Dairy.

AS soon as the milk is drawn from
the cow strain it; you will thus keep
the amount of dissolved filth at a
minimum.
The veterinary surgeon is often
necessary, but too often he lives in
the next township. Good care and
judicious feeding and watering are
generally a better dependence for
the dairyman.
The COW which is standing hump
ed up out by the straw stack will
never increase our products or our
profits. Just while we are treating
her so the prices and the profits
should be the highest.
Butter brings the lowest returns
about harvest time, and when the
farmer is busiest about other things.
The cows which calve in September
or October will give copiOusly all
winter, and will be as good as fresh
cows, almost, when the grass comes
in the spring.
More than people are aware does
success or failure hinge upon the
keeping of the cows warm and in
comfort. The wasting of extra food
maintenance should decide the
question with us.
Let the rich man waste his money
on poor cows if he chooses, but the
dairyman and the farmer cannot af-
ford to do SO. A poor man can not
afford to keep poor COW.
Milking can never be doce sue
cessfully by q machine; the me-
chanical operation may be there,
but the magnetism of the human
hama is wanting. The cow which
has become used to the touch of
one mixer will decrease her yield
when a strange hand takes hold of
her teats.
That COW which seems most
nervous" and more sensitive to
hurtful influences, as a rule, is a
cow of the better kind. This is
equally true whether her excellence
Is due to her breeding or to indi-
viduality. II such an organization
receives kind and intelligent care it
responds gratefully.

Self Culture.

Magazine readers cannot afford to
pass by the February number of Self
Culture, especially if they are look
ing for the largest amount of good
reading, well illustrated, and served
at the nominal price of ten cents 1t
will be refreshing, too, to many of
our readers to take up a magazine
that is not given up to the attenu-
ated descriptions of the exploits of
the Rough Riders" or to the glorifi-
cation of Sampson, Schley, and Hob
son, by themselves; and which has
not found it difficult to make up a
number of 1913 double-coulmn pages,
without chronicling the doings and
charms of actresses alleged to be
beautiful. We do not hesitate to eX-
press our belief that no other peri-
odical has offered more attractive,
instructive, and entertaining amount
of matter, nor higher average of
writers, than does self Culture this
month. Not the least attractive
feature, too, is the fact that it's mat
ter is always clean and wholesome.

A peach tree we'll cared for will
come into full bearing in three or
four years, and the cherry begins
almost at once, gradually increasing
to full crop. 1t is rare that an
apple orchard will do it's best until
10 years of age, though it may bring
few earlier. A grape vine will
begin its yield the year it Is set out.
Ammonia will yield the nitrogen
which house plants need. Put h
teaspOonful of it in the water used
for their regular refreshments.
A quick, easy and successful way
to protect the rose bushes from the
frost during the winter is to invert
over them common barrel, with
both heads knocked out, filling the
barrel with straw.
1t is good advice not to make the
dOOr-yard hIdeous by spreading
stable manure over IL during the
winter. Nitrate of soda is a good
fertilizer for the lawn, aud will

SWINE.

The poorest farmer can afford to
own at least share IN thorough
bred pig, and breed all his sOws to
it. Hogs breed so rapidly that there
is no excuse for any farmer to keep
those which are nongrel in their
origin.
Those who stick to hogs right
through have little reason to COM
plain of the result. The average is
good. In 10 years trial one should
dispose of his pork at 50 a hundred,
and careful record will probably
show this.
Neither is dishwater nor mOuldy
corn a substantial food for hogs, and
just anything which comes handy
will not bring them to profitable
market. Give the hogs as good care
as any other stock, and do not go on
the theory that anything is good
enough for a hog. The hog does not
think so himself, and will show you
what is what if he is given chance.
1t is better to feed two lots of pigs
to 200 pounds than one lot to 400; and
then there will be corn saved. Do
not be tempted by the large crop Of
corn to overdo the fattening. The
very fat hog is more liable to die,
too. Moreover, there are other
things than corn to be fed.
The days of the years of the hog
are few, and he is gone. Care for
him well and give him chance.
Give him decent place to eat and
to drink, and shelter him from the
summer sun and rain as we'll as from
the cold. Sprinkle ashes on his
sleeping floor to kill the tormentors
of his weary life. He Is tue money
maker on the farm, and nothing is
too good for his lordship-or hog
ship. Despite the ravages of cholera,
there is enough of him left every
year to enrich the farmer.

oughbreds on both sides the prize
winner is but the one among the
hundred.
There is not much haggling over
prices when the farmer offers the
city buyer the 1880 pound draft
horse; the continual cry is for more
of them. Even though farmer be
hard up, he should not listen to the
low offers made by spectators.
There will never be an OverprOduc-
ton of such animals.
Better treatment means better
horses. The same horses will have
different appearance in the hands
of different keepers. There is a
room for improvement in your
methods, however well you have
groomed and fed them, or with
whatever educated skill you have
handled them.
The maintenance of prices for
large, handsome horses should urge
us to breed for beauty.

This is lawyers story of his first
trial, in which "A farmer accused his
neighbor of stealing his ducks. The
lawyer was employed by the accus-
ed To convince the court that such
was not the case. The plaintiff was
positive that his neighbor was
guilty of the offense charged, be
cause he had seen his ducks in the
defendants yard.
How do you know they were your
ducks?" asked the lawyer.
II should know my ducks any

description of their various pecu-
liarities whereby he could dlstiu-
guish them.

That's not at all unlikely" ad-
mitted the farmer, "for they are not
the only ducks | have had stolen

1t was a blessing to both farmers
and horses when the street cars dis
carded their millions of the latter,
for the whole of them never paid for
their cost, being all from the scrub
class.
Every bicycle is stepping stone
to horse and buggy, and there were
never so many buggies and carriages
in our towns and villages as now.
Both fashion and cheapness have
much to do with this state of things.
Even i'm this day of small things
ne who takes a valuable horse to
the city market can come home
straightway with its price in his
pocket. Good horses are always
high, and this is truer than of any
thing else the farmer raises.
IL Is folly to hope for a prodigy
when breeding a scrub to a grade
horse. Even where there are thor

The character of the crop of chill
dren raised on the farm ought to
count for as much as the bank ac-
count, at least. The most profitable
farm is not necessarily that which
returns the most money.
The AK will cut better and will not
be so likely to nick if it is warmed
before it is used at the wOOdpile.
However dry the stalks and how
ever cold the day, you can husk corn
if you wear suitable mittens. They
can be made of common bed ticking.
Let them fit well, be made strong in
the palm and on the thumbs, and
gathered at the wrist with safety
pin, Clumsiness will soon give way
to confidence.
The best place for lime on the soil
is where there is plenty of vegeta-
ton, either from the upturned sod
or from stable manure; harrow it i'll
before planting a crop. 1t helps to
bring out the nitrogen and the pot
ash, although not in itself a fertlli-
ger. BY resultant mechanical ac-
ton clay soils will be made lighter
but 1t should rarely be used on sandy
ground.
Tho outlet for our surplus products
lies much in the control of the pro-
ducer. These products must come
in competition with those raised by
other people in more favorable cir
cumstances and by cheaper labor,
often, and success lies in the meri-
torious qualities of the things we
produce. When the Nations know
that the palm of superiority belongs
to Americans the battle is won.
When chopping in the timber,
save the nice, straight grained
pieces of white oak and hickory
and take them to the barn to season.
You will have many occasions to be
thankful for your torethought.

make the grass grow thickly and

AS a fertilizer for peaches the
mnriate of potash is better than the
sulphate. The actual potash in the
sulphate is more costly than that in
the muriate, and is no more valu-
able for either the wood or fruit
growth. 1t is well to mix raw bone
dust with the potash, in the proper
ton of two to one.

Small, we'll cared for focks will
bring their owners the most money,
just as little farm we'll titled is
more profitable than one of many
acres.
Chickens, turkey and ducks may
be kept on the farm at the same
time, without much trouble, but
when more than one kind of chick
ems are kept there is sure to be
bother at breeding time. There will
be always better results from one
variety.
To guard against roup in the
poultry house, have the windows so
arranged as to admit plenty of sun
shine, in order that the floors and
walls may be warmed and the
moisture evaporated. Pure air is
essential, but it must not enter in
draughts through the small cracks.
Keep the floor sprinkled with air
slaked lime, as it will tend to keep
the room dry and to check the
disease in the beginning.
We may consider the digestive
organs of the fowls in a healthy con-
dition when the droppings are hard
and a portion of them white.
Early chicks are the most easily
raised of the seasons hatch; they
are stronger, harder, and come to
laying maturity earlier in the fall and
make good winter layers. In March
and April have as many chickens
Matched as you can care for.
Be glad of any progress you may
have made, but not satisfied, He
who is content with any but the
best, and who is willing to stop any
where along the line of improve
ment with his flocks or his herds
and say that he has as good as he
cares for, must be content to halt a
long way below the level of fullest
prosperity.
Oftentimes the good prices for
poultry during the summer will
fully compensate us for not keeping
our surplus until they attain heav-
Ter weight in the autumn. When
raising the necessary pullets to
keep up the supply of winter eggs,
there will be raised as many more
cOckerels. If we can not eat them,
better sell them as fast as they are
large enough to get them out of the
way. and save food, care and room
which ought to go to the hens and
the pullets.
If your coops are overcrowded, it
is perhaps because you did not Gull
as you should have done as the win
ter set in. You have no business
with chicken which is not a source
Of profit, for they are cancelling
ayaru item Of prOfit from thOSe
which do pay. Prices are fair and
steady in the late fall, and the
worth of idle fowls should be filling
our pocket-boUks rather than that
the birds, themselves, should be
overcrowdimg the poultry houses.
The Toulouse goose yields the
heavier crop of feathers, but the
best are from the Embdens, as they
are entirely white. Two or three of
the Toulouse should yield us q pound
of feathers a yearr Either breed of
these geese often attain a weight of
20 or 20 pounds for single bird, and
no better cross for the market can
be found than a Toulouse gander
with an Embden goose.
Where fowls have free access to
grain bins, one evil result is that
when summer comes they will be
troubled with indigestion. III there
is no way to prevent this overfeed-
ing, at least shut up the fowls over
night, and do not let them free until
they have had breakfast Of scalded
| hot food. This will tend to counter
act bad effects, and will satisfy
them for a time.
