Somo Advnntngcs of Dnirying.
1. Tbc flret ndvnntngo of dnirying
is tbnt it tnkcs less fertilily from tbo
eoiltbnn otber brnncbcs ofinrming. A
lon of whcnt tnker $7 out of tbo fnrm
nnd eclls for Icbb tbnn S1G. A ton of
buttcr tnkcs CO ccnta' wortb of plant
food from tbc fnrm nnd sclls from $400
to SG00. Commcnt is needlese.
2. Buttcr is n condcnsed product.
Nolbing cnn bo mndo or grown on tbo
larin Tvnicn brings ns much per pounu
Furmcrs remoto from tbo mnrkct nnd
communiticB fnr from railrond scnd
buttcr from Ibe fnrm or crcnmery witb
tbo lenst poEsible expensc. Tbc dniry-
rnnu can conucnBO tons ot louuer nnd
crops grown on the fnrm into duiry pro
ducts nnd eend tbem to mnrkct in com-
pnct nnd portnble form.
3. Buttcr is n OuiBbeil product. It
is rcndy for tbc consumcr either in tbo
privnto dnny or locnl fnctory or
croamcry. Tbo only oxccption is whero
crcnm is scnt long distnnccs to a cen
trnl stntiou fromakinimingstalionsacat
tered over n lnrgo sectlon of country.
But tbis cxccption only proves tbe rule.
4. Dnirying brings in n constant in
comc. Tbo mnn wbo eclls crops of any
kind bas to wnit untill be cnn mnrkct
his product one year. Tberc is littlo
satisfaction in tbis. It is unbusiness.
likc to go witbout casb for wccks, and
thcn to bavc a lot of money come in at
ouc time. Tbo daiiyman bas nn incomo
nearly or quite fifty-two weeks in a ycar.
5. Dairying gives constant, remuner
ative emplojment. The grnin or po
tnto grower must spcnd n Tnrgo part of
tbc year in cnforced and dcmoralizing
iddlcneeB, but tbe dniryman finds proflt
nblo work tbrough tho yenr, and his
work is most profitable during tho win
ter time.
0. On tho dairy farm tho work is
botter divided. The grnin bnrvestcomes
so cIobo to hnying tbnt it often geta
mixed up witb it, to the detriment of
both; but whcn corn is grown and put
mio fciio ior ciairy ieca, anu not 0
mucb or no grain rnieed, the harvests
nro severnl weeks apart.
7. Skill and braiu work get bcttor
pny in dairying than in nny other brnnch
of fnrming. To produce flno dniry pro
ducts rcquircs somcthiug besides hnrd
work. The dairyman must havo knowl
edge and skill and excrciae grcnt care.
8. Thcre is moro room nt tbc top,
greater opportunities to improvc, than
in any other farm work. Cows produce
from 1C0 to 500 pounds of buttcr per
year, and buttcr sclls from 10 to 00 cents
per pound. No other branch Bbows
anythiug liko thie, or givcs such n
chnnco to rise.
9. Tnke tbo country tbrough, tbero
is no kind of farm work so wcll suited
to women as dairying.
10. Dairying leads to thoughtfulneBS
for the comfort of animnls, nnd thus
tcnds to mornlity. To do ber beat tbo
cow must be made as comfortablo as
possible in every wny. Sho will tolcrnto
no ucglect or cruelty. She is n teachor
of gcntlcneBB and kindncss.
11. Dairying ia the most progrcSBivo
branch of fnrming.
12. Dairying pays better than nny
other branch of fnrming, both aclually
uuu iiiuoiiccuvuiy. .uxcuango.
Seed corn is liablo to injury during
tho wiutcr unleas it ia Btored in n dry
plnce. Tbcro is cousidcrnble moieturo
in corn, nud it can bo affectod by frost.
Sclected corn is hung up in n loft,
wherc it is warm and dry, and nho ex
nmined frcquently. It is important to
givo Becd corn nttention, ns falluro to
germiuato during tho spring may throw
ncxt yeni's crop back bycompelling rc
plnnling. A good nppetito is nu important.fac

An Entrlish paper aaya of tbo tails of
cows: "Thcy uro somctlmes ahortcncd
by cuttiug off tho bair straigbt acrosa
at about tbo hocks, or as higb as the
operator can go witbout rcmoving a
loint." 11 is a inzy mctuou oi leBsen
mg tbc cvils of unclcanlincss in tbe
ttablo, and is common in bndly con-
structed cow housea, whcro strnw
or othor bcdding is scarce. A dairy
mnn hnving cnguged n new cowboy to
nttcnd his pedigrecd Shorthorns waa
horrifled tbo ncxt morning to miss nll
the benutiful, swccping ringlcts, nnd to
find instcnd, in eacb stnblo, a vcry uui-
form row of plcbian "bobtails." liob
binc tbo cows is not mucb practiced in
this country, but it is somc. It is
wrong, for thia awitch waa provided for
n verv uscful purposo. A tuilker met
with n serlous occurrcnco in conee
qucnce of clipping the bnir from n
cow's tnil. iie looking bacK, tno cow
atcnpcd asido, and, at the eamo timo
getting tho right twiat on her tail
punched one of his eycs out with the
baro end. Had tbe Bwitch not becn
removed, doubtlces the eyo would have
cscaped dcstruction. It is quito com
mon to scc nn occnBional tnilless cow
in dairy sections. On inquiiy, it wns
lcnrncd tbnt the cnlves lost thcir caudal
nppendnscB wben very young, nnd nl
wnjB within n few incbes of the upper
end. The tnils get cummcd up wiui
tho glutinous cxcretions, this drying
on, lias tbo tltect ot "coruing" tbe
tails. which etons tho circulation and
tho tails rot off. Prudenco would dic-
tnto to kccp such excretiona wa&bed
off. A stump-tail cow will not do so
well in summer as tbougb ebe liau a
full switcb, becauee abo bas Icsb dc
fcnse against flics. She is displcnsing
to the eyo of cvery ono wbo sees hcr.
AVhen n calf Iobcs it tail it would better
be vealed. With regnrd to sheep, their
tails have lost tbcir UBefulncsa undcr
prcsent conditions, nnd it is right thnt
tbey should como under lue rule ot cx
cision. In tbeir cnrlicr days undoubt
edly they wero wild, mountain breeds,
fceding upon tbe horbagoof dccliviticB,
narrow and often over-hnnging ledgeB
of rock on tbo mountnin side. Under
such conditions thcir tnils mny bnvo
actcd, to a certain extcnt, na balnncinc;
polcs. In tbc cntly dnys of ahcep hcrd
mg tbey ovidcntly grazed upon such
lnnda nndhnd long tnils, for tbe nncient
nursery rbyme rends:
Leavo them alono
And tliey'U como homo
DragRluR thulr tails belilnd tliotu.
If the tail could be bred off, it would
be an improvement, for it is not nced
cd, either ns n balaucing pole, or as
with horses nnd cows to switch off flice,
nor docB it furnisb any uiutton, or
wool cn'ough to pny for the botbor.
AVild sheep living on browsc nnd scnnt
herbaco probnbly did not ecour nud
dirty up thcir tnils na sheep often do
now in our fat flclds. Under prescnt
conditions long tails of Bhccp nre tlltliy
nuisnnccB, and should bo preventcd.
Tbo tails of lamba should bo docked
wben tbey aro two or thrco days of
ngo. Thcro is not pnin cuougu nbout
it thcn tocoustitule cruelty, but it is
crucl to leavc tbc dock mucb lcsa than
two inchea in lcugth. A shorl dock
cxposc8 it to annoyancoof flics, nnd to
tho wcatber.
But whnlBeuBo can thcre bo in nm
putnting tho tails of pigs? Tho Eug
lieh did this so long they camo ncnr
brceding them off entiroly. A writor
snya of it: "In some of our highly-bred
pigs tbero is at an cnrly ngo n teudcncy
to drop tho tail. If not bclpcd to re
tain them they nro often tailleBS beforc
they nro weaned, nnd during tho rost
of tbeir lives poiaess only stumpa,
which curvo upwnrd, and are some
timcs bccu cousiderably agitnted, nB if
tho plg imagincd itBclf to be switcbing
a rcspcctablo tail, ns n gontloman
switches 1i!b cano." Tho tnils blncken,
dry up nnd drop off during tbo sucking
perlod. To prevont it, tbey oil tho
tails frcquently to mnko them aupple.
The reasou thcy cultlvato tails now is,
tbat a long, curlcd tnil ovincea tbrift
nnd good brcodiug; nnd thnt ut tbo

Conif. Tho domand lias ruleil nnlnt
durluc the week with tbo rance of prlcos
about stoady. For ateamer yollow on tracb
Diiiod tnrougn to outsiuo pointe, tbo price Is
nbout 37c.
Potatoks. The nast fow days hos soon
mlldor weathor and a bottor doraaud has
provalled. Prlces have Improveu tlirouRli
tbe better conditions, cliolco Ilobrons rang
lDg up to8Sc.
OnicKBE. Rocolnts for oznort 6.S3-1 bozes.
We aro stlll bavlng a very dull markot, and
although prlcos are bold about tbe sanio.
11111 quoiauons aro only reallzeu lor small
lota of (ancy Roods.
Hay. The markot ls nulet. with no Im
provement ln tho slluatlon. The bost hay
ls bold steady ln price, and solls falrly well
ln a moderate way, but on tbo more common
grados tho tono ls dull and weak.
Eaos. Recelnts have been cansldflrahlv
larger than last wook nnd aro steadliy ln
creaalng whlle domand lmproves very alow-
ly. iTices navo ooon on tue uownwaru
turn and at tbo close are rullng 3 to 4c low
er than a week ago.
BuTTEn. Iteceints aro lncreaslne a little
but thero has been no eurplus of strlctly
11 no Iresh goods as yot anil prlces for top
grados of creamery aro well sustained.
Strlctly flne fresh Vermont and New Hainp
Bblre creamery bas a steady salo at 21Jc,
Bkans. Tho domand contlnues Black and
sales are ln small lots and at easy prlcos.
For best hand plckeu marrow poa S110 ls
nn outBldo price and they are offerlng to ar
rlve at S1.07i to 1.10. Yellow eyes are dull
and in full supply. Red kidnoys continue
qulet.
Flouii. Tho markot yet sbows a qulet
tone, but some business ls doing within tbo
range of prlces quotcd. Tbe tono as a whole
is better tban was tbo case a week ago, and
ratber more business ls doing in the qulet
way that supplles are needed. No ono Is
buying abead to any extont, but dealers do
not look for any material declino ln prlces
on tbis crop, and will ordor quite freely
wben tbey seo wbat they consider a low
price.
Woor,. Tbo market bas been extremely
dull and tliero are no lnterestlng features to
report. Tbe casler tono noticed a week ago
nttracted many buyers to tbe market, but
bo far as sales are concerned their presenca
has not been felt. Tbere is no doubt tbat
buyers have been looking for soft spots and
perbaps tbe smallness of tbo week's busi
ness ls due to the fact tbat tboy have not
found as many of these as they wero led to
ezpect. Tbo market, whlle not as flrm
as it was earller in tbe year, is very
steady and tlioro Ib no effort botng mado on
the part of dealers to force sales by accept
ing the low blds tbat have been made
them. :
Lumbku. It can bardly be ezpected that
the sccond week ln February would be any
better tban the llrst so far as tbe demand
for stock is concerned. Tbere Is an Im
provement, bowevor, inasmuch as thero ls
a somewhat better outlook for lumber, or in
otber words, wo aro fast nearing tbe time
wben lumber will be wanted. Tho car
mllls report a ratber better lcqulry, but
have not received many conslderable or
ders as yet. It is rather too early to ezpect
much ln tbis line. Much at preBent depends
on tbe businees outlook. Tbis ls being quito
closely followed. If it proves as good as
anticipated, then we shall see a good de
mand for lumber.
