= VIEWS OF A VIRGINIA DA1RYMAN.

We, running a butter dairy, con-
slider the Jersey the most profitable
COW, but no breed will be profitable
if not given the best care and atten-
ton. Good pasture in summer, aid
ed by a little bran or ground feed at
night, and for winter rations, early
cured clover hay, corn fodder and
good supply of roots, bran and
ground feed. Feed each COW &C
cording to her capacity and test the
product so that a COW that does not
come up to the standard may be got
ten rid of. Winter dairying is the
most profitable here, as butter then
commands the best price and is most
easily handled. By care in these
particulars and absolute cleanliness,
dairying can be made profitable.-C.

THE BARCOCK TEST.

University of Wisconsin, invented

be a wonderful invention for testing
the COWS. Some of my COWS net me
two-thirds more than others, from
the cost of feed. By weighing the
milk, and testing it, and keeping &C.
count of the feed used, I can tell if a
COW is profitable or simply a boarder.
By testing the skim or butter milk
often, I learn under what conditions
there is the least loss of fat. The
tester is inexpensive and easy to
operate.-Frank Culbertson, Sher-

complished land improves rapidly
under this system. In fact, L cannot
doubt that every acre of billy or
even rolling land in regions subject
to much rainfall would be doubled in
value in ten years if thus protected,
and that regardless of what crop one
grows on the land.
In the November issues of the
Strawberry Specialist will be found
clear and practical directions for
making terraces as we'll as for pre-
pairing a ~serviceable instrument for
laying them off. The only fault that
could be found with the terraces of
this writer is that they are not strong
enough. The mere throwing up OF
a bed even with the largest two
horse pillow does not make a bank
strong enough to stand in heavy
rains, especially the first year or
two. My plan is to go owe this bed
at least four times with a twO-hOrse
pillow, so as to get it broad and strong.
These plOwings up should be at in
tervals so as to let the soil be packed
each time by rain. Otherwise the
re-plowings have but little effect in
throwing the bed up higher. If it is
not practicable to wait so long broad
hand hoes can be used to draw up
the terraces after they have been
plOwed one or more times.
Nevertheless, as l stated at the
outset, the low beds on which straw
berries are usually planted renders
the fields exceeding liable to erosion.
1 am now experimenting with higher
beds. The conclusion that l seek to
arrive at is this What is the right
mean between a low bed with it's
washing and a high bed, the plants
on which are held to be more effected
by drought? With level terraces,
level rows and high beds l believe
that in that the water is largely held
on the soil and absorbed by it that
the effect of drought will be much
less than with low beds which retain
little or nc water long enough to be
absorbed. The benefit to the soil
would certainly be vastly greater
with the higher beds. For then
there could be little or no washing,
the water depositing its sediment
along each middle evenly.

THE FUNCTIONS OF HUMUs.

Prof. Schuppe says that the rela-
tions of the humus to the soil that
contains it may be summed up briefly
as follows:
1. 1t is the natural stOrehOuse and
~conservator of nitrogen, which ele-
ment is the most expensive Of all
plant foods when it becomes neces-
sary to purchase it in commercial
fertilizers.
2. 1t furnishes the food upon
which the soil micro-Organisms live,
and which, by their life functions,
convert it's organic nitrogen into
%nitrates.
3. I~tpossesses considerable amounts
of the mineral food constituents.
These, in the further decomposition
Of the humus, a process continually
going on in summer, are liberated in
forms available to growing crops.
We have reason to believe from re-
cent research that the mineral
humates furnish a large proportion
OF the potash, lime and other min
raj used by crops.
4. 1t serves to increase the ahsOrp-
1--WE and ~retentive power of soils for
moisture.
.. 1t regulates and protects against
extremes of soil moisture.
6. 1t opens up and mellows heavy
soils.
z. 1t serves materially to dimin-
lsh the loss of f%ertilizing elements
By drainage, thus permanently M
proving in the best way light soils

The Dairy.
CONTINUOUS DAIRYING.

|
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
In my experience in farming in all
branches 1 have found dairying the
surest of any. It is a permanent
business that is always safe. You
can hardly say this of any other line
of farming. The grain crop, the ap-
pie crop, or the cattle supply, may
all go to pieces because of bad sea-
sons, or poor markets, and a man is
nearly swamped. Everything prac-
tically is lost, and he will have hard
work to get on his feet again. With
dairying, however, this is not true.
If milk and cream do not pay there
is butter or cheese to fall back upon.
If the grass crop fails, a little plan
ming and work will enable you to
winter your stock without much
loss. Indeed, one can even convert
the milk and butter milk into good
fat pigs and veals, if, for any other
reason, there be no other sale or
market for dairy products. There
is, in fact, a great number of ways
of making money on the dairy which
gives to it a certain surety Of income
that is very satisfactory.
This of course always means that
the dairyman must be progressive
and up to date in his management.
Dairying today is a continuous work
that extends throughout the whole
year. Merely summer dairying will
not not do. A man who expects to
work in summer on the dairy and
idle for the rest OF the season will be
disappointed in his returns. Con-
tinuous dairy is better in some re-
spects than winter dairying. It dis
tributes the work over the whole
year and prevents it accommodating in
the summer or winter to discourage.
In order to make continuous dairy
ing possible or profitable, the funda
mental question of the whole indus
try must be intelligently considered
That queetiOn is related to the kind,
variety and cost of the food. It
must be settled definitely a year in
advance. A man who does not plan
out his campaign thus in advance
cannot expect to meet with the re-
wards he thinks due him. How much
grass for summer pasturing? How
much for fall and early spring?
What roots and grain for winter?
What about the hay crop and the
ensilage? These are the items that
must be jotted down and sa~tisfactor-
lily disposed of before any work is
attempted. Estimate the number of
acres required to support a COW the
year round, and then increase the
herd or decrease it 70 come within
the limit. It is only by such sys-
temizing of the food question that
one "a hope to meet with deserving
success. A haphazard way of hav-
ing too much food ~ summer and
not enough to keep the stock from
nearly starving the next winter will
hardly prove satisfactory. If proper
attention is given to the little details
Of dairying, 1 believe it will prove
the surest way of making a living on
the farm. W. E. FARMER.

GRAPE CULTURE IN NORTH CAROLINA

In a recent issue of the American
Agriculturist Mr.. E. E. Reynolds
contributes the following timely sug-
gestiOns that we reprint here for
the purpose of reminding farmers of
the value of grapes for home use and
the profit in them as a o o
In North Carolina of all States there
should be no home without a regular
supply Of luscious grapes. AS Mr..
Reynolds we'll says:
The natural home of the grape is
North Carolina. The early English
navigatOrs reported that the shores
of the Carolinas were covered with
vines, and clusters of luscious grapes
overhung the still waters of inlets
and sounds. The beautiful and de-
licious Catawbas were first found
growing along the banks of the river
of that name. The sweet Scupper-
nOng is a native of the coast coun-
try. The Thomas, Flowers, James
and several other choice varieties
were found growing Wild in Eastern
Carolina, and have been improved
by cultivation. The James differs
from the Scuppernong in being a
smooth jet black, while the latter is
a russell green. The fruit is the
largest OF the native grapes and it is
IN many respects the best.
Grapes grow prOfusely in every
portion of the State, and diseases
and pests are less prevalent than in
Northern grape-growing regions, vet
the industry is practically unde-
Veloped. In Halifax and Cumber
Iana counties are everal LARGO vino
yards. In the vicinity of Sontborn
Pines, Moore county, betwaan / 600
and 1000 are set in Nioowso
and Delawares, and in the western
mountain section are several en,o17
vineyards.
Possessed of wonderful natura7
advantages in the culture of cranes
the deplorable fact remains that
North Carolina farmers do not grow
enough grapes for the home market
Grapes from Delaware have beer
selling in our markets in season, anC
soon the famous Lake KeUka grapes
from central New York will be per
haps the only grapes on sale. Til
ought not to be the case. NORTH
Carolina farmers can produce enough
grapes to supply every market in the
United States they at least ought tc
grow an abundance for the home
market. Grape culture is a subject
worthy of the attention of Southern
farmers.

SUCCESSFUL TOBACCO RAISING.

Messrs. Bats & EdmundsOn, of
Pleasant Grove township, this year
raised 6 $3.50 pounds of tobacco on
"a acres. They sold it with Messrs.
Skinner & Ragsdale, at the Banner
Warehouse, Smithfield, for 81, 1872. so,
or $187 per C The price paid for
10. 294 pounds of the best grade was
$50 per hundred.
This is undoubtedly the best crop
of tobacco raised in Eastern Caro-
lima. All those capable of judging
saying there is no county in the
State hat can excel Johnston county
county in the production of fine
bright tobacco.
This is no better crop than many
others might raise if they will only
make the proper efforts. Try a few
acres next year and bring your crop
to Smithfield and our warehousemen
and buyers will give you the highest
market prices for it.-Smithfeld

If a COW should fail to clean off the
placenta Or afterbirth after calving
boil a peck of oats, divide it, and
give in two feeds, night and morn
ing. If necessary, repeat until the
desired result is obtained, which will
usually happen in less than a week.
With US this simple remedy has
failed to give the desired result. By
feeding a small quantity of oats to
the COWS for a couple of weeks be-
fore they are due to calve they will
seldom fail to clear off the a~fterbirth
properly.-L. O.. Folio, Lake Lillian,
