Danish Dairy Cattle.

We may very properly inquire
whether there are cattle in other
countries which would improve our
dairy herds or be valuable acquisi.
ton to the variety we now possess.
Although others may hold different
views, it is the belief of the writer
that the only countries to which any
attention can profitably be given in
this connection are Denmark, France,
and Switzerland. The first named
furnishes the best example in the
world of dairying as a national spec.
ialty, of rapid development, and Of
present high average production and
excellence. Here we find the Red
Danish cattle to be the standard stock.
and very satisfactory business cows
they are, of a pronounced dairy type.
But they lack uniformity except In
color, particularly in udder develop
ment and other dairy points, and in
the show ring the very best of them
could not hopefully compete with the
best of any one of the four leading
dairy breeds of this country. AS dairy
performers they are good, but not re-
markable; the best yearly records the
writer has seen show an average pro-
duction of 5000 to $500 pounds of
milk per cow, in herds of II to 10
animals of all ages, with an average
fat content of about 81 per cent, an
equivalent of 290 to 1926 pounds Of
butter per year. A very celebrated
herd of 70 cows averaged 7,150 pounds
of milk year. In Jutland there is a
distinctively dairy race Of sharply de-
fined black and white markings in ap-
pearance reminding one Of Holland
cattle, and still more of Brittanies, al
though between these two races in
size. They are very attractive cows,
of rather less than medium size, and
excellent mixers. Both these races
of Danish cattle may be credited with
being economical producers; yet none
Of them are wanted here, for super
lative excellence seems to be lacking
on the one hand, while on the other
they appear .predisposed to tubercu-
losis and very generally tainted with
this insidious and dread disease

The Guinea Hen.

From the Farmers Review:-The
Guinea hen is one of the most inter.
esting fowls on the farm. She is al.
ways wide awake and lively, always
on the lookout for any enemy that may
appear, and when seen she is not slow
to give the alarm, which oftimes is a
great protection to the other fowls.
mence soon as 1t is warm in spring
and will be regular contributor to
the egg basket till fall, II not allowed
to sit. They can be raised as easily
as chickens and when they are raised
with chickens they will be as gentle
as chickens. The white Guineas are
finer table fowls than the colored ones,
as their flesh is Of lighter color, and
their skin more yellow. l don't think
any one could tell the difference be.
tween young guinea fried apd young
prairie chicken, and an old one Is as
an old prairie chicken. When Matched
with chicken hens they have TO be
shut up with hen four or five days
until they get used to the hens cluck,
then they can be turned out and fed
the same as chickens. They are
great foragers, always on the go, and
catch great many insects. II they
want to go into the garden. let them
60 for they will not scratch up any
thing, and are not likely to eat any
thing but insects and worms.--A. z.

Profits In Sheep.

In the management of sheep how to
produce the greatest profit from the
flock is the first consideration; not
how to produce the greatest number
of lambs, as is usually the case with
the young shepherd, but to produce an
animal that will give the greatest
profit for the labor and expense in
volved. We will suppose that the
shepherd has secured his flock Of ewes
in the fall. What breed? Well, that
is matter Of fancy; any Of the good
breeds will do, so long as they have
been judiciously selected. The next
and greatest consideration would be
the selection of a ram. He should
be big, strong and rugged, and, above
all things, typical of his breed and
full Of quality. The eve influences
only her own progeny, the ram the
whole flock, and on him depends its
improvement or retrogression. A
strong shearling or older ram is ca
pable of serving from 80 to 70 ewes,
or more, according to treatment. If
he has only so ewes, he may be al
lowed to run with the flock, and fed
night and morning. II from so to 100
he will require to be kept inside and
only allowed one service of each eve,
night and morning, as they come IN
season. 1t is good plan to mark the
rams breast it'll lamp black mixed
with oil, and in ten or fifteen days
change the color. The ewes rump is
thus marked, and according to the
color the time of lambing is calcu-
lated.-A. ID. Gamley.

The Kitchen Garden.

While gardening is steadily on the
increase, yet it is a deplorable fact
that many farmers have little or no
garden and by this means deprive
themselves of a privilege that should
be taken advantage of by every one.
Nothing is more healthful or more
easily produced for the use OF the
family than good supply of garden
vegetables of all kinds. Thus it is
that nearly the entire living of the
family can be secured from such a
garden for several months In the year,
and that living is the most healthful
and palatable of anything that can be
furnished, especially when fruits are
added. We would not advise farmers
who are not within easy reach of a
good market or canning establish
ment to attempt to raise much more
than enough for their own use, be-
cause in great many places the bust
ness is overdone and prices are kept
at low figure. This, coupled with
the prevailing scarcity of help, ma
terially interferes with the looked for
success. when carried on on large
scale.-John Vanloon.

The Calf and the Cow.

The dairy calf, to be raised econom.
ically and with the greatest chance of
developing into valuable dairy COW,
must be raised by hand, says j. III.
Grisdale. True, considerable skill and
careful attention are necessary to sue.
coed along this line, but careful OBJ
servance of four or five principles will
insure success: First, regularity of
feeding; second, uniformity in guam.
tity of food; third, uniformity in quail
ity OF food: fourth, uniformity in tenn
perature OF food; fifth, cleanliness.
The young calf should be fed at least
three times a dag for two or three
weeks, and preferably four times. The
ration the first week or ten days
should consist Of whole milk fed at a
temperature Of about 100 degrees
Fair. This ration may be gradually
changed to skim milk by introducing
a small amount into the whole milk
ration and gradually increasing the
proportion, being careful to feed al
ways at the same temperature. The
place OF the fat removed in the cream
may be taken by oatmeal or flaXseed
meal boiled, being careful to make
but very slight addition In the usual
amount at any one time. Most Ills
that calves are heir to arise from a VIC.
lation OF some one of the principles
have mentioned or from lack OF
cleanliness. Almost every case OF
| scours or indigestion may be traced
| to some sudden change in the time OF
feeding, the quantity or temperature
OF food fed. 'The boy is father OF
the man" is trite saying, but even
more surely the calf is mother OF
the COW. The ill-fed, dyspeptic. un'
thrifty calf can never hope to develop
anything but commonplace COW, and
two or three successive generations OF
calves so treated are surely enough
to chill the aspirations of the most
sanguine dairy man. The calf once
past the age Of three months is usual
ly safe, the danger from that time or
lying In the risk Of getting too much
food and taking on fat rather thar
growing. 1t is usually best to breed
when about Is months old and wher
four or five months advanced in preg

Spraying is Necessary.

In an address on spraying, Prof. F.
M. Webster said: The cp er worm,
the tent caterpillar, leafrollers and
other native leaf-eating insects, find
instead of an occasional wild cherry
tree, wild crabapple tree or wild plum
tree, whole acres of improved varie-
ties of these, acres upon acres of
raspberry, blackberry, strawberry and
grape. Grass feeding insects find
hundreds and thousands of acres of
grassy plants more tender and juicy
than the natural grasses. Is 1t any
wonder that native insects, before
confined to less number of less
fruitful trees, with an occasional year
that permitted almost no fruit at all
to grow, thus almost exterminating
them, should, under such favorable
conditions as are offered by our pres
ent system of fruit, vegetable and
grain culture, thrive and increase in
numbers far beyond what they would
under less artificial and less favor
able surroundings? We first create
an environment, unnatural and vast.
ly more favorable than the original
for the development of insect enc
mics Of our crops, and bring about the
very conditions that these insects are
intended to prevent, and then wonder
why it is that they do what is the
most natural things in the world for
them-feed and breed in the midst of
plenty. 1t has always seemed to me
that the fruit grower who planted out
his orchards, vineyards and berry
fields, and gave them no protection
from their natural enemies, was do
ing about what commanding general
would do IL he were to send divi-
sion Of his army into the enemy's
country and not support 1t with other
troops. It is as plain as can possibly
be that the fruit-grower must use arti-
fetal measures to fight the enemies
of his crops, II he expects to succeed.
The present conditions are now what
they are, and we cannot now change
them. This being true, 1t is mani.
testify the proper course to pursue, in
seeking by artificial means to coun.
teract, so far as possible, the adverse
effects of these present conditions.
Thus, the spraying Of plants with in
secticides and fungicides Becomes i'm
perative.

Cover Crops and Peach Trees.


The location of the peach orchard
and the moisture supply of any one
year have much to do with the value
Of a cover crop. The peach orchard
located on a level plain and the peach
orchard located on hillside will be-
have very differently under almost any
condition. The hill location is the de-
sirable one; the plain location the un-
desirable one, at least in the northern
states. There are many orchards in
both situations. In most years, espe-
cially in dry years. the cover crop,
planted in midsummer will do more
good on the low land than on the high
land.
The main object Of planting some
kind OF cover crop now. say of mil
let, is to stop the further growth of
the trees and to force them to ripen
their wood. Young peach trees are
very much inclined to grow too long
in the summer and fall. This is due
to the fact that the peach Is natur'
ally a rather warm country tree and
requires long season to get Its
growth and mature, which Is also true
OF some varieties Of apples. A cover
crop planted at this time will begin
in few weeks to take up the surplus
moisture from the ground and to shut
off the amount that the peach tree
can get. This Is a desirable thing
at this time of year, for the trees have
obtained all necessary growth by the
middle Of July. If they are checked
at this time the rest of the season will
be spent hardening up their wood fol
winter.
For the same reason cultivation OF
peach orchards should not be contin
ued after this time. Clean cultivation
is a great conserver of moisture, and
such conservation has the effect Of
stimulating the continued growth Of
the peach tree. Many an orchard ha:
been ruined by this treatment. 1t II
not desirable to let an orchard 60 t.
grass, but on the other hand 1t is no
desirable to carry the stimulation in
duced by clean culture too far.
1t has been found that on high land
orally than on low land. The tree.
will frequently stop growing anywa!
at about this time, whetL er cultivated
or not later, and will begin to mature
their wood. Possibly in very we
year this would not be the case, ant
growth would continue too late here
as well as elsewhere. 1t is therefore
safe to use cover crop, even on higf
situations, as wet summers and fal
are always possible. Moreover the
cover crop acts as a protector to the
roots of the trees during the cold o.
winter, and prevents the frequen
freezing and thawing of the ground
In case of a very wet season inducing
growth, there is this much gained
| anyway. ....
Several stations are carrying on ex
periments with cover crops, and thei
results are being published from tim
to time. Their work will be CAREFUL.

crops have great bearing on tn

When Baby Alice tirst saw a cow

thought 1t so funny that nothing could
induce her to leave the spot. She stood
