Now, when We start In to hnd -
the truth of the. matter we must gtve
the COWS q good chance. We need nos
expect to make q profit out OF poor
cows, in the first place, nor OUT q
poorly-fed ones, in the secOnd place.
Don't condemn the COWS unless they
are really to blame. Remember.
many a good cow returns her owner
no profit simply because it Is a physi-
cal impOssibility to do so with the
food he supplies her and the care she
receives. 1t is a clear case of give
nothing, get nothing.
Let farmers once apply as strict
business methods to their work as the
merchant does to his, and it will go
far toward strengthening out the tan
gled web Of affairs existing among
many of them. 1t would at least
show them what lines of farming are
best for them to pursue.-E. f. Rock

S1O,OOO,OOO During Last Year.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Postmaster
General Wilson has made his first an
aual report to the president. The re-
ceipts of the postoffice department for
the year ending June 80. 1895. were
SO, III, 900, and the expenditures $780,
100, l72. 1t is gratifying, says the
report. that large portion of the de-
ficiency occurred in the first quarter
of the year, and that revenues are IN
creasing with returning prosperity.
Mr.. Wilson estimates the revenue for
the year ending June so, 1897, 1T
$50, 793, 100, and the expenditures at
s94, OIL, 600. the difference to be made
up by congressional appropriation.
Mr.. Wilson reiterates the necessity
for legislation to punish train wreck
ing and obstruction to mails, urged by
his predecessor, and recommends leg
islation authorizing the use of private
postal cards.

Keeping Of EgEs.

Preservative compounds will keep
eggs for a while, but such eggs will
not be equal to those which are fresh.
and that is where the difficulty is.
Those who wish to preserve eggs can
not buy them for that purpose, as the
different individuals from whom the
eggs are procured know but little re-
garding them, as they are collected
here and there on the farm, and the
fresh, stale and even the spoiled nest
eggs will sometimes get in among
them. If you wish to make q bust
ness Of preserving eggs you must keep
your own hens, so as to know just ex-
actly what you are doing. You should
have no cocks with the hens, as infer
tile eggs will keep three times as long
as those which contain the germs OF
chicks. If they are placed in a cool
cellar, on racks, so that they can be
turned once a day, they will keep bet
ter than If packed in a close barrel or
box, as it has been demonstrated that
q free circulation Of air and turning
the eggs is the proper mode. We do
not advise anyone to try the method
on a large scale. but to get dozen or
fertile eggs and a dozen of infertilt
eggs. lay them on their sides in cool
place, turn them once a day. and then
break an egg from each lot once
month. and you will know exactly
Low long they will Keep.

Don't Give I'm sheep.


Many sheep raisers have become dis
Outraged by the low price Of wool.
OF course. thousands Of sheep were
hurried to the market in various parts
of the country and the price of NUT
ton went down also. Has not this
gone far enough. and in some In
stances, too far? Often there are
sheep pastures which are not Of much
value for anything else. The wool Is
always worth something; mutton Is
good food and always will be and can
not 30 far below beef. The cODsump-
ton will never become less. A writer
in the Maine Farmer pleads for the
retention Of the sheep and the same
argument would often apply In Ohio.
and in other states. We quote from
this writer: 1.-THE reduction OF the
fiOcks that has been going on for two
or three years past has already left
many Of these mountain pastures un-
stocked. A few years thus left and
they will be Overrun with bushes. 1t
then becomes a question Of retaining
or of abandonment. Left to nature,
they are practically valueleSs, SO that
what has been an important adjunct
to the farm under this neglect Is COM
pletely lost. We have in mind 2 large
tract Of these productive hill lands on
which two generations OF occupants
have acquired competence, ana
which is now practically abandoned
and left for nature to hide the marks
of former thrift On these cheap lands
sheep husbandry still may have q
nlace and return liberal rewards to
him who handles it judiciOusly."

In reply to inquiries regarding the
benefits Of sub-soiling. and why it is
necessary to sub-sOil At all, the Prairie
Farmer has this to say: 'Where sub
soiling has been practiced with sue
cess it has often been on farms where
faulty blowing has rendered the
ground cold and unresponsive. Each
farmer has rule for the general
depth of blowing, varying with differ
emit farmers from four to eight inches.
but year after year the ground has
been broken at practically the same
depth. This naturally impacts the bot
tom of the furrOw. and in a few years
a stratum Of 'plOw-pan' Is the result.
This hard layer resists the roots OF
plants and the crop is cut of from the
usual food supply. In dry seasons
this 'plOw-pan' hinders capillary action
and the surface soil rapidly becomes
dry. The remedy is self-suggesting.
Change the depth Of blowing frequent
". and then use the Sub-SOl pillow, or
a sub-soil tine to break this hard layer
The process Of sub-soil blowing mixes
the sub-soil with the lower part OF
the surface soil, thus admitting rain
and air. Particular care should De
taken not to bring the sub-sOil to the
surface, as it Is not In q condition to
furnish plant food; but the sub-soh
should be gradually worked from the
bottom of the furr0w to the SURFACE.
In this manner it becomes thoroughly
aerated and eventually perfect soil.
Then, again, sub sOiling may be prac-
ticed with good results in wet seasons:
BY breaking through the 'plow-pan'
when there is an excess OF water, or
ON a wet piece Of land, we open up
the natural drainage and consequently
rid the surface of an over supply OF
water. When cultivating wet pieces
of land planted to corn the writer has
often noticed that the points of the
shovels would occasionally strike a
hard piece Of ground and with all the
force that could be brought to bear
upon them they could not be made to
penetrate this sort of hard-pan. This
condition Of the ground has been
caused, as stated above, by plowins
the hand at practically the same depth
year after year; and it was also no
ticed that whenever the blowing was
deep enough to break Though this
'plow-pan' that the surface soil dried
out and soon became of better texture
We will be glad to give space in these
columns for a thorough discussion OF
this question. both theory and prac
| fice.

Irri1atlOn the Thing.

Irrigation has come to stay, because
it is a success. 1t has already glad

pathway of many a Western farmer.
1t means a SURF living and a compe-

in connection with your irrigation
plant, these desirable results will
come quicker. 1t will not only add to
the beautiful home, surrounded by
groves. orchards, vineyards and gar
dens. which the transcendent power
and influence of water will make pos
sible, but it will enable you to raise
fish and bring a new food to your Ia
ble-a change of diet which in all ages
snd climes has proved beneficial to
the human family. Do not delay, for
delays are dangerous. Build your
ponds and reservoirs, Gam the draws.

the live stock away from the reser-
voir and keep the water fresh. and
YOU will have a wonderful start to-
wards lettering your condition as

An experienced dairyman writes
that a frequent cause of white specks
in butter is the cream drying on top
so that it does not all churn out. These
cannot all be washed out, but many
Of them can be got rid Of In working
the butter, especially if it is worked
a second time. The second working
may be done in from six to twelve
hours after the first. Another cause
of white specks is too much milk be.
ing SKINNED in with the cream. This
milk settles to the bottom, and il it Is
kept too long and gets too sour form
a hard curd, which is broken up IN
churning and produces the specks.
These being heavier than the butter
can be washed out il the butter is
washed in the new granular form.
The prevention lies in avoiding these
conditions. This trouble is more often
encountered in gathered cream fac
tories. A way to prevent having
specks in such butter Is to strain the
cream when putting it into the churn.
