PERRY & DOTY, Edgerton,
Crowned Himself,

That was a curious sort Of lmpromptu
coronation in which his majesty King
William ". figured. Things did not
go very we'll with Earl Grey's govern
ment after the second reading of the
first reform bill had been carried by
majority Of one in 1881, and one Fri
day in April they suddenly got the
king to go down and prorogue parlia-
ment in person. Somebody went off to
the Tower to fetch the crown, and with
a scratch body Of attendants his maj
esty drove down to the house of lords
What happened there is described in
Greyille's 'MemOirS."
The king ought not properly to have
worn the crown, never having been
crowned; but when he was in the rob-
ing room he said to Lord Hastings,
Lord Hastings, l wear the crown;
where is it," 1t was brought to him,
and when Lord Hastings was going to
put it on his head, he said, Nobody
shall put the crown on my head but my
self" He put it on and then turned to

PREACHING AND PRACTiClNG
Handling Heifer's Udder Before
She Drops "a Calf.

before
She Drops Calf.
A short time ago a correspondent in
an article on handling the heifer, refer
ring to those who advocated handling
and rubbing the udders before she
drops her first calf, asks the question,
DO they practice what they preach"
His only argument against the prac-
tice was that it was contrary to nature
to do so. Does this friend not know
that the modern and paying dairy COW
is largely artificial? says writer in
Buckeye Dairy Farmer. She has been
manipulated in breeding and handling
until she does not resemble in the least
the original animal She has been
changed, artiicially changed, in form
and nature.
But, speaking for myself, | want to
say that practice what preach, and
practice it more intensely than l have
ever preached it. In our herd today
we have eighteen head of young cows
that have gone through the system Of
udder development. These heifers
were not selected to start with, but ev-
cry heifer dropped by our COWS was
saved for future mixers.
With me this system or method of
developing dairy COWS is no longer a
theory. This is not saying that one
can take any kind Or breed Of heifers
and develop them SO they will make
good dairy COWS. We must have breed
ing to start with, and the heifer with
the best breeding will be the better
for such Il course of handling, and
heifers with doubtful and ordinary
breeding can be developed so as to
make good dairy cows that otherwise
would have been failures. l claim
that a COW needs q course of schooling
to prepare her for her future work,
as does the race horse. Had it not
been for breeding, handling and edu-
eating we would not have any three
minute horses, nor would we have any
three pound butter COWS. Look along
the line from man down and see
whether it is not fact that as a rule
the best trained Or educated man or
beast is the most useful. We do not
claim to change greatly the form of
our heifers, but do claim, after draw
ing eighteen prizes from nineteen
chances, that it pays to follow this sys-
tenn OF treatment
We have often heard it said that
heifer should never be MIXED before
she drops her first calf-contrary to
nature, we suppose-yet our best COWS
all had to be MIXED before calving,
some Of them for month before We
had heifer drop her first calf this
winter. She had fine udder, and
about two weeks before she dropped
her calf she looked as though she
ought to be MIXED. But at that time
1 read an article in which the writer
claimed that it was a positive injury
to milk a heifer before coming fresh.
We took his advice, much against our
judgment. with the result that the heif-
er lost one-Quarter Of her fine udder.
Under ordinary treatment they may
not need milking, but under our sys-
tenn we find it necessary.

J. F. M, Tom, ILL.,, asks Breeders
Gazette what size mesh should be
used for wire netting for plastering
wooden walls. He also wishes to know
if he can plaster a wooden silo to adj
vantage, as it is beginning to decay.
The silo is round and twenty feet in
diameter. Joseph E. Wing makes this
answer:
We have used wire netting with inch
and quarter meshes. A finer wire
would perhaps be better. | advise
plastering that silo The wire should
be unrolled and hung from the top, like
wall paper. then securely stapled
down, the staples being driven so as
to bring the wire within half inch Of
the wood. Owing to the curve of the
wall it will require a good many sta
pies to hold it evenly in place. | would
use good portland cement. one part of
cement to three Of sharp sand, and
after applying have little spray pump
with a very fine nozzle and dampen
the cement now and then until it is
thoroughly hard 1t becomes much
harder if kept damp than if allowed
to dry quickly.
Curing and Harvesting COwpeas.
The greatest difficulty in the culture
Of the cowpea lies in harvesting and
curing the crop. Like clover. this is no
easy thing to do and get a good grade
Of hay. If you can cure clover. you
can cure cOWpea hay. asserts the Amer
lean Agricuturist We put in the NOW
the past fall during Il wet season over
forty tons of cowpea hay and fed it
away into the winter. 1t is bright and
clear and what we term of the highest
quality. We cut the crop with the
moving machine and left it alone for
a day. Then we used the tedder in the
, morning for q good stirring. and that
same evening it was put up in good
sized cocks and left for three days.
The cocks were then opened and
spread out to sun dry. That evening
they were taken into the barn and
stored in the NOW. We are feeding it
to take the place of bran for our
horses and cattle, milk cows and
young steers. They eat everything.
including the coarse stems. and moth
ing is better.
Painting the SiIo.
Except as a matter of looks. Hoard's
Dairyman does not advise the use of
paint anywhere about silo- The
sooner silo dries out after the silage
is removed the longer it will last. but
Of course an implanted silo is more
or less of an eyesore on the farm. and
| we can well afford to shorten it's life
/ by two or three years simply to crafty
| ones desire to have things look well.
Use any sort of paint for this purpose
| that you would use upon barn or a
| house and paint only the outside.

His Qunint Suggestion.

A Frenchman, who appears to have
been of thrifty turn of mind con-
ceived the idea in 1878 that too much
valuable time was being wasted in
for the market. He found way of
preparing them without cleaning them,
and on this he took out letters patent
Apparently he had some slight misgiv-
ing as to whether the public would be
perfectly suited with his invention
parenthetical entry:
Fish put up by this process may be
slightly unpleasant to the customer al
first, but he soon gets used to it.

LincO1n's Hay Crop.

A story of Abraham Lincoln would
have to be older than the one below to
lose it's characteristic SAVIOR
In the summer of 1857 Mr.. Lincoln
was sitting in his office when he was
visited by one Of his neighbors, an ex-
cellent farmer, but Oh inclined to in
crease the size of his crops even after
harvesting. He had given on this par
ticular morning a sl1illfully padded ac-
count of the hay he had put in.
1--WE been cutting hay, too" remarked
Mr.. Lincoln.
''Why, Abe, are you farming?"
''YeS"
what you raisc?"
'Just hay"
''Good crop this year?''
Excellent"
''HoW many tOnS?"
WELL don't know just how many
tons, Simpson, but my men stacked all
they could outdoors and then stored
the rest in the barn" -Youth's Com
paniOn.

clean cut features, depressed back, fat
hams and smoothness and symmetry

ments of blood and breeding. Used on
our native stocks, he will produce re-
markable results in a short time. AS
the sire is more than half the herd,
this makes it possible for hundreds Of
our farmers who are now suffering
from having too many poor animals on
hand to effect Improvement at small

chase a desirable sire, several can club
together and Il whole community be

Get Better Cows.
Dairy Commissioner W. W. P. Nc
Cornell says he has for many years
been advocating not more COWS, but
better ones. The point is a fOrcible
one. Records and tests which are in
controvertible show that one COW may
produce nearly or quite twice as much
butter from a given quantity of food
as another COW. \ man with the right
kind of cows may be making Il hand
some profit, while his neighbOr. who
feeds as we'll and gives as good care, is
losing money, the difference being who'll
~ due to the difference in the cows on
the two farms. The sure way to eX-
pand the dairy industry is to force
home upon dairy farmers the knowl
edge which is essential to success. 1t
is hard to say which is the more i'm
pOrtant. the individual merit of the
COW or the food and care given her.
1t is not necessary to consider their
relative Importance. Both factors are
all important. Without good food and
care no COW will pay. ard the best of
food and care are wasted when given
to poor cow.-Oregon Agriculturist.
a Dairy Schools Record.
The practical and effective work of
the dairy school of the Ohio State uni
versity will be seen at a glance when
it's record is made known. In brief. out
of the limited total of fifty admitted to
the school thirty students are now pre-
pared to take permanent places in
cheese factories and creameries, and
calls have already been received for
twenty of these young men. According
to indications every graduate will find
q place awaiting him at the close of
the school. Truly here is a fieid for
technical labor and for good business
management which is not Overcrowd-

Fed Green Corn.
One Of our best Cal. ymen in an adj
dress before farmers institute said
that during the summer. his pastures
getting short and having no soiling
crop, he commenced cutting off and
feeding his milk COWS his corn. He
kept a close account and found it paid.
This shows the Importance of feeding
well at all times if the flow Of milk is
to be maintained and that it can be
done profitably and good product OBJ

It is said by some that butter made
| from separator gathered cream is not
| as good as when separated at the
creamery. This may be so in some
| cases, but it is because the farmers do
| not take good care of the cream be-
cause they are too slack and slovenly
or keep it too long. 1t surely is not as
much spwork tofcool. and care for the
