Stock Feeding.
Mr. Waldo F. Drown, a noted stockman,
has for sevora! years made a study of stock
feeding and is convinced that one of the
greatest wastes of the farm comes from ig
norance or carelessness in that matter.
When the farmer goes to market with his
grain he is careful to find out the current
price and tries to get the top of the market,
and if ho should drive to the grain dealer
with a load of corn and sell it to him for
•20c. a bushel when the established price was
40c. he would be thought a fit candidate for
the lunatic asylum, yet practically this is
done by a large per cent, of farmers who
feed stock. This failure to get the most be
can from his grain varies with different
farmers in degree and cause, and it may be
profitable for us to ask, how? 1. There is a
large aggregate loss of food from feeding
grain to ill-bred stock, or to stock unsuited
to the purpose for which it is kept. The
dairyman who has made no test of his in
dividual cows will be fortunate when he
tests each cow separately if he does not find
one or two cows out of each twelve whose
milk is so poor that he is keeping theta at a
loss, the milk and butter product actually
failing to pay for the food, while in the
same herd there are other cows giving a
handsome profit. A dairyman of my ac
quaintance, milking twelve cows, on foot
ing up the amount of butter made from his
herd at the end of the year found they had
averaged but 145 pounds each. He then
began a systematic testing and weeding
out of the poor cows and a bet ter system of
feeding and gradually increased the yield of
his herd until in nine years he had an aver
age of 276 pounds per cow or nearly double
what he started with. It has been demon
strated a thousand times over that a grade
of short-horn steer, sired by a thoroughbred
will come into market a year earlier than a
native, or will at three years old weigh from
2 to 400 more and command a half cent or
a cent more than the native and will pay
from 33 to 50 per cent, more for the food
consumed. In the raising of horses there
is a still greater difference. The scrub
horse of no particular breed costs just as
much to raise as a grade Norman, Shire,
Clyde or Cleveland bay, and the scrub will
lie slow sale, at half the price at which the
grades will sell and the latter will be in mar
ket one year sooner. The only difference in
the cost of raising one of these and the
common scrub is the service fee for the sire.
There is uo money in raising a scrub colt
but the raising of good grades always from
thoroughbred sires is largely profitable.
Some of the leading horse breeders agree on
one point, which is that the mare and foal
both are better off and more likely to do
well if the mare is worked regularly every
day up to foaling time, and this testimony
agrees with my own experience.
A second way in which farmers fail to get
the full value of food is by failing to feed
enough. Before a cow can use any of her
food to make milk or fat she must eat enough
to supply the waste of the system. To be
sure many cows are only fed enough for
this purpose and still give milk, but the milk
is produced at the expense of the animal;
first she parts with her fat and then her
muscle, and she grows thin and poor, be
cause you do not give her food enough.
This food used to repair the waste of the
system is called “the food of support,” and
if a growing animal is so sti.ted as to not
have enough food for this purpose it is per
manently stinted in its growth so that there
is a loss in all food given it afterward. A
cow is in one sense a machine to make milk
and butter, and up to the limit of her ca
pacity she can consume profitably the food
given her. If, however, she is fedsparingly
she will first use the food necessary for her
support and give a return in milk for the
remainder. Often a farmer is keeping three
cows to produce ten pounds of butter a week
when the same amount of food fed to two
would give twelve or fourteen pounds a
week; in other words, the food used to
supply the waste of the system of the third
cow was lost, but when fed to the other two
it gave a profit.
Saving Manure.
The New Orleans Picayune published
some weeks since a statement made by a re
spectable Northern farmer w hose word was
not questioned by any who knew him, that
with 30 head of cattle, soiled and fed so
that all of their manure was saved, he saved
in five months manure which, including a
large quantity of ashes and muck, was es
timated at 600 tons. A sample analyzed by
a chemist showed that its commercial value,
according to the potash, acid phosphate and
ammonia it contained, was about $2,600.
The ashes and muck cost in money and la
bor about S6OO, leaving a credit of $2,000 to
the cows. This was tho accumulation of
five months. A year’s accumulation would
have been more than twice as much. For
est leaves may be collected in place of muck
and used in the compost heap all over the
pine regions of the South, and often plenty
of muck besides may be obtained.
Six hundred tons of manure like thnt de
scribed above would enrich 30 acres of land
so completely that it would produce large
yields of forage or other crops that would
feed 30 head of cattle twelve months and
produce valuable crops besides. Peter Hen
derson got 90 tons of pearl millet (cat-tail
millet# from one acre completely fertilized.
He estimated that it made 15 tons of dry
forage. Six hogsheads of sugar and its
drainings of molasses have been made on
one acre of Louisiana soil, not three miles
from New Orleans. The cane out for the
mill weighed about 00 tons, besides thp tops
and side leaves.
By applying the 000 tons of compost made
by the 30 cows on 30 acres of land that the
previous year hail produced two crops of
w’bip-poor-will peas, both crops plowed in,
the land would tlieij be well supplied with
ammonia and humus. Such land, deeply
plowed andsubsoiled, ought to produce more
than 100 bushels of corn, or 75 bushels of
oats, or two bales of cotton t-o the acre.
On such land a large crop of Irish pota
toes may be taken off in June, and fodder, j
corn or sorghum may follow the potatoes I
for soiling crops, and full crops may be
made for soiling purposes or for dry forage
to be fed in the winter. The early soiling
crops that are cut off and fed to cattle lx
fore June and July may bo followed by a
crop of sweet potatoes and these fed chiefly
to milch cows. Nothing secures better milk
ora larger flow; or they may be used for
stall feeding beeves in winter, intended for
winter or spring market, when fat beef is
scarce.
Turnips nmy be sown in August and Sep
tember on land from which the soiling crops
have been removed and. these foil to cattle
the fail and winter.
Rust of the Orange.
A writer in the Florida Agriculturist, in
a letter from Leesburg, ill that State, in
speaking of rust on oranges, says of ail
orange growers with whom he has talked
be has found scarce one whom he could con
vince that it was an insect that caused the
rust; sonh of them think that by proper
cultivation and fertilizer they can overcome
it. “They might as well try to drive Heas
from a dog by giving him an extra hone as
to try to drive rust from their groves with
extra fertilizing. No, sir; there is nothing
but an external application will do it. There
was one gentleman whoso whole crop last
year (some 4,000 boxes) was made unshippa
ble bv the rust mite." This year, continues
the writer, this same gentleman has no crop
at all, I suppose for the reason that the rust
mite has so devastated his trees, as 1 hold
that the rust mite injures his trees (none
bearing) almost as much as the scale in
sect.
In my town I did not find a single grove
that was not swarming with rust. Groves
that never had it before (unless a box or so)
this year have not a single tree free from it.
I estimated that there would he not less than
20,000 boxes of rusty fruit, that was bright
last year, and that this means a dollar a box
less —$20,000; and os I am quite certain my
figures are within the mark, is it not of vital
interest that this enemy of ours should be
banished or kept in check! but when the
grove owners are so bent in their belief that
it is not an insect, what is to be done! One
would think with papers liko the Agricul
turist, as thick as hail in the country, that
all would he well posted. There are two
gentlemen I met with that are taken ds au
thority oil all matters appertaining to orange
growing; one of these I found a little doubt
ful about its being ar. insect. The other
gentleman I have not interviewed yet but I
am trying to do so, for if 1 can get one of
them into the belief that it is really an in
sect, and lie gives it out as such, the rust
will have to go; but until then I am doubt
ful in some quarters.
I have given you a low estimate when I
say that there are in the groves I visited
25,000 more boxes of rusty oranges this year
than any previous year, which means, as I
have stated. $20,000. Well, now, what
would have l>een about the cost of
keeping the rust from this 20,000
boxes! This is rather a hard matter to
settle the actual cost, for the reason that
the material used is the best of all fertilizers,
and oue would have to calculate the differ
ence between taking your fertilizer round in
a cart or wagon and spreading it with a
shovel and squirting it on the trees with a
pump, and as I did not give mathematics
much study when I was at school I will
leave that for some of your readers to settle.
As I have made up my mind that the rust
can, if not banished altogether, be kept so
much in check that its injury will bo mini
mized and at a cost so small as not to be
mentioned when one thinks of the loss the
rust mite is causing, I feel certain in my
mind that unless the matter is taken in hand
next summer, next year’s crop will boas
black as tar and not worth shipping. Be
lieving this is the apology I make for trou
bling you for space in your much esteemed
paper.
Grass Is King.
The Live Stock Journal says; It is stated
that artificial meadows in England rent at
S2O per acre and rarely less than $lO. This
class of land rents for more than the culti
vated lauds. In Holland, where the popu
lation is very dense, the highest priced lands
are those in grass. In this country—notably
the dairy districts of New York and the
blue grass region of Kentucky—those land?
well set in choice grasses are the highest
priced and the most profitable.
Grass is king—not because it pays the
best profit of any general crop, for the
labor and expense employed in Europe, in
this country and in all portions of the world
where there is a. high degree of civilization
existing, but because this crop is more gen
eral and more abundant than any other and
enters more largely than any other into the
support and maintenance of lioth man and
beast and of fowls. It is Nature’s chief,
best gift to man in the way of an agricul
tural crop. Few, indeed, are the lands that
grass of some kind does not grow upon
spontaneously. It covers the waste places
and makes them beautiful. It is the surest
and the greatest of all agencies for the
maintenance and recuperation of soil fer
tility. It is Nature’s own restorer.
It grows in the day and in the night,
week days and Sundays. * The farmer who
devotes the major portion of his land and
his attention to the grass crop, combined
with stock raising, is the one most apt to
succeed. Tile most successful and inde
pendent farmers, as a rule, are those who
grow grass as their chief crop and raise
stock enough to consume it on the farm.
The highest priced agricultural lauds we
have are in sections of country where this
system is adopted; here we find more intel
ligeuce among the rural population and
more evidences of substantial thrift on the
l'anns and in the farm houses. Here we find
the highest degree of wealth, refinement and
culture among the agricultural class. Grass
is king.
Preserving Posts.
Experiments conducted at the lowa Ag
ricultural College, with a view to ascer
taining the relative value of tar, crude
petroleum ami the two combined as pre
servatives when applied to fence posts,
make it appear that tar is valuable for all
woods. Petroleum alone seems to have lit
tle or no effect. Tar applied alone made a
lHitter showing than where the posts were
tarred after being painted with petroleum.
Posts painted first and then tarred did not
absorb the tar. When uni ainted posts were
immersed in boiling tar it was observed that
the tar had penetrated the wood one-eighth
or one-quarter of an inch, thus forming a
coat that could not scale. Petroleum did
no good when applied alone and harm when
preceding the use of tar. Tarring is esti
mated to cost two cents per post. The ex
pense attending the use of tar appends to
prove that the cost of application is greater
tliau the profit where the application is to
liaxswood ami willow. What the profit will
prove to be in the case of cellar and oak
posts time enough has not yet elapsed to in
dicate. ' _______

Lemon Jelly.—A good way to prepare
lemon jolly in this climate is after the usual
method of working the gelatine; do not al
low it to harden, Put beat it well with a
strong egg heater, then mold it. If you
can place it upon ire all the better, hut it
will keep shape when beaten in this way
without tile ice.
Plum Pudding.—To six ounces of stoned
raisins add six ounces of finely chopped
suet, six ounce * of washed currants, a half
pound of neeloil and chopped apples, four
ounces of moist sugar, three ounces of
grated bread crumbs, thrre ounces of flour,
a half ounce of mixed spices, three ounces
of chopped peel and six eggs, wjth oue-half

pint of milk. Bent the eggs and spices well
together, mix in the milk by degrees, then
add the other ingredients, working all to a
smooth paste. Dip a cioth in boiling water,
put it on a sieve. Hour it and tie tlie pud
ding up well and boil ten hours. \V lien
wanted for use plunge again in boiling
water and boil three hours. Serve with
any kind of pudding sauce desired.
How to C’ook Turkey.—After the fowl
has been well singed and freed from pin
feathers, it should bo thoroughly drawn by
opening one side just below the breastbone;
lie sure to take out everything ami then
wash several times, wipe dry, then plunge
into boiling water and afterwards into cold
water —ice water preferred; this will give a
plump appearance; now cut the neck off
close to tlie body, leaving the skin so as to
draw it over and tie; also tie the legs close
to the side, having cut off the first joint;
fasten down the wings with fine skewers.
Take the liver, gizzard, heart, neck, etc.,
and boil in a quart or more of water until
done so as to be used in the dressing. If
the turkey is old it should lie boiled some
half hour or more lief ore roasting. For
roasting a bird weighing ten pounds allow
two-and-a-quarter bourse Baste with salt
and water, then cover with lumps of butter
and afterward baste with drippings.
The dressing: Take three pints of bread
or cracker crumbs, chop the livor, gizzard,
etc., fine with a lump of butter and a little
salt pork, moisten with the water in which
they have been boiled, add butter, salt, pep
per and powdered sago in a small quantity.
Fill tlie body anil breast as full as possible
and sew up. Rich mashed potatoes also
make a good stuffing, also chopped oysters
are an addition. Should there lie more than
necessary to fill tlie fowl it can be placed at
one side when the fowl is half done and
cooked for future use.
Farm and Stock Notes.
Chopping a hole in the ice to allow the
cows to drink is simply a method of chilling
them, thereby causing a shrinkage in the
yield of milk. Warming the water is easier
and much cheaper in tlie end.
Two thousand five hundred dollars worth
of onions, lettuce, cabbage, spinach and
celery were raised from three acres of land
last summer by E. P. Marion, of Woburn,
Mass. Two riien and a boy managed the
work.
A Colorado beekeeper who lives where
alfalfa is extensively grown for forage says
the bees will not work on it when other
bloom can be visited. He is convinced that
alfalfa as a honey plant is greatly overesti
mated.
It would be better to kill a few of the
young pigs at birth than to compel the sow
to suckle too many, as lack of milk and cold
and cause the weaker ones to die. Large
litters are at no time desirable, and espe
cially in winter. t
In certain parts of Europe the belief is
prevalent that dusting the trees witli lime,
ashes or road dust tends to fruitfulness. In
the orchards of the Volga, where the fruit
rarely falls, the southeast winds are loaded
to suffocation with the dust of the desert.
The first calf, says a contemporary, makes
or mare the cow, "and from the first preg
nancy, when the mammary glands begin to
develop, up to t'no “coming in” is the most
important period of a cow’s life. What is
gained then may be held and added to;
what is lost can hardly be recovered.
To economize hay an excellent authority
sugg sts: “Two pounds of a mixture of
middlings, bran, ground oats and corn, of
equal parts, added to twenty-four pounds
*f straw or corn fodder, will give more
growth than twenty-five pounds of the best
timothy and costs about half as much.”
With trees set a considerable distance
apart, as we find them in the apple orchard,
the land may be seeded without much in
jury to the trees if a small circle be kept
open and cultivated about the tree. This
will be no great task and will save the or
chard and keep it in good, thrifty, growing
condition.
The farmer should remember that if he
can plow at any time during the winter he
will gain so much time for spring work.
Ground that will lie exposed to frost may
be plowed wet, dry or in any other condi
tion, ns the expansion and contraction of
heat and cold will prevent its clogging. The
frost is the best pulverizer known
The Jersey Bulletin says there is nothing
more useful than new-process linseed meal
in correcting deficient rations for cows.
Being about as rich in albuminoids as in
carbo-hydrates, it will make up the deficient
albuminoids of corn meal, corn fodder, poor
hay, etc. It also has a laxative tendency,
thus often preventing fevers as well as pro
moting the secretion of milk.
Experiments made to discover how much
blitter can be made from a pound of milk
show a great variety of results. It has
been found that the quantity of milk re
quired to produce a pound of butt -r ile
peuds on so many greatly varying circum
stances that no definite quantity can he
fixed upon. Even the same cow’s milk va
ries in quantity, as well as quantity, from
one day to another.
As illustrating the difference between the
time consumed in tillage where the rows are
long or short, Secretary Bonliam, of the
Ohio State Board of Agriculture, gives an
instance of a field of corn in which the
rows were 110 rods long, the piece being
about one-third as wide. The cultivation,
covering about 25 acres, required three
days lor the long way and four-and-a-half
days for the cross cultivation.
Oil, says the American Agriculturist,
is fatal to every insect it touches, and sul
phur is very offensive to them. A mixture
of four ounces of lard and one of sulphur,
well rubbed together, and with the addition
of one ounce of kerosene oil and one dram
of creosote, will be found an excellent rem
edy against all sorts of insect vermin, while
the liberal use of kerosene oil on poultry
roosts will free the fowls of their torment
ors.
If pork has ever soured or spoiled in a
barrel it would not be safe to use the barrel
for pork again, no matter how thoroughly
it might be cleansed. The cost of anew
barrel warranted to preserve the pork is
much less than the value of the meat which
it will hold. It is true, the fault may not
originally be in tlie barrel, but rather in the
mode of management; yet having once
spoiled a lot of pork the barrel had better
thereafter be left to other uses.
The bones of a well-bred, well-fed bog are
said to present only about one-twentieth
part of his gross weight. An animal of
this nature must necessarily carry a great
deal of fat, but the importance of making
it well muscled to keep it from complete
degeneracy is self-evident to any thoughtful
person; hence, inasmuch as the natural
tendency of the hog is to fat, feeders should
make it a point to counteract the evil by
using the most nutritious food to the ex
clusion of fat forming food.
Popular Science.
Anew safety catch has been devised for
an elevator which will stop the platform
automatically ns it arrives at the next, floor
above or below.' This device will lie very
handy In shops where u great deal of single
floor traffic is constantly being done, as it
will not necessitate the presence of a man
in the elevator as in the case of sliding
doors, and it will also dispense with care
ful watching when an open elevator well is
used.
Malaria is being successfully treated in
the medical stations of the Punjaub with i
picrate of ammonia. The usual dose is
from one-eighth of a grain to one and a-lmif
grain four or five times a day in a pill.
Half a grain is a fair average dose. Thus
given the remit is soon visible. In the
great majority of the cases treated one-half
grain doses in the interval prevented tlie
recurrence of the next attack of tlie fever, i
while in about 20 per cent, of the patient-: '•
two or three attacks followed liefore the
fever censed. In only one case of quartan
ague, despite large doses of the salt, the
fever recurred for six periods, gradually
diminishing in Intensity and then yielding i
to it. It is equally successful in ail the
forms of ague, but it is a curious fact that
the cases in which it failed to cure were ail
el' the tertian variety, I
