When you intend to raiso a calf, let it
run with the mother cow till her milk
gets good, then take it away and begin
to feed it.
In feeding a young calf it is better af
ter you have taken it away from the
cow to let it have a part of her milk for
a few days. Then if you cannot afford
that longer, mix linseed meal cooked to
a jelly with sweet skimmilk at the
rate of a pound of the jelly to fifty
pounds of the milk and feed this to the
calf. It makes a fairly good substitute
for unskimmed cow s milk in calf feed
ing. Later you may add to the linseed
some oatmeal with the hulls carefully
sifted out.
Let us have a great big chicken show
at the World's fair. Begin to prepare
now for it.
A calf is old enough to begin to take
solid food with its liquid nourishment
when it begins to chew the cud.
The life of a working bee is only fonr
or five weeks in the flower season. Six
weeks, therefore, will serve to change
the breed of the whole hivefirf if an
Italian queen is introduced at this time.
She lays from 1,000 to 2,000 eggs a day.
Handle the ndderand teats of a heifer
that is intended for milking from the
time she is a calf. Pet and tame her
from the beginning.
The farmer who turned his attention
some years ago to the breeding of large,
high stepping carriage hornts Is now
reaping his reward. City people are
calling for them in constantly increas
ing number. The first thing an Ameri
can city man does when he gets rich is
not to go back and buy the old farm, as
he dreamed he would in youth, but to
get a handsome city houie on a fashion
able avenue and set up his carriage.
How to L'se Kerosene in Cleaning.
A little kerosene on a rag will help in
cleaning almost any metal and save
much energy spent in robbing. The
bathtub, the big boiler in the kitchen,
tin pails, coal scuttles almost anything
of the sort will yield to a little kerosene.
CO-OFRATIVE CREAMERIES.
Am Knormous Amount ot Labor Saved
When They Are Socccssful.
The co-operative system must continue
to grow in magnitude until a large por
tion of all the milk produced is worked
tip at central points. Centralization is
the order of the day, and nowhere is it
more evident than in dairying. There
will be some increase iu the system
where private dairymen supply indi
vidual customers with butter, but there
is a limit in this direction, while for the
factory system 1 see nouo.
The bringing together of the milk
from off a hundred farms to one central
point means that a hundred farmers'
wives are relieved from irksome labor,
and in place of a hundred kinds of but
ter in as mmy style packages, each pay
ing heavy express charges, there is one
lot of uniform quality, shipped at low
rates in the refrigerator car. In the
creamery I see the saving of an enor
mous amount of energy on the farm
which will be set free and utilized in
the direction of better dairy farms,
pleasunter homes and improved social
conditions.
Who shall control the creameries?
Upon this important question 1 have ar
rived at no definite conclusions. There
is a natural desire among farmers in
these days to control their own business,
and who can blame them for it? The
farmer's occupation in a measure pro
vents him from being a careful, shrewd
business man in the usual sense of that
term. His work is to produce rather
than to barter. In consequence of the
desire among fanners to manage their
own business, we have seen scores and
hundreds of co-operative creameries
spring up in the west. Because of en
mity, jealousy and lack of business ca
pacity we have seen a large per cent, of
these factories become bankrupt and
pass into other hands.
If our farmers would only have more
patience with each other, and would put
the same energy to work along business
lines that is now given over to neighbor
hood quarrels, co-operative factories
would rule the day. Here and there we
find co-operative factories successfully
managed which stand as monuments of
neighborhood good feeling and brotherly
confidence. May their number rapidly
increase. Pi'ofessor Henry.
About Itrlck Cheeses.
Mr. W. J. Kuckhan, of Minnesota,
asks how "brick cheeses'" are made.
As we understand it, the milk is coag
ulated the same as for general American
cheese making, but no acid is developed
in the curd. The whey is drawn early,
curd is worked down fine with the
hands, and before acidity is perceptible
the curd is put into wooden boxes about
by 7 niches and some (I inches deep.
The boxes have no bottoms, but stand
on a board, so the whey can drain.
Enough curd is put in the box to make
a cured cheese that will weigh from
four to six pounds. Usually the curd is
not talted in the mass, though a few do
partially salt before pressing. A fol
lower tits inside the box, on which a
brick or something of equal weight is
laid to do the pressing. They are turned
after awhile and pressing continued.
They need no bandaging.
When taken from the press box next
morning they are rubbed with salt.
The salting is continued thus from day
to day till they are considered salt
enough. They are cured several weeks
in acellar that is midway between moist
and dry. We do not understand the
curing cellar is ever artificially wanned.
When ready for sale or use all tho
"brick cheeses" we have ever sampled
have a flavor a little suggestive of that
of beef just a little "off flavor." lint
that constitutes part of the excellence of
the cheese for those who buy and eat it.
They are cheeses that most always
sell well in cold weather. The dealers
in them tell us tho production is over
done in the hot season sometimes, and
they go down cheap because of tho diffi
culty of keeping them. Hoard's Dairy
man. Notes.
The dairy business annually makes
Wisconsin the richer by over $30,0(10.000.
Two hundred dollars' worth of wheat
takes off a large amount from the fertil
ity of the farm, while $200 worth of but
ter takes off almost nothing.
England imports yearly 9' pounds of
buttur per head for her inhabitants.
When the fanner ships a thousand
dollars' worth of wheat he pays freight
on thirty tons of his product. When
the creameryman ships a thousand dol
lars' worth of butter he pays freight on
two tons. Here is a difference, even
counting in the extra cost of the refrig
erator car.
Creamery butter always brings from
four to five cents a pound more than
dairy butter. This ought nut to he so,
for the home dairy has some advantages
impossible for the creamery to seen re,
such as uniformity of milk for one. Tho
difference in the price, however, meas
ures the difference in the skill and care
employed in tho manufacture.
One thing is certain, butter in Amer
ica is generally better than it used to Iks,
I whether made at home or in the cream-
ery. The creamery and the dairy school
together have brought about this good
' result. The time will presently come
when nobody can secure a place to work
in a creamery unless he or she is a
graduate of a dairy school, and farmers'
daughters will all strive to take the
dairy course. Then the United States
will beat the world on butter. Let us
show at the Columbian fair what we
: have accomplished already.
The demand for condensed milk is
. increasing. But the plant for making
1 it is expensive.
In one day 13.000 pounds of butter are
I often sold on tl Klgin board of trade.
PROFIT IN HOGS.
A Man Who Makes Them Par on Clover
Pasture.
April 10, 1891, 1 bought forty head of
hogs, paying $117 for the bunch, or
$2,925 per head. They averaged ninety
pound per head; that made them cost
me $ 3. 25 per 100 pounds. These hogs 1
put after a bunch of cattle and they
staid with them until May 11, 1891,
when 1 put the cattle on grass.
I fed the hogs twelve barrels of corn
at $3 per barrel during the month of
Way and up to June 20; then I contract
ed them for $5.25 per 100 pounds to be
delivered July 10. Thus, you see, I had
twenty days to feed them and corn 1
could not buy, so I went to town and
got 2,000 pounds of oilineal which cost
$24, 1,000 pounds of bran which cost $5,
1,000 pounds of shipstuff which cost
$6.50, a total cost of $35.50. 1 put my
hogs (which had been in a woods pas
ture) iu a clover field, and not very good
clover at the best, and they then weighed
130 pounds per head. I began feeding
twice a day on a mixture of oilmeal,
bran and shipstuff wet up just enough
for them to eat it well, and kept it up
until the day to deliver. Then I had 200
pounds of oilmeal, 100 pounds of bran
and 150 pounds of shipstuff left. The
hogs averaged, on July 10, 188 pounds,
and brought me $9.8S9 per head, or
$375.79, as two of them had died in the
f?ed lot. The figures are these:

These hogs at only five cents per
pound would have brought $i!o7.20, nnd
that less the cost, $224.50, would leave
$133.70; and at $4.50 per 100 pounds
they would have brought $321 48, which
would have left a profit of $90.98. Now
the outlook in the future is more favor
able than last year, and com can be
bought at $1.50 and $2 per barrel, where
last year it cost $3 and $3.25, and hogs
are scarcer than at this time laBt year
and stock hogs are just as cheap as last
year. I think we farmers would do well
to keep our stock hogs and feed them oil
grass for the summer market, and when
we sell I do not think we will say as of
old that we have been robbed of our com
and hogs. I do not mean to say that the
market will be better or as good as last
year, hut I think it will justify the feed
ing of two dollar corn on clover pasture.
At least I am going to try it. I am go
ing to feed eighty head of hogs some
large ones and some small ones so if
there is a good market early I can put
my large hogs off on it and my small
ones later, Cor. Breeder's Gazette.
Wisdom Indeed.
Some men with ten acres under plow
are miserable till they are iu debt for a
gang plow, a four horse binder and an in
terest in a stallion and a steam thrasher.
Two hens and a rooster are enough to
make some of our enterprising western
farmers sleepless till they own or are in
debt for a forty dollar incubator.
Last spring we were talking with a
machine "expert" (expert in more ways
than one), who was on his way to a cen
tral Dakota farmer to sell him a steam
thrasher. Tho same man had told us
the fall before that he had sold this very
man all or more machinery than ho
could ever hope to pay for, and bo we
asked him what security he expected to
get.
"Well," ho said, "I happened to hear
that iiis wife's father had given her a
good span of horses and 100 fine sheep
to start them again, and if I get there
first they aro mine. 1 know I can sell
him a machine; he is no hand with such
things and 1 shall clean him out in a
year." Dakota Farmer.

In 1847 a party while prospecting for
oil in northern Pennsylvania carried
their supplies with thfin. A wildcat,
made havoc with their provisions, and
though they killed the animal and struck
oil, they were obliged to return to civili
zation to replenish their stores.

"Why, some of those trained horses are
regular Iujiu cayuses," remarked a man
at Robinsou's circus.
So they are, and they have all tho
symptoms of onyusei. Quite a bunch of
them were bought from the Umatilla In
dians in 1885, and their brands have not
yet washed off. One with the old pio
neer braud of Cutmoiith John, a very
pretty pinto pony, now well trained, was
purchased for $10 in that year ncd is
now valued at 3500. The cnyuse could
have remained nu the Unmtijla reserva
tion until old age claimed him, and he
would not have enhanced iu vulue, but
with a little time spent in training linn
ho is made one of the 400 in the horse
aitua. John nlwuys was easy on his
horses, and would never lot Hum out un
less he was scouting or oarrying impor
tant disiiatcftes. It used to be thought
that the cayuse would not make a good
ctrens boss, but be does. Pnvallup Com-meroe.
