THE DAIRY
FORAGE CROPS.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer
The ever recurring necessity Tor
some sort of a forage crop is becoming
pretty generally recognized, but never
until last season did the writer so fully
learn the possibilities of the soil for
producing fodder.
When the drouth came l had my
usual amount of corn ready for feed
ing, but when the hay crop proved to
be nothing, and straw about as bad, L
saw that something must be done to
bring us more provender.
had a field of three acres in barley
which was very short and light. As
soon as this was ripe I cut it, removed
it from the field and Immediately
turned the ground over and drilled it
to common field corn of the dent vari-
ETY.. My neighbors looked on aghast,
for whoever heard of planting corn at
that time of the year.
When I tell you it was the goth day
of July you will perhaps wonder that
I attempted to grow it, but l Iisked
early frosts and in it went. The pass
ers by watched my corn, tell you, and
man were the remarks made about 1t.
| dragged it over twice and the last
time when it was about six inches high
/ put in the drill and sowed it to winter
rye. The rains came about that time
and how that corn did grow, and a bet
ter color I never saw, a rich, dark
green.
When cutting time came it wasabove
the fence tops and all tasseled out. I
put the binder in and shocked as usual.
When it was thoroughly dry and cured
put it in the barn and nicer feed l
never saw. We commenced feeding it
right away, but it kept good till the
last was gone. Ny rye was somewhat
blighted with rust last fall in this field,
but this spring it is coming OF nicely
and makes good early pasture. | shall
feed it down until time to plant again,
then pillow it under and drill to corn
again. I use either barDyard manure
or else commercial fertilizer in tie
drill. One must not expect a crop
with nothing to feed it on.
1t is much better to drill corn throws
wide enough apart to allow Of cultiva
tion than to broadcast it. There will
be more fodder and of better value for
feed. Every man who keeps stock
should SOW corn to tide yer the dry
weather, for very few farms have suit
fcient ~pasturaGe to ensure enough feed
without it. W. @. lockwood.

Office of Secretary, Washington, D. D.
1t is the desire of this Department
that the Influence Of all employees
should be used, so far as is warranted
by the law, for the purpose Of securing
the humane treatment of animals in
transportation and in the stock yards.
Depriving animals of food and drink
for unusual periods, ard beating and
worrying th"m, are practices calculated
to make the animals feverish ani their
meat unwhOlesome, and should be dis
Countenenced and prevented. You
will, therefore, give such instructions
to your subordjnatcs as will insure
careful treatment of any animals which
they may be called upon to handle, and
as will also lead them to use their il flu
ence for the same end with all other
persons with whom they come in con
tact.
You will please make an investiga
ton Of the manner in which animals
= transported and handled by the
railroad companies and stock yards
which come under your observation,
and make such suggestions. IS msy oc-
cur to you, with 3 view to improving
the service and protecting animals
from undue suffering or cruelty. IN
iured animals which ere evidently sui
fering severe pain should be promptly
reported to the humane societies, unless
the owner or the stock yard company
properly cares for them within q reason

MAKING CHEESE AT HOME.

Rose SeeIye Miller tells in the Ameri
can Cheesemaker how che makes
cheese at home. She says: The opera
ton is so simple that / would like to
tell others how they might go and do
likewise" There need be no elaborate
paraphernalia-just simple utensils
that may be found IN any kitchen, cave
for the cheese hoop, which must of
necessity be secured. This is a hoop
OF galvanized iron with covered wires
at either end. It serves an excellent
purpose and it may be made Of any de-
sired size. Any timer can make one
and the expense is trIfing.
In the first place the milk is all
brought to an even temperature of IS
degrees, by the dairy thermometer
not q degree higher, as when too warm
the cheese is apt to be tough; besides,
the cream will to escape in the
whey more. We have used for setting
the milk from six cows, a copper boiler
and a barrel churn, two utensils,
though of course n would be as we'll,
maybe better. If nice clean tub were on
hand it mightdo, but scrupulous clean
illness must be exercised in all things
For setting the milk the rennet tablets
that may be bought from 4 druggist
are used. The ordinary rennet may be
used if desired, but l am net familiar
with it and do not know the proportion
to use. Fer every hundred pounds Of
milkon Of the small renRet tablets lie
dissolved in water aDdadded to the milk
after it is colored. The coloripg is Of
course optional, but it is commo prac
tice to color cheese. The coloringcomes
in bottles and will go a great way, 8
twenty five cent bottle furnishing col
oring enough for q great many cheeEes.
This must be kept in q cool, dark place.
I have mine in one of the handy mail
ing cases for bottles, made from wood
and lined with cork, with a screw top.
A tin baking powder box or any box to
inclose the bottle will suffice; then put
in the cellar OF as cool a place as you
have. From fifty TO aeventy five drops
per 100 pounds of milk will make a
good color, unless the cows give a very
white milk then o drop per pound will
be needed, After stirring the color in,
add the dissolved rennet and stir thor
oughly. Cover with a cloth and let
stand until we'll set" which will take
from forty to seventy five minutes.
When set solidly, cut with a knife in
Squares about an inch each way. This
will let the whey separate partially
which will take place in a few minutes
When the whey begins to appear, lay
q cloth over the top of the curd anG
with a cup dip very gently. Rough
handling will separate the cream from
