Comparisons Of Dairies.

If those from whom the COWS are
purchased should take the same view
of the matter as the dairyman the
that would place them beyond the
reach of those desiring them for the
dairy, but the breeders of such cows
find a profit in keeping calves in or
der to sell them at maturity to the
dairyman. What is the consequence
of this mode of conducting a dairy?
1t Is that the dairyman keeps twice as
many COWS as he shoHld, In order TO
derive a quantity of milk and butter
that may be produced from a smaller
number of animals. II the yields from
any two dairies are compared II will
be noticed that the product of one Is
different from that of the other, for
II is an irhpossibility to collect herd
of common COWS of uniform quality,
and even II the yields from the two dai-
ries approximate certain amount
difference will be created by the meth
DDS of management, no two dairymen
following the same rule. In purchasing

upon the honor of the dealer, and until
tested the dairyman cannot know
whether he has bargain or not. For
tunately, our common stock of the
present day is better than that Of a
few years ago, but ii is due solely TO
the infusion Of an occasional dash of
thoroughbred blood.
Observations of many dairies will
reveal the fact that majority of them
use mostly common COWS. The term
Common" includes not only the scrub
native but also those cows that, though
somewhat above the average, are un-
known to the dairymen SO far as their
breeding is concerned. The pretext
for this is that dairymen can better
afford to buy cows than to raise them.
Calves and heifers require room in
the stables, and the dairymen are more
disposed to utilize such places with
COWS in full flow of milk rather than
to keep young stock, they believing 1t
more economical method of doing
business. ess.-Philadelphia Record.

and having deducted 1t from twenty to
remember the remainder.
Your intention, you will say, is to
tell him the hour he thought of, and
you are going to count around on
the dial promiscuously by pointing
with your pencil, and when you have
counted the number that he was to
remember as the remainder he must
stop you.
Let us suppose that he thought of
FIVE; then the remainder would be if
teen. You now count, mentally of
course, by pointing your pencil to diff
ferent hour marks, taking care to
point to the XII mark at the eighth
count. Then count backward in regu-
lar rotation to XI, X. TX, ETC., and
when you come to V, or five, he will
stop you, as this well be the fifteenth
count, corresponding to the remainder,
fifteen, which he was to remember.
You then know that five was the hour
thought of.
You point to XII at the eighth count
because twenty, the number from
which the hour is to be deducted, is
eight more than twelve. You may vary
the number from which the hour is to
be deducted, but the differenct between
that number and twelce is the count at
which you must point to XII and then
go backward.
Suppose you tell him to deduct the
hour from eighteen. Then point to XII
at your sixth count, because eighteen
is six more than twelve. A variation
Of this kind will make the trick all the
more mysterious.-New York Herald.

Arguments for Orchard Cultivation.


am aware that there is a strong
prejudice in many parts Of Massachu-
setts against the cultivation of apple
orchards. This is only prejudice, how
ever, / am sure, and will be overcome
in time. ! have never yet heard of a.
man having an orchard suitable for
cultivation who, having once fairly
tried good cultivation with modern
orchard implements, has afterward
gone back to SOW his orchard down
to grass. On the other hand do
know of men who have made the op-
posite change. namely, from the sod
system to cultivation, and who have
found it entirely satisfactory. could
show instances of this In some Of the
largest and best orchards In western
Massachusetts, and still more so in Ver-
mont, where I have been longer ac-
quainted.
The arguments against cultivation
are commonly four: Q) that plowing
cannot be done in an orchard; (2) that
It Injuries the trees; (3) that 1t is too
expensive; (D that 1t Injuries the quail
ity of the fruit. These objections can
be answered very briefly.
1. The objection that 1t cannot be-
done is best answered by the fact that.
1t is done-done constantly and on a.
large scale. 1t is harder to do in an
old orchard which has never been cul-
tivated, and under such circumstances
may not be advisable. but, even so, It
can often be successfully and profitably
accomplished. have myself once
done this with an orchard Of two acres.
of badly neglected trees between 30
and 40 years old, and the results were
entirely satisfactory.
Q. II an old uncultivated orchard is;
put under the plow, the tree roots are
considerably torn, and some damage
The best proof of this lies In the fact.
may result. Orchards cultivated from
the beginning are absolutely uninjured..
(which, by the way, Is fact) that
many of the very best orchards in.
every part of the country are under the
plow annually.
3. Cultivation Is more expensive
than doing nothing at all, but 1t pays
better.
4. There is some show Of reason in
the statement that cultivation has a.
bad effect on the fruit. The fruit is.
sometimes less highly colored and
does not keep quite so we'll. On the,
other hand, 1t is larger. sorts better at
the sorting table, and brings a larger
return to the acre, because there is'
more of it. Finally, ought to draw
attention to the fact that in the larg--
est, most famous and most successful
apple regions of this continent-Nova.
Scotia, upper Ontario, Western New
York, Michigan and the great apple
belt of the Central States-cultivation
is generally recommended and prac--

Toxic. The Japanese continue to

is little ground for expecting that it
will ever again engage the Japanese.
The battleship sevastopoi continue to
anchor outside, but possibly returns
to the harbor at night and anchors in
side the outer boom, which protects
her from torpedo boats. The recent
heavy weather has given added protec-
tion to the vessels.
Naval experts are discarding the
theory that the Russians themselves
sank any OF the ships. The fact that
the vessels first showed lists while in
exposed positions and the efforts made
to save the sevastopol are regarded
as conclusive evidence against the the
ory that they are being sunk by the
Russians. A majority of the senken
warships lie headed northward. They
received the bulk of the fire across
their port sides, and the fact that at
least some of them showed lists to
starboard gives rise to the theory that
Japanese shells exploded inside the
ships and against the starboard armor,
driving the armor outward and caus-
ing leaks. To make sure of the de-
struction of the Russian warships the
Japanese continue to drop shells into
