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.
