THE XUKA.L NEW-YORKER 
SI 
POINTS FOR TAMWORTH SWINE. 
Our reasons for preferring the Tam- 
worth to other breeds of swine are as fol¬ 
lows : 
Under ordinary conditions it does not 
cost any more to produce a pound of 
meat on the Tamworth than it does on 
the fat breeds and under our conditions, 
it does not cost as much, and at the same 
time their meat is of a superior flavor, 
and has a much larger per cent of lean, 
their sides being streaked and their ham 
and shoulders largely lean, with a de¬ 
lightful admixture of fat. They are won¬ 
derfully strong and healthy and are 
blessed with a splendid appetite. They 
are very prolific, nearly always having 
litters of from eight to 12, and sometimes 
more, and usually raise all the pigs far¬ 
rowed. They are better rustlers than 
any breed we know. They are able to 
make fairly good gains on large thin 
pastures, without grain, eating weeds and 
grasses on which, to say the least, the 
fat breeds would hut maintain them¬ 
selves. We do not believe there is any 
live stock that will pay better for the 
money invested than the Tamworth will, 
When given good clover pasturage, with 
a small allowance of Indian corn. As a 
pen hog, for those who keep but one or 
two for home consumption, the Tamworth 
has no peer. They are strong of vital 
organs, and are possessed of wonderful 
appetites, being ready at all times for 
the swill and other waste feeds, convert¬ 
ing this feed into the best and most pal¬ 
atable of all meats. For years we have 
been growing, killing and curing large 
numbers of high grades and some pure¬ 
bred of this breed and we have always 
been able to sell their hams and sides at 
from three to five cents per pound higher 
than meats of other breeds on our local 
market. We now only keep purebreds, 
as the demand for them is growing.

RECORD OF 6 PURE BLOODS. 
I see on page 1236 an article by G. A. 
Birdsall, Otsego Co., N. Y., in which he 
states that he wishes to step to the front 
and present the record of his herd of 
six grade Holstein cows from three to 
eight years old. I have six purebred 
Ilolsteins, five two-year-old heifers and 
one four years old. I give below the 
names, ages, and weight of milk.

Segis Korndyke Pontiac, 2 years 9,077.3 
Total . 62.501.8 
Average for the six head. 10,416.9 
I cannot tell just what this milk 
brought as some of it went to a local 
milkman at five cents per quart, and some 
to the cream gatherer, skim-milk, being 
used at home for feeding calves and pigs. 
Figuring the milk at the average price 
received by Mr. Birdsall would make the 
milk average $168.96 per cow, in addition 
I have four very salable heifers, about 
one year old. There is plenty of room at 
the top; let us hear from others. 
Connecticut. W. b. whitlock. 
Why I Keep Jerseys.— There are so 
many reasons it would be impossible to 
answer all. The Jersey is a small, dainty 
animal, very beautiful to look at, and 
businesslike at the pail with her rich 
milk. I)o you not think most people 
would rather have 20 quarts of rich milk 
than 40 quarts of milk from a cow with¬ 
out a high butter fat test? People argue 
that Jerseys are not good for anything 
after their usefulness at the pail is over, 
and that, for example, a Holstein cow 
brings a good price at the butcher’s. My 
idea is, if you want a dairy cow get one, 
but a beef cow is a different animal alto¬ 
gether. I am not a believer in a dual- 
purpose cow ; it is one thing or the other. 
I started with one cow a couple of years 
ago, and now have 15. besides each year 
selling young stock. I have only bought 
four cows and one young hull, raising all 
the rest of my herd. I have been very 
careful of the blood that runs through 
the veins of my cows. That is why I go 
slow but sure. My older hull is St. Lam¬ 
bert, a great-great-grandson of Ida and 
Bachelor of St. Lambert, and a grandson 
of Matilda’s fourth son, and the other is 
a grandson of the imported Eminent. My 
cows are all descendants of Pedro, and in 
their veins runs the blood of Alpheu, Eu¬ 
rope, Eurotas, Brown Bessie, and others 
equally as well known. I do neft exhibit, 
believing that it is too exciting, and I 
run too great a risk with disease. Never 
having consumption or abortion in my 
herd, I do not choose to risk it in the 
show ring. I can sell my stock on their 
pedigree, and that is best, for blood will 
tell in the animal kingdom as well as in 
the human family. Great care is exercised 
in bringing the young stock to perfection, 
and I never allow my matrons to milk up 
to their time of calving, always drying 
them up for two months; then I obtain 
good strong calves and their mother is in 
good condition. I have my young stock 
come in the Spring and early Summer, 
so that they can have the good sunshine 
and the green grass. 
I believe in the tuberculin test, but I 
do not believe in letting any “Tom, Dick 
or Harry” use it—only a graduate veteri¬ 
narian, and be sure he knows his busi¬ 
ness. I can approach my cows at any 
time. Kindliness and gentleness to dairy 
cows has a direct money value to one; 
besides, if in case of fire or accident, one 
can easily handle and calm them. Teach 
them to come at the call of their names; 
it can be done with no trouble. It is the 
little things that count.

Our main products, except milk, are 
marketed at Utica, and as we are 12 miles 
from Utica, no garden truck is raised, 
and our main dependence is market milk, 
which Borden’s, from Waterville, get at 
their contract price, with additions as 
earned. Potatoes are our main money 
crop, and are bringing to the consumer 
in Utica $1.10 per bushel, and from the 
stores 90 cents to $1 at Utica. Fruit is 
a failure in this section this season. 
Grade Holstein cows, springers, $65 to 
$100, depending on color, size and mark¬ 
ings. A pea viner at Paris Ilill gives a 
chance to those who wish to raise peas to 
be delivered there at their contract price, 
which is $2.50 per hundred weight for 
early peas and $2.50 per hundred weight 
for late peas. Timothy hay, $18 to $19 
per ton loose at Utica, and $14 to $15 
to dealers at barn, dealer to bale, and 
farmer to deliver to nearest freight depot.
