12 THE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27,1885-.-TWELVK PAGES. FACTS FOR THE FARMERS. IIAXDY HINTS TO HAVE ABOUT THE HOUSE. Tin- Unlatetn. an General rnrpooe Cattle— A Hatch nf Note* and Suggestions that will Itcpny the Farmer In Head Over Carefully. Whether any jiurticular breed can lay clnim to the distinction of “geueral-purjioso cattle" remains in dispute. Our breeders have so separated the nuinerons breeds ns to give each its particular place and classi fication. with but one duty to perform, in which it shonid excel, and restrlsting none in its eapwity as milk, beef or butter pro ducers. Hut while the genera Ipurpose cow must be one that completely fnltill* all ex pectations, there are cases in which a near approach to the various requisites may sin gle out one particular breed as best suited; and that breed is the Holstein. To award the palm of merit to any par ticular breed is to create an opposition to anch claim on the part of rivals, and the advantages possessed by the Holsteins must be claimed only upon their records and per formances. As butter producers they have challenged the Jerseys, and even held the lead over them for awhile, as may be cited in the case of Mercedes; and in their records as bntter producers for a long period of time they are still snjierior to the Jerseys. Bnt it must be admitted that the latter are, without doubt, the best butter producers ns a class, and the breeders of the Holsteins are sutistled with being able to strongly compete with the Jerseys. As milk pro ducers the Holsteins have no equal, that quality being the one particular point in which they excel. With records so close to 100 pounds of milk daily us to make it possible that hundreds of cows will soon exceed that quantity, and with butter records os high as thirty pounds per week, the breed may rightly be classed ns “gene ral purpose” for the dairy. And in addi tion it also invades the dominions of the Shorthorn and Hereford, and competes with them in beef production. Sevend enterprising breeders have caused valuable animals to be slaughtered in order to test the value of the breed for beef. A three-year-old recorded bull weighed alive on day of lulling pounds, and dressed 1430 pounds, and after deducting tallow the percentage of offal was only 20. The calves of the Holsteins make remnrknblo growth, Blnck Prince, owned in New York, making in twenty-one days a gain of 148 pounds, or at the rate of seven pounds daily; and it is not unusnol for them to gain 100 pounds per month on an average for a herd Ex traordinary growth is common, calves at six months old often weigh G00 pounds, while Jaap 4th, at 11 months, weighed 1200 pounds. A lot of yearling heifers averaged 1021 pounds, and that, too, after undergo ing an ocean voyage. Here we have, in the Holstein, not only the ability to produce large amounts of but ter but to yield milk heavily as well as to make rapid gain in weight at all ages and stages of growth. They certainly come ns near being a general purpose breed as could be expected, and answer the purposes of all classes of farmers. It is not claimed that tho Holsteins nre n beef-producing breed. That honor belongs elsewhere. Their chief characteristic is the giving of large quanti ties of milk, but in addition to that quality they possess a value as batter and beef pro ducers that adds to their usefulness to more ways than one, and this combination is not to be found in any other breed in such ex cellence. While the ideal general purpose animal cannot be correctly discrihed in anch terms os to satisfy the desires of nil, yet any breed that eomhinca the three great essentials in successful cattle raising- milk, bntter and beef—ao closely as to rival the breeds that excel in certain lines of pro duction is anrely entitled to the distinction of “general purpose." In hu atmosphere that is moist enough to suit plant-life dower-pots get green in time. In washing such if a little chloride of lime be put in the water it will he a longer time beforo they will become green again. One of the best known means of destroy ing the aphis is to give the vines or hushes n dusting of Persian insect powder. This remedy is an excellent one for all kinds of insects, and will not damage the plants. One of the advantages of rye over wheat ia that it can be grown on the lightest sandy soil, especially if manured, and it provides the earliest and best pasture in the spring, as well as yielding a crop of grain in sum- Potash is said to be a preventive of rust on blackberries. ^Thorough cultivation and tho d'jrtraotinnl^of the old wo.si by tire should also be done. The potash tiny be applied either in tho shape of wood ashes or in the ferr *? t'S-'h calls. Neats lor Hens, An empty barrel makes the best nest for a sitting hen. It may be set ont in the yard or the orchard, and be safe from rain or storm, and if closed by a loose door in the front at night, there will be no danger from vermin. A dour barrel is sunk in the ground for one-fourth oi{onc-third its diame ter, sloping it a little forward, to prevent rains from nesting iu. The excavntwl earth is filled back into the barrel, a neat being made in the center of it. This makes a very convenient arrangement, and gives sn earth bottom to the nest, with every facility for controlling the hen and the chicks. If these nests are scattered about the yard, hens will take possession of them, and when qne takes to setting, she may be fur nished with eggs, and closed up with a slutted door, or a coop act in front of the barrel, and protected from disturbance by other hens. The coop will eerve for feeding and watering the hen, and allow her a place for exercise. As one rarely has tbiuga ready when they are wanted for use, it T» well to look after sneb things as these in time, especially when early chicks are raised. Where barrels are not to be had conveniently, coops made in the shape of small sheds, and weather-proof, with loose doors to dose them at night, cun be made through the winter, in readiness for the early setters. Farm Note** Cornstalks cat and fed green make good food for brood mares. Clean hen houses and runs will bring in a good share of clean profits. The average annual yield of wheat in France is sixteen bushels per acre. Mix some copperas with the whitewash for your cellar walls. It is not wholesome for vennin. Agriculture cannot be carried ont by any rigid rale. The soil of no two fields is pre cisely alike, or benefited by the same treatment Blow cayenne pepper into cracks where ants congregate. Ants don’t like it Mice will also feel insulted and turn their tails npon haunts which have been red peppered. A dock laborer of London is said to have raised a date palm from seed, in a dingy tenement house, and by means of it to have secured the first prize at a recent dower show. A barrel contains 41-2 ooUU feet A bushel contains a shade more than 1 1-4 solid feet A solid foot of water weighs G2 1-2 pounds. An sere contains 43,240 square feet A writer in the Beekeepers’ Journal says that, as an offset to the record* of horses and cows, he had a colony of bees that pro duced titty-five pounds of hqney in three and s half days. A dnek will lay 1G0 egg* a year and will begin when six months old. The duck ling* grow much faster than chicks and come in at a time for market when the beet prices tor ducks have passed. Somebody claims to have discovered a new use for peaches ia the making of peach wine. It is said to be the finest flavored wine aver discovered, and bids (air to bo- come a favorite and profitable beverage. A mam of crocuses or snow-drops cannot be well grown in one year. They ihonld be planted in the autumn mouths, giving them • place where they may remain nndia- Imbed for a half a decade at leaat. The mnlburry and peach are both quick- growing tree*, and among the beat to plant iu a poultry yard tor securing abode. The hen* will oL;o ns.uat in destroying the in sects that attack the trees, us well as ferti lizing the ground around them. During last year bees in Ohio gathered 1,731,0:15 pounds of honey, estimated to be worth 8270,1175, while the fowls produced 32,GU2,32l dozen eggs, valued at 84,8’.HI,348. Tlie value of tho eggs was nearly equal to that of the wool produced iu the State. The room in which milk ia kept shonid be at n temperature not over sixty-five de grees. A thermometer should always he used, and the care bestowed on regulating the temperature will lessen the labor of churning when that operation is performed, The chief difficulty in teaching calves to drink from the pail arises from too great haste. Let the culf become hungry, warm the food to the temperature of new milk, give it the finger to suck, but only for a moment, and the calf is easily taught to drink. Give plenty of room in the shills. Horses and cattle need rest in a recumbent position just as much as men, snys the Prairie Far mer. It is not only exceedingly cruel hut the greatest unwisdom to place them in such uarrow stalls, or to so tie them that they caunot lie down easily and rest. At the fairs of the Hoyol Agricultural So ciety of England prizes are ottered for the best cow giving not less than eighteen qnnrts of milk dnily. which uinst contain at least 12 per cent, of solids, including bntter fat. This puts the animal upon a test of merit in performance for quantity and scientific analysis for quality. A good boar should have a short head, wide between the eyes, tine muzzle, lively eyes, silky ears, soft mellow skin, long, tine, abundant hair, but no bristles; short legs, heavy jowl and quarters, full, short neck, well developed organs, nnd compactly built body. Tho sow should resetnide him in many respects, bnt should have more length and depth of body. In deciding the qnestion whether to set! the corn out of the field, or crib nnd hold till spring "good points" to be considered are, first, corn will shrink ten per cent, in drying out, between husking time nnd May; rats nnd mice will destroy at least 10 per cent, more in any ordinary crib. It must also be counted in the light of the danger of loss by fire and the interest on your money. Orchard grass is specially adapted to strong, rich lands. It affords pasturage early in spring, and yields n great nmount of after-birth. It often looks coarse, but in renlity is tender, palatable mid nutritious. The habit of growing iu tufts or bunches may be overcome bv sowing the seed very thickly and harrowing it will in the spring. Some farmers sow it with clover, and prefer it to timothv for that purpose. A dairyman should endeavor to keep all his cows fully np to the standard. In fact, he should hnve no use for a poor cow, ns he may easily sink the profits of his herd ‘by keeping them, l’nrt of the herd may be verjr profitable and yet the business lio n losing one because the other portion does not pay. Each cow’s milk should be tested occasionally, and if any one is found deli dent she shonid be disposed of. those already affected began to recover. The cure was complete. The remedy is a simple one, and should not be forgotten. The German, Flemish and Dutch women who help husband »r father in his fields, are strung, hardy women who rear a stal wart race. Half the fine ladies who now- find a few tnrns on a plaza almost too much for them, would he all the better for a graduated scnle of garden work. Begin ning with a quarter of an hour a day they would find at the close of a month that they could easily do their two hours, and that they nte and slept as they never had done liefore, while they forgot that such evils ns blue devils and nerves ever hail any exist ence. Peter M. Gideon, of Minnesota, who has originated so many Silurian crab seedlings, gove »n account of his methods. Among other things he said: Perhaps I would not be far from the truth to say about one to each 5(10 seedlings will produce n fair sized apple. There is no variety, without tho Siberian crab in it, that can stand onr great est extremes of climate; hence the necessity of a cross. The best we have to operate with nre a mass of mongrel with mongrel, nnd nl each repetition select the best and try ngain, planting close together to give nature a chance to mingle. Honey has been known to commerce about 2,500 years. The Jews were engaged iu trading it at Tyre, that old and honored mart of trade in Phccnicia, some GOO years before the Christian era, aa we are informed in the Bible (Ezekiel, xxvii; 17). Sifnch, who also lived about thut time, mentions it with flour, milk, etc., among the necessa ries ot life. Yet the scientific management of bees has not been practiced for fifty years. And, instead of its being enume rated among the necessaries of lira it is too often thought to be a luxury-. Why are people so slowr to realize its value as a sweet, as well as its health-giving qualities? Does the “sting" frighten its thousands yet? • Upon the qnestion of feeding, nnd the difficulty of a formula for feeding, the kind of animal mast lie taken into consideration. For instance, cows more readily assimilate the nutriment of cut straw and relatively of all woody fiihre thnu horses. Again, the feeder must take into consideration the age of the nnirnal and the kind of animal (cattle and sheep require more bulky food than horses and swine), tho natural temper and disposition of tho nnitual, whether it is ubscquenttyj 2-100 tn addition, lay October waa advanced in price 3-toO and Later In the day October waa advanced m pr which affected noon movemenia.

A New Jersey correspondent of the Conn- tnr Gentleman gives tue following details of an experiment mode with winter oats, obtained from a Tennessee firm: “I took the precaution to mulch with wheat straw the naif acre sown with them. One-half the plat killed out nnd one-half lived, or say one-fourth of uu acre survived. The pro duct was seventeen bushels, or at the rate of sixty eight bushels per acre. The next fall I sowed an aero with seed of my own raising, without mulching. That was the last l saw of the oats; none ever lived to perfect seed, and I am not now sowing win ter oats. Of course they are the proper crop where nature intended them to grow, hut tropicnl or semi-tropicAl plants do not flourish profitably in northern latitudes, and it is safe to repeat that experiments with new and untried articles should be made cautiously and us inexpensively as possible."
