Drying ON Cows and Ca,vIng Time.
It Is not unusual to find a cow
which shows no inclination to dry on
or second calf. Such an animal shows
an excellent dairy trait-persistence in
the milking habit-but 1t is doubtful
IL continuous milking is profitable.
Better results are believed to be OBJ
tanned from cows which are inclined
to take an annual rest, II not too long.
A month is long enough; three weeks
will do In most cases. and six weeks
should be the longest time encouraged
or allowed for a COW to be dry before
calving. An accurate record OF serv-
ice by the bull Is essential to prepara-
lions for drying off cows at the right
time. A table should be kept of the
dates when cows of the herd are sue
cessively due to calve, with notes as
to the milking habit of every one.
When time comes for drying on a
cow, grain food should be gradually
withdrawn. This may of itself cause
milk to cease forming. II not, nit
one milking a day. then milk but once
In two days, and thus extend the dry
ing period over two weeks. The I'D
der must be watched and II any hard
ening or unnatural heat is shown, reg
ular milking must be resumed II .
COW continues to secrete milk 1t must
be drawn. No COW should be forced
to go dry against manifestly nat
ural resistance to SO doing. On the
other hand, If an unpleasantly pungent
or smoky" taste appears In q cows
milk she may al well be dried at once
regardless Of dates. as her milk won't
be good until she Is fresh again. The
dry COW may be kept on pasture alone,
not too luxuriant, or on a low stable
diet, mainly of coarse forage, until
about two weeks before calving.
Yet the ration, while comparatively
"wide," should be nutritious, and
should include a share Of succulent food
roots or silage. Then a slow but
steady increase of feeding may pro-
coed, OF a nourishing. cool and Taxa
tive kind, SO as to become narrower In
ratio. Wheat bran Is a good material
to use at this time. but new-process
linseed meal is better. Experience has
led the writer to endeavor to have his
cows calve on an upgrade, as 1t were,
while daily gaining In strength and
'vigor, on a judiciously prepared, nour-
ishing diet, but without high feeding
or plethora.
A week before calving remove the
COW to a roomy, comfortable, quiet
box stall, preferably within hearing OF
the herd, If not in sight. Be sure the
bowels are quite loose and moving
quite freely tor two days before calv-
ing. Watch for the event, but do not
disturb the COW or interfere unless
something goes wrong or assistance is
manifestly necessary.-Farmer's Bulle-
tin, No. Sc.

TO show any LESSONS. The two horses
alta together about four bushels OF
spoiled corn, most Of 1t being consumed
during the FIRST week. After the hrst
week the corn had to be mixed with
other feed in every conceivable man
ner in order to induce the horses to eat
any Of It
In none Of the tests wal cerebro-
spinal meningitis induced by the moldy
grain. The deduction drawn by the
station from the Investigations fol-
low:
The results of the experiment show
that %inoculations with cultures OF the
bacteria and molds were ineffective.
Eating Of the mashes containing pure
cultures showed that only In the case
of a growth of a species Of fusarium
did any Intestinal disturbance follow,
and that In one case the feeding OF the
rotted grain produced considerable in
festival disturbance and some nervous
symptoms, but that the disturbance
was light in the other.
1t appears, therefore, that while
many of the cases Of sickness In stock
attributed to eating moldy corn are
due to other causes, the continued use
of such food may result in intestinal
and nervous disorders of a serious ma
ture.-C. F. Langworthy

Many of his northern friends will be

Coachers of High Quality In Demand.
There Is said to be at the present
time a very good demand for high
priced coachers both for home and
foreign markets. In fact this demand
has been quite brisk for a year past.
There are a large number of good
sized cities in the United States and
in each city are people that can afford
to have a team of high quality coach
ers. This makes the volume OF home
demand considerable. There is an es-
pecially strong demand for well-match-
ed teams, and men that have such to
sell can get a good deal more than
the going market price for them. Not
being able to get this the buyers will
take the cross-matched teams at a
pretty fair price, II the quality be good.
Here comes In the value Of color. 1t
shows that a prepotent stallion In a
locality is Of even greater value than
ordinarily II he can throw the same
color in his colts. This fact should
discourage hap-hazard breeding.

An Australian paper says that the
farmers Of Australia generally r
ready to accept a system of govern
ment grading of butter such as is now
being used In New Zealand and Victo-
ria, in Australia. We believe this will
be the ultimate conclusion arrived at
by most of the farmers and dairymen
that export butter, whether in the
United States or In other countries.
Governments must protect the trade
that has been built up or Is to be built
up in dairy products. Every nation
that has become a great and successful
exporter Of such products has had a
sort of government supervision 9
the goods sent out. Some OF our lead
ing dairy experts and writers have
urged the establishing in the great
butter buying centers in this country
of places where the butter shall be
scored and tested. When WI come to
that point we may hope not only to
secure more foreign trade for dairy
products. but may hope for an enlarge
ment at home.
1t is evident that In nc nation has
butter-making been reduced to a sci
ence. Everywhere we find the meth
DDS in use very primitive, the best
processes being only In the hands OF
men that are few in number. For ex-
ample, we quote the remarks OF q
Russian paper on the methods OF but
ter-making In that country: If we
wish to come out winners In this
peaceable competition we must do
away with our old-fashioned dairy
ways, accompanied as they are with
intolerable dirt everywhere and In
everything. with miserable appliances.
with perfect ignorance of the simplest
manufacturing axioms, and with ran
dom and hand-to-mouth habits" A
British consular agent In Siberia says
that the dairy papers In that country
contain similar articles. And we must
acknowledge that we read parallel ar
ticles In almost every dairy paper
that m to US, whether from Aus
tralia, Ireland, France, Canada or the
United States. 1t shows that bad
methods are not confined to any one
country or any n race of men.

POMONA GRANGE MEETS

Pomona Grange, Patrons OF Hus-

ger, John Hayes, Of New CasIle hundred;

One OF the subjects discussed was the
laws regarding the sale of oleomargerine
in this State. and a resolution was adopt
ed. which will introduce the subject in
the meeting Of the State Grange, to be
held in Milford ON Tuesday next.
Professor A. I. Neale and Professor

Neale was asked his opinion Of the stand
ard Of milk required by ordinance in vii
mington. The law requires 12i per cent
of solids, which Dr. Neale thought was
too high and said he believed most Of tn,
milk taken TO Wilmington by farmer,
was pure.
Professor Bishop was asked about tn
educational requirements a successful
agriculturist should possess, which CAV
him an opportunity TO laud the advan
tages offered by Delaware College to tn,
young men Of the State.
The grangers were entertained at
