    DAIRY FARMING.
h Furnishes a Harvest That Lasts
All the Year.
Dairy farming, which has been hap
pll designated "the harvest that lasts
a'.l Uie year," enters into the field of
manufacturing more than any other
farming pursuit, since the dairy farm
er furnishes both the raw material
and finished product. It enters both
Into lire stock raising and general
far::.:;," and for the greatest success
demands that those who follow It shall
bare a thorough as well as practical
knowledge of the breeding and rais
in? of animals, no less than the plant
ing, cultivating and harvesting of farm
Crops.
An Important Advantage.
Whole nations, a3 Denmark and Hol
land, and whole states, as New York
find Wisconsin, have been made pros
perous by attention to dairy farming
and the production of butter, cheese
and milk of high quality, says Inland
Farmer. Many farmers have become
wealthy in land and money "by the pur
suit of dairying. Whole communities
have been built up and enriched by
the gentle dairy cow and the man be
hind her. Dairy farming also has this
Important advantage that it restores
fertility to the land, while other sys
tems of cropping take fertility from It
as each load of grain or grass is haul
ed away to be sold.
Some Hardships.
There are, of course, hardships con
nected with dairy farming and the
handling of cows, and often the ship
ping of the milk or cream and the
profitable marketing of the same are
attended with difficulty, but were this
not the case it woull be different from
most other pursuits of !ife and would
attract many from thens.
THE MUSKMELON.
How to Circumvent the Chief Enemy
of the Gi ower.
In raising muskmelous I fit my soil
the same as for soru, marking oC the J
Bame, and plant my melon seed in every
Other check, thus leaving the hills in
Squares. After ground is fitted I plant
THE MONTREAL MUSKMELON.
Squash seed just to one side of where
melons are to be planted uud do not
plant the latter until squashes are well
up.
The idea In planting squashes is ob
vious. The chief pest of the melon
raiser is the little striped bug better
known as the cucumber bug. As the
squash plant is more hardy than the
young melon plant I use it as a trap
for the bugs, as they seem to like it
fully as well as the melon. On it they
seem to thrive and breed. By the time
the melons are up the bugs have per
formed their work and disappeared.
My rule is to plant corn first, and
then make the major part of the garden,
Including the melou planting, says a
Michigan farmer in American Agricul
turist. I sometimes use the hotbed for
Starting my melon plants, planting seed
In inverted sods cut In squares about
8 by 8 inches, and when plants are
grown to the proper size, say two or
three rough leaves each, I lift them
carefully, placing the sod on trays,
and set them, sod and all, in the per
manent bill. I want at least eight good
plants to each hill, as some are sure to
die. As they grow the weaker ones are
taken out until but three or four are
left, which Is an abundance. After
plants are well on their way the
quashes are removed.
The Montreal muskmelon satisfies.
First, it is a model of beauty, being
almost spherical in form; second, its
deep, dense netting gives protection in
transit; third, its size runs usually very
even, averaging in diameter from five
to six inches, thus making two even
standard grades; fourth, the quality Is
good; fifth, It is productive to a fault
when conditions are right, which means
good soil, good culture and agreeable
weather. I have never raised more
than one-fourth acre of the Montreal
at a time, and that season I picked
2,S32 melons, nearly all marketable
specimens, from this patch. This is
the best I ever did.
The hills were planted 5 by &A feet,
thus giving me 354 hills, which aver
aged eight nice melons each.
Black Rot In Tomatoes.
Black rot is often very troublesome
In our early tomatoes. A Georgia
farmer says his early tomatoes brought
$ 8 a bushel last season, but most of
his first crop was unmarketable on
account of black rot spots.
We have not yet learned how to con
quer this disease. Possibly we may
cbeok it somewhat by frequent spray
ing with bordeaux mixture, but our
main reliance must be found in allow
ing free circulation of air around the
plant by supporting the Tines In such
way as to hold the fruit up from the
groand. Last season our tomatoes
were free from rot or nearly so. T. G.
In Farm and Fireside.
Horseradish In the Garden.
Horseradish should be grown in the
garden, where you can get nice large,
smooth roots, and not in the back yard
or chip yard, where yon will secure
nothing but slender, sprangly ones.
KEEPING HOGS CLEAN.
Kerosene Emulsion Said to Be Excel
lent For This Purpose.
Those who object to kerosene In its
fuil strength as a disinfectant and de
stroyer of parasites should try it in the
diluted form, says a writer in National
Stockman and Farmer. Kerosene can
not be diluted by simply adding wa
ter, but it must be first broken np by
some agent, and then it will be held in
suspension by the water. When this
is done it is called an emulsion.
This can be cheaply and easily made
In this way: Take one-fourth pound of
soft soap and dissolve It thoroughly on
the stove in a quart of water. Pour
this into a closed five gallon coal oil
can and add two quarts of kerosene.
Close the can and shake it vigorously
for about a minute. When this is done
fill up the can with rain water.
The mixture will have a. milky ap
pearance, and it will be found that the
oil is distributed throughout the solu
tion. It is ready for use and is milder
than the pure kerosene. It is excellent
for keeping the pigs clean and will
cure mange if taken in time. It has
been found that a solution of kerosene
as low as 10 per cent will instantly
kill hog lice when they are plunged
into it.
The emulsion costs but little and
you cannot put too much on the pig
to injure him in any way. This mix
ture will freeze, and the can should be
kept in a heated room in severe
weather.
When to Wean Pigs.
The proper time to wean little pigs
is from six to eight weeks of age. The
pig is then at an age when it digests
solid foods and will grow just as well
as if it were still nursing its dam, says
a writer in Farm Life. The constant
drain on the sow's system has been
quite severe; consequently she should
have all the time to recuperate be
fore she has to nourish another litter.
Furthermore, a good brood sow should
raise two litters a year, and If the pigs
suck longer than six or eight weeks
this would be impossible. ' If the sow
is a heavy milker the pigs should be
weaned gradually, otherwise there is
danger of injury to the sow's udder,
but, as a rule, this does not give any
trouble.
Little pigs always do better when
not more than six or eight in a single
pen. Separate the smaller ones and
give them every possible chance to
grow. Give them a dry sleeping place,
a roomy pen, a spacious yard in which
to take exercise and spray frequently
with an antiseptic and insecticide solu
tion and keep them free from lice.
And if similar care is given until the
pig is six or seven months old it will
weigh from 225 to 275, or just the prop
er weight to market.
Salt For Live Stock.
The horse prefers salt where he can
get at it at will rather than have it
forced upon him in his feed at irregu
lar intervals. Some make a mistake in
putting salt in the horse's trough each
time they feed him. The best way to
provide salt for the horse and other
stock as well is to place a small box
for that purpose near the feed trough.
THE FEEDER.
Every one who owns a flock of
sheep should make provision for clo
ver hay, oat and pea hay, for variety.
Bean vines are also relished. Give the
breeding ewes wheat bran. It will
make the lambs strong.
Salt For the Hogs.
When I salt my hogs, which I do
three times a week while they are eat
ing, I throw salt broadcast on their
back, says an Ohio breeder. The result
of this is that they get the salt with
their food, which seems to be the prop
er way to have it, and what salt re
mains on the hog forms a brine that
destroys the lice. By this means of
salting I get a better result from the
fattening of the hog and at the same
time rid it of lice, which is one of the
worst pests of the hog lot
Crushed Oats For Colts.
Crushed oats are all right for colts,
but it does not pay to feed them to ma
tured horses with good teeth. Never
keep a large supply on hand. After
being crushed the oats soon lose their
freshness and palatablllty.
Carrots For Live Stock.
Carrots are good for all farm ani
mals, and, while their chemical analy
sis may not show very much nutritive
value, they are somewhat in the same
line as are leached ashes when used
for fertilizer, having in them a value
that a chemist does not find. Of one
thing I am sure, says a breeder, after
feeding carrots several years to horses
and cattle they have a very much
greater value than most men would
suppose. Besides their nutritive value,
they are a very wholesome tonic for
live stock, much more so, I think, than
any of the prepared stock foods.
Grind the Feed.
You often find that whole grain pass
es through stock in aq unmasticated
condition. Fields enriched with such
fertiliser have shown a fan stand of
grain. The Michigan experiment sta
tion carried on a test to demonstrate
the value of this grain. The experi
ment was made under the most favor
able circumstances and showed three
things first, the cattle fed corn, oats
and bran wasted the largest percent
age, while those fed oats alone wasted
the least; second, the composition of
the grain was practically unchanged
by its passage through the digestive
tract, showing that the animal gets no
benefit from It; third, the germinating
power of the grain was affected consid
erably. Only 4.3 per cent of the corn
and 10.6 per cent of the oats germinat
ed after the treatment.
" SUCCESS "IN" DATR?iR6L "
A Pennsylvania Dairyman's Profitable
Method of Marketing Milk.
A progressive Pennsylvania dairy
man recently told' in the National
Stockman and Farmer how he disposed
of his milk at a good profit as follows:
Arrangements were made to place
tte merits of our milk before the peo
ple in a nice descriptive circular. A
mailing card for a request to have our
man deliver a sample bottle was put
into each circular, and these circulars
were put into every house in town.
The circulars covered the following
points:
First This milk is produced from a
tested herd absolutely free from tu
berculosis. Second. A certificate from a local
veterinarian, who tested the herd; also
a statement from him in regard to the
sanitary conditions of the barn, etc.
Third. An explanation showing the
importance of clean milk from healthy
cows to babies and invalids.
Fourth. Instructions to consumers
how to take care of milk after it was
delivered to them and explaining the
danger of allowing milk to become con
taminated. A letter inclosing the circular was
also sent to each one of the physicians
in the town. ..
Results of the Plan.
Although we . did not have a single
customer before we started, when we
were ready to deliver we had orders
for 150 quarts daily, and at the end of
thirty days we had sale for all we had
at that time, 200 quarts daily. We
have received for our milk 5 cent3 per
quart, delivered at the station. This
milk was retailed at 8 cents a quart, 2
cents higher than the average price for
milk.
In a town where ordinary milk sells
for 8 cents, 10 cents can easily be pro
cured for milk of this quality. In oth
er words, in order to market milk at a
profit the farmer must first arrange
for the protection of milk cleaner and
better than the average and, second, to
carry on an advertising campaign to
educate people to appreciate good milk
and to believe in his particular product.
A proper advertising campaign like the
above can be carried out anywhere for
a sum not to exceed $50.
From a Dairyman's Notebook.
Try carding and brushing these days
and note whether the cows enjoy it.
Note whether the grain is relished
better if a pinch of salt is added. Salt
on inferior hay will make it far more
palatable.
This is the time when "grub in back"
begins to appear. Squeeze 'em out.
If roughage is getting short or of
very poor quality and grain is fed, feed
more liberally of cornmeal than would
otherwise be done.
It sometimes occurs a cow's feet are
in poor condition. Where toes are ab
normally long or the sole jagged the
hoof should be trimmed by some one
who knows how.
The horn button of every bull calf
ought to be treated with a stick of
caustic potash. Keep off the horns
from the bull.

American Cultivator.
Dairy T&lk of Today.
Tuberculosis Is now recognized as an
infectious disease caused and spread
by a microbe or bacillus, and Dr. Sal- j
mon presents the various methods of
eradicating it from djniry herds. The
important features of all methods are
the complete separation of all affected
animals from the healthy ones, the
thorough disinfection of barns which
have been occupied by tuberculous
animals and the establishment of bet
ter sanitary conditions.
Coloring Butter and Cheese.
Questions about the coloring of but
ter and cheese under the pure food law
are frequent so let us state once more
that use of color in these products is
permitted by law and that the presence
of coloring matter is not required to be
stated on the package, says the Na
tional Stockman and Farmer. The law
which specifically permits the coloring
of butter is twenty years old and that
which permits coloring of cheese ten
years old. They were not repealed by
the new law and are consequently still
in force.
Weighing Milk.
In a discussion at the late Vermont
dairy meeting a dairyman asked if
farmers did not overestimate the work
of weighing milk. He found it nothing
to do and scarcely any expense. Pro
fessor Hills explained the weighing at
the university and said experiments
had proved that by weighing three
days a month and adding a cipher the
actual monthly result could be obtain
ed in 96 per cent of the cases.
Milk Kept Seven Weeks.
A new process for keeping milk a
long time is announced by German
scientists. The milk is first treated
with peroxide of hydrogen, which kills
the germs, but Imparts a peculiar taste
to the milk- Then to each quart of milk
is added a few drops of the ferment ob
tained from beef liver, from which the
beef has been expressed. This sub
stance, it is claimed, destroys the un
pleasant taste given to the milk by the
peroxide of hydrogen. At first thought
this new plan does not seem to be
adopted on a large scale, and the dis
coverers admit that it Increases the
cost of the milk 4 or 5 cents per quart
so that It would not be practical to use
except where fresh milk could not be
obtained regularly. Ifc is claimed that
the milk so treated was successfully
kept for seven weeks.
WHY HILL SUCCEEDED.
James J. Hill entered the rail
road business in 1881 as general
manager of the St. Paul and Pacific
railroad, and a clew to the reasons
of his success may be found in the
following from an article in Every
body's Magazine:
"He was baggageman, conductor,
engineer, track walker, fireman, pas
senger agent, freight agent, traffic
manager and everything else on the
road at different times," one of the
men who was with him as assistant
at this time told me.- "He looked
after every detail until those who
watched him were appalled. Not a
box of rubber bands was bought
that he didn't O. K. the order and
supervise payment. He not only
learned how the work was being
done, but devised methods of doing
it differently, doing it better, more
"economically, more expediently. Sys
tem followed in his wake, system in
every department. Bailroading as
he found it was an involved, cum
bersome, chaotic affair. He made
it a science."
Midair Photography.
Cameras on the wing are flying
through Germany. A projectile to
take photographs and claimed to
have been successful at heights of
half a mile is the idea of Herr Ma
rie, "a German photographer. A
camera having the form of the usual
kind of conical shell is thrown into
the air by means of a kind of trap.
At a predetermined iangle as the
camera turns to make its descent
and is pointed slightly downward
the . shutter is automatically re
leased, and a picture is taken of a
broad epanse of country. In still
air the flight and spot at which the
aerial camera will fall can be calcu
lated with much precision. Precau
tions are taken to avoid damage by
concussion, and the results are ex
pected to be of great possible value
in military operations. Chicago

The Greatest Inventors.
Professor Alexander Graham Bell
of telephone fame the other day
was in Washington, where as he
strolled along Pennsylvania avenue
his snow white hair and beard, rud
dy face and easy carriage attracted
much attention. A newspaper cor
respondent long known to the pro
fessor joined him and in the course
of their chat asked Mr. Bell's opin
ion of newspaper men. "You know,
professor," said the correspondent,
"but for us you great inventors
would not be so widely known."
"That's very true," coincided Pro
fessor Bell, who added dryly, "And
do you know I sometimes think you
newspaper men are the greatest in
ventors in the world."
Proper Lightning Protectors.
In an address to the Eoyal Engi
neers at Chatham, England, Alfred
Hands said that too much impor
tance is attached to the form and
composition of lightning conductors
and not enough to the fact that the
efficiency depends almost entirely
on the way the apparatus is attach
ed and little on what it is made of.
Lightning conductors in the hands
of experts, he said, may be likened
to drugs in the hands of doctors
they must be suited to the particu
lar case. As to the relative value of
iron and copper for conductors,
there is but a trifling difference ex
cept that for conductors expected to
last long iron is too perishable.
Florida Shark Story.
A tarpon pursued by a shark near
Garden key, in one of its tremen
dous leaps fell across a skiff con
taining two fishermen, who were so
busily engaged with a net that they
did not notice its approach. The
skiff broke in two, the fishermen be
came entangled in the net, and the
shark took a huge bite out of the
side of one of them, Belton Larkin,
cutting his body nearly in two. It is
thought the shark mistook Larkin's
body for the tarpon it was in pursuit
of, for sharks in those waters have
never been known to attack a man.

WILD TOBACCO OF COLORADO.
Professor Fritz Knorr of the Col
orado Agricultural college has found
tobacco growing wild in greatest
profusion in the Montezuma valley
of Colorado. Professor Knorr is a
native of Kentuek' and knows to
bacco culture all the way from
planting the seed to breaking the
necks of the big green worms.
While attending the farmers' insti
tute at Cortez, in the Montezuma
valley, Professor Knorr was asked
to suggest a method for eradicating
a very troublesome weed. He took
a sample of the weed to examine
and was amazed to see in it a very
fine specimen of wild tobacco. It
seems that none of the farmers
there was familiar with the tobac
co plant and did not recognize the
obnoxious weed as the ancestor of
the cigars they were smoking. It
is believed that tobacco was raised
extensively in the Montezuma val
ley ages ago by the cliff dwellers,
the lost race that left so many evi
dences of their civilization and yet
not a line of their history. The
wild tobacco plant flourishes there
in greatest profusion in vicinities
thought to have been cultivated by
the mysterious race and along what
are believed to have once been their
irrigation ditches. Kansas City

Green." "Isn't she a good deal of a
nuisance?" continued the depositor,
who was lacking in the tfcimp of rev
erence for money as typified in the
person of the richest woman in
America. "I don't suppose I should
say so," replied the clerk, "but, be
tween ouAelves, she is. But then,
yon know, she keeps a balance here
of something like $5,000,000, and
people with accounts like that can
be any kind of a nuisance and no
one will think it advisable to re
