Pure milk for New York city and 9TH
er large cities will be impossible SO
long as the cities permit the keepers
of foul and fetid stores to handle milk
at retail. The countryman who enters
one of the ordinary. or extraordinary,
city milk stores finds his nose assailed
by nauseating odors suggestive of all
sorts. sizes and degrees of filth. Milk
is exceedingly sensitive to odors, and
along with the odors it absorbs the
germs of all kinds that feast and fat
ten and multiply on the filth that gives
off the odors. The city physicians and
health officials should begin at home
watered, unadulterated, unskimmed,
unpreservatiyed milk. When they have
done that, they will find their cause of
complaint largely reduced. Next they
should turn their attention to the cars
in which the milk is carried from the
farms to the cities and to the shipping
stations that receive the milk from the
farms. In these two departments the
city investigators will find the remain
der of the cause of complaint. They
will then be face to face with the farm
conditions. and they will be surprised
to learn that the milk handed over by
the farmers to the shippers is an en-
tirely different article from the milk
that is handed out by the city dealers
to the city consumers.-New York

4.76 acres yielded on an average 1,217
baskets per acre. On section c, sprayed
with the same mixtures, the average
from a little less than an acre was
1854 baskets per acre. This section

Section B, sprayed with bordeaux

two sections, yet much nearer section
A, yielded from the 1.39 acres an aver

by our studies. we suggest a possible

counting for the increase in yield above
the sections A and G.
We could notice no difference in the
amount of rot, yet the berries seemed
fuller and the clusters heavier. Elk

been light and the vineyard in its
prime.
The cost of treatment in each case
was about 81 per acre. We recommend

just before blossoming-four of these
sprayings of bordeaux mixture and
three of soda bordeaux or ammoniacal

Not Prevented - Seven Sprayings.
Bordeaux and Soda Bordeaux.
For 1901 Professor A. d. Selby of the
Ohio experiment station reports in the
Ohio Farmer entirely successful work
in the prevention of grape rot by spray
ing with fungicides. He says: Little
more than seven acres of the vineyard
were sprayed under the arrangements
made for the experiment. A certain
vineyard row was unsprayed. Other
rows, section A, were sprayed four
times with bordeaux mixture and three
times with ammoniacal copper carbo-
nate. Others were sprayed four to sew
en- times with bordeaux mixture and
soda bordeaux mixture, section B. A
third section, G, was sprayed eight
times with the bordeaux mixture and
the ammoniacal copper carbonate. The
remainder of the estimated eighty
acres of vineyard were sprayed, though
less thoroughly than the plots under
experiment.
The results are very striking indeed.
The unsprayed rows yielded no first
class grapes because of rot, but ninety
nine baskets, or 1872 pounds, of poor
wine grapes were gathered from the
one-fourth acre it contained. These
sold for $1.50. Sprayed rows of equal
area beside this one yielded 305 baskets
of eight pounds each, which sold fol
$1,000 gross. Other unsprayed vine
yards in the neighborhood yielded as
this unsprayed part.

deaux mixture four times, followed by

CORN FOR CANNING.

How to Avoid Hand Hoeing-Esti-
mated Yield of Corn and Fodder.
The ground should be well plowed
seven to ten inches deep, a liberal guam
tity of barnyard manure spread on,
then narrowed till the manure is thor
oughly mixed with the top soil and
both are well pulverized. If possible,
the hills should be in checks to allow
the cultivator to run both ways, says a
writer in Orange Judd Farmer in dis
cussing the growing of sweet corn for
canning.
The planting should not be done till
the weather is warm and the ground in
good condition. The distance of the
rows may be from three to four feet
apart, according as the seed is of a
small or large variety. The hills vary
according to the number of plants in a
hill. Some sort of a weeder should be
used before the weeds get fairly out of
the ground AS soon as the corn is
large enough and before the weeds are
too large the cultivator should be start
ed and used often enough and late
enough to prevent them from robbing
the corn of the fertilizer and moisture
and to prevent their going to seed. If
these directions in the preparation and
cultivation are followed, but little if
any hand hoeing will be required.
The best way to use the fodder is to
cut it into the silo and feed it out to
stock The sooner it is cut after the
corn is taken off the better 1t makes a
good feed for cattle, sheep. horses that
are not working hard, hogs and even
fowls will make use of an occasional
feed of it in winter.
1t is difficult to estimate good acre
age yield, for the variations and the
causes of them are so great and so
numerous. Even after the crop has
been delivered at the cannery much of
it may be and sometimes is wasted.
l am of the opinion that $500 pounds
corn to the acre is a fair average yield.
The value of the fodder is to great
extent an unknown quantity owing to
the great variation in the price of hay,
grain and all kinds of stock feeds.
think twelve tons green fodder per
acre is about an average and is quite
equivalent to four tons good hay.

When dairyman goes into the mar
ket to purchase a COW, he generally
finds certain valuations placed on the
different ones, governed more or less
by the past records, but to large eX-
tent he will be disappointed in his pur-
chases unless he has somewhat init
mate knowledge of the nature of dairy
cows, says American Cultivator. A
good many COWS are worth more than
their record. They may have possibili-
ties which are only slightly apparent,
but which under proper treatment
might be easily developed. A cows
record for producing milk and cream
must always be considered in connec-
ton with her feeding. Cows that have
good records have been known to be
such heavy feeders that there was no
profit in keeping them. Another ami
NAL with probably a similar good rec
ord for yield will be a comparatively
small feeder. Whatever she eats seems
ito go into milk or butter fat. A record

daily feeding is of little value to any
one. The two questions cannot be sep
arated.
Another point that must be consid-
cred is the season of the year when
the yields of butter, cream and milk
have been made A dairy COW that
will make large yields in the summer
and comparatively nothing in the fall
and winter is far less valuable than
another who keeps up a pretty steady
yield the year round.

Selecting Calves.
The Practical Farmer gives this
method of selecting calves to raise,
which is followed by many successful
dairymen: Turn the little calf on its
back and see that it has four well placed
teats-that is, wide apart-and two ru-
dimentaries, or extra teats. Next see
that it has a large udder cord. which
you can feel on the side. rubbing finger
back and forth. Such parts are made
in proportion, and a large udder indi-
Gates that the calf when it becomes a
cow will carry a large udder, because
a large cord is necessary to hold this
I'D. Next look in the calf's mouth. and
if there are eight teeth, well through,
you can safely raise that calf. If
there are only two teeth put through,
reject the calf, because. as rule. this
indicates that the constitutional vigor
of the mother was not sufficient to ma
ture the calf fully before it was born.
Such a calf will be likely to have q
weak vitality when it grows up as well
as during its younger days.
How Long to Keep the Dairy Cow.
The answer is short to the question.
How long should dairy COW be
kept? Keep the cow only SO long as
she pays a gratifying profit. If no
record is kept of profit and loss on the
farm. neither man nor beast will get
credit for services rendered. Every
animal should have a ledger standing
account Even justice to man and
beast alike is honorable. The farm
er's methods in bookkeeping are not
always commended by expert account
ants. Business demands system, and
that system must be correct. When
the leaf is turned over in correct book
keeping, the proftless live stock will
be got rid of at the earliest possible
moment. Profitless stock is the heav-
lest tax the farmer. dairyman and
breeder is imperiously called upon to
pay.
The Scrub Cow Fa1Iacy.
ga well fed scrub dairy COW will make
as good butter as the best special pur-
pose cow in the world" This is clip
ped from q paper that pretends to be
a progressive farm paper. While a
we'll fed scrub cow may make good
butter, no amount of care or feed will
cause her to make more butter than a
well bred COW. 1t is not good butter
particularly that we are after. for
all cows make good butter if good
butter maker makes it. but quantity
of butter is what brings profits. Any
argument in favor of the scrub COW
must fail when it comes to talking OF
proft.-Dairy and Creamery.

 From Black Rock parties, the INDIE PENDENT has verified this report and it seems that mob went to Powhatan Tuesday night to lynch the negro, though it does not appear certain that he has been captured. No lynching occurred however and as a telegram from the INDEPENDENT to Black Rock has not been answered up to press hour, none of the particulars can be given.

COTTON IN GOOD CONDITION.
Full Corn Crop Seems Assured Since Heavy Rains-Wheat Falling Be-
 low Expectations.

For the week ending July r, Section Director E. B. Richards furnishes the following summary of crop conditions in Arkansas:
 Fair weather generally prevailed during the week; light showers fell in isolated localities. Cotton has felt the effects of the recent heavy rains, causing it to make a very rapid growth, and in many instances too much weed. In sections where heavy and continuous rains occurred the crop is becoming grassy from lack of cultivation, as the ground has been too wet to work, but, on the whole, the crop is in good condition and is doing we'll. No damage by insects has been reported. Corn has inn proved during the week, and full crop is apparently assured. In those localities where considerable lodging had been caused by the heavy rains and high winds of the proceeding week, it has strengthened up very much, and the damage is not so great as estimated. Wheat threshing con- tinues; the yield is, of rule below expectations, although in some To- calities an average crop of good quail ity is harvested. Oat harvesting is about completed, but threshing has not yet begun. There has been no inn provement in the indicated yield. Fruit conditions are practically un- changed. Apples continue to fall, but peaches present fair prospects.

''It is hard to un- derstand how he could come to do such an act of folly" continued MT. Dinsmore. "Supposing the president had entertained any idea of appoint ing Senator Jones, as to which I am not informed, would the reception of such an epistle cause him to change his mind? On the contrary it would doubtless have just the opposite effect. In trying to injure the senator the governor will probably find out the meaning of boomerang"
