"We dairymen know that the 6 only sure road to success in‘ the dairy re is by way of heading of this article. T Having lived on a dairy farm all my $® life, my mind goes back to the time % when as a school boy, I used to have is the calves to feed, and drive the cows & \to and from the pasture; I therefore s . speak from experience. It was then I a | learned through kindness we can make | , ‘ nearly all dumb an{\mals love us. The a cow may be termed a ‘jaboratory, where milk is produced from the food she t eats and the water she drinks, and she & cannot be expected to turn out a good s article unless supplied with wholesome food and good water. I insist on our : cows having kind and gentle treatâ€"| j ment. I never allow them to be dogâ€" | ( ged or run while going to and from ‘ the pasture. We never misuse our ] boots or milking stool in attempting to | reform an unruly or refractory cow,. Nine times out of ten the remedy will |â€" make matters worse. If she cannot be overcome by kindness she is worth more to the butcher than for adairy cow, I give my cows daily outâ€"ofâ€"doors , | exercise in winter when weather will permit, but never expose them to seâ€" | vere storms. I salt my cows often; y that is the way they like it. If their teats are sore or cut I apply a good healing salve and keep my finger nails ‘ | trimmed closely. For all these little acts of kindness she repays me grandâ€" , | ly. I take special care in preparing " | milk for the factory. I get a can of bhot water at the factory, and with a liberal quantity of washing powder give the cans, pans and strainer & thorough cleansing each morning, 80 they will be well aired before using. â€" | Milk must be well cooled and sceruâ€" pulously clean for best results. Do not depend too much on the strainer. * | If dirt is ailowed to get into the milk c | it cannot be all taken out, I have ‘dralned my rough pasture by ditchâ€" * | ing. I do not allow them to go to pas~ & ‘ture in the spring until the ‘grass is C well started, usually about the midâ€" dle of May. Therefore, there is no mud for them to wallow in. If the â€" | udder gets fouled from any cause it must be washed before milking. I keep stables well cleaned and liberal â€" ly supplied with bedding. I use the reâ€" p fuse of shredded or cut cornfodder for this purpose, as it will rapidly absorb P | the liquid manure so the barn will be comparatively dry and free from foul odor, which is sure to taint the milk, "~ | We air our stables thoroughly each af | day; and keep the mangers clean; for ro | the cows eat with their noses in the 1( | dish and their breath fouls the food <I0O ARCHIVES TORONTO if too much fool is given them at once. By observing these precautions our cows keep clean, and with proper care in milking we have clean mi.lk. As a successful methodical phyâ€" gician requires his patients to take their medicine promptly on time, so we, to be successful dairymen, must be good farmers, prompt, systematic business men, and above many things on time. We milk, feed and water our cows regularly. I set the alarm clock to ring us up at the same time each morning. ‘The milkers have the same cows to milk all through the season. I never allow changing unless in case of emergency. The milking is done as rapidly as possible after oommenging. HINTS FOR THE FARMER. p. m. I clean the stables twice per day while cows are in the yard, exerâ€" cising or drinking. I feed liberally of shredded cornfpdder twice per day, and | hay once; also corn meal, ground oats and bran mixed, from two to six quarts, according to condition of cow, twice per day. I also feed some oil meal or stock food in winter. Reducing the cost of production is a subject that is puzzling the majority of dairymen. In these times of low prices and close| competition nearly all profits depend. upon reduction of cost. Our cows are | the machines for converting the grains,| cornfodder and bay into a marketable commodiity, nameiy, milk. The first reâ€" quisite for this purpose is a good maâ€" chine. A poor cow is an unprofitable investment. I plant from eight to ten acres of thickâ€"drilled corn, part being Evergreen sweet corn, which generally proves a good investment. â€"An imâ€" mense amount can be raised to the acre, and it is better than hay for winâ€" ter feeding after running through the fodder ‘cutter. Also in case the pasâ€" turse should fail from protracted _drought, it can be fed green. In this ' way T keep up the milk flow cheaply, which would be quite expensive otherâ€" I water twice per day in yard,> from 8.30 to 9.30 a, m., and, from 4.30 to 5.30 wise.

FALL PLOWING OF STUBBLE LAND. { The most common mistake in preâ€" | ; paring ground for fall grains is waitâ€" | , ing until just before seeding time Of | , about the last week in August and the | ; first in September. There are several | ; reasons why early plowing is the best. | , The weeds that have started after the | ; cutting of the small grains are turned | , under and kept from seeding. This | . is no small consideration where the |. ground is at all foul. «If some of the seeds near the surface should sthrt after plowing, go over the field with a harrow or some kind of a cultivator and allow one to develop. The chief vatue of early plowing is | the land bhas an opportunity to become well pulverized and compacted before seeding time. 1f the land is bard when plowed the nunmierous workings _which should be given~ it with the rains of | | late summer and early autumn, will | dissolve the clods and obliterate dam-‘ | age if present whon the seed is sown.. Many failures with winter grains can . be traced to late plowing and imperâ€". ‘| fect preparation of the seed bed. R Begin plowing as soon &S the shocks | | have been removed from the field. This p will vary from the lirst week in July to the second in August. A depth of i | about five inchss is usually sufficiâ€" y | ent, depending sumewhat upon the , | character of the suil. In a few days 1| £o over the field with a barrow in order to level the ground and create â€"|a& soil multch to prevent excessive ; | evaporation. _ iDrag or roll several p | times during the fall and follow each a time with a harrow to loosen the surâ€" * | face. wSeed the fall grains from Sept. s | 10 to 20, always using a press drill. SALT FOR LAYING HENS. Considering egg production for conâ€" sumption (not hatching) on:y, hens may be stimulated somewhat by the use of cayenne pepper or other warming conâ€" diments. Some good feeders do not use condiâ€" ments of any sort, unless salt may be classed as one. It is not a bad rule, if condiments are used, to season the food as yOU would for your own taste, Now, tastes differ, hut the longer one uses condiâ€" ments, the stronger or thicker he wishâ€" es themâ€"follow the same plan with the fowls. Always season with a little salt whether you believe in condiments Rock salt, or salt that contains large crystals, shouia not be exposed _ so fowls can help themselves, as they would be apt to belp themselves to it for grit, and it would not take long for an injurious, if not fatal, amount to be swallowed. or not. Experiment has shown that a quarâ€" ter of a pound of salt may be fed to 100 hens each day with injurfous efâ€" fects, after they have been fed A smaller amount for some days preâ€" vious. It is probable that an ounce 3 day for 100 mature fowls is about right for health and best results. There is bardly a town in Great Briâ€" tain and ITreland in which the old horseâ€" shoe may not be seen nailed up to a door; and the idea is even carried so far that horseshoes in miniature are . wWoOrn as amulets or charms, or nailed up at the desks in officesâ€"all with the same idea of bringing the occupier _ Of owner good luok. A few people out of the thousands and tens of thousands who follow the custom have better information on the subject for the horseshos is not any more an emblem of good luck than any piece of old iron found by the wayâ€" gide. right for The good luck tradition belongs to the latter part of the Middle Ages, and has no direct conneciion with the horseâ€" shoe at all. Iron was the metal sacred to Mars, and the nopular idea of the middle ages was that Mars is the perâ€" petual enemy of Saturn, the liegeâ€"lord of witches. _ Hence to find a piece of iron and nail it up with devout faith was to be protected from Saturn. the evil deity of the astrologers of those days. This idea again is manifestly taken from the Roman conception of driving iron nmails int>o the porches of their MOTESCD. But the borseshoe tradition not on!y goes back to the days of the Romans, but obviously demands something more ;o account for the preference exhibited or it. If it was reflected for a moment how commonly the emblems of the early Christians are seen in all the monuâ€" ments of the Middle Agesâ€"notably the palm branch. the fish, the Chiâ€"Rbo and the circle, and the Aiphaâ€"Omega interâ€" twinedâ€"then the obvious analogy of the form of the horseshoe to the Greek capital letter Omega caunnot fail to be perceived. "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last." Viewed in this way the horseshoe becomes a potent sign. Without such association, it is a piéce of old ironâ€"nothing more. Aubrey, the old English writer, says in his "Miscellanies" that "it is a thing very common to nail horseshoes on the thresholds of doors, which is to hinder the power of witches to enter the house. It should be a hborseshce that one finds." In the poet Gay‘s fable of the "Old Woman and Her Cats," the supposed witeh emplains as follows: ORIGIN OF aA SUPERSTITION THE BOYS ARE FLOGGBD, CORPORAL PUNISHKMENT IN BRITAIN‘S NAVY. But the Cat ‘o Nime Tails is now Unknown | â€"In the Old PDays Satlors Were Often | Terribly Whipped. I Much is said about the cruelty of | flogging in the present navy, although | in fact, the real flogging with the cat ofâ€"nineâ€"tails is unknown on shipboard and only boys are corporally punished not more than twentyâ€"four cuts with the birch being permitted. Emotional people outside the navy have made this into a grievance, though complaints do not come from the navy itself. Noâ€" thing which degrades the fighting man should be tolerated in a soundly orâ€" ganized military force, but it is abâ€" surd to pretend that the present punâ€" ishments do degrade. On the other hand, where violence is used to a sUuâ€" perior officer sharp punishment is 'l required. The offence of striking an ‘\c:':fficer is becoming too common, and l.1t: may be questioned if the present Il penalties are sufficient, In the old E\ navy the flogging of grown men with | the cat was more common than is the caning of boys, with six or a dozen‘ strokes, toâ€"day. The discipline was essentially brutal and savage, as it was an age of savage punishments, yet some offences, such as theft and forâ€" gery, were more lightly visited afloat than ashore. Allowance must be made for the peculiar difficulties of war, and for the dangerous and mutinous condition of too many of the crews. In time of war, when every hand was wanted, men cannot very well be imâ€" 'prisoned in the ship much less could they, in the prevailing scarcity of food or powder, be sent ashore for long terms of penal servitude. Hence corâ€" poral punishment was more justifiâ€" lable than might at first sight appear. Flogging was an oldâ€"established cusâ€" tom, and it is noteworthy that at the great mutinies at Spithead, Plymouth and the Cape, the men did not protest against it, and even INFLICTED IT THEMSELVES upou illâ€"behaved members of the muâ€" tinous crews; at the Nore, where the mutineers went further, there were suggestions that this form of punishâ€" ment should be less used. There were two kinds of floggingâ€"by the captain‘s order and by sentence of courtâ€"martial, By the Rules of Discipline and Good Government to be observed .on board His Majesty‘s ships of war, dated 1730, mno captain could inflict more than twelve lashes. But this had been modified by the time of the American War, and captains were then in the. bhabit of awarding up to fortyâ€"eight lashes. The offences thus punished were drunkenness, theft, insubordinaâ€" tion, malingering and slackness in performing duty,. The sentences and the number of punishments varied greatly with warious captains, and there was an old saying, "so many captains, so many navies." Thus seaâ€" men bad a real grievance, for what was tolerated in one ship, might be severely punished in another. This irregularity and capriciousness were bad in every way. The captain was ommnipotent; complaints, as the courtâ€" martial show, were rarely successful, and only too often drew down upon those who made them yet severer penâ€" alties. Deatbhs from flogging by the captain were not unknown. A man in the Theseus was severely and repeatâ€" edly punished till at last ha could not walk. He was, however, brought on deck in this weuk condition, laid, upon a gun, as he could not stand, and again flogged. He died aimost immeâ€" diately afterwards, and being buried on shore, an inquest was held and a verdict of wilful murder returned. The deck in this weak condition, laid, upon a gun, as he could not stand, and again flogged. He died aimost immeâ€" diately afterwards, and being buried on shore, an inquest was held and a verdict of wilful murder returned. The captain does not seem to bhave sufferâ€" ed, and the shp‘s surgeon swore that the case appeared so lenient that his attendance was not required, "To see men lose their lives for petty matters, this is a thing God will reckon for," said Cromwell, but our country had forgotten his saying. How frequent were these floggings can be proved by an examination of ships logs. soME CAPTAINS HATED THEM. Collingwood said of an officer, who was famous for his flogging tendencies; "The conduct which is imputed to him has always met my decided reprobation as being big with the most dangerous consequences and subversive of all disâ€" cipline."‘ His dislike of corporal punâ€" ishment, we read in his correspondence, grew daily stronger, and in the latter part of his life more than a year would often pass without his resorting to it, Saumarez tried kindness with success, and, though, Afirm as a disciplinarian, rarely punished, "We may confidently assert," says his biographer Ross, "that had all the ships in His Majesty‘s serâ€" vice been commanded by such officers at Saumarez, the aisgraceful spirit of insubordination would never have been so seriously and generally diffused." But he owns there may have been ships "wherein the crews were inade up from the metropolitan and other prisons, that â€" no treatmernt â€" would . have brought _ under proper discipline." When a man was flogged by the capâ€" tain, he was tied up to the gratings, which were in action placed over the batchways, but which were at other: times kept in the gangways, or narâ€" row passages on each side of the ship from the quarterâ€"deck to the foreâ€" castle. He was stripped to the waist; ithe crew were turned up to witness his punishment; and then the lashes twero laid on by the boatswain‘s mate, a big and strong man. There were ‘two kinds of cat, a special one, which inflicted severer torture, being used for thieves. Occasionally brutal capâ€" tains pickled the cat in salt, but such practices were reprobated and censurâ€" ed. Eyewitnesses of floggings of whom there are still many to be found in the navy, tells us that the blows very soon drew blood. , A :\l'lqmun'shide: of economy is buyâ€" ing ings she doesn‘t n they are cheap. ted "Lecause GREAT masters and subsori007" "" _ /; nopsis of the newepaperlaws : 2 _ 1. farl office.
