Farming 1 That Does Not Pay
Mr\ James I. Baird,writing to the Indiana
farmer, says a very prevalent but errone
ous idea exists among cultivators of the soil
to the effect that progressive farming, in
the main, is to spread widely over ground,
covering many hills and dales, with but
secondary concern how its fertility is to be
preserved, or improved, or how to make the
jnost out of the soil while it is passing away.
It is this spreading-over-ground manner of
farming that is the cause, the chief cause,
of so many prematurely wornout farms.
Too many acres badly cultivated is as ex
hausting to the soil as the drain upon it by
the crops themselves. Imperfect cultiva
tion is shallow plowing, want of rest or a
rotation of crops, green manuring and more
of the products fed to stock on the farm and
returned to the soil in the form of manures.
The suu exhales, the wind dissipates and the
fains wash away a large per cent, of the
fertility at best, and where farms are culti
vated just enough, as it were, to keep them
well exposed to these influences, it can but
increase the loss of fertility.
Borne weeks ago the writer visited a large
farm that only thirty years ago lay buried
in primeval forests, and though it lies well
and was once very fertile, it is to-day
:;carcely worth cultivating—literally “run
down.” The process of shallow plowing,
m opping one product without change, pas
turing closelj 1 , stock mostly sold off from the
farm, with but little, if any, of the pro
ducts fed on it, or returned to it, is what
did the work for it. And the present crop
of corn growing on it is as sickly and faded
as Byron's “sere and yellow leaf ” It won’t
pay for its cultivation. This farm and its
treatment is only one instance of many
farms on which the manner of farming is
practiced throughout the country.
Another instance just the reverse of the
foregoing is given to show how a farm may
be kept up or may be restored when down.
The farm contains about 50 acres embo
somed among high hills, with deep diverg
ing dales surrounding. The soil is a thin
and sandy loam. The leveler portions of
the hilltop were cleared, portion after por
tion; these were when cleared planted to
corn, with some manure in the hill, then
sown to,wheat in the fall, with some top
dressing of barnyard manure; then in the
spring clover and grass were sown. The
clover was let remain for three or four
years, till the field was needed for grain,
with some pasturing; then was turned un
der—often two falls in succession—then
planted to corn, followed by wheat and
clover and grass in the spring, as before;
only now the first growth was cut and
cured, and the second was pastured to some
extent, after which it was turned under
when desired for grain. The steep hillsides
were cleared and sown in grass for pastur
ing and were seldom broken save to reno
vate the sward. The farmer kept conside
rable stock, especially of cattle, sheep and
hogs, thereby converted much forage into
manure which was returned to the fields.
His neighbors could not boast such fine cat
tle or hogs, nor so neat, well-arranged,
well-kept and healthy a farm. He raised a
family on it; trebled its original value and
sold it to one having more money than
farming skill, and to-day the farm is almost
sunken to its original sterility.
Ways of Wasting Milk.
The New York Tribune, in an article on
the proper manner to manage a dairy farm,
says; It is common to dry up cows three or
months before calving. In many cases they
dry up without any effort on the part of the
owner. This is the habit of natives more
than of thoroughbreds. The Jerseys hold
onto their milk longer than any other breed
and this propensity’ conies from their being
milked as long as they will give any. No
doubt this characteristic can be fixed by
just this sort of practice continued from
year to year and generation to generation.
They will keep on giving milk up to the
time of calving, even though the food be
poor. There are several Jerseys on Kirby
Homestead which have never been dry since
the first calf, before they were two years
old. The old-fashioned notion to milk only
in the morning after cows drop off in the
yield in winter is a mistake. If worth milk
ing at all a cow is worth milking twice a
day. She will not only give more, but the
milk will be of a great deal better quality.
It does not do milk any good to remain in
the udder so many hours after it is secreted,
and it does not do the cow any good. Just
why the last milk drawd is best is unex
plained. We know it is the richest, and if
the reason is because it is the last secreted
then the 24-hour rule of milking is a poor
one in more than one sense —poor in quan
tity and quality. The law of stimulation
holds good in milking and, if well followed,
will help to make good milkers, and, if cas
ual and disregarded, it will run down the
best and run out rapidly those which do not
have the characteristic of production so
strongly developed, 'irregularity in milk
iug does more damage to cows than most
persons are aware of, and the same Is true
in regard to feeding. There should be as
little excitement as possible, and an effort
made to milk, feed, water and clean the
cows at fixed and regular times. There is a
great deal of sympathy between the cow’s
mind and the machinery operated to fill her
udder. Good care counts as much almost
as good food.
Green Soiling’.
The Amerienn Agriculturist thinks that
in the Southern States soiling can lie carried
on with the greatest profit. There are seve
ral crops that may be grown which are not
suitable for the North. Pearl millet, teo
sinte, onw|poas, millet (this thrives especially
"ell), Bermuda grass (this affords the very
best summer pasture and if fertilized yields
an enormous quantity of feed), Festucu
pratnnsis (Meadow fescue, Randall grass or
Evergreen grass) grows luxuriantly and
makes the best pasture; rye may often be
pastured all the winter; the native wild
glasses, crab grass, Elrusinr Indira, finger
grass (Panicvin sanguinale), barnyard or
dooryard grass {Paninuni Crusx-gulli),
sprouting crab grass ( Panicvm prolifrrum),
Texas millet, Panin,urn Tcxunum and the
common (far too common) beggars’ ticks
(fiirtens/rondosa), and the (also too com
mon) beggars’ lice (Dnsnindimn nwlle), all
furnish a most abundant, pasturage. The
largo amount of wood pasturage, contain
ing much grass of various kinds and a wealth
of lea ves of young timber, more nutritive
than any grass or forage plants, also affords
excellent subsistence for a largo part of the
early portion of the year; while for winter
feeding with hay and other todder, the
abundant sweet potato and cheap cotton
seed mes make the Very best substitute for
the Noraern roots and grain feed. Butter
can be trade in the South for 10c. a pound
more eaily than it can be for 20c. in the
North; he markets there are far better and
higher pices can be obtained than in any
part of lie North excepting the “fancy”
prices pail in some of the largest cities.
Eggs by Weight.
The flirnl Mew Yorker, in discussing the
value of Ijfferent kinds of chickens as egg
layers, safs: Leaving aside the fact that
eggs sell :>y the dozen (which is wrong, as
they shoud sell by weight), it is fair to
claim tint the hen which lays the largest
number of eggs may not be equal, so far as
actual pnductien is concerned, to one not
so prolific in number of eggs. Estimating
that a len lays ten eggs to the pound, and
lays 120 eggs in a year, she is not equal to
the hen hat lays 100 eggs in a year weigh
ing eighi eggs to the pound. It ofton hap
pens that a really meritorious hen is con
demned as unprofitable because she laid
fewer egjs than another, when in fact she
has eonvtrted more food into eggs and per
formed greater servioe. If eggs were sold
by weight t would be necessary only to
separate the really prolific hens from the
others by weighing the eggs. That eggs
vary in size all well know; but there is
something, to be considered in the cost.
Cows are now tested for the number of
pounds of milk yielded (instead of quarts)
and due regard is given the relative propor
tions of solid matter in the mills. But
“eggs are ggs,” without regard to size of
weight, an! the best hens are sacrificed at
times because they are lacking in numbers
though fully up to the average in quality.
Both the producer and purchasers would be
benefited by selling eggs according to weight.
Under the present system both are some
times cheated, while the real improvement
of our laying hens is retarded and unsatis
factory.
Smoke as a Fertilizer.
A correspondent of the Rural Messenger
claims to have discovered anew way of
making fertilizers. An old stick and mud
chimney had been thrown down and the
clay spread about over the ground that was
afterwards planted to corn. The corn grew
on the clayed land with such rankness as to
set him thinking. What, caused it! The
smoke that had settled in the clay, of
course. Bo he tried an experiment by
erecting a rail pen, covering it with rails
and placing upon these a two-foot layer of
dry swamp muck or peat. Built a fire un
derneath, in the pen, and kept it smothered
down with green wood, same as for smoking
bacon. Manufactured six loads of manure
this way, all well saturated with smoke,
which he applied to corn land. It acted
splendidly, deepening the color of the crop
to a vivid green and accelerating the growth
in an extraordinary degree. He writes: I
have evidently hit it. Smoke is a fertilizer
and this is the way to harness it. It must
be locked up in some absorbing material
like peat or woods mold and so applied.
There is virtue in smoke if we can keep it
by us.
Manuring Grapevines.
The Florida Dispatch has the following
on tlie proper manures for vines: Common
barnyard manures are not adapted to grow
ing the best grapes, though they are much
better than no manuring. The faults of
stable manures are an excess of nitrogen,
causing excessive growth of vine and too
little of mineral fertilizers which produce
the fruit. An application of potash in spring
or any time during the growing season is
very beneficial. Old country vineyards are
manured almost exclusively by the ashes
from the burned trimmings of grapevines.
These ashes are very rich in potash. This
mineral food is especially valuable in pro
moting early ripening. Vines that over
bear are simply in most eases setting a
larger number of clusters than the vine can
supply potash for perfecting the roots and
for changing the harsh juices of the green
grape into tho richness of the riper one.
Tobacco in Bartow County.
The Bartow Advance-Courier says; The
cultivation of tobacco is to become a very
important factor here in Polk county, where
it can be grown so readily. Every one who
has experimented is enthusiastic as to the
profitable yield, and we would suggest to
growers the importance of promoting only
the very bast grades from the start, and in
that way make “Polk County Tobacco” a
brand that will guarantee the very best in
the world. Doh’t even experiment with an
inferior grade and you will soon see what a
good reputation from the start will do for
you in the market. It is money in your
pocket to raise a little of the very best grade
rather than a great deal of inferior quality.
This is true of vegetables, fruit, etc., but
is particularly true of tobacco, remember.
Household.
Pear Marmalade.—Peel and cut some
pears and macerate them 24 hours, with
three-quarters of a pound of white sugar to
every pound of fruit. Boil them an hour
at most, adding the juice and thin yellow
peel of lemons to taste. The lemon peel
should be cut very small and be cut from
fresh lemons.
Creamed Apples.—Pare your fruit and
either scald or bake it until sufficiently soft
to pulp it through a colander; sweeten to
taSte, fill your glasses three parts full with
it, then plentifully sprinkle in some pow
dered cinnamon, put a good layer of rich
whipped cream on the top and sift white
sugar over it.
Tomato Chowder. —Ono bushel green
tomatoes chopped fine, one grated horse
radish, one teacup mustard seed, twelve
large onions, two large spoons cinnamon,
two large spoons cloves, two large spoons
allspice, ono large spoon black jiepper;
bring all to a boil, then drain, heat the vin
egar, pour on hot and twelve green peppers
chopped fine.
Layer Cake.—Two cups sugar, one-half
cup butter, three-fourths cup milk, three
cups flour, four teaspoonfuls baking pow
der, whites of eight eggs beaten to a stiff
froth, and put in last a little at a time.
Jelly for above: One-half pint milk, place
vessel holding milk into boiling water. Beat
one egg, one-half cup sugar und large one
fourth cup flour together, and then stir it
into the boiling milk; flavor when cool.
Hpread between layers and frost the top.
Apple Jam.— Peel and core the apples,
and cut them in thin slices; then put them
into a preserving pan or enameled sauce
pan, and to every one pound of fruit add
three quarters of a pound of white sugar,
broken small and put in, tiod up in a piece
of coarse muslin, a few cloves, a small piece
of ginger and the rind of a lemon very thin;
stir with a wooden spoon on a quick Are for
:*0 minutes or longer. If the apples he juicy
when sufficiently boiled the jam will cling
to the spoon. Remove the cloves, etc., anti
put the jam into jam-pots, and when quite
cold tie them down with thick paper or
bladder. To be kept in a cool, dry place.
Clear Ox-tail Bocp.— Cut an ox-tail
into pieces about an inch long, with a small,
tine meat saw. Stew these pieces of tail in
some stock or broth Cut up a carrot and
turnip into small, square pieces the si7xi of
dice. When the pieces of tail are nearly
tender add the vegetables, simmer till the
tj.il and vegetables are quite tender, strain
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1887.
off the pieces of tail and vegetables. Clear
the stock, put in the tail and vegetables and
serve. If the tail is very large the pieces
near the root must be cut into two, or even
four. A small tail will make three pints of
soup and a large tail three quarts. Be care
ful to remove all the grease before clearing
the soup. If you have no broth in which
to make this soup use two ox-tails for three
pints. If very rich soup is wanted it is
better to make stock, as ox-tails have much
gelatine but not much gravy iu them.
Melon Preserves.—For watermelon
preserves pare the green rind, cut into dice
and throw into cold water to ext ract a little
of the juice. Drain, put into the preserv
ing kettle, mid a heaping teaspoonful of salt
and powdered alum for two gallons of rind;
fill the kettle with cold water and slowly
boil the rind, covering with a plate and
weight to keen it under water. Boil till
perfectly tender, drain and put in a rich
syrup made thus: Boil three or four lemons,
jieeled and sliced, iu a half cup of water
with the yellow part of the peel. In an
other pan boil four ounces of ginger root,
tied in muslin, in two pints of water, till the
flavor is out. Strain the water from both
pans and make a syrup with twice as much
sugar by measure; add the lemon and melon,
boil slowly half an hour or more till the
preserve is very thick and clear. It should
crystallize around the inside of the jars in
keeping.
Farm and Stock Notes.
If we take all the hogs fattened in the
United States in a year and change the
time of fattening from cold to warm weath
er, one-half of the grain now fed will make
all the pork. This would be a saving of
food, at least, to the amount of $75,000,000
per year.
Pig-keeping for any profit beyond the
range of the extra milk and the kitchen
slops turns on grass. In grass there is profit;
and hogs can lx; kept without vexation if
things be fitted for them. It is no trouble
to turn a dozen sows into a pasture with a
nice shed for them to sleep under.
The proper way to give salt is to season
the food. When thrown in the trough and
licked up by the animals salt sometimes
causes them to drink frequently, which is
not beneficial in very cold weather unless
the water be somewhat warm. Salt is ne
cessary for all classes of stock, but it is
more beneficial when given in the food.
Raw meat chopped fine and fed once a
day will produce more eggs than any other
food that can be given the hen. One pound
of rough meat to fifteen hens is sufficient.
The meat should be lean and, if preferred,
may be cooked, but it gives better results
when given raw. It is not expensive when
the increased number of eggs is considered.
Though no person should allow the family
horse to depend upon grass alone yet, owing
to its being his natural food, lie should not
be deprived of its use entirely. When in
use, however, owing to its loosening effects
upon the bowels, it should not be fed to him,
but when not in use grass with a portion of
good hay and grain forms an excellent ra
tion.
A practical farmer, who burns both coal
and wood in different stoves, makes a prac
t.ice of mixing the ashes and applying all
on his young orchard in the spring. He be
lieves that the potash of the wood ashes is
effective in small quantities, and that in
addition to the coal ashes makes the latter
much more absorptive of ammonia or nitric
acid from the atmosphere.
An exchnnge advocates putting bulls to
work about the farm, saying that it would
prevent their getting fractious. Possibly
we may live to see the day when the spirit
of utility shall be so much abroad in the
land that the Jersey and Holstein bull calf
will be dehorned and be made to do double
duty at the head of tho herd and before the
cart and plow with no fears.
In storing away garden seeds place them
in woolen bags, with a piece of gum cam
phor in each bag, and also dust the seeds
with insect powder. These methods will
protect the seeds against insects, which de
stroy many kinds, such as peas, beans, etc.
All seeds should be kept in a dry place and
an examination of them should be made
several times during the winter.
A pig which while eating takes its head
out of the trough and acts as if the slop had
run the wrong way has the sniffles. He
should be removed from the herd and eared
for, as the disease is contagious. Put pine
tar in the slop and smear both thq nose and
face with it. Feed sulphur and give tur
pentine. A free use of carbolic acid, ex
ternally and internally, should also be made.
An ox, a cow or six sheep w’ill eat all the
grass that grows on an acre between April
and October, and no human labor will have
been expended in the process: but the same
acre, well manured, would produce thirty
tons of loots, which would feed at least five
oxen for five months better than the grass
fed one for the same time. Besides, the
condition of the land for the next g ear's
crop would be greatly improved.
Trimming an apple tree does not mean
that one must go into the orchard and hack
away with ax and saw simply to cut away
a certain proportion of wood, but the trees
should be evenly trimmed and no limbs re
moved except such as may benefit the tree
by being cut off. Where a limb has com
menced to decay it should be removed,
however, as it may be caused by disease.
Especially is this necessary with pear trees,
which are subject to blight.
Care for the chickens does not imply that
they should be coddled and panuiered to
death by overzeal or laistakeu kindness.
Care is that part of the routine of poultry
culture which bestows a kind hand to the
tender younglings, •to supply their little
wants with the, view of promoting thrift,
good health and prepossessing looks, and
prepare them for a useful and valuable life
by giving them such food and adjunct ne
cessaries as will best accomplish this.
A writer in Hoard's Dairyman says that
as a general thing Hnlsteins are kept for the
purpose of selling their milk and are fed for
the purpose of producing quantity instead
of quality, which makes a great difference.
Feed them as you do Jerseys for butter, and
you will soon see a great difference in the
quality of tho milk. He has grade Jerseys,
Ayrshires and Shorthorns; also thorough
bred Shorthorns, Guernseys and Holsteins,
and nover saw young cattle do so well on
the same amount of food as the Holsteins
do.
