Keep up the Flow of Milk

Over a wide breadth of the pastures are
showing the effects of the prevailing
drought Also all pastures whether dry
or not, will soon show the effect of the adj
vancing season in the ripening off OF the
grass that through the rapid early summer
growth may have in greater or less meas
ure. accumulated above the immediate
wants of the stock. AS consequence
COWS running in these pastures will soon
show falling off in milk for the want, to
put it in plain language, OF not having
enough to eat. Now is the time to pro-
vide against this. 1t may be done by in
PRODUCING grain feed or supplying in the
form of fodder at the barn what the pas
lures fail to furnish. At any rate it will
be poor economy to allow the COWS to
shrink for the want of a sufficient food
supply.
Hay is a good supplementary food with
which 10 meet such a want and ted at
night in the barn will do well in keeping
up the milk Green oats, and better still,
oat and peas, may be used to advantage
for time. These however, will soon pass
to a stage of ripeness uniting them for
the purpose. But the hay NOV is always
in order and always good feed to come
in at any time wanted, and it is none the
less valuable for being dried,
Graia food if discontinued through the
summer, should be resumed soon, and
al avs before the time COWS begin TO
shrink for want of it.-.lI0iHr Farmer.

The waterfall situated at Last New
Portland on the Carrabbasset river, seven
miles from North Arson, is one of the
many falls on this beautiful liver, writes i
correspondent of the Industrial Journal.
1t has been surveyed by a. w, Starbird
OF Florida and found to be one of the best
powers for development on the river. At
this place the river passes through high
banks on either side and is very
narrow so that 100 feet would be the length
of dam necessary to give full supply of
water the year round for manufacturing
purposes
This is a splendid chance for manu-
featuring long and short lumber, as there
is plenty of hard and soft timber within a
short distance OF the power, and from the
upper waters Of this river an unlimited
supply can be tloated down. Emery &
Collins OF North Arson drove thi, Sring
about 2,ooo, 900 feet to that place.

the manufacturer is tied to his bell rope,
and the mechanic has his allotted working

work, and great many times 1t happens
that he is so eager to accomplish some
thing that he has no schedule OF time, to

that such farming is hard business
There is an easier way To do about as
much, sometimes more, and ID is by
system and regularity. The farmer needs
to learn, as many OF his itllgN men have
years ago, that haphafArd IS not working
to advantage, and that the best way IS a
certain way that has a stated time and
also that an hour, even IN the busy season

the good crops of 1891 and 1892, farmers
sowed every acre they possibly could to
wheat last fall, every grain of which has
been lost on account of the most severe
and long continued d'cuth ever known in
that country. The wheat, oats, barley,
