strides ahead. Another thing, fancy
products never become a glut in the
market, while the common goods gen
orally do. There is consequently less
risk Of loss in the production Of fancy
fruits, vegetables, live stock and Other
farm products, among which may well
be named fancy cheeses. We often
times hear that these so-called fancy
cheeses are only appreciated by those
who have acquired taste for them
and that heretofore they have been
made chiefly abroad; today, however
as an example to the contrary, there is
a big pineapple cheese factory running
almost within stones throw Of the
writer's home and SO well is it's man
ager prospecting that it makes manifest
beyond doubt that this is an impor
tant branch of our cheese and dairy
industry. and if pursued with energy
is pretty sure to pay in the long run
aye, give those who engage in this
specially rewards even beyond the
special knowledge required. 1t Is q
matter of fact, the greater part Of this
country has the climate and the vege
tation to supply all the essentials for
these fancy cheses, and better still,
the cost of making them is usually not
much more than for the commoneI
kinds. 1t is asserted that imported
fancy cheeses generally sell for more
than double the amount that our com.
Norinfinc mr. ond that
those made in the United States b.
expert dairymen can hardly be dis
tinguished from the foreign products.
Should not the latter. then, bring as
much as the former? Certainly, and,
truth to tell, they do.
The fact is the consumption of fancy
cheeses has increased SO rapidly dur.
ing the past few years that home
dairymen, notwithstanding the equal
increase in the importation Of such
goods, have put forth a noble effort to
supply part of this demand. The
acquired taste is even becoming a
popular taste, and now it is nothing
out of common to see fancy cheeses
on the tables of our leading hotels and
restaurants at all times. Nor does
this in any way diminish the consump.
ton of the cheaper factory made
cheese. Rather it opens up new de.
partment of the dairy business, which
should be studie4 most carefully. Hap
PLY, however, our dairymen are al
ready in a more or less limited man
ner making the leading cheeses in this
country-Fred o. Sibley, in The Epi'
tomist.

There is nothing that assists a
reputation for sending out good stuff
than close culling. No breeder has
been able to raise all good pigs, even
from the most distinguished sires and,
dams, that ever lived. There always,
will be some inferior to the others.
These should be consigned to the pork
pens. The breeder that does not do
this will have lots of trouble on his
hands. He will find it Improbable,
because he cannot sell to the same
man more than one time.
The man that builds up his business
by honest transactions that are salts
factory to the buyer is the one that
makes profit and a success out of his
business. If you get customer for
an animal. make the deal so that he
will be your friend and continue your
customer We have plenty OF bl eed-
srs who are of this character and
who praise this method of doing bust
less. To do business and meet the
requirement, you should have the
blood for which there is a demand
You should have good sows as we'll
as good boars if you want to produce
a good class of pigs. You should give
close attention to feeding and hand
ing to properly develop them. 1t is
better to have one good SOW, than
:hree poor or medium ones, for profit.

One of our readers asks If chickens
should be fed in troughs and adds that
he means grown fowls, since he knows
that small chickens should be fed in
troughs.
A trough, speaking in general terms,
is intended solely for hogs, cattle, etc,
and in no case for poultry, and we will
say here that more diseases result
from the use of troughs than from any
other source.
They gather filth, the fowls litter
them and the food sours and decays in
them. We do not think troughs
should ever be used for either young
or old fowls.
For cheap and economical way to
feed them there is nothing better than
a Pinch plank laid fiat on the ground,
and as any desired length.
This suggestion is made simply be-
cause we do not think fowls should
have much soft food, our experience
having shown that hens do better
when given almost exclusively grain
foods. Of course, a variety is relished
and the hens will enjoy change but
the main standby should be oats,
wheat, millet and corn, the former be-
ing the principal food.-Home and

Corn as a Money Crop.

Much has been done toward educat-
ng the people of Europe along the
inc of cheapness of corn as food and
also the preparation of our corn, so
that in the next decade as the poor
earn from others the many ways of
cooking, it's consumption will increase
n geometrical progression. Let us
nope that in the near future the serfs
If Russia will not be compelled as now
% mix with their rye sawdust and 9TH
sr material. Corn will be to them, and
indeed to all the poor of our neighbors
icross the waters, God-given mama
sent from their western brothers.
l believe that the low prices of a
'ew years since will never be reached
again. and it would be well for our
farmers, especially of the eastern
states, ana by eastern l mean east of
he Mississippi river, to turn their at
ention more to the production of corn
as money crop. Corn is bulky, and
he increase of freight rates from the
vest will be so much in favor Of the
eastern states.
In regard to corn raising for the
lairyman, it is one of the best as
well as the cheapest feeds for COWS in
milk. II fed whole, much is wasted,
out the best meat is made by the filth
est animal, and lot Of hogs after
lows so fed will increase in weight
'aster than if fed the corn on the ear,
and many times they will pay for the
,orn fed to the cows.-W. b. Hawkins,

rop-dressing wheat with Manure.

Wheat may be top dressed in the fall
or early in the winter If the manure
is fine and free from coarse litter. 1t
is an excellent way to use manure so
as to preserve it from loss. AS wheat
land is plowed in the fall, it is conse-
quently loose, and the rains carry the
soluble portions down to the roots Of
the plants. The roots also follow the
plant food that may be carried below
the top-sail. By top-dressing wheat
with manure the plants are also, to
certain extent, protected in winter.
while the spreading of the manure at
this season saves labor in the spring.

Barley as "a stock Food.

Barley will grow on any soil that
will produce wheat 1t is superior
food for stock. In England it is used
for fattening hogs instead Of corn, and,
while it does not equal corn in produc-
ing fat on the carcass, yet the hogs
weigh fully as much as those fed on
corn, as they contain more lean meat.
For the growing pigs it is far superior
to corn, as 1t produces more protein
and mineral matter.

Women are the best friends Of the
dairy industry. Cows MIXED by
women yield more milk tnan when
going, Illuminating animal that leisure.
ly converts grass and other food into
milk. Stabbed comfortably at night
without a mouthful of food she gives
more milk in the morning than after
being at pasture all day long. This
is because The pasture lacks the con-
tentment of the comfortable stall in
!. which to ruminate and repose. In this
respect the COW is like the poet. The
COW supplies milk for food for the
body, while the poet creates food for
the soul. Both mediate; both create
food for mankind.
1t is a physiological fact that the
waste of the body and the wear of the
mind are restored by repose. This
is a law of nature. 1t is thus readily
seen that the undisturbed life of the
cow is more productive of milk The
gentle hand of woman and the kind
care of the COW by her produce larg-
er and more perfect product. Hurried
manufactures always lack perfection.
Milk produced by day, when cows arc
driven to and from pasture by boys
yelling and throwing stones at them
or worrying them with barking dogs,
is never so perfect, nor abundant, nor
good. Remove the annoyance of boys
and rough men from the dairy, and
prosperity will smile upon it.
There is no milking machine equal
to a woman's hands. The ounce of
stripplings-the last richest milk
that most men when milking leave in
the cows udder, tells of a loss of many
millions of dollars to the dairy indus
try annually. Ard every ounce left in
milking means loss of the capability
of the cows production. The lack Of
fostering the milk tendency is a far
greater loss to the dairy than is gen.
orally supposed, if, in fact, it is ever
thought of.
In some parts of Europe cows are
MIXED three times a day, and with
milk COWS twice, we can only estimate
the loss by lack of thorough milking
at two ounces of the richest milk daily.
Multiply 100000 COWS by two and
you have a total of many gallons, as
every gallon of milk should weigh ten
pounds. Following up the figuring, it
will be found that we lose two or three
millions of dollars every year by the
want of woman's hands in milking.
Cows become strongly attached to
the women who milk and feed them,
and if such COWS were tested, it would
be found that they give more milk.
The family cow MIXED by woman
always yields more milk, and richer
in butter, tnan the same COW does
when turned into the dairy herd Many
dairy men have paid high prices for
exceptionally good family cows, and
found that with the ordinary feed and
care Of the dairy herd they degenerat-
ed into the low grade of the other
COWS. 1t seems that the dairymaid's
hands are full Of the milk Of human
kindness. Gentleness and thoughtful-
ness and care on the part of the women
of the family for the dairy give the COW
extra fed-a crust, nibble of corn,
an extra measure Of meal or a por-
ton of hay and extra straw for bed
ding. These extras add milk to the
pail and put money in the purse.
Kindness to and care of animals pay a
remuncrativc interest on the capital
invested.-Dr. A. S. Heath, in New

FOR CONGRESS TO DISCUSS
Root Sends Paper on Test of Gathnan
and nNeIve-inch Guns.

Washington, May 27.-Secretary Root
sent a letter to congress today transmit
ting without comment additional papers
ia regard to the recent comparative test,
b. joint board Of army and naval Off
GERS Of the Gathmann torpedo gun and
the l2-inch army service rife. These pa
pers include a report made by the board
OF ordnance and fsrtihcation and a sup
Elemental report by the joint board which
conducted the tests. The latter was the
outcome of the order re-convening the
board at the inventors instance In the
opinion of the board the ordnance and
fertilization:
THE destructiveness Of the l2-inch rife
is deemed TO have been Of a more useful
character than that produced by the
Gathmann projectile fired from an 1S-inch
gun. and this board therefore concurs in
the opinion expressed by the joint board
OF army and navy officers. viz: There is
nothing in the Gathmann system to rec
ommend It's adoption in the public service
o. the United States or to warrant further
experiments
The opinion thus expressed by the joint
army and naval board is reiterated in the
supplemental report forwarded TO con-
gTess today.
