The Danish butter is invariably
packed in barrels, says Prof. George
son in his report on the dairy indus
try in Denmark. These may vary in
size according to the demand OF the
same pattern. The most usual size is
one which will contain an English

size is one not uniform These bar
rels are usually manufactured on the
farm where they are to be used, the

wooden mallet it is pressed firmly

Swimming Cavalry.

Some very interesting exercises in
swimming cavalry took place lately on
the Cabul river at Peshawur. Tho
Thirteenth d. C. o. Bengal lancers
have been practicing their horses in u
large tank in their lines and on the
river for some time. One squadron
took cover along the river bank and
kept up steady fire to protect the
passage OF the other squadron. who
placed their arms, accoutrements, and
clothes in large country boats. and
conducted their horses into the water.
Some horses seemed to thoroughly en-
Joy themselves in the water; others be-
came unmanageable through fear.
However, the opposite bank was
reached and war paint resumed, and
the squadron was with most creditable
rapidity taking measures to protect
theircomrades, crossed In like manner.

Hens or Cows.

A contemporary has the following:

COW is worth say $40 Invest this
amount in good high-claas hens, say
brown Leghorns, and it will pay fol
forty at least. and they ought to b.
good ones at that price. With out go
ing into details we will say that it hs,
been proven time and again that thei,
droppings will more than pay for the
time spent in caring for them, but we
will call it an even thing. Forty Leg
horn hens will produce in one year

to begin moderately. for keeping a

says that in cultivating it, they run
the rows thirty inches apart The
roots are planted nine inches apart in
the rows The covering is an
easy matter and one that consumes
little time The farmer simply
runs a plow along and covers
the roots, SO that the crowns
are little below the surface
cover too deep. After the ground is
settled about the plant. and the plant
has had time to partly develop, irriga-
tion begins, and the crop is irrigated
three or four times during the season.
After each irrigation the cultivator is
put to work. Students OF the plant and
Its requirements believe that it is
better not to irrigate much, as the
plant by nature is fitted to an arid
region and consequently is benefited
by certain amount of drouth. Its
actual water requirements are small
One important fact connected with
the cultivation of this plant is that it
can be planted at any season of the
year and dug at any season. Thus it
is seen to be plant that waits upon
the convenience of man. It does not
call loudly for his attention when he
is busy with some other crop, that per-
chance can not brook delay. Itmakes
. rapid growth. If it be planted in
the fall it is ready to dig in ten
months or it can be left in the ground
for two or three years. AT the
end of ten months or year
it will produce, SO growers claim,
from eight to twenty tons per acre.
An average crop is about ten tons to
the acre the first year. If it be left in
the ground for another year before
being harvested the yield is about
eighteen tons to the acre For the
third year, if the crop be not gath
cred before, there is an increase in
the size OF the tubers, but it is not
proportionately SO great as during
the first two years. At the end of
three years the crop must be harvest
ed or the tubers will become hard and
worthless. 1t is regarded more profit
able to harvest the crop at the end of
the second year. During its period
of growth the plant, in its native
state at least, dies down twice a year.
But during this time It is claimed
that the proportion of tannin in
creases, probably by chemical action.
The natural habitat of the plant
seems to be in southwestern New
Mexico. This is on high tableland,
the altitude above the sea being about
$500 feet. 1t should be mentioned
that this crop is admirably adapted to
be grown on farm devoted to diver
sified agriculture, since it leaves
great deal of spare time that may be
given to other classes of farm product.
