Farm Notes.
—1It you have potatoes, cabbage or
roots of any kind pitted be eure the
drainage is good or a heap of decayed
vegetables may be all you will find in
the spring.
—Blackberries and raspberries in
northern latitudes should be protected.
The simplest and surest way 18 to lay
them down in the row and cover light-
ly with earth.
—while mulching is often beneficial,
especially to young growing trees and
among the small fruits. it ehould not
be applied until the ground freezes
sufficiently hard to bear up a wagon.
—1If the cider does not turn to vine-
gar it is due to the lack of air (oxygen)
and it should be poured out into tubs
and a few days agein poured into the
barrel. Any method of admitting oxy-
gen to the cider will answer.
—A damp roosting place is an abom-
ination, and yet fowls prefer a wet
roost free from lice to a dry one cover-
ed with vermin which sap their blood
and strength. This will explain why
some people’s chickens prefer to roost
-on trees.
—A good way of applying manure is
upon grass lands during the latter part
of the fall and early winter, taking
.care to scatter out as evenly as poesible,
ae with coarse fresh manure there is
danger of killing out the grass unless
this is done.
—A writer thus sums up the sources
of profit in sheep : There is the wool,
‘the mutton, the young lambs, the sales
for breeding purposes, and the enrich-
ment they give the land. Further, they
are consumers of weeds, which are so
constant a nuisance, and they live up-
on these and other things, which other
animals refuse.
—Some sorts of pears, notably the
Bartlett, Clapp’s Favorite ani Lucra-
tive, never fail of a crop, and by using
care varieties may be planted so as to
come in one after another. The pear
is a sure crop all the time, and the
wonder is that more of them are not to
be seen about our farm houses.
—A live stock writer says there are
very few farms in this country upor
which it will not pay to keep a fev
sheep—s3ay about one gheep to every
three acres of land. Their value 8
gleaners and in ridding the lanes, road-
sides fence corners and pastures of
noxious weeds is not halt-way appre
ciated as it should be.
—Professor Conn says that the but-
ter armoa which appears in thebutter
is the result of the ripening process.
Sweet cream butter does not have this
delicate flavor, and while there is & de-
mand in our markets, perhaps a grow-
ing demand, for sweet cream butter, it
never develops the delicate flavor as
butter aroma.
—The biggest and most prosperous |
sheep firm in Illinois, says an ex:
change, have raised this year 25.000
bushels of turnipe, at a coset of $6.25,
besides the cost of sowing the seed.
Such cheap feed supplies mast solve
the question of profitable shexp raising
in this country. It has don: as much
for other countries, and can for this,
—Monthly roses may be k:pt through
the winter in good shape by being cov-
ered with hard coal ashe. A good
way to do this is to put a rail keg with
beads out over the bushesand fill with
the ashes. When the bwhes are too
large for this use a large frame. Of
course thia protection nay fail in the
case of the tender house roses.
—Caked udder and milk fever in
cows is more often due 0 their condi-
tion at time of calving than anything
else. In a majority ofcases such cows
bave been fed on highy concentrated
fond and are fat, or iater than a cow
should be which is altout to calve. By
judicious feeding for ax or eight weeks
before the cow calves milk fever may
be avoided.
—Very young hases should never
be overloaded unlgs itis desired to
ruin them, which ertainly is not con:
ductive to their vahe. Colts that have
been but recently broken are treated
by some in the sane manner as horses,
and they either break down early,
meet with som: misfortune which
causes a defect, or balk when over-
loaded.
—1t is of no Idvantage and, in fact,
in many cases t is positive detriment
to allow the stick to run outon the
pastures or miadows too late. Some
growth of the eaves is necessary to se-
cure proper srotection for the roots,
and it is bette’ to commence feeding a
little earlier rather than to run the
risk of killinz out the grass plants for
the small apount of feed that will be
secured.
—This isthe season to make tests
with corn fodder as a food, It has
been found excellent for horses when
the fodderbas been cul, crushed, and
ted with ground grain, and steers have
been kep over winter in good condition
with it. There is the labor of prepar-
ing it tobe considered, but experiments
with con fodder will no doubt show
that it s too valuable to be wasted in
the shicks, as is the case on a large
numbr of farms.
—TXerosene emulsion, diluted, will
kill Ice on cows or horses, and yet
not iijure the animals, but crude pe-
troleim will cause the hair to come
off. On the contrary, crude petroleum
will not injure a dog in the least,
wlile kerosene will cause loss of hair
waen appiied to the skin, Why this
if the cese cannot, perhaps, be explain-
d, but it bas been noticed by many
who have used both substances on the
kins of animals, including dogs.
Notes from the Pennsylvania Experi-
ment Station.
Within the past year, a new feeding
stuff called “cotton seed feed’* has been
quite extensively advertised in this and
other states. This teed purports to be a
mixture of one part of cottonseed meal
and five parts of cottcn bulls by weight,
and is sold in car-lots at $11 50 per ton
in bulk. It is specially recommended
for fattening purposes but is also claim-
ed to give good results in the production
of milk and butter.
Ina bulletin now in press, the Ex-
periment Station gives the details, of
some experiments carried out to test the
value of this feed. The feed has been
examined as to its chemical composi-
tion, its digestibility, and its actual
feeding value for dairy cows. The re-
sults of these experiments were in brief
as follows :
The chemical composition was found,
on the whole, to correspond very well
to the composition claimed for the feed.
Its digestibility was comparatively low,
the total amount of digestible food
present in the feed being somewhat less
than ip clover or timothy bay, and
somewhat greater than that found in
good corn fodder, although the propor-
tion of protein is considerably higher
than that in either corn fodder or
timothy. At the price named, a pound
of digestible food in the cotton-seed
feed was found to cost about 84 per
cent more than in timothy or clover hay
and 2) per cent. more than in corn.
Two experiments were made with
dairy cows to test its value as a feed for
milk and butter. In the first experi-
ment a ration of cotton-seed feed and
bran produced 18 per cent. less milk and
10 per cent less butter than one of corn
fodder, mixed hay, corn meal, and cotton
sced meal containing the same amount
of dry matter. The estimated net profit
per cow per day was 17 per cent less on
the cotton-seed feed ration than on the
bay and fodder ration. In the second
experiment, a raticn of cotton-seed feed,
bran, and Buffalo gluten meal produced
15 per cent less milk and 6 per cent less
butter than aration of clover hay, corn
meal, bran, and Buffalo gluten meal,
containing 2} pounds more grain and #
of a pound more coarse fodder. The
net profit per day and head, in this case,
was 4 per cent less on the clover hay ra-
tion than on the cotton-seed feed ration,
but it is probable that the cows on the
clover hay ration were somewhat over-
fed.
The general conclusion drawn from
these investigations is that cotton-seed
feed is too expensive in proportion to the
amount of food which it contains to suc-
cessfully compete, on equal terms, with
ordinary dairy feeds at average prices.
An incidental result of the experi-
ments is to illustrate the possibilities of
profit in dairying. The net profit above
the estimated cust of feed and care in
these experiments ranged from 77 to 95
per cent of the cost of the feed. While
there are other elements of expense in
dairying which are not included in these
estimates, the results nevertheless make
a very good showing for the profits of
dairying and particularly of butter pro-
duction.
The Kxperiment Station has recently
reprinted from its annual report for 1893
a little pamphlet entitled ‘Rational
Stock Feeding.” This pamphlet con-
tains tables of feeding standards and of
the composition and digestibility of
feeds, together with illustrations of the
method of calculating rations. It may
be secured free upon application to the
Director.
