Good Corn tiusking Records.

Henry Field, scotsman and gardener,
of Shenandoah, Iowa, sends to the Tri6-
une Farmer an account of remarkable
corn husking record made recently by
Charles Rennack in that town. The
corn was standing in the field. AT Z A.
NJ. Mr.. Rennack started into the field
without driver for his team, and taking
two rows of corn at time, he gathered
il clean, took up the down ears, and
stripped the huSkS from the corn III
such good condition that the man who
backed time against him expressed him,
self well satisfied with the outcome and
that he had no objection OF any kind to
make.
The first load was driven out of the
field at :45 and twenty-five bushels had
been husked. At noon the corn weigh
ed out was 10l bushels and few pounds
The contest looked close and many
doubted that the young mat could make
his boast good.
After dinner until $50 o'clock, quit
ting time, Rennack worked like steam
automaton. His arms and hands moved
like machinery. For several minutes he
was timed and it was found that he was
averaging thirty-seyen ears OF corn to
the minute. He was lightly clad and II
spite of the cold weather perspired mos'
| freely, so that at the close of the contest
he was wringing wet. A part of the
time only one row of corn was husked,
| but the best time was made with two
rows. A comparatively low wagon box
was used and the loads were not heavy,
the biggest being less than thirty bush
els, and nine loads in all being husked
The weights of the loads were as follows
as gathered: 1859, 1,27O, l,2oO, l,4So
1,535, l,7S5, 1855, 1,707 and 1,945, max
ing total of POI bushels and IL pounds
allowing 10 pounds to the bushel.-Trib

Protecting Sheep From Dogs.

A method of dealing with sheep-kill-
ing dogs is given by a correspondent OF
the Prairie Farmer, which is better than
legal enactments, as the case is settled
without complaints, without lawyers,
Judge or jury. He says:
II have kept flock of sheep for sew
eral years, varying from 100 to over
:, 900 head, and for the last eight years
have not lost a sheep killed by dogs. l
keep my sheep yarded at night and oc-
casionally, varying from once in two
weeks to once month, go out at bed
time and place around the outside OF
the pen bits of meat containing strych-
nine which l take up again early in the
morning if not eaten during the night:
Result, immunity from dogs, and an old
well on the farm has received layer OF
dogs and a layer of dirt until it is about
full. have never killed mans dog
through malice, or anywhere except on
nv own premises and in protection OF
my own property, and have not, to my
knowledge, received any injury because
of the death of any dog. The plan is
Just and right, and every fair-minded
man must acknowledge it,"
He put out his strychnine meat only
once or twice a month, whereas
should think twice week would be
better if there were many dogs about.

Helm genally assented, but they
were delayed for some time by an Off
Ger who came in to consult with Ham
ilton on some pressing Indian affairs.
When they reached Roussillon place
they met Beverley coming out, but he
did not look It them. He was scarcely
aware of them. A little way outside
the gate. on going in, he had picked up
Alice's lockct and broken chain, which
he mechanically put in his pocket. 1t
was all like Il dream to him, and yet
he had clear purpose. He was going
away from Vincennes, or at least he
would try to 90, and woe be to Hamilton
on his coming back. 1t was so easy for
an excited young mind TO plan great
things and to expect success under ap-
parently impossible conditions. Bev-
erley gave Jean a note for Alice. 1t
was this tbat took him to RoussillOn
place. and no sooner fell the night than
he shouldcred a gun furnished him by

Winter Dairying Most Profitable.

AT one time the thermometer III the
Wisconsin University barn registered 80
F., and the cows were producing more
butter fat than they had done at any
time before during the year. Prof.
CARLYLE called attention to the fact that
the barn was we'll ventilated, and al
though the thermometer showed freez-
ing temperature, the air was dry and
did not feel uncomfortable.
Prof. Clinton Smith of Michigan agri-
cultural college had the noted Holstein-
Freisian COW, Rosa Bonheur, on rec
ord breaking butter-fat test. She was
kept in board stable, she being on one
side of the boards and the Michigan air
at 20 degrees below zero on the other
side. Prof Smith is a kind-hearted man
and thought that it was unfair to make
a great test under such cold conditions,
and ordered the COW into the warm barn.
But behold, She began to go down on
her butter fat yield. Upon returning
her to the ice box she returned to the
business of producing butter fat. In
March, spring weather came and the
cow began to drop off in fat production,
and it was impossible to get her back
again to her cold weather condition.
In the experience of the writer in
making official tests of Holstein-Friesian
COWS, winter weather has seemed to be
more favorable than summer weather.
The explanation seems to be that the
cows were digesting large quantities
of food. BY the process of digestion
heat was produced-in fact, more heat
than the cows had use for-and the cold
weather was of use in takiug the surplus
heat to keep them warm.
Do we then understand that good barns
are not necessary, and that the snnny
side of a straw stack will be just as
good an equipment for the dairyman?
By no means. Cows should be sheltered
from the cold winds and from rain and
sleet. 1t should not be forgotten that
Rosa Bonheur and the Wisconsin cows
were consuming large quantities of food.
A straw-stack-fed cow would not be in
the same class at keeping warm. On
the other hand, we do believe that
dairy cows have been kept in too close
in winter, in poorly ventilated stables,
with the result of injured vitality and an
| unnecessary prevalence of tuberculosis.
Now comes the point which has a
practical bearing and which we wish to
emphasize, and that is, that winter
'dairying pays best. Prices of dairy prod
ucts are highest in winter. Cows prop.
erly housed in ventilated stables, and
fed good quantities of food will produce
more butter fat out of that food, and
that butter fat will bring more money
per pound than in summer.-John w.
Decker in Michigan Farmer.
