FACTS FOR FARMERS.

IT is not always meanneSS that
makes a cow breachy; it is frequently
hunger.
kept in the barn ready for use, and is
so cheap and effective, it leaves little
to be desired and less excuse for lousy
cattle.
PROF. w. A. HENRY found by expert
ment that it cost S2.61 to produce q
hundred pounds of gain with lambs,
S.. 03 to secure the same gain with pigs
of about the same age.
1T is cheaper to make a good road
than to make a bad one. The money
expended on the wear and tear Of your
wagons, of your horses and harness is
enough to make a good road.
THE axiom "a penny saved is worth
two earned" is practically illustrated
by feeding unthrashed oats to COWS and
calves. Try it once and you will never
waste time, money and labor in thrash
ing oats.
PURE bred live stock is a leading
educator. The man who once be-
gins breeding becomes a student of
animal life. The result is a humane
and intelligent man with a prosperous
aud progressive family.
THOUSANDS of trees are ruined by
overbearing when young. The greedy
grower thinks it great luck to see a
tree heavily loaded at two. three or
four years old, but it is growth that a
tree wants at that age. not crops of
fruit
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1892-12-29

because of it A competent authority,
Prof. Z. a. Williams, in the Dakota
Farmer November 1, 1892, says: There
is story often heard throughout Da-
kota that it was introduced here by
Russian immigrants sowing 1T for
sheep feed. We have not been able to
get at the truth of this statement nor
to find just where the weed was first
introduced" He pronounceS it the
worst weed in South Dakota. In this
connection it should be noted that
when young the plant is used as forage
for sheep. This weed is an annual,
grows vigorously and produces an
enormous number of SEEDS which are
scattered over the prairies, because of
its tum bling habit.
Another important feature of the
weed is that it comes up after the
wheat is cut. DIR. Rose, in the report
referred to, suggests that farmers in
the western states take timely action
to eradicate it. In Nebraska a bill for
it determination was introduced, but it
failed to pass. 1t is impossible to say
just how far this weed may spread.
There are numerous cases on record
where some plants promised to be very
troublesome. but for some un-
known reason they failed to
spread. But this weed seems to
be thoroughly adapted to the soil
and conditions in southwest Iowa,
northeast Nebraska and the two Dako-
tas- We may well regard it with sus-
picion. The remedy to be applied is to
cut off all of the young plants and do
not allow any seed to mature. But
this requires concerted action Waste

The Importance of Keeping Dairy Uten.
sis Clean and Sweet.
In no other work Is there rs great a
demand for cleanliness as in the three
parts of the dairy business, milk, but
ter and cheese. The most attention is
needed to maintain the cleanliness OF
the milk receptacles, such as pals.
pans, cans and churns. In the first
place there should be sufficient sup
ply of pans that those emptied and
washed in the morning need not be used
until evening or the next day After
washing they should be placed in the
sunlight until used. On cloudy days
they can be thoroughly dried about the
stove and not nestled when they are
wet, and allowed tc thus remain for
several hours, as in that condition they
cannot dry, and when separated at
night they will give off a disagreeable
odor, and the warm milk placed in them
is certain to be contaminated All tin
dairy utensils should be first washed in
boiling water, then thoroughly rinsed
in clean cold water, and turned bottom
side up to drain and dry until again
used. All vessels about the dairy
should be cleaned as soon as emptied,
and not allowed to stand neglected for
hours thereafter The shelves, benches
and racks upon which the pans are set
should be washed with soap and water
every time they are cleared. Even. a
few drops of milk allowed to remain
on them to mold or gum up with butter
fat would prove unhealthy, and detri-
mental to the milk in the same-apart-
ment Where only a few COWS are
kept the same scrupulous cleanliness
should be observed. The surface of the
butter in the tubs should be covered
with cloth saturated with strong
brine, both during and after the filling
is completed Locate the filed tubs in
cool, dark portion of the cellar, ex-
anime once a week, and if the brine is
found oozing through the slaves, it
should be wiped away and not allowed
to remain and stain the wood. giving it
most uninviting look.-American

CARE OF A PIANO.

An Expert Gives Few Hints Concerning
the Care of This Instrument.
A skilled pianist never allows his be-
loved instrument to- stand up against
the wall in his room, Il space of at least
"a foot being allowed, says music
dealer. This is to prevent damp and
allow passage of dry, warm air. The
precaution is especially necessary in a
brick house where the wall is an out
side one. Bricks are anything but
damp proof, and unless the wall is
'furred" there will be considerable
dampness, especially when the first fire
is lighted for the fall Dampness is
fatal to piano, because, among other
reasons, the rosewood used in making
the frame is tropical wood, and not
capable of resisting moisture for any
length of time.
In a carelessly kept piano the polish
is bad, and the varnish looks as though
an army of insects had been at work on
it This is because the wood has
stretched and shrunk with great rapid
ity, owing to getting damp and then
being dried again, and a musician sell
dom cares to buy such an instrument,
knowing that the delicate interior has
suffered at least to some extent with
the exterior. Taking care of a piano
is half the battle, and the less damp
ness the less expenditure necessary to
keep it in fane.-Chicago Dispatch.

a Blanket of SNOW.

A winter covering of snow for the
fields. grass or grain, is extremely ben
efcial, preventing deep freezing of the
soil. keeping the plants and their roots
at an almost uniform temperature, and
the almost daily freezing and thawing
that occurs on land not thus protected
The covering of snow should be made
as uniform as possible by placing
branches of evergreens or any other
obstruction about the open spaces in
fields and especially upon the knobs
and other elevations where the wind
sweeps away the fallen SLOW These
distractions need not be placed in po-
sition until the ground is frozen solid,
when other farm work is not pressing,
and should there be an open winter the
protection afforded by the distractions

A talk ABOUT cATTM
The Three Grades Usually Kept by Ameri

We may class cattle that are usually

kinds: Those for milk. for butter and

giving as much as a pound OF butter a
day on an average If she converts
her food into butter, it Is evident that
she cannot convert it into milk or beef,
and in nearly all cases a COW that gives
large quantity of milk cannot give
extra rich milk or make a profitable
beef gain in flesh
The first thing to determine is the
special purpose for which the cattle
are to be kept and then select and
breed those that are best adapted for
this purpose. If milk Is an item, select
breed that gives large quantity of
milk. Often 1t is possible to keep cows
! and sell the milk TO better advantage
! than to manufacture it into butter.
Some families can grow a good quality
| of beef to better advantage than either
milk or butter, and then a beef animal
! is one that converts the food supplied
| into growth or gain of flesh. In either
case, by the selection of good sire,
breed in the direction wanted and with
sufficient Individual merit to transmit
his characteristics to his offspring. In
| this way, by carefully selecting the
cows, a gradual improvement can be
made in the direction desired. But it
| is hard to select and feed for general
| purpose animal, as such animals rarely
prove much above the average in any
one quality.-St- Louis Republic.
