proper physical organization. A
COW can not produce the yield of
butter she should if she can not di-
gest sufficient food.
1t will not pay to feed milk to a
COW if it can be fed to any other
smaller animal. 1t is a strong nitro
genous food, but experiments do not
warrant banking much upon it to
feed back to the COW which gave it..
When dairy animals are to be
fully fed in winter, roots and ensil-
age are valuable additions to their
ratiOns. Where a high quality of
butter is the aim, oats, bran, meal
and kindred things are better than
linseed meal, cotton seed meal and
malt sprouts.
If the COW keeps in good health it
is to the interest of the owner to
feed her only so much as will be
turned into milk and butter and sup
port life easily. High feeding be-
yond the normal produces fat, which
is but waste for the dairyman.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1897-01-29
Poultry.

A consensus of opinion among
poultry keepers is that buckwheat is
an excellent food of fowls. Some
ascribe their profit to its use, chiefly
OF course, this means that all the
other conditions of care and food are
properly supplied.
It is not we'll to try to raise our
chickens on the manure pile, for
when broilers are found with an es-
pecially fine flavor it is owing to the
nature of the food they get. Pure
grains and meats soon prove the
manner of their keeping.
Geese are profitable. They need
no more water than do other classes
of poultry. Let the goslings be
Matched early their food is largely
grass, and if they can avail them
selves of it while young and tender
they can be grown with very little
expense, indeed.
In making the chicken house ready
for winter it is not wise to have il
overheated. A temperature of sc
degrees is better and healthier than
one higher, but it must be main
tanned evenly, with good ventilation
without draughts.
A good plan is to have an empty
barrel in corner of the hen house,
and another of land plaster or dry
road dust. Cover the floor tightly
with this, and at stated times scrape
up the droppings and put into the
empty barrel. This will be easy to
handle afterward when carrying tC
the garden.
Although man may find his hens
paying better than his cows, it does
not follow that it would be advisa-
BILE for him to sell his cows and put
all his money into hens. Better
have several sails ali drawing a lit
tie than to depend upon one for his
financial propulsion.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1897-01-29
Horticulture.

Grapes do not ripen up in transit
like apples and pears. 1t is a strong
temptation to run them on the
market as soon as colored, as early
shipments bring highest prices.
Most varieties should remain on the
vines until they attain proper
quality.
Many female moths have only ru-
dimensary wings, and pupate in the
ground; they have to climb the trees
to lay their eggs. Therefore, several
of our destructive moths can be kept
off the fruit trees by slight applica-
ton of tar and grease. The canker
worm and tussock moth are cases in
point.
1t has always been thought benef-
cial to put cinder and scales from
the blacksmith shop around fruit
trees. Australian fruit growers go
further, and dig bitches around
the trees and pour in solution of
sulphate of iron in considerable
quantities, covering it with earth
AS apples are coming more and
more in demand for the export trade,
it would be of advantage to have ur
trees bearing every year, which is
not usually the case. The end can
be attained by thinning the fruit, by
manuring or cultivating MANFRED
crops among the young trees, and by
judiciOus pruning of superfluous
wood.
Do not leave, either upon the limbs
or upon the ground, the dead fruit
of the season, rendered worthless by
fungi. Nothing could produce "A

CENTREvILLE, Jan. 24.-Yesterday
was lively day for Centreville, a
large number of people coming to
town. Centreville is the main ship
ping point on this line of the Nash
vile, Chattanooga & st. Louis Rail
road. There were seventeen car
loads of hogs shipped from here this
week and about eleven car loads of
cattle. Huddleston Bros. shipped
four car loads yesterday. In the
bunch of cattle there were two that
weighed 1910 pounds. There is not
a county east of the Tennessee River
that raises more or finer hogs and
cattle than Hickman. -.-..

Agriculture.

If we would succeed in growing
large wheat crops we must study the
fertility of the soil, the proper depth
to break it, its preparation, and the
proper amount of seed to sow.
Afterward not very much of the
responsibility rests upon us.
The farmer who only believes in
raising corn for the ears and allows
the stalks to go to waste, is far be-
hind the times. No matter how
abundant the stalks, it is his bust
ness to save them for his cattle and
to procure cattle sufficient to con-
sumo them. .II.......
While there may be but little
plant food in dry weeds, stalks or
coarse litter, and may not add much
to the fertility if plowed under, they
will help to keep the soil loose and
friable, not only making it easier to
work but will afford better oppor-
tunity for the roots of plants to pene-
trate it.
1t is not practical to put manure
in cold storage, nor to build houses
for it. The best we can do is to put
the fresh manure on the land.
There is no loss from sun drying,
and when the rains come they will
wash it into the soil, where the fer
ments can reduce it into plant food
1t is hardly question with those
who study the prices from year tC
year that the farmer who sells his
grain in the fall or winter sue.
ceeding the harvest gets more for IL
than he who holds it longer for the
sake of better prices. The losses
upon wheat crops held over some
years are enormous.

Agricultural and Live Stock Department.

A Western farmer, having kept
about 200 sheep on his 200 acre farm
for the past 20 years, now desires TO
sell the flock because his land has
become too rich to raise flax, wheat
or other of the small grains. This is
surely an unusual reason.
Pay good price for ram rather
than have a poor one as gift. The
farmer who then takes good care of
his sheep is generally satisfied with
the breed he has, while he who
starves his flock and provides no
proper shelter for them is ever look
ing for a better breed.
Corn Is the most available feed,
and may be fed to advantage alone,
provided a sufficient amount of laxa-
tive coarse feed be added, such as
clover hay; but for fattening sheep
better ration is half corn and half
barley, or add to the corn rye and
oats.
If you have 800 with which to buy
sheep, buy a few good ones rather
than lot of culls; do not let the
| butcher Gull your flock; do not keep
! your SrdudIleo lull VI 81 an anu NV
feed it; do not permit the sheep to
stay out in cold storms; do not ex-
pect heavy fieeces and good lambs
from ewes wintered on straw.
A good, vigorous ram can be bred
to large number of ewes, and if he
be of good breed, well cared for
during growth, so as to procure a
good development, and then care
fully managed during breeding sea-
son, he will improve every lamb in
the flock.

more unhealthful condition, for
these furnish for the fungi which at
tack them precisely the most ia
vorable soil for further and complete
development.
If properly stored in cool place,
the loss from shrinkage and the rot
ting of fruit will be comparatively
small. With the planting of or
chards, therefore, of any size, there
should also be the erection of cold
storage house, on plan either sim
pie or elaborate, as can be afforded.
Some things which should have
been done in November and Deem
Der may not yet have been attended
to: perhaps the grape vines have not
been trimmed nor covered. Our
winters are not only likely to dry
the canes, bnt also to injure the
roots of the vines. A layer of stable
litter in November is very helpful.
Currants and gooseberries should
receive heavy mulch of coarse man
ure in the fall, and will well repay
the attention. Raspberries and
blackberries also appreciate such
care. 1t is guard against drOuth,
and induces richer yield of fruit.
There is usually not sufficient
pruning of peach trees. They often
consist of two or three bare limbs,
with little tufts of leafy branches at
the ends. There is but little fruit
is hard to get at; the limbs are ever
in danger of splitting away. This is
no way to grow peach tree.
For an Usage hedge plants should
be set out II to Is inches in height,
and not over Is inches apart. Closer
planting tends to undesirable dwarf
ing. AS to time, the last half of
April is to be chosen, although any
time in May will do.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1897-01-29
Horses.

Breeding and raising of average
farm horses can not be considered
profitable at present prices, yet
farmers have more or fewer of them,
and it is hardly good economy to
allow them to run down now, especi-
ally when it is remembered that all
they lose now will have to be made
up later on.
Comfortable quarters, regular feed
ing, watering and grooming make it
certain that the food necessary to
keep horses in a good condition can
be materially lessened, and this, of
course, means a less cost in winter
ing. Loss of condition with any
class of stock meaDs a double loss,
for it is double the cost to redeem It.
1t is better economy to own a
brood mare worth $500 than it is to
keep five brood mares representing
the same amount of investment, as
the produce Of the one mare, when
bred to the right horse, will sell for
more than the product of the five
common mares, and it takes just
one-fifth the care and feed to keep it.
Bred for long generations with
wide chests, strong loins and legs,
Shire horses are very essential
part of the machinery of large cities.
English horses were descended from
many different stocks, so that by
suitable breeding of different tribes
exactly the sort of horse required
might be produced.
Every stallion in France standing
for public service must have a
Government veterinary certificate.
Veterinary inspection will drive out
unsound stations by requiring
every stallion in our own country to
have State certificate, and farmers
will, as a class, readily pay more for
the service of a horse warranted to
be sound.
