mm THE DAIRY
FARM PROFITABLE.
We notice In several of our eastern
agricultural exvhances that there Is a
avod deal of discussion twins had on
this Important question, says lloard's
Dairyman. A uutuber of dairy fann
ers declare that It Is Impossible for
them to make their herd and farm pay
anything like a fair profit, so they ex
press the determination to sell off their
cows and eugu-e in some other branch
of farming.
We are not here to sny that they are
making a mistake, but we wish to say
that there Is a great difference in the
Ideas and policies practiced on these
extreme eastern dairy farms and those
In the dairy districts of Wisconsin, for
Instance, That difference is perhaps
well defined by saying that on the
apeeiaUxed dairy farm of the east the
principal reliance is from the milk
alone. You w ill find but rery few
young cattle or bops kept on these
farms. The drnlnase Is altojcether out '
of one spout the milk spout It Is
needless to say that that kiud of farm
ing does not make a skillful live stock '
farmer; neither does It institute a sys-1
tern for the raising of laqre quantities '
f corn, clover and alfalfa which are
the - best kinds of roughage and on
which the young cattle aud even hogs

The Brorn Swiss breed of dairy
cattle are nottii for strength of con
stitution and lack of nervous fidg
ets, which accounts for their wear
ing qualities. At eleven or twelve
years of age a Brown Swiss cow is
in her prime. They carry a fair
amount of flesh and have great ca
pacity for producing milk and but
ter fat They are heavy for dairy
cattle, an average herd of cows in
milking condition will weigh from
1.300 to tftO pounds. Betty of Al

will thrive exceedingly welt The Wis
consin dairy farmer has built up a
wide demand for his grade Holstein
and Guernsey cows and heifers. Here
Is a source of revenue that Is closely
akin to that of steer raising with the
double advantage of the milk after the
heifer is two years old.
Cause and Preventive Treatment of j
"Monday Morning. Sickness."
The technical name of "Monday
morning sickness'' Is "lymphangitis'
(Inflammation of the lymphatic ves-
selsi, and it ts one of those troublesome
aiiments which may be absolutely pre
vented by piier feeding and manage
ment of the horse, says Dr. A. S. Alex
ander In Farm and Kireside. It comes
from overfeeding with rich feed dur
ing times of idleness. The horse that
has been ierfect!y well during the
workdays of the week and on Satur
day night Is on Sunday qr some holi
day given his usual feed of corn and
oats and hay, but ts not taken out for
exercise.
On workdays the nutriments of the
ration are used np in labor. They go
to repair waste tissues, generate force
and heat the body. During idleness
sweatiug ceases and the muscles are
not exercised. Maximum nutrition,
therefore. Is unnecessary. The surplus
usually utilized by Combustion during
exercise overloads the lymphatics dur
ing idleness, and they become disteud-
ed, inflamed and painful.
uea mra occurs a nigh rever re

iu the region of the groin, and If the in
ner surface of the leg is haudled such
pain is caused that the horse lifts the
leg and shows every symptom of In

condition on Monday morning after the
Sunday's rest; hence the popular name
of the disease. Gradually the swelling

annually, while from the sale of cows
and heifers they receive about $700,
000. This combining dairying with
dairy stock breeding and raising makes
of the farmer a much better equipped
man all around, while it enhances his
profits. Most of the milk is handled
in creameries, and the sklmmilk prod
net with the abundant corn crops and I
alfalfa and clover, enables the farmer
to turn a line portr crop every year. j

Angers be as flat against the side of the
teat as possible. It is Just its eusy to
milk that way as auy and far more
agreeable to the cow.
Some men have a way of Jerking
down on the teats of the cow they are
milking every time they bring out a
stream. This is not at all necessary.
In fact the best milker will be the one
who holds his hands the most nearly in
the same position relative to tho tout

fortable, aud perhaps her bog may be j
permanently deformed.
One of the filthiest habits of a man I
ever contracted is that of wetting the :
teats of the cow he Is milking with j
milk before he begins. This, he fan- !
cies. makes the process of milking eas- j
ier. I have seen the hands of milkers
which fairly reeked with the discolored
milk as It oozed between their fingers. !
The man who does this Is not a tit hand
for work. More or less of the foul liquid
will get Into the pall and help to make
the milk Insanitary. Some cowa do
milk hard, but almost always there will
be some man who Is strong enough In
the hands to milk them without resort
ing to any such uncleanly habit as this.
finally, three words ought always to
be In the mind of every milker care

Washing Butter.
In winter the water for washing and
also the brine for salting should not
be below a temperature of 50 degrees
F. With regard to the quantity of
water to use, sufficient water should
be placed in the churn to thoroughly
float all the butter grains contained
therein. The butter will require two
or three washings. in order to remove
most of tile cheesy matter, which, If
allowed to remain In the butter, causes
the finished article to become bad.
When the water is quite clear and

TO BECOME A WISE FARMER.
In farming do not theorize, do
not philosophize too much. Live
the life of a farmer, keep in sym
pathetic touch with the plant
and animal life about you, and
the philosophy will take care of
itself. It Is astonishing how wise
a farmer can become who is will
ing to be taught by what he sees
ana experiences. But tills one
thing be must remember that
the deductions of science have
been obtained the same way. and
so It Is well to make friends of
these deductions. II oard's Dairy

How to Test Your Soil
Secure a small sample of soil free
from roots and grass and put It ln a
glass. Insert two strips of blue litmus
paper In the soil so that they are half
covered. Then add pure water very
earefully nntil the soil Is thoroughly
saturated. After the test has stood
for several minutes the paper la re
moved and riused thoroughly. If that
portion of It which was in contact with
the soil has become red. then the soil
Is acid and would lie benefited by llm

A circular of the Missouri experi

have been obtained by charring the

The posts must be thoroughly seasoned

the charring must extend at least six
inches almve ihe surface of the ground
