GAMBLING in BREEDING.

The man that shuts his eyes and
breeds hit or miss with the hope OF
getting a good dairy COW is simply
gambling in breeding. Some have tried
to cross shorthorns with Jerseys,
Grernseys, Holsteins and Ayrshires,
knowing full we'll that the product
could not be in accordance with any
known dairy conformation. They sat.
isfed their curiosity and got an ami.
NAL that was not a special purpose
cow o a general purpose COW. Their
hopes of obtaining an animal that was
good for both milk and beef were
blasted. Sometimes the calf obtained
grew up into a good milk producer
and sometimes into a good beef pro.
Queer, but more often it grew up into
an animal that had neither virtue.
They had gambled and drawn a blank.
Someone has said that the general
purpose COW is a speculation pure
and simple.

Milk in the Stable.

A good many Keepers of COWS have
in the COW stable and behind the COWS
pegs on which to hang the milk pals
that are too full, of milk to prevent Of
their being further used at that milk,
ing. A man fills the pail, hangs it or
the hook and proceeds to milk an.
other COW. BY the time the milking
is completed several pals have been
hanging on the pegs for fifteen min.
utes to half an hour. In addition the
empty pals hung on the same pegs
before they were taken for milking
purposes and just as readily gathered
germs as when they had the milk in
them. So far as the mixer can see
there is no reason why this practice
should not be continued. The pals
look clean when they are taken dowr
to be used for milking purposes ant
the milk in the pals that have beer
hanging there looks as clean as any
other milk. The pals are hung tot
high up to catch any visible dirt. Thu
custom is bad, but its badness is hare
to prove, because only the student ant
the scientist knows that the air il
full of odors and germs and that the:
are constantly settling in the pail

The milk should be removed from tn

Loss of Soil Nisroaen.

The nitrogen OF the soil is one of its
most important constituents ana a fer
tilizing element that quickly disap-
pears. 1t volatiZes rapidly and one of
the chief agents of holding it in the
soil is the humus. When the hunus
becomes exhausted the nitrogen es-
capes with increased rapidity. Elk
perimeEts with continuous wheat
growing on tho same soil have shown
that the animal and vegetable matter
in the soil disappears very rapidly.
This causes the liberation of the nitro
gen. AS long as the nitrogen is in
combination with and forms a part of
the humus, or decaying animal and
vegetable matter of the soil, it is in a
stable form; but as soon as the hunlus
decays the nitrogen is liberated in
various gases and soluble forms,
which are easily lost from the soil. 1t
is the statement of scientists that
there is no element that is SO readily
lest as nitrogen. 1t is not possible for
the mineral forms of plant food, such
as potash and phosphoric acid. to be
SOAtfSl lCu lutO SdSGOuS anu SOluUsC
forms by the ordinary chemical
changes that take place in the soil,
as i'll the cas- of nitrogen. With
them the principal loss is in their
removal from the soiL as plant food.
But with humus it is different. There
is a loss of course of the plant food
by it's being used by the crops, but
much. additional>is leached downward
by the soil water and some is sent
off in the form Of gas when the humus
decays. We have an illustration Of
this in the decay of piles of manure
and vegetable matter. We say thai
we can smell the ammonia rising
from them; but that ammonia is the
gas into which the nitrogen in the
dccaying mass is being changed.
The loss of soil nitrogen can onl,
be prevented by keeping up the hui
mus in the soil. In most countries
rotation of crops alone is able
to do this. Some men brag that the.
have grown wheat year after year OF
the same soil for a generation with
out loss, but it will be found that sucl
soil was in the beginning very ricl
in humus. BY all means rotate. ant

Winter Grown Asparagus.

Asparagus a be grown in the cell
lar in winter wherever the owner
heats his house by means of a fur.
mace. The natural conditions in such
a cellar are favorable to the forcing
Of asparagus, as the temperature at
night usually hovers around SIS de.
grees and in the day time runs from
SIS degrees to so degrees. We do not
believe that the amateur will find
much profit in this. but some of the
professional gardeners do, and it may
interest some of our readers to try the
experiment and have a few messeG
OF tender asparagus in winter.
To get the results named, roots arr
dug up in the fall before the ground
is too hard frozen to make digging
them out possible. If the roots have
been frozen, so much the better, as
they then respond more quickly to
the forcing process. They are placed
in boxes in the cellar near the fur,
mace. Two or three inches Of soil
should be under the roots and five, six
or more inches of earth above, as tho
shoots need to be protected from sven
the dim light that is found in q Gel.
lar. Light is not needed to make the
roots produce shoots. as they produce
them from the substance laid up in
the roots, but do not take anything
from the soil. Nevertheless, much
moisture is needed, as the shoots can
not develop without the help Of a
good deal of water. A neglect in sup
plying moisture will soon render the
roots unproductive.
Roots should begin to produce
shoots in about twenty-five days after
being placed in the cellar. At some
of the stations roots placed in the
cellar about the first of December
have produced four or five good cut.
tings before the middle of February.
When the roots are done producing
they have to be thrown away. as they
will thenceforth be of no good for the
developing of tops and new roots

Working Brood Mares.


Some OF the leading horse breeders
mares in harness. They provide eS-
ercise in other ways in order to keep
the stock in vigorous health. AS a
rule these breeders have extensive
grass paddocks. into which the mares
are turned for several hours each day
throughout the winter season. Horse
breeders who neither work their
mares nor turn them out daily invari-
ably get a small proportion Of in
crease. Some foals are lost imma-
turely, and others are born so weak
that they die SOC afterward.
Most horse breeders, especially
those of long experience, prefer that
mares in foal should have regular ex-
-ercise in the form Of light work, but
jerking and straining should be avoid.
ed under all circumstances. For best
results it is a. good plan to use three
horses for work that would be re-
CURED of two under ordinary cir.
cumstances. This is not done at an
additional expense of one-third. be-
cause three horses will do more work
than two, if the speed alone is con
sidered. Then it often happens that
plows and c%ultiyators may be set an
inch or two deeper and the extra
work thus accomplished is worth a
great deal, although it may not show
on the surface. A man can drive three
horses faster than two and rest less at
the end of the row.

CooIina Milk in Winter,

Most milk producers now know that
milk must be quickly cooled in sum
mer to increase its keeping power,
but many do not know that the proc.
ess is also necessary in winter. Men
that make a business of delivering
milk know that at certain times in
winter they have as much trouble
with milk souring as they do in the
summer. The cooling of milk in the
winter should be done in exactly
the same way as it is in summer;
namely, by placing the milk in cans
in tanks of cold water as soon as the
milk is drawn from the cows. In the
winter ice and snow may be easily
obtained for reducing the temperature
of the water in the tank. AS this is
entirely without expense there is no
good reason why it should not be
done. Milk for all purposes will then
keep very much longer than if it is
not cooled after being drawn.

Usinu Good Rams.

While looking over some large
1ocks in Central South Dakota We
find too.many who do not appreciate
the use of a. first class ram. We have
recently seen a bunch Of GOO ewes
whose lambs alone would have brought
at least $500 or more. had a good
pure bred ram been used.
Feeders do not want them at hardly
any price and the eve lambs are not
fit to keep as breeders. When one
looks at these things from any point
of view, it is a puzzle to know why
SO many sheep raisers continue to
carry on the business in such a care
less manner. A good ven lot Of lambs
are always in good demand, while
poor ones are not wanted at all

chapped Tcats and Uddcrs.

AS spring M and the COWS are
turned out to pasture and lay around
on the damp ground many times there
is considerable trouble with their teats
and udders becoming chapped from
coming in contact with the damp
earth. Some COWS have become almost
unmanageable from the very cause
and you know the old saying that "an
ounce of prevention. is worth more
than a pound of cure" If one will
procure a box of vaseline and keep
in the barn, and as they notice any
hardening, drying or ehapping of the
teats rub the vaseline into them well
the trouble will soon disappear, but
il it gets well started there is sure
to. be serious trouble, which some
times takes a long time to cure.

The Grain Per Cow.

aL. .LL .--
The amount of grain to be given a
COW daily will depend Of course on
the size of the COW, and, to ONE cN-
tent, on the question of whether she
is tied up in the barn during the day
or has a large amount of exercise in
the open air. In the latter case she
can make use of more grain than she
can if she is kept stalled, and can put
it to a good purpose. Some of the re-
cent Investigations have put money
into the pockets of the farmers by
showing that our cows do not require
the very large amount of grain they
ordinarily receive. 1t used to be the
practice Of some Of the more ambitious
dairymen to feed fifteen or twenty
pounds Of grain to each large mixer
daily. 1t has been demonstrated that
a large part of this grain was wasted
and that generally not over eight
pounds Of grain can be used to advan.
t.age.
Previously a good deal of grain
went through thea animals undi-
gested and was dropped on the pas
lures without result, except as to the
small amount of fertilizer added to
the land. When the smaller amount
is fed it is more fully digested. 1t viii
thus be apparent that in tho past
u ignorance has cost us millions
of dollars in wasted food. Even yet
some of our dairymen have not
learned the truth in regard to this
matter and r still pouring large
quantities of grain into their cows

Potato scab.

The potato tubefs are often made
rough and scabby by the growth OF
the disease on their surfaces. These
injuries vary from a rough or russell.
ed appearance to deep scabs or ulcers
that greatly injure the appearance OF
the potato. Singularly enough, scah
is moro o1nmon in the best potato soil
than it is in localities where the CROP
is p%recarious. Sandy or gravelly soils,
when first brought under cultivation,
often give a large per cent of scabby
potatoes. but after n Or more crops
of alfalfa have been plowed under,
this tendency is partially corrected
