In paper read before the Kane county,
ILL.,, institute recently, by ii. b. Gweler,
he laid down the following formula re-
lating to dairying and farming in con-
nection:
Apply the individual test to your cows
and weed out the improbable ones.
More intelligent work in crop growing.
Grow 100 bushels Of corn per acre. Some
have done this and more can do 1t. I
tried and failed but consider my failure a
success. as 1 produced SO bushels per
acre.
Grow more clover. Grow it for hay, for
pasture. grow it to fertilize our land and
At 1t to produce 100 bushels of corn per
acre. Remember that Queen Glover is
while she is small in growth In compari-
son with King Corn, she produces nearly
as much per acre Of the most valuable
nutritive element (nitrogen) as King

what she has stored in the soil her lord
and master King Corn-I am sometimes
nearly persuaded that the queen Is of
much underestimated, without doubt.

| Supply pure water. Fence the stock
away from the stagnant and impure
| water
Provide plenty of light and fresh air
for the stables. If you have no system of
ventilatfon-put in one. 1t need not be
K expensive.
Demand and secure a high grade of
work from your mixers. Discharge man
that persists In being unkind to the cows.
secure pure atmosphere about milk,
cream and butter.
Establish a business-like system about
all the work.
Feed ensilage after milking.
Don't have the hog pen too near the
COWS as Its aroma at times Is alarming.
Raise the heller calves from the COWS
that produce 300 to 500 pounds of butter
annually.
Don't forget that a better dairy calf
can be grown on skim milk than on whole
milk, and at much less cost.
Remember that the greatest cause of

| For twelve years previous to 1897 but
| ter has gradually declined in price until
| 1t seemed to have struck bottom In 1897.
| The year 1893 the average price was n
| little higher, only a fraction of a cent,
however Owing to butter being made
| over such large territory it does not
| ftuctuate In value so much as some farm
products, and particularly those kinds
| raised in some favored locality
| The man who produces milk is about
| the only one, of all the different special
ties produced on the farm, who can tell
| just about how he Is coming out at the
! end Of the year. He knows there will be
| about so much cold weather, and he pro-
vides for this by stabling the cows In
warm, comfortable barns. He knows,
too, that there will be hot, dry time in
summer, when flies and short feed re-
duces the yield, so he looks out for this
| by having supply of feed to help out the
| pasture. He knows his cows and about
what they will do. 80 he can calculate
on about how much money they will bring
| him by the end Of the year. This other
| specialists can not do, as there are SO
many little Ifs" in the way that he can
neither determine the yield nor the price
| AS means to guide the da1ryman we

its value out or not.
