CRUELTY OF CHECKING

In sitting, walking, or standing,
to maintain n position very long, and
that a frequent change of position is
equivalent to resting. 1t would be com
paratively easy to move the hand up
or down, which could be done almost
indefinitely without much incOnveni
ence; but to hold it in one position per
pendicularly or horizontally, would
soon become extremely tiresome and
difficult; in fact, so much so that it
would be impossible to hold it out hor-
izontally longer than a few minutes.
a French subordinate officer, as a pun,
ishment, marched his soldiers all day
without allowing them the regulation
freedom of changing the position of
their arms, which SO injured them that
it was regarded sufficient cause for in
f'cting upon him the penalty of death.
Now, checking horses, and forcing
them to hold their heads unnaturally
high and keeping them thus arbitrarily
in a fixed position, frf qIently all day,
while perhaps being rapidly driven or
worked hard, Prof. Wagner say must
be almost equally trying and painful
for them to bear, aud in connection
with the use of binders is so much OF
a fault that it cannot but be regarded
as the greatest ingratitude and crime
to so faithful and useful a servant.

LIVE STOCK.


Do not attempt to keep any more
stock than you have hay for.
Rye if fed too long to swine cause
itching of the skin and the hogs tire
of it.
We should not feed bran to very
young pigs, we would say to an in
quirer.
The hog that does not have plenty of
good water in summer, cannot do its
best.
Prof. Shaw prefers shorts to oats for
pig feeding, on the ground of economy.
Is buckwheat good for swine9 we are
asked. Yes, but it should be fed with
other foods.
One of our subscribers writes us from
Iowa: II have had two years expert
ence in feeding peas to swine, and find
them an unsurpassed food, especially
for pigs"
The veterinary surgeon, az a rule, is
about as uncomfortable as a side with
a thorn in it and crochety as an old
maid with the dyspepsia, all because
he is guilty of the small vice of jealousy
and the still smaller vice Of egotism.
There are good, competent veterina-
rians, but there are others whose
knowledge consists principally Of how
to kick.
This is what a swine breeder says
about a remedy for lice on swine:
Crude carbolic acid and lard, equal
parts; apply on the neck, around the
ears, back of the forelegs, on the back
part of the hams, in the TANKS and
along the back Coal oil and lard or
coal oil and linseed oil, equal parts,
applied to the same parts of the animal
just mentioned. In addition to the ap
plication to the animal, the sleeping
quarters should be thoroughly sprink-
led several times with coal oil or the
crude carbolic acid and water.

r FEEDERS.

Before the New York Dairyman's AS
ISOLATION Fl. II. Matteson said: Com
ing along up here to-day I came by a
herd of cattle that I know. That man
sold everything he had and put a pile
of money into a herd of cattle, and was
calculating to roll the shekels into his
Golfers right along. Recently I talked
with him, and he said, 4 never saw a
herd so poor in all my life 1t was then
about eight o'clock in the morning
and that man had these cattle out in
the mud, browning. He had the breed
ing, but had forgotten the feeding and
the care of these cattle; and he is con
demning to-day the man who talked
about breeding stock. And he said, i
had rather have the old scrub dairy
that I had on the farm five years ago
than to have two like this That is
why we are condemned and called
cranks, because we are asking for just
as much skill and care in the feeding as
in the breeding of the cattle in order to
reach a certain point. Then, there is
no better business in the world"

CORN FOR

We are asked the following questions:
Should not differently maturing corn
be planted for ensiIage? What is the
difference in value between corn with
out ears and corn with ears where
silaged2 DIR. Fl. B. Gurler says that he
planted both cid and ensilage corn.
He planted the field corn in order to
have something that would cure early {;
two varieties of common field corn, ard
the ensilage. The idea was to have it
ripen along to pretty near the same
stage of maturity to put it into the silo,
which you can't do if you plant all one
variety, some will be too early and
some too late. He had some corn that
didn't produce any ears that grew on
poor ground and he had some that
grew on rich ground, and there Yves
quite an amount of corn on il. Ii
husked about 80 or so bushels of corn
to the acre. When he changed, in
working down a compartment Of his
silo, from one kind to the other, he
found a change in the milk. He finally
opened a new pit in the silo, and came
drst upon this corn that had pract!c ally
no ears on it. He had been feeding
out of the bottom of another pit where
he had ensilage with quite a large
amount of corn, and his COWS dropped
OFF a hundred pounds of milk, the s.
cows. This will give an idea of the
difference in value between corn with
ears and corn without.

THE DAIRY.
DAIRY DOTS.

Dairying is a combining business, but
what good, live business, is not confin-
ing7
It is not good COWS that are the first
essential of the successful dairy, but
good brains and industry.
Unless the milk cans are kept scru-
pulously clean, the quality of both but
ter and cheese will be injured.
There is an element of social charm
In dairying that the grain farmer can
not furnish. There is life in the dairy
farm the year round.
The consumer who buys butterine
because it is cheap would show wisdom
by buying genuine butter and spread
ing it a little thinner.
The young man who becomes a COM
petent butter maker is informed that
there is a future for him. There is a
demand for good butter makers.
A writer amrms that dairying is
conclusive to good morals. That is
likely, we think. The COW can teach
many men morals, religion and man
ners.
1t is not exceedingly high prices for
butter-for high prices always limit
consumption-that the butter maker
wants, but a good, reasonable, profit
able steady price.
Whatever substitute for milk may
be adopted for feeding calves, it should
be liquid, easily digeetible, fed warm
and as nearly like the composition of
milk as possible.
There is room for the increase of the
dairy throughout the middle and
further West. Every farm that is
especially suited to the business should
be converted into a dairy farm.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1895-09-17

kind for any kind of stock is to have
them wholesome; and another import
ant essential is to have it palatable. In
choosing salt to use in the dairy care
must be taken to have only that OF the
best quality. While rock salt is prob
ably the best and cheapest that can be
used for the stock to eat, only the finest
and purest should be used in the max
ing of the butter and cheese where IL
must be incorporated with or in % them
Salt deposits in a crude state are
or less impregnated with mineral I'M
purities that in many cases are nlgniy
detrimental to the saline keeping quar-
ties.
The differences in the cost is so small
that in all cases it will prove a good
&c ,nomv to use nothing but n Oest
ard then TO take all reasonable care to
keep clean and pure. Keep salt where
the COWS can help themselves daily IN
order to maintain the best health, n
use only the purest and best salt IN d
dairy in order to maintain the best
quality of product.

ing and the manner in which he has
been kept and should receive consider
abIe attention. Such a hog, with a
nedipree showing that his parents and
remote ancestors we're all we'll bred
and registered, will give satisfaction at
the head of any herd. Breeders who
keep I'D with the times cannot afford
70 raise anything but the very best,
although such hogs are generally too
high priced for the average farmer. A
pig with good feeding qualities and
possessing a few of the fancy points
will answer his purpose fairly well.
cannot afford to buy a poor hog
because he is cheap. A few
dollars extra invested in a good boar
will be more than repaid by the super
ior quality of his pigs and the larger re-
turns which they will yield when
placed on the market. Many are in
the habit of putting off buying until
most of the best pigs have been dis
posed of and nine chances in ten they
are obliged to purchase whatever is of
ferad.

SELEC TING A BOAR FOR BRRFD.
ING,

There are a few general rules to be
observed in selecting a boar and vrhan
writing to a breeder they should be
stated. Toe hog should possess perfect
symmetry, and share in a marked de-
gree the leading characteristics of his
breed. The head should be fine with
broad jowl and short face indicating
aptitude to tatten. Let the back be
square and level and the thickness of
the body at the shoulders, loins and
hams be equal. The hams and shout
ders should extend well down and be
supported by short, clean limbs. The
quality and condition of the hair will
tell a great deal concerning the breed

Just One Hundred Years Ago He Saw the

Correspondence of the Progressiv g Farmer.
To Colonel Campbell:
It is true that a party has risen up
among Us, or rather has come among
us, which is endeavoring to separate
us from ell family connection with
France, to unite our destinies with
those Of Great Britain, and to assimi
late cur government to theirs. Our
lenity in permitting the return of the
old to rise, gave tho first body to this
party. These have been increased by
large importations Of British merchants
and factors, by American merchants
dealing on British capital and by stock
dealers and banking companies who,
by the aid of O paper system, are en-
r1chIng themselves to the ruin of our
country, and sgaying Their government
by the possession of the printing nresses
which their wealth commands, and by
other e not alwa5s honorable to
the character OF our countrvmen
Hitherto, their influence and their svs-
tenn have been Irresistible, and they
nave raised up an executive power
which Is too strong for the legislature.
But L Halter myself they have passed
their zenith. The people, while these
things were doing, were lulled into rest
and security from a cause which no
longer exists. No prepossessions now
Will shut their ears to truth. They be

were steering during their sIumbers.

THE cows.

Editor Farmers Voice:-Scatter
salt in the cow pastures or in their feed
boxes once a week or once a fortnight
and you strike their appetites for it,
hit or miss. But keep it where the
creatures can lick it every time they
desire and you are giving an opportun-
ity for nature to gauge the require
ments of the system nor surely than
is possible in any other way. Cows
cannot keep healthy and thrive with
out salt, and it is a positive cruelty to
them to deprive them of a full supply
ana the only sure way Of ascertainiDg
whether or not they have a full supply
oy keeping q supply where they can
stp themselves. Facilities for a con
fooID ana free access to salt should be
