The Cow is Doing it.

The COW is saving the farmer of the
plains. She is not the handsomest OF
his possessions, but as she is coaxed
into a corner of the yard and gives
her milk she does more to pay off the
mortgages than any of the fancy in
vestments of which the farmer has
been so proud. The last few years
have been hard ones for the dweller
On the prairie claim. He has found
the price of grain low an1'the yield
light. He has experimental and
found the end vexatious.
In Kansas scores of creameries are
being butt each month. Less than
ten years ago the first creamery was
established in this county, and it was
one of the first in the state. Now
there are fifteen in one county, and of
the 1900 families in the farming
communities LOO take to the factory
each morning greater or less sup
ply of milk. They get from SIS to
500 each month for milk the year
round. The average is about $40,
and the total is nearly 100000 annu
ally. That means much to the set
tiers, who are thus enabled to have a
steady income not dependent on the
rainfall or the winds.
The prairie women are responsible
for the great advance made in this
direction. They were the first to see
the profit to be gained from the lit
tie things on the claim. The hens

DAIRY.
A plain Lesson.

Gentleman makes the following cleal
statement of fact:
| In a recent number of the Mich.
gan Farmer / read communication
from E. F. Brown, giving the result
of a test made and record kept of the
production of one COW in a dairy
which clearly teaches most valuable
lesson that was entirely overlooked in
the report.
During eight weeks following Feb
8 this COW gave 1868 pounds milk, OF
% 81 pounds per day on an average
But there was a variation from 1913 to
2l8 pounds per week, and history OF
the way in which she was fed and
treated during the time, and it is in
this we are to find the lesson.
"For instance, during the first week,
Feb, 9 to Is, she gave POI lbs and the
next week 214 lbs, or a gain of Ii lbs
Now, the first week was warm and
pleasant, and she was turned out
every day 20 minutes to drink, but
the next week was regular blizzard,
and she was not turned out at all, but
Watered in the stable twice a day, and
gained almost 2 lbs per day, while
the rest of the herd, turned out as
usual, shrunk 10 to IL lbs each. She
therefore showed an absolute gain of
about % lbs per week, or over 81 lbs
per day, or over II per cent. Now
this milk was made in winter and
was worth at least ST. per 100 lbs, and
if SO it paid Is cents per week just for
care and comfort Twenty-Five cents
per week means, for 26 weeks, the
usual period for stabling COWS, $3.50,
and this for an absence of 20 minutes
exposure each day and for added care
and comfort. And yet how many
cranks we have who claim that the
COW must go out every day for a
breath of fresh air, and usually they
mean run out from two to four hours.
If a man has, say, Is COWS, the loss
for the 20 minutes exposure each day
each would be $3.50, or a good deal
more than it would cost to hire man
to care for them.
"But there was another factor that
entered into this gain which should
not be overlooked. A part of this
gain was due to the fact that in the
second week she was watered twice a
day instead of once. "a
THE average dairyman does not
seem to realize the importance Of Civ
ing his COWS all the water they want
and when they want it. He does not
remember that more than 81 per cent
of the milk is water, and that with
out this water, no matter how we'll
the COW is fed, she can't make the
milk. Nor does he realize how diff
cult it is-in fact impossible-for the
COW to drink at one time enough to
do her for full day and have her do
her best.
can average 1000 pound COW in
full milk must have from five to sew
en- pals of water every "a hours, and
compelled to take this enormous
quantity all at one time she is badly
handicapped.
every man on watering twice a
day will notice a change from once
watering, and when watering three
times he will see an increase over
twice, and those who put in stable
watering device and give cows con-
slant access to water are always sur
prised at the gain"

For many generations agricul-
tural writer's have advocated and
farmers have practiced letting the
manure rot in piles before using.
Now. this is known to be wrong,
because the process of fermentation
rapidly dissipates or consumes the
fertilizing properties Of the mass.
We have actually seen manure
heaps reduced to ashes by the slow
combustion which takes place in
the heaps. The lfresher manure is
when applied the better, whether
plowed in or left on the surface to
be leached in by rains.

Indian Game Chickens.

The Indian game has bounded
into popularity more rapidly than
any fowl ever did since the old
Shanghai was first introduced from
China They are unquestionably
splendid table fowl. We are par
tial to genuine games anyway
not solely on account of their cour-
age and endurance, but because
they are the finest of table fowls
quality as admirable as the in
vincible heroism of the steel-tested
kind of domestic fowls. But we
are told by seemingly good author
ity that Indian games are only toll
cradle layers. Now, that tolerable
is significant, and if there is truth
in it, the breeders of Indian games
should exert themselves to get rid
of the stain, by breeding for eggs.
It is we'll known, but denied by
some who have more enthusiasm
than judgment, that a long seige OF
breeding, for standard points is cal
culated to weaken the egg-produc-
ing functions. The world is hungry
and wants flesh and eggs. The In
dian game may be made to supply
both in large quantities and of the
best quality.

Local Markets for Eggs.

1t is not always in the large
markets that the highest prices are
obtained for eggs. One reason why
so many farmers ship their eggs to
distant market is because it is
easier to do SO than to sell nearer
home. When a lot of eggs can be
sent away in crate to be sold by
an agent the work is done, and
when sold in the nearest town more
time must be given. If the towns
were better supplied prices would
be higher in the large markets, and
it will 40 doubt pay to build local
custom for eggs, as better prices are
obtained in that manner than by
shipping to the cities.

FOR THE FARMER.
mulehlng to Keep Down weeds.

1t is not at all uncommon to
find fruit gardens of amateurs
mulched over their entire surface,
both to keep the roots OF the bushes
and trees cool and to lessen the
necessity for hoeing. Where mulch
ing can be kept up year after year,
there is much in its favor, though
it is not universally acknowledged
to be an unmixed blessing. There
are cultivators who contend that
soil continually covered in that
way is lacking in some elements OF
fertility which the exposed soil ac-
quires. But aside from this, there
is no doubt at all that a perpetual
mulching brings fibrous roots close
to the surface, and this is what so
many contend is an injury in the
end. AS already said, where mulch
ing is carried on from year to year,
the roots are, in a measure, as far
below ground as usual, measuring
from the mulch, but otherwise they
are not, and both from the Winters
cold and Summers heat they are
liable to injury. The mulchings
afford GOODNESS and moisture to the
surface of the ground and entice
roots to occupy the same position.
Some years ago grower of dwarf
pears believed that surface manur-
ing in Spring was much better than
doing it in the Fall, or applying
the fertilizing material in any other
way. He kept up the work for two
or three years, manuring heavily
in early Spring, so that quite a
coat of it was there all Summer.
At the end of that time, deciding
that the trees were growing too fast
for their welfare, he omitted the
manure in the Spring. But he
found that the roots of the pears
were so near the surface, brought
there by the GOODNESS of the food,
that serious injury resulted to the
trees in the hot Summer weather,
so great, indeed, as to quite undo
all the benefits derived from the
previous mulching. There are GER
tain shrubs natives of deep woods
and cool places, such as azaleas and
rhododendrons, which demand
mulch, that the roots may continue
in a cool temperature. And newly
planted trees are much the better
for mulching to aid them to re-
cover from their transplanting, and
to form new roots. But to mulch
for the purpose alone of keeping
down weeds, as some gardeners do,
is not likely to result in lasting
benefit to the plants. In the case
of strawberry plants, or others
which will occupy the ground for g
short time, mulching continuously
saves wedding, and is, as well, of
benefit to the plants.
