Every farmer in hie animal experience
discovers something of value. Write it and
semi it to the "Agricultural Editor of the
DKMOCHAT, Hellefonte, Penn'a," that other
fanners may have the benefit of it. Let
communications be timely, and be sure that
they are brief and well /minted.
A CORRESPONDENT of the American
Farmer gives a tabulated statement of
the dates at which he has tilled his ice
house for the last twenty years. Of
these but two are in February, and
one of them was on the sth.
THE Montgomery (Ind.) Farmer's
Club have made up their report for
the year, and show that fifteen mem
bers harvested three hundred and
eighty-four acres of wheat, with an
average of twenty-three and one-half
bushels per acre. Very good.
There is much talk just now about
the benefits of salt as applied to
w heat. It will cost but little to try
an experiment on a part of the wheat
field next spring, and the results may
be beneficial. Three or. four bushels
per acre would probably be near the
right amount. I)o not read this and
then forget all about it. TVy it.
IT may be a good plan to make a
careful inspection of the mows and
graneries, and ascertain, as nearly as
possible, the amount of feed yet on
hand. Possibly you will find a ne
cessity for a more economical anil
careful use of it, to make it hold out
until pasture comes. If you have
any of poor quality use it now, while
the cold weather sharpens the appe
tites, and save the very best you
have until the warmth of approach
ing spring relaxes the system, and in
duces a sluggish appetfte which needs
to be tempted with the best dainties
the barn affords.
IN another column of this page we
give a synopsis of the bill prepared
by Representative Aiken, of South
Carolina, making the Department of
Agriculture an executive department.
This bill was accepted by the com
mittee on agriculture without one
dissenting vote, and will, in all prob
ability, become a law in due course,
at any rate we hope so. The agri
culture of the country is the bed
rock upon wbicli its material pros
perity is founded, and it is as much
the duty of the government to care
for and sustain the source of the
country's ££alth, as to look after the
expenditure of that wealth. Let the
Agriculture ofthe country lie suspend
ed or abandoned, and the necessity
for any of the exjiensivc governmen
tal departments which now exist
would cease. By all means let the
bill pass, and then give us a represen
tative farmer as Secretary of Agricul
ture, and let the politicians have the
other portfolios.
How to Plant Corn for Summer Feeding.
How many farmers of Centre
county have perfected their plans for
the summer's work, and the summer's
feed? We all know that the pasture
will fail about mid-summer, and that
we should have something ready to
help it out. For this we believe noth
ing to be better than "fodder-corn"
when properly grown. What we
mean by "properly grown," is told in
the following paragraph from the cor
respondence of the Country Gentle
man. It agrees entirely with our
own experience:
.Two years ago I raised about an
acre of fodder corn to supplement
the failing mid-summer pasture. For
convenience in feeding out, a long
narrow strip adjoining the pasture
field was sown with a grain dull with
all the tubes running. As soon as
the com began to tassel out, it was
cut with a scythe from day to day, as
required, and thrown over the fence
with a manure-fork. The cattle de
voured it eagerly, but it failed to
take the place of the rich grasses of
June, even with a corn meal ration
at each milking time. Sown so thick
it evidently was not very nourishing,
• and it was a good deal of work to
feed it.
Last year a richly-manured piece
adjoining my pasture was planted to
corn, by hand, in hiils. As an exper
iment, I planted that part next the
pasture very thick—from six to a
dozen kernels in a bill—for fodder
com. The fodder com received the
same care as the rest of the field, and
us the tassels began to shoot forth, lr
began cutting in the usuul manner
with a corn-cutter, and when 1 had a
good armful, threw it over the fence
to the cows. I found it was very
much less labor to feed it out that
way than with fork and scythe, ns I
had done the year before. Thus
planted, it eared out well, though of
course where it was the thickest, the
cars were small. The "nubbins"
were the making of lite foddeifuiid
even when the corn had begun to
glaze, it seemed to lie well digested.
And I nmy add I had no occasion to
feed meal while the corn fodder
lasted.
"Push Things" with the Young Stock.
Geo. Geddcs, one of New York's
veteran and most intelligent farmers,
contributes to the Country Gentle
man a thoughtful article upon the
production of beef, from which we
take extracts showing the economy
of liberal feeding in the animal's
earliest days:
The calf should Vie born as early
as March or April, and fed for the
first four months in the most liberal
manner, and gradually accustomed to
grass, and be put entirely on grass
from that time, say August Ist, until
the feed begins to be poor in the fall,
when grain should he given in small
quantities, and, before very rough
weather, shelter provided. At birth,
a calf should weigh from 85 to 100
pounds. Sometimes we have calves
that weigh more than 100 pounds at
birth, but not often. Taking the
weight at 100 pounds, he will weigh
from :100 to 400 pounds at four
months. But such arc the peculiari
ties of different animals, that it is not
easy to predict the exact rate of pro
gress.
Lot us suppose the calf, on the first
day of November, to IK; fed 011 good
clover hay, all it will eat, and one
quart of meal, made by grinding one
bushel of Indian corn with two of
oats, fed each day ; a warm, dry stable
and yard, and plenty of good water.
When this calf is a year old, its
weight will probably lw between f!00
and 900 pounds. A herd of ten will
probably average "00 pounds.
This winter feed lieing continued
until grass ami good pasture are fur
nished, Ihecidves will gain one pound
a day, weighing at '2O months old
from 1)00 to 1100 pounds each.
This supposes nothing more than
ordinary i'air keeping—such as will
return the most for the food and care
given—and this brings us to the be
ginning of the second winter, with
calves that have gained a year in time
us against the common management
of the average farmer.
Now cotnes up the question—shall
these animals be sold from $35 to $45
each, or be kept over winter, well fed,
and sold the next season when beef
brings the best price, say June or
July?
TUerc arc methods of management
that, by giving more feed, will make
larger animals titan i have supposed,
but where and how arc we to get the
beat pay for our work, is the real
point to be aimed at.
Animals not only pay l>cst for the
food consumed in early life, but they
gain more pounds within a given time.
This great law is shown even in chil
dren. The babe that weighed nine
pounds at birth at four months weigh
ed nineteen pounds. The brother of
ten years, who had ciphered to the
rule of three, worked out a sum thus:
If my little brother has gained ten
pounds in four months, what will he
weigh at my age ? When he saw the
answer, he exclaimed, " What a
whopper!" The most authentic
case, illustrating this law, that has
come to my knowledge 1 will give
here, though I am well aware that it
has been made public: Uncle Abe
was the name given to a steer that
was born on the 19th dy of October,
1804, in Orange county, N. Y. At
birth he weighed 134 pounds; nt 90
days old he weighed 385 pounds, hav
ing gained 251 pounds. At 180 days
old he weigher! 070 pounds, gaining
285 pounds. At one year old he
weighed 1,030 pounds, having gained
300 pounds; the whole gain in the
year being 902 pounds,the llrst six
months giving 530 pounds, against
300 pounds the last half of the year.
At eighteen months old he weigher!
1,354 pounds; at two years old he
weighed 1,010 |>ounds; at three years
old he weigher! 2,070 pounds; at four
years old he weighed 2,300 pounds.
The increase of food given was very
great as the animal increased in age,
ami his rate of growtii constantly fell
ofT until it was only 290 pounds for
the last year of his life; only five
pounds more than lie gained in 90
days before he was six months old.
A Hew Method with Greatn.
From the Amnrtcan Dairyman.
L. B. Arnold states that wcll-aircd
sweet cream, twelve hours old, taken
from milk heated from 80° to 120° or
130°, and then cooled down to 00°
within the twelve hours, churns as
readily and makes as fine (and better
keeping) butter as cream, lightly
soured, at forty-eight hours old and
taken from milk of the aame quality
and kept all the time at 00°.
If you wish your fowls to thrive
well during Winter, remember that
J;reen food, regularly supplied, goes
ar toward accomplishing It.
Papa's Sheep Story.
Here's a story for the boys and
girls in our farmers' homes, and many
a one among them can call to mind
some incident of their own lives
which if as well told as this, would
seem much like it. We find it in the
February number of that most ex
cellent children's magazine, St. Nich
o/ui:
DEAR ST. NICHOI.AS: I send you
a story which I lately told to my
three littl<?ones. They often ask for
it, and seem to like it so much that I
thought some of your young readers
might like to read It. .My children
call it "Papa's Sheep Story," and
here it is:
"When 1 was twelve years of age,
my parents lived on a large farm in
Ohio, near Cleveland, and in the
winter my futher used to haul a load
of hay or wood or applts into the
city nearly every day, [when the
weather was fine. One day he started
long after the usual time, and told
me that, as he could not return until
a late hour at night, 1 must do ail the
chores, and be 'very particular to
feed and count the sheep in the south
brush-lot.'
"During the day a heavy snow
storm set in, and it began to grow
dark soon after I got home from
school. While I was doing the chores,
the driving storm and guthering dark
ness tempted me to think it wouldn't
.matter much if the sheep went with
out their supper for once, and that
father would never know I hadn't
counted them. Well, just ns I was
starting to go to the house, my father
unexpectedly drove into the great
barn, and at once asked me,' Did you
feed the sheep, Edward ?'
"It was no time to falter; so, fear
ing to be sent to the south brush-lot,
—which was nearly half a mile dis
tant and bounded on three sides by
a dense forest, which we boys thought
| was filled with bears as large as ele
phants— 1 promptly replied 'Yes,
sir.'"
At this point, I see knowing looks
exchanged among my children.
"'Where did you find them?'was
i tbe next question. I felt I had done
wrong in telling this story, but
thought it would not do to back out
then, so I answered, 'ln the little
! grove, just beyond tbe hollow."
"'Did you count them ?' he asked,
after a pause.
"'Yes, sir, there were thirty-six. I
counted them over three or four
times, and I'm sure they're nil right,'
said I.
"As my father said no more for a
few moments, I felt sure that my
straightforward answers had con
vinced him.
"Presently lie said, 'Edward, go
and ojien the cow-shed door aud then
come and tell me what you see there.'
I did as he said, and—what do you
think I saw?
"My father bad forgotten to turn
the sheep out in the morning, and
they had been in that cow-shed all
day!"
"Oh! oh ! oh!" cry the three little
ones, perched on my knee.
"'Come here to me,'said my fa
ther; 'und I will teach you to be
more truthful in future.' I went to
him, and he taught me.
"Now, children, do you really think
that Papa deserved to IK; punished ?"
Triumphal chorus from all three,
"Yes! yes! yes!"
Yours truly, E. A. I*. *
Keeping Roots.
Mr. James Wood gives in the
Country Gentleman , a suggestion as
to preparing roots for winter keep
ing, which is entirely new to us. If
any of our readers have ex|K?rience
which coincides with this, we should
be glad to bear from them :
A person who is regarded as high au
thority a a writer upon agriculture and
horticulture, has published that "tur
nips may be preserved until spring by
lulling 'iff' the lop* about one ineh from the
bulb, and storing in a cellar," Ac. (The
itabca are mine.) They cannot be so
preserved, except in as small quantities
as one barrel, or the like. When stored
in bulk they will have ■ period #f heat
ing, ns hay stfeat* in the mow. About
the tops are many dormant buds, or
eyes, which then bogin to grow. About
the root are little roots, which then also
start into active life. Thus the heating
is led on, and the whole mass rots to
gether. To guard against this a slice of
the bulb mutt he removed with the top,
and another slice with the root. Then
no growth is started by the sweating,
and the mass quickly cools off in safe
ty. When thus treated, many hun
dred bushels may be kept together in a
cellar, protected from frost, with a little
necessary ventilation.
A Good Suggestion.
from Oi Frmr Rvl*w.
It is now the time to look over the
farm implements and repair and
paint such as are in bad condition
from last year's usuage. A work
bench in some room where a stove
can lie placed and a few inexpensive
tools will enable farmers of even
very slight skill to save many dollars
nnd considerable time in visiting re
pair shops and paying mechanic's
wages for simple repairs.
WATER of tbe right kind and in
the right place is a very essential
thing in the winter management of
stock.
Byuopais of Congressman Aiken's New
Agricultural Bill,
Ifrom tin* PMUtlelpliU Timet.
The bill provides that tbe Depart
ment of Agriculture ahull be an ex
ecutive department, under the super
vision and control of a Secretary of
Agriculture, who shall be appointed
by the President and shall receive
the same annual compensation and
in like manner as the secretaries of
the other executive departments of
the government. That there shnll be
an Assistant Secretary of Agricul
ture, who shall be a practical agricul
turist, to be appointed by the Presi
dent, and who shall perform such
duties as may be perscribed by the
Secretary or may be required by law,
and who ahull be entitled to an annual
compensation of ?:S,SOU. That there
shall be a veterinary division, under
the control of a veterinary surgeon
subject to the authority of the Seen
tury, to which division shall be refer
red ull matters pertaining to the in
spection of imported and exported
live stock, and to the investigation of
the causes, existence and treatment
of disease among animuls ; and said
surgeon shall receive an annual salary
of sd,ooo. That there shall be also a
division of entomology, under the
supervision of an entomologist,
whose duty it shall be, subject to the
control of the Secretary, to investi
gate the habits of destructive insects
and to collect such statistics as will
show their ellects upon the textile,
cereal, and other crops of the United
States, and said entomologist shall
receive an annual salary of SII,OOO.
That in addition to the duties requir
ed of the Commissioner of Agricul
ture under existing law it shall be
the further duty of the Secretary of
Agriculture to collect, collate and
submit to Congress at every regular
session the agricultural statistics of
the United States, including those re
lating to labor and the prices paid
therefor; to the transportation and
freight of agricultural products, live
stock and manufactured articles and
to the number and location of manu
facturies, with their sources of raw
material and their markets. That
laws and parts of laws relating to
; the Department of Agriculture now
| in existence, as far as the same are
not in conflict witli this iut, arc con
tinued in full force and effect.
Care of Boots.
!>r. Ifntn#, in thf Ooatitry
After experimehting with kerosene,
| sulpbqr and nearly everything else, I
have come to tbe conclusion, based
I upon facts, thai gas tar (coal tar) is
| the licst preventative of scurvy and
| lice among poultry that I have dis
covered. For choicra and other mal
adies, 1 believe the tar to be a pro
pbj lactic. The parts of perches,
nests, Ac., which come directly in
contact with the fowls, should be
painted with boiling tar. This will
set in an hour, and will not soil at
all. All parts such as under the
|K*rche and under the nests, Ac.,
j should IK? well painted with the raw
tar. Tar lasts much longer ns a dis
infectant, deodorizer, insect destroy
er, Ac., than anything else. Twice
a year is an amply sutllcicnt applica
tion for all purposes, and pays well.
Kerosene will kill all insects*and IK
otherwise useful, but it evaporates so
quickly that it must be used at least
once a week.
Indications for Rich, Yellow Milk.
: Fm lb Xatioual Lira Si... i, Journal.
A yellow skin and a yellow ear
| (inside) is almost universally re
garded as present in a cow that*gives
rich, yellow milk ; but after you find
1 the indications mentioned above, you
may admire as many other points as
you please ; slim tail, a beautifully
turned dishing face, a drooping, waxv
born, a small straight, slim leg, or
: any other fancy points ; but do not
I look for these till you Lave found
| tbe essentials.
Winter Diet for Hens.
It is hardly possible to speak too
emphatically of the importance of
providing for our bens a winter diet
that shall, to a certain extent, take
the place of and resemble the food
eaten in summer. And, in doing this,
we must remember that in summer
the fowl obtains, by her own exer
tions, tunny articles which we must
endeavor to supply.
Poi-I.TKY-RAIBIKO requires but a
modicum of real work, with, of course,
the regular and eeamlete attention that
must be given to any enterprise to
ensure success. The risks attending
it arc not grcateF than those apper
taining to any other business, if as
mncb. ThoroughncM is tbe great se
cret to success,
THE economy of farm machinery
suffers from two drawbacks ; viz : a
lack of care on the part of the pur
chaser in selecting the good from the
bad, and his neglect to properly care
for it after it goes into his posessio^.
THE mere raising of largo crops
does not make the successful and
prosperous farmer. The ex|>ense of
raising them, whether in the form of
manures or of labor, may eat up the
profits.
ARRANGEMENTS indicate that overy
county in the State will hold an agri
cultural fair this year.
