Shade In the Pnetnre.
Two years ago an experiment was
made with a view to ascertaining what
profit there was In providing some com
fort for milch cows In the pasture. The
nasture was so located that It was Im
possible to give tree shade of any kind,
so a rough structure was erected with
boards, open on all sides, but hooded
in such a manner that some portion of it
was at all times shaded. By the use
of some piping the current of a stream
of water was carried Into troughs, so
that the cows at all times bad a supply
of cool, fresh water. The pasture was
situated on lowland, and as a conse
quence files were very numerous and
annoying. It was found profitable to
use light blankets make of unbleached
muslin, arranged so that they could be
buttoned around the neck and come
down over each leg to the ankle. Later
In the season, as these summer blan
kets became soiled, the fly remedies, of
which there are several good ones on
the market, were used with splendid
success. The result of the experiment
showed conclusively that It was profit
able In dollars and cents to provlds
thtse summer comforts for the cows.
The flow of milk was materially In
creased, and In quality much improved.
ThlB last statement may seem a little
peculiar, as quality 1 b supposed to be
entirely the result of the food, but it Is
surprising how much the quality of
milk Is affected by the disposition of
the cow.
Commercial Fertilizer*.
We remember hearing some one ask
an old farmer and a very successful
one why he did not keep more stock
and not have to buy so much commer
cial fertilizer. His reply was, “If I
kept twice as many animals I should
probably buy twice as much fertilizer.”
We think he had the correct Idea of
the proper use of commercial fertiliz
ers. They are a substitute for barn
yard manure only when barnyard man
ure cannot be obtained in sufficient
quantities to utilize the land and the
laltor that can be had to a profitable
limit. They will serve to grow a good
crop which will help to buy more stock
or to feed more animals, and thus cre
ate barnyard manure upon the farm.
They help to use land and labor that
would be unproductive, or nearly so,
if the land was not fertilized, but they
are seldom more profitable than when
used as an addition or supplement to
the barnyard manure. They serve to
give the mineral elements thitt are
lacking In the manure and the soil, and
they give them in an available form.
Of course, to have them do this one
must choose his fertilizer so that it
will be adapted to the soil and crop,
and fill the wants that the barnyard
manure does not.—American Cultiva
tor.
Ito Apples Pay?
A correspondent In the fruit district
of New York, who for twenty years
has been growing apples, writes that
after a thorough trial be Is convinced
there Is no money In apples. Another
correspondent located less than twenty-

the story. The man who gets but 7B
