By N. P.
NATHANIEI, PAEKEU. WILLIS, poet and Journalist,
was born In Portland. Me., Jan. 20, 180. and died near
Cornwall, N. V.. on hla sixty-nrst birthday. He WAS
prominent, for many years In New Vork literary cir
cles, being In 1840 "beyond a doubt the most popular, the
best paid and In every way the most successful maga
slnlst that America had yet seen." The story of Major
John Andre, the younsr and accomplished Briton who
assisted in Benedict Arnold's plot, Is well known to read

RAISING BEEF CATTLE
In March, 1904, I bought a grade
Hereford steer calf six months old,
and this calf was stred by a pure Tired
Hnrhfnrrl hull and nut of n crndo cow.
and the party that I bought blm from
informed mo that he had been oilowen
part of his mother's milk from bis
mother's teat, aud when four weeks
old be began giving the calf corn
meal, ground oats mid bran, equal
parts. This calf never had milk after
I got blm and was put on a full feed
of one-hnlf com, one-fourth ground
oats and one-fourth bran as soon as I
could work him up to a full feed with
out throwing him oft feed. In Septem
ber I began adding oil cake and beets
to his feed. Clover hay was used at
all times as a rough feed or filler, and
Dec. 5, 1904, I sold the above steer at
Chicago, weighing 1.180 pounds at 8
cents per pound, or $97.35. The weight
of this steer could have been made
greater if given more milk while
young and a larger grain ration. In

waste pipe If desired may be cemented
In tbe bottom or through the side of the

In making concrete posts tbe con

three parts stones (small size).. Mix
quite wet and put Into forms of tbe

SOFT CHEESES.
Dairy Expert. ""Tell "of a "fiirawiai
Market Kor Them.
An Indication of the growing popu
larity of soft cheeses Is the large de
mand for the varieties sold under vari
ous brands as Neufcbatel and cream
cheese. The basis for most of these
is the common "cottage" or "Dutch'
rhppse. and manv of them are merely
sweet or sour curd put In an attractive
and appetizing form. The manufacture
of these varieties is comparatively sim
ple, with practically no danger of loss.
They are sold and eaten when fresh.
Further, they will yield a larger
.mount of salable cheese from tbe
same quantity of milk than other vari
eties, and fbey bring prices almost as
high as the best Imported cheese.
Very naturally these cheeses form
rhA hnsl. of a orofltable Industry. But
here, too, we find that the common
American product Is different from the
cheese In Europe going under the same
miu The Nenfcfaatel cheese of Eu
rope is i ripened cheese, but tbe cheese
going by this name in the united
Stntea la usually unripened curd with
an attractive wrapping. Some of these
American products, however, are mgn
ry flavored and compete favorably with
certain ripened types that are Import
ed. Ail of them command a far higher
price than tbe ordinary bard cheese.
Hick PreSt la Soft Ckoaaa.
It la certain, therefore, that there Is
an established and rapidly growing
market for the best types of soft
cheese. Tbe profit In tbe manufacture
of the bard type of cheese Is exceed
ingly small both to the factory and to
the producer of milk, but the prices of
the highest class of soft cbeeae (40
cents or more per pound) are so much
higher than tbe prices of tbe bard
phaeaea that the Introduction of their
manufacture should be a great benefit
to tbe dairymen.
Tbe fact that soft cheese will not
keep very long gives sn especial ad
v.nt.M ta the domestic over tbe for
eign producers If tbe products can be
made of eaual merit For such perish
able products there Is a great advan

COWS AND THEIR MILK.
Some Intereatlac Faeta For DaJrr
" asea ta Fandar
The matter of' quality of tbe milk of
cows has been pretty well settled by
tests In this country, and English au
thority Is in agreement with us, as
shown by deductions from their own
experiments, as follows: '
That when a cow Is In full milk and
full flesh she will give her normal
quality of milk, for at least a limited
time, even though tbe quality and
quantity of food be very deficient
Eat when In good condition a cow
take off her body whatever Is de
nt In food, In order to give her nor
mal quality of milk.
That an extra supply of nutritious
food at all times Increases tbe quan
tity of milk, but the percentage of fat
Is not In any way Improved by It; If
anything, tbe tendency Is the other
way.
That an extra supply of nutritious
food almost Invariably very slightly
Increases the solids not fat of the
milk. That a ration poor m food In
gredients has a very slight tendency
to reduce tbe solids not fat In milk,
but has little appreciable effect on the
fat -
That with a poor ration a cow In full
weight will lose carcass weight, while
on a rich diet she will gain weight
That although tbe percentage of fat
In a cow's milk may vary dally, we
at present seem unable to control these
variations or to account for them.
That for limited periods, up to one
month or thereabout, all ordinary
quantities and qualities of food seem
to have no material effect on the
quality of toe milk.
That some foods exercise a material
effect in raising the melting point of
butter.
That the aim of all producers of
milk, butter or cheese should be to
feed what will give quantity, In
moderate amount and of mixed nature,
and tbe produce will be the best that
the cow can give.
That extra quality must be looked
for by improving the breeds and Ju
dicious selection rather than by any
special foods or methods of feeding.
That the variations In tbe percent
age of fat In a cow's milk are caused
by something, but what that some
thing Is we at present do not know,
though If we did we might be able to
Influence tho quality. Farmers Advo
cate. Fedlnr Calvaa.
Don't feed the calve, from tbe trough
at the same time. Calvae, like men,
do not all drink at the same speed.
One will gulp down three time, as fast
aa another when all are fed together.
One gets three times as much as be
should, while another gets only half aa
much as be needs. This Isn't afl. The
calf that gets the small allowance
goes hungry, yet la more fortunate
than the one that gets too much, for be
Is blessed with good digestion, while
the other suffers with the stomach

When a separator can not be af

SILOS AND SILAGE
There are several potato that must
be closely observed la making si lag. If
It la to be well preserved, and the
neglect of any one of these win make.
in the final result, the difference be
tween success and failure. These es
sential are close lacking when the
crop Is at the proper stage of ma
turity In aa air tight structure baring
perfectly rigid walls. If the sides of
the silo are not air tight the sir which
passes thnmgb will cause tbe silage
to spoil, and If tbe walla are not per
fectly rigid the pressure of toe euaga
will cans mem to spring out, allow
ing the air to enter between the silage
and tbe wall la either ease the re
sult will be the earns decayed silage.

. Creamery managers and buttermak-
ers will be serving their own Interests
If they Induce their patrona to find out
what each cow la doing and to weed the
poor and useless ones. The patron will
make more profit out of milk produc
tion if he does so and will thus be
encouraged to produce more milk.
Now Is the time to begin work of this
kind for 1006. Co-operation In testing
Is the best way to carry on the work,
On this latter point the New Tork Re
view and American Creamery says:
"Not until some concerted action baa
been taken hi the matter can we nope
for satisfactory results, and hence we
have again and again drawn attention
to the co-operative efforts In this direc
tion lu, Denmark, and we propose to
keep on hammering until the door haa
been open wide to the system of co
operative testing of cows, , with the
keeping of "co-operative" pure bred
sires for the service of such cows as an
expect committee may deem worthy.
"Feeding aud care are, of .course, all
Important, and so are regular and com
petent milkers, but we doubt If there Is
any one point of more importance to
profitable dairying than this: To milk
the right cows, and not to waste room,
food and care on tbe wrong ones."

DISEASES OF SWINE.
Prevention Rather Than Core Shonld
Be the Aim ol tha Grower.
. It is of tbe greatest importance In
tbe care of swliia that tho owner
should always have in view tbe pre
vention of disease rather then the1
cure. Hogs are subject to but few
diseases, aud these are malignant, epi
demic or contagious of most serious
type. It is tUUleult to give medicine
to a sick hog, and this, combined with'
the rapid course of the disease-which
affects them, nuOces the treatment of.
the disease unsatisfactory in severe
cases of bog cholera, pneumonia, eta
Tbe average stockman calls every
disease hog cholera which affects his
bogs, but I do not believe thut bogs
die with cholera every time. Many of
tbe milder forms of these, diseases are
curable when given tbe proper raeclal
treatment and care, but it is of the
greatest -importance to remember that
fully one-half depends on tbe previous
general care. -
It Is almost Impossible to make a
majority of farmers understand that
when their hogs are sick they mnst
have as close, prompt attention as he
would give his family If they were
sick. Tbe diseases .which affect boga
are so serious and run their course so
rapidly that sometimes a few days'
neglect will cause tbe loss of nearly
an entire herd of hogs. This explains
why one farmer will take a good rem
edy and cure bis bogs, when perhaps
bis nearest neighbor will take It and
not obtain such good results. In nine
cases out of ten it will depend on
whether the farmer Is careful and sys
tematic In following directions not
alone In giving a good remedy, but
also in using disinfectants and general
care.
Many farmers realize that when
bogs are taken sick the case demands
Immediate attention If they expect to
save any of their hogs. Some farmers
are careless and wait until tbe disease
Is well started, and even then they do
not follow directions. It Is surpris
ing tbst these careless farmers save
any of their bogs after disease start.
All those facts simply go to prove that
the sensible way Is to handle your
bogs In a manner to prevent disease.
Build up and Improve tbe constitu
tional strength. This is what will
save you greet loss from hog cholera.
When your bogs .are sick with the
worst form of hog cholera we do not
believe anything will help them, and
the safer way In such cases is to take
an ax and kill them at once and then

Qaalltr la the Potato.
The quality of potatoes la tbe subject
of Interesting tests by tbe New York
experiment station. There Is reason to
believe that good quality is developed
In a soil temperature of OS degree to
75 degrees, and the tubers growing
from one and two ta live Incites below
tb surface are subject to these con
ditions. Great 'fluctuation In tbe soil
temperature la detrimental to tb best
development of potatoes, and tubers
growing too near the surface are sub
ject to this fluctuation. A too low tem
perature also injures the development
of ripening, and tbe soli texture prob
ably has something to do with ripen
In; and flavor; hence If potatoes are
planted shallower than three Inches or
deeper then six Inches tbe conditions
are unfavorable.
Dafaota la Milk.
The common defects In both butter
and cbeeae are largely due to -tb dirt
which get Into the milk at milking
Urn either from dust In tb air or by
caulsuss! of tbe milker In tbe stable.
Sour strainer cloths and sour tinware

Cheese. Every cheeaemsker knowi bow
absolutely aocaasary It Is to have clean
and perfectly sweet milk for making
cheese which be ran guarantee will

thing Is also true with tb buttermaki
