Winter Prices for Milk.

"eUISr V6lCS8 uOe WSUNs
The price for milk in the winter
10 generally very much higher than in
the summer. The difference for the
whole country is about the difference
Between SO cents and $1.50. This diff
ference. however. is extreme. In the
West. some Of the milk will sell as
low as 80 cents per hundred pounds
In summer and $1.40 in winter. this
difference being about so cents. There
10 very little excuse for this great
difference in price, especially for the
small price in summer. 1t can only
be explained on the supposition that
farmers have not yet learned how to
dispose of their milk In the summer
time. We believe that, all things con-
stdered. and on well equipped farm,
milk can be produced as cheaply. or
nearly as cheaply, In winter as sum-
mor.
In the summer. often the question
of milking is serious one, because
all the people on the farm are en-
gaEed in looking after the crops that
are then being grown. In the winter
time. labor Is more abundant and the
people who are doing the work on
the farm are less pressed for time.
Milking. therefore, should cost less in
the winter than in the summer. We
said, 'on the farm that is well
equipped" This. of course, means the
farm that has a silo and where a
great amount Of silage has been put
up in the fall. On some of our great
est dairy farms the cows are not
turned out at all during the summer
time. so far as pasturing is concerned;
but they are fed in the stalls. summer
and winter, in such cases winter feed
costing practically the same as sum-
mer feed.
The price for winter milk in north
ern Illinois should be $1.40 or $1.5O
per hundred pounds. on the basis of
the present price of feed. We believe,
at such prices, 1t Is possible for the
farmer to make money. providing he
90 arranges his breeding operations
that about half of his cows will come
in fresh in the fall.

Cost Of TRANSPORTING Fowls,


Late in the fall or early in the
winter is the best time for the farmer
to buy poultry to replenish his stock
or to give him a high quality of
breeders. These should be mated early
in February. think 1t is better for
him to buy male birds, but he can do
much by buying both kinds. He need
rot be afraid to buy birds at con-
siderable distance from him, as they
can be shipped long distances without
deterioration. The cost of shipping
birds is not great when we consider
the bulk Of the bird and the trouble
any living thing is to the transporta-
ton companies. I shipped one bird
to Cripple Creek, COL, for $125, cost
of transportation. On one shipped to
Los Angeles the cost Of transportation
was $3.50. l have shipped several to
Kansas at the rate Of 81 cents each.
find that birds can be shipped in
winter without being in danger OF
taking cold, If they are boxed right.
Whether the birds are taken care Of
on the railroads is thing we cannot
know, as that depends on the en-
ployes. Some are careful Of such
things and some are not. Some farm
ers are afraid to buy from flocks at
distance because they are afraid OF
roup and other contagious diseases. |
can only say to that, that 1t Is neces-
sary to deal with reputable dealer,
and that Is true whether he lives near.
by or far away. The only way that a
farmer can know that he is getting
good birds and not scrubs when he
buys poultry is to educate himself
along the line of poultry, judging all
he buys by book called the Ameri-
can Standard of Perfection, which de-
scribes all the classes Of poultry now
in general use, with the exception of
a few breeds brought out recently.
which the American Association Of
Poultry Raisers do not yet admit as
standard breeds. II man pays for a
first-class bird and when 1t arrives
finds It is not what he paid for, the
remedy is for him to ship 1t back at
once.-Marcian p. Seavey, Cook Co.,

Stock in the Orchards.


A correspondent of the Farmers
causes of damage to orchards is the
practice Of farmers turning their
stock into the orchards. He says that
he has known farms where this did
more damage than all other causes
combined. We believe the conditions
are only occasional in which It is safe
to turn stock into orchards. The
condition where this might be done
wcn.d be where the land is so sandy
that it will not pack under the feet Of
the animals and the trees are headed
so high that the animals could not
browse the limbs. But this condition
is met with but rarely and not often
in the middle West. Our prairie soil
has in 1t a great deal of clay mixed
with humus and this when wet packs
readily. On our hillsides we often
find bowlder clay, and also In onr roll
ing land that has been timbered with
hardwood we ind a clay that. Is very
retentive Of moisture and will pack
down as hard as a rock. There is no
surer way Of killing a tree than by
packing the ground around 1t. We
have known Of hogs collecting around
a single apple tree more than around
others and killing that apple tree.
Hogs, however, are less Objectionable
in the orchards than other kinds Of
stock, for the reason that they root up
the ground and this improves the soil
rather than Injuries it. A small num-
Der of hogs may be given the run OF
a large orchard and not do any great
amount Of damage unless they collect
too much around one or two trees,
which II in clay soil are about sure to
be killed. We do not believe that, as
a general proposition. 1t Is safe to
permit stock to run in our orchards
in the middle West.

FEEDING for Milk.

Taking 1t for granted that the dairy
man has warm and comfortable win
ter quarters for his milch cows, a
good flow Of milk Is readily produced
with proper feed and management. II
the farmer has corn silage, he is able
to put up the best and cheapest dairy
ration obtainabie. We feed cows on
full flow of milk from 20 to Is pounds
OF silage twice day, morning and
night At noon, bright, clean clover or
millet hay is given, in such quantities
as will be eaten up clean. About three
pounds of bran is given with silage
to those on full flow of milk. while
Others receive proportionately less.
The feeder must constantly watch his
animals. as to how they respond to
liberal feeding, and vary his methods
with different animals. With silage
that has an abundance Of corn in 1t
there Is NO need Of feeding ground
corn.
Salt the cows about every other
day. giving small handful on feed.
This will keep their bowels open and
prevent disorders of the digestive
organs, which occur quite frequently
with animals highly fed. Where no
silage Is obtainable. good flow can
be maintained by feeding good clover
or millet hay in the morning and
bright shredded corn fodder at night
For the grain ration, feed about four
pounds OF bran and two pounds of
corn-meal, or four pounds of corn and
cob-meal. twice day. Although not
as good as the silage ration, still, in
the absence Of a silo, it will prove
very satisfactory. Feed, water and
milk the cows regularly; see to their
every comfort, treat them kindly at
milking time, and rest assured that
you will receive your reward in
good flow of milk.-H. Pfaender,

Foundation Of the New Poultry House.
Alter building 4 number Of poultry
houses one has certain important facts
impressed upon him. One Of these
tnat comes home with a good deal OF
force to the writer is the matter of
foundation. II he builds another poul-
.ry house he will see that the founda-
t!oh 10 perfect and that 1t will be more
tnan strong enough. A poultry house
.nut Is not properly built in this re-
spect VIII be q nuisance in several
ways.
Is customary to build poultry
houses on slopes where 1t can be done,
ana that Is proper. as 1t gives good
drainage. But In case the foundation
proves to be poor and needs to be
supported 1t will generally be found
very dinicult to do anything without
raising the house by means of Jack
screws The writer has had a very
vexatious task of this kind. The trou.
Die Is that one end Of the house is
SET so close to the ground that one
cannot get under 1t or even get at
the parts that need to be supported.
When a poultry house has to be
erected that Is twelve feet or more
wide there should be a row of sup
ports running the length of the house
under the very middle. Almost all
amateurs make the mistake of sup
porting the house only on the sides
and ends. The twelve-foot joists, even
though they be six inches deep and
two thick. have a very great amount
OF vibration and 1t is unpleasant to
walk over floor laid on such joists.
But If the time ever comes that the
house has to be used for another pur-
pose than poultry keeping. this kind
OF floor will be found to be unendur-
able. This possibility should be borne
in mind, for numerous poultry houses
become transformed in time into
houses for other purposes, especially
If they are Of good size
A fault that is very noticeable in
the building of most OF the houses
used by our poultry is that they are
merely set on posts stuck In the
ground for perhaps two feet. In few
years some Of these posts rot and
others get a lean on them out of
plumb due to the ground on one side
of the poultry house being softer than
on the other side. The rain gets into
the holes and the soil there becomes
softer than at any other point, and
this does not improve as the years
go by. Settling goes on year after
year. have in mind a poultry house
that cost nearly hundred dollars. 1t
was set on cedar posts and the posts
are badly rotted now In spite Of the
fact that cedar Is supposed to be re-
sistent to rot. Some Of the cedar
posts have also got out Of plumb, and
the house has moved over several
inches to accommodate the posts.
What the end will be nobody knows.
Build the foundations strong in the
first place. If the building is to rest
on supports Of any kind dig deep holes
in the ground and put in brick or
stone duly cemented. Have . big
timber running the length Of the
building and also resting on the same
kind Of piers. This will cost little
more than the posts, but It will be
more satisfactory, and years afterward
the owner will be glad that he so
invested the money that the good foun.
dations cost.
