Arguments In Favor of Deep Prepara tion of the Soil for 'these Cropm The idea is current with the avefage fanner that the roots of oata and wheat are superficial, and that it is useless to break the ground deeper than is neces eary to plow in the seeds and fertilizers, if any of the latter are applied. This isJJ an erroneous conclusion, as we will en deavor to show, writes a Texas farmer to The Southern Cultivator. He con tinues: The quantity of roots attached to a plant are far greater than can be observed by merely lifting them from the soil. Shubert made an experiment as follows: An excavation was mado in the field to the depth of six feet, and a stream of water was directed against the vertical wall of soil until it was washed away, so that the roots of plants growing in it were laid bare. The roots thus exposed in a field of oats presented the appearance of a mat or felt of white fibers to a depth of four feet below the surface of the ground. The roots of winter wheat he observed as deep as seven feet, in a light subsoil, forty-seven days after sowing. The quantity of roots in per cent, of the entire plant in the dry state was found to be as follows: Winter wheat examined last of April.40 perct. Winter wheat examined last of May.. 23 perct. Winter rye examined last of April. . . .51 per ct. The quality of the 6oil influenced the aggregate yield of roots. In a rich por- ous garden soil, which is usually deeply i broken up, often uniformly spaded and J well supplied with vegetable matter, a j barley plant produced 128 feet of roots; j in a heavier compact subsoil a similar , plant yielded only eighty feet of roots, j It is evident, therefore, how necessary it j is that the plant should have an abun-! dance of room in which to spread out and , jextend its roots. Incited by a knowledge pf these principles, early in December, j 1800, I prepared my soil for seeding oats ( by breaking up as deeply as large heavy j mules could pull diamond pointed scooter j plows 14 inches long and about Z wide, having previously spread broadcast twenty bushels of green cotton seed and 100 pounds of acid phosphate lime per j acre. I wo bushels of oats per acre were plowed under with a turning plow, commencing Dec. 17. Tho surface was then dragged over with a heavy brush. . There was a uniformly good stand, and tho oats grew without interruption from . the start to full maturity. The long dry spell in April and May did not retard its growth, and it attained to a height of from four to five feet, matured full heavy grains with heads sixteen inches long. 1 did not thrash them out, as I was short of long forage, and fed them after cut-1 ting up the entire plant with an oats cut ter. Good judges estimated the yield to be forty bushels per acre. This was not phenomenal, but remarkable when com pared with the average product of the neighborhood, which did not exceed twelve bushels per acre. One of my neigh- Ws; wit.li mr.rn thun ,irr.vi ti, m9hr i of cotton seed per acre, one-third moro ! of oat seed, and sowed six weeks earlier, ; made at' least one-third less than mine, when the soil was not broken up previ-i ously to the sowing of seed. One characteristic of my oats was the uniform and uninterrupted growth of the plant during the long dry spell of April and Hay, when the oats of the .country in general were atrophied and dwarfed,, with almost a failure in the ultimate production. I will remark . that my land is characterized by a su- i perficial sandy loam three or four inches i deep, supported by a rich tenacious clay ; substratum from six to eight feet thick, i the whnlfl TAfit.inir nrwyn n lvwl nf lima- ! stone. In sandy soils, with no clay within five or ten feet from the surface, it is hardly necessary to remark that subsoiling would be detrimental rather than beneficial, as 1 have satisfactorily proved. , - Pruning In Winter. Trees of hardy kinds may be safely pruned - in winter if but a moderate amount is to be cut away. Heavy prun ing renders a tree tender and more liable to injury or check in growth if followed by intense cold, but it rarely happens that such severe pruning is required. If the operator always has a distinct and definite object in view, he need not cut away a single shoot unless needed. A bearing .tree may have too thick a head and want a slight . thinning, or a small crooked branch may be in the way, rer quiring only clipping with a pocket knife. There is a special advantage in doing the work now all the branches and shape of the head may be easily seen while the leaves are off. When the owner of an orchard has to give the business to a hired hand, he may avoid all danger of having the work wrongly done by marking with a piece of chalk the place where he wants the pocket knife or light saw to do the cutting. Very little cutting need thus be made and no mutilation. "A modification or improvement may be made at any time in winter if the weather happens to be too cold or hands scarce for doing the labor till spring. Take a small brush or pencil, with white paint, pass ' through the orchard, and wherever a branch is to be pruned mark with the brush a white line where the cut is to be made. Direct the operator to cut . nowhere but on this line. The -chalk would be washed off by rain; the streak of white paint will remain for months. The piece of chalk may be at tached to the end of a rod or pole and be used to reach any part of the tree; and, Lf desired, the owner may pass through his orchard on horseback and rapidly mark as many trees in an hour as the operator will prune in a day. Country Gentleman. A heavy fall of enovr may break the' limbs of evergreens and other trees. It may be primitive but there is no better way of dislodging the snow than striking: the branches with a pole. THE LARGEST CREAMERY. Seven Hundred Farmers Supply It with Cream Daily. Probably the largest creamery in the world is that at St. Albans, Vt. The building itself is three stories high, with 9,000 feet of floor room. In the cellar is the boiler, a forty horse power engine, and the tanks for buttermilk. The first 'floor is the factory proper, in which the : cream is received and pumped up to the story abmre. where are ten tanks hold ing COO gall&sach, and where are also the testing rooms,' offices, etc. It is re turned again toHhe first floor to be churned, worked ar packed as butter into tubs. The third story is used as a storage room for tubsT salt and other, equipments. m All cream received is tested frequent ly enough to obtain a thorough knowl edge of the amount of butter fat in the average products of the farmer's dairy, and he is credited not only with so many pounds of cream, but also with its butter value. The average of butter fat is less than 4 per cent., but the extremes are 8.23 and 4.75. The milk is not brought to the creamery, but is received at forty-four stations located at various points within twenty-six miles of St. Albans, and there the cream is separated and shipped in special cars to the cream ery. About 700 farmers with 12,000 cows are now supplying the cream for the factory, and the average daily product is 10,000 pounds, but it is gaining patrons each month, and they hope to reach their full capacity of 20,000 pounds daily. They run ten churns, each of which will churn 500 pounds of butter at a time, and four butter workers, upon which eighty pounds can be worked and Baited in a very few minutes. It takes a carload of salt every two months, and the business keeps eixty hands employed, The proprietors claim that they have a demand for even more butter than they will be able to make when running to the full capacity, and at prices which are very satisfactory, although they were organized less than a year ago, or in October, 1890, and commenced busi- ness in November. American' Culti- vator. Dairying In the United States. The men employed in the business number 750,000 and the horses are over 1,000,000. There are over 12,000,000 horses all told. The cows and horses annually con sume 80,000,000 tons of hay and nearly 90,000,000 bushels of cornmeal, about the same amount of oatmeal, 275.000,000 bushels of oats, 2,000,000 bushel of bran nd 80,000,000 bushels of corn, to say nothing of the brewery grains, sprouts ; ana otner questionable reeu of various kinds that are used to a great extent. It costs $450,000,000 to feed these cows and horses. The average price paid to the laborers necessary in the dairy business is? Probauy twenty dollars a month, amounting to $180,000,000 a year. . Tbe average cow yields about 450 gal- Ions of milk a year, which gives a total product of 6,750,000,000 gallons. Twelve cents a gallon is a fair price to estimate the value of milk at, a total return to the dairy fanners of 810.000,000, if they sold all the milk as milk. But 50 per cent, of their milk is made into cheese and butter. It takes twenty-seven pounds of milk to make one pound of butter, and abut ten pounds to make one pound of cheese. There is the same amount of albuminoids in 8i pounds of milk as tner0 is in one pound of beef. A fat Bteer furnishes 50 per cent, of boneless UCCJ-i Steers but it would require 24,000,000 weighing 1,500 pounds each, to produce the same amount of nutrition as the annual milk product does. Amer ican Analyst. Notes. How can a cow have the "milk and beef form?" It requires 15,000,000 cows to supply this United Statea with milk, cheese and butter.. One of the best after dinner cheeses is the strong, rich Edam, which is now made in America. The live stock and dairy business, and even farming, is now carried on by com binations of proprietors. ' Two billion dollars are invested in the dairy business of this country. This is almost twice as much money as is in vested in manufacturing and commercial interests. The dairyman who does not breed his own cows, but merely buys fresh ones and sells them when they go dry, buying other fresh ones in their place, will need to be a good judge of a dairy cow. The story is going the rounds again about a large snake which was found milking a cow. What was the cow do ing while the snake was milking her, and how did the snake reach the cow's udder? Did it stand upon its tail? A feeding experiment at the Maine agricultural station shows that it costs only eleven dollars a year more to feed a 1.200 pound Holstein cow than to feed a 900 pound Jersey; but this by no means determines the relative value of the two animals. Will the Holstein's carcass dressed for beef sell for eleven dollars more, than the Jersey's? And during the year which cow's milk and butter was worth most? In the province of Ontario a number of creameries have combined into a great syndicate, and the result is im proved methods of ' butter and cheese making. In spite of the opposition to syndicates they seem to be making their way into popular favor in the teeth of all opposition in every line of business. Certainly, when all the creamery men work together and at the same time re gard the public as their friend, and not as a common prey to be devoured, it will be far better than when .each man's hand is against his neighbor in the same occupation, - MiLLiONAir.E'S lho. ilasiziCKS of Kalsing Eiroiler for a Vandcrbilt's Table. In the first yard were a lot of HoQ-' dans, a French breed liked by Mr. Van derbilt, although Mr. Heidtmann does hot think so much of them. They are very handsome and gracef ul have large black and white spots on their feathers, and big topknots, colored similarly. In the next yard were brown Leghorns.. beyond those white Leghorns and in the fourth yard Plymouth Rocks. Adjoining the feedroom is the incubating room, the most interesting of alL This room contains double and two single incu bators, having a united capacity of 1,800 eggs. The incubators are of the latest pat tern, those formerly used by Mr Heidt mann having been discarded. Every possible care is used to make the ma chines successful. Mr. Heidtmann has added a number of devices of his own to guard against possible failure. The saf ty valves are delicately poised to regu late the heat in the incubators, which must not be more than 103 degs. nor less than 101 degs. The same system of heat ing by hot water pipe3 is used in them. the neat tor the boiler coming from a large, common lamp. In order to pro vide against unforeseen occurrences an alarm bell is attached to the Jaaating pipe. Delicate rods act on anactr1W bell, which rings in the building during the day and in Mr. Heidtmann's house at night.. The brooders are arranged so that the newly hatched chickens go into the one occumefl by those described. As they growlder and stronger they are moved along until they are big enough to shift for themselves, when they fall victims to Mr. Vanderbilt's liking for tender broilers. The temperature in the first brooder is kept at about 88 degs., and it descends gradually in the others. The heat is supplied by hot water pipes, which run above the heads of the chick ens. In apme brooders the heat comes from below, but Mr. Heidtmann says that it weakens the chickens' legs and keeps them small. "In order to give the flesh flavor and firmness," he said, "chickens must be brought up quickly. If they are not well fed and nourished they will grow slowly and become tough." Back of each brooder is an exact copy of the sun parlor in use at winter resort hotels. The parlor is small, made of glass and iron, and the floor is strewn with coarser sand than that in the brooders. There are half as many par lors as brooders. Beyond these are still larger sun parlors of the same kind, with ordinary sand and pebbles on the floor. Still farther back are open yards seventy-five feet in depth. On warm days the strong young chickens are out either in tho sun parlors or the open yards. Some of the bigger chicks in the last brooders were running about their parlors on tho day of visitation. There are cooler brooders in the feedroom, but they are not in use now. The doors in the brooders leading to the sun par lors are controlled by cords. Every pre caution is observed to avoid frightening the chickens. ; Workmen are busy constructing " a brick cottage, in which Mr. Heidtmann will live. On the other side of this cot tage dredgers are making a canal for the white ducks that Mr. Vanderbilt will raise. The dredgers have been at work for three yeara, for the canal is long, reaching to the bay. A circular duck pond has been built. Mr. Vander bilt prefers the White Pekings, Mr. Heidtmann said, although he now has some Roucns. "Wo now have about forty ducks," ha Baid, "and about 700 chickens, By next ' season we will have from 1 200 to 1 500 chickens. Mr. VanderbUt says ho never ate as gooa Droiiers as those we raise here. Monte Carlo is famous for good eating, but ho says even there the chick ens don't have flavor like ours." New York Sun. Live Stock Points. Comparing the eastern horso with tho broncho of the 'wild west a correspondent of The Stock Growers' Journal writes: "Onr Montana broncho enjoys it when he sees snow on his back; he runs and plays, mane and tail erect, while the eastern horse stands all humped np and chilled most to death." The village blacksmith may be a poet ical creature, as Longfellow found him, but in nine cases out of ten he knows no more about the true way of shoeing a horse than a hypocrite knows of tho road to heaven. Most of the diseases that affect horses' feet have come from bad shoeing. Let your horses in the country run barefoot a good part of the year. Man would never have had corns if he had never worn shoes. If he could go barefoot now through the summer bis corns would disappear. As with men, so with horses. Live stock standards are advancing steadily. Keep your eye open constant ly for improvements or you will get left. If your corncribs threaten to burst or topple over with the. weight of corn, feed some of it to the cattle you are wintering over. Cattle, horses, sheep and wool in Mon tana this year brought into the state nearly $15,000,000. Good for the young mountain state 1 Home bred draft horses are now hav ing their day in America. They are de scended from the original importations, but the breeds have adapted themselves to the United States. This is especially true of the lighter draft horses. In feeding pigs here is a good rule to remember: One bushel of 'corn is worth two. bushels of oats for fattening. One bushel of oats is worth two bushels of corn for making bone and muscle. The Illinois legislature set aside $40, 000 for the encouragement of live stock interests at the World's fair- A Boy's Method of Avoiding Bad Dreami. A friend has told us that during a long period of his childhood he maintained the habit of praying every night before going to sleep that no bad dreams might trouble him, acting in curious, unthink ing coincidence with good old Bishop Ken, who generations ago resorted to the same expedient. To further his prayers the little boy, in a spirit of phi losophy beyond his years, would try to concentrate his ideas on all the most humdrum things he could think of, bis thoughts usually settling on the figure of an old Welsh landlord, a small man with a brown wig, whom he had oc casionally; visited with his father, and who, to his childish fancy, appeared the very personification of commonplaces-Argosy.
