should say we do. I have a lot of

nickel myself, as matter of course,
and collect it next day. But there are
plenty of others where have to take

Lack of Good Plowmen.

What has become Of the old-time
plowman? asks correspondent OF
the Country Gentleman. Are they all
dead, or have their hands forgotten
their cunning, and their eyesight
grown dim? With the improved plows
of to-day it would seem that anyone
of moderate strength and average in
telligence could do good job OF
blowing, but not one out of ten who
profess to hold the pillow do good
work, and among those hired on the

this work well.

Butter-Making ON Farms.

The creameries have driven the farm
ers out in making butter in some Sec
tons, but it is not because farmers can
not compete with creameries, for there
are many farmers who do so. 1t is the
farmer who does not know how to make
good butter who has surrendered. The
best and highest priced butter comes
from the farmers, but it is produced
with care in every detail, and it does
not even have creamery butter as its
competitor. Farmers and dairymen
should not yield the production of but
ter to creameries, but endeavor to make
a better article.

Feeding Valve of Alfalfa.

Inc feeding value of alfalfa depends
someWhat on the time at which it is
cut. Tests at the Utah station gave
the following result:
l. The first crop gave the largest
yield in each of the five tests and in
fourteen out of the fifteen cuttings,
while the third crop gave the lowest
for every test and in every cutting but
one. The average acre-yields for the
five years, including all cuttings, stand
in the following relation: First crop.
100; second, IS; and third, 80. For the
early cuttings alone, first crop, 100;
second, 80; third, Sc.
2. In the average composition of all
cuttings for three years, the nutrients
of the three crops vary but little. The
second has slightly the highest per
cent of protein and fiber; and the third
the o fat-and n~itrogen-free extract.
8. The third crop has the largest
proportion of leaves to stems; but the
per cent OF protein in the leaves Is
highest in the second crop, and next
highest in the first. The leaves of the
AA0I NlOP CO1td1u Lu6 AOSL 16t anu VA
the second the least.
4. The third crop produced a higher
average rate of gain in the feeding
tests than the first or second and also
higher than any Of the separate cut
tings. The amount eaten daily was
also highest of all, but the dry matter
ard digestible matter for a pound of
gain were the lowest. In a pound per
pound comparison the gains stand as
follows: First crop, 100; second, 81:
third crop, 126. Dry matter for a
pound of gain, first crop, 100; second,
lis; and third, So.
5. The beef product per acre, TAX
ing the average result of all cuttings
for the five years, was very much the
highest for the first crop and decidedly
the lowest for the third, standing as
follows: First crop, 100; second, 81,
and third, 45. But taking the early
cuttings alone they stand, first crop,
100; second, 80, and third, 60.
6. Pound per pound, taken as a
whole, the results show the highest
feeding value for the third crop and
the lowest for the second.
Z. The average annual beef product
from early cut alfalfa was 705.61
pounds per acre; it required 9,575
pounds Of timothy to produce an equal
weight; 1857 pounds of red clover,
and 10,0S3 pounds of shredded corn
fodder.

Treat Oats for Smut.

The sowing of oats without first
treating the seed for smut is a cause
of great loss to farmers. This loss is
far greater than one would suppose
without investigation. Investigations
IN Illinois show that the annual loss
to the oat crop in that state is from
8 to AZ per cent, with an average OF
about ten per cent. This means about
l.5OO, 5000 bushels per year. One rea-
son why the loss to the oat crop from
smut is underestimated is that many
of the smut heads are whipped off by
the wind and so are unnoticed, but at
harvest time the stalk that is cut is
bare. Then again the stalks affected
by smut are frequently dWarfed and
do not show among the other heads,
even in the sheaf. Then, too, smut
sometimes exists without being rec
ogniZed, it being set down as blig At.
lnls loss can be entirely prevented by
treating the oats with hot water, dip
ping the seed oats in water for ave
minutes at a temperature of 100 to 1877
degrees. For this work a kettle is
needed as we'll as two barrels and a
thermometer. One barrel should con-
tain warm water and another cold
water. The oats should be sacked in
quantities of one to one and a half
bushels. The kettle should be large
enough to hold one bag at a time.
After the bag of oats has remained
COR the specified time in the kettle Of
hot water it should be lifted out and
dipped at once into the barrel of cool
water. The barrel Of arm water is
used to take off the chill from the oats
before dipping in the water at 1872 de-
grees. If the day be warm this pre-
caution will not be necessary. The
oats can be sown at once by hand
without drying.

Care in Milking.

How to keep milk sweet without pre-
servatives is a question that confronts
every dairyman. The question is only
half answered by some of our best
dairymen, and not answered at all by
others. There is probably no better
food for the growth of bacteria than
milk, and once in it they will develop
with astonishing rapidity. In the I'D
der of the average COW there is no bac-
terra, and to get this milk into closed
cans without exposing it to a great
number of bacteria is the heart of the
problem. From the time the milk
leaves the udder till it gets into the
closed can it must run through the
midst of the bacteria that it is desir-
able shall not be incorporated with it.
At the exit from the teat it encounters
thousands of these minute plants, I'M
less they have been washed out. Other
bacteria drop from the outside of the
udder into the milk pail. unless the
outside OF the udder has been washed.
From the hands of the mixer fall sew
eral different kinds of bacteria, I'M
less the hands have been washed. Fin
ally in the bottom and seams Of the
pail are found still other bacteria un.
less the pail has been made more than
usually clean. By close attention to
all of these details the milk can be
made to pass trough air that is COM
paratively free from fermentive bac-
terra.
