II is very desirable thing to be
able to haul all the hay into the barn
the same day it is cut The worri-
ment and anxiety consequent upon
the liability of a storm before morn
ing are thus avoided. and experience
has taught that hay having no more
than three or four hours sun will
come out in the spring perfectly
sweet and in fine condition for the
cattle. In adopting this plan it is
well to keep the hay constantly
stirred with tedder. There has long
been a fear of putting hay into the
barn that contains noticeable
amount of water, but if il is proper
ly packed by being evenly distributed
over the NOW, each forkfuI trodden
upon and the barn kept closed as
much as possible the result will prob
ably be vertgratifying.

Besides bad lamentations, there is
another cause of poorly favored but
ter, says Oscar Err. This comes from
cream or milk having been exposed to
foul odors, which are absorbed and
given to the butter. The theory that
milk does not absorb odops when
warm and cooling has long been
abandoned. Experiments show that
milk in that condition is even more
susceptible to odor than in any other
state. In the ripening process this
odor can be partly eliminated by
aeration or by pasteurization of the
cream but in case of bad fermenta-
ton some antagonistic germ must be
added in order to check the progress
of the undesirable one. This antag-
onistic ferms is commonly
known as starter, and if properly
prepared contains the right kind of
flavor producing bacteria.

THE FARMER DAIRYMAN.
III He Raises His Own Feed He Can
Make His Cows Pay q Hand
Profit.

Perhaps nine-tenths of the dairy
products of this country are pro-
duced from farms where dairyinC is
but one of several branches of agri>
culture carried ON, and IL is best that
this should be so. for mixed farming
Is the most profitable system and
dairying in connection with the
growing of field crops and other
stock Is best for the land as well as
for the man who owns it, says Dairy
and Creamery.
There are farms in this country
which have actually been impover-
lshed and very much reduced in value
because for long series of years
COWS have been kept on them and
the milk from them sold to cities or
condenSlng factories or taken off the
farm for some other purpose.
There IL a vast difference between
selling the butter fat to n creamery
and returning the skim-mill< to tho
farm and selling the whole milk.
But very little fertility is taken of
the farm when butter alone is sold.
air. the elements being taken up by
growing plants and transformed into
feed for the COWS and then returned
In the way of butter fat.
The mineral elements in the milk
and the nitrogen in il in the shape
of protein are the things we want to
keep on the farm, and but trifing
quantity of these is carried away
when butter fat alone is sold
The farmer who keeps a few cows
and raises his own feed is the one
who gets the best price for his feed
and the most meney from his cows,
providing he sells only the butter fat.
This being true, it follows that
every such dairy farm should plan
to produce on his own farm as large
quantity of the best feed he can,
and the capacity of the farm will in
crease in the course of years in ex-
actly the same ratio that the farmer
takes advantage of the means at his
command to make his farm more fer
tile and his crops greater.
We have not yet reached that
looked for period when we Dan keep
COW on every acre of land but it
is entirely within the limits of posi-
bility to do this
The land should be drained The
farmer who has well-drained farm
is. to large extent. independent
of abnormal weather conditions,
whether it be too wet or. to dry.
Well-drained land produces better
crop in any kind of a year than does
land not drained.

When sperm whale has been killed
and is brought alongside, the first
thing that the whalemen do after the
chalns are passed around the fukes TO
mold the big creature alongside of the
Whallng ship, is to cut the head from
the body.
ms head alone often weighs several
tons. and il is no light job to raise il
from the water. Immense tackles are
used, and as the whalers. who stand
on the whale and on staginCs rugged
over IT, cut through the vertebrae with
their keen cutting-out spades other
men on the deck of the ship heave and
maui on the tackle until the mighty

The Chinese obtain a great deal Of
extremely fine wax from a small in
sect called pela. 1t lives on trees. and
the Chinese cultivate the pcla just as
other races breed the honey bee. The
Pela, however. produces nothing ex-
cept wax.
This insect produces small masses
OF pure white wax. and it is used by
the Chinese and japanese for making
candles to be burned in Buddhist tenn
pies. The wax is used also for m.-

The Cost and the Profit.

Profit depends upon circumstances
The hen that lays the largest number
of eggs does not always give the great
est profit One dozen eggs in winter,
at 80 cents a dozen, permits of a
greater profit than two dozen when
eggs are IS cents a dozen. The sum
derived is the same, but il costs less
to produce one dozen eggs than it does
TO produce two dozen. and although
the same amount Of money is received
in both cases, yet the profit is not
what is derived in the gross sum. but
that which is produced above the cost.
hence, a hen is profitable according to
the season during which she lays the
greatest number, and the prices OBJ
tanned therefor. In summer. how
ever. the eggs may cost nothing if the
hens are on range.-Farm and Fire

Lime is in general use as fertilizer,

GOOD ROADS IN Jersey.
stnte and Counties building Them mt
the Rate of One Hundred and
Fifty Miles Year.

Good-road building is probably
making greater progress in New Jer-
sey than in any other state in the
union. Ten years ago the legislature
passed state aid bill permitting
each county to spend on road i'm
proVement an amount equal to one
fourth of one per cent of its rata
bic property.
In the following year four counties
out of the 20 in the state built to-
gether nearly Is miles of road Last
year II counties built their quota of
roads, completing during the year
nearly 156 miles of sound, level high
ways.
Since the passage of the act more
than Si.250,oO0 of the states money
has been spent on good-road build.
ing and more than 700 miles of road
ways have been constructed under
the most approved modern methods.
The work is so popular that there is
demand to double the amount per
mitted to be expended on the roads
under the law. The last legislature
increased the states contribution
from sl50000 to $500 and the
counties met this with their own APP
preparations.
At present petitions to build $50
more miles of roads. at an estimated
cost of 81 ISL. are on file and, pro-
vlded the state appropriation is lib
eral enough to meet the amount ex
pended by the counties, in a few
years all the leading roads can be
covered with gravel and stone.
