heifer as we should of obtaining a good
beef animal from a Hereford, an An
gus or a Shorthorn, which are special
purpose breeds for beef.
The farmer, or any other man who
can keep but one or two cows, wants
the general purpose cow that will fur-
iiIku guod milk for thorn who like It as
a beverage, good cream for his coffee

and tootjmome as the quickly fattened
baby beef of some approved breed can
scarcely go amiss If he gets a good
Jersey or a Jersey grade of good breed

rows of other breeds, but we like the
little Jerwy because of her docility,
her easy keeping and the ease with
which ber cream can be converted Into

ImprOTemrat la Milk.
At a receut meeting of the Pennsyl
vania Jersey Cattle club at Pittsburg
great deal of attention was devoted
to milk, aaya The Natloual Stockman.
Vr. Pearson led a most Interesting dis
cussion aa to the methods of produc
ing milk of extra qnullty under the
highest sanitary conditions. One thing
In connection with the buxlness ta es
pecially worthy of note It pays. It
will not pay tbe producer for the trade
of a email town to take such extraor
dinary precautions aa do those who
produce milk for select trade In cities,
nor will It pay tbe shipper whose milk
froea to a dealer along with that of
Thomas, Richard and Henry. These
producers will And that, while good
milk la moot profitable to them, their
trade will nut pay for the extraordi
nary care and skill needed to produce
ceitlfled milk. Hut In every Instance
where men with a good market at band
liave produced extra milk they have
secured extra prices for It The estab
lishments which supply such milk are
profitable, and their trade Is expand
ing right along. Another point brought
out Is that consumers are liecomlng
more critical In their tastes. More of
them understand what good milk Is
and that it Is worth more than ordi
nary or Inferior milk. All this Is en
couraglug to the producers of a good
article. May their tribe Increase!
Individual farmer's ditches are re
quired to convey the water from com
munity laterals to places on the area to
be Irrigated, from which It can be must
advantageously spread over the ground
for the Irrigation of tbe various crops.
These ditches should generally follow
the ridges and higher contour of the
area to bo watered, and great care
should be exercised In their location,
so that all the luud can be covered.
Large areas of crops are frequently
burned up through tbe careless and
faulty location of these smull ditches.
Tbe diverting works on lateral and
Individual ditches are most often wood
en boxes wltb sliding regulating gates.
In tbe case of uneven and rolling
ground It la frequently found necessary
to divert water from several places on
the main lateral to secure the proper
Irrigation of a single farm. The proper
location of all distributing ditches Is
possible only after a very careful study
of tbe topography of the grouud In
each particular case.
Tbe Irrigator having his stream of
waUr In bis own lateral, which la con
structed across tbe highest part of fie
Held to be covered. Is now ready for Its
actual application to the growing
crops. If bis laud Is very favorably
located, with comparatively uniform
sloix-s, bis lateral la probably In a
straight line across tbe upper end or
side of bis field, with tbe greatest slops
of the land at right auglea to It If bla
land has uot so uniform a surface, bis
lateral may follow Its Irregular contour
or be kept straight by diking It across
the low places. In general the lateral
ditches, from which actual application
of tbe water to the crop Is accomplish
ed, should follow the line of least de
scent from tbe highest point of tbe
field, tbe greatest slopes being perpen
dlculnr to them. J. C. Ulrlch.

Just the same as quality In milk, and
quality In milk Is Just as Important aa
quantity In the making of cheese. In
other words, the total amount of fat In
the milk Is as good a mensiire of Its
cheeseiunklng value as It Is possible to

Is necessarily the bent butter cow, and
the best butter cow Is necessarily the

however, (lint at all times It Is advisa
ble to make extra rich milk Into cheese,
because there are times when more
money can be got out of It by making

Tka Black Hailed Kafllr Cora.
The white bulled variety of Kafllr
corn baa been eutirely suppluuted by
tbe black hulled variety In bis section
of Oklahoma, according to a writer In
Farm, Field and Fireside, who saya:
Tbere ta scarcely a perceptible differ
ence In tbe grain, but one baa a black
bull or chaff, while tbe other baa
white bull or chaff.
While thla la tbe only difference In
outward appearance, except tbe black
hulled grows a little taller, the real
difference la of much more Importance
and makes the black bulled of much
greater worth.
If a dry spell occurs at the time of
beading, growth la then slow or stops
altogether, and tbe bead of the white
bulled variety often falls to push en
tlrely out from tbe encircling leaves
commonly known as the boot or
sheath. Tbe part of tbe head not push
ed out fails to produce grains If It re
mains dry, or If rains come they are
quite apt to rot, and so a light yield Is
bad. Tbe black bulled variety, having
a longer stalk or stem to the head, sel
dom falls to push the bead clear of tbe
encircling boot or sheath, and so the
whole bead forma alike and cornea tc
maturity.
This doea not Imply that there Is
never a failure or partial fnllure, but
the chances are best wltb black bulled
white KafQr for a good crop.

We bave grown considerable barley
In past years, and we think It pays to
grow It for feeding stock, especially
bogs. Ilarley almost always yields fair
ly well and Is not as bard on our land
as oats, writes a farmer to Tbe Nation
al Stockman.
The time for sowing barley la Just
is early In spring as the soil can be
properly fitted, and It pays to fit tbe
toil well. I have seen quite good yields
ef barley which was sown very late,
but as a rule the earlier It can be sown
the better. Again, tbe time to sow de-
ends on weather conditions and loca
tion. Here In central Michigan we can
usually sow our barley from first to
middle of April.
We plow our ground In the spring
and think one year wltb another this
Is the best time to pic w, as the ground
can be worked to a nice seed bed eas
ier and quicker.
The time of ripening Is Just about
tbe same as wheat, sometimes a few
days before and sometimes a little lat
er, and the yield of course depends
on condition of weather, richness of
soil, etc. I do not think that the old
fashioned bearded barley yields quite
as much aa the beardless barley. In
1N07 a measured acre yielded for us
SiH bushels by machine measure. Ity
weight It went considerably over these
figures, and In 1X18 about 30 bnshels
by machine or from a thrashing ma
chine. The amount of seed used both years
was as near ino pounds per acre as tbe
drill would sow. The beardless barley
grows somewhat larger than the old
variety and stands np better, and In re
gard to handling we would Just as soon
handle this bsrley as wheat and rather
handle It than bearded wheat to say
nothing of bearded barley. Of course
the ground for barley should be rich,
as poor ground will not give good yield
of barley or anything rise. If farmers
would grow more barley, I think they
would he well paid, for barley makes
fine bog feed.
OATS I VARIOUS STAGS Or SMUT.
hot water treatment of seed, which Is
one of tbe Important remedies wltb
wheat and oats. The two large kettles
or barrels should hold 30 gallons where
treatment Is oil a large rcale. No. 1
containing warm water, 110 to 120 de
grees F.. Is for the purpose of warm
ing the seed before dipping it Into tbe
second, which contains hot water at
132 to 133 degrees F. I' ideas precau
tion Is taken It Is difficult to keep the
water In the second vessel at tbe prop
er temperature. A pall of cold water
and a kettle of tolling water should
be kept at band to draw from wben
necessary to raise or lower the tem
perature.
The seed, at the rate of bnlf a bushel
or more at a time, is placed In a bushel
basket made of heavy wire wltb wire
netting spread Inside. A pole or beam
having a bole at one end la passed over
a peg In the top of the first post The
bole should be large enough to allow
the pole te lie moved up and down and
side wise. By swinging tbe pole
around the basket can be filled at the
bin, then Immersed a moment in ves
sel No. 1, and then swuug over to ves
sel No. 2. where tbe grain la treated
ten minutes. Every minute or so tbe
basket must be raised entirely out of
tbe water and allowed to drain. Tbe
pole can be supiHirted on a peg In tbe
second post. Finally the pole Is lifted
entirely over tbe second post and the
grain removed and spread out to dry,
In dipping the grain Into the warm
water tbe basket Is Immersed, lifted
and allowed to drain, then plunged
again, and so on, but less than a wlO'
ute la given to this preparatory treat
racnt
The Important points are as follows
(1) Maintain the proper temperature
of the water (132 to 133 degrees F.),
In no case allowing It to rise higher
than 133 d:rees or to fall below 130;
(21 see that the volume of hot water Is
at least six or eight times greater than
that of the seed treated at any time;
(3) never completely fill the basket or
sack used for treating tbe seed, but
leave room for the grain to move about
freely; (4) leave the seed ten minutes
In the vessel of bot water.
In drying treated seed spread the
grain In a layer two or three Inches
deep and shovel over twice a day. A
clean floor Is a good place on which to
dry the grain, but it is better to put
It on canvas sheets, spread In tbe sun
upon latticework a few feet from tbe
ground, as this greatly facilitates dry
ing. In tbe latter case the sheets, wltb
the grain, can be taken In at night
Tbe grain can be sown broadcast be
fore being thoroughly dry, but In case
sdrllllsused.it mustbenearly dry. The
seed may be treated months before be-

Mr. C. S. Teaslee. the well-known druggist of
Morgan City, La., is highly thought of in his neigh
borhood because of bis skill and care in filling pre
scriptions. The best physicians in the place send
their patients to Ilia ttore whenever they can. Any
thing which Mr. PeasU-e may say can be depended
upon absolutely. In a letter to W. H. Hooker &
Co., New York City, proprietors of Acker's EnKlish
Remedy, he says: In all my many years' expert
nee as a drugt, have never handled a medi
cine of any nature that Rave such complete satis

iMVtles, and have yet to learn of a single case
where it failed to cure. In

take much stock in medi
cine, but she lias absolute
faith in Acker's English
Kemedy, always having it
at hor elbow in case the
children are attacked by
croup at night. It is a
positively harmless rem

testify. I know of a little
girl who accidentally drank a whole hot tie. She

in better health than ever before. 1 can understand whv Artr'. vrii.h pm.

but a strengthening, invigorating tonic as well. While It heals the irritation
of the mucous membrane, it also builds up the Constitution and purifies the
