Making Dairy Cows.

In breeding to secure good dairy
cows the important factors are breed,
feed, and management, and good
results can not be expected if either
of these be neglected. Breeders are
apt to rely too exclusively on breed,
but many well-bred animal has
proved failure as a milk cow for
lack of attention to the other two
points named. When a heifer is
we'll bred for milk the foundation is
laid, but the superstructure remains
to be erected. If during calfhood
she is fed on fattening foods, there
will be an early established tendency
to turn food into flesh that is in
consistent with good milking
quality. If she is not early accus-
toned to an abundance Of coarse
forage, she will grow up with un-
developed stomach capacity and
this, too, is fatal to the milking
character. If she does not receive
the care and management necessary
to her comfort and the develop
ment of milking power, the pedigree
behind her will amount to very
little in making q good milking
animal. We see every day good
beef calves with beef heredity be-
hind them spoiled in feeding and
management, and in like manner
good, inherited milking possibilities
may never reach fruition because of
the failure of the owner to feed and
develop in such way as to make a
good mixer of the possibilities
breeding has furnished.

FOR THE FARMER,


One of the first items to look
after is the breeding animals. The
ram should be a thoroughbred of
some standard breed-a mutton
breed preferably. He should be of
good size, we'll matured, vigorous
and thrifty, superior to the ewes
and possessing the vigor 10 impress
the merits of his breed upon bis
offspring. The ewes should he of
good size, thrifty and vigorous, not
too old, nor should they he too
young.
The mating should be planned so
that the lambs will come not later
than the LIST of January, so as to
give them plenty of time to grow
and fatten by the time the market
opens.
Both the ewes and the ram should
be in thrifty, gaining condition
when they are bred. If there is a
considerable number of ewes, and
only one ram, it ia the safest and
best to follow the single service
plan, but where there is only a
small flock allowing the ram to run
with the ewes will do.
As it is important that the ewes
be kept thrifty, good supply Of
feed to use during the Winter must
be looked after. Good clover OF
millet hay, cut before it is ripe, and
properly cured, unthreshed oats
cut in good season, with mill feed
and some corn, can all be used tc
good advantage in feeding during
during the Winter. Now is the
time to be looking after the clover
and oats, and a little later the mil
let.
Later on it will pay to SOW a
patch of rye convenient to the
sleeps quarters. It will supply
green pasturage earlier than almos,
any other crop that can be grown
and will help materially in ena
bling the ewes to furnish plenty o
milk for the lambs.
Good, dry shelter is also neces

sary. If the ewes are to be kept in
good condition with the least
trouble, and at the lowest cost, it
will be necessary to provide shelter,
so that they may be protected from
cold and storms from the time the
nights get cold in the Fall.

Among the Poultry.

Among the Poultry.
Give one feed OF sound grain daily.
Oats as single food will tend to
lessen fat.
Before fattening, goslings are
rather tender.
Sell off all the old hens and sur
plus cockerels.
For layers, pullets and 2-year-old
hens are the best.
The best layers are generally in
different table fowls.
Disinfect the poultry-house thor
oughly with carbolic acid.
Nests lined with tobacco leaves
prevent all trouble with lice.
Goslings grow more rapidly than
any other kind of farm fowl.
The best layers will nearly always
be found to be the active ones.
Keeping useless ROSTERS is like
keeping hens that do not lay.
Egg-eating may easily be induced
by idleness and close confinement.
Send layers to roost with their
crops full to carry them over night.
Never give layers soft feed enough
to gorge them or make them lazy.
A full-grown goose picked regu
larly will yield pound of feathers.
One way of making poultry pay
is always to have something to sell.
Painting the inside of the poultry
house with gas tar will free it from
lice.
Chickens fatten faster on cooked
food than on raw, because it is easier
digested.
1t is a help in fattening fowls
rapidly to keep them as quite as
possible.
Carefully save the scraps from
the table and feed them to the lay
ing hens.
A dull, sunken eye shows defect
i've nutritive power and lack of con-
stitutional vigor.
Though turkeys are good foragers
it will not pay to let them go with
out proper feeding daily.
The nests should never be fasten-
ed to the hen house in such a man
ner that they cannot be taken down.
| Keep young chickens growing
now, SO that they will have sufficient
vitality to withstand hot Summer
weather.
A good remedy for blood feathers
is -four OF sulphur with butter, given
in pill the size of a pea few times,
until they mott.
While good breeds are desired for
profit the best kind will be profitless
without good management, and
good management is the result OF
! careful study.

Preserving Eggs.

When eggs are very low in price,
as they often are in Summer, fair
profit may be made by packing
away and keeping them until late
in the Fall or early in the Winter.
No process of storing will keep eggs
so that they can be sold as fresh
eggs, but they will always sell
rather less than good, fresh eggs
are selling at. This should always
be understood when undertaking a
plan of keeping them. There are
a number of processes that will
keep eggs in sufficiently good
condition, 80 that they can be used
for cooking, but they should not be
packed away with the expectation
that they will sell as well as fresh
eggs.
Eggs that are fertile will not keep
we'll by any process. Still they
may be kept for some time by put
ting them on racks in a cool place
and turning them half over every
other day. 1t will, therefore, be'a
good plan to take away the roosters
when it is proposed to pack the
eggs. In ten days after removing
the cocks the eggs will be infertile.
Only strictly fresh eggs can be
kept with safety, and in packing
them care must be taken to see that
the eggs do not touch each other,
as one bad egg will spoil the whole.
The eggs must be kept cool. Six
ty degrees is the best temperature;
and better results will be secured if
they are kept in a dark place.
They should be turned half over
twice a week, otherwise the yolks
will adhere to the shells.
They may be packed in salt, coal
ashes, oats, chaff or bran. What
ever material is used care must be
taken to have it perfectly dry;
dampness induces mustiness.
Cottonseed oil or lard may be
used to grease the eggs slightly be-
fore packing, in order to prevent
evaporation.
Lime-water, or rather whitewash,
before the lime is allowed to settle,
is very good preventative. If
every part of the egg can be COW
cred whitewash will preserve it.
The principal objection to this plan
is the difficulty in covering and
keeping covered every part Of the
shell.
The objection to what is known
as the sulphuring process is that it
discolors the shells.
No matter what method is fol-
lowed it is better to try it first on a
small scale, being careful to follow
directions. When success is made
on a small scale it is safe enough
to risk larger number.

SOME FLORIDA CANDIDATES.
THOSE WHO ASPIRE TO THE GU

They Seem to BE Talking and Writ

a correct verdict.
But now that Banker w. S. jennings,

seems to be that he lis in it with bvtl

offered in relation 10 affairs of state w-u1d,
if put into effect largely increase public eN-
penditures, which would necessioate the
levyiug of more taxes upon the people, VINO
are everywhere demanding that the burden
of taxation be made lighter.
When Mr.. Jennings referred to the great
surplus of 100000 constantly carried IN Ine
state treasury, he only made public eN-
position of his lack of reliable 1nlo. mate
upon that particular subject.
The state treasurer is custodian of sew
eral special funds here, designated as
State Funds" only one of which, the
General Revenue Fund can be drawn
upon for the ordinary expenses OF the
state government. The other funds are
for specific purposes, and the money IN
each SPECIAL fund can only be used for the
purpose for which it has been designated
by the act making the appropriation.
On the first day of January last, the
state treasurer reported SPA, $500 in the
general revenue fund. During January
there was paid $4,000 interest due on the
state debts which reduced that fund to
Sl34000 in round numbers. Out of this
amount the current STATE expenses for the
first quarter of 1899 had to be paid. This
reduced the general revenue fund to about
100000 With the expenses of a leglsla-
tive session, commencing with the second
quarter of the year, to be met, and SlOO,OOO
is about the correct sum to pay the usua,
expenses of $4,000 for the session. and the
remainder for whatever appropriation may
be made.
Four days ago Nov. l, $4,000 was the
amount in the general revenue fund, the
only money available for the current eX-
penses of the state government, and to
pay that $4,000 interest falling due every
January, and so it goes year after year.
So that immense surplus cons antly
kept in the state treasury would seem to
be a myth.
