Cheap Butter or Veal.

A writer in the National Stockmdn
takes up the subject OF veal producuon
and argues that IT is more profitable to
grow veal during the period of low
priced butter than to make the milk in
10 butter. We know of several dairy
men already who follow this pr4ciice
with success. They buy ell the calves
that are brought TO them by the milk
producers of the vicinity and as last as
fattened their places are taken by other
caves obtained in The same way. The
writer referred to says:
"The trade in fne veal, which is en-
largiug, could be increased much beyond
its present limits by supplying a high
grade article for the market. / am not
aware that the dis inclion is made in
American markets regal ding the quail
~ OF veal which is made in some Euro
pean countries, notably in Holland.
But no doubt the time will come when
this feature of the dairy industry will
receive the attention from us which is
now being given to it elsewhere.
ut is considered by experts that
those veels are finest which not only
carry a considerable quantity of fat
bat which also show no indications of
having received any other food than
whole milk. The whites of the eyes,
the eytlds, and inside of the lips, If
The animal has had an exclusive m TX
diet, should be pure white. Any tinge
OF colorng in thtse parts indicates the
effect of solid foods.
Whether it will pay to convert into
cheap butter ins' cad of putting it into
prime veal will depend entirely, OF
course, upon the prices of the two
products and the relation one bears to
the other. II is stated by authorities
that eight pounds of milk will produce
one pound of grain in a calf. This
means that at present prices OF five and
three-fourth cents for veal a hundred
pounds of milk would bring seventy
two cents if put into veal. With butter
at seventeen and one half CT nls, netting
the producer about fourteen and one
half cents. hundred pounds of milk
made into butter would be worth about
sixtv five cents. This difference in
prt fits points strongly in favor of veal
e pecia lY as the price of butter will, in
all probability, decline markedly in the
next six or eight weeks, while the price
of veal will probably not go lower.
Hence it appears that large quaint
ties of milk which will be made into
poor, cheap butter this summer migh
much better be turued into veal. n
only would the raising of prime yea
b ne6t the producer in the way We
have shown, but it would also lievC
the butter market of just 80 much but
ter, with lis tendency 10 depress an al
ready overcrowded market"

Buttermilk for Swine.

"Buttermilk, if handled properly"
says Professor Henry, sis enc of the
very best feeds for swine. The mild
Tactic acid at churning time, or shortly
after, probably improves butiefmilk as
feed for pigs, for only a little of the
sugar is broken up to form the acid.
The Tactic acid in the milk renders it
pslalable and seems TO have favor
able action on the digestive tract.
Since but,ermilk is rich in protein,
corn is conf Elementary food and prob
ably the most economical substance to
feed with it. Shorts or middlings are
likewise satisfactory, but hardly as eco
Domical. S nee these two are rich in
protein, corn is a compile meniary food
and much of that cost y ii, mt mt for
the most economical returns. Bran is
bulky, cha ff-like food that is not sat
isieclory for young pigs, but which
may be used with older animals, espe-
clslly where the food is not heavy and
it is desirable to give volume to the
feed. In some cases buterniik is held
in filthy vessels at the creameries and
in those still worse at the farm. When
this product undergoes a putrefacuve
fermentation it should not be used,
even for pig feeding"
Contagious diseases cannot be abso-
lu'ely prevented by the most healthy
sys EN- of feeding and caring for hogs,
but if they have plenty of healthy
food, good grazing and pure water,
they are lar bet err able to resist the
assaults of contagious disease and es-
cape the dangers of al y others.

Poultry Paid off the Mortgage.

At first / was discouraged and did
not zee how i could ever pay the mort
gage and feed and clothe my little fam
lily, AT this critical time my moth er
visited me and brought present of a
brown Leghorn hen and rooster. They
were placed in the empty henhouse
and fed on table scraps and kitchen
bits. The hen laid through the winter
and amply repaid for what she and her
mate ave. In April, b, coming broody,
l set twelve Brabma eggs and obtained
eleven chicks. These were brought up
by hand that the hen might continue
sitting. The second incubation re-.
suited in twelve chicks. Both broods
were rsistd without Il e lnss Of Oh OK
Elev:n Brsbmas and three Lcehorn
ROSTERS were sold at a profit OF SO 40.
Wrh ten hens the second winter b. gan
and from October / to April l SIS 70

BIshma eggs halchtd thirty eight
chicks, and later on, being reset with
two more, baicht d fifty nine Leghcrps.

first experience, and lost several, but
learned to care Tor them.
The fourth winter l kept four tur-
keys and fifty pullets, one pen being
light Br"hmas. These were fed as
were the l. 'ehorns, which caused them
to bee cone TOO fat to lay. l have since
found that by feeding very little fatty
food and keeping them at work they
can be made to pay as well, if not bet

was, my net proceeds were SO IL, and
again raised 22l chicks and tUrty-nine
turkeys, which netted $l77.47. In four
years the pair of hens That my mo her
gave me had been the means OF paying

Macon, Ga, has a little tot of girl
about 10 years cid who claims to be "a
military man. She has little uniform
and cap and styles herself captain
Jinks."
When the president issued his first
call for volunteers, she went one even
ing just after supper to Colonel Wiley S
residence on College street, and, ring
ing the bell waited.
As Colonel Wiley came out the little
captain planted herself right in the
middle of the door and, with IA West
Point salute, informed the colonel that
she was Captain Jinks of company
whose services were at his command
night or two ago, just after sup
per, she went to Colonel Wiley again
and seemed to be greatly troubled about
something After saluting him and then
looking down at the floor for second
or two she ventured:
Colonel Wiley, 1 am military
man, amt l? Then 1 want to ask
question. If die, can have a military
funeral? l want to have my body wrap
ped in the stars and stripes, and want
to have on "a cap, and l want the SOL
diers to march along with me on the
way to the cemetery, and | want them
to shoot their guns when 1 am laid in
the grave. want to know, colonel, if
can be buried that way, cause if
can't am going to unjoin right now"
The colonel comforted her as best he
could, and she ran away to her home,
perfectly satisfied to continue in the
service of her country. (Ga.)

Preparing Poultry for Market.

During the fall and early winter the
surplus stock will be going to market,
and as there is usually difference of
three cents a pound b,tween dressed
and undressed pou try perhaps some of
our readers will be anxious to know
how to prepare the fowls. To scald
the fowl is much the cleanest and
quickest mode, but buyers, for some
unaccountable reason, ,bjrct to them
when scalded. The pracLce is to hang
up the fowl by the legs, sticking it in
the throat through the mouth. Ia so
doing care must be exercised, and the
throat cut across with the knile, which
should be sharp, in order to sever the
veins, but under no circumstances mu t
the bird be cut on the outside. 1t
must be bled entirely through the
mouth. 1t is then picked as quickly as
possible, as the feathers always come
out easily when the body is warm
Pick the carcass clean, leaving the pin
feathers that may be omiltt d TO be flu
ished by an assistant. Then lightly

water, where it should remain about

AGRICULTURAL.
The Cheapest Fertilizers.

"The truth is, as any disinterested
scientific man will tell you, that ton
of stable manure, with ten pounds of
nitrogen, twelve pounds of potash and
ak pounds of phosphoric acid in 1t, Is
worth more 10 you in the end for farm
crops, as a rule, although, perhaps, not

number of pounds of these ingredients

want you TO grow clover, cow-peae
