VERMONT WATCHMAJS & STATE JOUHNAL WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 1897.
AGRICULTURAL,
Tho Kush or Work.
Most fnrmers hnvo to rush things
from tho bcglnninK of sowing nnd
plnnting till tho ond of tho grain hnr
vcst. Has ing is cspccially n tlmo of
rushing thlngs, espccielly If thoro is a
good denl of hay to cut. Tho grnss
must bo cut at tho right tlmo or it will
bo of poor quality. Many kinds of
farm work rnust bo dono on timo or
grcnt loss must rosult. It is nhvnys
bettcr to kccp a liltlo nhoad of farm
work tban to let it got bchipd nnd drivo
tho farmcr. I3elated farm work is nn
nwful bad mnstor, rolentless, unpitying,
cruel. But this sca&on very mnny far
mers havo been kept back by tho wet
weathcr, and havo had a hard strugglo
to keop anywhcro near up with their
work. It is lo bo hoped that after hay
iug, or at loast after tho grain harvest
this stato of things will end, and the
farmers get a much-needed timo to
rcst a little, perhaps tako a vacatlon.
We earnestly urgo all our farm readers
to get a fow days away from homo, if
possible. Especially should the wife
and molher go away for at least a brief
change of scene, Too many farmers
do not realizo that tho rush of work
presses upon tho women folks of the
farm from ono year's end to another
with little lntermiesion. How many
hours tho wife has to work hard when
tho husband is riding or tnlklng, or do
ing that which renlly is a cbango nnd a
rest for him. It seems to grow more
difllcult to llnd indoor help on tho farm.
So many women and girls aro doing
tho work which was formorly dono by
rnon nnd boys, so many new occupa
tions are opening up to women, so
many dislike housowork, so many think
it to be beneath them, that it is almoet
impossible to get n girl to help a far
mer's wife. And so tho work presBes
on the wife and mother day after day,
and many farmers seo no help for it.
But the wife must havo rest or brenk
down, and so we urge every ono to see
that the wife has a vacation. Get along
some way for at least a week without
ber. Lct her go to some quiet plnce,
somewhero, anywhero to get real rest
nnd recreation. It may add years to
her Hfe. Think of this, plan for it, do
it, and you will nover be sorry.
When to Cut Grnss for Hay.
Eds. Country Gentleman: After con
cluding and publishing experiments
some eighteen years ago thnt showed
that between blossom and maturity of
grass, especially of timothy, there was
a marked increase of growtb, and that
from blosBom to seed formation there
was rnther n gain than a loss of nutri
tive effect, I was frequently rallied by
the argument in favor of .early-cut hay,
deemed conclusive, that animnls do
better on June graes than on hay, and
better than on later grazed pastures.
Tho fact that June is tho great growing
month for the grass crop, when a sur
plus of graas exists, that ilies do not
harass at that time, and other factors,
were overlooked.
I am remined of the flood of criti
ciems by my fourth year's experienco
with cows at grass. My cows now
(June 21), on abundant grass, nro giv
ing twelvo or more cans or twenty per
cent lees milk than on May 31, when
yet on winter feed. Such has been my
annunl cxperienco since returning to
the farm, whether tho cows were fed
grain or not. Fncts that have been ac
cumulating since these trials by tho
writer, at tho Now Hampshiro College
of Agriculture, are moro and more
brenklng tho force of this nnd other
similar old arguments favoring early
cutting of crops, hay included, nnd
those favoring greenness.
In the light of modern investigations,
we must asBumo that much of ino ia
creased milk flow and growth nf llvn.
siock on uuno pasture,"como not bo
much from tho early stago of growth
and of greenness ns from the fact that
the winter Btnrvation rations of tho
fnthers who launched tho argument
were succeeded by a period of greater
pleuty and greater warmth. Now tho
wind-swept interior barns of old times
are replaced by protected stables, and
grain rations added to more generouB
rations of hay aro disputing with pas
tures the question, as decided by Juno
grass, concerning tho right degrec of
maturity of crops, nnd have broken
much of the force of tho nrgument in
favor of greenness.
Hnying is upon us, and so iB the old
argument in favor of early cutting of
hay; even the old rcnsoniug based on a
half viow of scientilic data is mado tho
support of early cutting. It is not my
purpose to review tho facts of Bcienco
that bear on this question. It may
now at least safely bo Baid thnt it is not
at all clenr that scienco teaches thnt
May grass or grass prior to bloom and
oven in bloom is more valunblo than
hay at early seed formation. The ono
grand nrgument of ao-called scienco in
favor of early cutting that alarger per
centage of protein is secured is based
on the gratuitous assumption that na
turo has failed to put in tho grass crop
the ono great resourco of wild grami
nivorous anlmals, onough of protoin.
This argument overlooks the influenco
of environment, nnd nssumcs that this
class of anlmals is not ndapled to tho
food it rccoives, for Juno grass is but
for n briof period of tho year. It was
formulated beforo it had been discov
ered that tho nitrogonous matter of
young grass is but partly organlzed into
protein.
This train of thought suggeated by
tho rosponso of tho cows at tho milk
pail whilo on Juno grnBB is by no meuns
intended to encourago lato cutting of
hay, but rather a conservntivo or middlo
ground practico. Trials at tho Now
Ilampshlro, Maine. Pennsylvania, nnd
Wisconsin Stato Collcges fail to support
tho dogmatic assertions of both mon of
practice and men of scienco in favor of
cutting hny in enrly bloom or prior to
onrly formation of seed for tho timothy
crop, bo far as its nutritlvo effect is con
corncd. As oll of tho trials agreo iu
flnding an incroased growth of timothy
to n matorinl extcnt betwcon bloom
nnd seed formation auiountlng in sonio
trlnls to twonly-flvo per cent to thirly
por cont, it would nppear on tho faco
of it to indicnto, in viow of tho roton
tion of cquivalont if not suporior nu
tritlvo effect. thnt timothy should tot
bo cut untii tho seed is well formcd
nnd approaching tho milk stngo. For
tunntoly ns a mcans of developiug
tho mcntal acumon and equilibrium of
tho farmcr, this docs not follow, for
other factors interpose. Tho greater
palatnbloncss of tho enrly cut hay in
ducos greater consumptloti, nnd thoro
by n very heavy increasoof the food of
oxcess or that abovo a mero maintenanco
ration. So far as.definltcly known pal
atableness is not a nutritlvo quality,
or does not add directly to nutritlvo ef
fect, simply inducing greator consump
tion of food.
It is impossiblo for scienco, it seems
to the writer, to flx tho precieo date at
which grasB should be cut. I hold tho
following proposition sets forth fairly
the position of tho question: First, thnt
timothy hny cut nt seed formation will
yield twenty to twcnty-flvo por cent
moro than when cut in bloom; second,
that n pound of timothy cut nt seed
formation contains moro availoblo nu
trition than a pound cut at bloom ; third,
that timothy cut in bloom is moro pal-
atablo and thereforo will bo eaten in
greater quantity, and thoreforo in this
rcspect moro economically; and fourth,
thnt tho point nt which the sacriQce of
palntabloness becomes great enough to
overcomo greater yieids is ono for prac
ticc to dctcrmiue, if it is at all deter
minable, and that this point will vary
with feeding conditiona, including tho
akill of the feeder. I hold thnt, under
skillful management, as a rulo it is
cconomy to let timothy pasa out of
bloom beiorc cutting, but not to ap
proximato closely to seed ripening, tho
exact stago beintr unknown and un-
knowable without flrst knowing how it
is to bo fed. My advice is to avoid
either extreme of cutting in early bloom
or tuii seeu. j. w. banborn, in uoun'

Kceping Milk from Sourlng,
This is the klud of weathcr in which
tho butter maker, at the creamery, hns
uiB iiie neariy worneu our, or nim.
Some patronB bring milk that is too
sour to Beparate good, and he has not
tne nerve to retuse lt. He fears that
ho will 1080 the patron, ao ho keepa on,
day after day, tnking tho milk that
clogs his Beparator, compelline him to
etop nnd clear it out, hoping vainly
that the patron will do better, or thnt
me weatner wni De cooier.
It is very easy to say thnt the butter
mnker should reject all milk that had
not been properlv cared for. and bv so
doing compel the patronB to take better
care of their milk, and consequently
maKe more money, Decause or tne bet
ter separntion that can be had with
sweet milk.
This is, no doubt, the right way, and
the only way to do justice by the pat
rons who do deliver their milk in good
condition, for all tho patrons havo to
share equally in the loas caused bv tho
reduced quantity or quality caused by
tne miiK oi ine careiess patron.
But it takeB some courago to do this
tthen the creamery is surrounded bv
other creameries but three miles dis-
tant in all directions, where the natron
would bohailed with delight, and where
ho would go if there was nny fault
iound with his milk. We visited n
creamery, a few days .ago, where just
this stato of things existeu. Ono man
brought a full load, the milk of aeveral
patrons, one hot morning, and more
than half that load wns unflt to receive.
The butter maker, who was pnrt owner.
anid, very mildly, to the driver, "I
wish you would tell " naming
several patrons, " lo tako botter caro of
their milk." The driver replied, with
a goou ueai oi vim: "xnat rnufe is all
right. If you don't want tho milk I
bring I will tako it over to the other
creamery. Thoy'll tako it and be glad
to get it." That settled it; tho butter
maker had to give vont to his feelings
after he was alono, in langungo ho did
HGt wish others to hear,
j.u would bo much boiler for all paf
ties concerned, if the milk wns prop
erly cared for immediately after milk
ing, and kept in cold water till time to
start for tho creamery, and it really
does not take much time. Wo believe
if patrons were instructed in this mat
ter they could seo that it would bo to
their advantage, and would practico
tnking better cnro ot their milk.
There nro two tliings to do, and they
are (1) to aerate, and (2) to cool it. A
good way to aerate it is to have a tin
vcssel, something liko a largo pail with
straight Bidea, with a great number of
very small holes in tho bottom. This
aerator is set up ono and ono-half or
two feet above tho can, and when
straiued into it the milk trickleB, in
very small streams, throueh the holes,
and is well aircd ns it fnlls into tho can.
Now if the can is set in cold wator,
which is as deep as tho milk in tho can,
andjstirred up onco after half nn hour,
it will keop all right till the next fore
noon, when it will reach tho creamery
in tho best condition overy timo.

The Nccesslty ot Knonlcdge, t'nre and
Consciencc.
In thc handling of milk, there aro
three prime requisites, which go a great
waya to mako the milk valuable. All
three belong, not to tho milk, but to
the milkman. They are: (1) Aknowl
edge of right milk conditions. (2) A
willingnoBs to bestow tho proper caro
on the milk. (3) A conscieuce. To
show how important it is to the milk
consumer, that the milk producer
Bhould posscBs these three qualiflca
tions, wo will atate that in a little town
in Ohio there has recently been a score
or more of deaths, from tjphoid fever,
all on the milk route of ono man, who
watered hia cows, and washed his milk
veesels from a well, that on investiga
tion, pioved to be rank with typhus
germs.
Now, had that man had the necessa
ry knowlcdgo of right milk conditions,
or rather of the condition of his well
water, had he put intelligence on these
questions, in place of ignorance, it
would havo saved a score of lives.
Suppoaing that he had the requisite
knowledge, ho must have been lacking
in care and consciencc.
Every man who produces milk,
whether for a factory, creamery, or for
faniily consumption, has the lives of
his fellowmen in his keeping. Thero
is no fluid, used as a food, that can bo
made more dangerous to human lifo
than milk, when produced by a man
who is either ignorant, careiess, or
without good consciencc. Hoard's

Thk total corn land now being culti
vated by American farmers is an em
pire in ltBolf, double as it is the total
surface area of Turkey in Europe, and
flve times as largo as the whole of
Greece. It has been frequently pointed
out that tho selling price of corn has
little intluence upon the area devoted
to tho crop. Less than twenty per cent
of the crop leavos tbe farm in the shape
of grain, tho great bulk being marketed
on the hoof. It is tho American crop
and when Bold in tho shape of beef,

Mill Feed. Receipts, 411 tons. Tho
uiarket continues quiet, with prlceH to ship
quoted Bteady.
Hay. The hay market Bhowa no material
change, guppllea of common and mediain
grades being large, and the tone is weak.
Cheese. Receipts forexport, 2,316 boxes.
Trade has been quiet for the past week and
a further slight reduction hao been made ln
pricea.
Cobn. Trade is limited, but prices hold
Bteady on about the saico baals of price as a
week ago. Buyera are only meetlng press
ing needs.
Oats. Thero has been no material
change ta note In the market the past week,
tho demand for supplles rullng quiet with
prices ateady.
Flook. There is a quiet business doing
from time to time as buyera are in need of
suppiies, bnt no one is disposed to operate
ahead to any extent. The market haa ruled
slow, but a tirmer tone for sprlrg patents ia
noted at the close.
Eaos. There has been no improvement
in the general condition of the market since
our lastweekly report. Keceipts continue
llberal, but contain very few re lly cholce
fresh eggs. Most everything is badly
heated. Buyers are looking for fine stock,
but it is hard to llnd outsldo of cold storage.
Wool. Sales for the week, 7.0G0.00O
pounds. The market is somewhat quieter.
The sales are large, but they are swollen by
a few big blocks, and no longer represent
the general speculative demand recently so
rife. Prices continue, however, to cllmb
upward, and the sales would unquestlon
ably have been much lareer were holders
willing to aell on to-day's market. Not
only ln Boston, but all over the country,
wool is being held for an advance, The
feeling is justilled absolutely.
Lumbeb. Oue of the most noticeable
features about the present market is the
large receipts of Eaatern luinber at this
port. Not alone are the Maine mills shlp
ping here in unusual qnantities, but the
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick mills aa
well. The latter are shipping here to get
in beforo the now duty is effected. This of
course keeps the prices down qulte low.
Ordlnary cargo stocka have sold down to
S1-, while poor grades have sold the loweat
this season. The car mills under the cir
cumstancea are not doing much and are sell
ing f ully as low as a week ago.
Butter. Receipts have not fallen olf
very much as yet, but ao large a proportiou
of tne arrlvals are effected by heat that the
snpply of strictly flne is considerably llghter
than a week ago. The market has ruled
flrm for strictly extra, but has been duil
and easy for off grades, and the stock that
has accumuiated during the past week in
cludes quite a number of creameries that
have heretofore passed as extra. Prices do
not show any uiurked change, but are tak
ing a little wider range. Strictly extra
Vermont and New Hatnpsbire creamery has
been in stuaJy demand at lCc. Hardly
any Vork State creamery offerlng.
Livo Stock Mnrket.
