up in yield for the reason
that 1t is just between hay
and grass-that is our dry feed is
usually very low in quantity and poor
in quality, fall grains are shut away
from the cows at this time, the silo is
empty and the pastures are short, but
for all of these drawbacks our report
shows up very well: Number of COWS
In milk was 81; number of pounds OF
milk, 15,045; number of pounds of but
ter made, The feed consumed
was bought at 65 and 70 cents per
hundredweight. The entire bill was
SCI, but as all stock on the farm was
fed from the same bin as the cows we
do not know the amount consumed by
the cows, but judge about $40 worth.
Dairying is not Springside's only in
dustry. We also breed English Berk-
shire hogs, and have fine lot Of in
dividuals that are raised at very low
figure. Our method is as follows: All
brood sows are kept in thirty-acre
wood pasture with running water, and
during the time of abundant grass they
receive no grain feed, but are given any
surplus milk from the creamery when
the pigs come, which is in March, April
and May. We add bran to the pasture
and allow the pigs the run of pasture
till cool weather in fall. Then the
choice breeding animals are selected
and the remainder put up in close pens
and finished for pork. We have no
sickness among the hogs here, and
have no trouble to make pigs weigh
600 pounds and over at six months.
Still another industry is producing GER
titled eggs. You may not know just
what it takes to make a certified egg.
Well, here in Texas eggs soon go of
in quality, and store eggs are not to be
depended on, so to fill long felt want
among our many friends and custom
ers we furnish them strictly fresh eggs
from one breed of fowls. All the eggs

arc one size and color. Springside eggs
have attained the same reputation as
the butter. Our chickens are Matched
in incubators, and with entire success
both as to number and quality. We use
a non-sitting breed so that the hens
cannot be depended on to sit. We have
found the first week of chickens life
is the time to make either broiler or
layer. That is, it must be started
right. AS soon as our chicks are dry
we remove them to a brooder, pre-
viously thoroughly warmed, and do not
feed them for thirty-six hours. Then
we give them rolled oat meal dry for
three or four days, then add millet
seed, corn meal and dry grain. We
never give chickens wet or sloppy food.
We keep the heat in the brooder up to
95 or 100 degrees for the first week.
The bottom is covered with sand and
gravel. We keep finely pulverized egg
shells before them as well as charcoal,
give plenty of water and skim milk to
them, but do not let them wet them
selves. We use fountain made Of a
tomato can inverted over saucer.

Cleo and the Farmer.

Suppose the claims of oleomargarlne
people we're true that their product is
Just as good as butter, as healthful as
butter. and but for restrictive laws
would sell as we'll as butter, what
would be the result to the farmer?
Counting 80 pounds per capita per
year as the butter consumed by the
average American, farmers find sale for
2,10O 900 900 pounds per annum. This
at the low price of 1919 cents per pound
brings them in 1852, 100000 net. says
the Chicago Produce. Let us suppose
that oleomargarine should supplant
butter. The farmer, receiving but
about 2 cents as his part Of the pro-
ceeds of the sale of a pound of oleo-
margarine, would only obtain S42.0 00,-
600 where before he received $685., $780,
600. The balance would go into the
hands of the middleman, and manu-
facturer, and agriculturists would be
deprived of sum annually as great al
most as the value of each years wheat
crop. And yet some senators repre-
senting agricultural constituencies, APP

A report of the Bureau * Animal
Industry says:
The course OF the export trade in an
finals and their products during the
past eight years forms very interest
ing subject for study. The great gains
In the exports of live animals have
been with horses, mules and sheep.
With animal products notable gain IL
seen in the case of fresh beef, mutton.
oleo oil, hams and sole leather. In
1889 the exports Of horses were 3,74s
head, and the average of the four years
1889 to 1892, inclusive, was 1886. In
1896 the exports of horses reached 25,-
12G, with an average for the four years
1893 to 1896, inclusive, Of 1881. The
number of sheep exported in 1889 was
12S,852, and the average for the four
years 1889 to 1892 was 76,07O. In 1896
the export of sheep reached the re-
markable number of 491, 565, and the
average for the four years 1893 to 1887
was 2GG, 1856. The exports OF fresh peel
have increased from 1877, S95,391 pounds
in 1889 to 224,783225 pounds in 1896.
The average for the years 1889 to 1891
was 1S1, 433,310 pounds, and for the
years 1893 to 1896 it was 2O4,O77O65
pounds. The exports of hams have
steadily increased from 42,S47,247
pounds in 1889 to 129,036,351 pounds in
1896. The exports of oleo oil increased
from 2S,102,534 pounds in 1889 to 103,-
27G,756 pounds in 1896, and the average
for the four years 1889 to 1892 was g.
O33,342 pounds, as compared with an
average of 1O4,652,723 pounds for the
year 1893 to 1896. There has also been
considerable increase, about one
third, in the exports of sole leather
during the last three years. The ship
ments OF live cattle, bacon, canned
and cured beef, lard and picked pork,
while they have fluctuated from year
to year, have not shown any very
marked tendency to increase or de-
crease. Bacon and picked pork have
diminished somewhat, but the exports
OF lard have been larger for 1896 than
1or any other year of the SERIES The
exports in few items have been con-
siderably diminished during the eight
years under consideration. Live hogs
have fallen off from As, 1923 in 1889 and
9o,664 in 1891 to 21,O49 in 1896. This is
probably due to the risk attending the
shipment of these animals and the
greater profit derived from the expor-
tation of their products. There was a
continuous decrease in the shipments
of tallow from 1890, when they reached
IL, 745,370 pounds, to 1895, when they
were only 25,S64,3OO pounds. There
has. however, been a recovery in this
trade during the last year, the exports
reaching 52,759,212 pounds. The ex-
ports of dairy products have not beer
satisfactory The butter trade, which
in 1890 reached 29,748,O42 pounds, fell
off to 5,59S,S12 pounds in 1885, Fortu-
nately, much Of this decrease was over
come in 1896, when 19,373,913 pounds
were exported. The cheese exports
show continuous decline since 1890
when they reached 95,376,053 pounds.
The quantity exported in 1896 was only
S6,77S,291 pounds.

Let It Sail Under It's Own Color.-An
attempt has been made to represent the
vigorous crusade against the illegal
sale of oleomargarine as being in
spired by the selfish motives of dealers
in genuine butter and the claim is wide
spread that oleomargarine is really bet
ter and more healthful than genuine
butter. The first assertion is absolute
ly false. No one interested in the en-
forcement of thee oleomargarine laws
cares one whit how much oleomarga-
rine is sold and consumed provided it
is sold for what it really is. No one
can object to persons whose tastes ap-
prove oleomargarine buying it. But
the issue at stake in the present agita
ton is to compel the sale of the stuff
for what it is and prevent it being sold
to ignorant purchasers when they call
for genuine butter and are made to pay
the prevailing prices asked for that
article.-EX.

size, hardy growth, and good laying
qualities make it practical fowl for
the farm. The Barred variety is the
most generally known of the Plym-
outh Rock classes, and their history
dates back little over a quarter of a
century. Various bloods were used in
its making, the belief being general
that they originally came from cross
between the American Dominique and
Black Java. 1t has also been shown
that the Light Brahma, Dark Brahma,
and Pit Game have been used in their
making.
