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

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 :

This table will lie instructive to
those who have not studied the com
mercial value of fertilizers. They may
also be surprised at the amall com
paritive manorial value of corn meal.
As we have often staled,corn meal is
rich in heat and (at forming food,
but |>oor hi nitrogen and the elements I
that build the bones. 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.
