Tips For the Farmer BY UNCLE JOSH. Premerrrrresrasrsaseen 7 EN A Rig Yield of Corn, A prize of $50 was offered for the heaviest yield of milage corn grown from the Fureka variety on one acre of land. This prize was awarded to Mrs. H. William Harris, of Lenawee county, Mich. Mrs. Harris, in writing ihe Rural New Yorker of what she bas accomplished, says: "We planted two-thirds bushel of Sar corm on three acres of land. Une acre is a fine clay loam and was, ised only for pasture the year before. After this land had been carefully pre- pared we drilled into it with a grain {rill 350 pounds of phosphate. We set the drill for 200 pounds to the acre, and went over it one way; then we set the drill for 150 pounds to the acre, and went the other way over the land. This acre yielded something more than fifty tons of fodder ripe corn. There'is something more than 100 bushels of ripe ears of corn. The other two acres are gravelly loam which had been thickly covers rich manure from the cow stable du the winter. One acre of this piece, one on which we won the prize, had been, part of it, an old hen yard, and the rest an old hog yard. This land was carefully prepared and some phosphate hoed into the ground after the corn was up, the hoeing on both pieces always being just thoroughly stitring the top of the soil, not deep mough to disturb the rootlets, The «orn was planted with a' two-horse planter, set to sow seven inches apart in the row. The clay loam was plant xl "May 15th, the other two May 30th. It was carefully ted, and, as said above, hoed. he erop was as high as a head the folinge was so dense as no"elance for to and with the acres, cultiva- After man's there grow, wither could it be hped or cultivated. We needed feed through the long dry ime of last summer. We began to leed off the two acres about the 25th of July, and kept five cows, four horses, a number of hogs, geese, ete., ever since We have filled a small sito, forty-five tons, and are still feeding from corn raised on these two wres. Everything eats it as they do weet corn. The stalks are large but tender, there was little waste 'when fed green from the field, I think that we can keep our seven head of cattle ind four horses on these two wd have feed left," Rural Yorker, in comment ng on the foregoing, ays of us could hope to start with a hen- yard and hog vard and cover it thickly with manure, and even if we lid the chances are we would run in- to a drought or early frost." Still, what has been accomplished shows the possibilities in thorough fertilization ind equally thorough cultivation. weods acres As New "Few Feed For Hogs: breed® and partly in the ordinary {narket gel cost $5,000 for feed and attendance¥QvO men being paid | $40 and $50 per Ih very. I'he cost of fencing for summer runs was also figured in. The hogs dispos- wl of realized $7,000, or $2,000 over and above cost of ance. Nothing was allowed in this cal- culation for the first cost of the build- ing on the one hand, or value of ma- nure on the other, and pig manure is, Prof. Grisdale said, the most valuable manure on the farm. On the basis stated, the returns were $2,000 in ex- was of outlay. The breeding pigs sold at six weeks at $8 per pair. The ba- con hogs made a profit of about $2 per head. About 24,000 of the total returns came from breeding stock, and $3,000 from those fed for market. Speaking of feeding, Mr. Grisdale said that, with meal alone, it takes about five pounds of grain for each pound of gain in finishing hogs. With skim milk and roots in addition three pounds of grain will make a pound of pork, the milk and roots added being equal in value to another pound grain. of Poultry Pointers. Says a well-known poultry During my long experience with fowls 1 have scores of times been asked whether it is not advisable to run really good layers for three years when it is known for a certainty that they have proved themsefves to be great money-makers, which means they must have come hom a good strain, "Heatherlea'" writes in Farmer and Stockbreeder, Hens that are three years old may turn out to be good layers, but there is a lot of risk a«t- tached to keeping them and this is what utility poultry keepers cannot afiord to run. : It is well-known that if hens kept until the third year their eggs are very large, but how many cus tomers will give more for eggs simply because they happen to be large ones? Not many, I think. In some parts of the country, notably in the north of England, it is quite a common practice for people to kill or sell even yearling hens. Although this will sax- prise a lot of people, there is far pore gensé in it than there appears at the first glance. In 'places where the, winters are cold it takes a very long "time to complete man are is on the birds long belore they are in a fit condition to start laying, while every poullry keeper knows that when cold weather comes and yearling odds are greatly against them start- feed and attend- the moulting process, and bad weather heps have not commenced to lay the BRITISH WHITES, ing until spring Aptroaches. case of those who keep just eross-bied fowls | have often thought it will pay them quite as well, if not better) to kill off at the beginning of the moult- ing period. f . ---- Typical Dairy Farm. A typical dairy farm of the modern class is to be found about two and a balf miles out of Brockville, along the road that leads to Lyn, says the Foronto Weekly Globe. It is known as Avondale farm, and is owned by Arthur C. Kardy, son of the late Hon. A. 8. rdy, premier of On- tario. It ig/sven over largely to dairying ithough a considerable yuantity of grain is harvested These each year. Mr. Hardy's wtock ig all Holstein, his herd comprising . seventy head, being all registered animals, A large cow that was purchased for the farm less than a year ago, registered under the mame "May Echo Silvair," has gaven over 14,000 pounds of milk in eight months, establishing almost a record for the province. I'he stables on the Avondale farm are an example of what can be ac complished by the way of installing labor and time saving devices, No- table among these age the litter and feed carriers, the latter running direct | from the foot of a large silo to the | opposite end of the stable, and the] litter carriers going a good distance | out from the buiiding, A new calf | stable has just been erected, separate aecominodation for eight animals. The floors have been covared with 'coal tar, the walls whitewashed and the building has an unusually bright and clean appear- ance, A small stove with steam pipe conneetions ' passing each calf stall will provide heat on the "cold winter nights, A principle of the tardy farm with regard to calves is that they are scarcely ever allowed to go out on the pasture until they are a year old, it being believed that they better on stable Teed than on fodder. During the past with twenty- do green summer between twenty and thirty cows have been pro- ducing milk, and, uniike the dairy farms of the district, this was not sold for the manufacture of cheese, but was separated and the cream churned by a large steam churn on the premases. Although the high price { of cheese this vear has made dairying toward that end more profitable, there have no doubt heen a number of farmers who have found that making butter paid them better, especially where they had a large number of calves, as on the Avondale place. Notes of Interest. A small amount of alfalfa may, said Prof. Day, be fed to hogs of any age but it is not suitable for young pigs. In experimental carried on at the 0.A.C, pigs fed a little over a pound of alfalfa per day and four and one: third pounds of this grass proved equivalent to one pound of dry meal. It gave rather better results than the same weight in skim milk. At sas experimental station, Prof. = Day gaid, 170 ponnds of green alfalfa had been found equal in feeding value to 100) pounds. of corn, but this considered an extreme case. Alfalfa hay may also be used with advantage 'in wintering mature hogs, especially brood sows, as it provides the bone and muscle forming material so necessary for the litter that is be- ing carried. For this purpose it should Th: steeped in water and mixed wit) nr. . i : It is quite a washing milk utensils hot water. This is not the best method, « In boiling milk a skin forms on it. The hot water likewise hardens this on to the sides of the ullk vessel, making it hard to re- move. The better way is to first rinse the utensil in cold water, and it should be rinsed as soon as it is emptied of milk, or else the milk will dry, and then rinwing will not so thoroughly 'remove it. "I've had a great experience year in vealing calves," says W. Stearer, of Bright, Ont. "I had heard about it being profitable, so when one of my grade' crows brought twins I thought I'd try Vealing them. At five weeks old I killed them and they sold for 818.50, which was more than the cow could have done milk. Other cows were coming during the summer, so every case 1 turped the calves over to this cow to raise, and she id not object as long as they were black and white. Altogether she has rais- ed fifteen. calves: "since 'last March. | sold the last one the other day for R13, and out of "the bunch I Made %111.
