AND, POULTRY. INTERESTING CHAPTERS FOR OUR RURAL READERS. How Successful Farmers Operate This Department of the Farm—A Few Hints as to the Care of Live Stock and Poultry. The Cow and Her Drink. Foa dairyman wants to treat him- self to a genuine surprise, let him keep his herd of milk giving cows in the stable, and give them water in such a way that the weight drunk by each cow can be ascertained, and be on hand so that each cow may have all she will desire, and when she wants it, writes John Gould in Country Gentleman. We have been through a little experience of this kind, and the quantity drunk by each cow was found out. It is an experi- ment one will not care to follow up more than a week, before the faucet at the big tank will be turned, and the cows drink out of the basins again. The triak was made with six cows, and it was found that the average quantity consumed daily varied with individual scows from 70 to 140 pounds. One cow drank this last quantity daily right along, and some the smaller quantity, with an average of 90 pounds each. Another thing we found was that some of the cows would drink very often, i. e., their buckets would be frequently found empty, and others drank at long- er intervals; and one cow wanted about all her twenty-four hours’ supply at one time, and would only drink a little towards night. As these cows were being fed 50 pounds each of ensilage a day, it is seen at once that succulent food did not play any important part in the economy of drinking water. It tiled have of late years been very num- | erously represented at the shows. The’ plumage of the Blacks is glossy black throughout; the Mottled (fig. 8) are of broken black and white in wings, { and sickles, and the balance of the | plumage is evenly mixed with white | and black; the White Java is, as the | name implies, pure white throughout. They have a small single comb, stand- ing upright on the head in both male and female. Their shanks and toes are free from feathers, yellow in color, with the bottom of feet yellow. The standard weight of cocks is 9% pounds; hens, 7% pounds; cockerels, 8 pounds; and pullets, 6% pounds. Dominiques.—Similarity in plumage of the American Dominique and Barred Plymouth Rock has been the price of the former’s popularity. Their color is grayish-white, each feather regularly crossed with parallel bars of blue-black, producing the effect of a bluish-tinged plumage, the color being the same throughout. The _ illustra- tion of Barred Plymouth Rock feath- ers will do equally well for the mark- ings of the feathers of the Dominique. They have rose combs, in both male and female, and bright yellow legs. Those who are partial to their color of plumage will find the Dominique a good bird to keep. They are good lay- ers, hardy, mature early, and dress well for the table. The standard weight of cocks is 8% pounds; hens, 6% pounds; cockerels, 744 pounds; and pullets, 54% pounds. Horses Decreasing. The large majority of farmers who own horses seem to be quite anxious to get rid of them, even at low prices. Where the farm is mortgaged, and the horses can be spared better than any- thing else on the farm, this is all right, as it is better to lose the horse than the home; but where it is not, we regard it as very unwise and foolish, says the Kentucky Stock Farm. In a country like ours, where one extreme follows another, it is not wise to float with the current or follow the herd. From 1880 to 1890 we bred entirely too many horses of all classes, and as a natural = = =<; PAIR OF BLACK JAVAS. was also found that the desire of a cow for water was about an hour after eat- ing, but the evening thirst was never so great as in the morning. With some of the cows there was some variation in the quantity of water consumed daily, but with others it was as steady in quantity as standard measure. In this there might be some variation in results from some other herd not so cared for; these cows being continuous- ly stabled at the time of the experi- ment, while a herd that ran out-doors more or less might show different re- sults. In another thing I was con- vinced, that a cow did better that drank several times a day, and so con- vineed was I of this, that a watering system for the cow stables was put in several years ago; and my opinion of their value has never changed, more than a more thorough belief in their promoting the milk flow; and if our cows were to be turned out every day for exercise, I should not connect out- door drinking with it, but hold to the manger water basin. In this connec- tion there is another point I think of importance, and that is in stable water- ing there is uniformity of the tempera- ture of the water, and the cow, being habituated to drinking water at say 52 degrees day after day—as the water in my big stable tank indicates—is not subjected to the extreme teraperature ranges of out-door drinking water, and air included, and she must do the bet- ter for this uniformity, with the shocks to the cow’s system eliminated. Standard Varieties of Chickens. Javas.—This variety is the oldest of the. American class, and at one time was considered the most profitable of all breeds. At present they are not Mottled Java hen. tatsed extensively; the more modern or newer breeds have seemingly sup- planted their favoritism. There is no reason why this should be so, as they are practical and good general-purpose fowls. In size they are about like the Plymouth Rocks, but differ in general symmetry and appearance. They are good layers and do well in winter, and for table purposes they make nice eating. They mature early, are good sitters and mothers, and are easily kept in confinement. There are three varieties of Javas: Black, Mottled and White. The Black is more generally seen than thg gthers, though the Mot- consequence we are now suffering a period of low prices. Our next predica- ment, if all signs do not fail, will be a great scarcity of horses. We base this opinion upon the fact that everybody is selling and that very few are breed- ing. We do not believe there are more than 10 per cent of the horses being bred in the United States to-day that there were six years ago. This can aot possibly help but produce a great shortage, and this shortage in supply can have but one effect—namely, to in- crease the price. As it takes five years to produce a four-year-old colt, and as the time can not be abridged by any possible means, and as the breeding be- gan to fall off quite materially in 1893, tour years ago, the shortage is bound to begin to manifest itself inside of the next two years. The produce of mares bred this season will not be four years old, or ready for market, before 1902, and between this and that time we prediet that there will be a much greater shortage of horses of all kinds than has been seen in this country for many years.—Breeder and Sportsman. Sitting Hens.—Sitting hens mever get fat. In fact, with some of the per- sistent sitters of the Asiatic breeds, the semi-starvation to which they ex- pose themselves is, perhaps, better for their future as egg producers than high feeding weuld be. Still it is not best to let this starvation go too far. The hen will not eat nor drink much, but if feed and drink are offered early in the morning, some of both will be taken. We never feed a sitting hen anything but wheat, and do not give very much of that. It is more impor- tant that the hen drink freely than that she eat much. She will sometimes drink if milk is offered to her at night. With wheat in the morning and milk at night, the hen will lose fat, but will be healthier and ready to go to lay- ing again by the time her clutch of chickens is grown large enough to care for themselves.—Ex, Skunk Flavored Butter.—These but- ter experts know some things or think they do. One of Bremer county’s creameries had part of a shipment of butter sold at two or three cents balow the top, and just because “the cows had eaten wild onions.” There are nc! wild onions here, and if the expert whe sent back that word had been in the creamery when the skunk was killed he would understand where the joke comes in.—Waverly Republican, Every neighborhood has a farmer a little more progressive than the aver. age, one who always has the best oj everything. These are the persons t¢ whom to go for improved stock, fo; advice as to breeds, for lessons in the care of stock. i The best preaching is not always done in the pulpit, Australian Alfalfa-Fed Stock. In Australia the great value of lu- eerne to the pastoralist consists ir grazing stock on it, says a writer ir Australasian. The employment of man} hands in farming operations, such at conserving lucerne in the form of hay or ensilage, is dreaded by all flock ané herd owners. Nevertheless I am @ firm believer in the conservation 01 fodder in beth forms, so that the stock may be helped over a bad season. By the aid of modern agricultural ma- chinery hay-making is easily ané cheaply performed, and the labor anc cost are still less when ensilage is made. Many stock-owners are of opin- ion that lucerne is better for making fairly good sheep and cattle prime than for fattening stores from the first In both cases the stock would prob- ably do better if they had a grass pad- dock with the lucerne. All stock like a change of foo, and will do bette: with a change than with a single ar- ticle of food, no matter how nutritious it may be. While on Mr. J. S. Hors- fall’s estate of Widgiewa I met with 2 good illustration of the value of lu- cerne on a pastoral property. The manager (Mr. Morrison) weans the stud lambs at a very early age, anc when taken from their dams they are put on 4 lucerne. The result is thai the lambs never sustain the slightesi check, and the ewes, relieved from the burden of having to support a lamb come into the shearing-shed in splen- did condition. I saw the stud ewes about a month after the lambs wert weaned, and they were kicking ur their heels as if the cares and troubles of maternity did not exist. The ver; heavy fleeces yielded by the lambs or this estate are sufficient recommenda- tion of the practice of early weaning on lucerne. In a favorable winter ir Riverina there is often a good growtt of lucerne, but it is not nearly as nu tritious as that of spring and summe? growth. Mr. P. McFarland told mé that he had made an experiment whict proved this. He divided a flock 0° wethers equally, one-half he placed or lucerne, the other on native grass They were sold at the same time, anc those off grass were better, and real ized a higher price than the others Australian live stock husbandry is entering upon a new development which will be hastened by the growins of wheat in Riverina, and in this de velopment lucerne is destined to play a very important part. It will cause double, if not treble, the number o: stock to be kept, and it will provide the fodder (made into hay or ensiiage) that will cause the losses from droughts to be reduced till they wil ve scarcely worth recording. How He Got Good Prices. A farmer who kept the best stock tt be had, and whose eggs were alway: fresh and his fowls plump, complainec that he got no more for them than hi: neighbor, who gave his flocks but lit tle attention, says a writer in Mirro) and Farmer. Both shipped their pro duce to the same city, to be sold by ¢ of eggs per year. When we reflect or commission merchant. His friend, whe had listened to the complaints, remark ed: “How can you expect customer: to know that you have something choice to sell when you do not maki the fact known? Why do you not ad vertise?” The farmer remarked tha only breeders advertised. “You try it,’ said his friend. The farmer insertec an advertisement in a leading daily, a: follows: “A farmer who collects hi: eggs daily, and who keeps pure brec fowls, desires families to send order: to him direct; no egg over 24 hour: old.” The result was that in less thar a week he had more applicants thar he cold supply with twice as many hen: as he possessed, and with only one ad vertisement, which cost him less tha: a dollar, There were customers wait ing fof him, and as soon as he mad himself known they came. He receivec from 19 to 15 cents per dozen mori than the market price for eggs and hi: customers were willing to pay well fo them. Feeding Dry Cows. It is now pretty well established says a writer, that it pays as well t feed cows grain pretty liberally wher dry as well as when giving milk un less the pasture be especially good says Kansas Farmer. This is a fac that many dairymen lose sight of anc suffer for the neglect. A cow that i: profitable in the dairy is not a flest former by any means. In fact, shi becomes quite poor as a usual thin: while milking, and in order to enabl: her to stand the strain of this deple tion she should be made to gain rap idly in flesh during that period tha she is dry. This does not mean tha she should be fed highly on milk-pro ducing food just before calving, but i means that after going dry she shouk have liberal feeding until say a weel before calving. If any fear is enter tained of her being too fat at calvin; time a good sharp purgative just be fore or after calving will obviate an) trouble along that line. Non-Resident Cattlemen in Kansas.— Farmers and cattlemen in Westeri Kansas have contended for twent; years against the encroachments o non-resident cattlemen, who bring thet stock in the spring into the state an “run them,” in some instances assum ing the prerogative of building fence promiscuously across the country unde: alleged leases. This has been going o1 for years and has caused great difficul ty for the small cattle raisers. Th nonresident owners secured all benefit and escaped all taxation. To remed; this a Hamilton county representatiy: has introduced a bill providing that al non-resident cattlemen having stock o1 pasture shall pay into the county treas ury a certain sum. It is not intende: by the measure to gain heavy revenues but to keep the interlopers out.—Hx, Texas will make a park of the Sar Jacinto battle ground. TE BROUGHT HER STRENGTH? Story of How a St. Pan!
