Mr.. Major, the famous cement man,
OF New Y DIRK. explains some very int
eresting facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this stand
ard article know that it is many hun
dred per cent. better than other ce-
ments for which similar claims are
made, but a great many do not know
why. The simple reason is that Mr..
Major uses the best materials ever
discovered and other manufacturers
do not use them, because they are too
expensive and do not allow large
profits. Mr.. Major tells us that one
of the Elements of his cement costs
So. 75 a pound, and another costs $3.50
a gallon, while IA large share of the
sO-called cements and liquid glue up
on the market are nothing more than
sixteen cent glue, dissolved in water
or citric acid, aud, in some cases, alt
cred slightly in color and OdOr by the
addition of cheap and useless mate
rials,
Majors cement retails at fifteen
cents and twenty-five cents bottle,
and when a dealer tries to sell a sub
stitute you can depend upon it that
his only Object is to make larger
profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as
much rs any dealer ought to make on
any cement. And this Is doubly true
in view of the fact each dealer gels
his share of the benefit of Mr.. Major IS
ad vertising. which now amounts tn
over $1,000 month. throughout the
country: Established in 1876.

The Dairy.
VALUE OF REGULAR MILKING.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Cows are creatures of habit, and
the habits of their owners are re
fected in their milk yield. The
dairyman who milks his COWS at a
regular hour night and morning,
will secure an eighth or tenth more
milk from them than though there
was a variation of an hour or two in
the milking hours every day.
The writer has seen this particu-
larly tested to his satisfaction on
some large dairy farms in Central
New York. The methodical dairy
men, "as regular as clock work.
came out ahead every time.
Right now, at the beginning of the
active dairy season, is the best pos
sible time to put this rule of regular
ity into practice. Dairymen should
make it a rule, say to milk their
COWS at six o'clock in the morning
and six o'clock at night. After this
rule has been once established on the
premises, it should be like the laws
of the Modes and P~ersians, unalter-
able and respected accordingly. 1t
is such a common occurrence to let
other farm duties interfere with the
regular care and milking of COWS,
that it may be hard to make some
believe who ought to know better,
that strict adherence to method has
anything to do with dairy success
1t can safely be set down that if a
man is conducting what he calls
''mixed farming" and dairying is a
part Of the mixture" that his COWS

tive, but it is a fact that a COW weigh
ing 1000 pounds and limited to 80
pounds of silage, as the ration sug-
gested, will, in many instances, CON
sumo ten pounds of pea vine hay a
day, as we have proven by actual
test. Since your correspondent
seems to think that I am a theorist,
I might say that I spent twenty
years of my life on a farm where
milk production was n of the chief
objects kept in view. l have done
every kind of work connected with
the dairy and know something of the
practical side of the balanced ration
question and of the care and feeding
of the dairy cow.
5. did not suggest corn meal and
oats for North Carolina beeves, but
I did suggest oats for young calves
and growing stock, and it has been
repeatedly demonstrated that they
are the feed par excellence for young
stock. Again, the press bulletin was
not supposed to apply to all condi-
tiOns in North Carolina it was in
tended primarily for Tennessee con
ditions, and oats, as you are aware,
r a crop of considerable import
ance in this State and are likely to
be of much greuter Importance in
the near future.
6. With regard to cotton seed meal
and hulls, l admire their virtures as
well as any person, but it has been
demonstrated during my connection
with the Texas Experiment Station
that the addition of sorghum hay to
the ration Of meal and hUlls is a de-
cided advantage and that in order
to secure the best quality of beef
and to finish the cattle for the Chi
Gag markets, it is necessary to feed
corn meal through the last two or
three months of the feeding period.
Z. 1 agree with your correspond
ent that everything which can be
raised on the farm should be raised
to feed. We must raise more stuff
for feed and feed more animals, for
it is the only way in which we can
secure the necessary material to
build up and reclaim our wOrnout
farms.
Trusting that these statements
will be taken in the spirit in which
they are made, I am,
Very respectfully,

can be made to pay more in proper
ton than any of his other agricul-
tura1 interests. This will not be
consummated, however, under ordi-
nary care and usage. He must give
his mich cattle extraordinary atten-
ton in order to reap the benefit of
their full capabilities.
This 'smixed farming" business, of
which dairying is supposed to form
an integral part, is the cause of a
whole lot of inferior COWS, poor milk
and butter, and meager profits. 1t
is high time that dairying under
such conditions should be regarded
at its true worth, both for the profit
of agriculture and the quality of
milk products. Do not stop to hoe a
five cent hill of beans, when you
should be milking a fifty dollar COW,
or one that would be worth fifty
dollars if she were MIXED regularly.
Don't call to your assistance a
NANCY worthless cur in driving up
the COWS, when every hurried step
they take causes their blood to surge
toward fever heat, and results in
milk that will undergo dangerous

PURE BREEDS AND MANAGEMENT.

Farmers who look for something
more than the ordinary in pure
breeds are disposed to manage on the
theory OF the more feed the more
eggs an0 the result is that they
feed excess voly, make their fowls
too fat, and do not get as many eggs
from the pure-bred fowls as they
formerly did from scrubs. Such il
stances T so common that they are
we'll known, as many farmers who
have hOckS of pure bred birds COM
plain hat their neighbors, who keep
only scrubs, getmOre eggs than they.
The fault is that while the neighbOrs
do not feed so much food and compel
their scrubs to work and scratch,
the farmer who has good birds feed
them until he makes them very fat
and renders them liable to disease.
What every farmer should do is to
never feed his fowls when theyShOw
no inclination to attempt to secur a
portion of their food by WORKING
(Scratching), as he will save food by
so doing and have his fowls in better
condition than when he surfeits
them. 1t is almost impossible to
convince farmers that the surest
way to stop egg production in the
summer is to feed the flock ex-
clusively on corn, for it may be
noticed On every farm that when
night comes corn will be given libe
ally, and that, too, to hens that have
just come in from the range with
crops full. Corn is very heating,
and large, fat hens will frequently
die during warm days from excessive
heat. More eggs will sometimes be
secured by giving no food at all in
summer than when the fowls are
very highly fed. When improving
the flock aim to feed according to the
breed. 1t is a waste of time and
food to feed such active birds as Leg
horns very literally, as they can pick
up twice as much as they can eat
during the day. Large fowls may
receive lean meat, the Brahmas.
especially, but nothing else. Let the
scrubs be improved by using pure
bred males, and if they have been
good layers treat the improved birds
in the same manner. If a flock of
scrubs and n of pure-breds are fed
alike it will be noticed that the pure
bred hens will lay more eggs than
the others, and produce fifty per
cent. in the form of meat
