Advance In Dairy Inc.
T is true that the
dairy schools are
doing much for dai-
rying. It is true
that the agricultur-
al papers, and insti-
tutes, and speakers,
and writers, are do-
ing mueh for dairy-
ing. It is also true
that many dairy-
men have become
progressive and are doing much by
their example for dairying. Neverthe-
less, advance in dairying Is slow, very
slow. And why should it not be? The
advance is counted not by what a few
do, but by the average of what all are
doing. Dairying is a thing that must
be dealt with in its parts and not in
its whole. Every man and every wo-
man that milks a cow or makes butter
is a part of that whole and each part
must be dealt with separately. The ad-
vance is more talked about than real,
when speaking of the whole. The dirty
dairyman has not by any means yet
been eliminated. The ignorant feeder
and butter-maker are still in evidence.
The dairyman who cares little about
the condition of the goods at delivery
is still a great factor. All of these
must be reformed, and the work is
slow. It is astonishing to find how nu-
merous are the farmers that neither
take papers nor attend institutes.
These are the ones that it is most dif-
ficult to reach. They imagine that they
comprise in themselves all knowledge
in the lines in which they are work-
ing.
For these reasons dairy advance
must continue to be the result of con-
stant preacning of what some call the
dairy gospel of good cows, good but-
ter.-makers and cleanly habits. Prob-
ably there is no better way to reach
the common cow owner than the neigh-
borhood meeting. Farmers, especially
if neighbors, can say things that will
be listened to, when if a stranger
(often called book farmers) were to
^lve the same advice it would be re-
jected. We feel that every reader of
this column has a personal work to do
in this line. If it be possible to call
small meeting of farmers for such dis-
cussions, let it be done by all means.
Start the ball rolling. Like the little
ball in the snow, it will become great-
er as it rolls. A multitude of these
meetings should be held all over the
country, and the work of reformation
started at the bottom. Strike first at
the dirt. That is the greatest and most
uncompromising enemy of the dairy-
man. Then strike at the poor cow. She
is a stumbling block that makes many
to offend. If these two points can be
impressed—cleanliness and good cows
—the reform will have been well be-
gun.
But some will say, "Why, the farmers
already know these things!" Perhaps
so, but they do not realize them. Some-
times people know things and allow
conditions to go on for years, but sud-
denly something starts them to think-
ing of them hard, and they wake up.
The wake-up is usually followed by ac-
tion. This is the case with dairying.
Men don't stop to think, at least, do
not think in a way that results in ac-
tion. The days are coming when the
same number of cows tbat are kept
now will give double the amount of
milk and butter that they do now. The
time is coming when the science of
making butter will be so generally dif-
fused that all the product will be twice
as valuable as now (not necessarily
twice as expensive to the consumer),
but the dairymen will be the gainers
in the cost of keeping the number of
cows indicated. Dairy advance is at
present largely confined to neighbor-
hoods, which is a hopeful sign. It
shows what influence will do, e8pe-
cially the influence of neighbors. Let
every man put his shoulder to the
wheel.
effect that arises from no management
at all.
The practical part of poultry business
is where the attention must be be-
stowed. Get the women interested;
give them good quartets for their
fowls; help them, if necessary, to keep
them in good order, giving them the
proceeds for their pin money, and, with
their constant care, that part of the
question will be solved. If your poul-
try house is not warm, make it so, to
protect your hens and chicks from cold,
damp winds. Have it on a dry hill-
side, facing the south or east, if you
can, giving the fowls the advantage of
the warmth of the sun in winter. Ar-
range it so that it can be thoroughly
ventilated at all times. Have a hard
floor, covered two inches deep with fine
gravel, so the droppings can be easily
taken up. The perches should be
smooth and not too high, with just as
little "riggin" about them and the nest
boxes as possible. Everything should
be movable, so the whitewash brush
can be easily applied on all sides.
Change the nests often. A few drops
of crude carbolic acid in the white-
wash, for the perches and nest boxes,
will be found a good preventive for ver-
min. Vigilance is the watchword. The
comb is always an index to the condi-
tion of the fowl. Look at your hens
every day; see that they are healthy,
and keep them so. A good warm mess
of potato parings and scraps from the
kitchen, all boiled up together, season-
ed so it Is palatable, and thickened with
bran and a little corn meal, is much
relished, and excellent for them in
the morning; occasionally may be
given a tonic of cayenne pepper, but
not too much. The remainder of the
day feed whole grain as they need it.
A box well filled with old plastering,
oyster shells and charcoal, with a lit-
tle pounded up fresh every morning
for them to pick at, is of great advant-
age. I find nothing better to keep
them healthy than plenty of broken
charcoal. The short cut grass from
the lawn during the summer, clean and
nicely dried in the shade, is greatly
relished by them in winter, when de-
prived of their natural supply of green
feed. Whether In or out of confine-
ment, they must have meat food In
some form—the hens demand it to pro-
duce eggs in abundance, which they
will not fail to do, if fed a little every
day, when they can not have access to
their natural supply of bugs and
worms. It is better to give It to them
raw, as nature supplies them. A hen
is a machine. Give her plenty of the
rough material, and she'll return you
a nicely formed egg,which no mechanic
can duplicate.
Feed regularly, and especially the
young chicks. There is no kind of
stock which appreciates regularity in
feeding more than poultry, and those
who practice it are sure to find that
it pays. Habit has been truly said to
be second nature, and all kinds of ani-
mal life appreciate the fact. Certain
hours should be set apart for feeding
the fowls, say seven in the morning
and six in the evening, and it will not
be long before they will come together
on the approach of the feeding hour,
and eagerly look for their regular ra-
tions. Regular feeding is beneficial
alike for those in confinement and
those which have their liberty, for it
induces the latter to return home at a
certain hour, and thus prevents losses
which would otherwise occur. On the
farm, where poultry is seldom, if ever,
confined, regular daily feed, especially
in the evening, should be adhered to,
and this is with turkeys an absolute
necessity, as their predatory habits
would lead them so far away that they
would form habits of staying.
Care of Poultry.
It seems to me there is not much
new to be said about poultry raising,
especially if one has read the poultry
papers, one of which every farmer
ought to take. It is the oft-repeated
story, but if I tell it again perhaps
some one will be benefited by it. Poul-
try raising in this country has become
an extensive business, and is growing
more in importance every year. He
who raises the best fowls of any good
breed, for market, for breeding, or for
exhibition purposes, will not only make
his mark as a breeder, but will be look-
ed upon by fanciers as one who dis-
plays good judgment in fowl culture
We Americans generally look at every-
thing from a financial standpoint.
Our first question is, "Will it pay?"
That depends altogether on the man-
agement. The secret of success is sim-
ply doing what you can do well. Cer-
tainly, what is worth doing at all is
worth doing well. Now, if we begin
with that idea, and a natural love for
poultry, we are sure of success. The
poultry yard can be managed so that
it may become one of the most remun-
erative portions of the farm. With a
little thought, and a trifle more ex-
pense, it is as easy to raise finely bred
fowls as those of a common order, and
the effect is far more pleasing. He
who wishes to improve his stock from
year to year, must be continually
weeding out the imperfect birds, and
breeding only from those which show
the desirable qualities. If farmers
would take as much pride in improving
their poultry as they do other stock,
their yards would not present such a
motley coloring of fowls. Symmetry is
altogether disregarded, and breeds are
crossed and recrosaed with just that
Feeding Oats.
Generally and with the larger pro-
portion of our crops we find it best to
haul up and feed out In the barn and
feed lots. In doing this so far as the
weather will admit we try to feed the
corn fodder and coarse fodders in the
feed lots, feeding the hay and straw in
the barn, says N. J. Shepherd in Ne-
braska Farmer. But it is often the
case that during the fall we will have
quite a long spell of pleasant weather
and the stock will do fully better dur-
ing the day running the pastures or
fields than in the close feed lots. We
find in many cases that it Is a good
plan to shelter at night, but to give a
full run during the day. In doing this
we find it some advantage to haul out
corn fodder and feed in the fields rather
than to haul everything to the barn
and feed out there and then be obliged
to gather up the manure and haul out.
While there is hardly any question but
that there is some loss in feeding by
scattering feed upon the ground and
that the manure will not be scattered
as evenly as would ordinarily be done
when thrown from a wagon. But gen-
erally there is a considerable saving
in time and hauling, so much so that
it will more than overbalance the loss.
In doing this, however, care must be
taken not to continue the practice so
long that the stock are exposed to cold
or storms, or it is a good plan to feed
out in the fields when the ground is so
soft that the stock will tramp it up.
But by avoiding extremes the labor
may be lessened and time is often an
item on the farm.
The Hog Wanted.—A correspondent
of the Country Gentleman says: We
want more size, bone and stamina, bet-
ter feeding qualities, more fecundity,
and the bacon type of hog, and we
want these things associated with good
breeding qualities, good development
at a somewhat early age, easy keeping
qualities and, above all, docility. How
shall we get what is wanted? Theo-
dore Lewis of Wisconsin answers the
question thus; "Do Just as I have done
—get the best sows you can within the
limit of your means, but do not buy
some half-starved, ill-bred animal that
is closely related to the razorback.
Get something that shows better
breeding, and have them served by the
best boar in the neighborhood. Take
the best care of them, and let ingenui-
ty be your guide in the construction of
shelter of whatever kind. Feed freely
and at regular hours. Never carry
mare than you can feed liberally.
F*fct-Run | ed Sheep.
"The fat-rumped sheep," says Dr.
Anderson, "resemble one aoother by
having—particularly the malts—a solid
mass of fat formed upon the rump, di-
vided, as it were, into two hemispheres,
which take the form of the hips, with
a little knob of a tail in the middle.
Some of them have horns, but others
do not. Its covering is a mixture of
hair and wool. Some of the breeds
weigh as much as 200 pounds, and the
mass of fat formed 011 the rump va-
ries from a tenth to a fifth part of the
entire weight. In the neighborhood of
Caucasus, the hind quarters are salted
as hams and sent in large quantities
to the northern part of Turkey. It has
been supposed by some writers that
this breed may be the same as that
which was bred by the Patriarchs, in
the days of Abraham and Moses. The
sacred penman mentions that Moses
took the fat and the rump, and all the
fat which was upon the Inwards, and
burned them upon the altar for a burnt
offering. This breed is found in its
purest state in the deserts of Great
Tartary, no other variety being near
to contaminate its blood. It reaches
far into the interior and northern parts
of Russia, and is much disseminated in
China, Persia, Hindostan, Asia Minor
and Eastern Africa as well as Thibet.
In Palestine it is more numerous than
any other breed; Indeed the largest
proportion of the sheep of Northern
Asia being of this description. Profes-
sor Pallas conjectures that this charac-
ter arises in the fat-rumped sheep from
their feeding upon the bitter and sa-
line plants found upon the borders of
the Caspian and Black seas. And he
asserts that when they are removed
from the places where these plants
grow the fatty excrescence becomes
less. But Canfield says, as the fat-
rumped and fat-tailed sheep are varie-
ties which are widely dispersed, it
seems more probable that they may
have been produced by accident, and
may also have been perpetuated by
accident, design or fancy. The fat-
tailed sheep are very extensively dif-
fused; it is found throughout A3ia and
a great part of Africa, as well as
through the northern parts of Europe.
They differ, like other sheep, in the
nature of their covering. In Madagas-
car, and in some other hot climates,
they are covered with hair; at the Cape
of Good Hope they are covered with
coarse wool; in the Levant their wool
is extremely fine. The proportion
which the weight of the tail in some
of these sheep bears to the whole car-
cass is quite remarkable. The usual
dressed weight of the sheep is from
fifty to sixty pounds, of which the tail
is said to make more than one-fourth
part. Russel describes two breeds of
fat-tailed sheep about Aleppo; in one
the deposit of caudal fat is moderate;
in the other sort the tail is much larg-
er. The unctuous fat of the tails of
these sheep is accounted a great deli-
cacy alike by the Boers and the Hotten-
tots of Southern Africa. The Hotten-
tots, in their primitive condition, pos-
sessed Immense flocks and pursued the
pastoral arts with great success.
Alfalfa for Cows.
Alfalfa silage compares well in chem-
ical composition with clover and sim-
ilar forms of silage. It is said to usually
have a disagreeable odor and taste, al-
though it is freely eaten by cattle. No
experiments iu the use of alfalfa sil-
age have been made at this station. The
green fodder has been in such continual
demand for feeding that not enough
has been available at any time to fill
a silo. Alfalfa, like clover, would re-
quire a most careful packing and a
greater depth of silo for best results
than is necessary for corn. Alfalfa hay
is an excellent fodder. It is palatable
and very nutritious. Experience and
good judgment are required, and
much time and care necessary to make
good hay. If handled too much when
dry all the leaves and small stems are
likely to fall off, and if not thoroughly-
cured it is likely to mould and mildew.
The hay will not shed water well, and
stacks when left long should be well
covered. Hay caps are often of great
service. The hay suffers much deter-
ioration in feeding value by exposure
to rain.—New York Experiment Sta-
tion.
Wide Tire Legislation.
The extent to which the value of
wide tires has come to be recognized is
shown by the fact that during the last
twelve months the legislature of near-
ly every state has been asked to pass a
bill providing for their compulsory
adoption. The state of New Jersey has
already adopted a law of this kind, and
It is reaping the benefit in the country.
With wide tires in use, even the pres-
ent country roads will improve; for
such tires serve as rollers to make the
roadbed compact instead of cutting
deep ruts as do heavily loaded wagons
on narrow tires.—Ex.
A Connecticut Law.—The state of
Connecticut has passed a law making
it illegal to press "tub butter" into
"bricks, pats or balls," unless the same
shall be stamped with the words "tub
butter" or have the wrappers printed
with the same words. There seems to
be no end to the foolish things legisla-
tors will do, says the New York Prod-
uce Review.
