Wo nlso tried if cows were profitable , nnd nro fully satisfied that Incy ate. In 1883 wo took four cows and ono two-vcnr-old heifer , and from February J till August 30 made for market Forty pounds per week. After Apfil 15 our cows hnd nogrnin , but were pastured on n bottom pasture o'n wild grass. Our account closed on April 30. We raised five calves nnd furnished a. family of eight during the last live months of this time. time.Vo \Vo now have two cows , ono fourteen years old , common stock , and one half- blood Jcrfcoy , that aio running on n timothy pasture and making ton pounds per week. I would like to hcnv from someone else on this question. W. J. UAINI * . _ Competition With Mttlo Margin. Farmers' Review : The dairymen of the northwest nre better educated In their business than most of the dairy men of-tho older states. They are bet ter organized nnd litive pushed experi ment to the limit ol succefr1' . The out- giowth of all this energy , intelligence , co-operation and trial is that they bent us in at lenst four points , towit : Amount of product , character of product , cheap ness in production , and in getting it to market. This is n grand showing ngninst us and it will ilrivo us to the wall unless wo ( illicitly rally and broaden out in our efforts. The dairymen for hundreds of miles west of the iVlibsife- sippi can hcnd their butter in refrig erator cars in the best of order to our fcenboard markets for a less price per pound than can the dairymen in the old states. They have learned the art of feeding for a special purpose , and they know how to make butter jtibt suited to the present demands of the markets. They get the most out of their cows , nnd they uro skilled in the art of butter- mnking. The dairy is , or can bo tnado , the best business of the eastern farmer. Conceit will not make good butter ; nor docs cream rise or butter come in old ruts. The farin-houso cellar is not the natural kingdom for cream or butter. The best way is the only way for \is to hold our own. The sooner we lind this out nnd do it the better. Wntcrlnc Horsca. American Agriculturist : The water given a horse should bo pure. Do not htivo the well iu the barnyard , for the wash will soak into it and pollute the water. If a running brook of clean water bo convenient lead the hordes to drink from it. A good cistern can bo made of a largo hogshead sunk half way into the ground and the water from the barn roofs led into it will bo preferable for the horse than very cold well water. A horse needs about two pails of water a day , and if given half a pnilful before meals , four times a day , it will bo suf ficient , unless when nt hard work in sultry weather. Do not give warm water at any time of the year , but the chill may bo taken olT in winter , s-o that it will not bo icy. Do not witter or feed directly after coining in very warm. and do not work hard immediately after eating heartily. Horse Points of 1'racticnl Value. Practical Farmer : As regards the neck , its peculiarities mainly minister to the fancy , and , while the points touched upon not necessarily keys totho breeding of the animal , the neck , to a considerable degree , is. While the neck may bo saiil to bo merely a llexiblo member , placed between the shoulders and the head for the purpose of carry ing the latter and enabling the horse to see the way clearly to the right and loft , and reach the ground or the branches overhead for food , that part to which it attaches at its base , the shoulder , cuts a very important figure in the horse's value and durability , no matter what character of service ho is assigned to. As is well known to most persons , the more upright snouldor is preferred for draft , because the force is required to bo expended in a for ward , horizontal direction , while the slanting throws the force of the exer tion upon the lower part of the shoulder point. Ilcnco , if a horse is selected with a slanting shoulder , and put to drawing loads , it will bo found that tno horizontal effort will throw the lower portion of the collar upward against the lower portion of the neck , pressing upon the windpipe , creating distress in breathing. But for road work , speed ing or for the saddle , no matter how worthy the animal may bo in other re spects , the upright shoulder prevents ellicient service , and it matters not how attractive the horse may bo other ways , ho cannot put himself into n form that is prevented by his big makeup , nor show a swinging gait and good reach , likening his foreleg to a pendulum with this restricted in its movements monts , because not swinging freely forward and backward. at its upper attachments. In selecting a horse for hard driving , or for use under thobnddlo , it should bo berne in mind that the greater the angle represented by the position of the scapula , or shoulder blade , giving ob liquity to the shoulder , the loss is the concussion put upon the shoulder under violent exertion , because the loss up right the shoulder is , and the less the force is applied directly in the line of bone and muscle , the loss spring nnd elasticity there nro in that direction. After passing upon the shoulder of the horse , it is well to look between the forelegs , at their attachment with the shoulder. In so cting n horse for any purpose other than draft , n very wide breast should bo avoided , for in most cases n horse with this formation will paddle when ho trots n de fect whifh should consign him to slow draft. For active tsorvico the breast should not bo o\er medium width , and the forelegs should bo reasonably close togethor. Between the forelegs nnd clobo up to the body the space should bo so fillcu with muscle as to form n pointed arch rather thnn to show a wide gpnco , ns the case of the draft horse. An arm wide nt its junction with the shoulder , rendered so by full development of muscles on the roar and inferior portion of the urin , should always bo sought , for the opposite formation is always attended - tended by want of precision , povvo'r und activity in the movements of the fore- logs. _ Tito Hired Mnn. This is the month when the "hired mun" who is engaged to work on n farm for the season reports for duty , says the Now Yotk Commercial Advertiser , pro vided , of course , that there is Eome- where n farm on which such u rclio of a bvgono ago as the hired man is to bo found this year. What an institution ho used to bo in the days when wo were young ! A thoroughbred Yankee ; not n drop of imported blood in his veins ; strong and htho , and nctivo nun tireless - loss intelligent , fairly well educated , ekillcd in his business , and , ns a rule , industrious beyond the belief of this ton-hour generation. From the time ho drove his uxo into the woodpile in the door yitrdon the Iblof April until the close of ttioEcabon , after harvesting , ho oxpejctod to work , and ho did worK , not from sun tos-uii ) but from da\\n to dnrkncss , and then did the milking and feed the pigs afterward. His day wns fourteen. fifteen , oven sixteen hours long , nnd it never oc curred to him that it should bo shorter. Ho was no specialist. Ho could do anything. He was smart with n fccytlic , handy wilh n hoe , cu.to with a crnulo , and experienced with nn nxe. Ho know how much grain and grass seed wbro required to the acre , when grnts was fit to cut , nnd when it was hayed enough to"go in"and ho did not need to be told when to drop turnip seed in the corn Held or how to put corn in the shock. lie could build wall , make cider , bhinglo tlio barn , make a hayrack or doctor n sick hog. It was safe to leave him to work alone. And he got for his services $10 , $12 , possibly $15 a month for eight months , nnd saved three-fourths of it. Then , when ho had worked eight or ton seasons nnd ac cumulated n few hundred dollars , ho probably married the "hired girl"who had been at work for n dollar n week and saved half of that , bought n farni , got out of debt little by little , educated his children and sent thorn to the city to prcnch or to practice law , or work in the store or bhop , while ho btnycd on the old homestead. Fowls nml Krult. New York Tribune : Everyone who undertakes the ciuo of poultry soon finds out how much they btilTor from cold , and how their produce is reduced , or btopped oil altogether , if exposed to it. And yet heat is n greater" trial to them ; they need fcomo summer screen. The shade of trees and bushes , with a good dust-wallow in the shadiest spot , , is a great aid and comfortand the trees are doubly benefited by the arrange ment first in n free supply ot circctiyo manure and suppression of weeds ; and secondly , by the destruction of many insect enemies. Plum trees do bet ter in n poultry yard than olse- whcro , nnd nil sorts of raspberries and , blackberries flourish there with little care or outlay. Somotimcs , however , it is found necessary to shut the fowls off from these by wire netting or otherwise , just when ripening fruit , Wo have found no summer shelter bo perfectly comfortable to chickens as an asparagus bed convenient of access after the cut ting bctiEon is over and growth shot up. With roomy runs of such n kind there is little or no danger of disease among the feathered stock. Women folk , de siring open air occupation , will find this culture of small fruits and poultry com bined capable of yielding a sure and not illiberal profit , if n piece of good hind can bo obtained near n town , nnd the resolve bo carried out to allow no weeds ntnll on it. After the ground isonco planted , the after work is light ; but there will constantly bo found some thing to do. Blairco. The Kntlrc State. HOLDHEGH , Neb. , Mny 5. To the Ed itor of Tim Bii : : : Can you give n gen eral idea nsto the location of good farm ing districts in the btato of Nobrabkn where crops , last fall , and the fall pro ceeding , were good. E. A. KLEIiHEKOUH. Farm Notes. And I must work thro' months of toil , Anil years of cultivation , Upon my proper patch of soil To grow tny own plantation. I'll take the showers as they full , I will not vex my bosom ; Enough if ut the ciul of all A little garden blossom. Tennyson. Farmers who keep sheep should not forget that wool is only a product of the sheep. The renl profit to be derived is not so much from the wool as from the mutton nnd lambs. Wool mav bo low and fail to give a profit , yet sheep and lambs may pay well. The sheep indus try may bo profitable , oven though but little demand exists for wool. An excellent insect destioyor , is said to bo alum water , made by dissolving a pound of alum in three quarts of water. If the alum water bo added to white wash it will not only improve the white wash but kill the vermin in the poultry house when the whitewash shall bo ap plied. Coal ashes arc of some value ns a fer tilizer , especially to mix with clayey boil. But the bebt ube to make of the ashes is for roads and paths. A good covering , over which a little soil has boon thrown , will soon form a hard solid road. To mnko n hotter walk prepare and level the bed , excavating it a few inches below the general surface. Pour on a coating of coal tar and cover it thickly with coal ashes. When this shall have become dry repeat with another coat of tar and ashes , nnd so on until there shall be four coats of tar and as many of ashes. In n short time this will harden nnd make a walk ns hard as btonc. Bronze turkeys arc now made to attain the weight of fifty pounds when two years old , which is a largo increase com pared with the average weight of the past ten years. Mnko the melon hills now. Use plenty of manure over a surface of five feet in diameter , and after making the hill lot it btand until time to plant , then rework the hill und put in the seed. There are in America over 1,000,000 farms , large and small. They cover nearly 20,000,000 acres of improved land , nnd their total value is something like $10,000,000,000. Those figures nro not , of course , very comprehensive. They simply convoy the idea of vnstncss of nrca nnd equal vnstncss of importance. The estimated vnluo of the yenrly pro ducts of these fnrms is between $2,000- 000,000 und & 3,000,000,030. Only ono quart of milk poi cow fo each day may bo the turning point bo twccn profit and loss in the dairy. As some cowa will yield twice ns much lib others , it becomes the duty of the dairy man to raise his cows , and use only those from good milking families. No dairy can succeed which buys fresh cows to replace those that dry oil , as the chances are against him. No cow cnn bo depended upon'ni a milker until she shall have been tb'sted. The cheapest and bcty mode of keep- lice out of tne poultry hpuso is to nml a quart of kerosene fy > qnch bucket of strong sonp-subs on the floor , walls , roosts , ana every portion of the poultry house , forcing the liquid into the cracks nnd crevices. It will kill the vermin ns soon ns it shnll touch them , being ono of the , oest insecticides known. , i For homo use the , white unions nro preferred , ns they arp mild in Ilnvor. ' For market use thq , red nnd jcllow kinds nro the most dcsirnblo. Mnny believe that corn has a higher nutritive value if cut when the grain is well formed. Dr. Collier has made more thnn 100 analysis of corn fodder in all stages of growth , which proves that the tedder actunlly increases in mitrlt- ivo value until the cars shall have be come ripe. The bright spring days will cause the young pigs to grow rapidly. Turn them on grass ns soon as they are ten weeks old , but gradually at first , or they may hnvo the scours. It will cost but very little to raise a few pigs if they bo given the privilege of n small grass plot and fed twice a day. A western farmer bought hogs nnd fed out 100 bushels of wheat , nnd it re turned him $1.03 per bushel for the whent. Others report that they thus secure $1.523 per bushel for their wheat when fed to hogs with pork nt5 per 100 pounds. Tlio wheat should bo ground and moibtencd , nnd not fed whole. Ilurnl Now Yorker says : Ono thing seems to hnvo boon quite well demon ; slratcd , that a largo quantity of pota toes , ns well ns potatoes of n better qual ity , cnn bo raised with chemical fertil izers than with manure. Scatter ashes along the rows of the young strawberry plants ns soon ns they bhnll DO largo enough to work. Stir the earth , take out nil grass and then apply the ashes on the surface , and the rains will carry them down to the roots , Fer tilizers for strawberries give the bobt results when applied near the burfnco nnd not worked into tlio soil , ns the roots feed near the surface instead of penetrating deeply. Such perennial herbs ns sage , pennol , balm , mint , hoarhoumi , lavender , rue , thyme , savory nnd tansy are easily prown , nnd should bo found in every garden , ab once obtained they require but little labor and euro. A mysterious disease is raging among the horses in dillorent parts of the Unit ed States , bnys the Ilarrisburg , Pa. , Telegram , nnd in New York especially a number of them have died. The sick ness has become prevalent in this city and already several fine steeds have succumbed to the disease. The veter inary surgeons do not seem to under stand the trouble atnll. _ The number of farmers who are mak ing good silage in the barn bays is cer tainly surprising. Prof. Gullcy's plan of filling the silos : > nd using the 'hay for weighing is practised by many very successfully. Why have any dry fodder ? Why not put all the grass into the silo and cut all the grain with btnlks ? This ques tion is often asked. , ' Why not feed the members of the family entirely on canned goods ? Both questions can be answered alike. Animals , as well as men , need a variety. Cattle like a lit tle dry hay with their silage ; and there are many ways in which it is cheaper to feed dry grain alone. Again , hay is a good crop to sell when the silo is in proper condition. Early melons may bo started now by planting the seeds in rich earth , in egg shells. As soon as the young plants shall throw out leaves plant the shells containing the plants in the proper hills intended for then. The roots of the melons will break the shells after they shnll have been put in the ground. If fruits of nny kind are to bo set out , sco that the supply bo purchased , and the ground picked out and prepared , the stakes bet , so that when the time shall como for transplanting there need be no delay. With many springis con sidered the best time for setting out fruit , nnd if this plan bo intended , so far as possible the work should bo done early , bo that the trees or plants will bo able to make a good start to grow be fore hot , dry weather shall have sot in. The body is more susceptible to bene fit from Hood's Sarsnparilla now than at nny other season. Therefore take it now. Captivating tlie Jury , A verdict of $40 which Mrs. Carrie I. Worden recovered , says the Chicago News , in Judge Baker's court frlim Brink's Chicago Express company is at tributed to bo duo in part to the fact that Miss Liz/do Mansfield , blonua , pretty nnd captivating , sat in full view of the jury and coyly swung a tiny foot incased in low-quartered boots from the witness stand. Mrs. Worden sued tlio express company and recovered $40 from the court below for the loss of a number of valuable chairs and other ar ticles while her effects were being moved. Miss Mansfield was so fresh nnd pretty that the jurors quito lost their hearts to her , nnd the lawyers de clared that if they hnd her for a witness every time they tried n case they would never lose ono. "You nre a domestic , I believe ? " naked the Brink's lawyer of Miss Liz- zio. "You believe , " snid Miss Lizzie , scornfully , with nn impress on the believe - liovo , "well , I believe you nro off your base. Do I look like a domestic1" ( with crushing disdain ) . "No , sir , I nm a friend of the family. " The admiring jurors glowed nt the Blink's lawyer , who wns so completely squelched that he lost all of his elo quence. * * * * * ' * * * " * " * .
