Tie Shir, horn Cow
There iloes not seem to be any good
reason to fear that the noble Shorthorn is
to be counted out of the milkers yet.
Formerly this breed was the best dairy cow
known, and In those days when Mr. Bates
was busy Improving them, the original
Shorthorn cows were copious and rich
milkers. Forty-two quarts of milk and two
pounds of butter per day was the common
yield of the first Duchess without tbe ex
cesslve feeding now common with "tested"
cows. There was no testlnc about tho
Duchess, her weekly product of butter was
made on tho pasture and sold by her mis
tress every week. And the natural pro.
cllvlty to make milk and butter has not
left the Shorthorn race, althouch breeders
for many years have been doing all that.
might be possible to eliminate this valuable
characteristic and make them only fnt-pro
duclng animals. At the recent English
Dairy Show a Shorthorn cow proved the
champion milker and butternmker.
After 224 days from calving, her mllk
yield amounted to 46 1-2 pounds dally, and
her butter to 4, 4 per cent., equal to 2 1-2
pounds per day. The total solids In this
milk amounted to 14. 2 per cent., which
shows the cow was not only an excellent
butter maker, but exceptionally good for
cheese. If there Is a teally general-pur
pose cow this Is surely one.

The Potato Crop.
Farmers ought not to expect to grow a
crop of potatoes without giving some
attention to their cultivation. The potato
requires something to feed upon and also
some moisture. If potatoes ate planted
upon a soil naturally dry the depth of cov
ering should he sufficient to Insure pro
tection from the effects of a possible dry
season. The potato will do fully as well if
the manure has been applied to the land
loug enough before planting to become
thoroughly incorporated with tho soil, al
though I hayo always had satisfactory re
sults fiom the use of horse manure eren
when it comes In direct contact with the
seed, and especially so In cases whete the
soil is inclined to be moist. I would
choose an old pasture or field that has not
been plowed for a loDg time, and work it
sufficiently tb tear up the sod and thorough
ly pulverize them. On such land thus
prepared the certainty Is greater of getting
a crop of smooth tubers of good quality.
The same potato will do differently upon
different Sblls, varying greatly in form,
quality and productiveness. It I) necessary,
therefore.to make a trial to determine how,
when, where and what to plant to secure
best results. I ren.eraber of planting
potatoes at one time In a loamy soil that
was well enrlched,in a deep furrow cov
ered over'with buckwheat straw as thick
as It could be trodden In and a thin layer
of soil mi lop. The fesull was a crop of
fine largo potatoes, perfectly smooth and
clean and of excellent quality, The straw,
contained a good percentageof lime, potash
and phosphoric acid, and probably acted as
an absorbent of moisture which It held for
the use of the plants, ITence the result
obtained.
