toes abound in full force, the COWS
are sure to suffer more than in very
cold weather, and the milk supply
will be cut short.
Some have an idea that when cows
stand in water during the day, us
they will when insects annoy them,
the water absorbs the milk. The
fact is that, while thus seeking COM
fort, they are spending their time
doing noting, while they should be
at work eating in the pasture.
One great trouble in making fine
butter is to know it when you see it.
Every woman is good Judge of but
ter and babies; at least she thinks
she is when her own are under con-
sideration, but if babies, like butter,
were sold in the market, she would
be surprised to see how her taste diff
fers from that of her buyers.
No under ground room was ever
yet fit for human being or a brute
to inhabit, nor any more fit to keep
milk in. If to be used before suit
able room can be built above ground =,
cellar should be cleared of every
vestige of vegetable matter, disin-
fected with lime and plaster and the
walls thoroughly whitewashed.
Neither guessing nor measuring
the cream will truly show the fat
Unless milk is tested, those who
breed and feed to make richer milk
lose part of what rightly belongs to
them if they take their product to a
creamery which does not use a
Badcock tester, and thus accurately
regulate values for butter pro-
duction.
The average of all yearlings of
milking stock in the country to-day
will hardly reach $50 pounds, where
as they should reach twice that.
The cry of not having milk to spare
may hold good where milk is sold,
but not if it is made into butter or
cheese. Skim milk, with proper
additions, will make calves grow at
their best.
Talk as we please, the Holstein-
Friesian COW has not an equal for
butter cheese or milk today, and the
marvellous results attained have sur
prised the breeders themselves. For
beef, if placed upon the market at
two years old, they are equal to any
of the beef breeds, and they certainly
do not need wet nurse to raise
their young.

Agriculture.

An English scientist finds that
when potatoes are cooked without
removing their skins they lose only
three per cent. of their nutritive
quality through extraction of their
juices. When the skins were re-
moved before boiling the loss was IA
per cent. which makes the latter
way a very wasteful one.
Persistent work pays in net profit
and satisfaction. Weeds eat up so
much plant food, and drink up so
much water in dry time; and yet
they can be kept down so cheaply
with mower and smoothing harrow
and weeder Il We use our brains IL
the use of good management.
Three methods are practiced to
preserve the fertility of the soil, to.
wit: Rotation of crops, application
of commercial fertilizers and the use
of barn yard manures. Though al
three are often blended, the first is
of primary Importance, as it costs
nothing but labor of mind in deter
mining the relative value of crops
produced and the condition in which
the soil is left.
Luxuriant crops are always pro
duced upon new land where The
woods have been burned over. Tht
power of potash in ashes to liberat,
nitrogen from the humus in the sol
is sufficient to make ashes of grea
value. Rank, rich soil, full of vege
table matter, will produce crop
much better after an application o
wood ashes than if supplied with {
good dressing manure.
Barn yard manure increases tn
wood growth of nearly all frui
trees, while potash tends to increas
the fruit growth. The former cal
not be allowed to suffer at the ex
pense of the vitality of the tree
Without new yearly wood growth
the prospect of fruit woula be great
ly reduced. q.
Too often is field of the smalle
grains grown without a seeding o
clover or grass seed. Because fell
is to be plowed the following fall o
spring it is a mistake to suppose tina
what growth the grass could max

Major H. G. McDowell's favorite
horse King Rene, died at Ashland

Sunday evening. He was horse of
magnificent type, and frequent
winner in show rings. Bred at Wood

sired by Belmont, dam Blandina

Chief; grandam Burch Mare dam
of Rosalind, 2.21A), by Brown Pilot
He had a record of 2.3019, but was
never campaigned very much. AS
a sire he would have been much
greater had he not been over

MEN AND HORSES.

Patsy D., by Masker, the green
mare that surprised every one at
the Fourth of July races last year, is
now in the Hurricane Stock Farm
string.
We have been asked by several
horsemen if Nashville would have
trotting meeting this year, as pub
lished in several papers. We have
it from good authority that the
Cumberland Park people will not
give a meeting this year, but will
give big one in 1897.
Mr.. R. f. Denham reports the
horses in his stable as being in good
shape, with several very fattering
prospects in the green division.
The people are ripe in this part of
the moral vineyard for some good
harness racing, and we sincerely
hope they will not be disappointed
at the meeting at South Side Park
on the Fourth.

Robert J. has worked mile in 2:05,

Selah!
Isn't it strange that a stallion
owner cannot see any defects in the
get of his own horse?
Alex Mckay was mot in it" with
two of his horses last week at Sid
ney, Ohio. StarpleX and Claud
were both behind the money. He
was more fortunate, however, with
Satin Slippers, who captured the
first, second and fifth heats and
race in the 2:20 trot, the best time
being 2:17A. Mr.. Mckay reports
his horses as being a little off, and
will rest for few days before start
ing on the mile track.
