WINGED that enhancing the dairy in
terest would not increase the dairy
products in general, for l honestly
believe that every quart of good
milk and every pound of good butter
will make an increased demand for
double that amount in the South.
Let us here advise the dairy farmer
in the South to make a good dairy
butter, to take advantage of their
cool nights and make the butter be-
fore daylight and you will be sur
prised at the results.
l was somewhat surprised while
at the great Atlanta fair that almost
every pound of butter was oleO.,
while l was informed that Georgia
had a good anti-OleO law, which, how
ever, is not enforced, due, as l was
informed by some of the dairymen
and legislators, to the lack of an APP
preparation. The dairyman's expe-
rience in Pennsylvania is that an APP
preparation is not of as much benefit
as is generally thought for and the
dairymen in Pennsylvania find that
if they want to have the law en-
forced that they must do it by a per
sonal effort and if the dairymen of
Georgia get an appropriation they
should see that they get a good, en-
ergetic and honest dairy commits
siOner, and the moment you enforce
the cleo law you will find dairy but
ter advanced at least five cents a
pound, for l find that at present pure
butter sold for at rather less than it
did in Pennsylvania, while, when l
came to North Carolina, where l
understand the pure butter law is
enforced in the section where l was
the price of butter was eight cents u
pound nor and a greater demand
for it than in Georgia.

EFEEDING SHEEP.

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Corn stover is much better for
sheep than timothy hay or straw,
and if this is of good quality the
ewes may be brought through the
winter in pretty fair shape. If fed
on corn stover or any of the other
rough foods the ewes should have
at least half d pound each day of d
mixture OF oats and wheat bran.
Measure these out equally and feed
daily without interruption. As
breeding time approaches the amount
of grain should be daily increased
until it reaches u pound and Il half,
and should be kept until after the
birth of the lambs. Feeding in win
ter should invariably be given under
shelter of some kind, but on pleas
ant mild days the fodder can be fed
out in the open where the sheep
seem to like to wrestle with the
stalks. The exercise in the fresh air
is certainly beneficial to them and
gives their systems u better Oppor-
tunity to work. Corn Odder should
always be fed und~r shelter, either
cut or shredded.

ECONOMICAL HORSE BREEDING.

There is a good deal of money
thrown away every year by the in
judicious feeding of farm horses.
The North Dakota Experiment Sta
ton devotes Bulletin No. 45 to a re-
port of their feeding trial with horses,
of which we give only the summary,
as follows:
1. Bronze hay gave as good results
when fed to work horses as did
timothy hay.
2. Dat straw was satisfactorily
used for feeding horses which did
light work and for those which were
idle. One-fourth more grain was re-
CURED to support horses doing light
work when they we're fed straw.
3. Barley was not equal to oats in
feeding value per pound, but was
nearly as good. Mules did not relish
barley.
4. Matted barley was not so valu-
able for work horses as oats and was
not equal in value to the dry barley
from which it came.
5. Corn fed in connection with oats
in the proportion of 100 pounds of
corn to 125 pounds of oats, had
greater value than oats 77.5 pounds
of corn equalled 100 pounds of oats
when fed to work horses.
6. Whole wheat fed alone was an
unsatisfactory feed for horses.
Wheat ground and mixed with bran
in the proportion of two parts of
wheat to one part of bran by weight
gave good results.
z. Bran and shorts mixed in equal
parts by weight, was equal to oats in
feeding value.
Discussing these points, Wallace's
Farmer says:
The two points in the above which
will interest our readers is the com
parative feeding value of barley and
oats and the economy of feeding part
corn and feeding oats to farm horses.
If the fifth conclusion be correct,
that US pounds of corn equal 100
pounds of oats when fed to work
horses, then corn at So cents per
bushel is as cheap as oats at 25 cents.
This, however, will depend on the
roughness given. The cheapest feed
on which a farm work horse can be
fed in the stable in winter or summer
is corn and clover hay. If, however,
you are feeding timothy hay, there
is no such difference as that men
toned above between the feeding
value of corn and oats for farm
horses. Do not be afraid of good,
sweet clover hay giving work horses
the heaves.

Horticulture.
ONION CULTURE.

l raise my sets in plant beds sOwn
broadcast, using one pound of seed
on 800 square feet of bed, and by
having my plant beds we'll fortified
plants are large enough to pull and
transplant in about eight weeks
from sowing the seed.
Preparation of land to be planted
to oniOns.-I break the land Just as
deep as practicable about one month
before time of setting plants, and
harrow with Acme harrow, about
twice ii week till planting begins.
This leaves the surface nice and
smooth and ready for the marker.
Marking the rOws-Iuse a marker
constructed something after the
fashion of the Old-time home made
corn stalk rake, using u piece of
light pine timber 1%X3 inches, by 4
feet long for the body of the rake, or
marker, and if | am planting my
rows II inches apart l bore holes
through this piece of timber, just II
inches apart, using an inch augur,
and in these holes I put teeth or pegs
about 10' inches long, and to this L
put Shalves, by which to pull and
guide the marker. l use stakes for
marking by, the same as in marking
for rows for corn or cotton, only l
work in the shalves and drive my
self in line with the stakes instead
of d horse. This marks off seven
rows at u time from One-half to an
inch in depth in which to put the
small, tender sets.
Pulling sets and preparing them
for setting.-The sets are growing
thick in the bed and you can pull
from % to 100 sets at one pull, and
as l pull them with my right hand
| place them in my left being care
full to keep the roots or bulbs all
even until l get my left hand full
then with a knife 1 cut back both the
roots and tops, being careful not TO
cut off the little bulbs, and as they
are cut, l place them in u box, the
roots all one way, until 1 get up
about Il ,OOO or sufficient to keep one
setting for One-half day.
Transplanting In transplanting,
l set three rOws at once, walking ON
my knees astride the middle row. l
take up with my left hand as many
of the sets as l can conveniently
hold with the bulbs pointing from
me, and with my forefnger and
thumb of right hand Iset the plants,
placing my finger on the bulb of the
set as l pick it up, and with arm
motion set the plant, by pressing it
in the ground about an inch and
with the thumb, pressing the dirt
lightly around it. In this way 90 900
sets can be put in in Il day and 49, 0
is an average days work, and they
can be set in the dust, and live with
out water for weeks.
CultivatiOn.-I use the Planet Jr.
double wheel hoe for cultivation and
they should be cultivated frequently,
using the rakes when plants are
small and afterwards alternating
with ShOvels and hoes or Scrapers.-

LODGING HOUSES
FOR 0RIENTALS

In the opinion of City Sanitary Officer
Hemingway, the great numbers of cheap
Iodging-houses in Honolulu. in which
hundreds of Chinese and Japanese sleep
every night in close quarters, are the
places which require exercise of vigilance
from sanitary standpoint.
In his report to the Board of Health
for January, he says:
mo part of the sanitary work OF the
City is, / think, more important than
that in connection with the lodging
houses and restaurants, and especial at
tention is being paid to them by the in
spector of each district Notices calling
attention to the more important features
of the laws relating to tenement or
lodging houses, hotels, boarding houses
and restaurants have been delivered to
the proprietors or managers of all such
places in the portion of the City covered
by the inspectors. Their effect Is al
ready manifest in the largely increased
number of applications for license certif-
il ates received during the month. 1t has
been impossible this past month to dis
tribute to tenants of lodging-houses, the
notices authorized by the Board at a
recent meeting on account of the diff
Guilty in getting the Chinese and Japan
ese copies printed. This work will be
taken up and completed as soon as pos
sible.'
