Slow Progress in Cattle Raising.

Mr.. p. NJ. Mccartney, a farmer liv.
ing in Illinois, says that many
farmers he knows do not properly APP
preciate the improved stock. He de.
sires to raise high.bred Herefords, but
he finds that all the farmers about are
raising only animals with no pedi-
grees, He declares that they think If
an animal has four feet and a head,
this is about all that is necessary. He
has tried both kinds himself and, in
fact, has both kinds to-day. He has
had them pasturing this summer side
by side. One high-bred Hereford has
been in the pasture with the other
cattle, all Of which were raised from
cows by him. The high-grade Here.
ford has been fed no more than the
other animals and cost no more as a
calf, but is to-day worth for beef at
least $40 more than any of the other
cattle.
He would breed his grade heifers 10
a Hereford bull, but there is no Here.

there any other male representative Of

illustrates a fact that we have many
times called attention to, that the lack
of good bull is a cause for the slow

localities where the farmers keep 5u,

MISCELLANY
Timothy and Clover.


There Is a controversy as to which
Is best for hay, clover or timothy.
With the thoughtful farmer there 10
no cause for controversy. Each Is
best in some circumstances. For the
feeding of dairy cows I certainly would
not advise anyone to grow timothy, for
1t lacks in the protein elements so nee
essary for dairy COWS. But 1t Is FAR
otherwise when the crop is being pro-
duccd to be sold on the open market
or to be fed to horses. Now, for most
purposes, the open market pays more
for timothy hay than for clover hay.
The public has long looked upon tim
othy hay as a standard by which TO
measure the value of all hays. | do
lot think a man could raise hay far
superior to timothy and sell 1t for the
same price as timothy. Timothy hay
has obtained n reputation with city
men and it will be many. many years
before they learn that timothy hay is
not the best for everything. 1t strikes
them as having substance, and for this
reason they feed it to every kind of an
animal they have that eats hay.
So if a man is going to sell hay he
should not mix them. But for himself
1t will pay 10 mix them in growing.
Sow clover and timothy together and
get a good crop Of exceptional value
for the dairy cows. 1t is also good
for the farm horses, for the clover is
rich in nitrogen, which is much lack
ing in timothy hay. Experiments have
been made in growing timothy hay
and clover together, with the result
that a greater weight of hay was pro.
duced from the same area than was
the case with either timothy or clover.
| cannot explain why more of the two
should be produced than would have
been OF the one, but the case is as |
tell it. | think, too, that there
is an advantage in handling the
mixed crop, as the two are more
easily cured than is red clover alone.
| am not sure that stock like the mix
ture better, but am inclined to think
they do. The only disadvantage | see
in the growing of the mixed crop is
that if one wants TO sell a load the
mixed hay will bring a lower price
because it is miXed.-Walter Bisby,

Cement in Dairy Barns.

There has been a great deal OF dis.
cussion as to the use of cement in
stables. We find a great many in
favor OF the use of cement, and also
some men that hold very strong opin-
ions against the use of cement Some
dairymen claim that the cement pro.
duces rheumatism in cows, on account
OF being cold. Some have covered
their cement floors with boards to
protect the cows from the cold. This
Of course largely nullifes the use of
cement, as the boards largely tend to
hold dirt and dampness. 1t seems to
some that If boards are TO be used
over the cement there will he very
little call for the use of cement in the
standing places of the COWS. The
Farmers Review desires the opinions
of its readers on this matter and also
their opinions relative to the use of
cement for watering troughs Far

Black Sheep.

Black sheep were very prominent in
the fiocks of old times, and they have
remained numerous in the focks of
modern times, but have been used
mostly for mutton. Before the advent
of the great factories for the working
up of wool, wooden goods we're made
largely by hand, or with the help of
machines driven by hand or foot pow.
or. At that time the wool Of the black
sheep was highly priced, or priced as
much as the wool of the white sheep;
for with these two woods several col
ors could be woven into garments.
There was the black garment, the
nearly white garment and the gray
garment, produced by combining the
two. Black cloth and gray cloth
Of this kind had the advantage over
modern fabrics that there was no
question about their washing. Nature
had put the color into the black that
defied both soap and sun. But when
the big factories began to be estab.
lished, regular systems of coloring
were adopted. and the factory men
did not care to bother with the black
WOOL. Al IeaSt tnere was no premium
paid for it and the white wool re-
ceived the greater share Of attention.
1t was not strange, then, hat shep-
herds all over the country, in select
ing sheep for mutton, chose the black
ones. There was a desire to obtain
uniform wool. From that day to this
there has been a continual warfare
waged on the black sheep. The num-
Der of black sheep, however, appear
ing in different fiocks, still remains
large. There is a constant tendency
for the production of black sheep. and
in some countries at least half the
sheep are still black. 1t may be that
the day will come when we will again
have flociis of black sheep as we'll as
flocks of white sheop.-Frank Kidder,

Working Butter.

BY using water colder than
the butter, it will prevent
the particles adhering to each other
while the salt is added and thoroughly
mixed throughout the granular mass
while in the churn. Let the butter re-
main In the churn, or place in boxes
or tubs for three or four hours where
the temperature is low. Sailing this
way requires less working to make
an unmottled butter, and improves the
texture and grain. A little extra salt
should be used. Use only some espe-
cially prepared butter salt which has
been kept clean and free from of.
fens!ye odors. The amount of salt to
be used will depend on the market.
Care should be taken, while handling
or working the butter, not to injure
the grain by overworking or working
while too warm or too cold, or allow
ing n spade, etc, TO draw or slide
over the butter. Salt should be dis
tributed evenly and butter worked suf.
iciently to give it an even COLOR.

Whitewash on Fruit Trees.

The use Of whitewash on fruit trees
is practiced in many of the fruit grow
ing sections of the eastern states.
There the apple trees especially, are

far up as the branches. During re-
cent years experiments have been
made 10 determine If the spraying OF
the entire tree with whitewash has
any effect in protecting the buds from

effect is in that direction, but is not
