amount he could have gotten by
renting his pasture, and conclude
whether or not the difference has
paid him the interest on his money
invested in cows, the pasturage of
his dry cows, and for the work of
milking and delivering his milk to
the factory. If the difference
happens to be in favor of renting
pasture, possibly the growth of
calves that are being fed on the
skim milk from the factory will
restore the balance to the right
side of the account. If, even then,
the difference in favor of the dairy
COW is too small, let the man who
wants to know the truth compare
his profits with those of his neigh
bors before he concludes that
dairying does not pay. He will
find that some of his fellow patrons
are getting handsome returns.
The question is, Why the differ
ence? The answer is, The cows.
As truly as there is typical
beef animal, broad, low and blocky,
Just as truly is there typical
dairy animal, but of different type.
Sometimes we find a profitable
combination of beef and butter in
the same animal, but it is the ex-
ception rather than the rule.
While the scales and the Babcock
test should be depended upon for
evidence to decide in the final
judgment of dairy cow, the eye
should be trained as we'll to see

FLAX Culture In California.

The Pacific Fiber Company, of
San Francisco, sent representatives
to Turlock last week to obtain
samples of soil for analysis with a
view to raising fax for fiber. The
soil was submitted to Prof. Hill
gard, of the State University, who
passed favorable opinion. On
Monday last Selby Brothers, of
Oakland, who are interested in the
Company, arrived at Turlock and
secured the land from the Mitchell
estate, and in twenty four hours
after securing the land had what
teams were available at work pre-
pairing the land for seeding. Sci
by Brothers have expensive ma

FOR THE FARMER,
Selecting Dairy Cows.

Bulletin Arizona Experiment
Station: The task of selecting a
dairy herd is one that should be
entered upon with great deal of
thought and care. The animal
that is to be fed for beef is chosen
for its supposed ability to make
meat and at the end of a COM
paratively short feeding period he
goes to market; whether he has
made money for his feeder or not,
he goes to the block just the same.
The dairy COW is selected for a
long term of service and, is good
COW, should go making milk and
money for her owner for years.
AS there is a wide difference in
the capabilities of steers to make
beef, so is there still wider diff
ference in the capabilities of cows
to make butter The intelligent
dairyman, the business farmer,
puts himself in a position to know
which of his cows are being kept
at a profit and which are not. The
only way to do this is to determine
and keep a record of the amount
of milk and butter fat given dur
ing the year by each individual
COW in the herd. The amount OF
butter fat given during the year
is the first test of the value of a
dairy COW. The scales and the
Babcock test must be used tC
determine this.
The books of the creameries Of
Salt River valley show that there
are many dairy cows that, during
the last four months at least, have
not given their owners a profit
sixteen patrons of one creamery
milking $40 cows, have received
but little over a dollar and hal
per month per COW. Every cream
cry patron should at the end o
the month divide the amount o.
his creamery check by the number
of cows in milk, thus getting the
gross receipts per COW for the
month, then compare this with the

False economy is the bane of
some farmers. To save dollar or
fraction thereof they allow their
harness to go unoiled, farming i'm
plements and vehicles implanted,
work with old, dull or out-of-date
tools, buy cheap goods of all kinds,
overwork themselves, family and
stock. They let the old fence "do"
another year, never grade up the
stock or fowls. Result: Harness
wears out in half the time we'll
kept harness do, same of nipple
ments and vehicles; their neighbor
does twice the amount of work
with half the exertion with his inn
proved tools, while his children
attend school and their wives rest;
his cheap goods wear out soon and
never look like anything; his stock
retrogrades and becomes unstable.
He is like the man who jumped
the fence to save the wear on the
gate hinges and broke his leg
jumping.

A Rare Disease.
10 Meas

DR.. Turner, the new County
Veterinarian, has detected the APP
pearance in this county of some
what rare disease, affecting horses
and mules, and his diagnosis has
been confirmed by one of the fore
most veterinary bacteriClogists in
San Francisco. The case was
brought to DR.. Turner's attention
by one of the physicians of this
city A portion of the horses skin
was removed, treated with a solu-
ton of formalin for temporary pres
ervation and subjected to micro
scopical examination.
DR. Turner says that the infect
ion exists in a very virulent form
of the "Leptus Autumnalis," form
of Trombidae. For treatment he
suggests liberal washing with hot
antiseptic soap water every two or
three hours and liberal applica-
ton of per cent. solution OF
carbolic acid or lysol in sweet oil
The microbe may be found in the
grass and brush and is usually
communicated by contact from one
animal to another.-E eSno Rebub-

and put in Jumps of ice as large as

the whole thickly with sawdust,

the barrel in a cool cellar.

a growing crop all through the
season. Planning in advance will
help materially in this.
The planting and cultivating
can be done more economically
and the ground occupied to better
advantage if everything is sown
in long rows, wide enough apart
to use the garden cultivator in
giving the necessary cultivation.
1t should be an item not only to
grow the most in the garden, but
grow it at the smallest cost.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1901-03-02
Setting Ready for the Garden.

With some crops in the garden,
such as onions, lettuce, radishes,
the early kinds of pease, and
spinach, it is an item to plant at
the first favorable opportunity in
the Spring, and all reasonable care
should be taken to have every
thing in readiness, so that when
ever the soil is in proper con-
dition to work there need be no
delay. If early vegetables are
wanted the seed must be sown at
the first opportunity.
With all crops it is essential to
have the soil in good condition
when the seed is sown, but it is
rather more so with the garden.
The soil can hardly be made too
rich, and if there is not enough
well-rotted and fined manure COM
mercial fertilizers should be used.
One advantage with these is that
they are easily applied and con-
tain a large per cent of available
plant food.
1t is best to pillow the ground in
good season and then apply the
manure on the surface and work
it thoroughly into the soil.
Nearly all garden crops feed
near the surface and the manure
should be applied and kept near
the surface SO that the plants may
derive the largest amount of bene-
fit.
In blowing the garden it is an
item to pillow deep and thorough.
A soil stirred deep and thorough
not only furnishes large amount
of plant food, but retains moisture
much longer.
Another item that can be look ed
after in advance is the seed.
These should be obtained in good
season so that they can be sown
whenever the opportunity offers.
While If &c an item RI have a
good supply, there is no advantage
in having too many varieties. 1t
is best, also, to rely upon old,
standard varieties, trying novel
ties on a small scale.
With many kinds of vegetables,
however, it is best to plant two or
three varieties-one early and one
late By this plan a good supply
can be maintained for a longer
season without the necessity of
making so many paintings. A
good garden should not only sup
ply vegetables early, but all
through the season. r' q
! Another item is to plan out the
garden so as to use the ground to
the best advantage. 1t is an item
to keep the ground occupied with
