Money Invested in the Dairy Business. DOUBLE THAT OF BANKING. Yearly Yield of Milk of the Average Cow The Number of Men Employed. The American Anahil eay there tre $2,000,500,000 invested in the dairy bust ness of this country. That amount 11 almost double tlie money InveHted in banking and commercial industries. It ia estimated that it requires 15,000,000 cows to supply tbo demand for milk and it product in the United States. To feed these cows 60,000,000 acres 01 land are under cultivation. The agricultural and dairv machine implenienUare wonh $L'00,0,X),bOO. The men employed in the business number 70,000, and the hnn.pi are over l,00o,0iK). There areover l:ouo,. 000 horees all told. The cows and hories annually commute 30,000,0 M) puis of hav and nearly 00,000.000 bushels of corn meal, 2.75.0O0 bushels of oa s, 2,0uo,ooo biisheisof bran and 3,1,000,000 buheli of corn, to say nothing of the brewery grain, sprouts and other questionable feed of various kinds that are to a great extent used. It costs $450,0'K),000 to feed these cows and horses. The aver age price paid to the laborers neceiHary in the dairy business is probably $20 per month, amounting to $18l),000,tHX) a veur. The average cow yields about 450 galloni Of milk a vear, which gives a total prod uct of 0,750,000,(100 gallons. Tweve cents a gallon is a fair price to estimate the value of milk at a total return to the dairy farmer of $810,000,0(10, if they sold all the milk as milk. But 6 per cent, of their milk is made into cheeee and butter. It takes twenty-seven pounds of milk to make one pound of butter, and ten pound to make one pound ol cheese. There is the same amount of albuminoids in eight and one-half pounds of milk as there is in one pound of beef. A fat steer furnishes 50 per cent, of bone less beef, but it would require 24,000,000 steers, weighing 1,500 pounds each, to produce the same amount of nutritioa as the annual milk product does. Wintering Horses and Cows. The American Cultivator.) In many places, especially near cities, farmers have more calls to winter favor ite horses than they can attend to. It does not seem to be understood that the keep of a horse near a city or large vil lage i worth mnch more than it ia at a greater distance. When such horse g are sent into the country ten to fifteen mile from any station, they can be kept very cheaply, as low as $1 a week and from that up to $2 or $2 53, according to feed and care given. At $1 a week the animal will probably be turned to the straw stack, with only a little hay per day and no grain. In that way it will need or ratner get no care excepting the dailr hay ration. It will not be in very good condition in the spring. We have often thought when we have seen farmers thus wintering stock whether they could not dispose of surplus grain and hay by purchasing thrifty animals and making all they gained or produced during the winter. It is here that the extra value and cost of boarding horses near a city comes in. What will keep a hort-e in good order will support a milch cow. Her milk ran usually be sold, if near the city, to milkmen for much more than the horse owner is willing to pay. The cow. if properly fed, will make as much and as valuable manure. There is onlv the extra labor of milking to be considered in estimating the difference between the two. Faints fur Farm Buildings. Country (icntleman A durable whitewash for barns and outhouses is made by adding to half a bushel of quicklime, slacked, two pounds of sulphate of zinc, one pound of com mon salt. To make a cream color, add three pounds yellow ocherf for gray, four pounds raw umber and two pounds lampblack; for fawn, four pounds u lit he r, one pound Indian red, one pound lampblack. Of course no wash will equal an oil. The cheapest would be crude petroleum, which enters the pores of the wood. It is not a paint, but may be mixed as high as one-third with com mon oil paints. A correspondent a fe years ago painted his farm buildings with Venetian red and petroleum, first coat; then red and boiled oil, second coat. The petroleum had one-half pound resin to the gallon. Cost of thus cover ing 15,000 square feet was $72. Thinks it will be good for fifteen years. Turnips an Exhauntlv Crop. It is not likely that any one will at tempt to grow turnips as treen manure exclusively. They are an exhaustive crop, and draw heavily on the nitrates and mineral elements of the soil. But when turnips are grown for market a good many remain after the bulk of the crop has been gathered. If these are plowed under, they will rot and furnish a fertilizer one-half as valuable by its weight as green clover. Considering how quickly the turnip grows.it mav not be a bad plan to sow some early in the spring, sell early, while the price is a paying one, what can be gathered then, and plow the remainder nnder in time for cabbage, celery or some late crop. Clover Seed. An experiment made by Prof. Menke with clover seed assorted according to color, as green, yellow, light brown, brown, dark brown and black, showed that the few plant that came from the green seeds were very prolific, tlie yellow nearly all germinated and grew well, and the light brown nearly but not quite so well, while with the others the darker the color the less the value of the seed. Thus farmers can judge the value of the seed ottered them by the color. It is reported at Wilkeabarre.
