Dairy and Creamery Notes.

One OF the main planks Of good dairy
ing is to keep all Of the poor COWS rooted
out as you would weeds from row Of
beets in the garden.
The next plank that lies right side Of
it is to have good young COWS of your
own raising to fill into the thinned ranks
The COWS that you pluck out either
through age or natural defect, if healthy,
can be turned into beef. You won't get
as much out of them by this measure as
is the worth of the new and vigorous
stock you put in their places, but you
will obtain something, whereas if you
kept the old material it would be a daily
loss to you.
The prevalence Of winter dairying has
changed the subject of breeding good
deal, for now we have COWS coming in
new milk in the fall as well as in the
spring. The question arises with many,
'Can [ raise the resulting fall calves, if
need be, with profit to myself?' I an
swer, eyes, If you have stable com
Portable enough and surroundings ade-
quate to make winter dairying a sue
cess" You wouldn't be into the bust
ness probably Unless you were SO fixed
for warm surroundings, and so with
good food the calves will flourish now
as we'll as in the spring.
The advantages of the creamery over
the private dairy are in having a room
especially prepared and devoted to dairy
uses, the best appliances for handling
the milk and skilled labor for doing the
work in all OF its branches. The private
dairy which can provide all of this ought
to make better butter or cheese than the
creamery, because it need not have to
carry the load of the milk of poor cows,
fed upon poor food and MIXED by care
less men, VIII n sometimes gets into the
creamery, and cannot help but iniure
the quality Of the whole product, though
the better. class of patrons send enough
good, clean milk to counterfeit the effects
Of it to some extent.
When dair~men wake up to the fact
that it is quite as easy at we'll managed
creamery to make good butter in the
winter as in he summer we probably
shall find most Of the crea1neries run
ming ali the year and there viii not be
such rise and fall in butter prices as
we now have each season. Farmers will
have their cows come fresh in milk at
various seasons, and feed to keep up the
milk supply more months in the year,
instead Of allowing the cows to go dry

GO TO THE DAIRY CONVENTION.
Men Who Simply Stay on Earth and Take
Up Room.

Men Who Simply Stay on Earth and Take
Up Room.
We can find thousands Of dairy farmers
in the land who have scarcely learned
thing in thirty years. They have never
spent dollar in that time to learn any
thing about business that requires the
sharpest kind Of wits to get the best
profit out Of it.
These men in reality are not hungry
for knowledge. They are simply stay
ing on earth for few years without a
good healthy appetite for Elemental food
they need. They have no idea that there
is much if any brains needed to feed
and milk COW. They have never in
vested any brains in the question, and
their actions show that they can't see
that they are needed.
We have seen hundreds Of instances
where such men would be coaxed into
dairy convention from the street corner.
and it would end in their telling US that
they were astonished to see how much
interest and how many good, valuable
ideas they got out Of the meeting. The
great drawb back to dairy progress and
out Of the business has been just this low
down estimate SO many have put on the
exercise of their own brains. There is
lot in it, and individuals and communi-
ties will fail of what they ought to get
just as long as they maintain such an es-
innate. Don't begrudge the few dollars
expense necessary to attend your state
dairy convention. Make a special effort
to secure q little extra help to look after
the COWS and the milk while you are
gone.
There is hardly a. farmer in the land
but what could find a chance to go to
California for two weeks if he knew he
had fallen heir to $1,000 and the jour
ney was necessary to get it. Yet he
must remember that we are heirs to the
effects Of our own mind on our business.
Good ideas must always underlie sound
action. There is no escape from this
fact, and no man needs the company
Of good ideas as much as the farmer who
is handling herd Of COWS. A bad no
ton, erroneous judgments, stupidity in
place Of intelligence, always punish the
dairyman that keeps company with them.
A good dairy convention, where is gath
cred the brightest men in the business,
will prove a grand cure for these bad
things.
There is a great need of an old fash
Toned revival among the dairy farmers
of the land. So many are going wrong,
working themselves and their wives and
children like slaves, and wasting a large
portion of that hard work because they
will not see that their thought, judg-
ment-in word, their brains-need
stimulating and quiclzening to better per
ception of what is the best dairy truth.
Turn out, good friends, and attend
every dairy convention and farm insti-
tute you possibly can. Take the good
vito along too. Heaven bless her, she
needs it as much as any one.-Hoard's
Dairyman.

Interesting Potato Experiments.

The experiments with potatoes, con-
Quoted and reported upon by Professor
Golf, of the Wisconsin station, included
a test of ffty-nine varieties. Tabulated
data are given for the ten most product
i've varieties. These were Burpee Su-
perior, Maine Champion, Pride Of the
West, Bill Nye, Northern Spy, Della
ware, Harris No. /, Duplex, Dandy and
Seneca Red Jacket.
Experiments at this same station in
1890 in planting Rose Seeding potatoes
in hills and drills agreed with those of
the previous year in showing no great
difference in yield from the two meth
DDS. "The thirty-fou drilled rows yield
ed 1886 pounds of merchantable pota-
toes and 343 pounds of small potatoes,
against 1929 pounds of merchantable
and 223 pounds of small potatoes from
the thirty-four rows of hills"
Notes and tabulated data on an ex-
pertinent in which potatoes were plant
ed whole, cut lengthwise and cut TO two
eyes, with and without removing the
seed ends: when whole tubers were
used there was a loss of 22.4 per cent. in
the yield from removing the seed ends
When the seed was cut to two eyes
there was a loss Of 2.6 per cent, and
when the seed was cut lengthwisa there
was very slight loss. The results agree
in general with those of the previous
year"

Salt for Pigs.

An English veterinary expresses him
self as follows on the subject of sailing
pigs:
Personally I would not allow a free
supply, which is what putting a lump in
the trough means, and especially to in
pig or sucking sows or very young an
inals. Salt is decidenly injurious if
given to pigs in large quantities and
leads to condition that is described as
salt poisoning. A little will do no harm
perhaps to large pigs, but whether it is
prejudice or because experience has dem
onstrated that it is bad for the animals
salt is never placed in the piggery. The
cases where [ have seen salt do mischief
is where brine from the pickle tub has
been mixed with the wash, butchers
waste and that from hotels commonly
containing far too much. The same
thing applies to soda, which often gets
into the wash when dishwater is emptied
into it,
strongly advise against the use of
salt for sucking sows-any one may bid
goodby to the youngsters if they get any
quantity. Even the liquor in which salt
meat has been boiled has been known to
upset them. A far greater essential for
pigs than salt is small coal or other grit.
Tt is useful also where pigs do not get
the liberty of run to cut sOds Of turf
with plenty of soil adhering and throw
them in the pen,

Cultural Notes on Tomatoes.

In bulletin from Cornell station
Professors Bailey and Corbett announce
additional items in the treatment Of to-
matoes or confirm previous ones. Early
setting is important, giving the plants a
longer season in bearing before frost.
Leggy or long stem plants should be set
out nearly fiat, half the stem being COW
cred. Killing plants is Of no advantage,
nor is trimming. Single stem training
gives more and earlier fruit. Early SOW
ings gave earliest fruit, but the heaviest
crops came from late sowings. Nitrate
of soda is a good partial fertilizer, but it
is of no benefit in very poor soils.

Suppose farmer has flock OF medium
sized common fowls. He is so situated
that he can raise spring chickens profit
ably and has q good market for dressed
poultry all the year round. We should
advise him in such circumstances to pur-
chase of some fancier one or two Light
Brahma cocks and put with his hens.
Such fowls can be bought for reason
able sum. AS a result OF this cross there
will be decided improvement in the
size, the quality of the flesh, and in the
uniform and fine appearance of the flock.
The extra profit from such a flock will
pay many times over for the little extra
expense in buying the pure bred cocks.
The same cocks can be used for a second
year, or other birds of different strain
may take their places.
The third year it will be best to make
an entire change of blood. We would
suggest that White Leghorn cocks should
now be introduced in place Of the Brah-
mas. As a result of this cross we should
get good, fair sized, plump bodied fowls,
and most excellent layers and very uni
formly feathered birds. After using the
Leghorn cocks two years the Brahma
cross may bemade again, and SO on in
definitely. If the person prefers, Partridge
Cochins may be alternated with Brown
Leghorns or Plymouth Rocks with Dom
iniques. Let an experiment of this kind
have a fair trial, and we believe there is
no farmer who will not admit that j:
pays to buy thoroughbred fowls. We
are writing now for such persons as are
averse to the expense Of stocking entirely
with pure Brahmas, Leghorns, Plymouth
Rocks or some other standard breed.

Points in Butter Making.

During the hot weather butter makers
are greatly troubled with soft butter.
This is largely due in most cases to inn
proper handling Of the milk, cream and
butter. Where persons have spring
houses or refrigeratOrs butter that is
soft when churned can soon be brought
into a firm, presentable appearance, but
it is far better that it should come from
the churn in the right condition. Grass
butter, made from rich old pastures
free from weeds, and from such varieties
as June or Kentucky blue grass, orchard
grass, red top, wire grass and white
clover, or from mixtures of some Of
these sorts, if churned at little below
60 degs. and properly handled, should be
of texture that will give little or no
cause for complaint. During the hot
spellsy however, there is tendency for
the butter to be soft, notwithstanding
any care which may be taken of it.
As the result Of experiments made at
the Ontario (Canadian) experiment sta
ton to test the effect of food on milk
and butter, Professor II. Ell. Dean re-
ports that the addition of small guam
tity Of meal, especially cottonseed meal,
to the food has tendency to make the
butter frIner and raise the melting point
from 1 to 4 dogs. centigrade. During the
last summer about one pound per day of
cottonseed meal was fed to each cow at
pasture, mixed with bran or some grain
meal, and not churning of soft butter
occurred during the whole season.
Whether this was altogether due to the
cottonseed meal he is not prepared to
say, but believes it had much to do
with il.

On the Country Road,

While in many cases it may not pay TO
warm water for stock, it will at least
pay to keep them from drinking ice
water from frozen ponds or troughs.
When the farmer buys new wagon
next spring he should see that it has
broad tires.
If the ice is cut into large, regular
shaped chunks, and these ARE packed
closely together in the house, they will
keep better. Any crevices should be
filed with pounded ice.
American Gardening advises where a
hop arbor is desired to plant root cut
tings, which can be obtained from any
hopgrower or from many nurserymen
at small cost.
An authority on such matters believes
that the gals on an oak, by attracting
ants, lead to the slaughter Of quantities
of caterpillars and other insects, which
are its natural enemies.
Among young trees and in half shade
you can plant currants, gooseberries,
Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries,
etc.

plant is vigorous grower and its fruit
large and excellent.

NITRATE OF SODA AND CEREALS.

The True Theory and Safe Rule for AppIv-
ing Valuable Fertilizer on Grain Crops.
Following the principle of obtaining
the greatest amount of anything for the
least cost, nitrate of soda is Of the great
est use to farmers for their cereal crops
affiTms a correspondent Of American Cll-
tivator. 1t gives very unsatisfactory re-
suits, however, unless properly used. If
applied in the spring in large quantities,
it naturally stimulates the growth of the
straw, so that the grain does not have
much chance to develop. The nitrate of
soda applied when the straw is growing
produces very luxuriant growths, and
another application given when the grain
is forming stimulates this part of the
plants in the same way. If used for
wheat, about One-quarter Of the amount
to be applied should be used in the fall.
This gives the plants good start, and
during excessively dry falls it makes the
grain endure the drought better.
One-half Of the remainder of the nj
trates should then be applied in the spring,
when the vegetation begins to start up
and grow. This VIII give it a good be-
ginning anu make CLe straw grow strong
and rapidly. But to avoid too luxuriant
growth the remainder Of the nitrate must
be spread over the fields just before
blossoms appear. The grain is begin
ming to form heads then, and the nitrate
will help forward the process. The true
theory and rule for using the nitrate Of
soda on the cereal crops is never to let
the soil be lacking in potash and phos-
phoric acid. These should be in album
dance in the soil, and then the nitrate will
give results for all cereals that cannot
be surpassed by any OTTER fertilizing
material.
