We say in the fall, as regards the majority of the herd, preferably the months of September and October. Of course it is recognized on all hands that to make the finest butter it is advisable to have a fresh cow in occasionally throughOut the year. However, this does not affect the general statement materially. This article is called forth mainly on account of the growing idea that to suit the cheese factory season it is necessary to have cows come in milk in the spring or late winter, and others follow this old system because every- I‘ody does so, or because of the mistaken idea that cows will give more milk if fresh in milk when they come to grass. I prepose to give ten sound reasons in support of my opening statement : I. The herd, if properly handled, will give more milk and make more butter during the year. Experience proves this. If cows come in in the fall the milk flow can easily be kept up during the first few months, and when the season advances and spring ap- proaches. the early pasture, fall rye, etc., is in view, and will give an added impetus to the milk flow. On the other hand, the spring cow will receive an impetus of an opposite character as winter approaches. 2. The cow will milk a longer season. Right. and nine months' cows no longer till the needs of the dairy. Much of the profit of any herd depends upon the length of the milking season, and if, when the cow has been in milk about six or seven months, she be put upon grass or other succulent spring fodder, the tendency is to prolong the milking Icriod, which should not be less than ten and a half or eleven months; in fact, I am not sure that it is a necessity to have cowa dry at all. One thing is certain, the short period of milking now in practice in many herds is a large leak. not being for the present only, but ior the future, as our next point will 111 M. 3. The cow trained to long and deep milking will perpetuate these qualities in her offspring. and they will be best and most lastingly cultivated in the fall cow. Many seem to think that to look to the calves is a slow way of making money by duirying, but the intelligent man knows that this is the most in- tensely practical point in the whole range of the management of a dairy lrerd. Teach the cow to milk long; look well to the calf when it is the lleifer. in milk, and the first principles of success are establishedâ€"the calf is the mother of the cow. 4. The fall calf is the stay of the «'airy. I take it as a principle not to be gainsaid, that the man who would own a high class dairy herd, must raise his own stock. More time to attend to the calf; more suitable weather; no flies; no sour milk; good grass when most it needs it, via, when the milk ceasesâ€"all these ensure a better calf than the spring one. 5. The product is worth more from the fall cow. It will be remembered that butter was worth 8 to 17 cents in the best markets of this Province last summer, due to two causesâ€"greatquan- tity and poor quality. Our fall cow will give us most butter when we have most time to see after it and when it is worth most, while her summer product may be sent to the cheese factory if desired. If you do not wish to make up the butter, send it to the winter creamcryâ€"onc of the most valuable institutions of this country. 6. Loss labor in busy season. Hot weather, busy times, aching backs, switching tails, empty pails and parched pastures go much together. Cows dry in July and August will immensely minimize these troubles. T. Cows dry during July and August. Grass has failed at this season, and is little better than straw. If the cow is dry at all, this is, we believe. the best time. We had, generally speaking, that cows are better looked after in winter than at this period. On scores of farms which we. have visited this summer, no preparation whatever was made for the feeding; of the cows at this season. and the result has been dried.up cows. closed factories, discharged hands, discontent- ed farmers and profits oil. '8. To those who raise cream by deep c a setting, this will mean a great saving of ice. 0. Cheap and effective winter feed. in the form of ensilage, enables us to feed inilch cows cheaply at that season with- .iut attendant summer difficulties. Lack rfchcap winter feed was considered al drawback in past times; l 10.

In short, this system is at the basis of the establishment of our butter on first- Of course, the practice recommended means good stables and suitable milk-houses, but these are not unavailable. If the system commend itself, it will be necessary to mate the cows accordingly.â€"Fanner's Advocate. Sergeant McElroy’s Whereabonts. “ The Ninth Cavalry was the first regiment to use the Hotchkiss mountain gun,” said Capt. Day, and the way that gun was hauled about by our troop was a caution. Lieut. Humphrey command- ed the gun outfit in our troop, and he could hit an ordinary target with it as He was a very profane man, and whenever any of the boys got weary on a march they would say: “ Let’s go back and hear Humph- In marching over moun- tains it is very often necessary to climb down inclines which are. almost a sheer drop, and at such places the soldier will sit down between the forelegs of his “ The gun outfit, always being in the rear, would generally find such places worn about as smooth as glass when they came up, and Humphrey’s profan- ity then was something terrible. I re- member one very amusing incident con- nected with an affair of that sort. The incline was almost a sheer precipice, leading thirty feet below into a canon. When Humphrey came up, of course, all the dirt was worn off, leaving only the slippery side of the rock. He sat nally got up and ordered the outfit over. The sergeant, a colored man named Mc- Elroy, was about to let the gun and the two mules go over by themselves, when Humphrey yelled out: ‘Hold on there, blank, blank, etc., go over with ’em and report.’ So over they all want, and af- ter hearing a big splash in the canon below, followed by silence, Humphrey “ A big spluttering was heard below, and pretty soon McElroy’s voice came- “ ‘He’s kickin’ on do top ob de heap, “‘Yes, sah; dat’s under de wheel '_l_l'o Debtors.
