COTTON AND CATTLE.

Some long-headed Texas farmers
who are carried away by the present
high price of cotton and the conse-
quent OverprOduction which will en-
sue, are buying small punches Of
COWS and good bull. They are go
ing into diversified agriculture, and
see in stock raising a productive in
dustry that is likely to remain per-
manent and surer in it's results tha n
the system of all cotton. A few
acres Of cotton under better manage
ment will give more profitable re-
turns than the system now pursued,
while the receipts from the cattle
will be almost clear gain.-American
Agriculturist.

Holstein that consumed more than
double the feed. Of course these re-
suits are due to the use a cow makes
of her food, whether it is devoted to
milk making, to growth or flesh, and
not all COWS of the same breed even
are alike in these respects.-Farm,
Stock and Home.
1t is the work of wise dairy papers,
dairy schools, experiment stations
and all the machinery of modern
dairy education, remarks Hoard s
Dairyman, in commenting upon this,
to get men who keep COWS to con-
slider the cost of producing butter,
according to the COW that yields it.
Here is one of the big secrets of max
ing money with COWS. Yet, it is a
secret that host of farmers will not
consider. Ask such men what they
want in cow and want of her and
they will tell you by their actions,
which speak louder than words,
about as follows:
"You see my COWS only yield about
$50 pounds of butter apiece, in a
year, so don't want butter. They
only yield $500 to 5000 pounds of
milk year, so don't want milk.
But you see after have kept them
seven to ten years and they have run
me in debt in that time, maybe fifty
dollars, they will fatten up we'll and
1 can sell them for beef. OF course,
1 have lost more than will ever get
but think how nice they look -

A GOOD WAY TO PUT IT.

There is one thing to consider in
selecting d COW for the dairy-what
will she charge for the butter she
produces? Breed, size, appetite,
quantity of milk given must all be
subOrdinated to this one factor, cost
of production. This is demonstrated
by Prof. Hacker, and reported in his
late and great bulletin, in his herd
record during one period of lactation.
One Jersey, for instance, consumed
food valued at only S17.S9, but her
butter cost $40 cents per pound. A
grade ShorthOrn consumed still less
feed, but all she could eat to advan-
tage, S16.54; but she charged S.44
cents for her contribution to a pound
of butter A cross bred Jersey
Guernsey ate S2O.59 of food, but
charged only 392 cents for a pound
of butter. One Holstein consumed
$22.O5 of food and furnished butter
at III cents a pound, while another
one OF the same breed got away with
food to the amount of S31 Sc, nearly
so per cent. more. but furnished but
ter at cost of sos cents. A native
COW consumed food to the value of
Sl4.fo only, but charged 6.79 cents a
pound for butter, or more than the

COW PEA HAY FROM sTUBBLE LAND.


The larger part of the following
article has already appeared in The
Progressive Farmer, but as the whole
article is worth reading, and that we
have already printed worth repeat
ing, we give it in full herewith:
1t may be of interest and some
benefit to Southern stockmen and
planters to recount here the expert
ence of the writer in growing a catch
crop of pea hay from stubble land.
The wheat was taken off as early as
possible after harvest, and in June
the land was turned and we'll har-
rowed and rolled, the season being
favorable for such work. Whip
poorwin peas, a bushel to the acre,
were sown with an ordinary wheat
drill. The seed being defective, the
stand was not good, but tie growth
was rapid and promised a rich crop
of grain. AS harvest time approached,
the thought occurred to the writer
that, while there might be medi-
um-sized crop of good hay secured
from the land, cut and put away in
the usual manner, there should be
more of the grain saved and utilized
than is possible when the crop is
handled as ordinary hay, knowing
from past Observatirn that much, if
not most, of the grain is scattered
and lost by the time the hay reaches
the feed manger. If peas are to be
our dependence in the future, in the
absence of clover, we must discover
the best method of reaping the great
est benefit from their production.
The crop was permitted to stand be-
fore cutting a few days longer than
it would have been for making hay,
so as to give a greater proportion of
the pods time to ripen, 1t was then
cut with a mower and let lie iii the
hot sun thirty six hours, when it
was thrown into light windrows with
a hay rake, the raking being done
after sunset, sometimes by moon
light, when the plant was tough, to
avoid shattering the leaves and grain.
After remaining in the windrOws
twenty-four hours, it was thrown
into small cocks and left exposed to
the sun and-air for thirty-siX hours
longer, when it was loaded on wagons
and taken to the barn, No thresher
suitable for work being available,
the crop was run through the silage
cutter. The cutter had a shredder
attachment, but this, requiring too
much speed, was removed and the
cutter knives used as with silage. To
save the thrashed peas separately
from the stOver was the next prob
lem encountered, For this purpose
a section eight feet long was cut out
of the bottom of the carrier and a
suitable wire screen tackled in place
of the solid bottom, which allowed
the peas to drop through into a
wagon bed, on the ground under
meath, while the pea stover was car
ried on up Sc feet into the barn loft,
where it was we'll scattered and
mixed with other dry feed.
If it were possible again to grow
such fine drops of clover on the lands
in Tennessee, and elsewhere in the
South, as we secured years ago, the
questions discussed and experiences
given in this paper would be of less
Importance than they are now. But
as this cannot be done, and as the
COW pea has come to be regarded as
the substitute for clover, for the
purpose of fertilizing and renovating

VALUE OF CLEAN MILK.

Correspondence of The Progressive r FaFIlleT'
Cleanliness in milking may seem
an old subject often touched upon,
and yet it is of as much Importance
now as ever. In fact, l consider 1t
one of the most important subjects
in the dairy category.
The great value of milk as hu-
man food, lies not only in its inherent
purity of quality, but also in the alb
solute natural purity of its flavor.
This characteristic, transmitted in
the manufactured state to butter
and cheese, does more than anything
else to commend them to the good
will of the consuming public.
1t is simply preserving the quality
of the tactical flavor as it comes nat
ural from the udder. A very easy
thing it looks at first glace, and yet
unless especial pains are taken to
keep it pure, milk is pretty apt to
become contaminated in some way
or other to its detriment.
The regular daily purity OF milk
cannot be insured unless a systematic
treatment is accorded it, beginning
before it's withdrawal from the COW.
First. there must be clean stable
surroundings, and a clean COW. That
is, she must be kept dry-bedded, all
loose hair removed, and the udder
brushed prior to milking. By using
a curry comb gently on COW, the
skin will be stimulated, the hair at
tain firm growth and gloss, and but
little dandruff scale off. Most COWS
love to be brushed and curried also.
Then again, the man who sits down
to a COW with unclean hands is a
slovenly mixer, and has no proper
place in the dairy.
He who dips his fingers in the
froth of the milking pail, and strips
the teats throuth the resulting CRIME,
has reached the acme of f1lthiness in
a mixer, and yet have seen many
a hired man do it surreptitiOusly.
A dairyman must be ever on the
alert against such things in his hired
help, and law down rules of cleani-
ness, the observance of which is
strictly enjoined. 1t is often said,
Never leave for any length of time
a pail of fresh-drawn milk in the
stable, lest it absorb odors."
This is good advice, but at the
same time, should there rightly be
any bad odors to absorb? I believe
if there were more clean sweet
stables, there would be more sweet
pure milk.
Still another point. Not enough
stress is usually placed upon thor
ough aeratiOn of freshly drawn milk.
Milk should be aerated before it has
been allowed to cool in bulk, or bad
unnatural f1avors from smother
ing" will be generated. To let milk
cool before being exposed in minute
quantities to pure air, is a very bad
dairy practice.
Either dipping, or running the
warm fluid through an aerator from
a height, should be employed, and
the latter method if thoroughly car
ried out, is preferable. Aeration
both purifies and cools.
AS a would-be successful dairy
man, always keep in mind the com
mercial as we'll as intrinsic value of
the sweet natural flavor of milk and
it's products. GEO. E. NEWELL.
To keep the milk COW up to her
The progressive farmer., 1900-07-03

To keep the milk COW up to her
most liberal production she must be
kindly treated. Anything that I'M
duly exercises her or a condition OF
discomfort caused by extremely hot
or cold weather or rain will promptly
show its effects in diminished Yield.

Thomas G. Newman, late editor of
the American Bee Journal, said of
the Italian bee:
"They have longer tongues and
gather honey from flowers where
black bees cannot.
"They are more Industrious and,
with the same opportunity, will
gather much more than the blacks.
They work earlier and later in the
day, as we'll as in the season, and
often gather stores when the blacks
are idle.
"They are better to guard their
hives against robbers, and are proof
against the bee moth s larvae.
"They are more prolific in the
spring and less liable to breed in the
winter than the black bee.

ously to their combs. They are
amiable, and it is easy to manipulate
them"

the soil, and for furnishing food for
live stock, the planters and stock
growers in thes States are compelled,
by self-interest, to study the ques-
ton i'll all of it's bearings, in order to
ascertain the best manner of cult
waiting and saving this crop. And
the question is made more import
ant by the fact that this substitute
is so varied in its useful purposes
and capable of serving the planter in
so many different kinds of cOmbina-
tions with his other farm crops. The
writer s advocacy of the COW pea for
the needs of the South, and his
reasons for growing and using it in
so many ways are not based on a
study of any scientific analysis Civ
ing it's comparative feeding value
for stock. He has been content in
consulting only the good effect the
plant has produced for him, as shown
in the marked improvement of the
soil, the continued good health of
his cattle, and their increase, and the
quality and quantity of their pro-
duct at the pail and churn. All of
which observations and experiences
lead to the belief that no single grain
of the plant was ever cast intelli-
gently into Southern soil without
profit to the sower.-United States
