to  know  whether  twin  calves,  when  heif¬ 
ers  are  considered  bad  prospects  as 
breeders.  There  is,  I  know,  a  tradition 
that  twins  of  opposite  sexes  are  one  or 
both  barren,  whether  well  founded  I  do 
not  know.  What  is  the  consensus  of 
opinion  regarding  this?  D.  w.  I. 
Cbestertown.  Md. 
A  Holstein  cow  could  not  get  into  the 
advanced  registry  for  high  performance 
unless  it  could  be  shown  that  both  her 
parents  were  eligible  to  registry  in  the 
herd  book.  Unless  this  pure  pedigree 
can  be  proved  the  cow  would  rank  as  a 
grade — not  purely  bred.  She  might  be 
a  wonderful  cow  and  could  be  tested,  of 
course,  but  her  record  would  not  go  on 
the  advanced  registry  and  her  calves 
could  not  be  sold  as  purebred.  It  is  gen¬ 
erally  understood  that  in  twins  of  two 
sexes  the  female  will  prove  barren.  She 
is  known  as  a  freemartin. 
Forage  for  Brood  Sows 
I  have  two  sows  that  T  exited  will 
farrow  about  May  1st.  I  expect  about 
lfi  little  fellows.  I  wish  to  feed  them 
from  what  I  can  raise  and  what  skim- 
milk  I  shall  have  from  six  cows.  Will 
yon  advise  me  what  rotation  of crops  I 
shall  plant  to  grow  them  to  17-1  to  200 
pounds?  To  start  them  I  have  about  a 
quarter  of  an  acre  of  Alfalfa  (an  experi¬ 
ment  which  has  proven  successful! .  I 
shall  have  sweet  corn  (probably)  by  the 
middle  of  August;  this  they  can  have  for 
five  or  six  weeks.  I  shall  have  barley 
and  yellow  flint  corn,  I  do  not  wish  to 
buy  much  if  any  grain  for  them.  G.  n.  B. 
Maine. 
I  would  suggest  the  following  forage 
crop  mixture  to  be  seeded  as  a  source  of 
succulent  feed  for  brood  sows  nursing 
pigs : 
Oats  f?0  lbs.,  Canada  field  peas  30  lbs., 
Dwarf  Essex  rape  0  lbs.,  Red  clover  5 
lbs.,  and  Alsike  clover  5  lbs. :  seeded  as 
early  in  the  Spring  as  conditions  will  per¬ 
mit.  and  permitting  the  pigs  to  forage  on 
this  area  as  soon  as  any  of  the  plants  are 
eight  or  10  inches  high.  If  it  is  not  pas¬ 
tured  too  vigorously  at  the  outset,  it  will 
grow  rapidly  and  furnish  forage  through¬ 
out  the  season.  The  oats  and  peas  will 
furnish  the  first  forage,  this  will  be  fol¬ 
lowed  by  the  rape,  and  if  the  oats  are  per¬ 
mitted  to  go  to  seed  they  will  make  ex¬ 
cellent  grain  forage  for  late  Fall  feeding. 
It  is  also  advisable  to  supplement  a 
green  forage  crop  of  this  sort  with  some 
recommend  that  about  the  middle  of  May 
lie  seed  down  a  small  area  utilizing  the 
following  :  One  bushel  of  Soy  beaus,  15 
pounds  of  Sweet  clover  and  five  pounds 
of  Dwarf  Essex  rape.  This  will  furnish 
late  forage  for  the  brood  sows,  and  the 
pigs  will  enjoy  picking  off  the  .Soy  beans 
after  they  have  podded.  F.  C.  M- 
Stnoking  Hams  ;  Kicking  Cows 
Apropos  of  smoking  hams,  will  say  when 
I  was  a  boy  my  folks  smoked  with  suc¬ 
cess  at  the  top  of  the  chimney  from  a 
wood  fire  in  the  kitchen  stove.  A  neigh¬ 
bor  of  mine  smokes  his  in  an  inverted  bar¬ 
rel,  with  holes  in  the  bottom  to  put  the 
strings  through  to  hang  the  hams  on. 
A  simple  and  an  effective  way  to  keep  a 
cow  from  kicking  is  to  buckle  a  common 
holdback  strap  tight  above  the  hocks, 
crossing  it  between  the  legs  in  a  figure 
eight.  A  cord  tight  around  the  body  at 
(he  hips  will  keep  most  cows  from  kick¬ 
ing.  yet  I  have  seen  a  heifer  kick  a  pail 
tlf  whole  length  of  the  stable  when  so 
Corded.  W.  A.  BIRDEN.

Remedy  for  Churning  Troubles 
I  have  noticed  lately  in  The  R.  N.-Y. 
several  asking  what  to  do  with  cream  that 
would  not  bring  butter.  We  have  had 
some  trouble  that  way.  but  have  found  a 
way  to  overcome  it.  We  are  “baek-to- 
tbo-landers”  and  found  we  bad  many 
things  to  learn.  One  of  our  troubles  was 
with  the  cream  late  in  the  Fall.  We 
would  churn  for  hours  before  getting  but¬ 
ter,  aud  one  churning  we  bad  to  give  up 
entirely.  An  old  lady  who  has  made  but¬ 
ter  her  lifetime,  told  us  to  scald  the  milk 
as  soon  as  it  was  brought  in.  and  we 
would  have  no  trouble,  and  to  heat  the 
cream  to  05  degrees  before,  putting  into 
the  churn.  We  have  had  no  more  trouble. 
Rutter  comes  in  a  very  few  minutes.  At 
the  time  she  told  us  of  this  we  had  cream 
in  the  churn  that  had  been  churned  for 
hours.  She  told  us  to  pour  it  into  pans 
and  scald  it.  let  it  stand  over  night,  and 
it  would  churn.  We  did  so,  and  the  next 
morning  five  minutes*  churning  brought 
butter.  Separated  cream  can  be  scalded 
the  same  way  if  it  is  slow  to  churn. 
Watertown,  N.  Y.  MRS.  C.  M.  F. 
Troublesome  Churning— -I  noticed 
two  questions  in  your  paper  signed  C.  S. 
and  II.  M.  I\  respectively  in  regard  to 
trouble  in  making  butter.  If  they  will 
beat  their  milk  to  (about)  120  degrees 
Fahrenheit  and  then  cool  rapidly  as  pos¬ 
sible  to  right  temperature  for  separating, 
after  which  ripen  the  cream  in  the  usual 
way,  they  will  have  no  trouble  in  getting 
butter  in  about  20  minutes,  and  the  qual¬ 
ity  will  be  in  no  way  Impaired.  E.  a.

Admission  to  Advanced  Registry 
■\Yhat  are  the  essentials  besides  per¬ 
formance  for  advanced  registry?  I  have 
a  cow,  apparently  purebred  Holstein, 
bought  as  a  heifer  out  of  a  Western 
carload.  She  is  a  wonderful  performer, 
hut  nothing  can  he  ascertained  ns  to  her 
ancestry.  She  dropped  twin  heifers  two 
weeks  ago  (fourth  lactation)  and  I  want 
grain  mixture,  and  if  you  have  abund¬ 
ance  of  skim-milk  you  would  need  little 
else  other  than  corn,  middlings  and  skim- 
milk.  The  brood  sows  themselves  would 
not  require  any  other  grain  but  the  corn, 
proviled  there  was  an  abundance  of  clover 
and  peas  in  the  forage  crop  mixture. 
The  little  pigs  could  be  given  some 
soaked  corn  with  middlings  sprinkled  over 
it,  and  would  grow  rapidly.  After  the 
pigs  are  weaned  the  brood  sows  could  be 
maintained  exclusively  on  forage  crops, 
if  it  is  intended  to  keep  them  over  and 
breed  them  for  a  litter  of  pigs  next  year. 
We  have  found  this  mixture  very  well 
adapted  under  similar  conditions  in  this 
State,  and  I  am  firm  in  my  belief  that  it 
will  work  in  this  instance.  If  G.  II.  II. 
is  fortunate  enough  to  have  two  areas  that 
can  be  devoted  to  swine  foraging  I  would
