Profitable Home Cheese Making.

George L. Newell, in Orange Judd Farmer.
Can home or dairy cheese making be

proper conditions and if conducted by

perence is in a regular cheese factory.

Many fastidiOus customers prefer dairy
made to factory cheese, but on account Of
the limited amount manufactured cannot

Dairying Increases Fertility.

American Cultvator.
Any branch of farming which increases
the general fertility of the farm land while
paying a living profit is worth more than
another which steadily decreases the pro-
ductivity of the soil Robbing the land to
make present profit is an unwise invest
ment. Sooner or later we pay for it, and
sometimes dearly. Now, dairying of all
branches of farming stands first in this
respect II can be conducted so that the
farm land will steadily degenerate until
the place is on the verge of ruin and
abandonment, or it can be made to i'm
prove the soil year by year. Many a dairy
farmer has taken hold of poor abandoned
farms and brought them up to a point
where their valuation is almost doubled.
Such men counted their profits in the living
which they annually took from the place
and in the higher valuation of their prop
erty. Keep a good dairy on any farm,
and the fertility of it should increase.
There should first be regular rotation of
such crops as corn, oats, clover and tim
othy two years and pasture another year.
Then manure should be used freely. both
at the time of planting and as top dressing
later. Commercial fertilizers have their
place there, for rundown soil has been
robbed of most of its mineral elements.
and the fertilizers rich in potash and nitro
gen restore to ii what il lacks.
In order to bring up poor farm by
dairying care should be taken not to have
more stock than the land can afford. This
is often the weak point in dairying. A
man keeps fifty cows a farm able to
support only thirty or forty The farm is
bound to run down. There is nothing else
for it to do except to starve the stock or
buy outside food, which always means poor
economy. 1t is better TO sell off the stock
weed out the poorest of the herd and keep
only so many as the farm can support and
leave little something over Do not farm
Up to the very limit of the soil. That is
Go not take off each year quite all that the
little will produce Leave little balance
in the bank a nucleus for future accu.
mutation. Dairymen make this mistake
and regret il when it is too late.
As one succeeds in farming successfully
with twenty acres, keeping a herd of COWS
on it so that they have ample to eat and
a little surplus over, more land can be
brought under cultivation and the stock
increased. About half the dairy farms to-
day need to have either the herd cut in
two or half the land abandoned That is
the former raising too many COWS to
the acre. and robbing the soil so that the
farm is a little poorer each year, and the
latter are only cultivating about twice
much land as they capable of
handling with their limited means 1t is
better to seed half the land TO grass. and
let it go at that. and devote the attention
10 strenuous cultivation of the remainder
A little radical change like this will work
wonders on many a rundown dairy farm.
