These cattle originated in Holland,
several hundred years ago, but were
almost exterminated during the great
Holland wars. The few that were
left fell into the possession of the
nobility and they have controlled
them ever since. They have kept the
breed pure and are not inclined to
part with them.
FIFTY years ago. Barnum, the show
man. induced the Holland nobility to
let him bring a few to this country
for show purposes. He showed them
under the tent for awhile and then
placed them on his farm along the
Hudson river, in Orange county, New
York.
Motley calls them 'the most won
derful cattle in the world" and Mr..
II. G. Hengerwell, head inspector Of
the Holstein herd book of North HoI-
land. declares They stand equal to
the best cattle in our country for
milking. breeding or fattening.

To Remove MlIdew.

For removing mildew from white
material: Take one teaspoonful OF
chloride of lime and one teaspoonful
of washing soda. Put this and the
widowed article into two quarts OF
cold water and let 1t boil for about
four hours. then skim off the scum,
add two pailfuls of cold water and let
it stand overnight, with the article
we'll covered. If this is not long
enough put the article back again and
soak it until the mildew entirely dis
appears; then rinse well and wash
in the usual way. Be sure to take
off the scum, for that is what burns
the material in so many Of the recipes
given.

Follow Crop Rotation.

Intensive farming is imperative
where one manages a small farm. On
a small farm every acre must produce
a maximum yield or the farm viii not
be profitable. The best way to insure
maximum yields is to practice crop ro-
tation, follow one crop with another
and keep the land busy producing. As
soon as a non-legume is harvested a
legume should be planted. and after
legumes, the non-legumes should fol
low closely. In this way the land is

be that when the price is high the

Excellent Type Of Dutch ReIted Cow.

Dutch belted cattle are now TO be
found In nearly every state of the
Union and many have been imported
to Canada, Mexico and Cuba.
In color they are black with a band
Of pure white around the body. They
also have white fore feet, white hind
feet and legs up to the gambrels and
a white switch, but I have never
known one to have white at all these
points.
They are very docile and intelli-
gent. They are large. hearty, with
good constitutions. The cows weigh
between 1000 and 1880 pounds and
some bulls have exceeded a ton in
weight.
They are wonderfully persistent
mixers. The famous COW, Queen,
dropped her first calf when % months
of age and was never dry afterwards
although she dropped a calf yearly
for IA years. She gave 20 pounds Of
milk day for seven consecutive days
on grass alone when fresh.

wheat in midwinter when the ground
Is honeycombed, with oats in the
spring or on a well prepared seed bed
in May.
In these latter cases the seed should
be lightly covered. 1t may also be
seeded during August, as is frequently
done with alfalfa. The seed usually
terminates very poorly, owing to the
presence Of a large number Of hard
seeds. For this reason from 20 to 80
pounds of seed should be sowu per
acre. Even more of the unhulled
seed can be used to advantage.
AS a soil ameliorant sweet clover
gives promise of great benefit to
farmers. When used in this connec-
ton on areas deficient in lime, this
element should be literally supplied.

the cracks filed (if a close grained
wood. it needs no f1ller), then rub a
thoroughly crude oil or one of the
special preparations that are manufac-
tured for the purpose.
Oil slowly hardens and darkens a
floor, SO that grease and stains do not
sink into the wood. Never wax or
varnish kitchen or bathroom floors.
The slipperiness of the wax may cause
a nasty fall and i'm any case 1t is a
waste of money, for the water that
has to be used in both kitchen and
bathroom will ruin the looks of either
wax or varnish. After the floors are
once in good condition 1t is not a
difficult matter to keep them so.

wide soil adaptation, its most luxuri-
ant growth is invariably associated
with lime. The nitrogen-fxing bac-
terra of alfalfa and sweet clover are
very similar; those of one plant
readily adapting themselves to the
other. This makes sweet clover plots
of great value as a source of soil in
oculation for alfalfa. Fields which
have been in sweet clover for a few
years can usually be seeded to alfalfa
easily and successfully. Sweet clover
itself needs inoculat;on and when it is
being introduced into new situations
the soil should be inoculated. Failure
to do this is a probable cause of many
failures.

SOLVE PROBLEM IN IRELAND
How Irish Farmers Accomplished
Plan for Better Conditions
Work on Practical Basis.

By s. A. LINDSEY. Chairman Texas
Farm Life Commission.)
Better farming, better business
and better living" is the slogan OF
the organized Irish farmers, and with
this slogan the organized Irish farm
ers are regaining the position the
Irish farm products once held in the
markets of England and Scotland.
There is nothing in all Europe
which so aptly illustrates loss of the
markets of England and Scotland by
the unorganized Irish farmers to the
organized Danish farmers. The les
son to be gained from the experience
Of the Irish farmers is the most val
liable Of any on this side of the At
kntc for our own farmers of Texas
to profit by.
With the awakening of the manu-
facturing and commercial sphere of
Germany, the farmers of that nation,
already organized, were able to act
promptly and effectively in their own
interests. When the manufacturing
interests began to demand tariff pro-
lection for their products, the farm
ers demanded that the right to sup
ply the food to the people of Germany
be secured to them. They were
strong enough to enforce their de-
nands upon the government and tar
IL duties were levied on wheat, -four,
butter, cheese, meats, spirits, etc. Up
TO this time Denmark had supplied
me German markets with meats,
eggs, butter, cheese, ETC., and Ireland
had supplied the markets of England
and Scotland with similar farm prod
ucts.
Be 1t remembered that both Eng
land and Scotland were then and for
. long time engaged in manufactur-
ing, and the farmers of these coun-
uies we're not organized in the matter
Of production, so that the products of
their farms came to market in such
poor condition that they did not ap-
peal to the educated tastes of the ur-
pan people under the new order of
nings. For here, as at home, as the
people of the cities grew wealthy,
