DAIRY AND CREAMERY.

HOW TO TELL A DAIRY COW SURE SHOT AND NO MISTAKE.

You Can Spot Her Every Time, Even In ! a Crowd, if Yon Learn Her Points. Select the Cow with Good Peffgree , and Largo Udder and Milk Veins. . Some of the requisites in a dairy cow are large digestive powers, indicated by a capacious stomach, suggestive of a good appetite and good assimilating ability, broad hips, deep loins and sides, and evidences of a strong, robust consti tution, with plenty of room for heart and lung action, says The Indiana Farmer. These are all of importance, and should be found prominently present in the dairy cow selected with a view of mak ing the most profitable returns. Professor Stewart says, touching the selection of the dairy cow, that having determined her capacity of digesting surplus food for making milk, look care fully to the receptacle holding it—the ndder and the veins leading thereto. The cow may assimilate a large amount of food which goes mostly to lay on flesh and fat, but if she has a long, broad and deep udder with large milk veins it is safe to conclude that her capacity for digestion and assimilation is active in filling this receptacle; in fact the udder is the first point to consider in the cursory examination of a cow. If it reaches to the back line of the thighs and beyond, well up behind, well for ward, is broad and moderately deep, ■with teats well apart and of good size, skin soft and elastic, it may be inferred with confidence that nature has pro- Tided means for filling it. If the udder be a small round cylinder hanging down in front of the thighs like a six quart pail the cow cannot be a profitable milker, whatever digestive apparatus she may have. A yellow skin and the inside of her ears to match is almost universally re garded as present in the cow that gives rich milk yellow in color. But after the indications mentioned are found all other considerations are of minor im portance, more to be admired as a mat ter of fancy than for any real value they possess in themselves. Among them are an escutcheon that is first class, a long slim tail, an attractive dished face, drop ping and small waxy horns and a pre ferred color of hair. Look for these, and get as many of them combined in the animal as possible, but let it be after the essentials are found. Let good appearances be coupled with performance, and if the cow be 5 years old or younger • and will yield 6,000 pounds of good milk or more per annum she may be safely trusted, without re gard to fancy points. She must consume I and digest the food to make it, and her j machinery and the power to work the j machinery successfully are the main considerations after all. Still another im portant matter in selecting a cow, even of common blood, is her pedigree or line of descent. Choose one from a large milking dam, grandam and great-gran dam. This will increase the probabil ities of success in her progeny in breed ing her to a thoroughbred bull from deep milking ancestors. A few cows selected with all the busi ness requirements alluded to will lay the foundation for breeding a herd of dairy cows that will prove a source of perpetual delight and profit to the owner; on the other hand, it is a loss of time and money to rear a calf for the dairy from a poor milker. It is bad enough to keep an unprofitable cow for a season, but it is deliberately throwing away good food to breed such a cow with the proof that the heifer will never pay for her keep. Of course no males should be kept of such crosses for breeding pur poses.—American Dairyman.

Creamery Tips.

• A well known and reliable firm of dealers in dairy products in Boston con tribute to The Creamery Journal the fol lowing suggestions about packing and shipping: While we indorse the recommenda tion to have at least a portion of the cows come in during the fall for winter dairy, at the same time we realize that the important point at present is, how can the farmer make the most money out of his herd as they are at present, and situated as he is. Of course the more money the cream ery gets out of its product the more the fanner gets for his milk or cream, as the case may be; so we venture to make a few suggestions. In the first place, the butter must be good in order to command the top mar ket price, not forgetting that in very warm weather extra precautions must be taken in the matter of using ice when gathering cream, watching it closely during ripening process, and perhaps churning a little of tener. By doing so ■we believe there would be much less gour butter made. In the second place, use packages to euit the market. Butter packed in soft wood tubs, assorted sizes, commands the best price have. Be sure and soak the tubs for twenty-four hours before using, as quite a number of tubs of butter spoil on sides, owing to neglect in preparing packages; of course that means low prices. When you get ready to ship select your commission merchant. Ship your goods fresh—"they are never better"— and ship every week, thus giving him a chance to get up a line of customers that can depend on getting your butter every week. In that way the trade gets to know your brand, it suits the consumers, and they will pay good prices rather than take the chance of some other creamery euiting. The maker who sells one week and ships the ne.vl, and keeps changing com mission men. can never expect to get top prices, as one house does not handle the butter long enough or regularly enough to get up a reputation. ; We offer these few suggestions, hoping ■it may benefit some shipper, as we real ize their interests are identical with those of the commission merchant.

AMERICAN STALLION SHOW.

Important Action at a Meeting of Horse Breeders.

At a meeting of horse breeders in Chi cago it was resolved to form an associa tion to be known as the American Stal lion show. Their objects are to improve the horses of tho country, and to give annually an exhibition to be known as the American Stallion show. The first of these shows is to be given in the spring of 1891. The association will also be directly in terested in aiding to prepare a creditable live stock display at the World's fair in 1892. All horse breeders in good stand ing throughout the country are invited to become members of the association and aid it in all ways. Committees have been appointed to draft a constitution and bylaws for the new society, and the fee for certificate of membership was fixed at $10 each. Applications for membership can be filed with either of the following gentle men: S. D. Thompson, Chicago; Charles Burgess, Winona, Ills.; R. P. Stericker, Springfield, Ills.; J. Murray Hoag, Ma quoketa, la.; A. Oltman, Watseka, Ills.; Charles P. Mills, Springfield, Ills.; Archie Galbraith, Janesville, Wis.; Charles E. Stubbs, Fairfield, la.; J. D. Conner, Wa bash, Ind., and W. H. Goodpasture, Nashville, Term. Following are tho reasons set forth for the formation of the organization, to gether with some of the resolutions adopted: Whereas, The profit in breeding horses largely depends upon the advantages en joyed for selling stock at an advance over the cost of production, and Whereas, The demand for stallions of approved breeding and individual excel lence of the various breeds of horses largely exceeds the present supply, and Whereas, The great majority of breed ers of stallions lack the necessary facil ities for meeting purchasers and making advantageous sales at the season when stallions are generally selected, and Whereas, The development of the commercial industries and the rapid ex tension of the vast farming interest of this country will make a corresponding increase in the future demand for good horses; and Whereas, The interests of breeders of stallions and parties desiring to pur chase the same can be greatly promoted by the establishment of a spring stall ion show that will bring such parties and the stock together at some access ible point, therefore be it Resolved, That the breeders and im porters of horses here assembled favor the establishment of an organization to be known as the American Stallion Show, and invite breeders of the recog nized breeds of stock to become mem bers of the association. Resolved, That each of the associa tions engaged in the publication of stud books for the improved and distinct breeds of horses be requested to desig nate a representative breeder, making a specialty of the breeding of such stock, to serve on the advisory committee of the association. Resolved, That the president and sec retary of the Stud Book association re ferred to above should, in the opinion of the meeting, be appointed superintend ent and clerk to take charge of and make full report relating to the exhibits of the breeds rej>resented by their re spective organizations. Resolved, That the judges appointed to pass upon the various improved breeds of horses exhibited at the American Stallion Show should be selected by the official board of the respective Stud Book associations.

Points of Interest.

The question whether mutton sheep will improve in price next season is mixed. There is some prospect, how ever, that breeding sheep of the mutton build will be in active demand, since both in the north and southwest agri culturists are engaging more and more in sheep fanning. In grading up your flocks and herds always use a full blooded sire. The tendency at present is to import fewer draft horses and better ones from Europe. In England, Scotland and France for the past few years it seems as if anything and everything has been considered good enough to send to Amer ica, so great was the demand for draft horses and so ignorant apparently were American breeders of the points of a really first class animal. Now, however, our breeders and importers have had their eyeteeth cut. They have imported this year fewer draft horses than last year, but the ones that came are of higher quality. Here is a note for farmers and impe cunious agriculturists to remember: The universal testimony of butchers and meat dealers is that the best beef in the mar ket, that which commands the highest price, is the home fattened steer cr heifer which the small farmer singles out from his few cattle and sells. The demand for meat is so great that of course the large herds shipped east by the car load are a necessity, but the sweetest and tenderest, that which commands the most money, comes from the little bunches of home grown beef, and don't forget it. W. T. Woodard's second combination horse breeders' sale of the season will take place at Lexington, Ky., Feb. 16 to 35. All breeders of first class horses are allowed to bring their animals to this Bale and dispose of them. Some of the best sheep raisers begin to breed theii" ewes on Christmas day. Of course nobody can tell much about it for certain, but the prospect is that better prices will be realized for cattle the latter part of the winter than was the case during the beginning of the season. There was a great rush of beef cattle to market in the fall from the west and northwest, because both corn and water were scarce. That rush be ing over, good prices for prime stock can hardly fail to be realized. Never keep a crooked tailed cock as a breeder.

FEEDING SMUTTY CORN.

What It Has Done to Valuable Live Stock in Tennessee.

Near New Middleton considerable corn was gathered that had rotted on the Btalk; some of the corn had considerable emut, This com has been fed to horses, cattle and hogs. W. B. Denny recently lost a horse; James Enoch also lost a horse; Lewis Allen had a horse to die, and the Widow Praitt lost one also. Several other horses died quite recently In that neighborhood. Post mortem examinations were made in four cases, the result showing death, to bo caused by rotted and smutty corn. Mr. Gibbs, living about a mile on tho south side of tho river, has a fine colt sick, the result of feeding smutty corn, bo supposed. James Davis has a fine mare that he expects to lose any minute; Bhe has been fed on rotted and smutty corn. These cases were investigated by our i informant, and nearly every animal had been kept up andjEed on corn, the own ers not having in most instances any bkiegrass pasturage, which acts as a purge. The lungs of each animal dis eected were<completely stopped up. J, H. Walker, a veterinary surgeon of Alexandria, sold recently a fine mare for |200, the animal to be delivered the next day. The morning following the mare was given two ears of rotted corn by a colored man who had her in charge. She died.in about two hours afterward with spasmodic colic. Mr. Walker is satisfied the corn killed her. Alexander Thompson, living on Buf falo creek, lost a horse last Saturday morning. Mr. Hailey, our informant of the above, states that considerable smut ty and rotted corn was gathered in his neighborhood, and that his own mules, which had been fed a little of the corn, are afflicted with bad coughs, resembling distemper.—Smith County (Term.) Rec ord.

The English Shire Horse.

Perhaps a majority of the valuable horses imported into this country go to the west and northwest, horses of all kinds, saddle, coach and draft. Also the country is beginning to look to the far west for its best trotting and turf animals. We present this week an illustration of the Shire horse, belonging to a breed not yet thoroughly known in the United States, but wherever known very popu- > lar as being able to draw immense loads.

IMPORTED ENGLISH SHIRE MARE. This beautiful, docile and intelligent Shire mare is owned in Colorado. The breed represents probably the strongest animals known in the annals of horse flesh. A Shire will pull alone up an in cline a load that will stagger a pair of our ordinary American horses. Shire horses are of immense size and weight; slow, as must be the case where such ponderous bodies are to be moved, but steady and sure. They are to be seen in perfection on the Liverpool docks and hauling the tremendous trucks that transfer freight in London. The many millioned Duke of West minster, in England, has been for years the enthusiastic patron of the great Shire horse, breeding it for size and strength.

Cure for Done Spavin.

It. G-. A. writes to The Rural New Yorker: Take soft soap and stir it full of fine Bait and put it in the spavin twice a day, rubbing it well until it becomes sore; then wash it with castile soap and water until it is thoroughly healed; then use the soap and salt until sore again; then wash and keep on doing so until it is healed without a bunch. It will take time—from four to six months. Driving will not hurt the horse at the time of using the application. I have been using this on my horse now three months, and the bunch is growing smaller all the time and the horse is not so lame as it was. There have been horses cured en tirely, or I should not have recommend ed it.

Points of Interest.

Salt all your live stock at least once a week. Milk cows ought to have large pieces of rock salt near their watering troughs, where they can lick it when they feel like it. In Europe it is the general impression that sheep cannot be raised unless root crops, such aa turnips, carrots, etc., are cultivated for them. But in this coun try of high priced work and labor sav ing devices, it has been found that sheep thrive quite as well on ensilage, thus avoiding the back breaking and expen sive task of cultivating and digging turnips. The Arkansas valley is becoming a great hog country. It possesses unri valled advantages of climate, and is ad mirably adapted in other respects to the ewine industry. More and" more breeders are falling into the habit of dehorning cattle. One who once adopts the practice rarely allows horns to grow again. Dehorning is not greatly painful to the animal if done in the right way when the calf is young, when the horns are no more than mere protuberances. Searing the bud ding horn knobs with a hot iron is one of the methods adopted. A small flock of hens (ten to twenty five) can be kept laying steadily through the winter by giving theni warm quar ters, scraps of fresh meat, grain and a variety of food, being careful that they do not get too fat. And in these small flocks lies much profit to tha farmor's wife and daughters.

People who rub their arms or legs for rheumatism should remember that the secret of the benefit derived from mas sage is that the operator always rubs up —that is, in the direction of tho heart.
