HANDY SLIDING BARN GATE.
Should Be in Use to Restrain the Cat
tie and Keep Them Within Bounds.
Where cattle are stabled for the
convenience of milking and feeding
it is useful in hauling to have small
gates hung in alley ways to prevent
the stock from becoming unruly. Not
infrequently considerable disturbance
is brought about in handling a dairy
herd while stabling, simply on account
of a lack of doors across exposed pas
sageways. In our barn we have small
gates located wherever it is necessary
Sliding Gate for Barn Alley.
to prevent the cows going into an al
ley or feed room while stabling.
The diagram inclosed herewith, says
a writer in Prairie Farmer, shows one
erf the handy gates we have in use.
They are great conveniences. The ;
gate proper is made of pine material
five inches in width. The gate, of
course, is made to fit the place where
needed. The two outer pieces are :
longer and serve as a part of the !
hanger. The gate is hung upon a |
two-inch gas pipe, which is in length ;
twice the width of the gate. IrQn 1
straps serve the purpose of hangers
and slide upon the gas piping as a ;
track.
In our barn we have in use eight of j
these handy gates and would not i
think of getting along without them. ;
In one or two instances when stock j
got loose they doubtless saved the •
lives of the animals as our feed room
is in easy reach of the stable.
ROAD TARRING.
It Is Carried on on a Large Scale in
France.
Road-tarring on a. large scale has
been seen in France during the prep- ■
aratlon for the Grand Prix race. The j
tarring is carried out on the Lassail- \
ly system by the use of the most im- i
proved apparatus for heating the tar
and applying it to the surface of the
road. Commenced on the 25th of May,
the operation lasted scarcely ten days
for the 500,000 square yards which
were covered, employing two gangs,
each made up of six drivers and eight
horses, together with eight men for
spreading the tar, counting the men
needed for sanding the road after the
tarring. A fine road is the result of
this operation, says the Scientific
American, and it shows that by the
use of the proper apparatus a large
extent of road can be treated within
a short time and with a small amount
of labor. At the last moment the ex
cess of sand which covers the layer of
ta.r will he swept off by the four
sweeper wagons employed by M. Las
sailly, when the cars will be able to
run under ideal conditions. Such a
process, far from being an extra ex
pense, is now recognized as an actual
economy, seeing that the cost of keep
ing up the road becomes much less,
and this pays for the tarring ex
penses. and may even exceed the lat
ter, as lias been found during a long
series of observations made in France. \
FARM NOTES.
Tf farm conditions are not ideal, it I
is in the power of the agriculturists !
to make them so.
For cutting bands, in threshing
time, an old section off a mower, rivet- !
ed to a piece of wood about eight !
inches long, works first-rate.
The farmer who now selects and
saves seed corn, and takes good care ■
of it, has laid the foundation of a good
crop next year.—Farm Journal.
Taking the country as a whole, and
averaging the various crops, one
thing is sure—the harvest is a very
i encouraging one, with no signs of
| famine ahead.
If you pour the potatoes pell-mell
into the bin, don't be surprised if they
| rot. Bruised potatoes are very ant !
to spoil. That means loss, and loss
means hard tiroes by-and-by.
Drive a stake down good and solid
put some flat stones around it and
stack the beans about it. Put the
roots nearest to the poles. Press the
stalks down well and cover over with
a bit of oil cloth if the weather is bad.
The culture of the earth is the most
primitive, natural and extensive em
1 loyment of civilized life. It brings
with it cheerfulness and affluence,
and fosters them under its broad
wing; never deserting nor weaning
them from its parent protection.
STILL ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
American Farmer Learning to Do
Profitable Dairying.
In a recent conversation with the
writer, Prof. Fraser said that the
American farmer has not learned how
to make the most out of his land and
has not yet acquired the ability to
make as much out of his cows as some
of the European dairymen do. He
declares that it is easily possible for
the American cow owner to make
twice as much milk and cream out of
it as the average cow makes. This
is a fourfold increase of the returns
from an acre of land.
There is no doubt that the pro
fessor is right and that we can accom
plish four times as much as we are
doing now and with the same gen
eral expenditure. This is a remark
able statement, but it is one easy to
prove. The average cow is a poor
specimen of the bovine race, making
less than lot) pounds of butter in a
year. It is not a great stretch of the
imagination to see every cow giving
milk enough to produce at least 300
pounds of butter per year, or all cows
giving enough to bring the average
up to that point.
On the other hand, it is not an ex
travagant thing to believe that the
time is coming when the average acre
of land will produce twice as much
forage as at the present time, in
this country we have had such a
superabundance of land that we have
fallen into the habit of using it waste
tullv. Some of the pastures are in
the condition in which they were
when the timber was cut off. The
soil has never been turned, and the
wild grasses are the only ones to be
found. It takes a good many acres of
such laud to support a cow, especially
in a dry summer, such as this has
been in some sections devoted to
dairying.
It will require many years yet to
awake our cow owners to the real
conditions as they exist and to com
pare them with the conditions that
may exist. Could we drop some of
these cow owners down into the fields
of Holland or Denmark, the impres
sion might be sooner made. To do
profitable dairying requires a weeding
out process in our methods. The
method that has been followed for
two centuries of pasturing cows on j
any kind of pasture nature may give .
us should be abandoned. The old
natural pasture does not produce
enough feed even when it it is not
overstocked, and it is frequently so
badly overstocked that It will not
produce as much as it might.
A HALF STALL FOR COWS.
Arrangement Which Some Dairymen
Prefer to Old-Style Stalls.
Where a dairyman desires to use a
cow’s stall with stanchion and a half
partition, the accompanying illustra
tion will furnish a suggestion that
may be valuable. Some have com
plained of the danger of cows step

the size of the animal, says Prairie
Farmer, but there should be sufficient
space so that the cow will not he ;

SKIMMINGS.
American farmers should feed more
bran.
The hand separator is now very pop- 1
ular and profitable.
Alfalfa will greatly change the cost 1
of milk production.
If a man would have a first-class ;
herd of cows he should raise them ,
himself.
The pioneer always finds the cow
a great help in obtaining food in an
unsettled country.
A cow should not always be judged
by what she is doing, but by what
she might do if given a proper ehance.
The average of our cows is too low
in quality. We can improve it by
continually disposing of the poorest.
Many a calf that would make a
valuable cow is sent to the butcher
because the owner could sell his milk
at a good price.
Growth of Dairying.
The growth of dairying in all the j
civilized nations of the world during ,
the past 25 years has been very great, j
The increase of population in the na- i
tions has made it desirable to produce
concentrated foods that will keep for
a long time. Dairy products in some
of their forms can be kept for a long
time, and up to a certain limit the
keeping improves their digestibility.
The development of dairying has been
largely in the countries having a tem
perate climate, but the industry is
gradually working toward the torrid
regions. In the latter localities the
problems connected with the keeping
of milk are greater than in the colder
localities, but the problems of feeding
are fewer. The south will yet engage
largely in dairying.
