FOR progressive furm work, mar keting produce, huuling out munurt or getting up wood, there in nothing quite equal to good sleighing. The result will IXJ that the year 18*1 opens with a send oil' that will do much to insure agricultural SIICCCHH. Whatever work is got out of the way in winter, will greatly facilitate pro gress when the busy season fairly Ijogins. TIIK question "Wherewithal shall we manure?" is of more \ital im portance to the farmer than peihaps any other which enters into his calcu lations. All who properly appreciate it will find interesting reading in an irticle headed "High Feeding the Cheapest Manure," which will be found in another column of f his page, and for which we are indebted to the Xulional Lin Slur I: Journal. TIIK shortness of last season's hay crop will soon begin to be sevcreh felt by the stock. The scarcity of hay lias induced—perhaps compelled —many persons to undertake to win ter their young stock at least upon straw alone, ami possibly np to this time they may look passing well. * They miy seem full fed, and have the appearance of Ix-ing healthy and hearty, but here, as well as elsewhere. ap|>earances are sometimes deceptive. Midwinter is here, and so far the sinter has been an unusually h.o one upon stock, testing to the utmo tlicir rapacity to withstand -even wetllier. While pov-iilv tr*isfo' cattle may seem to be in fairly good condition now, tie \ w ill undoubtedly soon show a marked failure unless better rations are given tliem from now on. Of course, in times of scarcity like the present it is wic I economy to "save feed" in every | possible way, but we do riot t*lir\ i t wise to siint the stock, and partic nlarly the growing slock. It yn have not the feed to carry all \ our stock until spring, ami do it well, it would be wise to sell some,and biing the feed and the fed nearer a balance. Clean, bright straw will answer vert well to "fill up" on, and healthy i young cattle will manage to extract a good deal of nutriment from it, but it is not sufficient, of itself, to earrv any stock, whether young or old, profitably through such a winter as this. A fair ration of some coarse grain—say corn and cob ground to gether, and mixed with an equal quantity, by measure, of bran—will make all the difference between profit and loss. Are the Jersey Cow* Better than Our Common Scrub*? A few days since we heard this 1 question by one fsrmer, who seemed to IK; somewhat sceptical upon the subject of the superiority of the little Jerseys, of another, who owned sev eral. The reply was entirely satis factory to us, but failed to convince the sceptic. We find the following record in a recent number of the Chantry Grntfrnwn, and transfer it to our columns, not bocmuio it u a rarely good one for a Jersey, but because it is better than can lie furnished, under like circumstances, by any " scrub "j within our knowledge: i My Jersey cow Nellie D. 38? I, and her twodnughters, Fannie ami Bessie, made 4 pounds of butter from Ifl quarts tof mixed milk, after scalding i and standing 3fi hours lie fore skim , tning. The feed was 2 quarts of cob and corn meal to each cow, with upland and meadow liny cut and mixed. Nellie D. is 7 years old, Fnnnie 3, and Bessie 2 the 30tli day 1 of April. Hhecalved May lfftli, 18N0. ; The first 7 days cream from her milk. alter taking off" her r!f. was churned t June 12th, and made 7J pounds of butter; the next 7 days she made 8 pounds, and continued fully up to that quantity for 3 months, when the drouth cut the feed off* so as to grad ually lessen the quantity of milk. The quality and color of her butter cannot lie excelled by any Jersey cow. At the time of this test her feed was grass alone. She is holding out in milk better this winter than any other cow I have. A recent test of her milk gave 30 per cent, cream, j Her sire was Bullion 3079. Amlurti, N. 11. I.J. K, High Feeding the Cheapest Manure. 1 We have often discussed the effect of dairying in carrying off' fertility in the sale of milk or cheese. The thoughtful dairyiiiuu will seek some means of compensation for this loss. 1 The greatest real loss occurs when the cows are very poorly kept, and receive 110 food b it what they obtain from a scanty pasture and the hay put up for winter feeding. They do not produce as much as when well kept, and,' of course, not as much fertility is carried off, but what is carried off' is wholly taken from the land ami no means of compensation provided. Poor feeding is a slow process of starvation, not only of j cattle, but of the soil. And, unfor tunately, poor feeders take much le-s pains to save what little manure their cattle make than good feeders. In many cases, scarcely a load of good manure to the cow goes back upon the land in a form to do any good, the principal part of it being waslu-d away into the nearest stream. Let us suppose that common.spare ! feeding produces 3.ouu lbs. of iniik | per cow. This contains about 120 , Ids. ol caseitie and 21 lbs. of as! ( j and it would carry off some 19 lbs. j of nitrogen, 0 lbs. of phosphoric acid and 3 lbs. of po'nsli. These are the j valuable inanurial elements carried off in the milk of poorlv-fed cows, i , | If we estimate the nitrogen at its | commercial value, 18c. per pound, the 1 phosphoric acid ut 12c., and the pot ash at sc. per pound, the value car j ried off MI the milk will be sl.. r 4; and this is more than the profits on 3,000 lbs, of milk from a cow. But ; this is not all the loss ; to thi* must | be added the lo*s through careless j ncss, which i*. no doubt, more than the i loss in the milk. Let it be noted that under this • spare feeding the cow gets her food of i support, and enough besides to pro ! (luce 3,000 lbs. ol milk ; and it is i certain that all extra food will go to the production of milk, or to lay ! on flesh above lu r normal condi tion. In most cases, all that mu*t ■ ! be deducted from this extra food i* the extra production of milk, the balance of the fertilizing matter it contains may be credited to the man , ore, ami should go to replace the ••I- iiu nt* in the 3,000 lbs of milk. Now, a good cow. under good feeding, should produce fi.OOO lbs. of milk ; and it often h:ip|s-ns that the same row that only produces 3,000 lb*, under common feeding, will double r that quantity of product under judi cious high feeding. Now let us con i *id'i what addition inu*t I e made to her ration to double Iter product of milk. It has Us n pretty well settled that it takes two-thirds of the food of a Hl* fur In r support, without M erease of wiighl or production of milk ; and il if * U- reliable data, then we need only add one third to her present ration to double the pro duction. In making this addition to the food of poorly-fed cons, the feeder will 'letter accomplish his object by se lecting such foods a* will furnish the largest percentage of the constilu i cuts of tin- soil carried off, and at the ! same time be best adapted to the pro j duclion of milk. If the dairyman would reimburse the the soil for the drafts u|Mn it in the production of milk, he must use purchased food, or I that not grown upon the soil he would improve. And the question to lie i first determined is, can lie afford it? We presume it will lie admitted that 1 he can afford it, if the increased quantity of milk yielded will fully i pay for the purchased food, ami leave the increased value of the man ! ure a* profit : for in this case he will keep up the fertility of his land with ; out any expenditure save that of the j labor requited in extra feeding. In | giving this particular combination of! i food, mentioned below, we present it I I only as one out of many combina- j 1 lions that may lie made. We will suppose the dairyman to give this extra ration, after his cows have gradually become accustomed ;to it, for 8 months, or 240 days. Let i j the extra ration consist of 2 lbs. of | malt sprouts, 2 lbs. of new-process linseed meal. 2 lls. of wheal bran, | and 2 lbs of corn meal per day, given in two feeds. In the following table I we will give the amount of each part l of the ration, its cost for the season, ! and the amount of nitrogen, plios- j plioric acid, and potash contained in j each : rm*rrt*tTfo* 4ftf TAITB Of VIT* I BT?"V fi | I I 119 1 i | 11 1 ! ? j R 5 III*. |l(*.

Ft will also be w en that the commercial value of the mineral elements in this combined ration of 8 lbs. per 'lay for 240 days or 1920 lbs. of food per tow, is $lB.- 1 s'l, while iti cost is supposed to IK* only 814.40; and item be purchased ■ in more than half of all the dairy dis tricts for this sum. We give this table also to show pointedly to the dairyman that he can produce fertil izers cheaper by purchasing extra food for his cows, than he can buy the same commercially—that is, the i three elements for which all cummer- I cial manures are valued-—nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash are cheap er in this ration, at its whole cost in market, than the same weight of the same elements can be purchased in any other form, and these fertilizing elements purchased in food are to be depended upon. Hut let lis sec whether the dairy man gets also a return for this extra food in milk. In the case we have supposed >.f a good cow sparely kept and giving 11.000 Ihs. of milk in a season, the addit ion of s ihs. per day to her food would bo quite sure to produce .'I,OOO additional lbs. of milk. ; Hut suppose we reduce the calculn , tion to 2,000 additional pounds of milk, this, at 80c. per hundred (a low price,) would bring $lO, or more j tliun the whole ration would cost. Now, the whole.l,ooo lbs.milk would contain .'l2 lbs. of nitrogen, 10lbs. of j phosphoric acid, ami 9 lb*, of potash ; i so that this extra ration would reim burse all these elements for the j whole milk production, and leave a ! surplus of .'bit Ihs. of nitrogen, .'lO lbs. of phosphoric acid,and 10 Ihs of potash. 'I he cows should be given this extra ration while on scanty pasture, and the pasture would con stantly improve instead of l>cing irn povcrislied. We are anxious to turn the atten tion of dairymen to the production ot their own fertilizers, and we think a careful study of these figures will show that old dairy districts roav im prove the fertility of their lands un der a system of profitable dairying. Training H' ifer*. It is a very easy matter to train a heifer to stand quicllv to !>e milked, but it is an easier matter to train them to jump, kick and run. The way to teach them to stand siiil i t*j always require them to do so. The way to teach tin m is a good .-<•?- tuiiitv for doing so. If there j naught to hinder n wild heifer from running, and if her fears prompt her to run, she can and will run. On the con i trary, if she cannot run, in a short time she loses her fear and stands ! from habit, and habit is one of the most powerful influences in this wml l for cither brute or man. If vou want to transform a wild heifer into a wi li-ltehaved, well-trained cow you must l.c patient and exhibit no temper. Never Stiike or kick her. v li- most lir-t of all get acquainted with you, and learn that vou will not hurt her. Mic must barn not to fear vou. If, in winter, it is lust to milk | in the stable, make a little fuss and as f. w fila irnng motions as possible; handle her \< rv gently. He careful not to pinch the teats. This is the great source of trouble. A cow naturally wishes to Is- rid of her miik. !>he stands quietly until some careless milker has given a sqeeze that hutls, when she kicks and runs. Hy allowing such a course a lew times the habit will le confirmed. The In st way to manage, if you have no stable, is to have a tall, well-fenced vard, ami teach your heifers to stand ' f'T milking in that; or, next best, to tie them, using them very quietly. i No man or hoy is fit to handle ani mal* unless he can control them and control himself. Neither is it right to chastise the ignorant. Good Farmers Need Not Fear Competition. Tr-'m !lr C mntnr In tins ag. of steam transportation, the failure of crops in one country, or in a single locality, has really little effect on market prices, except in mall markets difficult of access. I here is usually a failure of crops somewhere every year, but this only makes a market for the surplus of another country, and there is little chance of breadstuff* reaching star vation prices. Another lesson to be heeded is the fact that nearly always there is more difference between the highest and lowest prices for any product than there is between one year and another. The inference in obvious—(he man that puts hia pro duce into market in first-class condi tion, and the one who produces live biggest crops per acre, are the men who have little to fear from competi | lion. J I NKvra knew any one that was , 100 good or too smart to lie s farmer. The blue sky, the balmy breezes and green field* never tainted any pure | man's morality or dwarfed any noble | man's intellectual ability. KICKS in lamb should, as far as practicable, lie fed and sheltered sep arate from the non-breeding animals, as the crowding and more rapid movements of the latter are apt to result injuriously. Ir fowls must run short of food or water, let It be food. Water they must have, and it should be kept as • clean M possible.
