The Care of Cows Before Calving.
Actual experiment proves although
1t makes her look rather rough) that
the best plan for a few weeks prior to
calving is to give the COW the run Of
the open yard night and day, with a
shelter to run under, feeding her from
u rack kept supplied with lowland or
meadow hay, and some %cornstal ks,
with a bite Of good rowen once a day.
If You can afford a peck a day of veg
etables of any kind, it will be right in
the line Of good management. Place q
lump of mineral salt in the rack. Give
a plentiful supply Of good, pure, fresh
water at all times. ! don't believe in
grain of any kind after a COW goes dry,
unless in exceptional ase where an
animal is very much reduced by over
production Of milk and by hard fare
while giving milk. II you will follow
the directions given, my word for it,
your cow will give you a great deal OF
satisfaction during the summer.
Do not be in a hurry to give her
grain after she calves, for If she is a
good one she will return you more
without it than with it for two or three
weeks. The perfection of summer feed
for a COW is good, rich pasture, of a
variety of grasses; and for winter,
good, early-cut hay and rowen. sweet
corn fodder, for variety, run through
the fOdder-cutter, vegetables, q little
grain, and good, pure spring water ut
will. Also, provide a comfortable, we'll
ventilated, well bedded stable, and the
cow will do her best for yOu.-A. A.

Spring Care Of Cows.

In the olden times it was quite COM
mon to e farmers "tailing up" their
milk cows, because they had been half
starved through the winter, and when
the weather became warm the COWS
were too weak to get up alone. Sing
ularly enough, many Of these poor
cows would give a fair mess Of milk,
for the scared farmer would feed warm
bran mashes and take special care Of
them. But this weakening is HARM
full, and the COW should by all the
laws Of justice and humanity be well
fed when preparing for a period Of
lactation. But don't feed too much
ORR Remember that warm weather
Is coming, and that the foods suitable
for warm weather + not the heat
ing, fattening foods, but the cooler
and more laxative foods. Bran is q
grand food for spring use, and after
the calf il three days old the ration
can be gradually increased until the
COW has all she can eat. But for a
few weeks before the calf is dropped,
and for a few days after, feed spar
ingly Of grain. Wait until the COW
'comes to her milk" before stimulating
to full activity the milk secreting Or
gans. II the udder is in1amed, handle
it carefully and tenderly, and fomenta-
tons Of warm water may be advisable.
Be SUR that the cows have access to
sunshine. There is a tonic in sunshine
1T is a microbe killer and an invigor-
ator, but the cold spring rains are
very harmful, and shelter must be
provided against them. A cold rain
will spoil a COW for milk purposes
quicker than anything else that is
imminent in farm management

Continuing my present report
to you, | beg leave to say since
writing the above | have obtain
ed from Our transportation com
panies figures that will bear me
out in my estimate of our grow
ing interest. In 1882 to 1892 the
number of boxes of iced fish sent
north increased from 5000 to
900; and from 1892 the in
crease reached 42,4oo boxes OF
iced fish, including the boxes OF
iced sturgeon. | desire to call
your attention to the fact that !
have not reported the gill net in
terests in the lower waters that
employ about a thousand sail
boats and hundreds of thousand
yards of cob web-like netting set
exclusively for shad from Janu-
ary to May. The season Of $50 5
was tho most successful for a
great many years for this class
OF fishermen. Many boats, man
ned with three men, cleared
above all expenses, from $500,
and some as much IS 81 900 to
the boat, adding largely to ship
ment of this year.
