Over 500 Pounds of Butter per Cow

NY COWS averaged 275 pounds OF but
ter each in the year 1894, the next year
$50 pounds, in 1893 made 3e7 pounds and
last year averaged 52l pounds OF butter
per head for nine cows. My dairy was
begun in 1884 blood Jersey COW bred TO
a thoroughbred bull, and l raised the
beifers until 1891. That year l began
feeding part of the milk back to the cows;
with small grain ration, and sowed
corn in it's season. This worked so we'll
that the next year fed all the milk back
to the COWS except in June, when no grain
or milk was fed, and the grain ration was
increased over the previous year, and the

Years some of the stock were heiters; the

at noon, kept until milking time, ted, and
then allowed to feed about an hour, and
then put in the yard until morning. I'm

Wolves in Cattle.

These insects were noticed in the Feb
ruary iseue of the Cultivator, for las,
year, but attetion is called to them at this
time, rs the month in which treatment
should be given. By this time the wolves
may be easily found along the backs OF
the cattle, but in few weeks they will
come out and drop to the ground, to form
pupR, and, after q short time, will come
forth as flies. Treatment consists OF
pressing the grubs out of their holes and
destroying them. Take both thumbs and
press firmly on the sides of hole, and in
. moment out will come the grub. Now
destroy it by crushing, or else it may
simply 60 into the ground and pupate,
and the object of the treatment to lessen
the number of flies will be lost.-Sonth.

Cost OF Production.

The price of all farm products seems
to have reached the lowest point possible
and yet the tendency seems downward
instead of upward. AS we are not pres
pared to give up our lands and enter into
different work, it is important that we
study the cost of each crop, and, by every
method Within our reach endeavor to
reduce this to the lowest possible figure.
This ground has been travelled over again
and again by agricultural writer's, and
some wide awake farmers have demon.
strated what can be done by careful
concentration Of all agricultural forces,
but it can not be too often repeated that
the man who succeeds best in times of
agricultural depression is he who most
accurately adjusts his expenditures, who
counts every dollar invested, and watches
the numerous small "leaks" which have
heretofore drained our resources. AS o
class, we are too careless of those minor
expenses and those small every day in-
accuracies which creep into even our "best
laid plans" When the margin of profit
on most farm products is small, we cannot
allow a long line of expenses to run up
against each crop without suffering SO.
rious loss We should study how to get
the biggest returns for the smallest out
lay. It is almost needless to indicate to
thoughtful men that in order to accom-
plish this, we must draw in our lines, and
80 manage as tc produce on fewer acres
the crops which have heretofore drawn
upon a larger area.
AS an illustration, we will take the
following figures on the cost of wheat
production from the Kansas State Board
of Agriculture. Coming from this source
and based on actual facts they are reliable:
A yield of ten bushels to the acre cost
SCI cents per busheI; fifteen bushels cost
48 cents per bushel; twenty bushels, 35
4>5 cents per busheI; twenty-five bushels,
81 cents; thirty bushels, 27 cents. .thirty>
five bushels, 26 cents.
The report of the Secretary of Agri-
culture for 1893 (I haven't the later ones
before me, but this will do as an illustra,
tlon) shows that the average cost of the
corn crop was $ll.7l per acre, at an aver
age production of 10 bushels per acre. In
a recent contest it was shown that with
extraordinary effort, 175 bushels may be
produced on one acre. This is, of course
a phenomenal crop; but if, as has been
shown, fifty bushels can be produced at
the same cost as the usual average of 19
bushels, what folly to go on producing
19 bushels per acre on 20 acres, when We
may produce fifty bushels per acre on ten
acres, or even on eight acres at the same
cost, The principle which applies in
both these cases, namely, q maximum
crop at a minimum cost, bears with equal
force on the production of cotton, our
great staple crop.-Southern CultiUator.

some green stuff Give cut clover hay,
either dry or steamed, mixed with the
mash, for breakfast; the hens relish it,
anu it is an excellent egg food And
don't forget the cut green bone. Unless
you have running water, or time enough
to watch and see when they have drunk
and empty the water dishes, give the
water warm so it will not freeze 80 quickly.
The water dishes should be emptied
every night. Renew the nests often,
Clean out tie droppings as often rs you
can; never let them accumulate more
than q week. Use absorbents, and keep
the manure in dry place until ready
for use.
B Onions which were sown in cold
frames are now ready for transplanting.
; Draw them carefully from the bed, trim
off roots and tops, and set about eight to
ten inches apart. They require rich,
light land, which has been thoroughly
and deeply plowed or spaded, then har-
rowed and pulverized. In cultivating, the
surface should merely be stirred to keep
down weeds and conserve moisture; and
care should be exercised to work the
earth away from rather than towards the
growing bulbs. If intended for market,
it is found more profitable to sell as they
attain sufficient size, rather than wait
until later, when the entire crop is fully
matured. 1t has also been demonstrated
that medium size rather than very large
bulbs meet with readiest sale. A profit,
able crop of onions may also be grown
from seed sown now. The soil should be
very highly enriched and finely pulver-
lied, and the seed, three to four pounds
to the acre, sown thiDly in very shallow
drills, about fifteen inches apart. As they
attain their growth, thin by degrees to .
stand" that is, with plant about every
three inches in the row. Stir the surface
