Taking tliis text from a rccont lottor
from tho De Laval Scparator Conipany,
HoanVs Dairyman prcachos o dlecourBo
cvcry farnior should hearund hecd:
"Tho provolling uuprecedcutcdly
and uuoxpcctcdly low buttor pricos will
Bcrvo to tcach ono sound, wbolcsomo
lceson in economlcal creumcry opora
tion, evou If a sovoro and unwolconio
ono. Almost any eort of mauagcmont
and any soit of apparatus has euabled
a crcatuory to oxist at past pricoa ovon
though tho wasto was greatcr than tho
proflt8, otc."
Tho Do Laval Oompany aro talking
about crcnniory tuanagemont and how
tho very best ocononiy and niost skill
ful mauagcmont aro rcquired to kcop
from distrceslug loea.
Apply tho doctrino to tho dairy
farmor, whero it is twice aa truo as iu
tho croamery.
When buttor is worth twonty-flvo to
thlrty conts, a poor cow rnay possibly
bring hor ownor out ovon. Whero is
8ho and hor ownor to-day?
With buttor al thlrty cente, a poor
cow and a farmcr who doos not caro to
bo rnado intolligcnt on tho rnany ini
portant dairy questions niay possibly
como out ovcu. But whoro will tho
poor cow and the poor dairyman, with
his contompt for botter knowlcdgo, ap
ponr to-day? Every man ought to seo
that thcso aro timcs when only good
swimmers can kcop their heads abovo
tho wator. Tho romedy is not to sneor
nt tho good Bwimmor and his knowledgo
of swimming, but try to learn how to
Bwim.
Now is a splendid timo for overy
farmor who keops cows to stop and ask
himseif a fcw questions.
1. Ara I studying this dairy business
down to a flnc point, as I ought to.
2. Am I lmproving my mind, my
judgment nnd all, as a man ought who
must undorstand modorn dairying?
3. Am I lookiug into this cow ques
tion? Do I know really very much
about my cows? Havo I takou any
real Bensiblo pains to mako a tost of
them, bo I can get rid of tho poor, un
profltablo oucs?
4. Butter is low; cloar down to what
it costs u wolHnformed man to produco
it. Can I afford to go along just bb I
havo done, lol thcso niauy years, with
out making auyspecial effortto become
a woll-inforni d dairyman?
5. IlouriVs Dairyman has told me all
this, timo and again. It has becn a
truc, faithful fricnd. It never llattors
me, but alwnys tries to iustruct me.
Cau I afford to pay no alteution to its
wamiugs?
0, I know, if I know nnything, that I
must iose mouoy overy ufiy uuless I
havo a hord of good cows and handle
them as a wiso dairyman should. If I
know this, should I not brace up and
strive to put better thinking, moro
tbought and study into tho busiuosB?
Hard, blind labor wou't save me. I
must manage this hord of cowb better.
If every dairy farmcr in the United
States would put theao questions fairly
and honestly to himBclt for tho noxt
thirty days, low prices would be worth
millions to tho couutry.
The difflculty can bo seon with half
an oyo overywhero. Tho grcat mass of
men who aro kecpiug cows aro putting
but very little eound dairy knowledgo
into tho business. If they woro well
informed dalrymen, does any man sup
pose they would keep Buch a lot of
poor, unprofltablo cows? Of course not.
A woll-iuformed man would got rid of
the poor cowb at onco. Ho would use
his knowledse to flnd out which of
thoso cows was cheatlng him. Here
is whore intelligcncc stepB in.
These hard tiines are turninga white
light on tho whole of us. Whether it is
in printing ofllces or on dairy farmB,
we must use sound knowledge and lots
of it to tide ovcr. Tho more nowspa
pers we issue below cost, and more
cows we keop that aro constantly run
ning us in debt, tho worso wo aro get
ting every day. What is tho remedy?
More and better knowledge of our busi
uesB. There are lots of nowspaper men
and dairy farmers who nover yet really
set about to know what their business
mcans, or what must bo dono to keep
it up in times of ' hard sledding." Ono
farmor tho other dav put tho qucstion
in its riht light. Ho said that for
years ho cconomized on knowlcdgo and
wasted on cows until ho was near bank
rupt. Sinco he had tried it the other
way, he had beon twico as happy and
pro8perous. Theso aro right profitable
days forBtudy. Wo can't hope to make
much money; but wo may be ablo,
with a little better dairy senso, to save
a lot of money.
Bcnns as a Fleld Crop.
W. W. Tracy of Michigan, an exten
sivo groworof beans, sends the Country
Gentleman tho following valuablo arti
cle on tho valuc and cultivation of this
crop:
Although tho prico of beans is now
verv low, I think that when planted on
suitablc soil and judiciously cultivated
they are still a comparativoly profltablo
crop.
The verv productivo plant is a vigor
ous, healthy grower, and by its widoly
extended rootsystem iB ablo to collect
tho necessary food and moisture to do
well on soils which aro too dry and
loose for tho best dovelopmont of most
Dlants. It is. nowovor, very suscep
liblo to injury from ap ovorabundanco
of water, and suffers more than most
from anv breakiug or mutilation of tho
root through crocking of the Boil or
deep cultivation after tho plantB havo
started; and wo neod not look for a
full crop trom a cold, wot soil, or one
that cracks badly during a droulh, nor
can wo liopo for iroou roturns wnon tne
plants havo been injurcd by deop cul-
vation.
On tho other hand, it is esscntial t(
tho best dovelopmout of this crop that
tho 11 old bo in tho best posslblo tiltli,
and It will not do well it tho soil is al
lowcd to becomn compact and hard
Tho plant does not seem ablo to raak(
crudo and frcsh manuros available, dc
ing better in a soil mado rich by drcsE-
tngs applleu uunng tnc prccemng
rather than tlie current year. Uf tn
tbree elomonts of plant food, nitrogen
phosphoric acid and potash, it scems to
supply itsolf most oaslly with tho flrst;
so that woll-rotted stablo manuro or
fortllizors rich in casilv solublo phos
phoric acid and potash glvo tho best
returns.
Turning now from tho consldoratlon
of tho naturo of tho plant. a knowlcdgo
of which is always CBsontial to its most
profltablo culturo. to tho practlcal
lossons of oxpcrionce, wo flnd that
ijcnns do best on a rich, wolwirainou
soil coutaiuing enough clay or loam to
hold tho plant food devoloped in it,
and yct with suillciont sand or fino
gravol to mako it lrlablo and loose.
Boaus can bo raiscd, and somotimoB
profltably, on almost any Boil, from a
hcavy clay to a light sand, providod it
bo rich, woll-dralued and can bo mado
friablo by propcr haudling.
As to conditlon, a hcavy sod is tho
most dcsirablo. It iB doubtful if tho
application of any fottilizor to a rich
ueld lu good conditlon will so incrcaso
tho yiolu of beans as to bo profltably
used for this crop. But on a poorcr
Boil, particularly if it bo in etubblo, a
libcral droseing of well-rottod stablo
manuro well workcd into tho surfacoin
lato fall or carly spring is ofton tho so
crot of a profltablo crop. If commer
cial foitilizors aro to bo used, wood
ashes, potash salls and flne ground bono
aro the bost, and thoy should bo applied
oarly in spring lu order to becomo
available.
Tho fleld of sod should bo plowod
lato in tho fall, and carly in tho spring
gono over with a disc or cutting har
row, and this should bo repeatcd, each
timo stirring tho soil to a greator dcptb,
overy week or ten days till tho crop is
planted. If fallplowingis impracticablo,
turn tho sod ovor as earlyas possiblo in
tho spring, roll it, and then uso tho
cutting-harrow as beforo, taking caro
not to cut into and turn up tho sod.
Stubblo ground should be treated in
thesame way, cxcept that it should bo
gono ovor with a cultivator boforo tho
flrst plowing, and a spring-tooth or
other deep-working cultivator should
be used.
It may seem as though I wero calling
for an unnecessary and useless prepara
tion for the crop; but I havo been con
vlnced by tho careful inspoction and
study of from flvo to ton thousand
acres of beans yearly that tho bean crop
is a profltablo onc about in tho propor
tion to which all necessary working of
tho soil is dono boforo the sced is
planted, when it cau bo done cheaply
and without injury to tho roots of tho
plants.
In tho latitudo of Now York aud
Michigan, the best timo to plant beans
is cenorally from Mav 20 to Juno 20,
though eomo of tho largest and best
crops wo have over kuown havo como
from plantings mado both earller and
later. They may be planted in hills or
drille, accordiug to tho taste and habits
of tho farrocr, I prcfer to plant in
drills about tweulyeiKht iuches apart
and dropping two to (our seeds onco in
sixteen inches. This can bo done very
ickly and nicelv with common hand
corn pliinters, or we may uso ono of tho
horsc beon plantcrs, which mork out
and plant two or tbree rows at onco,
and do excellent work. We use from
one-half to two-thirds of a bushel of
soed to tho acre, according to the sizo
of tho bean, and I am convmceu that
a great many crops aro rcduced in
quantity and Btill moro in quality by
overaceding and conBequent crowding.
As aoon as the beans are up bo uio
rows mav be seen, go through with a
cultivator, running it aa deep and as
closo to the row as is practicable with
out covering tho plants. This is tho
last Btimng to any clepth tho soil snoum
receive, and in tho case of many of tho
best crops I have ever seen, it is the
only work dono in tho fltld between
planting aud harvesting. in most
caBes, however, it will bo best to go
through about a week later, thiB time
with a horso noo set so as to uraw
about an inch of soil from aa near tho
row aa possible towards tho center, but
care should be taken not to run too
deep. In Bandy soil the roots will moet
in twenty-oight-inch rows by tho timo
tho plants havo mado tho flrst truo
lcaves, aud every root cut is an injury
to tnc piant. 1 navo icnown 01 a case
whero the alteration for a half day of
tho draft and set of a horeo hoe so that
tho outsido teeth ran a little deeper
close to the plaute, though it leit tne
fleld lookiug better, resultcd iu tho
lessening of tho yield of the part of the
fleld so treated to a uegree wtucn was
fouud by careful measurement to
amount to over tbree bushels per acro.
A few days lator go through amiin with
tho hoe set to throw back this earth,
and a little more, bo as to leavo ono to
two iuches of lreBh earth about tho
stems of the plants and smother any
weeda which may have Btarted. If tho
preparation before plantiug has been
thorough and this work carefully dono,
tho cron will need no tarther attention
till harvest time, unless it bo going
through with a hoo aud cutting out a
fow weedB which may havo escaped tho
early cultivation and horso hoe.
