Freauent Milking.

1t has been well established by nu-
merous experiments by scientists that
the longer time that elapses between
milkings the less solids will the cow
secrete in her milk. says Hoard's
Dairyman. Those who have made
tests of cows for purposes of competi-
ton have also noticed that COW will
give considerable increase in solids, as
well as in quantity of milk flow, If she
is MIXED three times a day instead Of
twice.
The physiological laws which influ-
ence and govern the flow of milk
should meet with much more study by
COW owners than is done. We are too
apt to go along in careless and indif-
ferent manner. forgetting that our sue
cess with the COW can be greatly in
creased or diminished thereby. Every
man who milks COW Is dealing with
one of the most complex and delicate
machines In existence. He ought to be
q sincere, earnest student Of the won
derful, varying forces, which may af-
feet that machine TO his profit or loss.

New Hybrid.

The Brazilian minister at Washing
ton has communicated to the United
States department the fact that Baron
de Parana in Rio Janeiro has succeeded
In producing a cross between the zebra
and the mare. hybrid which is much
larger and handsomer than the mule.
The male used Is what is known as
Burchell's zebra, a native of South AT
RIGA. which is naturally less wild and
more tractable than the mountain Ze-
bra and which has been so far domesti-
Gated as to work well in teams OF six,
eight or more together or with the
same number of horses, though 1t does
not work kindly singly or in pairs, as
in its native haunts II went in large
droves for protection against other
wild beasts. AS this zebra Is larger
than the ordinary jack and has shorter
ears. longer name and tail more like
horse and breeds readily with the
mare, great things are to be expected

Vegetables For Chickens.

Fowls that have free access to growing
small grain are all right on this sub

: FOR THE.
! FARMER.

The American farmer is responsible
for annual exports aggregating in val
ne $500, 100000 for cereals alone. This,
be il remembered. is after catering to
a very heavy home demand. The lar
gest single item Is furnished by wheat
Corn, cornmeal and -four contribute
the other parts. The last fiscal year
was a record one for -four. when 49,
49,. $40 barrels were shipped. The
number of bushels of wheat was $780,
49, SO. In 1891 the amount OF wheat
was 161 100000 bushels, which Is the
greatest total of which any account
is to be had. During 1878 the ex-
ports Of corn amounted TO 20S, 744, 900,
which was the record in that cereal up
to that time.
IL one wants to show stupendous re-
suits of agrarian labor, one should turn
to the figures given I'm the last annual
report of the New York Produce Ex-
change, which contains export figures
since 1881. when records were first
available. Since that year the value
of the cereals sent abroad from the
United States has footed up to over
$6,000.000. This means that some
thing like 4,300,00O,0O0 bushels of
wheat and corn have been sent out Of
the country to supply deficiencies in
the food products of European ma
tons.
There has been a gradual develop
ment in these GS years. with several
periods of very rapid expansion. For
instance. in the five years ended with
September. 1875. the amount of wheat
exported was only 614.l bushels.
The output Of -four In that interval
was 5,241 .964 barrels. BY 1865 the
wheat exports had risen to total Of
13S. 100000 bushels. Ten years later
they were 224,019,376 bushels. doubling
In the five year period following.
