New Jersey Pigs Sold Abroad. 
T WO little pigs toll a fine story of New 
Jersey’s high place in the develop¬ 
ment of annual industry. They were 
members of the handsome herd of Duroc- 
Jerseys at the State Experiment Station. 
New Brunswick, until D. Nikitin, of the 
Russian' Imperial Department of Agri¬ 
culture and S. K. Eissogosky, chief of the 
Russian Station of Animal Husbandry, 
saw them and bought them for the Czar’s 
special farm. These Russian officials 
have been on a tour of the various State 
experiment stations in the United States, 
obtaining data for use in Russia in es¬ 
tablishing similar stations there. They 
were especially impressed with the work 
on the New Jersey State Farm, and par¬ 
ticularly with the departments of swine 
and poultry. The two little Puroc-Jer- 
seys sailed July 4th, and will be followed 
later by several specimens of poultry. 
From this it appears that while Europe 
raises much more per acre of cultivated 
land than we do, our animals and poul¬ 
try are of such superior quality that they 
are imported for breeding purposes. We 
do not know all that is known in Eu¬ 
rope, but we excel in some things that 
are of great agricultural value and im¬ 
portance. • t>- T * it* 
New Jersey Cattle Breeders Incorporate. 
A RTICLES of incorporation have been 
filed at Trenton by the Somerset Hol¬ 
stein Breders’ Corporation, a concern 
ceru formed by stockmen of that county 
to breed and sell Holstein cattle. The 
corporation is capitalized at $.”>00,000. 
The corporation has taken over six large 
farms along the Raritan River, compris¬ 
ing almost 1.000 acres, together with sev¬ 
eral herds, numbering about 200 head of 
registered cattle. Included in these herds 
arc several record-holding Holsteins. The 
corporation’s charter also provides for the 
promotion of manufacturing and power 
interests in connection with water rights. 
The officers of the corporation are: Pres¬ 
ident, Albert A. Cortel.vou; vice-presi¬ 
dent, Bernard Meyer; secretary, Jacob 
Todd. Judge Clarence E. Case is also in¬ 
terested in the concern. 
When to Cut Ensilage Corn. 
W ILL you inform me how a person of 
limited experience can determine 
just the proper time for cutting 
silage corn for the silo, and also if such 
corn where juicy should be wetted, and 
how much? My silo has no drain in the 
bottom. __ J * v * 
Schenectady, N. Y. 
Usually the best time to cut com for 
the silo is when it would be cut for shock¬ 
ing and husking. That means when the 
ears are well formed and the kernels are 
well glazed over. It is not always possi¬ 
ble to wait until any particular time. An 
early frost may threaten or the silo filling 
machinery may be ready at a certain 
time when the work must be done. We 
would rather wait until the ears are well 
tilled with kernels, but in your latitude 
the corn may well be in the silo by Sep¬ 
tember 15. “Juicy” or green stalks will 
not need water.

I HAVE a colt three months old; lie has 
a rather large swelling on one of his 
hind feet at the knee. It is very soft. 
L have used two bottles of liniment, but 
it does not make much of a change. Is 
there anything that can be done for it? 
New York. p * M * 
This condition is a distension of the 
capsular ligament of the hock with syn¬ 
ovia (joint oil.) or it may have came from 
infection of the navel at birth, l’aint 
the joint with pine tar and let the colt 
run out on grass. Renew the application 
as soon as it wears off, but do not use the 
tar too often, or it will take the hair off 
clean. This may lead to reabsorptiou of 
the excessive fluid by the time the colt 
is a year old, but such conditions are ob¬ 
stinate and unpromising. A. s. A. 
Eczema. 
I HAVE a cow. a Jersey, four years 
old, due to come fresh in September; 
am milking her now. The skin on 
the udder lias become thick in spots, and 
afterwards it comes scaly, then scales 
peel off, leaving bright patches; and still 
hard. Can you give me a remedy? 
Virginia. B. S. D. 
Cleanse the affected spots once and 
when dry paint with tincture of iodine; 
then apply lanolin twice a day to soften 
the skin.' If the trouble persists use 
benzoated oxide of zinc ointment once a 
day. Keep the cow off dirty floors or 
places where she may infect her udder. 
A. S. A. 
Splint. 
I have a driving horse, weighing about 
1,100 pounds that has a bump on each 
front leg that I think is a splint. He is 
not lame on the left side, but limps some 
on the right leg when he trots. Could 
you advise me what to do, and whether 
he could be left, in the pasture or would 
have to be tied in the barn? I,. K. b. 
Wisconsin. 
Clip the hair from the splint and 
around it. Then blister the splint by rub- 
bing in a mixture of one dram of binio- 
dide of mercury and one ounce of lard. 
In three days rub lard on the blistered 
part and repeat the application of lard 
daily until the skin is sound. The blister 
may be used again in three or four weeks, 
if the lameness persists. The horse 
should be rested while under treatment.

Brittle Hoof; Eczema. 
W HAT do you advise for a horse’s 
hoof that is dry and brittle? 2. 
What can be done for a mare four 
years old which every Spring, about the 
time she is turned to pasture, swells up 
along the abdomen about a foot long and 
as thick as one’s arm? It gets pimply 
and yellow water runs out. If it requires 
internal remedies, can they be given to 
a mare in foal? w. M. 
Ohio. 
1. For brittle hoof give the following 
treatment: Mix together two parts of oil 
of tar and one part of oil of balsam of 
fir and apply to the juncture of the horn 
and hair of hoof every other night. In six 
weeks the hoof should hold nails; then ap- j 
ply twice a week. 2. Keep the mare off 
grass, as it disagrees with her and causes 
oezema. Keep the mare at steady work 
and feed light laxative rations, without 
grass or < 
joru.

ing to a creamery receive 2 1 />, all of 
which offers a splendid illustration of the 
lack of cooperation and organization 
among farmers. Compared with previous 
years there is very little difference in 
these prices. Pastures are very short, 
and have been all Summer; cows having 
to be fed as about in the Winter. The 
cows are mostly grade, with a tendency to 
weed out the poor ones and substitute 
Holsteins. There is no noticeable interest 
in any effort to improve herds by using 
purebred bulls. Personally, I do not be¬ 
lieve there is any profit in producing milk 
at these prices under these conditions; 
but. as it brings in a steady income the 
process is continued without going into 
the details of cost. The severe droughts 
of the past five or six years have prac¬ 
tically ruined the pastures and made re¬ 
seeding almost impossible: in many cases 
the work having to be done over and oyer 
again, and still no catch. The hay which 
has just been gathered was exceedingly 
thin; a smaller crop even than last year.

Markets in this vicinity are generally 
local and not influenced by outside values 
except where produce is shipped out in 
car lots. This applies to fruits, such as 
apples, pears, prunes (dried) and an oc¬ 
casional car of hogs, all of which are sub¬ 
ject to values as found in the open mar¬ 
ket. Garden products have a very lim¬ 
ited market, mostly disposed of in “trade ’ 
with the storekeepers, hence have no es¬ 
tablished rule of prices, not even the 
“supply and demand” rule, as the store¬ 
keeper usually pays what he thinks he 
can sell for, in a community where the 
majority grow their own vegetables. If 
one has for disposal produce grown ex¬ 
ceptionally early, like elsewhere, he can 
get a fair to good price therefor. Horses 
sell all the way from $40 for a plug to 
$400 for a well-matched team. Milch 
cows from $40 to $05 each. Sheep from 
$o to $4.50 per head; pigs $1.50 at wean¬ 
ing. except where purebreds only are 
handled, which bring about $10 each. 
Larger seven to eight cents per pound on 
foot. Butterfat 25 to 20 cents per pound 
at the creameries, which pay expressage 
at these prices. As elsewhere these prices 
vary at different seasons of the year. 
Hens (fat) 14 to 15 cents per pound.

The Wisconsin Farmer notes that fewer 
and fewer of the Wisconsin farmers are con¬ 
tent to milk and care for cows that are able 
to produce only about 150 pounds of butter. 
During two weeks last Spring 145 Wisconsin 
dairymen purchased registered purebred Hol¬

Everywhere the more progressive dairymen 
are alive to the necessity of using bred-for-
