wash with warm milk,
diluted with water; rub with piece
of flannel dipped in turpentine and
then with dry flannel.
GREEN corn and Lima beans dete-
riorate more quickly than any other
vegetables; they should be spread out
singly on the cool cellar floor as quick
ly as possible after they come from
the market.
GOOD eggs may be quickly deslg-
mated by their dull shell and clean
appearance. An old or stale egg, as
a rule, has a dull, porous-looking
shell.
MALARIA is due to microbes, which
reach their victims either from the
air, by inhalation, or from drinking
water which has absorbed them.
Boil the water, avoid the night air,
sleep in the higher rooms of the

A little girl living on West Forty-sec
ond street will one day grow up into a
noble woman. Lite Davy, poor He
brew lad, for over a year delivered the
World TO the girls father. One day the

Somehow the family learned that the
poor lad had been run over by an Ice

He must forever after walk on a

The first day he resumed his heat he
hobbled on a crutch ma ie of piece of

will be as unlike as IL is possible to
be almost. For instance, last year
the onion crop in the early part of
the season was one of great promise,
hut as the season advanced q change
seemed TO come over the crop from
an unknown cause that occasiOned,
In some sections at least, an almost
total failure OF the crop. The onions
were small, and would not keep as
well as usual. We are led to believe
that all crops are more or less in
fluenced by atmospheric conditions
that are imperceptible to our senses,
and are liable to occur at any time.
Whether science will ever be able to
discover what these influences are, or
when they will occur, remains to be
seen with the doubt preponderating.
The fact that growing crops are
greatly injured or totally destroyed
by the recurrence of conditions that
science has as yet failed to predict or
explain, is very strong reason why
so many farmers are slow to recognize
the value of science as applied TO ag-
riculture. They fail to recognize
the fact that science cannot explain
or overcome all difficulties in agricul-
ture any more than in other direc-
tions. Farmers deal more extensive
ly with Nature than any other class
Of laborers, and without understand
ing all her laws they must not expect
to be able TO separate all the favor

THE PoULTRY-YARD.
Utilizing space.


Space costs something. That is,
space on the roost, space on the floor
and space in the yards. The hest
way TO cheaper the cost of space,
says Farm and Home, is to occupy It.
Two large hens on the roost will take
the space that two small ones could
occupy, and as small hen will lay
as many egg as large hen, there is a
gain of so per cent. in having the
roost occupied by the right breed.
1t is a waste Of space to build a
poultry-house with large amount of
the cost in the roof when the floor is
most important, and 1t is a loss of
space to have the nests. troughs, and
water-fountains sitting in the middle
of the floor that the hens require on
which to scratch. 1t is cheaper to
build a square poultry-house than to
adopt any other plan, because more
space can then be enclosed within

man who depends on other signs de-
serves disappointment.
A SWINE breeder Of long experience,
says that pigs grown from old and
mature dams, have proved to have
much greater vitality and will resist
disease. He never has cholera among
his hogs, and thinks this one of the
reasons of it.

Ens,laes In Barrels.

An inquiry has been made in regard
to keeping ensilage in barrels, for the
use OF poultry. IL the barrel is strong
and will resist the required pressure,
there is nothing to prevent the stor-
age of cut corn, green clover, grass,
cabbage or any other material; but
the pressure must be sufficient to en-
tirely exclude the air, as fermenta-
tion, should it result, will destroy the
contents Of the barrel.

Farm ms ON a Larre scalc.

The large farms in this country, of
from 5000 to 10000 acres, are run
on strictly scientific and business
principles. They have their book
keeper, superintendent, foremcn and
employees, who have certain duties
and perform them according to the
directions Of the owners, who some
times have several such farms. The
superintendent report each day the
number OF hours each man, horse
and machine has been occupied, and
thus the exact cost of every crop can
be calculated. With force of
twenty men, for instance, 800 acres Of
wheat can be harvested i'm a day. and
in putting it in the ground about $50
acres can be completed in one day,
using machine drills The machines
are all worked under the eyes of fore
men, each assigned to special work,
and thus no time nor labor is lost.
From 1900 to 1000 bushels of
wheat can be threshed in a day. In
Ohio and Michigan it costs three
times as much to raise wheat as it
does in Dakota. OF course Dakota
cannot supply wheat for the world
and so the prices must go up enough
to pay other farmers to raise it, where
it costs more than it does in Dakota.
The average increase in the worlds
consumption of wheat is about 40, :
900, 900 bushels.

Buk.,ng Corn ana Tying Fodder.


In husking corn it is a good plan to
draw four or eight shocks to one pile Of
corn. After strengthening the fodder,
says d. w. Stahl, in Farm and Home.
1 take my position with right hand
toward the tops of fodder. In this
position the right hand is brought
near the pile of corn thus doing away
with the motion oflooking every time
an ear is cast. Strip the ear clean
from husks and silk, with but two
motions Of the hands, right and left;
then break the ear from the stalk
across the palm Of the hand. Husk-
ing in this way keeps the hands from
getting sore. In cribbing corn, if it
is damp, put in occasionally a few dry
bricks Or stones, and, If Ihave them,
a few tile. These act as ventilators
and absorbents. / tie fodder with
long, straight timothy, dampened,
which l gather, and tie in bundles
after the mower i'm haying time. 1t
makes splendid tie, far superior to
rye straw or twine. Mice rarely cut
it; the stock always eat it; thus am
saved the bother of caring for lot of
old bands or q bundle of twlne
strings.

ShOrthorn bulls, and "pure" scrubs
seem to predominate. In talking to
a man so stocked up you always find
that the beef value OF the animal re-
ceiyes as much il not more consider
alton than the butter value.
This is all wrong, both In theory
and practice, and 1t Is no wonder that
those who keep this kind OF stock
complain that there is no money In
beef or butter. There is no money
in anything unless il Is good. You
may be able to kill two birds with
one stone, but as rule You will have
To pick up the stone after killing the
first bird before you can kill the
second, and so practically 1t amounts
TO using two stones. 1t Is the same
way In trying to get beef and butter
from the same COW; you can't get the
beef until after you get the butter,
and you don't get very much of
either; so il is better to aim at one
thing and make sure of that.
Now what shall the man do that
finds himself the owner OF lot Of
common cows? He cannot afford to
sell them and buy herd OF butter
cows. No, but he can afford to buy
a good Jersey or Guernsey bull, and
grade up his herd to better standard.
This will cost very little money and
not very much loss OF time. If he
cannot possibly get the beef idea out
of his head, he had better take the
Guernsey instead of the Jersey bull,
as he will then raise larger cows and
steers, for Of course he will think 1t
right to keep ali his bull calves.
OF one thing he must be sure, and
that is to have the bull from regis
tered stock and with a good butter
pedigree. He can breed this bull to
his own heifers, thereby making a
faster gain toward butter than If he
did not breed in; but it is bad for the
beef. After milking the cows result
ing from this cross the beef-and-butter
man will be on the road to full con-
version, and will begging to preach to
his neighbors about the impolicy Of
keeping scrubs.-A. l.. Crosby in
