Slow Progress.

Someone has said that, although
preached 1900 years ago, the Sermon
on the Mount has not yet converted the
whole world, and it is quite as true
that the dairy word, preached by hun
dreds of dairymen, is not fully NEEDED
by the great mass of dairymen. w nile
here and there localities are awake 10
the importance of the best dairy Know
ledge. and are awake TO put THESE
things into practice, and scattered mere
and there are farmers as alert and act
i've if must be admitted that the great
masses are not as yet reached, OF.
reached, are still unheedlng 1t seems
strange that the Wo great and import
ant things, the two that bring the sue
cess to the dairy. a better COW ana q
COW cheaper fed, are too often the very
last things considered. With thousands
high prices present the only solution,
and so men still milk cows on a 5000
and 4OOO-pound milk yield, and feed
them expensive hay, and milk IN the
hot months, and deplore the fact that
dairying is not what it used to De.
Along this very line is another mex
nIainable thing that, as prices go down,
interest in the dairy often lags, and the
milk or cream sent to the factory
shows falling off in not only amount,
but quality and care, when low prices
should bring out every eXertlon posi-
BILE to not only have as much OF more
milk, but that its care should cause II
to be delivered at the factory IN the
finest possible condition. so that the
most fancy goods could be made from
it. To remedy these neglects IS the
work of the patient, ever-teachlng, ev-
er-progressive dairyman. 1t needs line
upon line, precept upon precept, the
story told and retold, and wearying not
in it's repetition.

Stay blythe Cows.

eve do not say that cheese will ever
sell again at % cents and butter at SO
cents per pound, but we do distinctly
remember drawing cheese to the mar
ket in October--the summers make
and selling them at cents and the
butter at cents per pound, and that
is very much below the sums realized
for the same articles now" says the
Practical Farmer "True, it was then
that Australia, Sweden, Denmark and
the Argentine Republic had not been
discovered dairy countries-an
they are competitors now as we'll as
the vast Western country, that now
produces the greater half of our dairy
produce. But up to a. recent period
less than two years-the demand kept
up with the supply. There are just as
many people now and not quite SO
many cows. when the mills start we
believe the pendulum will swing back
a good part of the way and fair prices
Will again obtain, and if the man has
in the meantime shifted around so to
have better cows, has cheapened their
cost Of keep about half, which he can
do, and uses better appliances in man
ufacture, the prices obtained will put
him about where he was before the
drop That is to say, don't sacrifice
good cows to go out of dairying. Stay
in with fewer but greatly better cows
The dairy business cannot be suddenly
doomed if prices should go skyward.
Cows have to be raised, and it takes
three years at the best to do this, and
half of them will be of little value bred
as they would be. With the prices as
they are, cows are the best selling
stock we have, and most in demand.
Cows are selling for full 1893 prices,
and what is conlmendaible about it is
that they are Of the better class, as

If every farmer We're as enthusiastic
on the subject Of good methods on the
farm as he is about having good and
favorable seasons for his farming op-
erations, says the Nebraska Farmer,
there would be a great deal less
misery in the world. One of the phases
of piacticing better methods that very
few farmers get any adequate idea of
is that of making all operations and
transactions of the farm work together
to the one end cf producing big crops
regularly. just as a piece of compli-
Gated machinery has all its parts work
inc in harmony, that the machine may,
without fail, do its work effectually.
ANY crop a farmer may cultivate, or
any kind of live stock he undertakes
TO keep upon the farm, has its relation
to other crops or kinds of stock to be
cultivated and raised. and this very re-
lation is the thing that should deter
mine the extent to which the farmer is
10 90 with his various operations.

Farm Notes

Corn will run out if we fail to make
careful selections each year
One who has used ensilage advises to
begin feeding in snail quantities, and
Increase gradually.
1t is estimated that rusts and SHUTS
cause ali average annual loss of So
00G to the farmers of North Carolina.
The best general system of farming,
says the Texas Farm and Ranch, is
that which consumes the products OF
the soil on the farm where ii is grown.
This means stock farming. No other
system has ever been found Derma-
nently profitable, and no other system
ever enriched natnon.
Corn is the greatest of all silage
crops, though sorghum IS good, and
clover, peas and SOFA beans make fine
Stage. and a mixture of these with
corn very much improves the quality
of the silage But no other crop yields
so large a crop or can be so universally
and so cheaply grown as corn.
A bulletin of the Ohio station tells
how seed oats we're successfully treat
ed by the hot water method in 1885
and 1896, to prevent smut 1t is esti-
mated that Ohio farmers lost not less
than S50O,O00 this year on account of
smut in oats. The crop from untreated
seed at the station showed forty smut
ted heads out of every 100, while the
treated seeds yielded a much larger
crop entirely free from smut.

Milk of any kind is good poultry
food
Warm quarters are essential in win
ter dai1ying.
The less milk cools after settling the
more quickly it sours
Good cream rising means keeping the
milk sweet as long as possible.
We want mich cows neither fat nor
lean, but half way between
1t will not pay to winter a COW that
does not make a good milk showing ON

There is not one cow in fifty but

she had more to eat and drink
A really good dairy COW, as long as
she is giving a good flow of milk, no
matter how well fed, will not get fat.
From this time on cows should be
we'll sheltered at night and ON stormy
days.
Remember that with cows, as with
other stock, q good animal may be
readily spoiled by bad management
The farmer who wants to have good
COWS must raise the calves from their
of good dairy breeds.
Under ordinary conditions cows will
change from day to day in the amount
Of solids in their milk and especially in
the amount of butter fats.
What makes a specific dairy cow the
most profitable is the fact that she
turns her energies in the right direc-
ton.
At this time especially it is much
easier to let cows shrink in their milk
than to persuade them to swell the
milk flow.
While wheat bran is considered ex-
cellent to make cows give large mess
of milk, butter makers claim that it
does not furnish just the right ma
terial alone.
AS food is indispensable for the pro-
duction of rick milk, it only remains to
adjust the rations to the ability Of the
cow to digest it and to run it into
profit.
There are about 1900, 900 cows in
this country, or one to every four in
habitantS; one COW, however, furnishes
the milk, butter and cheese for more
than four persons, as large quantities
of dairy products are exported
One hundred pounds of good milk
contains about the following amounts
of the different constituents Eighty
seven pounds of water, pounds of fat,
5 pounds of milk sugar, 3.3 pounds of
casein and albumen and or pounds Of
mineral matter or salts.

Raising the Heifer Calf.

Fall calves will soon arrive, ana with
them the question what to do with
them. With butter at 10 cents, there
does not seem much reas On for raising
them. but if there is good reason to
believe that the calf will make good
cow. we would hesitate quite Winnie
before we consigned it to the siamDleS.
Even now, if you start out to buy
first-class cow, you will find that that
kind of stock comes relatively mgnef
than any other. There is less prospect
of dairy goods being lower than there
is of any other kind of farm produce,
SAYS National Stockman. We may all
pitch in and put in an extra crop OF po-
tatoeS. and send the price down to be-
low cost; but it takes certain amount
of time to increase the number of COWS
in the country, and these are not the
times that will make the farmer grow
calves where they have been in the
habit of selling them. So we may at
least look for prices to go no lower,
and with :. fair prospect of going lit
tie higher.
But if the calf is not a good one, it
would be better to knock it OH the head
and feed the carcass to the chickens
rather than raise it. for the dairy. 1t
does not cost 5 cents more to raise a
good calf than it does poor one, and
the cow that will make 300 pounds Of
butter year has eaten no more up to
the time she drops her first calf than
the one that will make only 40. There
is not a fortune i'll the dairy business,
in any event. but if we raise calves
from poor cows from which to make
up our future herd, there is a loss.
