Dairy Wis d o m

If the pastures begin to get short
keep The COWS in the stable away from
the flies and hot sun and give them
plenty of cut green feed, says the
Farm Journal This should have been
provided for Turn them out in good
clean pastures at night.
Ii allowed to shrink in milk at the
first shortage ia pasture no amount OF
after feeding will bring COWS up to
their former profitable production until
they come fresh again.
To make "a profit in the dairy there
must De au even hOw of milk during
the whole OF the milking period.
Tie feed must lie uniform. Good
management can easily make this pos
sible
Frequent changes Of pasture and
plenty of soiling crops are within the
easy reach of every intelligent dairy
man.
a fresh bite will stimulate the appe-
tte. The more COW eats with relish
the more she Will produce.
Some dairymen try TO see how little
they can keep their cows alive on. No
wonder that they are always in "hard
luck
Don't allow the flies TO eat up the
calves. Remember that their skin is
thin and delicate and that flies can sap
moro blood than the calves can make.
Give the calves drink Of pure,
clean water every day, no matter if
they ere getting milk.
Always have a chunk of rock salt in
every pasture, also in the COW yard.
Did you know that 1t does make a
difference whether or not COW stands
in her own stall at milking time? Just
look into this little. You will see that
not one cow out of n dozen will act or
feel at home in a stall where she is not
in the habit of going. This means that
her mind will be on something else.
Ii may be she Is having tussle over
the partition with another COW. Any
way, her milk will show a lack in
quantity and surely in quality.

4 Profitable Grade Dairy.

Numerous items have been printed of
late showing that dairying, when well
directed. is profitable. 1t is doubtful
if any dairy can make better ac-
counting than that of G. 5. Morris at
Portlandville While the price paid to
Mr.. Morris is low, yet the record is cX.
ccllent. From March /, 1905, to March
!, 1906, twenty cows gave 1sj,521
pounds of milk, an average Of 9,27G
per COW. The milk sold on the aver
age for $1.OS 1-3 per hundred pounds,
making the total receipts $2,O1S.S0, an
average of SlOO54 per COW. Three
two-ycar-old heifers were included in
the dairy. The cows are all grade Hol-
stems. To be accurate, it should be
stated that Mr.. Morris fed to the dairy
about 5000 worth Of grain during the
year, tsego ~. y Farmer.

seems that a cavalry regiment
had been temporarily detached
from Stahel, and he wanted it
back again in case of an emer-
gency. At that time the Only
Confederates near Washington
were the few men serving with
me.

me, l was perfectly willing to
lead them wherever l was will
ing in person to go. About sun
down we got to Herndon, where
we had made a raid the week
before. 1t was five or six miles
from Dranesville. Here / learned
that Stahel had withdrawn the
cavalry from Dranesville; never
theless, we went on, intending
to spend the night in the neigh
borhood and hoping to find
some game the next day. But

so he fired. There was Stir and
a\crash, and a man came tum-
bling down through the ceiling
among the men in the room
below. 1t was Major Wells. We
brushed the whitewash off his
clothes, mounted him with the
rest of our prisoners and set off,
having meantime disposed Of a
nice lunch which the woman of
the house had set for the officers.
Major Wells was exchanged in
time to take part in the Gettys-
burg campaign, where he won
great deal of distinction and was
made brigadier general. (The
next time we met was in August,
1885, in San Francisco, on the
day | arrived from Hongkong
where | had been consul for
nearly seven years.)
Our daylight surprise party
had been successful in every par
ticular and the results were be-
yond our expectations. We
brought off major, a captain,
two lieutenants, twenty-one
men, and twenty-six horses,
with arms and equipments. The
privates were paroled and went
home. The officers were sent on
parole to General FitzHugh Lee
at Culpeper.
AS appears from the following
letter from General R. E. Lee
to President Davis, General
Stuart had forwarded to him my
despatch reporting the affair:

Screech OF an owl were regarded as concerted
signals of attacks, and drew fire all along the
lines. On March 80 General Abercrombie informed
headquarters that his scouts reported that Stuart
was at Aide, not twenty miles away, and in a
postscript added, And Mosby with another force
on the left of him." Stahel told Hentzelman that
Stonewall Jackson also reported to be at A1die
but he was incredulous, another scout had come
in and quoted his fears. Both Stuart and Jackson

word that the men of the 18th Pennsylvania were
not worth capturing they had no pistols and

The records show that Stahe1 had at that time in
Fairfax present for duty 4o77 cavalry, while the
aggregate present was 57,3o7, and yet on April %
he wrote to Heintzelman, who in command of

they assumed the character of belligerents
and put on the Confederate gray uniform.

a foray on the enemy's lines defending

was to compel them to contract their lines
or reinforce them; either would be benefit

Colonel Wyndham, the English adven-

a Hungarian, who had been soldier urder
Kossuth. In report to the War Depart
nent, Stahel says that the day after

report at once to President Lincoln. He
told me of the capture of General Stoughton
and the insecure condition of our lines in
front of Washington 1t appears there
was something of a panic in Washington,
for fear we might ride up to the White
House some night. But Stahel does not
