THE MAN AND THE COW.
How th Cow Rewards the Man Who
Treata Her Well.
Take the county of Sheboyjjim, Wis
ransin, composed ot fifteen townships
six miles square. That county turns out
innnally over a million of dollars, and
the banks of that county reported to me
last fall that there was on deposit in
their vaults by the dairymen alone of
that county a million and a half of dol
lars. Where did it come from? From
the steady, constant earnings of this
humble animal. In my own county
(Jefferson) the cows earn, o-.uially a
million and a quarter of dc-'l the
effect of this has been t.j value
of land higher than ev i" v It lias
doubled in the dairy conaties, while in
those that cling to wheat there is no ad
vance, though the land was originally
better.
1 have been a student of dairying and
a keen observer of its influence on the
community where it is practiced. 1
have ever seen ari increase in the en
ergy, an increase in the ability, and in
crease in the solidity of a community
that entered into partnership with the
cow. Yet I hncl that tew men who are
engaged in dairying, as a rule, are a de
cided success in it. The great majority
of men who keep cows are going along
without any intellectual exertion. You
will find these men are not making it
pay as it ought to. Myself and son are
engaged in the business of manufactur
ing cheese and butter. We make about
1,500 pounda of butter a day, and about
the same number of pounds of cheese.
Now, in my own home creamery we
have about 100 patrons, and this will
give yon, as though 1 were to map it out
on the wall, a clear, competent idea of
success. We take this milk, about 10.
000 or 17,000 pounds of it, every morning
in that creamery, and every man s milk
ia tested, and the per cent, of butter fat
it contains is determined, and he is cred
ited with that amount. At the head of
that list is a man of the namo of Mc
pherson. Last year we paid that man
in cash sixty-three dollars a head as the
earnings of his cows, and we returned
him his akiinmuk, which we would have
paid him twelve dollars a head more for
as an investment of our own. That
made his cowa earn him seventy-five
dollars a head in cash.
Now, says one man, that was success.
Certainly. Right alongside of him is
another man who has had the same op
portunities, with the same sky above
him. the same earth beneath him, the
same creamery behind him and the samo
market ahead of him, and we paid that
man forty dollars a cow. The first man
nail thirty-five cows; the last had twenty.
Where lay the difference of success?
Waa it in the heavens above or in the
earth beneath? It lay in the brain, not
the hands. This man McPherson started
out with the idea that it takes a deal of
study to make a success of the cow.
Thirteen years ago his cows were high
grade Shorthorns, interlined and crossed
with beef blood.
He came and asked my advice. I said
you want butter. Very well, lotusstart
then with butter blood. Dny u sire of
the very best blood and breeding you
call get, put him at the head of your
herd, and from these mothers take lib
daughters, and then again, and by intel
ligent handling and breeding, produce

tne nera yon want, ana yon can come to
me in live or six years and say the
change has made a success. He did so.
Now, from a herd which produced him
ISO pounds of butter ahead, his cows to
day produce him 850 pounds of butter n
year. That is the first thing I want
every man to see: he must have a dairy
cow. Lots of men think it is all feed.
It is feed, too; but first it is breed, then
it is feed. Extract from Governor
Hoard's Address.
Clotted Cream.
Henry Stewart gives in his Dairy
man's Manual the following directions
for preparing this summer delicacy:
One of the most desirable usob of
cream in its sweet state is for making
clotted cream, a delicious article of food,
a substitute for butter or a condiment
for fruit and pastry. It is made as fol
lows: The milk having stood in shallow
pans for twelve hours, the pans of milk
are set upon -a stove or heater without
any disturbance of tho cream, and are
gradually brought to a heat of 180 dogs,
at which teiuperatnre the cream be
comes slightly wrinkled or "crinkled.'
The pans are then put back into the
dairy. In twenty-four hours more a
thick, solid skin of cream is thrown up,
which can be rolled up and lifted off the
milk without falling apart. This cream
is then sold for immediate use as above
mentioned, or is made into cream
cheese, oris churned into butter while
it to owriaor TJin hnrr.pr thus Tnnrfo haa n

long time.
Jersey and Uolsteln.
The battle of the breeds at the World's
fair bids fair to be between these two
breeds, and, curiously enough, it is to
be a butter fight entirely. But will it
settle the question , as to which is the
better breed? I don't see how it can so
long as men have such different view?
as to what constitutes a dairy cow. No
one doubts that if we take the first
twenty Jerseys we come to they will
outyield in butter the first twenty
Holsteins, and the latter will outyield
the Jerseys in milk. And if we go on
and test the second twenty of each breed
the ytme results will be found, and so
on till we test all of tho cows of the two
breeds. Tho result of the fight at the
World's fair will probably show this
plainly, as only selected specimens of
the breeds will compete. And after the
fight is over the champions of each breed
will be of the same mind they were be
Fore. A. L. Crosby in National Stock
man. Prolonging the Fruit Season.
A curious fact in pear culture, and in
deed in fruit culture generally, ia that if
the bulk of the crop is picked when
ripening, and a portion of it ay a
fourth or less is left on the tree, the
latter will cease to ripen and will re
main on the. tree in good order for a
montb longer. An instance is given in
Garden and Forest of some fine old Buf
f on pears that were left on the tree a full
month longer than the main crop, which
was gathered Sept. 20. The most perish
able plums, such as Washington, will
behave in the samo way. Nature pro
vides in some fruits for a long succession
by loosening the ripe ones from the stem,
This is peculiarly true of the Graven
stein and summer strawberry apples,
but it is often worth our while to follow
nature and secure a long season of some
favorite fruit.
A Cureulio Swing,
Modorn methods of fighting the plum
cureulio come and sometimes go, but
the old reliable jarring process remains
in deserved favor, and when thorough ia
successful. As proof that thorough and
frequent jarring is a trustworthy cureu
lio remedy, a fruit grower at a horticul'
tural meeting in Michigan told that his
children had put a swing between two
of his plum trees and nsed it freely in
the spring. The result was all sound
plums on the two trees and plenty of
cureulio on all the rest. The jarring is
all right, if only repeated often enough.
We would also prefer poultry about to
pick np the fallen weevils.
The first thing to do in building up a
model dairy ia to get rid of your poor
cows. Then get a pure bred bull of a
milk or butter family, whichever you
wish to produce.
If you are a yonng man or woman
and expect to" make your living on
farm, go to your state dairy school thia
winter and graduate.
A DESTRUCTIVE PEST.
MOTH WHOSE YOUNG FEED
GROWING CROPS,
ON
CanslBf Untold Lou in the Cotton Belt.
The Common Corn Worm Frorea to
Be the Same as the Cotton Boll Borer.
It Ia a lnW.rs.1 Pest.
The boll worm of the South and corn
worm of the Middle states is one and the
same species. It ia perhaps the most in
jurious of all insects. It not only seri
ously injures our two great crops, corn
md cotton, but also a great many others.
One of its modes of feeding it to pene
trate and feed within the stalks ot a
great many different succulent plant.
The corn or boll worm is the caterpil
lar of a moth known a Heliothi armig
era, usually ot a pale clay yellow, but
luite variable. It flies by night. The
moth lays an average of 600 eggs and
there are two or three broods, in a year.
Where parasitic insects do not check
their increase the second and third
broods do vast injury to inch crops as
cotton, corn, potatoes, tomatoes etc. It
is quite omnivorous. But few insects
equal it iu this respect. . This and the
larva of the true stalk borers moth,
Gortynea nitela. which is also quit a
general feeder, with similar moth and
caterpillar, would quickly starve out the
world if they had no parasites to keep
them pretty well In subjection- They
are so well protected in their feeding
habits as to render it impossible for
their enemies to reach tliem all.
The. j are undoubtedly three broods a
season in all the valleys of this Coast.
They greatly injure corn ripening at
certain times in the summer season. The
larva first feeds on the silks of corn
and then on the grain, and as it is a vo
racious feeder and quite large and there
are more than one worm to the ear as a
rule they often play havoc in patches of
jweet corn and greatly injure large
fields. If corn was a general crop in
California, early and late varieties
grown exteiftively and generally, this
one insect might and probably would
render its cultivation unprofitable. It
has cost cotton growers millions of dol
lars and has ruined many corn crops over
wide areas.
It is most injurious to corn directly
north of the cotton belt, through South
ern Illinois, Missouri and Kansas. When
corn ears are badly injurnd by it, it is
said to be poisonous to stock feeding on
it. There seems to be some truth in this.
The poisonous matter is a redish fungus
that attacks the injured grains. This
fungus seems to follow the worm on
other plants. Thus the cotton of a bur
rowed boll, if it does not rot, ia stained
red and rendered unsaleable. It preys
upon cotton the whole season through,
attacking the buds long -before they
bloom, causing them to drop, and keep
right at it until the list worms freeze
with the cotton.
It treats corn mnch the same way, eat
ing the silks (pistils) off before they are
pollinated. Such ears of course mature
no grain. But in a large field of corn
there are so many ears in bloom at once
thut there ia seldom much damage of
this kind, though crops have been en
tirely ruined by the larva feeding on the
growing grain. i .
When the worm reaches maturity it
enters the ground and in three to four
weeks, if of the first two broods, emerges
aa a moth, while of the last brood some
ieem to pass the wintt." as motha and
others in the cocoon.
In a large area of southeastern Arkan
sas, covered with a peculiar, very fine
silty soil, the ball worm cannot pass the
winter as a chrysaiid in the soil, owing
it ia supposed to extreme wetness and
close texture. As the boll worm is not
found in that region it is pretty conclu
sive evidence that tne motn cannot
hibernate there.
The boll worm ia one of the hardest
insects to control and one well protect
ed from its natural enemies, other in
sects. By its feeding habits constantly
tinder cover in its burrow, it is protect
ed largely from birds and other enemies.
The one thing that holds it in check ia
lack of food plant for the first brood.
Cotton cornea nearest being a full food
plant for it the season through. Yet it
does not come early enough for the first
brood. On this Coast both the first and
the second broods will have a hungry
time of it and perhaps the last also. Yet
enough manage to get through to seri
ously injure the corn.
The most practical remedy seems to
be bright lights with some kind of traps
for the moths to tumble into when they
come fluttering around at night, They
can also be trapped in large open dishes
partly filled with sugar and vinegar in
solution. This, like all truly injurious
native insects, is very hard to control.
Birds are of no value In destroying them.
Those who are continually preaching
about the value of birds as destroyers of
noxious insects evince a lack of knowl
edge of biological science.
