Manipulating the uddsr.

ID. w. HOWE says: Some people are
opposed to so-called wet milking. I
can see no objection to this style, pro-
viding the mixer keeps his hands
clean. In fact, think that dry strip
ping is one of the causes of warts -
the teats. My plan is to milk dry al
strip wet. Manipulation of the uddo
comes under the head of milking.
Danish veterinarian has devised a S.
ries OF squeezing of the udder wh4c
are to take place after the mike
thinks he has finished. The manipu
lations are supposed to be the means
OF extracting every last particle of
milk, this of course being the richest.
The operation takes two minutes and
the results gained are claimed to nore
than pay for the extra time consumed.
This gentleman certainly cannot Claim
to be the originator of manipulation
of the udder. You can all prove this
by bringing to your minds the num-
erous times you have watched litter
of pigs taking their nourishment. 1t
Is there you see true manipulation.
The calf, and this is more to the point,
also knows how to manipulate. 1t
simply gives it's mother a bunt that
jars het to the backbone and in this
way secured creamy milk. 1t may be
all right in the old country, where
labor is only worth twenty dollars and
a suit of clothes per year, to spend
two minutes extra to the cow in get
ting this surplus milk, but in this
country do not think it will become
very popular. Especially as you can
accomplish the same results by sim
ply initiating the calf giving the sep
arate quarters of the udder several
chugs with the hand when you are
stripping.

Raising Chicks In Rroodsrs.

From Farmers Review: In our
management of brooders in raising
our young Orpington stock after we
have gotten the young chicks from
our incubators and hens to our brood
ers, we run them at uniform heat of
So degrees, keeping II thus for the
first two or three days, gradually low
ering 1t a degree a day until 80 de-
grees is reached, and then keeping
heat so the chicks will not crowd.
We feed nothing for first seventy-two
hours, then we feed Chamberlain
chick feed-fed exclusively every two
hours for the first week, then four
times daily until a month old, and
after that three times q day. After
the first few days we vary the feed
by giving rolled oats, cracked corn,
wheat and green ground bone, keep
ing cut clover to scratch in. Fresh
water is always before them. We get
an early growth of lettuce for the
little fellows, and. as soon as possible,
let them out of doors, keeping them
scratching and moving continually.
We dust them frequently with lice
powder. 1t goes without saying we
clean our breeders daily At two
months of age we place our young
sters in colony houses and leave them
free to run on the range, feeding
morning and night cracked corn
varied by wheat and oats.-J. w.
tastes, Knox County, Illinois.
Only a small portion OF all the buds
formed on a tree grow the second
year. The rest remain dormant or
latent for years, and are made to grow
and produce shoots only when the
others are destroyed.

In MIX TESTING.


No test, whether the Babcock or
some other will run itself. 1t must be
handled by man not only honest, but
also competent The test is acurate,
If everything connected with its max
ing is right. There are numerous
things that need to be looked after.
The milk, before the sample is taken,
must be thoroughly mixed. This can
not be done by merely stirring 1t
around. Such stirring may still leave
most of the cream in the upper part.
1t must be mixed by pouring the milk
back and forth from one pail to an
other. The temperature of the milk
being tested should be the same for
each sample. The acid must be exact
in quantity and uniform in strength.
A failure at this point may give only
unreliable results. Then the speed of
the machine should be that given in
the directions for making the test A
too low speed may give results below
the truth. When the bottles are taken
from the machine 1t ia we'll to put
them into water at $50 degrees Fair

Drains In Orchards.

1t is surprising to find so large a
2umber OF orchards practically with
out drainage of any kind. Too often
holes are dug in the sod and trees
stuck into them, the planter hoping
that kind Nature will make up for his
shortcomings. Sometimes she does,
but often she does not. The lack of
drainage at the time of setting out
the trees often results in the almost
complete failure of the orchard If it
be on heavy land, and such land is
preferable for orchards if it be well
drained. In the putting out of or
chards the drainage of the land
should have the first consideration.
This will be all the more necessary
If the land be level and with small
fall Water then will run off very
slowly even with good drains. With
out such drains water will remain
about the roots Of the trees for days,
sometimes for weeks, preventing the
approach of air to the roots.
There are thousands of full-grown
orchards that it would pay to drain
now, though the drains might have to
be put closer together than would
have been the case had they been
put In in the first place, for the rea-
son that 1t will be difficult to pulver-
lie the soil Immediately around and
under the trees. The orchard that is
drained gets to growing earlier 10 the
spring than otherwise, and this time
of growth counts for much when a
dry season follows 1t. If tree has
water logged roots it cannot grow till
that condition is changed. II that
change comes late in the spring, the
work Of growth is shortened, espe-
cially If a long dry time follows it.
The results may be very apparent in
both wood and fruit, though the
grower may not realize the cause.

strawberry Beds.

1t is a very good plan for the farm
er, or the farmers wife, to see that a
new strawberry bed is planted each
year. This is by all means the surest
way Of getting a good strawberry
crop each year. A number of beds
will then be In existence at the same
time, and from some of them at least
good supply of berries will be Sc
cured. The old beds can be kept pro-
ductive for several years, but the
farmer is very likely to let them go to
weeds, or, what is just as bad, get
too thick. When the old bed only is
to be retained, 1t should receive at
tention Immediately after fruiting
time. The hoe should be put into use
and the rows narrowed up to a foot,
and some advise six inches. The
space between the rows should be
turned over and pulverized. The
plants themselves should be thinned,
to permit the development of com
paratively few plants. 1t win also
pay to put on some manure each year
If the plants do not show an inclina-
ton to grow rank. OF course, too
much manure will produce great
plants at the expense of berries.

eet Ready to cover plants.

In the summer is the time to get
ready to cover the plants in the fall
The strawberries will need covering
in the more northerly of the ATTITUDES
in which they are grown. If the mat
ter is given no consideration till the
ground freezes, the culturist may not
be able to obtain the necessary COW
ering except at considerable expense
There is much marsh grass growing
In localities where it is of no value,
which can be moved If taken at the
right season for moving and curing
After 1t is beaten down by the winds
and rain or the trampling of cattle,
1t is practically out OF the reach of
the farmer. Straw is fairly good for
this purpose, but may as well be
placed where 1t will be easily avail
able at the time it is wanted. Be
sides the strawberries there are many
other plants that win need protec-
tion-the blackberry bushes, grape
vines, raspberry canes, rose bushes,
and so forth.

Grasshopper nprlftlnn.n

The movements of grasshoppers are
of considerable interest to farmers
that have fields likely to be devas-
tated by them. There seems to be a
difference as to causes in the East
and West determining direction. In
the West it has been observed that
these insects advance against the
wind, when 1t is only light breeze
The drifting is therefore in the oppo-
site direction from that taken by a
boat driven by the wind. The grass
hopper evidently does not care in
what direction he jumps. His jump
is decided by his disinclination to
stand sideways to the wind. Like a
weather vane he presents his sharp
est point to the wind. When he
jumps it is in the same direction.
Strange to say, in the East this same
custom has not been observed. The
insects do not seem to like the wind,
and If they find a depressed area will
accumulate in it in great swarms, de-
youring every edible green thing.

Types of Hoqs.


The desirable type of hog should
have good length showing sides in
clined to be fiat. 'fhe ribs should be
sprung fairly well from the back, says
j. e. Brethour You want a slightly
arched back If you have a fiat back
you have fat pig. If you get a pig
hollow in the back, you surely get the
rat distributed away from the back
and filled in along the side The idea is
to get the flesh evenly distributed all
the way along, so that when the car
cass is dressed, 1t is not one-half fat.
The flesh should be firm, not hard
and stringy. In the latter case you
are likely to get pig that is an old
one held back and not in proper
bloom. You want good hair without
the bristles being coarse. A curly
coat Is not generally desirable. You
usually get thicker hair with a curly
coat than with a straight one. The
desirable type of hog is well covered
over the loins, with smooth even
shoulders not wider than the loins;
neck not long, but muscular, without
crest of fat. The under line and up
per line should be parallel, showing
evenness of depth through heart and
TANKS. The hams should be nicely ia
pered without bullying behind, indi-

head should be smooth not carrying
any superfuous fat about the jowls.
