THE DAIRY.
WHAT GOOD COWS CAN DO.

> At a recent Farmers Institute in
Canada, Mr.. Q. D. Tilson made the fol
lowing report on what his herd of Hol-
stein COWS had done the pact year:
One COW gave Is, 900 pounds, or 1 500
gallons, of milk. CThe Canadian gal
Ion weighs ten pounds.) This, at 5
cents a quart, would bring $500. This
was an extraordinary case, but the
averages were still very remarkable.
Ten COWS averaged II, 600 pounds, 40
COWS averaged 5000 pounds and 55
COWS averaged 5000 pounds. From
his description of the methods OF care
and the buildings employed to attain
these results, it was evident that con
sideration for the comfort and well be-
ing Of the animal is the primary object
of attention at this place, at least. The
diet used consists of bran, 6 pounds;
peas, 2 pounds; corn, ground on the
cob, 8 pounds; ensilege, so pounds;
clover, 8 pounds, which, with other
ingredients, brings the cost per COW
per day to IA cents.
Taking the average yield of the whole
s. COWS, each COW made a net profi5 of
500 after allowing for cost Of keeping
at IA cents per day, or a total for the
whole herd of IS 995. Besides this,
there is to be taken into account the
value Of the manure made By the herd,
which manure would be rich in plant
food. Such farming as this is profitable
both to the farmer and his land. When
selling milk, butter IF cheese, but little
fertility is sold off the farm, and it's
pr03uctiveness can be maintained
without buying fertilizers.

The sheep has been called the politi-

from their own, or the manipulation Of
others. But the Experiment Farm had
some administration lambs born on
March Ash which up to April 1st have
outstripped all others in growth. No
special attention has been given these
lambs, which are grades Of ss many
different breeds, showing, Of course,
that the tariff means sheep, and not

INSURANCE CONFERENCE.

On the 283h, OF April, there is to be
held at Southern Pines, North Caro-

Conference" The members OF the Con
terence, are to be delegates appointed
by the Governors Of Southern States,
Presidents of Boards of Trade and
Chambers OF Commerce, Mayors Of
cities and towns, and Editors Of Lead
ing Newspapers. The object of the
conference, is to especially call the at
tention Of the Southern people to the
large amount of money that is annually
going out of the South for life and &C
cideEt insurance. It is said that for
every dollar paid to persons insured
South, two dollars go out. It is Ger.
tainly time Southern men were inves-
tjgating. There is no reason why this
business can not be conducted in the
South; and We are glad to see a move
ment under way, that will at least
cause people to think. and not only to
think but show them that they ought
to patronjZ9 ard sustain the insurance
companies already established in the
Southern States. 1t is we'll for US to

PRACTICAL saREP HUsBANDRY

Young animals cannot digest solid
food until they have their grinding
teeth through. It will be wise to avoid
feeding young lambs any grain food
until they are thus far advanced. a
little meal sailed may be given, how
ever, by the hand to tame them, and
prepare them for feeding in this way
by and by.
It is a good thing TO have a good
fresh COW on hand when the young
lambs are appearing. A few drinks of
the new milk may save many a lamb.
Later in the season preparations
should be made for a good supply of
cabbages and turnips for the dock.
These are for next winter feeding, when
they will go far to keep the flock
healthy.
II is a 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
parasites carried by the old sheep.
! These by their greater natural hardi.
ness do not suffer from them as the
weaker lambs will.
Some ewes are poor mixers, for, al
though 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 better. This is
a point to be taken Of by the shepherd,
80 that the less productive ewe may
be helped out with q more liberal sup
ply Of feed.
Alternate pastures are a great help
to the flock. s leep love change, and
naturally are wandering in their habit.
A freshened pasture, therefore, will
greatly help them as a change now and
then.

champion sheep killer of the world,

adequate protection" they n quick

TIE stall used by the highland Scotch
shepherds-withjn which the sheep
find shelter from the sweeping storms,
by which they are otherwise driven of
their range and get dispersed-will be
found very useful on the ranges.
These are more curved walls or angular
enclosures, with the point directed TO
the prevailing winds, and made OF
stones or sods. Sheep may be entirely
buried in these shelters, thus lying
warm and protected, until the storm
is over, when they extricate themselves
without difficulty.
For the encouragement of the milk
ing habit there is 30 better feed than
linseed oil meal and bran mixed eQaall4,.
Two ounces Of this mixture given daily
will greatly help TO increase the supply
Of milk as we'll es to better its quality.
