Increase of Creamerles.

The continual increase Of creameries
in every one Of the states adapted to
grazing is sign indicative of progress
on the part of the butter makers. 1t
is estimated that there are now in the
United States more than $4,000 cream
cries. When we consider that all of
these have sprung up within one gen.
GRAFTON, we can appreciate how rapid
has been the advance. The creamery
is the most effective weapon by which
the farmer can reduce the stock of
poor and cheap butter. The home
dairy is very good thing and the
skillful maker of dairy butter can get
a good price for his product, even
higher sometimes than the current
price for best creamery. But there
are myrlads Of farmers that never will
learn to make outer correctly, and for
them the creamery is a salvation.

we grow blue grass with success as 0
part OF our permanent pasturage. We
wish those Of our readers living in
Wisconsin, Iowa and like localities that
have blue grass pastures would report
them. Please stats also whether the
land be low or high, wet or well
drained
The Impression prevails in most OF
our more northern localities that,
though blue grass may be used cxclu-
sively, that is, alone for a pasturage
in Kentucky, 1t will not do to rely too
much on it'further north, but that 1t
should be put In with a number OF other
grasses.
Another point Is that blue grass Will
often drive out other kinds OF grasses.
Is that true Of all attitudes. and II not,
at what ATTITUDES does blue grass sur
render to the more widely disseminated
native grasses. Farmers Review.

to get scarce, and what we did get
were partly covered by yolk of eggs
that had been eaten by the hens. We
soon found that the hens had the habit
very bad, and at first we decided to
kill Off a few of the worst mischief
makers. We disliked to do this, ex-
cept as a last resort. So we tried an
other way, and are pleased to say that
At has proved success. Our hen house
has one large window. We covered this
with a carpet, allowing the lower edge
to be raised in such a way that the
light would fall on the roosts but the
part where the nests were remained in
quite deep shadow. The interior of
the nests were in still deeper gloom,
80 much so that 1t would be quite i'm
possible for the hens to strike the eggs
with sufficient accuracy to break them.
AT first we got the nests too dark, and
the hens could not see to get up into
them. We soon adjusted the shadow to
the degree desired. Other readers Of
the Farmers Review may have trouble
in this way, and If 80, they will prob
ably find this plan of value.-Mary

noraa nraedInr.

In recent Issues of agricultural
papers l have noticed a number of COM
municauons regarding breeding
both In favor Of and against 1t. The
idea seems to prevail that heavy draft
and coach hcrses are 10 the greatest
demand and bring the highest prices
and men who have studied the situa-
ton say that the demand is certain to
Increase faster than the supply es-
pecially Tor several years to come. Any
careful observer will agree with the
men who hold those Views, and Is II
not also true that there Is an ever in
creaslng demand for light horses Of the
right kind. BY that mean road horses,
not n 2:20 or 2;30 horse necessarily, but
a gentleman's driver, horse weighing
from 1.1Oy to possibly 1000 pounds. OF
good conformation, style and action,
not knee action alone. but also hook
such as we find In the Hackney.
In last weeks Issue Of the Farmers
Review, noticed an article written by
an Iowa man. and signed 20. d." In
which he speaks Of the high prices re-
ported from some Chicago sales, and
also Of the low prices farmers are COM
PEELED to take As the editorial re-
mark" states, those horses are not gen.
orally just from the farms.
II we would study the characteristics
Of our ideal horse. whether he be a
draft, coach or road horse, and breed
a mare possessing as many OF these
characteristics as possible, to a good
stallion Of the same type or breed, we
would be reasonably sure Of producing
an animal having more or less OF these
good and desirable qualities. The
trouble with too many farmers Is that
they look at the service fee Of the stall
lion. when that should be a secondary
matter.
Pardon me for relating a little per-
sonal experience. Last May had

D." says, the buyers wanted to buy az
cheaply as possible, but had my price,
which was $3.50 each. sold one to the
dealer at that figure and they sold him
in Chicago to eastern buyers for $3.50.
He was road horse of the style I have
described and weighed 1880 pounds,
and possibly could not trot mile under
31s or 4 minutes. sold the other two
weeks later to a private party at the
same price. They were full brother
and sister, and the latter weighed LBS
pounds.
Their dam was a good road mare. and
she was bred to a stallion whose breed
ing traces back to old Justin Morgan.
He was splendid horse, weighing
about 1900 pounds, and stood at $25.
Many tried to persuade me from breed
ing to him on that account, as they
said there were others just as good for
half the money.--W. O'Brien, in Farm.

The damage done to the sheep inter-
ests by dogs Is beyond comprehension.
The loss annually runs up into the mil
lions. That Is. the direct loss. There
Is another loss, indirect; many farmers
have discontinued keeping sheep en-
tirely from the reason that their losses
have in the past been so large from the
depredations Of dogs that their profits
were swept away. The dog laws passed
have been imperative to a large ex-
tent, while in some states they have en-
countered so much opposition that they
have been repealed after being in force
only few months.
1t seems to us that a dog law might
be passed that would be effective and
yet occasion no great opposition. Peo-
pie will keep dogs. But 1t is not neces-
sary that they should keep large dogs;
that is, dogs large enough to kill a
sheep. A law might be framed taxing
dogs above = certain weight. This
would be putting a premium on small
dogs, and we are Of the opinion that
they would be more fashionable than
at present. The weight could be put
at the point where the sheep industry
would be protected.
1t is pity that the farmers must be
taxed millions of dollars each year in
the way Of dead sheep that the rest of
the community may have their house
hold pets. We would like to ask our
sheep raisers to give their experience
as to sheep-killing dogs, and the weight
at which the dogs become menace to
the sheep industry.

Ignorance an Obstacle.

The greatest obstacle in the improve
ment of the poultry interests is the
general ignorance Of present conditions
and results. There seem to be few
who know what they are doing. Ask
a man how many eggs he got last year,
how much 1t cost to keep the hens, and
so forth, and it is exceedingly rare
that an answer can be secured. The
truth is he cannot tell; hence there is
no probability of improvement. If we
can get people to keeping close
records, we can get them to improve
their flocks. We are glad that some
readers of the Farmers Review are
beginning to take deeper interest in
knowing what results they are getting.

more than half what It would be were
the birds selected, even to the extent
that horses, sheep, cattle and hogs are,
In the kinds Of live stock named there
Is altogether too little selection, but In
our poultry there Is none at all, ex-
cept by the fanciers, and we fear that
even they do not do q great deal In
selecting individual fowls.
We take a flock, and compare them
with another flock. and the flock that
does the best is chosen. Now In the
rejected flock there may be birds that
VIII outlay anything in the successful
flocks, but their good record Is obscured
by the poor records Of their companions
The only way to select the best
breeders Is to have n separate yard for
each fowl keep record Of her eggs
for the first two years, and If she
proves excellent, mate her the third
year and use her eggs for Matching.
This Is troublesome and an expen-
slve method, and will require many
years to select flock OF good layers,
but 1t Is the only correct method. A
flock thus bred would in a number of
years yield so eggs per annum more
than the usual. If the number Of hens
be 100 this would mean 5000 eggs extra
for the year, and the value of these
would be clear profit.

Poultry. House Doors.

In the unprotected entrances to
poultry houses are found many of the
causes of roups and other diseases.
Especially is this true where there are
two entrances, one on each side Of the
hen house, making draft possible. 1t
is a good plan to have an entrance
so constructed that there is some bar
rier to the passage Of the drafts. Some
kind Of vestibule should be con-
structed so that when one door is open
another can be shut, This is especially
desirable in the case Of the larger door.
The pouring in of an immense quantity
of cold air several times a day could be
thus avoided.

Silo for Six Cows-A correspondent
of Hoard's Dairyman having asked
about the expediency Of building a sild
for six cows received the reply that
1t will depend upon circumstances and
that If he is apt to have catching
weather" in haying, or expects to de-
pend upon feeding rather than pastur-
age in summer, silo will be found
very convenient. The trouble would be
that the pit would have to be very mar
row, not more than eight feet in diam
eter. Two such pits, each 16 feet deep,
would probably answer. Larger pits
would expose more surface than six
cows could keep eaten down so as to
prevent waste.

as being to any extent an attempt to

A Stable Butter Market.-At recent

butter said that he hoped the price foA

Of the business the prices should be
