Poultry Yard.

Save the gritty buckwheat for
the poultry The birds like it and
it spoils the -four for cake making.
This is the last month for build
ing that new poultry house. Oct
ober was better time, but better
late than never.
Houses with double pitch roofs
should have trough along the
front caves to catch and carry off
the rain and melting snow.
When thinning out a flock of
geese always sell the young birds;
the old ones make the best breeders
and bring a low price in market.
Many mysterious visitation of
cholera comes from feeding new
corn that is soft and moldy. Be
careful. For fattening, new corn
that is reasonably dry and sound,
is all right.
The Importance of open sunny
sheds becomes apparent when the
Autumn rains begin to fall and the
chilling winds to blow. 1t will not
cost much to make such an addition
to the old poultry house.

Liquid Fertilizers for Flowers.

Liquid fertilizers are never-fail-
ing renovators, and some kind or
other is within the reach of all. A
few drops of household ammonia in
a pitcher of water are not lost on
Indifferent plants. A weekly APP
plioation of soapsuds is recommend
ed. Commercial plant food is good,
but in some respects is not equal to
barn-yard manure, although clean
er and easier to handle.
A few table-salt bags filled with
various manures securely tied, a
pail and an old dipper, are the es-
sentials, and can be tucked away in
an obscure corner of the back porch
or shed, ready for hot water, as the
occasion demands. Pour water on
the bags in the watering pot, and
the soluble parts will be leached
out. Five or even 10 pound bags
are good size for pail of water;
and the cloth is just coarse enough
for strainer, keeping back fine
straw and litter, which might otner-
wise clog the watering pot.
Hen manure is of great value,
but must be used judiciously, for
the percentage of lime in it's COM
position is larger than that of any
other given analysis. Dove manure
is even better, for it contains more
organic matter, nearly as much
nitrogen, and a third less lime,
which makes it safer to, use. Sheep
manure has also been known to
produce marvellous growth, which
may be attributed to the unusual
amount of organic matter it con-
tains. Cow manure is, perhaps,
safest and best of all for general use,
as it contains all things in modera-
tion.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Butter and Beef.

1t is estimated that a given
amount of dry food, when fed to
steers, will produce three times as
many pounds of live weight as of
butter when fed to cows. A pound
of butter should, therefore, be worth
about three times as much as a
pound of beef, not counting the cost
of butter making.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1897-11-13
About salt.

AS for salt, use the best; it is new
er too good. Use fine grained,
clean and easily dissolving salt.
Coarse salt is always apt to cut the
grain. 1t takes a long time for
thorough dissolving and necessi-
tates two workings, which in large
creameries, and in the warm season,
| think best to avoid. In putting
on the salt use a hair sieve, thereby
avoiding Jumps and uneven sailing,
and also the streaked and notified
butter caused by improper sailing.
In testing salt measure off equal
quantities to an equal amount of
water, and the salt most quickly
dissolved, and giving the clearest
brine, is the salt you want. Use
salt to suit your market and the
season, the quantity varying from
three-fourths to / ounce per pound
of butter. In working, whether
washing the butter or not, be care
full to work the moisture well off
before sailing; this will save salt,
save the grain and insure a better
BODY.

Unthrifty stock.

There is no quicker way to lose
money than by feeding unthrifty
stock. Do not be so foolish as to
put up any animal for Winter which
does not show good promise of re-
turning good profit for every pound
of food consumed. Old animals, or
such as have been stunted, will not
do this,

A Point In Dairying.

The farmer can grow cheap foods
in the Summer and convert them
into high-priced butter in the Win
ter, and find reader market; but
be must have fresh cows, good shell
ter and ample food, and all prepar-
ed in season. Otherwise the best
results must not be expected.

The Jerseys MIX.

The butter globules are not so
large in the milk of any other COW
as in that of the Jersey. For this
reason the milk throws up the
cream more readily and completely,
and it churns more readily than
any other. The Guernsey is its on
ly competitor.

FOR THE FARMER.


State aid to wagon roads has been
in vogue for several years in some
of the Eastern States. New Jersey
seems to have been the pioneer in
this departure from old road-build-
ing methods. New Jerseys system
of road bull ding divides the expense
between the abutting property ownl
er, whose land rises in value as the
result of improving the road, the
county and the State. The property
owner pays 10 per cent OF The cost,
the State pays, one-third and the
county pays, the remainder. The
improvement is made upon the pc
tition of the property owners, plans
are made. by county engineer and
submitted to the State, Highway
Commissioner for approval; the
county makes the contracts and
the State appoints a supervising
engineer. Upon completion of the
improvement a warrant is drawn
upon the State Treasury for one
third of the cost and the adjoining
property owner is assessed by the
county for his portion of the ex-
pense. State aid has also been in
PRODUCED in Rhode Island and Con-
necticut, and Massachusetts and the
State of Washington are both build
ing some of their roads at the entire
expense of the State. These State
aid roads are, as a rule, macadam
roads, and have met with general
approval, especially on the part of
farmers, who find themselves able
to haul four tons of produce with a
twp-horse team, where formerly
their load did not exceed ton and
a half or even a single ton. The
Road Commissioner of New Jersey
writes me that most of his time is
spent listening to the pleadings of
farmers that their roads shall be
given the benefit of the State aid.
General approval of the State aid
system, on the part of the agricul-
tural classes, indicate its undoubted-
ly growing popularity, and it is safe
to say that when the great necessary
reform in bodybuilding in the
United States is brought about, it
will be accomplished through the
medium of State auditorium.
