WILLAMETTE FARMER: PORTLAND, OREGON, JULY 28, 1882, I $raiW earlfiient. A GRAKQE BATTLE CRT. The following lines were composed by W. O. Rott, and read before Valley Grange, Bates county, Missouri: Wake up, you slumbering Granges; get up and ?o to work ; ounge about so idly, nor from your duty shirk. Your tools are getting rusty, your land is get ting foul; Why stand you all day idle, or lay around and growl? Your minds are also rusty, your tongues are parching dry. And you refuse to use them, this truth you can't deny. There is a mighty struggle, and we are bound to fight; Then let us form in order and battle for tho right. The battle cry is sounding, you hear its dread alarms, The land-sharks they are shouting well swal low up your farms. The railroads too, have bound us both hand and foot in chains, Because we'er not united they whip us with their brains. They rule our transportation, the Vanderbilts and the Goulds; They use us for their servants and Congress for their tools. The banks have got our Nation, they took it by surprise. With visions painted beauty they've dazzled all our eyes. The shining gold and silver they've laid in piles away, Instead of acting honest our bon 'ed debt to pay. They call it sweet resumption, but these its sweetest charms They rob us of our labor and steal away our farms. They also do enslave us and make the mil lionaire. Set honest men tramping, sink women into despair, To see their children starving and crying 'round for bread, In cold and stormy weather half-naked and half-fed. I turn in scorn and sorrow from these sad scenes away And leave you now to answer just how you think 'twill pay. Inflammation of the Feet In a Cow. The feet should be carefully examined for any nail or other foreign body, or for any point where the quick is exposed, or where a crack or breach between the sole and wall may admit dirt or gravel to it. In the absence of any such cause, it may bo due to continuous and high feeding on grain, with little exer cise. Give first one pound Glauber's salts and one ounce ground ginger, and follow this up with daily doses of half an ounce of saltpetre for a week or two. The tender feet should be placed in soft poultices or wet swabs, and kept so day and night, while oil of turpentine is rubbed daily on the skin, above the hoof, up to the fetlock or dew-claws. When the tenderness has been to some extent removed, remove the poultices, and smear daily with a mixture, in equal parts, of hne turpentine and tallow, still keeping up the turpentine and the saltpetre, with occasional intervals of a day or two. Ex. Linseed and Cotton-Seed Heal for Dairy Cows Linseed meal and cotton-seed meal are both often montioned in the same connection as valuable foods for dairy cows, leaving the im pression that they are alike in their effects. There is quite a difference between the two. Linseed meal is mild and laxative in its influ ence, and may be fed more freely to cows in milk, and sparingly before they come in, when their other food is not rich enough. Cotton-seed meal is more heating and stim ulating, and should be fed cautiously to cows in milk, and never before they come in. When there is not an active flow of milk, and also before- parturition, much cotton-seed meal tends to a thickening and inflammatory state of the udder, and leads to garget. It always requires more cautions feeding than oil meal. Ex. Goldsmith Maid! Goldsmith Maid is a very good illustration of what patience and perseverance will do in developing the speed of the trotting horse. If this mare had not fallen into the hands of one of the most accomplished trainers of modern times, she would have been given up, in all probability, and been abandoned in her early history, as possessed of on unconquerable dis position. If a less shilliul pilot had(held the lines over the Maid, her name would hare been consigned to oblivion, instead of appear ing upon the scroll of history as tho heroine over all trotters, from the Atlantic to the Pa cific, as a mare without an equal 'from the Eastern metropolis to the golden gates of Cal ifornia. It was skillful trainingthat modified the temper, developed the action of Goldsmith Maid, and converted her into the level headed trotter. Goldsmith Maid, from her excitable temper, indomitable ambition, or some other cause, was not brought on to the course till past eight years old. She remained on the course twelve years, and performed an astonishing amount of traveling and trotting that would have killed off any horse without an iron con stitution. She was campaigned through nearly every State in the Union, offering battle to the bravest champions that dared to oppose her march. She was campaigned oq the scorching sands of the South, in the cool breezes of the North, and on the vast prairies of the West, where she vanquished every competitor that had the courage to dispute her sovereign dominion over American trot ters. Her record of 2:14, emblazoned upon the tablets of the race-course, banished every trotter from her presence, anil she was com pelled to trot alone in public exhibitions, to beat her own time and gratify admiring crowds. It established a precedent that has come down as a legacy to Ranis, St Julien ! jfctoA. and Maud S. Goldsmith Maid won nearly every heat and every race iu her long and brilliant career a glorious career, unequalled for the amount of its earnings, and unprece dented for its triumph in the history of racing. Ex. Modes That Pay Best. The profits arising from the several pro ducts of the farm are not usually estimated with such care as to enable the farmer to say which particular source of income has been the best, on the score of net profit. Each day's duties, whether on or off tho farm, if paid for on the score of time, of course leave their own estimate when the day is ended. If the farmer and breeder routed upon any such basis for getting ahead iu the world, the balance sheet would make a ruinous showing at the end of the year. The profits in farming and stock growing are not usually counted up with precision, so that it may be known whether there is or is not any profit in a given undertaking. It is partially, but not entirely true that it is more difficult to keenataccnunts on the farm from which the same accurate conclusions may be arrived at as is possible in ordinary lines of trade. If a certain enclosure in pasture grass causes a given number of steers to gam a specified number of hundred pounds during the season, as shown by the scales, then it is not difficult to show by the figures what the income will be from the gross gain. If farm ers would adopt the plan of doing this, many of them wonlit see the magnitude of the' mis take made in keeping cattle that briug only three or fou- cents a pound, in place of such as bring six cents. The footings would stag ger a man who had never tested the difference by figuring up the outgo and the income on the two classes, side by side. The 8 line is true of all branches of stock groringand farming, and the Journal repeats what it has urged before, that a strict sys tem of accounts is necessary on the farm. Why Do Bees Swarm? A correspondent of the Calitornia ApicuU turist furnishes the following interesting arti cles on swarming : We are very busy going through the apiary now, clipping queens' wings, taking down queen cells and taking the heads off of drones, and particularly making note of the subject of worms, to see if those that are purest Ital ians are most exempt, but so far I am not sure that it is tho case, except so far as they are stronger with bees as they are likely to be, for the queens are more' prolific, especially when crossed with Cyprian, as mino are, but I think they are more inclined to swarm, and thus be reduced in quantity , at-ain. This swarming trouble is one of the worst I have to contend with, for if they would not thus divide up so much, there would probably be less trouble with the worms. This year I propose to keep them from swarming as much as possible, then double up the weakest ones as soon as the fever is over. Why do bees swarm ? would be an inter esting question of discussion and observation. It is not alwavs for want of room, because within a week I have had swarms come out where the top was entirely empty and the bottom not full, and one fine lot of Cyprian hybreds after being hived in a new place only remained over nisht. the aueen laying a part of a frame of eggs when out they come. I was right there with a good force pump, but water w ould not cool them clown, and after following them a few rods my boy took to throwing dirt among them, and thus followed them for over a mile, but had to let them go. Another one thus came out, but Had to 0 back because the queens' wings were clipped, and after they were back I took away all the brood, but twice since in one day they have tried to leave, though part of the bees with the brood were put with a nucleus. After they went back the last time we moved the hive to a new place. I have not time to write much now, but will experiment and report after the busy season is over. BLACKS, ITALIANS, CYPRIANS AND HYBRIDS ARRAIGNED. I will add a few more'lines to say that to day in swarms containing twelve frames of brood, half of them so full as to leave no space for honey, and the bees plainly marked with two yellow bands', I found several worms on the brood, though some of the black bees are clear of worms. My yellow bees are mixed Cyprian and Italian and black. I believe the more Cyprian there is in a strain, the faster they will breed, fly faster, travel into a hive double quick every time when emptied in front of it, will swarm four times to the black ones once probably, stine quicker too. One peculiarity seems to mark the difference be- rtween the two varieties is, the black bees wait until the new queen is hatched or about to hatch, before they swarm, while the Cyprisa swarm as soon as they get a capped queen ceil, and sometimes only wait to draw cue out half an inch, then off they go, seeming to care nothing for the welfare of those that re main. A little such blood may be useful to lend activity to blacks that are too slow, but to-day I began to breed from black queens again, and the one that will give bees least in clined to swarm, and most inclined to store honey, will be my favorite to breed from af ter this, without regard to color pedigree, Marketing Honey. It is almost discouraging enough to make ns want to quit the bee business altogether to see the way that sonre of our beemen will per sist in taking their honey to the market. After all that has been written, talked and urged over and over again, till the theme is threadbare from constant wear, do we see bee-keepers lugging their honey to market in roost shameful, lazy yes, and dirty shape. Right among ns done tee men who take the bee journals, attend the conventions, and talk like intelligent, well potted beemen, tak ing their honey to market in the most negli gent condition. One instance that I know of where the case was taken from the hive just as the bees had been at work at it, and taken to town without looking at it, and there it stands to-day on sale, with combs all the way from a strip an inch' wide to full combs capped over; frames stuck together, honey leaking down on the floor, covered with dust and filth, annoyance to the grocer and the buyer. It is such honey raisers as these that injure honey markets. Early in the fall these men begin to see that they are going to have quite a little dab ofjeomb honey;, tuen'conus the question of what are we going to do with it; can we ever sell so much ? They take it to town and get what they can for it. This case I have noted was sold to the grocers at IS) cents per pound, they retailing at 15 cents, tyht jfc.arg. when we at the same time were selling every ounce of ours at 23 cents, and our extracted at 20 cents. When spoken to for selling at so low a price, he said : "Why, it's all I can get." He was told to keep his honey till later and he would get a better price, and now that same honey is selling in the dirty case for 25 cents. Some of them seem to be sfraid of keeping a crop of honey tor awhile, and are in such great haste to get rid of it as to rush off to market withont any attempt to put it in nice, clean shape. Now, what can we do with these fellows? As for ourselves, we don't need to put up fancy show cases for display, to glass each section, or any other extra fixiog, for we can sell every pound of comb or ex tracted honey we can get from the house, without putting an onnce on tho market. There is no use for us small producers to ship to a distant market our few hundreds or thousands of pounds of honey, for if wo try only just a little we can sell all of it during a few weeks of the fall and winter, and at much Detter prices than tho commission merchants can return. I know of honey being taken to Chicago, Bold at 18 cents, from which all ex penses of freight and car fare had to be taken, when at the same time the honey could have all been sold for cash at 20 cents in a neighboring city. There is not effort enough made to build up our home markets with nice clean honey. If such men as I have been talking about did not take the journals, we might hope for a remedy, but they do take the journals, seem to be enthusiastic bee keepers, and use good sections and honey boards. I wish .we could give them such a rap over the knuckles as to wake them up to their duty. Will. M. Kellooo in Bet-Keeperi Mayatine. Creameries. Last year the net returns to tho patrons of cheese factories makiug whole milk cheese, and to tlioso making both butter and cheese, showed a considerable balance in favor of the latter. This is principally due to two causes: One is the relatively higher price for butter than for cheese during the past year, and the other is the advance which has been made in the manufacture of skim cheese. A part of this improvement is due to the sweeter and better condition of the skim-milk under the improved process of cold Betting, and the rest may be credited to a better skill In adapting the mode of manufacture to the conditions of tho milk. A mild, soft, fairly palatable and fairly wholesome cheese is now made in many of the modern creameries out of milk which would, a few years ago, have turned out nothing but "white oak." The success of the creameries and the present high price of but ter is causing the erection of a good many new creameries this Bpring, and tho cheese factories which are adapted to manufacturing either butter or cheese are, many of them, preparing for skimming, the first part of the season at least. Dairymen are constantly os cillating to and from the manufacture ot butter or cheese. The current this spring seems to be all one way, and the change may possibly be so great as to cause a reaction in the relative prices of butter and cheese. Butter is now much the most profitable. Cheese at 13 cents, and but ter at 30 cents, give eoual profit from the milk. But, just now, cheese does not Bell as readily at 13 cents as butter does at 45 cents. Fifteen cents extra profit on the milk for a pound of butter is a great difference when ap plied to tho milk of a whole factoiy, and it is not strange that dairymen'should be anxious to avail themselves of it. National Live Stock Journal. Effects of Feeding Offensive Food to Pigs. The prevailing notion that the hog has digestion equal to any undertaking in tho way of converting crude or offensive food, leads many to givo, in excossivo quantities, what ever refuse happens to be on hand, whether spoiled grain, putrid meat or other refuse. Tho result of such a mess, when given to a sow about to pig, or having a litter by her side, is inevitably damaging to the pigs. The mi'k glands act in such a cose as an outlet for offending substances that get into the system through the stomach, or that, through any species of disordered action, aro engendered within the system. From this it will readily be seen that the mi.k of an animal not in a perfect state of health must contain a consid erable portion of the impurities that are, from hour to hour, given off. The fact that poison taken into the system of the young, either human or brute, through the milk, nets so promptly, generally produc ing disorder of the stomach and bowels within a very few hours, is sufficient proof of the virulence of the poison, as well as of the im portance of guarding against such accumula tions within the system of the brood sow while suckling her young. Dry corn gives a tendency to feverishness. Too much sour slops, if the sow be debarred from access to the earth, ashes, charcoal and like substances, capable of neutralizing the excess of acid, will derange digestion; ,tho blood becomes impure and, as stated, these impurities escape, in part, into the milk.
