Fiddler Corn

The farmer who does not plan ia
have field of corn fodder to use this
summer for his mich cows will de-
serve no pity If he finds his milk sun
ply so short next summer that it will
not sell for enough to pay what Il
costs him for feed. The excess Of rain
during the first four months of this yeal
may be taken as good indication Of
drought later on, and the crop Is 50
easily and cheaply grown. so valuable
II needed for feeding green, and 50
easily kept for winter use if not fed In
the summer that there seems no excuse
for failing to produce it. There are
other forage crops that have been high
ly recommended, but we think the corr
crop is as well adapted to New Eng
land as any, and almost any one knows
the soil and care it needs. We would
put in one field in May and follow will
others up to the middle of July to give
continuous feeding when needed.-New

About Cows.

The Farm Journal says that a COW
giving 5000 pounds of per cent mill
will produce only $50 worth of butter
while one that will produce 5000
pounds of per cent milk will produce
500 worth of butter, and her calf II
worth three times as much as that OF
the first There will be little difference
In the cost of keeping the two cows
SO that where the first gives profit Of
S3o the latter will net the owner 500
If we count the first cows calf at SIC
and the other at $50. Some people do
not think there is much difference IN
cows. but some cows forget to pay
their board bills. while others tax,

with luxuries. paying the interest,

Early G,rden Vegetables.


There was time when the gardener
who had his produce ready for the
market earlier than his less enter
prsing neighbor was well repaid for
his care and trouble by better prices
for the products Then the early bird
caught the wealthy consumer. Now
the early worm in the Northern States
finds his profits If not himself picked
up by those in Southern climate. who
can plant, grow and put on the mar
ket crop before the pillow can pene-
trate the frozen soil of the Northern
States. We are inclined to think the
chance for profit to-day. for market
gardeners here. Is in growing such
crops as will not mature until South
ern produce no longer fills our mar
kets. and perhaps in putting that In
cold storage that it may not be brought
out until there are indications that 1t
Is much wanted by those who are will
Ing to pay liberal prices for it. Let
early crops pass by, and strive to grow
crops of such quality as will suit even
those who have been using the earlier
products of the South. which are not

Raise the Calves.

Evidently there Is better chance for
profit now In growing young stock
either for the dairy or for beef than at
amy time in the past ten years, ana
perhaps In the last twenty years. But
we have the statistics for the past ten
years as sent out by the Agricultural
Department at Washington. In 1870
there were in the United States 36,S49,-
GA cattle. In 1895, -, 1854, PIG. Since
that time there has been steady de-
crease Of about two million head per
year, until In 1890 there were but 21,-
014,225. In 1890 there were $50 cattle
to each one thousand inhabitants. and
In 1899 only 1873 to each thousand. AS
the number has decreased the price has
Increased. The reports Of the Kansas
City stock yards show the following
prices for prime steers on Aug. 10 for
three years: In 1897. $3.50 per hundred
pounds, 1898 same date $5.25, and in
1899 1920 1t Is said that there are not
as many cattle in Texas now as in 1895

eight hundred thousand cattle in 1898,
and at the close of the war had but
twenty-five thousand. There must
have been a great reduction In South
Africa since the Boer war began, and
Australia has been heavily drawn upon
to feed British troops. If five or ten
years ago farmers in New England or
