most Interesting study.- The war in
which co-operative butter factories
have extended is in strong contrast to
the complete apathy displayed by the
English dairy farmer in the same dl
rectlon. From a one-time prosperous
agricultural country the "Unhappy
Isle" had dwindled down In rural pop
ulatlon to such an extent that It seemed
M if they would ultimately be a mere
handful of people, barely enough to
tend cattle for John Bull to eat. With
the departure of so many of her beet
agriculturists to America and these
colonies the quality of her produce be
came woefully poor; in fact, things
were drifting Into each straits that it
was problematical what the end would
be. Some thoughtful Irishmen earn to
the rescue, however, and, binding them
selres together, preached co-operation
co-c-eretloo In every branch of the
farmer's business. , Success did not at
tend their efforts at first, and It was
not until fifty meetings bad been held
that an attempt was made by the
farmers to test the new doctrine. Ones
co-operation had proved Itself, how
ever. It rapidly spread; In fact so much
so that whereas in 1190 there was only
on co-operative factory, the number
had Increased to 138 at the beglnnlnf
: of last year. ,
The principal body at work Is tht
Irish Agricultural Organisation Socie
ty, which was formed In 1894, and. be
Ing Quite non-polltloal In Its objects.
men of all shades of opinion are on Its
cpamlttee. They nave sensibly laid
aside their differences in order to aid
their unfortunate countrymen. The
society employs about a dosen organ
Isers end experts, who are kept con
stantly at work lecturing, organising
and instructing. As the Hon. H.
Plunkett, writing on the subject In the
Mark Lane Express Almanac, says:
"They preach the doctrine of self-help
and show the farmers how they can
practically help themselves, and the
manly spirit of the people has wel
corned It In a wholesome reaction from
the other doctrine which lays all their
sins of impecunlosity upon the govern
ment"
Numerically 'the most important of
the societies are the co-operative
creameries. The establishment of these
has led to an enormous Improvement
In the quality of Irian butter, and the
suppliers have, as a result, obtained
fully 80 per cent more profit from their
cows than formerly. Then, of course,
the profits of the undertaking have
been also secured to the members, who
utilise their societies in many ways,
such, for Instance, as the wholesale
purchase of feeding stuffs, fertilisers
and Implements; also for the combined
sale of cattle, pigs, poultry and eggs
A few of them are establishing credit
societies and libraries as adjuncts.
Then a number of the creameries
formed a federation In 1893 to enable
them to more effectually control the
markets In their own Interests and to
establish a national brand of Irish
creamery butter,

A turkey hates to get Into her coop
at night unless It has been moved dur
lng the day, writes Miss B. J. Pine in
"Turkeys and How to Grow them." If
It is changed every day she soon re
gards It as a safe place to keep her
Mttle family over night. Should It rain
in the night, change It that It may be
clean for the day. Filth Is a deadly
foe to a young turkey In confinement
I have always kept my coops on the
ground. An experienced raiser who
has tried floors prefers the ground, as
It Is more natural and healthful. I
think It Is a good plan to keep a box
skunk trap set at night near the coops.
When the turkeys get large enough to
fly over a stone wall, they will wander
further away, and there Is danger from
hawks and foxes. 1 keep track of their
whereabouts as well as I ran. which

F. J. Berry says: "Notwithstanding
the great depression of 1893 to 1897,
while prices ruled so low that it drove
farmers and breeders nearly out of
the business, within the last year great
changes have come and breeding has
commenced in earnest, every one be
ginning to feel and realize the neces
sity of breeding and raising the best
quality of horses for the market, Car.
rlage and coach horses are as high as
they ever were; also the best grades of
heavy draft sell for as much money
as they did in high-priced times, with
a strong demand and good prices for
biocky, smooth horses from 1,100 up
While these great changes have been
going on di ring the last ten years,
the horse-breeding industry has been
entirely revolutionized. Since 1893 the
great expert demand has been Intro
duced for the best classes and quality
of American horses, and this demand
which has been the life of our trade
and has been a great outlet for our
horse mark, s, has at the same time
fixed a specific type and defined the
different classes that are In demand
for export horses, and as the Ameri
can demand has so changed through
the evolutions of the last ten years, or
since the early 90's, the same classes
that are in demand for export are the
only kinds that are profitable to raiss
xor American as well as export mar
kets. Thus the great evolut on of the
last ten years has changed the whole
norse-breedlng problem, and although
costly object leeson to farmers and
breeders of horses, it has sot been
altogether without Its benefits It has
tsugbt us a lesson. While in former
times breeding was done nromlscu
ously, , without proper consideration or
forethought of the kinds of horses the
market demanded, and In this way all
linos of horses were produced, from
the best down to the most worthless,
me smau and ordinary horses com
prised the larger per cent of the num
bers produced. The American horse
preeoers have bad a severe lesson. It
has taught them that every horse
should be, bred for a certain purpose
and of a certain type and of a speclflo
ciass, with an the size, shape and
quality that the market demands. The
small horse is a thing of the past It
has proven a failure and an unsatis
factory Investment The grade has
been raised every year during the last
few years, and each successive year
requires a larger horse and one of bet'
ter quality to meet the demands of the
market, and he must be a horse of his
own class and be an up-to-date market
norse.
The Treatment of Boas la England.
in ungiana tne brood sows are
usually given plenty of run on grass In
good weather; they have very little to
be called severe, so that practically the
nrooa sows run out most of the time,
This exercise and freedom give them
a very healthy, thrifty appearance, and
as a rule you find them right up on
tneir toes, strong on their legs and
regular breeders of two litters per
year, says a contributor to Swineherd.
The stock boars there are as a rule
kept in thinner condition than they
are in this country, and thinner than
their brood sows. Usually after a boar
nas been shown one season or seldom
more than two seasons he is reduced
down thin and turned In with sows
especially selected as being suitable to
breed to him. After those sows are
bred he Is put In a pen (or what they
call a sty), and kept on a low ration,
to at to not increase his flesh.' They
teem to depend more on "active con
dition" in their boars than they do in
"breeding boxes" (as we do here with
our heavy boars) hence the necessity
of keeping the boar as thin as possible,
so he may not be encumbered with
flesh in his duties at the head of the
breeding herd. And while speaking of
this way of using their herd boars,
we would also say we admire one fea
ture of tbelr breeding there, and that
when they find a sire that has
proved a good one and a producer of
winners, tbey keep him, instead of
changing sires every year, at to many
do in thlt country.

From Farmers' Review: A large
proportion of the trees fiat are lost
in resetting die because they have been
injured when they were taken up. Iu
digging up the trees the surface soil
should be removed to the root system,
then a trench dug around the tree out
Bide the mass of roots; then by cutting
under the roots with a sharp spade
on eaoh side, the tree may be loosened
from the soil with a good supply of
young, growing roo. If te tree
large, the treach mutt be made around
the roots to the depth of .the lowest.
and the roots gradually loosened and
freed from the soil. No matter bow
carefully a tree Is dag, ma -j of the
young feeding roots will be Injured
or destroyed. - Thus op'y a small
amount of sap can be surp'led to the
branches and buds, which trvtrtheless
continue to evaporate a large amrvat
of water; thus the tree often starts
very slowly, and sometimes falls en
tirely. By removing the branches and
buds in proportion to the Injury of the
roots a batanee is maintained. All In
jured roots should be cut off clean
with a knife, and the wounds of large
roots should be painted over with some
waterproof covering. When trees are
planted the roots should have a line,
mellow, bed of soil, which should be
pressed firmly in contact with every
liber, leaving no air space around them,
and all should be spread out la nat
ural position. The soil should be
pressed very firmly around all the
roots, so that the new roots will be
encouraged to make a rapid growth
It the soil In which the tree Is planted
is the sams as. the one from which it
is taken, the tree should be set the
same depth as It was before it was re
moved. If the soil It heavier, the tree
thould be shallower; if lighter, it
should be placed deeper. The surface
of the soli which it over the roots
should be line and light, because the
capllarlty is then broken up and the
moisture cannot escape.
The Lost Crop.
From Farmers' Review: The los
ing of this year's crop may not be an
unmitigated calamity to tbe fruit
grower. If be glvet hit orcnardt tne
right kind of treatment, In a year
from now lie will tee that tbey will be
in better condition for further bearing
than they would have been had they
been allowed to go on and bear tbelr
usual heavy crop. But this will large
ly depend upon how the orchard It
managed, and there are a number of
things that must be attended to. '
First all the dead wood mutt be cut
away, and tome that Is not dead, in
order that tbe remaining parts of the
tree may be able to make a more vig
orous start in tbe spring.
Second, all the pruned-off wood.
whether In the orchard or small fruit
plantation, should be burned to de
stroy any Insect or disease that may
infect It .
Third, the spraying mutt not be
abandoned became the crop hat fail
ed. Begin in time and tpray Jutt as
faithfully at though expecting a big
crop of fruit Spraying Is likely to be
very effective this year, If the direc
tions on pruning and burning are car
ried out, because the parts of the tree
carrying the diseases and insects have
been largely destroyed. There will be,
consequently, fewer enemiea left to
combat
Fourth, the cultivation should be
thorough and good. This Is necessary In
order that the tree may have sufficient
food supply for the vigorous growth
which It should make.
These attentions are all necessary
to assist tbe tree In Its recuperation.
Kedsle's Ppraylng Mixture. The
spraying mixture formula by Profes
sor Kedsle of the Michigan agricul
tural college is as follows: Boll two
pounds of white arsenic and four
pounds of salsoda for fifteen minutes
In two gallons of ws'er. Put Into a
Jug and label "poison." and lock It up.
When you wish to spray slake two
pounds of lime and stir It Into forty
gallons of water, adding a pint of the
mixture from the Jug. The mixture U
the Jng will roet 43 een , and this Is
enough for too gallons or SO barrels of
apray. These 20 barrel will require
40 pounds of time, whlci. will cost to
rents more, making the total coal IS
