Dairy Notes.

Many farmer does not care to
know good milk from bad.
The annual value of the dairy
product of the United States is es-
timated to exceed $400,000,000.
Since the national filled" cheese
law went into effect, the manufac-
ture Of that delectable product in
Wisconsin, "they say has stopped.
At the creamery in jacksonville,
Cal, where are located the Spreck-
les beet sugar factories, over 900
cattle are being fed, mostly with
beet pulp.
Cows are often starved into eat
ing old stuff that is actually hurt
full in character. Half decomposed
food is not good for them, or any
other animals.
Uniform good quality in butter
is what determines its value. No
matter how careful one is to get it
to the customer, if the quality is
not the best, good prices will not be
obtained.
Dairymen should carefully watch
the teats of their cows, and if any
soreness is detected, attend to it at
once. A little timely attention
will soon remove the trouble, give
ease to the COW, and save the milk
er time in milking.

Lock TO the Poultry House.

In the Winter your poultry is
compelled to be under shelter much
of the time, and you should see to
it that the poultry house is put in
proper condition for it before severe
weather sets in. Put on the white
wash wherever it will stick, walls,
roof, nests and all. See that the
perches are in good condition, free
from sharp edges, nails or any other
thing that might injure the fowls.
Have your perches all on the same
level to avoid crowding at the top.
Don't have them too high. One and
a half or two feet is sufficient.
Where perches are too high fowls,
especially the larger varieties, are
apt to injure themselves in flying
up or down. See that the nest boxes
are all right, easy of access and
clean, with good fresh straw in
them occasionally. 1t is a good
idea to place nest boxes in the dark
est part of the house, as it is hens
nature to hide her nest, and the
more seclusion you can give her at
the laying hour the better she likes

sure Fertilizers.

Those who grow clover should
never fail to use lime or wood ashes
Lime is cheap, and there is no ex-
cuse for emitting it. Where wood
ashes are difficult to obtain it is
better to procure the potash salts.
An advantage in wood ashes is that
they contain both lime and potash,
the lime being in excellent form for
application to the soil Ashes con-
tain phosphoric acid also, and phos-
plate. The clover will provide the
soil with nitrogen, hence clover and
wood ashes will make any soil fer
tile if clover can be made to grow
upon it. The use Of ashes must de-
pend upon their cost, however, but
lime can be easily and cheaply OBJ
tanned at all times.

Spring Lambs.

An 80-pound lamb will bring
more money than full-grown
sheep, provided it gets into the mar
ket early. Lambs which come in
February and reach the market in
July, requiring five months to
weigh 80 pounds, are considered as
having made good progress. If the
lamb can be made to produce 80
pounds in four months, it is equiv
alent to having it come in January,
or a month earlier. With the use
of the mutton breeds such lambs
can be produced in three months,
thus gaining not only two months
in earliness, but also in quality.
This is important when it is taken
into consideration that gain of
two weeks may double the price of
the lamb.

why MIX BECOMES Tainted.

Dr. Gerber, the Swiss scientist,
classifes the causes of tainted milk
as follows:
Poor fodder.
Poor, dirty water, used not only
for watering cows, but also for
washing cans.
Foul air in COW stables.
Uncleanliness in milking.
Keeping the milk too long in too
warm and poorly ventilated places.
Neglecting to cool the milk quick
ly after milking.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1897-01-23

Make it rule to plant at least a
dozen fruit trees every year and the
orchard will never give out. It is
not proper to defer planting new
trees until the old ones die out, as
it then takes time for the young
trees to grow. By planting a few
trees every year the farmer will al
ways be prepared for any decline in
his orchard.

To Make Most Profit Out OF Pigs

On our farms we make a good
deal of pork, and by careful watch
ing we have found that the way to
make the most profit is to crowd
the pigs with all the food they can
digest and assimilate from the day
they will eat until they will kill at
$50 to IT'S pounds and then put
them in market and give the food
to other pigs.
If pigs be fed on skimmilk, wheat
middlings and little oilmeal, with
a run on clover pasture or in an
orchard, or if in Winter they have
plenty of clover hay and mangolds,
or even turnips, the feeder need not
be afraid of their getting too fat.
They will make rapid growth, but
it will be largely lean meat, tender
and juicy-just what is wanted
these days.

FOR THE FARMER.
Berries for the Farm.

The farmers berry garden should
be decided upon now. Mature plans
for the season; select your plants;
order them early; and let this be
your first work in the Spring.
One-quarter acre of good land,
set with proper varieties and well
cultivated, should produce from
twenty to forty bushels Of berries
every season. This would give an
ordinary family fresh berries every
day in season and liberal supply
canned, preserved or dried during
the entire year.
Plants for such garden may be
purchased direct from reliable
grower for $40 or SIS and should
include the following:
Three hundred strawberry plants,
early and late,
One hundred blackberry plants,
early and late.
Fifty black raspberry plants,
early and late.
Fifty red raspberry plants, early
and late.
Seventy-fve currants, red and
white, early and late.
Twenty-Five gooseberry, early and
late.
Eighteen grapes, three varieties,
early.
Multiply this list by four for one
acre, or by twenty for five acres, and
you have the right proportion for a
continuous supply of different va
rieties for market purposes.
Good berries may be grown on
any soil--sand, clay, muck, loan,
gravel, or combination of each
provided the same be highly fertil-
lied, well drained and thoroughly
cultivated
Early fruits are usually most de-
sirable, and light soils with south
ern exposure are best adapted for
that purpose. Light soils, however,
require heavy fertilizing, more
mulch in Summer, are more liable
to injury by drouth, and produce
lighter crops. Clay soil must be
well drained, is more difficult to
prepare, natures later crops and is
not so favorable for Winter protec-
ton. The ideal berry ground would
be, "a a rich, sandy loan with clay
subsoil; (2), dark loan or gravel
ly loan, mixed slightly with clay,
and clay subsoil; all having a
southerly or eastern slope.
Any of these mixed soils will
make good berry gardens by apply
ing good barnyard manure, which
contains all the essential elements
required. When such manure can
not be obtained, commercial fertili-
zers rich in nitrogen and potash
should be applied.
Avoid low, fiat land unless un-
derdrained; it il usually cold, late
and more subject to frosts.
Avoid steep hillsides as being
more subject to drouth and wash of
soil by severe rains.
Very few farms are without suit
able soil and location for good ber-
ry garden, and that farmer who
simply exists, year after year, with
out good garden, has not learned
the first principles of good living.
