AGRICULTURAL. The Traffic in Oleomargarine Continues to Grow. SOME AGRICULTURAL NOTES. A Permanent Pasture an Essential Toward Successful Stoclc Growlng Etc. Tin milk pails are the best Milk the cows with dry hands. Arrange for plenty of pure water. Never change milkers when it can be avoided. , Bran will balance fodder better than corn meal as a milk ration. There is a close relation between pure water and fine, good-keeping dairy prod ucts. , When selecting a dairy sow look out for a hearty eater. She must eat if she milks well. Weeding out the poorest is the cheap est way of improving the record of a dairy herd. The flesh which indicates fair thrift also shows good feeding capacity, without which no cow is worth much. ' Commence this spring to improve your stock by selling off the common breeds and buying a lew thoroughbreds. ' Keep the lambs in clean quarters, and pive them clean food from clean troughs. Then they will keep healthy and thrive, but otherwise not. The sheep should not be sent to mar ket unless sufficiently fat. They do not bring paying prices, and help to depress the price of other people's sheep. , Grass roots derive their nourishment close to the surface. For that reason a top dressing of good manure upon the) timothv field will be qnickly productive of good results. Cater to the taste of your customer. If they want sweet-cream butter, fur nish it put up in the most perfect and attractive manner, and it should be sold and used at once. We cannot do much toward controlling the prices of agricultural products. Con sequently we should use every effort to economize production, as thereby wo may add to the profit. Barley straw is a stock feed that Is not sufficiently known and valued in the . East, although used extensively in Call- fornia. It is an excellent dependence for the winter feeding of sheep. ' ' Make np your mind this year that your corn fodder is a valuable crop, and that von will take as good care of it as of tho grain. In this way von can make corn growing pay better than it baa in tho past. ; . A soil well prepared prior to planting, sound seed, clean and level culture these are the things that bring good po tato crops. Where all these are observed and tne bugs kept off them is not often a serious failure. ' Tho ewes should now have some suc culent food regularly. If you have nei ther roots nor good ensilage, bran will be the best substitute. Hay and grain alone are apt to produce costivenesa, which is especially to be avoided. , The expenses attending upon market ing farm products often seriously dimin ish tha n unfits. Good roads and oood teams would help to remedy this, and often farmers could work together to ad vantage in hauling and shipping their crops. . ,. ,' Farmers everywhere just now are anx ious to grow more hogs. We all know what the result of this will be. A few wise men are giving; instead renewed ef forts toward producing good sheep and cattle. They are working in the right direction. ' .. . .' ' Keen well in mind the fact that by in creasing the yield per acre yon lessen the cost of production. You do not have to donble the crop to double the profit, as is the case where you donble the amount of the land in order to accom plish the same result. A permanent pasture is an essential toward successful stock-growing. ' This cannot be secured by any haphazard method, out is tne result omy 01 ueumie care and foresight. A rough field cov ered with weeds and thistles does not constitute a good pasture. It is a waste of time and monev to fer tilize heavily or to cultivate thoroughly land whose first and greatest need is drainage. Apply your tinw and money to remedy that, and it will bring the best return. The intensive cultivation may then follow to advantage. The traffic in oleomargarine continues to grow in spite of all legal efforts to cur tail it. If dairymen would make an tneir butter so that it was superior to the best oleo, the latter would soon be driven from the market. So much poor butter increases the demand for the substitute. ASKBI0US BVTL. There is a serious and growing evil In this country, says John Gould in Prac tical Farmer, that is charged to thedairy men, and vet is as distinct from dairying and to be blamed as little upon them as the butterine business and that is the making of filled cheese. A filled cheese is nothing more or less than a cheese made with pure skim milk, and in place of the natural butter fats substituting for them some kind of neutral oil, and bears the same relation to a prime cheese as butterine does to pure cow butter, as butterine is one-fourth good butter and three-fourths animal fats. The effect ia the same in either case, for both are thrust npon the market as genuine, and the profits of the sale depends largely npon how pesfect this deception can be carried ottt. While the dairymen are up in arms about fraud butter, little is saul about filled cheese something in its way not a whit behind the other m Its damaging effects upon the sale of good dairy produce. There is a work of re form for the farmers to take np in regard to this, and while one may plead for bet ter cows, cheaper feed and finer produce, so long as dairymen will sell milk to these filled-cheese concerns or join in what thev call a better return in money for their milk the time will soon come when disaster will overtake this whole filled business, and then by the hard logic of events the reaction must be njt and the path of honesty taken.
