THE PROFITABLE DAIRY COW.


One very common mistake with
dairymen, writes H. Hamilton in the
American Agriculturist, is to reckon
the value of COW by her yearly yield
of milk or butter. Perhaps, as a gen
eral rule, such a standard would more
often be right than wrong, but at the
same time it very often proves false
standard. At the Pennsylvania expert
ment station some very elaborate eX-
periments owere carried out, testing
the profit of COWS in milk and butter
making. All the food was carefully
weighed and charged. Marguerite
produced 6,512 pounds of milk and
296 pounds of butter, while Ramona
produced 5, 459 pounds of milk and
279 pounds of butter. Ordinarily the
dairyman would pronounce Marguerite
the better COW of the two, but ac-
counts had been kept with them, and
it was found, ut the end of the year,
that Marguerite had made profit of
only $31. 80, while Ramona returned a
clear profit of $61.50
All COWS have what is called nor
nal appetite; that is, they will con-
sumo food up to a certain point, with
return in the pail of profit, but all
fed beyond that amount is not only
lost, but actually Injuries the COW.
Every man who handles COWS should
test each one for at least a week dur
ing the fourth month from calving,
and by using scales on the feed and a
Babcock test on the milk, find out
where the normal limit of each COW
stands. One testing will probably
last the cows lifetime. This individ-
ual testing is particularly valuable,
owing to the remarkable variation III
the appetites and assimilating powers
of different COWS.
The writer once owned two Jerseys.
One was the largest COW, the largest
eater and the smallest mixer; while
the other was the smallest COW, the
smallest eater and the largest mixer
in the herd. Another COW was the
fattest and among the smallest milk
ers, but SO steady was her flow fro-I
end to end of the season that she aver
aged large when the years figures wer,
summed up. One of the interesting
features of dNirying is finding out thes,
queer creatures, to say nothing of the
black sheep you find in the herd, anl
that are proftably parted with to tn
first butcher who fancies them.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
try Yard,

Cut clover hay is of little value for
fowls-not worth the cutting,
Plenty of milk put before the poul-
try makes very little meat necessary.
Keep chickens away from low, damp
places, If you would avoid the gapes.
Nearly all kinds of garden peas will ,
yield better if planted reasonably
deep.
If chickens trail their wings or be-
come droopy, look for lice. In nine
cases out of ten they are the cause.
The fast walking gait deserves to be
more generally cultivated, as it is the
foundation of superiority in all other
gaits.
Some good butter makers recon-
mend brine-salting, claiming that the
butter will thereby be more evenly
sailed.
1t has been learned by actual test
that sixty pounds of wheat make more
and better milk than almost any other
kind of feed
Professor Henry shows by expert
ment that it costs $2.61 to produce 100
pounds of gain with lambs, and $3.O3
to produce the same gain with pigs OF
about the same age.
A horseman says that horses over
twelve years old often suffer from
toothache, which prevents mastitica-
ton and causes poor condition. Every
horse should be examined annually by
a veterinary dentist
Dry rations, though they contain
much more digestible nutriments, dc
not increase the milk yield to any great
extent. Succulent folders containing
sufficient nutriments appear to be bet
ter suited for good milk flow.
Hens need lime for the formation of
egg shells. Old plaster, broken lime
stone, and crushed oyster shells are
about equally good for this purpose.
They get most of the lime used for
shells out of their food and water.
Glover is by far the best hay for a
COW. Timothy is quite inferior hay
for making milk. Corn meal is the
best single grain for COW. 1t will be
cheaper to buy hay cutter, which
may cost only So for small one, than
try to make one.
No stock are more seriously affected
by storms than sheep. This has been
shown plainly and repeatedly. Il
.helter is easily accessible sheep will
seek it during storms and wind. Their
instinct viii often bring them to the
barn before their owner is aware q
approaching rain.

A Song Of New Times

Old times will come no more,
However sweet and bright;
We've said goodby and shut the door:
SO still, goodnight"
But new times
And true times.
The distant sky adjoining,
Are bright times
And light times;
So bid new times good morning.
Old times will come no more.
With all their wrong or right:
There is seal upon the door,
And we have said good night.
But new times
Gods true times,
His happiest times adjoining.
Are our times
All flower times;
So bid new times good morning.

A Solemn Scene at a Bedside.

A devout woman of a fashionable
Back Bay street was recently sick, as
her family and friends believed, unto
death. She had made her prepare
tions, and was daily awaiting her end
with patient resignation. Her hours
of suffering were cheered by the Gimp
ses of the unseen world that came to
her, and one day she called her attend
ants, who were grouped around her in
hourly anticipation of her decease;
"Oh, that heavenly music. Don't you
hear it?"
Strongly impressed, in spite of
themselves by her fervor, they strain
ed their ears to catch the hNrmonies
of heaven, when cyclonic burst of
sound from a street organ, manipula-
ted by an italian across the street,
swung full into the rollicking measure
of 'Ta-ra-ra- boom-de-ay," accompan-
led by q tambourine.
There was a moments silence in the
sick room, then an involuntary burst
of laughter, in which the sick woman
Joined. From that moment reaction
set in, and today she has the prospect
of years of life before her. i Boston

Scoring the Doctors

Editor Guthrie in the Boerne Post says:
"Dr. H. A. Blair, San Antonio,
has published a letter which has
attracted considerable attention,
especially in medical circles. In
that letter he criticises severely
the State convention recently held
at Austin, first because while in
securing legislation it does not
protect the public by requiring
that none but duly qualified
medical men be allowed to prac-
tice. and he scores the local board
of examiners for their apathy in
this important matter. In the
second place he scores the COnven-
tion for trying to stop the sale of
patent medicine without the for
mula being on the bottle when they
know that the prOprietors will not
give their trade secret away
and that the state can
do nothing to stop the sale
of an article licensed by the fed
eral government. The letter is a
very able one, and shows that the
convention has made serious
blunders in the action referred to-.
DR.. Blair is evidently a man of
considerable acumen. He don't
often talk or write, but when he
does so he enunciates common
sense and the people listen"

DECISION WAS RESERVED.
Fred Miller Given Hearing on the Ben
ming Bookmaking Offense.

There were quite a number OF sporting
men in Judge Mlller's court yesterday 10
hear the test case against Fred I. Miller,
charged with setting up a gaming table and
allowing playing thereon at Benning's dur-
ing a horse race there last Saturday. The
speci Rcations allege bOokmaking as the par
ticula otfense. Mr.. Miller was represented
by Lawyer Harry Davis, while Mr.. Mullow-
ney appeared for the government.
Mr.. Davis recited the provisions OF the law
of January 81, 1888, and that of March 2.
1891. These laws he held were manIfestly at
cross purposes. The law of 1888, he said,
provides that no gaming table shall be set up
anywhere in the District of Columbia, and
declares that the punishment for such offense
shall not be more than five years imprison
ment in the penitentiary. The law of 1891, 3,
on the other hand, makes il un lawful TO bet,
gamble, or make pools on the races elections,
etc. within one mile of the cities of Washing
ton or Georgetown, and reads as follows;
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives Of the United States of Amer
lea in Congress assembled, That it shall be
unlawful for any person or association OF per-
sons in the cities of Washington and George
town, in the District OF Columbia. or within
said District within one mile of the bounda-
ries of said cities TO bet, gamble, or make
books or pools on the result OF any trotting
race or running race of horses. or boat race,
or race of any kind, or on any election or any
contest Of any kind, or game of baseball
''Sec. 2. That any person or association of
persons violating the provisions OF this act
shall be fined not exceeding $500, or be i'm
prisoned not more than ninety days, or both,
at the discretion Of the court.
Approved March 2, 1891. -
Attorney Davis argued that this law re-
pealed the one Of 1888, and the defendant
could not be held because the Benning's
course was beyond the One-mile limit. Also
that while the 1888 law provided pententiary
sentence the law of 1891 made the punish
ment Imprisonment in the common Jail. II
both Jaws were in force, as contended by
Prosecutor Mullowney. the effect vas an IN
heard Of mixing OF penalties.
Mr. Mullowney called the courts attention
10 Judge Coles decision last winter in the
case of the Ivy City bookmakers, in which he
held that the law of 1888 was NOT repealed by
the act of 1891. The prosecuting attorney
eoutended, therefore, that Mr.. Miller vio-
lated the first law, as he claimed that pool
selling was setting up a gaming table within
the meaning of the act.
Judge Miller continued the hearing until
Saturday. in order that he might more fully
examine Judge Coles decision and other au-
thOritles.
