Good Reasons for DairyIpp.

At a Farmers institute in Michigan
recently dairyman gave the follow.
ing reasons for his faith:
/. 1t is the business upon the farm
that permits the most absolute con.
troll over conditions of production and
distribution of product, hence the most
profitable.
2. 1t is the highest art of farming,
because it combines all other lines and
gives greater opportunity for executive
and manufacturing skill.
3. 1t is most free from irresponsible
and destructive competition by neces.
sity of its character and by the person
al equation of the individual product.
4. 1t is more exact line of produc.
ton, permitting gross receipts to be
forecast with greater exactness; hence
the greater possibilities of increasing
net receipts, either by lowering ex.
penses or increasing volume of product.
5. 1t permits the employment of la
Dor at the season of the year when
farm labor is the cheapest, If winter
dairying is followed.
6. OF all the products sold from the
farm, butter takes the least fertility
and restores the greatest amount to
the farm, and it is we'll known that
the most fertile sections of the coun-
try are where butter farming Is fol.

The Alarm Clock He Carried wouldn't
Stop Ringing.
An engraver, who always uses d
clock to time his work at his place of
business, was the victim of a practical
joke the other evening.
For some reason it was necessary to
take this clock home on a car, and his
brother fixed it so the alarm would
sound during the trip.
The car was going along smoothly
with the man standing in quite
prominent place when the alarm
sounded.
The passengers, trying to locate the
noise, found that it originated in an
innocent little package held in the
gentleman's hand, but the scene
reached its height when the man be-
came frantic in his endeavors to hide
the timepiece either in his coat-pocket
or inside his vest.
Some one from an obscure corner re-
marked that it was time to get up for
breakfast.

Bran ms the Foremost Food for the Invalid
Equine
Bran stands decidedly foremost a.
the food most generally in use for the
invalid horse, says an editor, 1t acts
as n laxative, is frequently tempting
to the appetite, and easy of digestion.
There is no part of the general treat
ment more universal than Offering
this substance as change of food.

Of cold or fever, warm bran mash is

sages, 1t is substitute for
the more stimulating diet he is
accustomed to, and gently pro-
notes the activity of the digestive APP
paratus; it is also convenient medi-
um for the giving of certain simple
remedies. When it is necessary to adj
minister purgative medicine, bran
mash or two renders the bowels more
susceptible of its action, and smaller
drug is therefore required to produce
the desired effect. Bran mashes may
be given hot or cold-cold, are per-
haps, quite as grateful TO the horse
but the nibbling Of the hot mash in
catarrhal affections is particularly
beneficial from the necessary inhala-
ton Of the steam. OF ali the roots with
which horses are tempted, the carrot,
rs rule, is the favorite, and per-
haps the most beneficial. II is said to
be somewhat diuretic in its effect, and
to exercise a salubrious influence on
the skin. Certain it is that sick
horse may be coaxed into eating car
rot when disinclined to partake OF
other nourishment, with the greatest
beneficial results. For the ailing horse
| carrots are most valuable as an article
of diet, and q few may be given with
advantage to horse in healthy con
dition.
Oatmeal is extremely nutritious, and
as a food for the convalcscent horse is
most valuable; the bruising process the
grain has undergone breaks the hush
and renders it more easily acted upor
by the digestive organs. 1t is usually
given in the form of cruel, and il

HERE AND THERE.

DO not expect that corn planted
upon wet, undrained land can hold its
own.
There are great quantities of beans
raised in this country, but not enough
to supply the demand.
"A mixture of oats and COW peas,
ground together, forms an excellent
food for stock Of all kinds. We do not
use as much peas as we ought, either
for animal or human food.
AS people become more civilized.
and cultivate the intellect more they
will eat less grease and more lean flesh
and vegetables and fruits. Then it will
become necessary for beef producers,
mutton producers and pork producers
to govern themselves accordingly.
The first blowing of corn is the
most important, and 1t should be done
with good judgment and care. Suisse.
quent plowings should be directed
mainly to keeping the surface soil
loose and clear of weeds and grass,
and should not be deep enough to dis.
turb the feeding roots of the plant.
We believe in the efficacy Of per.
sistent industry, but many farmers
work so hard with their hands that
they have neither time nor inclination
to do much thinking, and the result ia,
that much OF the work is done at the
wrong time, at the wrong place, or In
the wrong way.
Night work is more trying to q
horse than human. The man can, to
some extent, obviate the bad effects OF
late hours by various articles; the
horse can not. He may be as reason.
able, but he is not as resourceful as his
master.
1t is estimated by the British con
sui at Buenos Ayres that the cost OF
producing bushel of wheat in Argen.
tina does not exceed thirteen cents.
The yield ranges from twelve to fifteen
bushels per acre, and the land can be
had for an annual rectal OF forty cents

No milking machine has yet been
invented which keeps the COW up to
her flow of milk like the hands. AS

COW ceases to give her usual quantity
of milk so, whatever is gained by ma
chine milking is counterbalanced by
the loss in injury to the COW.

Certainly my fathers stable was
sight for sore eyes. A series of
rectangular holes in the wall of the
courtyard formed the managers, to
VIII lch the horses were secured by head
ropes; the heels of each animal were
also fastened by ropes of black camel's
hair to big iron pin driven into the
ground behind 1t. Each of them was
covered by n light wooden sheet, and
they were all eating away as though
for dear life, 1t being early summer,
when, rs my father informed me, all
horses are fatteped on grass for a
couple of months, and do little or no
work.
There was great heap of freshly
cut green barley, and boy was busily
occupied in cutting this into pieces
some threeinches long by means of a
sort of saw-edged sickle, AS soon rs a
horse had emptied it's manger it would
look around at the head groom, who
was seated on brick platform in the
middle of the stable yard, and neigh;
then the head groom would address 1T
by its name, and say atfectionately:
eyes, my soul, you shall be attended
to immediately;" then he would call to
second boy, who would fill the ami
mails Manager with the freshly-cut
green barley grass.
This goes on all day and all night,
Madge," said my father, with laugh;
none OF these animals get any grain,
and they couldn't grind it If they did,
for their teeth are temporarily
blunted by the perpetual MUNICH
ing of the green barley stalks.
Each horse will eat mule load of it in
the twenty hours, and they are all
as fat as pigs, as you shall see. Now
is the horses annual holiday" and
then, by my fathers orders, the beau.
tiful creatures were stripped one after
the other, and / confess that l had
never seen horses SO fat or with such
shiny coats before But not one OF
them stopped eating for an instant,
and the long tails never ceased switch
ing and twirling and brushing Off the
flies in scientific manner They
never cut horses tails in Persia, they
would consider it cruel; and the long

A year ago farmer, living near this
city, had splendid grade of Jersey
heller, two years old, and was giving
IS pounds of good rich milk a day. lie
was offered $50 for her and sold her.
In group of farmers conversing on
the fact, all but one agreed that the
owner could not afford TO keep COW
worth rs much money as he got for
the beifer. One man dlssented and
put the question before them in the
following sound shape;
you can say he can't afford to keep
such COW, even though he is a dairy
man, for the reason that he is poor
man. According to my mind he will
never be anything else than poor
man as long as he pursues that poll
cy. The cows he generally has,
just about pay for their keeping, aud
they are worth say $50 to $40 apiece.
Here is COW that will give him n
profit of $40 year, above the cost OF
keeping. He works hard all the year,
and dances attendance on these poor
cows just for the fun of the thing, and
he must keep right along in the same
silly rut, because he is n poor man.
Half the number Of cows he now keeps,
if they were as good as the heifer he
sold, would make him a handsome
profit and help make him n rich man.
Your doctrine teaches that a poor
man should not show good business
sense because he is poor, and so far
can see yours is very popular doc
trine. Southern Farm.

PEAS BETWEEN CORN ROWS.
A Valuable Subsidiary Crop That Deserves
More Attention.


More Attention.
If the farmers of the south would
universally adopt the plan of planting
or sowing peas between the rows of
corn, a valuable subsidiary crop would
result and the fertility of the soil be
better maintained by the protection
afforded by the vines from injurious
evaporation and washing, and by the
vegetable matter thus restored for the
amelioration of the physical condition
of the soil, and amendment of the sup
ply of plant food available for succeed
ing crops.
If the rows are four or more feet
apart, upon comparatively thin land
the best plan is to plant row of peas
at the second blowing between the
rows. The third blowing will then
cultivate both peas and corn. If a
running variety ofpeas is thus planted
the vines will completely cover the
ground before frost, and produce from
four to eight bushels of peas per acre.
These may either be gathered and
stored for winter feeding or may be
depastured by stock in the fall. In
the latter case they will be the means
OF carrying the stock into winter
quarters in fine condition, If they are
eaten by store stock, or those intended
for slaughter may be fattened upon
them.
Some prefer to drop the peas either
by the side Of the corn at the second
blowing or between the hills in the
row. If the rows are sufficiently wide
land they should be upon thin uplands)
it is best to plant between the rows. If
the land is reasonably fertile the peas
may be sown broadcast before the
plows at the second plowing-one
bushel per acre. In this case no fur
ther cultivation of the corn will be
necessary, since the peas will shade out
other vegetation, except perhaps chick
en- corn.
Since the corn roots occupy the land
quite fully before the peas come up,
they do not make rapid growth until
the corn approximates maturity, when
they develop very rapidly and soon oc-
cupy the ground.
Aswe cultivate, the crop of peas costs
nothing except one furrow in which to
plant them and the seed. In advance
the scrapes we open shallow furrow
| in the centers between the rows, drop
the seed and cover with the scrapes in
cultivating the corn. Try part Of
your corn crop in peas, and note the
benefit to the land as shown in the
crop which follows. Southern Farm

To Eradicate Bermuda Grass.

1t may be of interest to you and a
benefit to some of your subscribers to
know of simple way to eradicate
Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon),
which we incidentally found out last
summer. 1--WE had piece of land three
acres in area, which for eight years
had been covered with tough Ber-
muda grass sod. Being near the sta
BILE, we decided to sow it with corn, to
cut green in midsummer for the cattle
when the pastures began to get short.
We plowed in April, and every foot Of
the furrow the pillow had to tear and
rip its way through the strong,
wiry roots. We sowed the corn
quite thiclsly. 1t came up well
and so did the Bermuda grass,
seemingly determined to hold the
fort against it's new enemy. When
the corn was about four or five feet
high, we began TO think the wire grass
would have a hard time of it, but it did

Kitchen OF French Restaurant.
A man who prides himself upon his
knowledge of cookery complained the
other night Of dish that was served
to him in his favoritc restaurant. The
French waiter summoned the French
proprietor, and the latter offered to
make the dish so that 1t would satisfy.
The gentleman waited half an hour
while the second experiment was
made, but the result was no more sat
isfactory than the first. There was a
vast amount of apologizing and shout

tor and waiter, but neither seemed
able to comprehend the cause of the
patrons satisfaction. Two friends
Of the kicker smiled Mt his discomfit-
ure, and made unpleasant illusions to
his inability to get what he demanded.
They also suggested that the failure
was due to him rather than to the res
taurant, That made him determined
to prove the correctness of his posi-
tton.

proprietor, land will show him how
to make this properly"
The proprietor apologized for being
unable to produce the chef, explaining
that he was so busy in the kitchen
that he could not leave.
"Well, then, will go to him." said
the gentleman, and jumping up from
the table he rushed down the stairs
leading to the kitchen.
The proprietor and waiter both
started at this, and jabbered at each
other furiously. The former was evil

ing Both appeared in danger of dis
locating their shoulders. Finally the
proprietor walked away, looking very
much annoyed. The waiter stood aside
with a scared look on his face. Pres
emily the gentleman reappeared and
resumed his seat at the table. He
looked very solemn, but there was
twinkle in his eyes. The waiter
watched him furtively, but moth
ing was said until one of
the other diners, who recognized
that the walters presence was ex-
erting a restraining influence on his
friend, dispatched him in search OF
some pickles. Then the kicker leaned
back in his chair and laughed deeply
