HERE AND THERE.

Strictly fresh eggs always bring
a good price, even when store eggs are
cheap. Farmers who sell eggs should
remember this and so arrange their
business as to market as the New York
Irishman is said to vote early and
often.
That breed of cows has not yet
been discovered which viii yield an
average quantity or quality of milk
when fed on dry straw, and little else,
yet there are some farmers who seem
to expect this.
The fact that it applies no hu-
mus TO the soil is one serious objection
to relying on commercial tilizer. even
if the plant food it contains could not
be obtained by the general farmer at
a less price in the form of feed.
That the dairy pays one man and
does not pay another on an adjoining
farm is evidence that the fault is in
the man. One could have no better
place to go to school than to strive to
locate the cause of the success OF the
one and the failure of the other.
I'm the summer the cows obtain
from the grass enough juice to make
the milk flow easily and IN large guam
titles. Dry feed, no matter how rich
or how much is given, can not give as
good results as succulent food. The
si1o is the proper thing 10 help u out
in this.

FreaI, Cows ys, strfppers.

There is an advantage In having
COWS fresh in milk at the beginning Of
winter as regards the amount of but
ter a dairy of fresh cows will afford
over herd that has been milked a
part or whole of the summer. More
products and better prices for it, Is
urged as among the advantages. While
this is true, so there are some other
things to be taken into account be-
fore a very radical change is made in
this direction. While the rule may be
that higher prices are obtained for
winter butter, the difference is not SO
great when we take into consideration
that it costs more on most dairy
farms to make butter in winter than
in summer. Figure as we may, good
summer pasturage affords the cheap
est butter producing food. But few
dairymen, as rule, feed grain
through the summer season to their
cows. A cow will give more milk on
grass alone than she will on dry fod-
der and grain, as average farmers feed
their cows. 1t is less work to care for
a dairy in summer than in winter, as
the markets have ranged for the past
five years the difference in price for
butter in winter over summer has
been but trife-Pr actical Dairyman.

dropped upon the lady's toilet.

FEEDING DAIRY cows.
grae secret OF Success with Animals
Lies in the farmers Ingenuity
and Ability.

Successful dairy feeding does not de-
pend wholly upon the kind of food used
OF the relative amounts OF each kind
fed, but it depends largely upon how
1t is fed and when it is fed.
The successful feeder will study the
rants Of his cows inst as much as 4 he
successful caterer studies the tastes
of his customers. He Will try to give
them their food In as palatable con-
dition as possible, though not neces-
sarily in what may be termed a fancy
style, which would be impractical. Hs
viii also see to the comfort Of his ani-
mails. This point we consider as being
directly in connection with feeding,
for q COW which liz uncomfortable must
necessarily use more of her feed for
bodily repair than she otherwise
would. No dairyman would ever think
OF using milk bucket which leaked,
yet there are many dairymen who,
during single winter, lose milk by the
pound through the cracks of their
stable. Such conditions must neces-
sarily increase the expenses and hence
lower the profit. 1t Is q pcint which
we consider most directly connected
with the subject of practical and sci
entife dairy feeding
Regularity in feeding is another inn
portant factor. Il cattle are fed at
certain times of the day, and only ut
those times as far as practical, they
will learn to expect it then and only
then. This will remove the uneasiness
often exhibited when persons enter
the stable or are working about them
at other times. 1t is also saving on
their digestive organs.
No permanent rule can be laid down.
by which to feed dairy cattle. No one
feed, no one way of feeding, or no one
amount of feed will suit all conditions
or all animals The true secret of sue.
cess in the business lies in the ability
and ingenuity of the dairyman HIM
self. He must be capable of deciding
what feeds he can use and how he can
use them to produce the greatest
amount of his particular product
milk, etc.-of best quality and with
least expense. Unless he is in the
business for fun, his profits will be his
success, and SO he must work for that
end.-Barnum's Midland Farmer.

think this pretty liberal ferti1izfng,
more especially as it is often claimed
that the corn crop responds less read
lily to fertilizers than most any other
crop. Such has not been our experi-
ence. Commercial fertilizers, If used,
at all, should be used in adequate
quantity TO supply the needs Of the
crop. Applications of 200 pounds of q
low grade fertilizer per acre annually,
will starve any land to death, impov-
erish the owner, and oftentimes
4cuss fertilizers, those vino manu-
facture them, and those who recon-
mend their use. These homeopathic
doses of an inferior article cannot be
too often or too strongly condemned.
For the oats, a complete fertilizer, in
which nitrogen and potash preponder-
ates, is needed. Cotton seed meal
800 pounds, muriate of potash 100
pounds. and acid phosphate 200
pounds, with q top-dressing OF SO to
100 pounds of nitrate of soda IN spring,
will give good results onall light sandy
or well-worn soils, when all other in
auencing 1r controlling factors favor.
Throughout the entire south, we no
tice tendency among farmers to
purchase Kainit In preference to the
other salts of potash, we presume, be-
cause it is lowest in price per ton. A
ton of kainit at $13 is dearer than q
ton of muriate at$45; while the freight
on each would be the same, the form
er would contain but 240 pounds Of
pure potash to the ton, while the lat
ter is half potash, or 1000 pounds to
the ton. On the score of economy, IL

tanned and need not be expected, in
its absence, or without its aid; hence
nothing should be burned that can be
turned under by the plow. The best
use we have found for stable manure,
rskings and scrapings of lot, cowpen,
etc, is to use them in top-dressing the
poorer spots of the farm, thereby
bringing up and increasing. the aver
age. Wheat, followed by peas, might
be made to take the place of the oats,
in above rotation; or, better still, both
might be raised: but until we have.
greater facilities in the country for
harvesting, threshing and grinding,
we see but little inducement or en-
couragement to sow either. Think of
cutting with the cradle, threshing out
over a barrel, and then hauling the.
grain 10 miles to the nearest Touring
mill to get it ground. That is the
chance now. We hope we may be par
doned for preferring to take ours in
