A. buyer will ofteln strike a bunch of 800d 0“- tle, and could tie them all up to a good advantage, whereas there may be a few good heifers. also a few good mul- leys, which he could not handle for loose feeding. The seller would not break up his drove unless a good prem- ium was paid. which would interfere greatly with the feeder's profits. These are points I have gained during the winter which has just passed and which lead me to discard any idea of ever building a new barn laid out for the purpose of feeding loose cattle; and perhaps these. lines willlead others to investigate this important matter for $NIWNMWM€WW mVMIWi‘Mfiflflc‘rbj: oome a good feeder and playful, he is simyly a marvel to the cattle kind. for play he will every time fresh straw is put in and oftener than that. I have often seen half of mine lie down to rest and some scamp would not content him- self tillhe had them all up for a gen- eral play. Think of forty or fifty young strong steers getting into a frolic. Would not they make things hum? This is when the bedding gets ground to chaff and when they prepare themsel- ves for a big supper, and the more you feed the better they feel and conse- quently play the harder. No one can imagine for one moment! that these cattle can all come out of this mad gam- bol, the weaker ones especially, with- unit a jam of some kind against the wall or a center post, which will show up when the hide is removed if not be- fore. Then in loose feeding there is less chance to doctor a sick animal and more chance of them getting sick. It is not an easy matter to get the sick one selected from the rest, and if the treatment should prove successful the owner would want to turn him in again. This, however. would be a ven- turesome thing to do, for it is quite possible that the other fellows would worry him to death when he returned. In such cases it‘ would be advisable to build an extra place to he used as DEHORNING FEEDING CATTLE. A very iniportanv point is that of safety to cattle. We are told how very quiet and sheep-like these animals are when dehorned. Well, they are toacer- tain extent, and less dangerous; but put plenty of good strong feed into a two or three-year-old steer and house him snugly all winter, and if he does not be- help a “poor feeder" along by a 8136' cial mixture, or perhaps a tonic. Some- times a steer will eat ravenously. and if permitted, as in loose feeding. would gorge himself so that he would go “off feed” for a day or two; andin those cases the feeder has no chance to give a ration that he will take regularly. It is in these special cases and among these uncommon actors that the old style is preferable, as the new way is illnpixactioalble, Iln’ feeding loose" cat; tle they should be dehorned steers and of nearly equal age as well as weight. Heifers in season every three weeks would be very objectionable, and mul- leys would be nearly as bad with the poll as horned steers with the horns. for a mulley is a must merciless fight- er. Then a man would be foolish to think that he could for a number of years secure just: a certain kind of cattle, and thus it would be equally foolish to put the necessary expendi- ture into a building for that particu- lar purpose. He cannot raise all steers and no heifers for feeding; neither can a sort of nursery: and this indicat- 68 extra expense.

That this trouble should have become so prom- inent, and so prevalent, and so univer~ sal since the adoytion of the combined churn and butterworker. seemingly would indicate that the canbined olhunn and butterworker has not yet been per- fected to the extent that it is a perfect machine. In conversation with abut- bermaker who thoroughly understands the work in a creamery, he had tried one of the celebrated makes of combined churns. and was dbliged to discard it simply for the reason that he could not depend every time on uniform results. There would be occasionally. and en- tirely too frequent. cases of mottled and wavy butter. He had given the matter careful consideration. and found that with the amount of inside fixings that thecombined churns and butterwork- ers carry. there were places for lodg- ment of small particles of butter that did not get ulted. that remained in those places during the whole business of working and salting the butter. and been almost as many theories in re- gard to the cause as there have been Parties who have written the Darties concerning them, commissionmen and dealers generally, and each one has a different theory. The editors of the papers have their own theories gener- ally a different one, and the butter- rnaker _has his theory different from 6. Trees during sunshine yield vital- ized (oxygen. (Ihemically, there. may be the usual amount of oxygen in the air, yet be deficient in vitality. Devit- alized oxygen is favorable to the ex- istence of microbesâ€"spore life in the air we breathe. In stagnant air, spores increase with great. rapidity. They operate as ferment. They and foul air are alike destructive to men, ani- mals, plants. and their products. And especially so to fruits, and roots in the stagnant air of cellars. and to chil- dren raised in cellar basements.

Unsheltered fields in hot weath- er are exposed to a rapid absorption of their moisture, and to a sudden arrest of plant growth, and. during nights. to an absorption of their warmth. The conditions favorable to plant life are an even temperature and a humid at- mosphere. The report alluded to states: “The amomnt of: water given off by the leaves of‘ trees in warm days is vastly greater than any one not ac- quainted with the results of experi- ments can suppose. As near as can be made out, a large-sized forest tree throws into the air in hot weather about fifty barrels a day; forty gal- lons to the barrel. This may seem in- credible, but it is not above the estim- ated amount on a small scale. Tree roots have been found 25 feet below the surface; they pump water from that. depth into the air.” 5. Timber belts of evergreen and deciduous trees together are of great value for enclosing pastures. The grm will be more abundant and will yield a bite later in the fall and ear- lier in the spring than do exposed pas- tures. Animals under such conditions of shelter and of feed will yield more milk and of_a better quality._ _ 7. The shelter of these belts suggests the idea that the more delicate fruits can be grown to profit under their pro- tectlio'n. Grape vines especially need shelter. Their great leaves and all fruits suffer damage in a turbulent at- mosphere. , The yellows in peach trees is simply a disease of the lungsâ€"the tree has got the consumption ; as many do who live in an unsheltered country. One-third in shelter belts of ever- greens would lessen the ravages of consumption. add to the longevity of its people, to the fertility of its soil. and wealth of its inhabitants. posed to driving winds, have some of the finest of the soil lifted into the air and carried off. 8. The effect of draining land is to carry off the underground moisture. Trees drain moisture into the atmos- phere; the hotter the weather the more active are they to impart humidity to the air. s MOTTLED BUTTER. UNDERTAKIN fewer: as a unplc of the [61" «8.
