DAIRY FARMING.
II Furnishes a Harvest That Lasts
All the Year.

Dairy farming, which has been hap
PLY designated 1.-The harvest that lasts
ali .he year." enters into the field of
manufacturing more than any other
farming pursuit, since the dairy farm
er furnishes both the raw material
and finished product 1t enters both
into live stock raising and general
fang and for the greatest success
demands that those who follow it shall
have a thorough as well as practical
knowledge of the breeding and rails
ing of animals, no less than the plant
ing. cultivating and harvesting of farm
crops.
An Important Advantage.
Whole nations, as Denmark and Hol-
land, and whole states, as New York
porous by attention to dairy farming
and the production of butter, cheese
and milk of high quality, says Inland
Farmer. Many farmers have become
wealthy in land and money by the pur-
suit of dairying. Whole communities
have been built up and enriched by
the gentle dairy COW and the man be-
hind her. Dairy farming also has this
important advantage-that it restores
fertility to the land, while other sys-
tens of cropping take fertility from it
as each load of grain or grass is haul
ed away to be sold.
Some Hardships.
There are, Of course, hardships con-
nected with dairy farming and the
handling of cows, and often the ship
ping of the milk or cream and the
profitable marketing Of the same are
attended with difficulty. but were this
not the case it would be different from
most other pursuits of life and would
attract many from them.

Dairy Talk of Today.

tuberculosis Is now recognized as an
infectious disease caused and spread
by microbe or bacillus, and DR.. Sal
mon presents the various methods of
eradicating it from dairy herds. The
important features OF all methods are
the complete separation Of all affected
animals from the healthy ones, the
thorough disinfection of barns which
have been occupied by tuberculous
animals and the establishment of bet
ter sanitary conditions.
coIerins Butter and Cheese.
Questions about the coloring of but
ter and cheese under the pure food law
are frequent, SO let us state once more
that use of color in these products Is
permitted by law and that the presence
Of coloring matter is not required to be
stated on the package, says the Ma
tional Stockman and Farmer. The law
which specifically permits the coloring
of butter is twenty years old and that
which permits coloring of cheese ten
years old. They were not repealed by
the new law and are consequently still
in force.
Weighing Milk.
In a discussion at the late Vermont
dairy meeting a dairyman asked If
farmers did not overestimate the work
of weighing milk. He found it nothing
to do and scarcely any expense. Pro-
fessor Hills explained the weighing at
the university and said experiments
had proved that by weighing three
days a month and adding a cipher the
actual monthly result could be obtain
ed in 96 per cent Of the cases.
Milk Kept Seven Weeks.
A new process for keeping milk a
long time is announced by German
scientists. The milk is first treated
with peroxide Of hydrogen, which kills
the germs, but imparts peculiar taste
to the milk Then to each quart of milk
is added few drops of the ferment OBJ
tanned from beef liver, from which the
beef has been expressed. This sub
stance, it is claimed, destroys the un-
pleasant taste given to the milk by the
peroxide of hydrogen. At first thought
this new plan does not seem to be
adopted on large scale, and the dis
coverers admit that it Increases the
cost Of the milk or cents per quart,
SO that it would not be practical to use
except where fresh milk could not be
obtained regularly. 1t is claimed that
the milk so treated was successfully
kept for seven weeks.

Salt For Live Stock.

The horse prefers salt where he can
get at it at will rather than have it
forced upon him in his feed at irregu-
lar intervals. Some make a mistake in
putting salt in the horses trough each
time they feed him. The best way to
provide salt for the horse and other
stock as well is to place a small box
for that purpose near the feed trough.

Black Rot In tomatoes,

Black rot Is often very troublesome
in our early tomatoes, A Georgia
farmer says his early tomatoes brought
SO bushel last season, but most of
his first crop was unmarketable on
account Of black rot spots.
We have not yet learned how to con-
quer this disease. Possibly we may
cheek it somewhat by frequent spray
ing with bordeaux mixture, but our
main reliance must be found in allow
ing free circulation of air around the
plant by supporting the vines in such
q way as to hold the fruit up from the
ground. Last season our tomatoes
were free from rot or nearly so.-T. G.

SUCCESS IN bAIRYIRo.
A Pennsylvania Dairyman's Profitable
Method of Marketing Milk.

A progressive Pennsylvania dairy
man recently told in the National
Stockman and Farmer how he disposed
of his milk at good profit as follows:
Arrangements were made to place
the merits of our milk before the peo-
pie in a nice descriptive circular. A
mailing card for a request to have our
man deliver a sample bottle was put
into each circular, and these circulars
were put into every house in town
The circulars covered the following
points:
First-This milk is produced from a
tested herd absolutely free from tu-
berculosis.
Second-A certificate from a local
veterinarian, who tested the herd; also
statement from him in regard to the
sanitary conditions of the barn, etc.
Third.-An explanation showing the
Importance of clean milk from healthy
COWS to babies and invalids.
Fourth.-Instruction to consumers
how to take care of milk after it was
delivered to them and explaining the
danger of allowing milk to become con-
taminated.
A letter inclosing the circular was
also sent to each one of the physicians
in the town.
Results of the Plan.
Although we did not have a single
customer before we started, when we
were ready to deliver we had orders
for $50 quarts daily, and at the end of
thirty days we had sale for all we had
at that time, 200 quarts daily. We
have received for our milk 5 cents per
quart, delivered at the station. This
milk was retailed at cents a quart, 2
cents higher than the average price for
milk.
In town where ordinary milk sells
for 8 cents, 10 cents can easily be pro-
cured for milk of this quality. In 9TH
er words, in order to market milk at a
profit the farmer must first arrange
for the protection of milk cleaner and
better than the average and, second, to
carry on an advertising campaign to
educate people to appreciate good milk
and TO believe in his particular product.
A proper advertising campaign like the
above can be carried out anywhere for
a sum not to exceed $50.

A comparison of the telephone
development of New York with that

York has more telephones than
London and the ten other largest
cities of Great Britain combined,
according to a careful review just

DOCTORS MISTAKES

Are said often to be buried six feet under
ground. But many times women call on
their family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from
heart disease, another from liver or kid
ney disease, another from nervous pros
tration, another with pain here and there,
and in this way they present alike to
themselves and their easy-going or over
busy doctor, separate diseases, for which
he, assuming them to be such, preScribes
his pills and potions. In reality, they are
all only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician. ignorant of the

THE MONTREAL MUSKMELoN.

squash seed Just to one side Of where
melons are to be planted and do not
plant the latter until squashes are we'll
up.
The idea in planting squashes is OBJ
vious. The chief pest Of the melon
raiser is the little striped bug better
known as the cucumber bug. AS the
squash plant Is more hardy than the
young melon plant l use it as a trap
for the bugs, as they seem to like it
fully as well as the melon. On it they
seem to thrive and breed. BY the time
the melons are up the bugs have per-
formed their work and disappeared.
My rule is to plant corn first, and
then make the major part Of the garden,
including the melon planting, says a
Michigan farmer in American Agricul-
turist. ! sometimes use the hotbed for
starting my melon plants, planting seed
in inverted sods cut in squares about
3 by inches, and when plants are
grown to the proper size, say two or
three rough leaves each, 1 lift them
carefully, placing the sod on trays,
and set them, sod and all, in the per-
mduSuE I'LL. want 6C iedSC elSQC SOOQ
plants to each hill, as some are sure to
die. As they grow the weaker ones are
taken out until but three or four are
left, which is an abundance. After
plants are well on their way the
squashes are removed.
The Montreal muskmelon satisfies.
First, 1t is a model of beauty, being
almost spherical in form; second, Its
deep, dense netting gives protection in
transit: third, its size runs usually very
even, averaging in diameter from five
to six inches, thus making two even
standard grades; fourth, the quality Is
good; fifth, it is productive to fault
when conditions are right, which means
good soil, good culture and agreeable
weather. I have never raised more
than one-fourth acre of the Montreal
at time, and that season I picked
2,SS2 melons, nearly all marketable
specimens, from this patch. This is
the best I ever did.
The hills were planted 51a by 51a feet,
thus giving me 354 hills, which aver
aged eight nice melons each.

The Season of Pneumonia.

We are now IN the season when
pneumonia claims many victims. The
subject IS being discussed IN the mcdl-
cal and lay journals, and the general
CONSENSUS Of opinion is that there IS no
better preventive than the frequent and
freeus Of fresh air. The Albany Jonrn-
al very tfuly says those who are much in
all kinds of weather are rarely afflicted
with pneumonia "Also it is those
who spend much OF their time indoors

tribute the greatest number Of victims
