Every one interested in climbers or
new and good things for the garden
should send 10 cents to James Tick’s
Sons, Rochester, N. Y., for Tick’s
Floral Guide, 1893, which is a perfect
beauty in its gold cover. As the 10
cents may be deducted from the first
order it really costs nothing.
A Profitable Dairy Cow.
A profitable dairy cow is one that
yields not less than 600 gallons of milk
a year, the milk containing not less
than 4 per cent, oftmtter fat A cow
yielding 600 gallons a year ought to
give during the 28 earlier weeks of her
milk-flow about 470 gallons, which* at
the rate of 1 pound of cheese to each
gallon of milk, would amount after
allowing for shrinkage, to 4 cwt
of cheese. And if the milk is
for the butter dairy, the produce of
300 gallons containing 4 per cent of fat
ought to be 240 pounds o v f butter. The
best means of developing md improv
ing the milking capacity of cow* are
selection and breeding. The lives of
good milkers should be preserved as
long as possible. Statistics show that
of all the animals subjected during the
last eight or nine years to public test
at milking trials those which were
over six years old gave from 20 to 25
per cent, more milk and from 20 to 25
per cent richer milk than those under
that age. —Farm and Home.
