Always feed the right thing at the
right time to right stock. Remember
that corn produces fat and oats and.
bran bone and muscle. "
A few years ago sheep arriving in
the markets at the rate they are now.
could not have been sold at any price.
Now they are taken at prices that COM

The demand for sheep is on the in-

There is q large profit to the breeder

Raising the Heller Calf.

Fall calves will soon arrive, and with
them the question what to do with
them. With butter at Is cents there
does not seem much reason for raising
them, but if there is good reason to
believe that the calf will make a good
COW we would hesitate quite a while
before we consigned it to the sham
bles. Even now if you start out to
buy a hrst-class cow you will find that
that kind Of stock comes relatively
higher tllan any other. Mr., McKin-
ley states that if he is elected good
times are sure to follow; and Mr..
Bryan is equally positive that good
times will follow his election, and, as
one Of them must be elected. good
times must come anyway. But be that
as it may, there is less prospect of,
dairy goods going lower than there is
Of any other kind Of farm produce,
We may all pitch in and put in an ex-
ira crop of potatoes and send the price
down to below cost, but it takes a GER
tain amount of time to increase the
number of cows in the country, and
these are not the times that would
make the farmers grow where they
have been in the habit of selling them.
So we may at least look for prices to
go no lower, and with a fair prospect
of going a little higher.
But if the calf is not a good one it
would be better to knock it on the
head and feed to chickens rather than
raise it for the dairy. It does not cost
five cents more to raise a good calf
than it does a poor one, and the COW
that will make 300 pounds of butter a
year has eaten no more up to the time
she drops her first calf than the one
that will make only $50. There is not
a fortune i'll the dairy business in any
event, but if we raise calves from Door
cows from which to make up our fut-
IRE herd there is loss.-National

STARTING IN BREEDING,

| An Authority on Horse Breeding
| Gives Some Useful Hints.
Hark ComstoclS, well known writer
! on horses, in a letter to the Country
Gentleman, has this to say on starting
right again in breeding horses on the
farm:
Horses are not going to remain al
ways as low as they are now, and
! though l do not look for any special
or general advance during the coming
year, the great falling off in breeding
! must ultimately have it's effect. I be-
; lieve that those who breed mares in
j: 1897 will be met more than half way
j hy a keen demand for their foals Of
1898 by the time they approach use
/ full age.
If men of means who take interest in
j horses, and feel a pride in the advance
ment OF their locality in the horse
breeding business, would take con-
ccrted action, befor the present de-
preston in prices has passed, to Sc
cure and bring into their neighbour
hoods and distribute among the farm
ers large numbers of desirable mares
and FLIES, either by sale or on shares,
they would a few years hence find a
great field for the profitable introduce
ton of high class stations, where now
the services of a good stallion would
be practically wasted. If each farmer
were supplied with only as many
mares as he needed for the team work
OF his farm while breeding from them,
SO that he would have no idle ones to
support, his foals would lie raised at
4 minimum of cost, and he would be
1v tn fo1 TO Of f17t1
booms in the horse market which are
sure to come. 1t would, in fact, place
j the farmers back in the position they
were before they sold their birthright,
twenty-five to thirty years ago; a po-
! sition they could not hope to recover
by waiting to breed up from their pres
ent cold-bred stock, in less than thirty
, to forty years.
! Some Useful Stable Contrivanses
The American Agriculturist gives
the following arrangement for prevent
ing tail-rubbing by horses in the stall.
The Agriculturist says:
| Among other causes. high feeding
with heating food and but little exer
else brings on ali itching which makes
many horses rub their tails while in
the stable. The itching is often SO Sc
we're that the hair is nearly all rubbed
from the upper side, giving them a
most decidedly unpleasant and ragged
appearance. This state of affairs
should be corrected by cooling food
and proper outward application. In
the meantime a very simple arrange
mcnt, similar to that shown in the en-
craving, from sketch by L.. D. Shook,
should be used. 1t is simply frame
work of wood hinged to the side of the
stable Immediately back of the stall,
and so arranged that it may be folded
by pulling on the rope. The ends
should project beyond the division Of
the stalls and be about three feet from
the floor. If the animal is tied short,

It will be impossible for him to rub.
Another plan is to tie chain or rope
across the rear of the stall, or a board
may be used instead, being so ar
ranged as to be easily removed. The
folding plan first described will prove
the most convenient, and when not in
use may easily be raised up out Of the
way.

ing classes that require nitrogen; they
have no trouble about digesting It
Nor will this class Of people buy tie
bogus article, because they learn To
know the genuine. We therefore, have
brought upon ourselves, as a nation, sc.
we're punishment, by destroying the
confidence in us Of the worlds cheese
eaters. We make butter-good butter
but too much milk goes into butter,
reducing it's price. There is a back
track for us to take, and the sooner we
pursue it the better.

Packing Butter to Keep,

Packing Butter to Keep.
The New York Farmer gives the ex-
perience and methods Of butter-makr
er for keeping butter. He says imme-
diately after it is brought to a good
condition after churning, pack it firm
ly in gallon or half-gallon jars. Those
containing five or six pounds are pref
cradle. When the jars are bought ask
the seller, as he marks the weight Of
each, to number them, so that a record
of the amount of butter in each jar
can readily be kept Pack the jars lev
Ell full, tie a round piece Of strong,
thick cloth over the top, and place it
bottom-side up into a new, large crock,
Do not pack butter made at different
times in the same jar, but store only
those jars that can be filled at one
churning.
Make strong brine, using all the salt
the water will absorb adding to each
gallon teaspoonful of saltpeter and a
teaspoonful Of granulated sugar. Scald
the brine and skim it thoroughly.
When cold strain through a wet, thick
cloth into the crock. Add more brine
from time to time to keep the jars COW
cred two inches deep Tie thick cloth
over the crock to protect from dust,
and over this place a wooden cover to
exclude the light
Do not keep the crock on the cellar
floor, even if it is cement one, bat on
a platform, if possible, with Stats I'M
derneath the crock to insure free cir
culation of air. This will prevent mold
from forming on the bottom Of the
crock
Several smaller crooks may be used
in which to store the jars rather than
use bath of hot lime water, or strong,
hot soda water.

Estimates of Dairy Stock and Feed.
To supply the demand for milk and
its products in this country, 100000
cows are required. To furnish food
for them, the cultivation Of over CO.,
100000 acres Of land is required. In
caring for the COWS and their milk,
100000 men and 100000 horses are
needed. Cows and horses consume
annually 30000,O00 tons of hay, 9o,-
100000 bushels of corn meal and the
same amount Of oat meal, 275,OO0,0O0
bushels Of oats, 100000 bushels Of
oats, 100000 bushels Of bran and
100000 bushels Of corn, to say moth
ing Of the brewery and questionable
feed Of various kinds that is used all
over the country. 1t costs $500, 100000
to feed these cows and horses. -

Six-Cenf Rufter

Said a butter dealer to US not long
since: IF. came into my store a. few
days ago, and wanted to know if l
would give II or Is cents for some
good country roll butter I told him I
would, and the next day he sent in a
lot. After looking at it I had it put
into the cellar until J. saw him. I
asked him what he sent such truck as
that was for. He said he did not make
it, and told me to credit him with what
it was worth. gave him 6 cents, and
worked it over with brine and sold it
to a baker for TO-" We asked him
what was the matter with the butter.
'"Too much buttermilk in it," was the
reply.
We are sorry to say that this is not
fancy sketch, but an account Of what
actually happened, and the farmer
who made the butter has received 6
cents for his butter, less F.'s commits
sios and freight to market. Hoard's
Dairyman tells Of farmer to whom
they sent sample copies Of their paper,
writing to them: II received your old
papers, and would not give tinkers
d--n for all the dairy papers this side
Of HI" We, strongly suspect that
this gentleman and the one who re-
ceived 6 cents for his butter are one
and the same NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
