E. Wind.
From western New York to north
ern Iowa is a far cry, and the pro
pounder of the above questions Is lo
cated at the third point of this hypo
thetical geographical triangle which
his queries has outlined to the writer's
view. And replies can only be approx
imate and not in any sense specific, for
the reason that he ha3 had practical
experience in Iowa alone. Now, as to
whether it will pay for the New York
., ---
farmer to produce milk and sell it at
ten cents per gallon will depend morej
upon the farmer and his methods than
on the money value of the land where
his operations are conducted. He has
the land, and it must he utilized, and
if he cultivates it in a husiness-like
manner it may be assumed that milk
can be produced and sold at ten cents
per gallon. In order to do this there
must be strict economy and close
watchfulness over all the details con
nected with the work. The food re
quired should be grown, so far as pos
sible, on the farm. Intensive, and not
extensive, farming, us we see followed
in many places, must be followed. In
the past, when Iowa lands had a value
of, say, twenty dollars per acre, it
was good policy to make land take the
place of labor gathering crops from
extended areas which by more careful
cultivation could be secured from
much less land. But with land values
at about fifty dollars per acre, as it
now is, a different system ought to
prevail. Yet it is a matter of regret
that improved cultivation of the soil
has not kept pace with the increase in
price of land. And In making his first
trip eastward a few years ago the writ
er was astonished to see that in west
ern New York it was not uncommon
to see the manure from cow stables
thrown out of windows and left ex
posed to sun, wind and rain. The low
priced surplus corn, oats, mill by
products, etc., go eastward to feed live
stock in those regions, and unless the
excrement from animals consuming
the same is saved and applied to the
land, not only will the principal profit
expected from its purchase be lost,
but the land from which the main sup
ply of food is taken for ube of such an
imals will be steadily impoverished
and depleted. And this is as true of
the rich lauds of the Mississippi val
ley as of Genesee or Mohawk valleys
of New York state. An acre of good
land, either in New York, Iowa, or
Missouri, planted to corn, in such a
manner as to get the best results, will
produce all the food of this class as
an average cow requires in a year's
time. And in New York peas can be
successfully raised to sun- ly the nitro
genous food needed to balance corn as
a ration for cows giving :ni!lc. The
best cows for milk production are such
as will give the largest yield of stan
dard milk or milk of richness required
by law. And cows of this class are
found in nearly all breads. They are
also found in astonishing numbers in
that much despised race characterized
as common, or scrub eows. From tht
milk sellers' standpoint choice may be
had air.ons cows having Shorthorn,
lioistt-in, or Ucd Poll blood in their
makeup. A cow that will give 5,0-jO
pounds of miik during the year may
be called a good cow. Yet there are
those that yield considerably more
than this quantity, ami shcujd be
prized accordingly.

Of course iu raising 10.GOO to 15,000
duclis it is important that one should
have the most suitah!e Steele, writes
Samuel Cuslmian in Northwestern Ag
riculturist. A cut of one or two cents
per r-O'inil from the highest market
rates wiil malic a great difference in
the receipts. The quality must he the
hest. The quicker they grow the fchort
cr the time they must he kept. The
earlier they are put on the market the
higher the price they Lring. There is
more profit in one early hird sold at 33
cents per pound than in several late
ones at 13 to 10 cents. Pure white
feathers bring the most. James Ran
kin has tried all breeds of ducks and
finds all have their outs. Aylesbury
ducks have white feathers, but they
and their cresses are longer in matur
ing and harder to pick. Pekins, he
found, matured earlier by ten days
or a fortnight. Rouens are not only
longer in maturing, but are tender and
delicate. Cayugas are fine, plump birds
and lay as well, eggs hatch as well,
and ducklings mature as early as the
rekins, but they are smaller, have
black plumage, and the dark pin
feathers hurt their appearance.
Crosses between the two were fine and
plump, took on fat as readily and ma
tured as early as the Pekins, but they
came mottled in plumage, had dark
skin in patches and dark pin feathers,
so brought less. Their feathers also
sell for much less. A cross between
Cayugus and Rouens gave all the good
qualities of the former and are larger
than the latter and make a better table
bird, but do not equal Pekins. Evi
dently the right breed to cross with
Pekins does not exist or has not been
found; that is, with the present re
quirements of the market.
Cattle In Mexico.
The French minister of agriculture
has lately published in the Journal Of
ficial a short report on cattle breed
ing in Mexico, an industry which is
still in its early days, but promises to
give magnificent results, says Mark
Lane Express. Unfortunately the wa
ter supply is deficient, and land which
otherwise would be splendid for cattle-feeding,
cannot be used. In spite
of the heavy rains which fall during
May, thousands of cattle die of thirst
every year. In order to make these
lands suitable for breeding cattle, it
will be necessary to construct reser
voirs, which will serve to provide wa
ter for the animals, and also to irrigate
the land. This work the breeders de
sire to catry out with the assistance of
the government, and when it is real
ized this industry will be of great
value. Up to the present, however, the
loss of cattle every year from want
of water causes all benefits to disap
pear, in these lands, whjcb are 50
Jlf
well adapted for breeding purpose,
two varieties of fodder grow plenti
fully, namely, "privilego" and "za
cate de Parra"; both are excellent and
abundant The native race of cattle
are worth at three years old from 3
to 4 (nominal), and after beiug put
on better feed for eight to eleven
months, they are ready for the butch
er, weighing from 700 to 809 pounds.
The breeders of Chihuahua, Tamauli
pas, and Cohahinla carry on nn active
trade with the United States, where
the cattle arc fattened for the markets
of St. Louis and Chicago. It was
thought at one time that it would be
a remunerative speculation to export
the cattle to Europe, either alive or in
the frozen meat ships, but the first
trials were unsuccessful, as the Mexi
can cattle are too small in size, and
their meat 1b not good enough for the
European consumer. As regards dairy
productions, the Mexican cattle are not
of great value, as they only give a
maximum of five quarts per day.
Breeder nnd others to whom the sale
of milk is an Important source of rev
enue, and whose farms are close to
towns, have introduced Dutch cattle
to improve tho milking properties of
the Mexican breed. A large number
of the coffee and sugar cane planters
are now also cattle breeding, and from
inquiries made it has been ascertained
that there are large tracts of land
which are not suitable for coffee or
sugar cane planting, but which are ex
cellent pasture lands. As the banana
flourishes, the dairy cows are fed up
on green banana leaves". The leaves
of the sugar cane are also very tasty
for cattle. Combined with the growth

t make consi(eral)le increaso in the
value and revenue of the farms, it is
regarded as one of the elements of the
future agricultural prosperity of Mex
ico. Controlling (tin Sex.
Many theories have been advocated
as to how male or female offspring may
be produced; and yet, after all, there is
no theory in the matter, but a very
simple law of nature, says a writer in
Dakota Farmer. Give a bull and cow of
like ages and strength and constitu
tion, and the produce of these may he
of either sex. But let the bull be old
or weak or out of condition, and the
calf will, almost without exception, be
male, and this is merely the law of na
ture trying to reproduce itself, because,
of the two animals, the bull shows evi
dence of being the one most likely to
die first, and, therefore, the male calf
would be the one required to carry on
the breed. In short, the offspring pro
duced is of the same sex, as a rule, as
the weaker of the two parents. This, 1
know, is quite contrary to the most
general theory; hut I have taken the
trouble to study and prove it during
the past six and tlrrty years, and I
have found that it is invariably the
case, not only as regards cattle, but
also in the case of sheep, horses, and
even human beings. When our colonies
'were first settled and quantity rather
than stock was the one thing desired,
young rams were put to old, broken
mouth ewes, with the result that ewe
Iambs were produced in numbers as
eighty is to twenty. But when the
and heavily fleeced wethers were want
ed, old rams were put to two-year-old
ewes, and the result was that about
three parts of the lambs were rams. I
know that what I have written will be
contradicted by many, but I have prov
ed it correct during thirty-six years of
a farming life, at home and abroad.
Feed Ins for Kjrcs
It is difficult to give a general for
mula that will suit all conditions, still
we believe in the morning mash win
ter and summer, says Country Gentle
man. It is composed of one-half
ground corn and oats, one-fourth bran,
and one-fourth boiled vegetables or
soaked beef scraps, or cut clover hay
steamed; mixed with boiling water at
night, covered up and left to steam,
and fed warm in winter. In summer,
cold water is better. Whether to feed
.his mash every day or every other day
alternating with wheat, or wheat and
cracked corn mixed in winter) can be
decided by experiment. Meat in some
form, cither raw or cooked, should be
fed two or three times a week, and
green food every day, winter and sum
mer, if fowls are confined in yards.
iitcn cut bone is an excellent feed
either separately or mixed with the
mash. Our manner of feeding for eggs
.s to give the mash every other morn
ing in summer and every morning in
late fall and winter. Care should be
taken, however, not to give a full meal,
but sufficient to satisfy hunger, and
thus compel the hens to hunt around
for whatever they may find in the
wards or litter of the crops. We feed
nothing at midday but green food, such
as cabbage, and at night, wheat, oats
and cracked corn, separately or mixed
together. The heavy breeds being gen
erally less active than the light, need
to be carefully fed and kept busy
scratching. Avoid over-feeding if you
wish an abundance of eggs.
Errs Per Year.
We hear a great many stories about
the hens that laid 200 eggs each per
year. We would like to see a large
flock of say a hundred hens that would
lay even 125 eggs per year each. We
know people that have kept a steady
account for years of their fowls, and
were never able to get much above
the 100-egg mark. In fact, if one could
be assured that his hens would lay 100
eggs each in a year he would have a
safe business in which to invest. We
are speaking of the common run of
farm flocks. The flocks in mind were
composed of Plymouth Rocks and
Brown Leghorns, most of them of
doubtful -age.
Pure Water Essential. As the coun
try becomes older, the supply of sur
face water becomes more contaminated
and unhealthy and greater care should
be taken to supply pure water for the
stock with deep wells and wind mills.
Pure, clean water is a necessity for
the condition of all kinds of stock.
Water is directly absorbed into the
blood with whatever impurity may be
contained in it, says an exchange. It is
to some extent strained or filtered of
what it may have of solid matter not
dissolved in it, but whatever is held in
solution, and some of what it may have
that is not dissolved to some extent,
goes into the blood with it. Thus im
pure water poisons the very fount of
life and carries into an animal what
may be the most injurious to the
health of it. Ex.
Finishing Turkeys. Feed the tur
keys well, but do not confine them. Tur
keys will lose flesh if confined loncer
than ten days, as they fret and pine
for their liberty. The proper plan i
to keep them growing as much as pos
sible, by feeding meat twice a week,
with a mess of wheat morning and
night. Just before selling, they may be
cooped up for a week or ten days, and
fed four times a day on a variety of
all they will eat; making corn and corn
meal the principal food. It always pays
to fatten them before selling. Ex.
In feeding grain in the runs, broad
cast it.
Care of Horsa
A great deal is expected of horses
and very little attention Is devoted to
their care by some farmers, says Iowa
Homestead. There is quite a difference
in the manner of feeding, but all agree
that corn, oats and good hay are best
to feed horses. One writer goes to the
barn in the morning and first puts in
any waste hay which has been thrown
over, and has the horses eat that be
fore he gives them grain. This writer
finds that twenty-five to thirty pounds
of solid food are necessary for a 1,009
pound horse. Colts and horses not ac
customed to work are often fed grain
whenever the work horses are fed,
which is not considered economical or
the best plan. They should be fed well
consistent to growth rather than fat.
One man has brood mares C years old
that know nothing about grain. Most
of the advices received agree that a
good pasture is necessary for horses In
summer, and iu winter they need exer
cise, which may be in pasture or stalk
fields. Whatever feed Is employed
should be given with regularity, as
well as water. One writer says horses
are kept too fat, except for selling,
while others agree that many horses
are too poor. Dusty hay should not be
given horses, and it Is also stated that
it should not be thrown down in front
of them. They should be well bedded
and have perfect knowledge of the cur
rycomb. One writer runs his oats for
horses through tho fan. Over-checks
are condemned. Some feed and water
while warm, and others condemn this
practice. Sores of all kinds should be
guarded against, and little excuse can
be given for permitting sores to come
on horses that work regularly. A great
deal of injury is done to work teams by
getting in too much of a hurry in the
spring of the year. Idle horses arc bet
ter off In the pasture than in the barn.
One writer says horses and cows
should not be kept in the same barn.
He knows this is wrong, for he has
found it out from practice. Another
has a separate pasture near the barn
for his horses, so they can be turned
from the barn to the pasture and can
get under shelter when it rains. All
farmers should have a better knowl
edge of the stomach of the horse. Its
size is over-estimated on account of the
comparison liable to be made between
it and that of the cow. Farmers arc bet
ter acquainted with the stomach of the
cow than with that of the horse. It is
the universal opinion that horses on
the farm are better off by reason of no
shoes than to be kept well shod. Only
horses that are used on the roads
should be kept shod. One writer takes
the position that they need no shoes at
any time. There is some difference of
opinion about feeding hay. Some be
lieve horses should have all the hay
they will eat and others go to the
other extreme and feed but once a day,
and that at noon.
Kasy Moulting.
By this time most of the hens are
done moulting, though we have known
some to carry that part of their opera
tions well along into the winter. Some
flocks seem to moult easily and others
hard. For instance, I knew a flock
last year that did not seem to moult
at all. But of course they did moult,
only it was so easily and gradually
done that the poultry did not seem to
be affected. It was due to a correct
course of feeding. The Hock did not
entirely stop laying at any time, and
there was not a day when some eggs
were not received. The food of that
flock consisted in the morning of a
scalded mash of bran and mixed mill
feed, and the rest of the day they had
oats. Now and then they got a little
corn at night, especially if the weather
was cold. Their feathers were dropped
very gradually and the new feathers
came in very fast. By the first of No
vember they all seemed fully coated
for the cold of the winter.
Separator Advantages. The greater
yield of butter from a given quan
tity of milk from the use of a
separator represents only one of
its advantages. On the farm where
mixed husbandry is followed and the
calves are mostly raised, the superior
ity of the separator skim milk for this
purpose is a very important item. This
advantage, or superiority, is only real
ized, however, when the hand separator
is used at home, and the milk fed while
still warm from the cow. Aside from
the saving in labor when the milk goes
direct from the separator to the calves,
its superiority for the purpose is only
appreciated after it is tried. Of course,
separator skim milk is no richer, not
so rich, in fact, as that resulting from
gravity methods in raising the cream;
but it is always fresh and sweet, it
needs no warming.and it has the flavor
of new full milk. Where the calves
are mostly raised, the separator woulj
pay if it secured no more butter.
Farmers Home.
Hogs in Spite of Cholera. It Is gen
erally conceded that the farmer can
grow hogs at a profit in the long run
and yet sustain the usual losses by
cholera. As we view the matter the
question is never a pertinent one
whether we can afford to quit growing
hogs on the farm. The sole problem
confronting him, and it is a most vital
one, is how to grow hogs with the
least chance of loss by disease. We
believe the matter rests largely with
proper methods of feeding, together
with a proper regard for clealiness and
an intelligent and persistent effort in
the direction of fighting shy of cholera.
In the future cholera is to be regarded
as a constant factor in the matter of
pork production. It is the business of
the pork maker to recognize this fact
and meet it as best he can. The hog
raiser from this time on who leaves
everything to chance will be lucky in
deed if he makes ends meet in the hog
yards through a series of years of ex
perience. Nebraska Farmer.
Beef and Butter. Prof. T. L. Hack
er of the Minnesota experiment sta
tion has been testing the comparative
cost of making beef and butter. So he
fed four steers along with his herd of
cows, giving them, however, a ration
for making beef, while to the cows was
given the feed appropriate for milk
and butter production. Afitr six
weeks' feeding he figured the cost of
the butter at three cents v- pound,
while the beef was 3 1-10 cents per
pound, as nearly as he could estimate
it from live weight. It is fairly to
be presumed that in the cost of but
ter the labor required to make it was
not estimated. It is probable also that
the cows experimented on were in full
flow of milk, and therefore csuld, for
a short time, produce butter at very
low rates. But the animal has to be
kept twelve months with much less
product of milk, in order to enable it
to make this low record. Ex.

A smart Chicago operator advertised
that lie had discovered a process by
which old and rancid butter could be
mnrin river n fnrwl nc nnir hn tThfit Tho
could only handle largo quantities.
Some dealers sent him samples to try
and in return received perfectly-fresh
creamery butter. Then they sent
agents all over the state, bought heav
ily and sent the stuff to him. To their
consternation he declined to operato
on it, but offered to buy it at a small
figure, much less than they had paid
for it, and as, in the open market it
would be graded as axle grease, they
were obliged to let him have it.
DIPHTHERIA IN WISCONSIN.
Fifty-Three Deaths In One Small
Town In Less Than Four TVeeka.
A preventive and cure for diphtheria,
croup, tonsilitis, quinsy and all
throat troubles recently placed up
on the market has achieved such
marvelous success as to greatly
stir up the medical fraternity. Its
power over diphtheria seems almost
miraculous, as it stops its spread as
if by magic.
Grantsburg, Wisconsin, population
less than four hundred, was visited by
a terrible epidemic of diphtheria, dur
ing which fifty-three of its inhabitants
died in less than four weeks. After
much urging by the friends of Muco
Solvent, the authorities decided to use
it, and thereupon telegraphed for a
large supply, which arrived the next
day at 4 o'clock, and by 6 o'clock every
man, woman and child in Grantsburg
were taking Muco-Solvent, with the re
sult that not another death oc
curred, whereas, up to the very
hour its use was commenced, not
a day, for two weeks, had passed
without from one to five deaths. Many
other epidemics have been quickly
stamped out by Muco-Solvcnt, not
ably at Madison, Polar, Winneconne
and Neenah, Wisconsin.
We earnestly advise every mother to
procure Muco-Solvent and keep it la
the house ready for prompt use for
every ill, however slight, especially If
accompanied with sore throat, ccugh
or cold, and thus. In many Instances,
prevent diphtheria or some other se
rious ailment the presence of which is
not even suspected. Pleasant to
take. It can be procured by
sending the price $1.00 per bot
tle) to the Muco-Solvent Company,-
35G Dearborn street, Chicago, upon
receipt of which they will send it,
charges prepaid.
They will upon application, send free
a book of forty pages entitled "Chat3
with Mothers," which every mother
should read. They desire agents
and the right person (woman preferred)
can secure exclusive agency in their
town. Chicago Opinion.

strongly urging Miss Jane Adams of

of the matter Miss Addams says: "I do
not see the advantage to my work if
I were ordained. I help pulpits on
Sunday, and this does not interfere
with my work here. I have spoken at
Jenkln Lloyd Jones church, I have
helped Dr. Thomas and others. I can
do this any Sunday and am glad to
be able to help. But I am not certain
about the advantage to be gained if I
were ordained a preacher."
