IT we allowed our sheep or cows to
wallow in the filth which surrounds
the pig during the most of its life, it
would not surprise us at all if they
suffered from lice, ticks and all
sorts of skin diseases. Most diseases
among swine start from filthy pen.
Undoubtedly hog cholera started
there. Disease germs live and grow
in filth, and the sickness of one CON
teammates the whole herd.
Animals should be handled as ma
chines-and very animated intricate
machines, extremely susceptible to
all surrounding influences; and only
men With love of detail and a ma
tural adaptation to the work should
be put in charge of them, if we
would avoid the ills to which they
are subject. Even right treatment
may be bunglingly done.

Immature plants are usually de-
ficient in nutriment in proportion to
weight, and that this is especially
true of corn has been frequently
pointed out. 1t has been shown by
careful experiment that one acre Of
rye, cut when in bloom, affords as
much nutriment as two and one
third acres will, if cut 30 days sooner,
before heading out.
In many States of = the Union
many of the farmers have already
abandoned fruit raising, believing
the professional grower only, with
his spraying machine and other APP
paratus, is able to successfully with
stand the present annual ravages of
insects. Is it not about time to pro-
tect our birds, before a worse condi-
ton of things comes?
Our gOoSeberries and currants are
usually left to grow as they will, un-
cultivated and untrimmed. They
should have rich loan, should be
pruned every year, leaving not more
than half dozen main stems or
branches. Even though there may
sometimes be less in quantity of
fruit, it will be much finer after
this procedure.
Do not attempt the raising of too
many varieties of apples. If for
home use, they should be timed to
come in at all seasons; but for mar
ket too many kinds will make a
great deal of trouble, without yield
ing corresponding degree of bene-
fit. Let neither the early nor the
late supply consist of more than one
or two good varieties.
In this country we have many
honey plants which are ignored, eX-
cept by the bees, who detect their
presence afar off and fly to them for
their treasures. Bee keepers have
not yet demonstrated by actual eX-
pertinent whether it would pay to
cultivate these wild plants for the
bees, or whether it is more profitable
to let them grow wild, undisturbed.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1896-06-12
Dairy.

The COW which has calved in
spring gives her fullest flow of milk
on grass in June, and it ought not to
be larger burden than she could
carry through II hours. For this
reason, during the long summer days,
it is not bad plan to milk three
times a day. In this country, in
midsummer, there are about l6 hours
of daylight for this.
Our pastures have habit of wan
ing away under the influence of the
hot sun of July and August, with
irregular and scanty showers. In
these conditions the pasture suffers,
and the COWS are not benefited.
Have some cultivated crop growing
for them. More food can be grown
from an acre as soiling crop than
is to be had from an acre of pasture.
The chief concern of the dairyman
during the winter is the cheapness
and variety of food for his cattle.
Soiling is one advance step; the pre-
pairing of an ensilage crop is a greater
one. The COW which is fed regular
ly on full feed is the cow which helps
the farmer to pay his bills. No use in
having a good machine and no power
to keep it in motion.
Denmark, with her little 1900
square miles, makes $3.50 a head
for each of her 100000 of popula-
ton every year from her sales of
butter. This is the result of careful
study and diffused instruction in the
methods. We might make better
~ Of n
mark, but we do not.
Blooded dairy stock is very cheap
now, and the sensible man will put
himself in the way to take advant-
age of the present state of the
market. There is a wonderful vir-
tue in a thoroughbred cow, only
needing the ability of the owner to
bring it out. From all points they
will bring One-fourth more profit
than a herd of the commoner sort.
There is nothing more detrimental
to good milk production than foul
water. If you are enterprising
enough to have the supply in the
stable, be careful that the cows do
not have chance to drop feed into
it. Have cover over it, and do
not let them drink until an hour
after eating; close it again before
feeding time.
Practice and chemistry agree
without reservation that good clo-
yer hay is the best roughness which
can be used in the dairy. When it
is time to cut it, remember that
poor clover hay is poor COW feed.
Cut when the blossoms begin to
brown, and hurry it into the barn.
The leaves are lost when tumbled
about too much after it is dry.
Experiments at the stations prove
that there is great gain in milk
from warming the water for the
COWS. Even in summer time they
will avoid the cool springs and
drink from hot and stagnant pools;
in winter time a drink of ice water
will cause them to draw their backs
up. 1t may not always pay to heat
water for them, but there are other
sources of heat than fire.
The horse must often thank the
pride of his master for the curry
combings he gets; but the poor
cows flanks are gummed with ma
nure for days and weeks. Get a
pail of warm water and soap and
clean her, and then put a pole
across her stall low enough that
when she humps herself to make
water she will touch it and back
from under it, and thus keep her
stall dry.

Agriculture.

right time. If the soil is stirred and
the fields kept clean during the
month of June, the corn plants be-
come stocky and assume the best
condition to make rapid growth
when the hot July sun starts them
with new vigOr. If neglected now,
it will be impossible to give the corn
proper attention later.
Honesty does pay, and it pays in
every profession. The farmer who
sells eggs which he knows are not
fresh, or puts the largest potatoes or
apples at the mouth of the sack, or
praises the cow he sells more than
she merits, or in any other way over
reaches his fellow man, will some
day confess that he has lost money
by so doing; and then think what a
poor opinion he has of himself all
the time.
There is a way to overcome every
thing, even the nuisance of muddy
barnyard. 1t is surprising that good
farmers do not cOntrive more speedy
ways to cure the matter. Such IL
thing is detriment to the whole
place, an eyesore to the whole coun-
try around. Clean it up and drain
it off.
In buying a farm do not make the
mistake of buying one of light
sandy soil because it can be worked
more easily than clay and never be-
come muddy. Though good for spe-
cial crops, such possess much less
strength than others, and are en-
- n nH N n N "
soil will retain for years the manure
washed into it, a sandy soil can never
become permanently enriched.
Potatoes are neglected more than
any other crop on the farm. Most
farmers go to some trouble to get
their seed potatoes in the ground in
good shape, and then consider the
principal labor done, though they
have a dread of the digging, with so
many weeds; but weeds have no
more place in the potato patch than
in the corn field.
Very little hand work is required
among potatoes if constantly cult
waited, as they should be. The very
best time to kill weeds is just before
they appear When the seed first
sprouts it is killed if it is moved, un-
less the weather be wet, and con-
slant cultivation keeps the weed
seed stirred.
1t would be dollars in our pockets
to tax ourselves heavily for good
roads. Markets would be open all
the year, and we could reach them
at less expense; there would be less
wear on wagons and horses; the
church, the school and the doctor
would not be so far away; and agri-
cultural communities would be
closer together.
Every cultivation of the soil while
it is wet imprisons some moisture
under the turned surface; this is
favorable to notification of the air,
even if no ammonia were in the rain
water in the first place. Breaking
the crust prevents radiation of the
heat and evaporation of moisture,
and does all the more good if the
soil turned up is less moist than that
turned under.
Pumpkins planted among corn are
less likely to be Injured by the squash
bug. By keeping the corn well Gull
tivated until the vines begin to run,
we doubt if pumpkins are any injury
to the main crop. In any event,
with farmers who are wont to lay by
their corn with a deep furrow be.
tween the rows, this butchery of the
corn roots would be prevented, and
much to their advantage.

Stock.

In grinding food it can usually be
managed that the work be done
when it least interferes with other
farm duties. Cooking can not be al
ways so managed, and most farmers
abandon it, though convinced of its
advantages. The actual work is not
great, and every feeder must decide
for himself as to its adyisability.
During these times of depression
we have let our stock of all kinds
run down. There is now increased
demand for high grade beef and
mutton and for the best high class
horses of different types-radically
different from our stock in trade of
millions of little scrubs. Our home
