1914 . 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKEH 
1485 
used for making ice cream or sold by the 
plant for that purpose, the farmer should 
receive close to one cent a “point” for his 
cream, or 35 cents per quart for a 35 per 
cent, cream. If this was the case, and it 
could he sold this way, the year round, 
which might he possible in some cases, the 
farmer would receive for his 13,028.6 
pounds or 6.418 quarts of 35 per cent, 
cream $2,246.30. The value of the skim- 
milk, $534.85. added to $2,246.30, makes 
a grand total of $2,781.15, or $632.39 
more than receipts for whole milk. This 
latter method shows what a neat profit 
there is in selling cream for ice cream pur¬ 
poses. Of course cream produced for any 
purpose must be of good quality to de¬ 
mand top prices. However, when milk is 
sold wholesale sanitary conditions must 
be so good that with proper care the 
cream is bound to be good. There is a 
tremendous call for good cream in this 
State at the present time. 
Comparison of Value. —In summing 
up the receipts of our farmer in selling 
his product in the different ways men¬ 
tioned we get the following : 
Selling wholesale milk. $2,148.76 
Selling butter. 2,456.37 
Selling cream for buttermaking 2,176.45 
Selling cream for ice cream 
making . 2,781.15 
Another interesting feature is summed 
up as follows: 
Value of fertilizing constituents sold 
from farm if 70 per cent, are available in 
the manure. 
In selling milk . $112.56 
In selling cream . 22.34 
In selling butter. 0.17 
Fertilizer Values. —It can be seen 
that $90.22 worth of fertilizer are kept 
on the farm when cream is sold, as 
against none when milk is sold. In sell¬ 
ing butter this sum is increased to 
$112.32. certainly a good-sized fertilizer 
hill. This amount of fertilizer added to 
the farm each year will accomplish won¬ 
ders in giving the farm a fine appearance 
by keeping the soil in good condition. The 
other decided advantage of selling cream 
or butter is that one has an abundance 
of skim-milk on the farm. This with a 
good purebred .sire should make a man 
dependent on nobody for good milk and 
butterfat producing animals. H. F. J. 
AMERICA FOR PERCHERONS. 
T HE outbreak of the European War, 
which shut off all importations, ac¬ 
cording to Secretary Wayne Dins- 
more, of the Percheron Society of Amer¬ 
ica, has undoubtedly occasioned the 
dropping off of registrations. Fall im¬ 
portations being stopped, what otherwise 
would have been the greatest year in 
this respect suffered a decline of from 
9.754 to 9,364 registrations, the year end¬ 
ing with October 31, 1914, compared with 
the preceding one. Mr. Dinsmore at the 
recent Chicago meeting of the Society, 
called attention to the substantial in¬ 
crease in American-bred stallions and 
mares. A year ago Indiana stood tenth 
in the number of mares and stallions pur¬ 
chased. and in this short time she took 
third place in the number of animals pur¬ 
chased, due to efforts of the Indiana Stal¬ 
lion Board, which has been active in 
weeding out grade and unsound animals. 
President White, of the Percheron So¬ 
ciety, said in part: “Except the Per¬ 
cheron alone, the Belgian is the most pop¬ 
ular draft horse in America, and with the 
exception of Belgian studs in America the 
race is almost eliminated. France has al¬ 
ready prohibited for at least five years 
the exportation of mares of any breed. 
We have to-day in this country not less 
than 100,000 purebred Percherons, worth 
approximately $50,000,000. Besides hav¬ 
ing before us the entire American market 
it is more than probable that we shall 
have to supply breeding stock to Canada 
and Argentina, countries in which Per¬ 
cheron popularity is increasing by leaps 
and bounds, and even reinvigorate and 
replenish French stock. We added 8S0 
members during the past year, making 
our total membership 6,420, and we are 
now the largest and strongest horse breed¬ 
ing organization in the world. It was 
‘hund necessary to charge our members a 
fee for transfers, the entire cessation of 
mports, a source from which we derived 
$j5.000 annually, having been cut off.” 
The following officers were re-elected : 
E. B. White, president; W. S. Corsa, 
vice-president; C. M. Jones, treasurer; 
Wayne Dinsmore, secretary. The retir¬ 
ing directors were E. B. White, Leesburg, 
Va.; C. M. .Tones, Plain City, Ohio, and 
.T. M. McLaughlin, of Dickerson. Md. 
Nominees brought before the annual meet¬ 
ing were E. B. White, C. M. Jones and 
A. L. Robison. Jr. 
Dishorning Twice ; Inbreeding Turkeys. 
I S there any danger in cutting a cow’s 
horns off the second time? 2. Can you 
feed a pig eight weeks old too much 
corn? 3. Would it do to mate a young 
gobbler with parent stock? Would it 
make the young turkeys inferior? 
New York. s. L. B. 
1. There is no special danger in the 
second operation, provided the docking 
shears are sharp and disinfected. Where 
second dishorning is necessary the cut¬ 
ting has been done too far from the head 
at the first operation. 2. Any pig can be 
fed too much corn, and overfeeding with 
corn is a very common cause of sickness 
among hogs. An eight-week-old pig 
should not have a large amount of corn, 
but may have cornmeal as a part ration 
in slop with other meals. New corn 
should be fed very sparingly at first, and 
form but a small part of the ration. Fed 
otherwise it often kills young pigs. 3. 
One in-cross may do no harm, but tur¬ 
keys nowadays are so prone to weakness 
and disease that it is best, on general 
principles, to mate the hens with a strong, 
non-akin gobbler. a. s. a. 
Ration for Horses. 
I AM obliged to buy all feed for four 
farm horses for two months and 
more, and it is a very serious item. 
Would you give a proper ration for 
horses where feed is bought. I am now 
feeding a mixture of hominy and bran, 
half and half, in addition to Alfalfa. I 
wanted this last for my cattle but can 
get at no other hay at present. 
Pennsylvania. G. w. s. 
To prescribe an ideal ration for horses 
one would have to know their age, con¬ 
dition and the amount of work that they 
are doing. The universally used grains 
that seem to fit about all conditions are 
oats and corn, and if these are avail¬ 
able they will probably prove as satis¬ 
factory as anything that you can pur¬ 
chase. Ground together in equal parts, 
they may be fed in quantity proportioned 
to the work that the horses are doing. 
The average farm horse doing ordinary 
work will keep in good condition on 12 
quarts daily of corn and oat chop, but if 
the work is hard, like continuous plow¬ 
ing. more grain will be needed. There 
has been considerable prejudice against 
Alfalfa hay for horses. It is laxative 
and horses eating it excrete more urine 
than those on hay from native grasses. 
There seems to be no evidence, however, 
that these effects are at all injurious, and 
various experiment stations, as well as 
private owners, report excellent results 
from Alfalfa hay fed to work horses and 
commend its use. M. B. D. 
Catching a Hog. 
O X page 1225. regarding balky horse, 
A. 8. A. advises W. E. P. to throw 
him with side lines and “hog-tie” 
him. Will you explain this hog-tie meth¬ 
od? Are all four feet tied together or 
how does he do it? 2. How would you 
go to work to snare a hog to catch him? 
Is small rope or wire used? c. H. F. 
1. By the term “hog-tie” is meant 
bringing the four feet together and tying 
them there. The horse is thrown; then 
the feet are * unched and tied by means 
of buckling straps. 2. A double hinged 
hurdle is used to pen the hog into a corner, 
then a noose of wire or small rope is 
put around the upper jaw. Medicine may 
be administered by means of bottle hav¬ 
ing a bit of strong rubber hose slipped 
onto the neck; this is thrust into the 
mouth and the medicine poured in. An¬ 
other plan is to cut a hole in an old 
shoe, stick that in the mouth and allow 
the hog to chew, then pour the medicine 
into the shoe. A. s. a.

In a bulletin published by the Minnesota 
Experiment Station, Professor Thomas P. 
Cooper estimates that a cow that produces 
only 4.000 pounds of milk per year will 
cause her owner a loss of $110 during her 
lifetime. 
He figures that a 5.000-pound cow Is worth 
$25: a 6,000-pound cow is worth $07: an 
8,000-pouud cow is worth $150, and a 10,000-
