GI1IC17&TI7IIA&. Over 500 Pounds of Butter per Cow My cowb averaged 275 pounds ot bat ter each in the year 1894, the next year 350 pounds, in 1893 made 397 pounds and last year averaged 521 pounds of batter per head for nine cows. My dairy was begun in 1884 blood Jersey cow bred to a thoroughbred bull, and I raised the heifers until 1891. That year I began feeding part of the milk ack to the cows; with a small grain ration, and sowed corn in its season. This worked so well that the next year I fed all the milk back to the cows except in June, when no grain or milk was fed, and the grain ration was increased over the previous year, and the fodder was from corn planted in hills in stead of sowed. In 1893 the feed was the same, through J une and all, but grain was increased. The first three years some of the stock were heifers; the fourth year, sold the young cows, and bought the best cows I could;get, increas ing my dairy to nine cows. The grain rot inn vbur Rtrfiin increased. In the fore part of the season, when the feed in the pasture was gooa, tne cowb wwrw jfi at nnnn keint until milkinsr time. led. and then allowed to feed about an hour, and than nut. in t he, V&rd Until mOminCT. Un VUVM f V " J less 1 did this the cows would not eat the large ration of milk and grain; the green iecd was the same as the year before. Tne grain was corn meai, iioaeeu, uieai and wheat bran. I do not give the weight of ration, for it varied according to time ot year, out it was a iioerai one. . Cornish. Cost of Production. The price of all farm products seems to have reached the lowest point possible and yet the tendency seems downward instead ot upward. As we are not pre pared to give up our lands and enter into different work, it is important that we study tbe cost of each crop, and, by every method withiu our reach endeavor to reduce this to tbe lowest possible figure. This ground has been traveled over again and again by agricultural writers, and some wide awake farmers have demon strated what can be done by a careful concentration of all agricultural forces, but it can not be too often repeated that the man who succeeds best in times of agricultural depression is he who most accurately adjusts his expenditures, who counts every dollar invested, and watches tbe numerous small "leaks" which have heretofore drained our resources. As a class, we are too careless of those minor expenses, and those small every day in accuracies which creep into even our "best laid plans." When the margin of profit on most farm products is small, we cannot allow a long line of expenses to run up against each crop without suffering se rious loss. We should study how to get the biggest returns for the smallest out lay. It is almost needless to indicate to thoughtful men that in order to accom plish this, we must draw in our lines, and so manage as to produce on fewer acres the crops which have heretofore drawn upon a larger area. As an illustration, we will take the following figures on the cost of wheat production from the Kansas State Board of Agriculture. Coming from this source and based on actual facts they are reliable; A yield of ten bushels to the acre cost 56J cents per bushel; fifteen bushels cost 48 cents per bushel; twenty buihels, 35 4-5 cents per bushel; twenty-five bushels, 31 cents; thirty bushels, 27 centsj'hirty fivo bushels, 26 cents. The report of the Secretary ot Agri culture for 1893 (I haven't the later ones before me, but this will do as an illustra-i tion) shows that the average cost of the corn crop was 811.71 per acre, at an aver age production of 19 bushels per acre. In a recent contest it was shown that with extraordinary effort, 175 bushels may be produced on one acre. This is, of course a phenomenal crop; but if, as has been shown, fifty bushels can be produced at the same cost as the usual average of 19 bushels, what folly to go on producing 19 bushels per acre on 20 acres, when we may produce fifty bushels per acre on ten acres, or even on eight aores at the same cost. The principle which applies in both these cases, namely, a maximum crop at a minimum cost, bears with equal force on the production of cotton, our great staple crop. Southern Cultivator. Care of Laying Hens. The laying stock should receive the best of care now. As large a space as possi ble should be cleared to give the fowls a chance to get to tbe ground, and if on the lee side of their bouse the better, as they do not like cold winds. See that the grit box, shell box, dusting box and chars coal box are kept well filled. Give as olten aH posiblo, every dny if you can, Bomo greon stuff Give cut clover hay, either dry or steamed, mixed with the mash, for broakfast; tbe hens reliuli it, . ana it is an excellent egg food And don't forget the cut green bono. Unless you have tanning water, or time enough to watch and see when they have drunk and empty the water dishes, give the water warm so it will not freeze so quickly. Tbe water dishes should be emptied every night. Renew the nests often, Clean out the droppings as often as you can; never let them accumulate more than a week. Use absorbents, and keep the manure in a dry place until ready for use. Onions which were sown in cold frames are now ready for transplanting. Draw them carefully from tbe bed, trim off roots and tops, and set about eight to ten inches apart. They require rich, light land, which has been thoroughly and deeply plowed or spaded, then bar. rowed and pulverized. In cultivating, the surface should merely bestirred to keep down weeds and conserve moisture; and care should be exercised to work the earth away from rather than towards tbe growing bulbs. If intended for market, it is found more profitable to sell as they attain sufficient size, rather than wait until later, when the entire crop is fully matured. It has also been demonstrated that medium size rather than very large bulbs meet with readiest sale. A profiti able crop of onions may also be grown from seed sown now. The soil should be very highly enriched and finely pulver ized, and the seed, three to four pounds to the acre, sown thinly in very shallow drills, about fifteen inches apart As they attain their growth, thin by degrees to a "stand," that is, with a plant about every three inches in the row. Stir the surface frequently. Southern Cultivator. A use for common salt recently given it to rob it into the roots of the hair to remove dandruff. Rub it lightly at night, not "using a great quantity; in the morning it is all gone, only leaving a slight dampness. , I- The Biggest You Ever "Saw" The largest piece of .good tobacco ever sold for 10 cents .and The 5 cent piece is nearly as large as you get of other high trades for 10 cents Wolves in Cattle. These insects were noticed in the Feb ruary issue of tbe Cultivator, for last year, bat attetion is called to them at this time, as the month in which treatment should be given. By this time the wolveB may be easily found along the backs of the cattle, but in a few weeks . they will come out and drop to the ground, to form pup, and, after a short time, will come forth as flies. Treatment consists of pressing the grubs out of their holes and destroying them. Take both thumbs and press firmly on the Bides of a bole, and in a moment out will come the grub. Now destroy it by crushing, or else it may simply go into tne ground and pupate, and the object of the treatment to lessen the number of flies will be loBt. Sonths ecn Cultivator. A SPECIFIC -FOB- La Grippe, for Golds, Coughs, AND LUNC TROUBLES, AVER'S CHERRY PECTORAL "Two years ago, I had the grippe, and it left me with a cough which gave me no rest night or day. My family physician prescribed for me, changing the medicine as often as he found the things I had taken were not helping me, bat, in spite ot his attendance, I got no better. Finally, my husband, read ing one day of a gentleman who had had the grippe and was cared by taking Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, procured, for me, a bottle of this medicine, and before I had taken half of it, I was cured. I have used the Pectoral for my children and in my family, whenever we have needed it, and have found it a specific for colds, coughs, and lung troubles." Emilt 'Wood, North St., Elk ton, Md.
