When picking over potatoes or ap-

think it pays better than to feed them

the mash or throw few raw ones

day.
The winter peach blight which has

a PROFITABLE COW.
The Experience Of One Man Who
Made II Pay.

I nve I'm tho outskirts Of a small
city and have an occupation that takes
most OF my time. | find opportunity,
however to take care of two cows,
which / find very profitable. writes a
correspondent Of Farmers Review.
Probably they would not be so profita-
Bile If | made dairying my business.
But as ! am content to keep the two
cows as a side issue, find the returns

got into the business by accident.
A neighbor was going to move away
and had an exceptionally fine COW
with a calf at foot. The cow had no
pedigree and belonged to no particular
breed, but she was one of the kind we
often meet with among the cows of
no pedigree She was perhaps six
years old, though no record existed of
her age. | judged by her horns.
was a little doubtful about the wisdom
of buying her, but found out by eX-
perience that | had no reason for t'iat
kind OF feeling. Her milk was "ich
and thought then very rich indeed.
As | never used the Babcock test |
do not know just how large per cent
of butter fat there was in IT, i think
1t must have been at least five per
cent. milk. The yield was large, run
ming on some days to more than Is
quarts. which | hold is a good yield
for a COW. In this connection | wish
to say that ! have heard great many
people tell about their COWS giving 20
and more quarts per day, when |
have felt sure that they were guess
ing at the amount their cows were Civ
ing. One of the popular errors among
farmers and others that own cows is
to believe that their cows give more
milk by so per cent than they do.
The COW above mentioned gave on
the average perhaps ten quarts of
milk per day, but she gave 1t the year
around, for balance up her short dry
time with the flush time after calving
when she gave a very large amount
of milk. Some of this milk was set
for cream out of which to make but
ter, but most OF it was sold to people
that came for 1t. In 31a months the
COW and calf had paid for them
selves, and after that we fire.
quently took in for milk from that
COW about $40 per month, besides hav-
ing what we wanted to use on our
table.
That led to the buying of another
! COW. and after that the purchase of
two more. That proved to be too
many for me to care for. and we cut
the number down to two. | think 1t
is more profitable to have two good
cows than four cows of Indifferent
value.
One of my neighbors became so in.
terested in the matter of milk produc-
tion that he went in too deep and
failed to make very much money. He
had seven or eight cows at one time,
and he was not engaged in dairying as
a business either. He did not have
! enough~cows to Justify him in keeping
a hired man, and so his wife had to
turn in and help take care of the cows.
| | am sure that il became an element
of contention in the family and led to
| much unhappiness. One should know
] where TO draw the line. If one is con
! tented to keep two good cows it is
better than half keeping four poor
ones, and there is more profit in It.

CARE OF TREES.
The Relation of Pruning to Fruit Pro-
duction.

Pruning so as to maintain balance
between fruit production and wood
growth is of vital Importance to the
fruit grower, because upon such bal
ance success or failure depends. In
nature the trees come into close con-
tact with other trees and a struggle
for existence between them results,
the stronger ones crowding out the
weaker. In cultivation, this struggle
for existence between trees is elm
mated, and they are given an oppor-
tunity to develop without much com
petition. 1t is obvious that undel
such conditions, the natural tenden-
cies and functions of the trees are
often thrown out of harmony.
If the soil is very fertile, or espe-
cially rich in nitrogen, the wood pro-
ducing functions tend to crowd out
the fruit-producing functions, or, ii
the soil is poor. fruit production is en-
couraged at the expense of wood pro-
duction, and the vitality is affected
This may result in premature death
Often under conditions such as these,
intelligent pruning may correct the
difference.-Prof. L. p. Sansten.

Something About these Enemies Of

Cutworms are not properly worms
