scrnb Cow soph:strr.

A correspondent in the Rural New
Yorker makes a plea for what he
calls the scrub COW by reason Of the
fact that she is a better mill for the
consumption of rOughage, and as at the
present prices of butter it does not pay
to feed grain. This sounds very nice,
and doubtless there are many who sup
pose that it is true; but such reason
ing is at the most somewhat super
fetal. In the first place what is
"roughage?" Webster does not recog-
nize the word, so we may assume that
it means the hay and coarse folders
on the farm. Now in the first place,
we admit that native COW may turn
more of mOuldy or weedy hay into but
ter than will a thoroughbred that has
for generations been used to good feed.
But if any man will deliberately pursue
that line of dairy farming that calls
for the raising of weedy hay. and the
improper curing of good hay, then we
may say Ephraim is welded to his
idols, let him alone. We all sometimes
raise weedy hay, and at times get some
of it improperly cured, but do not let
us deliberately plan for such work. And
even admitting that every year we must
get some of our hay caught in too many
rains there is no COW on earth. be she
scrub or Thoroughbred, that will make
the best butter out OF poor feed. Let
us see as to feeding grain or hay: A
ton of timothy hay and a ton of bran
contain as follows, in each 100 pounds:
Protein. C-kydrates. Fat.
Timothy hay e. 80 1879 II
Bran .......... 12.6 49.1 20
And while the bran contains four
times as much protein or Matchmaking
food. twice as much fat and slightly
more carbohydrates as the hay, yet the
price OF the two is nearly the same.
Does this look as if it did not pay TO
feed grain to cows? This is an ex-
IRENE case to be sure. as timothy is
the highest priced hay we have, yet
it is often the case that food nutrients
may. be purchased cheaper in the form
of grain than in hay or coarse fodder.
The fact of the matter is that the low
err the price of butter the more need of
the best COW, and the best feed where
with to feed her.

Five months after incubation with
another sample Of OleOmargarine, the
pig which had been used for the expert
ment was chlorOfOrmed for examina-
ton. The animal was in fair eondi-
ton, but the left lung showed incipient
tuberculosis. and this disease was also
apparent in the spleen, and there were
several calcareOus tubercuiar nodules
adherent to the sternum. 4 prepare
ton made from this same sample had
shown the presence Of a germ which
~ould scarcely be anything but the tn
berculosis bacillus. The result OF the
incubation confirmed this diagnosis,
The NEGOTIATIONS OF all the animals
were made by introducing in the side
a bit of fat the size Of a small pea.
The incision healed rapidly. and at
the time OF the autOpsies there was
no evidence of local LESSONS or any
effect which might have been due d.
rectly TO the mechanical part Of the
NEGOTIATIONS.
A number of other guinea pigs have
been inoculated with different samples
of oleomargarine. but at this writing
(after eight months have not con-
tracted disease from the OleOmargarine
incubation. Two Of the samples
which caused disease in the animals
were made at q factory where the ma
tsrial used may have been question
able in character.
Our incubation experiments show
that disease may be COM
municated by means OF oleomargarine.

ease could also be communicated in
the same way by butter. It is. how

Practical Sheep Husbandry.

Young animals cannot digest solid
food until they have their grinding
teeth through. 1t will be wise 10 avoid
feeding young lambs any grain until
they are thus far advanced, says
American Sheep Breeder. A little meal,
sailed, may be given, however, by the
hand, to tame them, and prepare them
for feeding in this way by and by. II
is a good thing 70 have a good fresh
COW on hand when the young lambs
are appearing. A few drinks OF the
new milk may save many lamb. Lat
er in the season preparations should be
made for a good supply of cabbage
and turnips for the flock. These are
for next winters feeding, when they
will go far to keep the flock healthy.
1t is wise precaution to separate the
lambs from the older sheep as soon as
possible, to avoid the infection OF the
young things by the numerous para
sites carried by the old sheep. These,
by their greater natural hardness, do
not suffer from them as the weaker
lambs will. Some ewes are poor milk
ers, for, although the feeding may be
the same. some Will milk better than
others. But we may be sure the milk
is made from the food, and some extra
good feed may help the eve TO do bet
ter. This is point to be taken note
of by the shepherd, so that the less pro-
ductive ewes may be helped out with
a more liberal supply of feed. Alter
nate pastures are q great help to the
flock. Sheep love change, and natural
ly are wandering in their habits. A
freshened pasture, therefore, will great
ly help them as q change now and
then.

ouestions IN Bee Keeping.

1. Is II the old or new queen that
goes out with the swarm?
2. Do you clip one or both wings OF
the queen?
3. II drones are killed how IL It
best accomplished? How repress the
rearing Of them?
4. When sections are not finished
in the fall flow of honey can the bees
he fed and cause them to finish them?
If so, do you advise this plan?
Answer: l. The old queen goes with
the first swarm and young queen
with each after-swarm.
2. A bee has four wings, a large
one and a small one on each side. It
is sufficient to cut the large wing on
one side. and better than TO cut little
from all. L. A. Aspfnwall reports that
he has cut off about an eighth OF an
inch from the wings on both sides
Of virgin queens, and finds they be-
come fortified all right, showing they
can fly with that amount cut from both
sides. Gle does this TO secure fertiliza-
ton from his own drones rather than
to have them fly off to distance) But
II the same amount be cut away from
one side only it throws them out OF
balance when they attempt 10 fly ana
they tumble to the ground. II you cut
off just the one large wing take on all
you can conveniently. With only one
wing cut away, the defect Is scarcely
noticed, so that if you care greatly for
the beauty of your queens you will cut
only one wing. But the very fact that
such clipping is not so readily noticed
makes it Objectionable to one who has
much work in the aDiary, so l prefer
to cut off all l can conveniently from
both wings on one side, then I can
tell at a glance whether a queen Is
clipped or not.
3. You can kill drones by means Of
a drone-trap in front OF the hive, catch
ing them in ii and then destroying
them. A better plan is to slice the
heads off the drone-brood after it is
sealed. Much better than either is the
plan Of having no drOne-cOmb in the
hive. Fill every frame full Of worker
foundation. But bees are sometimes
so desperately in earnest about rear
ing drones that they will work a few
drone-cells in every possible place, and
will even build some cells on worker
base. G.. NJ. Doolttle thinks it better
to allow them one or two square inches
Of drone-cOmb in the hive, and this
satisfies them, and gives the beekeep-
er no trouble to find it, so he can slice
it every two or three weeks.
4. Most bee-keepers decide that il
is not easily practicable, and not profit

uses manure from the city stables

twenty-five loads per acre once in
three years. For these many years,
more than three-fourths of all his
planting has been six rows Of Crescent

today is stronger in these than any
other; still he tries most OF the newer
kinds. Perhaps the most noticeable
points Of his management are:

things are easy. Let US each try them

to keep debit and credit the coming
season and, as far as practicable, a
tally with some of the
