DAIRY NOTES.

Manure is a part of the dairy profits.
Foul and unwholesome feeds taint
the milk and cream.
Never give cold milk to a calf un-
der two months of age.
Feed that produces the largest flow
of milk is the cheapest in the end
Barley or corn or hay will be ap-
preciated by the COWS now in pas
ture
1t is not always the cheapest or
lowest priced COW that gives US the
cheapest milk.
See that the cows have some sort
of good shade protection for the hot,
scorching days.
The management of the calf during
the first year has much to do with it's
future usefulness.
The money paid out for purchased
feeds will come back soon in the sales
of butter and pigs.
Weeds, such as wild onions, in the
pasture, will cause the milk to be un-
fit for human consumption
The milk from each COW should be
tested about once a month during
the whole period of lactation
The silo and the cream separator
are two of the dairyman's greatest
mediums in making maximum profits
from the herd.
The best and cheapest way to come
into possession of good, pure-bred
dairy bull is to buy bull calf of
some dairy that keeps nothing but the
best pure-bred cows.
Whether the cows be grades or
pure breds, it is of the highest i'm
portance in building up a dairy herd
to secure a pure-bred sire of out
standing dairy merit.

LATE IRRIGATION IN ORCHARD
Care Must Be Exercised That Trees
Go Into Winter Quarters With
Plenty of Water.

The general practice of discontin-
uing the watering of the orchard in
midsummer for the purpose of allow
Ing the trees to mature wood growth
and color the fruit, generally calls
for late fall irrigation. This may
be applied any time after the middle
OF October if the trees have ripened
the young wood growth; otherwise
the watering had better be delayed
until the middle of November, says
the Denver Field and Farm. In a
bearing orchard the water is applied
after the last fruit is picked. In our
dry climate care must be exercised
to see that the orchard goes into
winter with plenty of moisture in the
soil. Evaporation from the twigs
continues even through the dormant
period and unless the roots have ac-
cess to more moisture the tops Of the
trees may freeze dry during severe
winters.
The amount of water to be used
for this irrigation will depend much
upon the character of the soil. No
doubt many orchards on heavy soils
will not require the fall watering.
Still some of the heavy soils are de-
ceiving and an examination will show
a very dry sub-soil A good fall wa
tering is one of the most satisfactory
means of irrigating such soil. Evap-
grafton from the surface is slow and
during the winter the water gradual
ly sinks to the dry subsoil The soil
should be examined and supplied with
enough moisture to make it cling to-
gether when pressed in the hand, and
still crumble when broken up.
AS soon as most of the leaves have
fallen, the orchard should be plowed
or cultivated to catch these leaves for
they will help to improve the soil II
plowed under before the late winds
sweep them into the fence corners,
Some growers still question the wis
dom of plowing the orchard, but many
who have tried it pronounce it not a
success but necessary step in the
proper cultivation of a fruit tract in
this dry climate While many grow
ers fear that the destruction of roots
in blowing will injure the trees this
is not necessarily true. AS matter
OF TACT, a little root pruning by ploW-
ing stimulates root growth and keeps
the roots down where they belong.
Some of our heavy soils really
must be plowed and the fall of the
year is an excellent time to do the
work. The plow should run deep
enough to break up the hard under
layer formed by continual shallow
cultivation during the growing sea-
son. A light float or harrow should
follow the plow to put the surface in
good condition. If left too open the
tendency is to dry out. A good
smooth and well-broken surface tends
to hold the moisture. Some folks
give one surface cultivation about
mid-winter and for this work disc
or cultivator is employed. Orchard
soils properly cultivated before go
ing into winter are much more cas-
lily titled the following summer.

Keeping Poultry Runs Fresh.

There is more or less dry weather
during the summer, and the runs not
infrequently become baked, and in
heavy soils more or less filthy. The
man who has the best interests of his
flock at heart will once a week use
hand plow in such yards and stir up
the soil as to make it loose and
fresh
If he does this at night, the next
morning the fowls will get at work,
scratching, hunting worms and stir
ring things generally. 1t is wonderful
how much they find in this turned
up soil that furnishes them both
amusement and food

Blond Hamlet Of Fechter

ed Fechter to come to this country"
continued Mr.. Stuart. "Fechter told
me that shortly after Dickens had re-
turned to England in 1867 from his
speaking tour here, he urged upon
Fechter that by all means he should
go to the United States and portray
Hamlet as he had portrayed it with
such success for six years in London.
Dickens assured Fechter that he
would surely make a great fortune in
America, and Fechter, catching the
enthusiasm Of his friend. finally sailed
for this country In 1870 Probably
you remember the great excitement
occasioned by the appearance of Fech-
ter as the blond Hamlet in a New
York theater at the same time Edwin
Booth was playing the conventional
Hamlet in another metropolitan thea
ter. All grades Of theater-goers quar-
relied about the two conceptions Of the
part, some maintaining that Fechter
was right, and some that Booth had
made no mistake. but all uniting in
declaring that each man had Justly
gained great triumph.
Barring brief trip to England.
Fechter continued on the American
stage until 1876, when he retired per.
manently to q farm near Philadelphia
1t has generally been stated that his
retirement was due to the fact that he
was of such violent temper that no
manager could get along with him
But I know better. A year or two

Cooper and Ocean Telegraph

"'Can you suggest anything?' Mr..
Field asked.
Not at present. Mr.. Cooper oe-
piled, but l will make a study of the
matter and see what can do
$50 Peter Cooper worked over the
problem of how an ocean cable should
be successfully laid He believed that
there was a principle of mechanics,
which, if he could discover it or the
application of st, could be successfully
adopted, so that there would be no
difficulty in laying a cable from Ire
land to Newfoundland, upon the bed
Of the Atlantic, no matter how deep.
Mr.. Cooper spent several months
upon this problem. At last he said
to Mr.. Field that he believed he was
on the right track. 1t had occurred
to him that, if he could build an ap-
paratus which would pay out the cable
little faster than the steamship was
going ahead, then all difficulty would
be overcome. For Peter Cooper to
think was Immediately to act In a
little while he had built a machine,
by means Of which a cable could be
uncoiled and paid out from the deck
of steamship at a rate of speed a
little more rapid than that at which
the steamship was going.
THE first test showed that Mr.. Coop
er had perfected a machine which
made it possible to lay the ocean ca
BILE, and with this machine the first
Atlantic cable between Newfoundland
and the coast of Ireland was laid"
