Room for Private Diaries.

Private diaries make the best butter.
they are also here to stay, but they must.
be properly conducted, writes F. II.
Pierce of Wisconsin in the Orange Judd
Farmer. The first essential is good
farm upon which to raise grains, clovers
and plenty of pasture grasses. Pure Wa
ter is necessary for the COWS and for
good machinery and machinery houses
must all be had if much profit is expect
ed. Good COWS are the most important
factors. / attach more Importance to i'll
dividuals than to breed or pedigree. Get
the dairy type, then good Individuals of
that type. In 1890 l bought good cows
for $15 to $30-cows which have since
produced 400 pounds Of butter per year
In summer my principal food is grass,
supplemented with bran and cob meal
in winter, corn silage thirty to thirty-tvc
pounds per day. supplemented with four
to six quarts of bran and plenty of straw.
Tread power is used. as it is cheaper
than steam. / have not practiced soil
ing. My pasture consists of partly wild
and partly tame grasses; two to two and
oDe-half acres are required for each COW.
All butter is sold at home to private
trade, at uniform price Of 25 cents
tho year round. pack it i'll twenty-five
pound jars and deliver it to my custom
ers. My buttermaker is a woman from
Scotland. She is most capable and gives
50 to GO degrees. Ny mixers are men.
For silage | use ordinary field corn,
planted somewhat thicker than when
grown for grain. 1t is not trod down
when being put in the silo. This fall
part of the corn was badly frosted but
it came: out in splendid condition and
makes flrst-class feed.

Care of Farm Stock.


There is less work to be done in the
fields this month than in most others,
but the care of farm stock, keeping them
warmly sheltered and comfortably fed,
will provide enough work to keep the
farmer busy during the short hours of
daylight. These should be improved as
much as possible. to give stock exercise
in the open air whenever the weather is
not stormy. There will need to be par
ticular care of animals that are fed high
in order to fatten them. If any animal
fails to eat as it should it is sign that
digestion is injured by too rich and con-
centrated food. A change of food, with
holding corn until the appetite is i'm
proved, will do more for such stock than
dosing with medicine. A bran mash will
nearly always effect the needed change.
If the animal is fed timothy hay, give
it ration of cut cornstalks with fork
full of clover hay. If there is much con-
stipation. small quantity of linseed
meal will be helpful. Most of the diff
culties formerly encountered in winter
ing stock have been done away with
by the use of ensilage. This needs, how
ever, some dry food to 60 with it, but
where ensilage forms large part of the
ration, there will be little danger of con-
stipation, and the rough, staring coat
which it always causes.

Buying and Selling Young Stock.

For farmer who can keep but a
moderate amount of stock, buying and
selling is perhaps as profitable a way as
breeding it. Most young animals can be
bought for less than they are worth.
This is especially true of yearling cattle,
heifers and steers. They will often be
sold by the time they are near year
old for little more than they would have
brought when calves to be sold to the
butcher. The gain from one to two
years is greater than in any other year
of the animals existence. This is cspe-
cially true of heifers, which may be bred
to drop their first calf at two years old,
and will thenceforward pay their way.
OF course, if all farmers tried this policy.
there: would be- no young stock for safe.
But Il great many will always try to
raise ii fine calf. and be discouraged and
ready<<to sell it just about the time when
giving it good care and feed would in
sure the largest profits. Whatever stock
a farmer buys he will do we'll to secure
it when not older than year. Left long
er it will not become wonted to the new
home. nor do so we'll as it would if left
on the farm where it was reared.

One Way to Save Money.

During the winter many convenienccs
and necessary farm tools and imple
ments may be made in the home work
house. Hayracks, wagon beds, swing
gates, water troughs and tanks, sleds,
tool racks, chicken coops, shipping crates
and berry boxes are simple in construc-
ton. ANY bright farmer, with the as
sistance of blacksmith, can make all
of these and more. The expense will be
much less than if bought in town or
hired made. The tools which every
answer. We have in mind young
farmer who does all this kind of work,
and he is prospecting in spite of hard
times, cheap products. etc. He raises as
much grain and stock as his neighbors
who buy everything ready" made, and
has much more ready" cash. Try your
hand at it when the weather prevents
outside work. Many kitchen things are
also easily made.

"A Rare Man.

Charles r. Haseltine of Philadelphia

Drill to Make Curved Holes.
A recent machine shop novelty is o
drill to make a curved hole. 1t is prin-
cipally designed for mining purposes.
According to the American Machinist
tube, and is driven by flexible shaft
which runs through the tube and is
brought around outside to another little
shaft driven by pulley, which in turn
is driven by an air or electric motor.
Air under pressure is conveyed into the
tube and is discharged by series of
small apertures close to the drill, and
keeps the hole clear of dust. The pres
ence of the compressed air in the tube
suggests that it might be possible to
have rotary air motor close to the drill.
Such a motor could certainly be mounted

mechanism and get rid of the outer por-

Grit In Winter,

The most difficult matter with the hen
in winter is to procure a sufiiciency of
grinding material. In the winter every
thing is bound tightly to the earth, and
even if plentiful the grit cannot be picked
no by the fowls. 1t is essential that it
be supplied in some shape, and this duty
is Us important as the allowance of food.
Some persons use ground oyster shells,
which are excellent. but unless they are
coarse and sharp the hens use them spar
ingly. The soft oyster shells are of but
little service. One of the best materials
is chinaware. All the broken cups, sau-
GERS. dishes, plates, ETC., should be pound
ed for the hens. The fowls swallow
them with avidity. and it will surprise the
novice to notice how quickly the hens
will eat pounded glass when grit Is

Feathering of Chicks,

If brood of chicks be observed, es-
pecially if they are not pure-bred, and
Matched from eggs procured from per-
sons keeping different kinds of hens, the
chick will differ greatly in a few days.
Those possessing Leghorns, Dorking,
Game of Hamburger blood will begin to
shoot out the tiny feathers of the wings
and tails Immediately, while the chicks
that are strongly Brahma or Cochin will
remain nearly naked until we'll advanced
in growth. 1t will be observed that lice
will attack the feathering chicks sooner
than those that have not yet changed
down, and understanding chicks will
also sooner succumb to the effect of
dampness, and may also die from no ap-
parent cause. This is due to the great
drain of nitrogen and mineral elements
on the system, the rapid growth of the
feathers weakening the chicks. For
this reason chicks with but few wing
feathers arc hardy. as the food eaten
goes to the nourishment of the body
instead of to feathers and such chicks
will endure more cold, grow faster and
keep in better health than the others.
Chicks that are feathering rapidly will
be benefited by ration of chopped
cooked lean beef three times a week and
should have nourishing food.
