THE FARM COW.
A Very Large Factor in the Butter
Making Industry of the
Country.

The real butter maker of the enun-
try is the farm cow whose milk never
goes to the creamery. This COW is
least often heard from, because she
is less in the light of public obfsrva-
ton than the COW that is producing
milk for the creamery. Yet. the total
amount of butter made on farxns in
the United States is far greater than
the amount made in creameries.
So our greatest hope still lies in
the COW that gives milk for thy maxi
ing of farm butter. The spirit of i'm
provement is abroad and these are
multitudes of farms on which good
COWS are taking the place Ct poor
ones. 1t is impossible to estimate
how great this improvement is. A
farmer that has 30 COWS said to the
correspondent of the Fairness Re-
view: 'My cows made ego pounds of
butter in March. and think am do
ing pretty we'll, as only % of them are
giving milk that can be used for but
ter making. That is about a pound
per day of the cows giving milk, and
we have the by-prOducts to help swell
the profits"
That mans herd six years ago was
doing only half as we'll as the above
statement would indicate, but the man
has been selling his poorest COWS and
replacing them with good ones right
along.
Up to the present time the good
farm COW has not been appreciated,
and for this reason her price has
not been much above thai of the poor
farm cow. But change is going on
and the time is not far distant when
so many farmers will as looking for
profitable COWS that tbs extra mixer
will bring a fancy prize at any time
of year.

Our illustration shows moderate

I did not sketch in all the many roots,

of the Red Dutch type. and believe
it would be possible by burying all the
branches of a single ten-year-old bush
to root 300 or more plants. The plants
I dug would grade as first and sec
ond one-yeer plants, and If planted out
one year would make such plants as
are generally sold at one dollar per
dozen. Currants of the Fay or Cherry
type grow less spreading than the Red
Dutch and fewer layers could be
made in year, but those rooted would
be very fine and could be made equal
in one year to the average two-year
plant as grown from cuttings. To
grow currants from cuttings it is best
to take cuttings in September, says
the Ohio Farmer. bury until spring

She was absorbed in copy of the

glancing at his fair companion out
of the corner of his starboard eye.
The wind freshened. and he pro-
ceeded to button his light overcoat.
But the top button was unaccount-
ably missing. To the best of his
recollection it was there when he
boarded the boat. The breeze, or some
thing, must have torn it off.
Mechanically he detached the stick
pin from his necktie and pinned the
two flaps securely together. Then he
resumed his reading.

his partners were given the move, and
they elected to play a queens pawn at
tack. A favorite variation of Phillips
was brought about but DR.. Lasker skill
fully stopped it, and obtained strong
counter attack by the unexpected sac
rlfice of pawn. Later he regained the
paws, exchanged rocks and won by ex-
ceedingly clever king play after So
moves. Lasker's end-game play, with
king and pawns, has been the marvel
of chess players ever since he won the
championship and was never shown to
better advantage than IN this exhibi-
ton. He made no attempt whatever to
win piece, but Unanswered steadily
to get his king into q winning position
The allied players defended stubbornly,
out were bound hand and foot after the
twentieth move, as far as offense was
concerned, and Lasker merely maneu-
vered to hold them SO until he could
bring his king from kings knight
square 10 queens rock four, where he
had announced to the spectators that
1t would win. Then he exchanged ev-
eryth1ng and won by his king play in
lew moves. 1t was a typical Lasker
game, showing all the delicate touches
and the absolute precision that has al
ways marked his play. DIR. Emanuel
Lasker was born in Berlin in 1868.
Early in life he showed himself preco-
cious In mathematics and when u
years old first took an interest in
chess. He received his education in
the gymnasium at I.andsberg and later
studied higher mathematics at Berlin
and Heidelberg. Lasker's brother was
an expert chess player. In 1889 Eman.
uel entered the Haupt TURNER at Bres-
lau and surprised his friends and COM
petitors by carrying off all the honors.
Since that time he has been the adj
mitted master of the science and his
career has been a series of triumphs.
In 1895 and 1896 he won from Steinitz,
Pillsbury and Tschigorin at st. Peters,
burg. He has been challenged only
once. Marshall, the American expert.
tried to arrange series of games but
the match fell through.

SHEEP WITH DAIRY.
How One Successful Farmer Ieels
About q Combination Of
the Two.

have always been q lover Of sheep.
and have owned a flock ever since I
was IL years old. Years ago the
amount of wool was the object sought
for, and when it brought from Is cents
to 81 per pound the Merinos were
strictly in it, shearing from seven to
ten pounds per head. and small hocks
often reaching u pounds; but of later
years mutton has been more of an oh.
ject than wool, and especially lambs.
for that reason we look to the large
type of coarse wooded breeds. After
looking over the different breeds,
saw none that l thought was any
better for wool and lambs than the
Shropshires. They are excellent moth
ers. very prolific. and, when fed and
cared for. give lots of milk. My flock
average about eight pounds of wool
per head and seldom have less than
three lambs to turn out for two ewes
and often every eve will have twin
lambs. Two years ago all had twins
but two. and they had triplets. I lost
only one lamb. and that got killed.
They are quiet breed. that is, mine
are; are easy to handle for large
sheep. and the lambs are always tame.
1t makes a great difference about
sheep being afraid of the one in charge
of the flock.
Now. as to the profits of keeping
sheep with dairy, do not exp.ct all
will agree with me, writes a CORE.
spondent of the Rural New Yorker.
Profits depend on the man ard the
management to great extent. My
flock average about s. per head from
wool and lambs. Two years ago they
averaged Sill per head. When we were
all making butter instead of selling
milk. made as much butter per COW
as those that did not keep sheep
around here; our make averaging 300
pounds per COW for the year. For that
reason I came to the conclusion that
the flock was not detriment to the
pasture for the cows.
The sheep will take care of them.
selves, for they are up at daylight and
feeding. They will pick their living,
four weeks earlier in the spring than
cows will. If you keep your cows built
up, and with good flow of milk. you
can begin to feed them in August.
while the sheep will care for them
selves until the middle of November
I never house my sheep until about
lambing time. They have a shed that
is always open for them. and see that
they are in. if cold storm comes on.
but otherwise they are always out in
the open. Oats always give me salts
faction when fed to them in the win.
ter. I generally save load or two
of sheaves for the sheep, as they are
fond of grinding their own feed. Once
in awhile give a feed of corn. just
for change. and feed beets as long
as they last; then a mess of potatoes
once week.
Since feeding in the above manner
and with plenty of outdoor exercise.
have had no. weak lambs to bother
with. The last of February and frs:
of March suits me for the lambs to be-
gin to come. When they are about
two weeks old they begin to eat Ill
tie grain. They have all they care to
eat until they go out to grass: and
they get very tame by being with them
so much. When go to the barn aud
sit down in about five minutes l have
a row of lambs around me.
