Public Dairy Contents. fEural New Yorter.1 "Will-it ever be possible to arrange a set of rules governing the testa of dairy cows that will please everybody? It seems hara Jy possibly, after reading the interesting articles on the subject printed, elsewhere. On a few points all agree, while there are sharp cinerences on others, it seems set tled that the best cow ia a business cow. The prize coald go to the cow showing the widest difference between the value of her milk product and tbe cost of the food which produced it. There is no disaent from this proposition. All appear to agree that a record of the food consumed by the animal for a week previous to the contest should be kept, Tne Jersey men would evidently wish to confine tne test to butter alone, pajin? lesi regard to the skim-milk of calves. The Holstein men suggest that, as skiru-iiit and srood calves have com mercial values, they should, in some way, be counted in the cow's product. We think this idea is just. The skim-milk: fed to good calves is certainly worth something, and should be measured and its value counted il the test is to be of practical use to those who propose to save tbe entire product of the cow. we do not exactly sse now wna. we may call the calf-prod nein qiality of the cow can be measured. We should say that the folio no2 p.an would be 11st to all: If the test is to be for twenty-four hours, let all tbe cows b fed under the eves of the commi-tee .'or one week previcuato the test Let the cost of the food : given during the sve days of preparation and the one day of tes divided by eight. represent the cost of tha milk product. Let every specimen of milk be treated by the earre process. Let the batter and skim milk be valued at given prices per pound. Xet each cow's product be reduced this way to dollars and cents. Subtract from the re: ult the amount charged to the cow for feed. Give the przj to the cow with the best business showing. Cannot a test be arrarged on this basis? It will take longer and require more care and skill, but it will give more general satisfaction and leave lets grounds for complaint. Bye tor Fall and Sprint; Pasturage. Philadelphia Becord. live Is cot only valuable for its grain - and straw, bat it can not be excelled as a crop for law pasturage in the fall when other green food is scarce, while It also s grows early in the spring and enables stock to secure green food before anything makes a start. II rjeitnoula be estimated entire ly as a forage plant the result would noi be altogether in its favor, as there are other . and more desirable materials for that pur pose, but its place can not easily be filled in some respects. Lata in the fall the farmer usually has his barn well stored with grain and hay, and cares very little . about (rye as a special food, but it is well .Known that as long as tbe stock can pro cure a proportion of green food there is greater inrift, and mucacows rive a larger rjuantity of milk, owing to the dietary eflects oi tne green lood. L nless the farmer have ensilage his stock must subsist on the cured dry provender provided for them. bat if he have a field of rye he can either pasture the cows upon it or cut it for them, if it be of sufficient height, accord ing to the proportion required. If the ground be made rich the grazing on the aye will do it no harm, as it will grow up again and provide a crop of grain at the proper time; but car thonld b taken that the rye be cot trampled too much, lu ad dition to late grazing, as soon as the erfow is on the ground in the spring the rve fur nishes early green food, which is always an acceptable treat to stock that have been ftd on dry food durinsr the Ions winter. and in these respects the rye crop is one of the best It shortens the time on which train and hay are fed exclusive v.

Under this title Er. J, C. Arthur gives in the report of the botanist to the New York experimental station, a list of all the leadiai references to pear bliebt he had been able to find.

Mulching and Cultivating. f American Agriculturist.! Experience has abundantly snowa that mulching tbe ground not only adds to its fertility by the decay of the mulch itself, but it also contains a large amount oi am monia from the air. All have aseryel tbat toil covered with molch keeps nore porous and triable then when exposed to tha tun and drying wiuas. r.iriawormi contribute toward fertility by their holes. through which the air eas ly penetrates, impartibg fertility, which the soil obsorbs. A piece of ground, a part of whisa had been in strawberries, and mulched with salt bay for three years, showed a great advantage from the mulch. When ploughed this mulch part broke up very nneiy, while the other part was very lumpy. It was all planted with corn the same day, which came up in five days on the mulched portion, and was about two weeks coming up on the rest, and much of it failed to come up at ait ins alter culture was alike, yet there was a much more vigor ous growth on the part which naa oeen mulched. Boils not only have the powers of obsorbing ammonia from the air bat "al so from water that holds it in solution. By retaininc!the water so enriched, mulch aods to the fertility of the soil. Baaiiei the advantage already mentioned. It is an easy way to keep clear of weeds. The hay from salt marshes is excellent ror this pur rose, but where it is expensive or incon venient to procure, other material will b found serviceable. Getting Oat Firewood. ICorrespon denes Gauntry Gentlemen. If thoroughly seasoned firewood is want ed for winter, August is the proper time to cut down the timber. It should be cut down merely, and let lie until autumn be fore it is sawed and split The foliage 01 timber cut now draws all the sap from the wood, which, being thus rid of all mois ture by tbe absorption of the leaves, dries out thoroughly. Ehould the limbs and folic ge be stripped from timber cat now, the wood is spoiled for fuel or for building purposes. Jn cutting out lire wood it is Important that no good salable timber tree be destroyed. It is good policy, even in a wellwooded country like the Eastern States, to handle timber with economy, and pay bo rue attention to trie preservation of the forest Cut out for fuel only the dead, de caying, crooked and defective timber, and leave the good timber and the young and thrifty trees to row and increase ia value. There is generally plentv of rubbish tim ber About a farm tbat is he for scarcely anything e'.Ee than fuel. It makes room for the young timber to gro to get this out of the way. Cut up all the tree tops left in gettlcg out rails and building ma terial. Clean your wood lind f jr the in ferior timber. It is good enough for fire wood, and only goes to waste let alone. Do not destroy the good and thrifty treed. Let no timber lie. to rot and waste. Advantages of soiling. (Americas Agriculturist.) Tbe practice of soiling is adaa'ed for high-priced lands near large cities where the market for milk and hue batter affords a sufficient compensation for the large investment of capital aud other ex penses which pertain to highly improved localities. As seven acres of pasture are required, on anavergae, tosnpportonecow in iuiiy prontanie condition, it will not pay to feed cows in this way where land coets more than $100 per acre, and indeed $59 per acre may be made the limit of cost in this respect Where lands are cheap the products of it are also cheap, and where the land ia more costly, necessarilv the products are dearer in proportion. Hence the dairyman whose farm costs nira four to ten times as much as that of a Western or Southern farmer, cannot possibly compete with him in making but ter and cheese, because the cost of transporting these products to market by rail is much less than the dillerenca in cost. Again, our not, dry summers very quickly burn up the pastures, and in July the feed becomes bald and snarse and the milk product necessarily rapidly decreases. Hence, some adequate provision must be made to meet this emergency, and nothing selves so well as what are known as soiling crops, which are cut and carried to the cows on their pastures to help out the feed, or to the yards or feeding lots, where they are kept and fed wholly upon this ereen foe aar. A very large product of milk of he best quality is thus procured, and the rows are kept up to their productive ab! 1 5 by abundance of succulent food, helped by me ose oi Euca conceniraiea iooas as can be purchased cheaply, and are suitable for the production of milk of excellent analitv. The average product of the cows may thus be easily doubled, while the increased cost of the aervice is not more than one-fourth, or in many cases not one-tenth. Turnips In the Cornfield. IRural World.! A fair crop of English turnips can be raised in a cornfield without detriment to the latter. This variety, known among farmers as the "flat turnip," is a rapid grower. Light frosts do not Injure it. so il continues to increase in size until the surface of the ground freezjs. The seeds can be sown as lat ) as tke 20th of this month. They should be scattered snarselv in the center of the space between the rows. If thiy is done just before a smart shower the seeds will need no covering, otherwise it would be well to scratch the ea'th lightly with an iron-tooth garden rake. There is danger of puttin? In so much seed that the plants will crowd and choke each other. They should be at least from twelve to fourteen inches apart, and when only enough seed is nsed to accomplish this result the only labor rf quired will be to sow the seed and harvest the crop. This variety of turnip Is not so val uable for feeding as rutabagas, and will not keep as well, but the farmer who has a flock of sheep or young slock will find them valuabia for keeping the animals in thrifty condition when they come to the barn at the first of winter. Theorists claim that they are of the least possible value on account of containing so large a proportion of water, but farmers who have tried the experiment have learned that cattle and sheep, particularly if kept upon coersa fodder, thrive much better when they take meir water m tau iorm. Dominiques and Plymouth Rocks, Henry Hale, in r.ursl New Yorker. I have been asked to state in what respect the Plymouth Rock is better than the old Dominique fowl. This Is a question that requires some explanation to be fairly understood. Tbe old Dominique is one of tbe earliest American breeds. Although not mentioned by Dement in hia poultry book published in 1315, it soon afterward came to be recognized as a valuable variety, and by 1655 was quite commonly known, and the birds were very highly praised as being hardy, fine for the table and good layers. W ben carefully bred they have generally maintained these qualities. Certainly as table fowls they stand next to the Dorkings and Houdans. They are long-lived fowls, strong and hardy after chickenhocd. But now comes the point: All the old breeds, or what are generally termed the email breeds, exclusive of the A li&tica, are tender to raise, compared with tbe strcrg, tough chicks of the Asiatic b?ocd, and this was more severely felt in our colü Eastern States, and people weie not alow in noticing how many more chick of the Brahma and Cochin bieeds and their crosses survived, but as the pure-bred Asiatics were to 9 low in maturing, crosses were found mere profitable for market fowls, especi-

ally with the Dominique, as they grew

faster, feathered earlier, and were free from ailments. These tacts soon suggested tbe idea of having a pure, distinct variety of fowls that would combine the good qualities of the Dominique with the hardiness of tbe Asiatics. As to what particular bred of Asiatics the Plymouth Bocks are descended from, tbere is little room for doubt but that the Black Java was one, and so, in all probability, was the Dark Brahma. Several different type? appeared when the "American Standard of Excellence" established certain points to aim at in breeding, and which brought about a uniformity of this variety. Now tbe question Is, what has been gained in this breed oyer the Dominique? Fir3t, size; second, hardiness of chickens; third, quick matcrity of broilers. In mv exveiience, I am unable to aid more. I kept Dominiques for years and found them good layers. After keeping Plymouth Backs six years. 1 did not rind that they gave mere eggs, iut 1 did had them more inclined to sit than tbe Dominiques. They are not ss good table fowls when matured S3 the Dominique, and tbey are mach shorter-lived, appearing aged at two or three years old, while the Dominique is then in its prime. Preparing Corn Land f jr Wheat. 1 Correspondence Kansas Farmor.l Where a system of rotation with wheat, corn, oats, hay, grain or clover Is followed, it will sometimes be found a good plan to have wheat follow corn. It the corn has been properly cultivated and kept clean and the soil mellow, corn land can be very easily prepared in a good condition for fall seeding to wheat. I am satisfied that in a majority of seasons it pays to cultivate corn reasonably late, at least until as far as possible the crop is assured, and especially should this be done when we are intending to follow the earn with wheat If this plan has been followed the corn ought tobe clean of we ads aul the soil reasonably mellow. I always make it a rule to cat the corn close to- the ground. This In a great measura doas away with the interference in preparing the land by the stubs of the cornstalks. If only a small acreage of corn land is to be seeded to wheat, I should certainly advif e cutting and hauling off. Three men and one team will get the corn oS very rapidly, and the ground is then in a much better condition to seed to wheat Unless you are better prepared than the average farmer a large acreage would be difficult to cleanup in this way, so that the next best plan mu3t be adopted, and that is to cut and tet ip the corn in g Kidsized shocks, making the rows straight so that as much of the land as possible can be seeded. An A?ms or one of the disc barrows can nearly always be used to good advantage in preparing land far wheat If these can not be had conveniently, the, common farm harrow can be utfcd. I prefer toharrow the way the com was plowed or cultivated the last time, is the first harrowing breaks the crusts and loosens up tbe surfaca. The cross-harrowing levels the soli and loosens it up much more thoroughly than if harrowed across the rows first at least that is my experience. Much depends upon the soil how many barrowings may be necessary in order to sufficiently fiae the surface for seeding to wheat. Bat safliiient wo'k Ehould be done to fine tbe soil to a sufficient depth to famish a mellow bed for tbe seed, both to insure germination and covering. I prefer always to use the drill for seeding; the seed is sown so much more evenly and at a mora uniform depth than can possibly be done by band, that I consider it pays to use tbe drill. Inside?, drilling saves time, and in the fall when work is nearly always pressing this is something of an object. I like to have land seeded to wheat re as onably clean and thoroughly prepared in a good condition, and the expense of one or more harrowincs. wen'd be a small item if ii is nfs?ary to a proper preparation of the soil. A Clean Hoc;. f Practical Farmer. Tbe hog can probably endure as much hardship as any of our domesticated ani mals, but is this any reason why it should receive abuse, or be subjected to hardship in any form? We taink not No one of our animals more promptly responds to kind treatment and clean eurrdundinz3 k than the hog. It is popularly considered J filthy. This arises from the fact that the hog is usually confined to filthy Quarters. Is this the fault of the hog or of its owner? Why are its quarters filthv? Thev wth clean when the hog was first put Into them. v as ii tne natural mthiness of the hog above otner animals mat make its Quarters filthy, or was itowing to the narrow limits in waicn it was conhnsd? what could it do in Etch quarters but make them filthy? riue. the hog likes to roll In the mire in hot weather. Sa does the cow like to Staad in tne running stream, pond or mire in hot weather. The hog will take to clean water if it can get ft Bath do this for the eame reason because of the grateful coolness of the moisture and the fact that the portions of tne animal organism under water are free from the annoyance of flies. This hog, like the bovine, alEO likes to lie in the cool shade. Give both a fair chance to keep clean, and they will do so. Confiae them in too narrow limits, aud they will get filthy. Given equal chances, and theie is not much difference between the two. But the custom is to crowd the ho? into narrow quarters and compel it to remain there. Lacking human reason. It may not do tbe bt st thing possible to keep clean in its confined tome; but in this retpectit will not display much more lack of reason and hog sense than its owner in not providing more ample room and better natural facilities for keeping clean. Give the hog a clean bed, with free locomotion, and it will keep it clean. Giva it a wild field of clover to roam and root In, and it will keep itself clean, healthy and thrifty. Both the hog and the owner will be benefitted by the comparatively wide range and the sicculent, nitrogenous food available far the use of the Log. A little corn meal, and it will have all it needs, and be as happy and respectable as well-bred hogs should be. It will put on muscle as well ai fat aud develop a healthful meat for the food of the genus homo. So do not complsin of the filtbiness ot the hog, and condemn it to wallow in uncleanliness, until yon have given it a decent chance to be a decent hog. I!t Stock Notes. The color oi pure Devon cattle is red, very 1 Eg from a rich dark to a pale chestnut . Tbe Dorvet is a horned breed of sheep which baa been preserved intact for a long time, chiefly in Dorset and Somersetsaires, in the South of England. The original EbecD was much smaller in size than the improved Dorsets of to-day. Cleanliness and condition will not prevent swine-plague when animals are exposed to it, but it will decrease the risk of disease. The sanitary condition of animals needs looking after just as much it does for people to preserve health. The famous cow Electa, for which her owner, A. J. Cowan of Venango county, Pennsylvania, once refnsed flO.OOO, was sold by him to an Oil City batcher the other day for $50, she hiving been ruined by over-feeding. Although this cow stood at the head of all milk producers in this country a few years ago, her psdigree was never known. She came to the Cowan family as an estray. She was a famous prize-winner. Breeders have yet to be convinced that differences I,; soils have much to do with aheep-raising, and especially with the breed one should keep. As one has forcibly said, there are soils adapted to each breed. W had as well study this point welL There are men adapted to each breed of sheep; some for various reasons ought to raise

wool. There are men adapted to raising

mutton breeds and crosses. There are special reasons for each of these classes of cheep. Should it not be so Important to get early pigs the latter spring and early summer would be machine best time so have sows farrow. Both, sows and pigs do better now, especially if allowed to run in grass or clover. They will live and thrive on this with verr little other feed. The green grass diet keeps the sow from becoming too fat and prevents danger of fever. As soon as the pigs are dropped give the sow warm bran mashes, and after a lew aays add grain or meal, but let her run at grass aud pick np as much of her living aa ah 9 will.

Rotation in crops is the surest and safest plan in farming, and when one or two years of pasture shall be included in the rotation the benefits will be still greater. The successful establishment of creameries and cheese factories inIisiissippi and other Southern states, has given a new impetus to dairy interests in the South. The annual honey crop is about 100.000,OOO pounds, and its value ia probably about $10,000,000. This would give for the aasual value of the production of honey and bees-wax about $16,000.000. Americm Bae Journal. A few lumps of charcoal with a box of wood ashes placed in a hog pen will prevent many ills arising from indigestion in hogs. The charcoal should be fresh. Old charcoal may be renewed by heating it in the stove for a few minutes. While horned cattle are always profitable to raise, a dock of sheep is equally or more profitable. Both cattle and sheep have a place on the farm, and that is tbe best farm, and the owner is the best farmer, where both animals are found side by aide. The more important point in making pigs profitable is to make them useful. To a limited extent this ia done by making the pig a scavenger for the removal of refuse that would otherwise become even more offensive than when it passes through the pig. Store beets, carrots,- parsnips and turnips in bins in the cellar, and pack them in dry sand or earth, and they will keep well for winter use. This method will eaablethe farmer to use them at anytime, which will not be the case ii they be stored in mounds in the open air. For growing cucumbers, squashes or similar plants put sawdust or rotten wood about them. Those who have never tried cucumbers on strong bushy stakes like pea sticks will be surprised to note how they enjoy it Tomatoes do better trained to stout sticks than any other way. The New England Farmer tell3 of a farmer who made a fortune the past season from thirty acres of onions. Others should not go into onion raising to excels because of his unusual success. He stored his crop of 4,000 bushels for the laTger sprin pi ici, and met with good success. Meadows that hare ceased to give good crops may be renewed cheaply by turning the sod eoon after catting, then harrow thoroughly at intervals for a for tn: git, and before autumn rams rested with timothy and such other varieties of grass as may be tutted to soil and situation.

In using tarred paper for roofs consideration must be given to the fact thatualets the paper be securely fastened so that the wind cannot get uader it the roof wiil be easily destroyed during the prevalence of a very high wind. Paper roofs are excellent, provided they be properly put on. Sassafras is a nuisance in any field, but it cannot be destroyed very easily except by cnibbingit out removing all the roots. Being a hardy and persistent plant it must be killed in its youtger stages. 11 allowed a c-i.-a X xii n . -) I WJ UVCiiUU a UCia ll. mil email uoiujr a much labor as is required to clear new land from brush. All kinds of honey plants are not favor able to all locations; the basswood will not grow where it is wet and marshy. In such places willow, golden-rod and Spanishneedles grow abunaaniiy, ana iu sucn io cali ties bees may have very little surplus in the early part of the season, while in autumn they will have every call filled ffith the most delicious honey. The expensive tools necessary to successful farming soon wear out unless well taken cars of. A little thoughtnl care in housing tools when not ia use will result in many dollars 6aved. During the season of use, when housing ia hardly practicable, whenever work ceases tor a day, a canvas to throw over a self-binder or threshing machine will pay for its cost many times over, An increase In the corn average of ihi country over last year of about 1,500.000 acres, or 2 per cent , is estimated by the department of agriculture. The average condition of winter wheat is 95.7 per cent., and of f pnng wheat is 79 3. Other average conditions are reported as follows: Corn, 9!); winter rye, 83; spring rye, 8i 3; barley, 82 8; oats. 91; potatoes, 93; tobacco, Si; cotton, 97. Grease of any kind will destroy lice on cattle, but the use of grease to a great extent will injure the cattle. If a single animal be infested with lice all the others will soon be in the same condition. A pound of carbonate of lime mixed with a bU3hel of fine, dry dirt freely scattered oa the backs of the animals is a harmless remedy, and will prove successful if used daily.

An exchange remarks that a poor, neglected flock can be brought ud by proper care and feed, and mado to improve from year to year, but great care must be exer cised in the selection of rams. In breeding it is not neceesary, but it ia much better than selecting a poor, scrawny, ill-bred ram from another strain. A loag-legäd, long-necked, thin-wooled buck is dear property at any price I Wheat fed whole to laying fowls, and wheat Ecrecnings or cracked wheat fed t) yourg chicks, have always produced the mobt desirable results, though it must b9 remembered that it must not be used in the same quantities as corn, or preparations of corn. Tbe tendency of wheat ia to produce a healhty growth, feed tha muscular tissues and aid materially ia causing the hens to lay often and rich eggs.
