Feeding Cows for Profit.

A practical dairy farmer of Canada
referring to his own experience, in the
Farm and Dairy, lays down the follow.
ing rules for dairy feeding at the
greatest profit:
First, build summer silo and grow
more corn, using ensilage to supple
ment pastures in summer.
Second, take fifteen acres of land
ION l0-acre farm) near the buildings.
Divide into three equal fields. Follow
three-year rotation thereon.
First year: Corn, an early variety.
Feed in August and September.
Second year; Mixed grain, oats,
peas and barley -four bushels per
acre), seed down ten pounds red clov.
er, four pounds timothy per acre. Cut
quite green in July. Do not allow to
lodge
Third year: Clover cut in late June
and in early August.
Do not hesitate to feed this fifteen
acres of crop in the summer, even
should things look blue for the winter
forage supply. Let no consideration
prevent its utilization at the proper
time, rot even an abundance of grass
1t will always pay to feed such forage

Symmetrical Horses.

The veterinarian, Ramsay, lays down
rules by which symmetrical and per-
feet horse may be known. He says
the head is taken as the standard Of
measurement. Three and half geo.
metrical lengths of the head give the
entire height of the horse, counting
from the top of the forelocl to the
ground upon which he stands, provid-
ed the head is well carried. Three
lengths of the head equal the height
of the body from the top Of the with
ers to the ground; the length of the
same body from point of shoulder to
the point of buttock, inclusive. A
whole head gives the length of the
neck from the summit Of the withers
to the posterior part Of the poll, meas
uring in straight line; the height on
the shoulders from the top of the
withers to the point of the elbow; the
thickness of the body. from the middle
of the abdomen to the middle of the
back; the width Of the body, from one
side to the other.

Gypsum VS.. hardpan.

The problem of hardpan has been
Solved, it is said. V. Rambo has lands
between LerGo and Famossa on which
for years he has been unsuccessfully
trying to produce vines and trees. Ow-
ing to the hardpan lying close to the
surface, no results were obtained
Someone told Mr.. Rambo that some
one else had read somewhere that if
gypsum were spread over the surface
of the ground the hardpan would dis
solve. He tried it on a few acres and
the scheme worked lie then scattered
gypsum over 100 acres and now has
a quartersection of land as good as can
be found anywhere. The material
contains the elements which, carried
down to hardpan, causes that sub
stance to d!sintegrate, much as gaso-
lene cuts" grease.-Bakersfield Cal

John Wesley's Ascetic Life,

During the whole of his residence
in Georgia Wesley slept on bare
boards and fed on the plainest vege-
tartan food-as a rule on bread. He
drank neither wine nor beer. His
first act ON landing was to smash the
rum casks and to mpCse upon HIM
self and his comrades-all members
of the Hoy Cuba vow of abstin-
ence. No trace can be discovered
of a single day or hour given to rec
reation, All his reading, his cOnver-
cation, his writing, even in the gram
mars and catechisms he compiled,
were religious The nearest ap-
proach to recreattive reading that
have been able to discover in the dia-
ries is Milton and Plato. The diver
sions of earlier years-tennis, cards,
shooting and the lake-are conspicu-
GUS by their absence. Even when
shaving he metitated.-Harper's Mag.

Running a Town as a Business.

How the town of Staunton, Virgin
ia, appointed general manager to
take control of it's administration is
told by Robert G. Hiden in Harper's
Weekly. Unable to rid themselves
of the aldermanic system and adopt
the more modern plan," says this writ
er, "the people went as far as they
could. They abolished the old system
under which the city council appointed
committees to attend to the various
departments Of city government and
created the Office of general manager.
The general manager was given entire
charge and control Of all the executive
work of the city in it's various de-
partments and full control of the heads
Of departments and employees of the
CITY," "The whole system is a vast
improvement over the old plan,' said
John Crosby, the author Of the new
arrangement. I'VE believe that when it
has been thoroughly worked out it
will prove to be the ideal system.
About tn only people who object to
our plan Of government are the con-

Comets Must Be Guaranteed.

Whether or not the comet shed its
tail as lobster sheds its claws, the
fact of the disappointment remains.
Can a deluded pubic hereafter put
confidence in detail of canal construc-

keener because of the uniform accur-
acy of astronomical computation. But
what has it availed to stagger the i'm

Sheep Stomach Worms.

the American Sheep Breeder as fol-

Five years ago thirty percent Of my
lambs and ten percent of the breeding
flock died, and on examination found
hosts of stomach and intestinal worms,
besides some tape worms. Losses had
gradually increased in the years pre-
ceding. OF the lambs that did not die
none were fat, and many were worth
less. began to drench with gasolene

pounds of salt kept before the flock

tobacco dust and mixed one part to-

reach it. Results: | have not lost a

Farm Notes.

Eggs with thin shells are not the
best for Matching purposes.
In feeding your chicks grain feed
don't make the mistake of feeding
cracked corn alone. Use a variety.
Broilers must have full plump
breasts and soft tender flesh. If you
want to grow broilers use broiler
breed.
Nearly all poultry diseases are
caused by cold, wet, lack of cleanli-
ness or bad feeding. In other words,
neglect somewhere.
Don't hatch more chicks than you
have broodng accommodations for,
and under no circumstances over
crowd your brooders.

Cows and Cows.

Here is report of condition in H.
linois which applies in many other
states. We take it from Hoard's Dia-
ryman, and is as follows:
A friend in northern Illinois, who is
a creamery man, gives us the follow
ing facts which we would say were
very strange except for the fact that
they can be found in almost every
creamery.
He has sixty patrons, four of the
number have herds varying from 10 to
40 cows. These four men get an av-
erage return of s93 per COW. The
balance of the patrons, Sc. average
only $50 per COW. Here are some of
the differences between the four and
the Sc. The four have Holstein grade
cows that they bred themselves. OF
the balance, six have Holstein scrubs
that they bought and the rest have
grade Shorthorns.
Our friend says this state of affairs
has been going on for six years, and
yet the fifty-six farmers with poor
cows have not walked up to it yet. Now,
that is what constitutes the strange.
ness of this affair.
It is difficult to imagine fifty.six
farmers so dull and unresponsive to
plain. ordinary, business sense as to
have four men living in their midst
whose cows average S43 more each
than their own, and have such state
Of facts make no impression on them.
Such men are not real dairy farmers:
they are just fooling with the business
of keeping cows.
The following incident will serve to
illustrate what we mean by the term,
dairy farmer" At an auction held
in neighboring town the other day, a
we'll to do farmer with an abundance
of money would not bid on a most ex-
cellent registered Guernsey bull
though he wanted one. He finally
bought grade bull for $50.
If that man ever raises good cows It
will be an accident, for man with
such low standard of breeding in
his mind is sure to be lacking in the
other essential judgments of wise care
and development. He saw nothing in
the comparison between the two bulls
but the price.
