TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

Silage, and especially good corn
silage, when compared with dry corn
fodder or other feeding stuff, produces
results so satisfactory as to surprise
the chemist and which chemistry can
not explain.
a silo or two, well built, but not too
large or too expensive, are convenient
and economical, on most farms, to save
crops which at times mi ght otherwise
be lost, if not to preserve some crops
specially grown for silage.
a good grade butter cow will make
more butter from certain amount of
feed than a common COW will and il is
certainly reasonable that the more
butter or milk secured from a given
amount of feed the better the oppor-
tunity for profit.
With butter as with other products
of the farm appearance is an important
factor. On this account with good
quality of butter it will be found good

From London comes the report of a
new fruit shown for the first time at
recent meeting of the Royal Horticul-
tural society. 1t is called the Mahdi
and is a hybrid between the rasp-
berry and blackberry, its seed
parent being the Belle de Fonte-
nay, very large red raspberry
of European origin. The Mandi has
very much the habit of the blackberry,
but its fruit resembles to some extent
the dewberry. There is the same bloom.
but the number of fruitlets is greater.
Most important is the time of fruiting,
for it comes into bearing as the rasp-
berries are failing and before the black
berries are ripe. The Mahdi is very pro-
life, and has considerable claim to be
decorative plant. The plants have
not yet been placed upon the Market
American Agriculturist.

Solids and Fat In Milk,

Although the law may fix minimum
percentage of solids in the milk sold in
market, yet milk varies according to
the kind of COWS and the food and wa
ter allowed. 1t is possible to water
milk through the COW, and the milk
from one cow will vary day after day.
The highest per cent. of solids in milk
found in England when tests were
made was 14.49 and the lowest was II. .O2.
The proportion of fat ranged from 2.2O
to ASS per cent, showing that some of
the milk was more than twice as rich
in cream as in others. In this country
the percentages of both solids and fat
have been greater where tests have
been made.

Rotation for Gardeniug.

Where the land is rotated for garden
ing the best location for new garden
is the strawberry bed of last year, for
the reason that strawberries are not
only literally manured and given direct
applications of fertilizer, but are also
carefully cultivated and the weed de-
stroyed. The shading of the ground by
the strawberry vines also promotes the
formation of humus. An excellent way
to treat the plat is to burn it over SO
as to clean off any dead grass or other
refuse that may be left, apply well
rotted manure lin order to avoid seeds
Of weeds), and plow early in the spring

Obituary.

James Quinter, son of Joel and
Nancy Ann Calvert. departed this life
December IL, 1900, aged % years, l
month and 2S days.
He leaves d father, brother, sister,
and two half sisters to mourn his loss.
He had been greatly afflicted for the
past four years of his life, but bore
his affliction with great fortitude, his
last sickness being tuberculosis.
Deceased was a member of the Ger
man Baptist Church and lived a con-
sistent Christian life, and he has now
gone to meet his reward.
AS a citizen and business man he
was the very embodiment of honor, of
that highest honor that despises all
things unmanly and false. His busi-
ness qualifications were great and had
his life been spared he no doubt
wonld have attained quite a promi-
nent place in the mercantile world.
In him was a spirit of justice that led
him to do right in all matters with
his fellow-men, and never did he
knowingly and willingly do an unjust
act. He possessed an indomitable
will power and whenever he under
took to accomplish certain purpose
he perseyered until he succeeded.
His loyalty was of that type that
makes men great in whatever sphere
of life they live. Loyal always to his
high standard of manhood, loyal to
the home circle which he so much
loved, loyal to his friends, loyal to
truth, to honor, to Justice, to God.
Life to him and with him was sun
shine and cheer. He was universally
loved by all. He always had a pleas
ant word for everyone and looked up
on the bright side of everything.
During his last sickness, when he was
confined to his room and at times his
body racked with pain and his breath
ing hard and difficult, he was never
heard to murmur or bemoan his con-
dition. a short time before the sill
yer cord was loosed he said: 81 am
prepared to die" Why should he not
be? What had he to fear in that
country from whose bourne no trav-
eler ere returns
Farewell, dear ones, I'm going home,
My Savior Fmiles and bids me come"

SOIL FOR POTATOES.
The Early Varieties Require Loamy
Ground and the Most Perfect
Drainage Possible.

A deep, loamy, warm, fertile soil is
preferred. In the absence of such
requisites the grower should choose
one that nearest fills the description.
A loamy soil, everything porous clay
subsoil, is better than the same soil
over a gravel or sand bed. Light
soils, that is, such as are easily moved
by the plow or less difficult to cul-
tivate and more conducive to an early
harvest than are heavy, compact soils.
No matter what the character of the
soil-light or heavy, poor or rich in
necessary plant food-thorough drain
age is essential to the best success
with Irish potatoes. Shortly after
continued, heavy rainfall dig hole
in the ground about Is inches deep.
The distance to which water will rise
in this hole will show the distance
below the surface of the ground be-
yond which the roots of plants will
be as etfectually submerged in water
as if lowered beneath the surface in
tub filed with the same liquid. If
the water level is gradually lowered
SO that within "a to SO hours after
rain has ceased no water stands over
the bottom of the hole, no artificial
drainage is needed IT, on the other
hand, water sinks much more slowly,
open surface drains, properly placed,
should remedy the trouble. prep
erly drained soil warns quicker in
the spring, retains water necessary
for the development of plants longer.
admits more air and gives far better
results from plant food already in the
soil, to say nothing of that added in
fertilizers, than does poorly drained
soil.-Farmers' Review.

storage House for Too,.

If every farm contained Toulouse,
inwhich every tool was kept inits place
when not in use, there would be great
saving of time during the busy season.
1t often happens that the value of the
time lost in seeking some tool not in its
place is greater than the cost of the
tool. Much of the loss of time and ex-
posure of tools is due to lack of some
suitable place of storage. 1t costs but
little TO build Toulouse, as it need
not be proof against heat or cold, the
main point being good roof, so as to
protect the tools and implements from

FOURTEEN DAIRY RULES.
II They Are Followed, Any Cow That
Is worth Keeping Will Pay
for Her Feed.

/. Cows must have comfort or they
cannot do well. Give them a good bed
and a comfortable stall with as much
liberty as is consistent with security,
cleanliness and convenience.
2. Have the arrangement of the
stalls, cutters and fastenings such that
the cows can be kept clean. Keep the
stable clean.
3. Have the stable ventilated in
such way as to provide pure air for
cows without making it too cold.
4. Always be kind to cows, then
they will be glad to see you when you
come around. Speak gently to them
and never in angry tones. Remember
Ward c. Whites famous saying: AL
ways speak to COW as you would to
lady,"
5. Give cows a chance to exercise in
the open air when weather is COM
Portable.
6. Milk regularly. at the same time
each day. dividing the day equally be-
tween milkings: cows in the same or
der and by the same mixers. if pos
sible. Milk quickly. but gently. Get
keep on stripping after you have got it.
Z. Feed cows all they will eat of
the proper kind of food. The concen-
trates should be fed somewhat in pro-
portion to the amount of milk each
cow can be made to give. But in no
case should the concentrates consti-
tute more than half. in weight, of the
dry matter of the dairy ration-a safer
rule is to say one-third. Give only what
they will eat up at once. Have none
left over in the hangers or feed boxes
for them to breathe on and get foul.
8. Feed a variety of foods. They will
eat more and digest more because of
it. Feed nothing but sweet, wholesome
food.
9. Feed at the same time each day.
then cows will not be worrying about
their feed.
TO- Feed as nearly as practical bal
anced ration. But all cows should not
be fed alike; those inclined to lay on
flesh should be fed less of the carbo-
hydrates, such as corn, and those in
clined to turn all their feed into milk
should be fed more of such feed.
IL. In summer cows should have
good pasture, or other green food or
silage. In winter part of the daily
ration should be silage or roots to en-
able them TO do their best.
12. Feed both coarse fodder and con J..
centrated feed both morning and
evening. Feed small or coarse fod-
der at noon if cows have been accus-
toned to it. If cows have not been ac-
customed to it. they may, perhaps. do
as well without the noon feed as by
giving more at the other feeds.
13. Cows should be watered at least
twice day when on dry feed and the
water should be pure and wholesome
and at temperature that best suits
them. which is at least 90 or 30 degrees
warmer than ice water.
IA. Cows should have at all times
all the salt their appetites crave. which
is from one 10 two ounces each daily.
If the above rules are followed. any
COW that is worth keeping will pay
well for her care and feed. Any COW
that does not so pay should be dis
posed of.-C. p. Goodrich. in Hoard's
Dairyman.

herewith fiat roof is first built. and
above this is a broad, overhanging roof
with plenty of space for the air to cir

The Importance of Dairyin..

Large as our meat production ap-
pears it cannot surpass the value of the
milk, cream and butter produced
There is an enormous amount of milk,
cream and butter consumed on farms
hence that sold in market is but por.
tion OF the amount produced, while the
larger share of the beef is marketed
Dairying is the most profitable indus
try On American farms and gives the
largest receipts.
