The  Universal  Nurse — The  Cow 
Every  now  and  then  we  have  reports 
from  people,  who  say  they  have  found 
cows  which  are  willing  to  nurse  pigs. 
There  are  many  who  claim  that  such 
Milking  Time 
things  are  impossible — that  cows  are 
never  guilty  of  such  an  unnatural  per¬ 
formance.  To  prove  that  such  things  are 
possible,  J.  A.  Kozlarek  of  Dutchess  Co., 
N.  Y.,  sends  the  pictures  here  shown, 
on  farming  must  know  that  there  are  a 
great  many  crops  that  do  not  combine 
well  on  the  same  farm.  These  are  crops 
that  must  be  planned  at  the  same  time, 
worked  at  the  same  time,  and  harvested 
at  the  same  time. 
“Why,  then,  try  to  introduce  a  lot  of 
numerous  crops  on  a  small  scale,  with  a 
lot  of  extra  hand  labor  or  a  little  extra 
equipment  and  which  are  not  well  adapted 
to  your  locality,  or,  if  they  are,  may  in¬ 
terfere  with  some  other  well-established 
crop,  for  which  you  have  machinery  to 
work  and  on  which  you  have  spent  a  life¬ 
time  of  study?  I  have  never  made  a 
pound  of  butter,  because  I  live  in  a  sec¬ 
tion  where  there  are  milk  shipping  sta¬ 
tions.  My  milk  goes  to  New  York  and 
is  sold  as  fluid  milk.  It  nets  me  more 
than  it  would  if  it  were  made  into  butter. 
I  can  buy  my  butter  for  less  money  than 
I  could  produce  it,  from  sections  where 
they  do  not  have  a  market  for  fluid  milk. 
Anil  I  do  not  have  all  the  extra  work  of 
making  the  butter  for  nothing. 
“I  do  not  keep  sheep  because  there  are 
parts  of  the  country  where  land  is  very- 
cheap  and  dry,  where  woven  wire  fencing 
is  a  little  cheaper,  where  grain  used  for 
fattening  sheep  is  much  cheaper,  where 
there  are  practically  no  dogs,  where  the 
Winters  are  not  so  cold  and  where  there 
A  Busy  Coio 
and  the  following  note.  In  this  case,  evi¬ 
dently  the  maternal  instinct  of  the  cow 
has  overcome  any  race  or  breed  preju¬ 
dice  : 
I  am  inclosing  photos  of  pigs  sucking 
a  cow.  taken  by  me  on  the  farm  of  James 
M.  Griswold.  There  are  10  pigs  in  this 
litter,  but  only  three  suck  the  cow.  The 
cow  got  drunk  on  apples  and  her  milk 
went  bad,  so  no  effort  was  made  to 
stop  the  pigs.  You  will  note  that  the 
cow  wears  a  bell,  and  when  the  pigs  hear 
it  ringing  they  know  it  is  chow  time. 
You  will  also  note  that  in  the  act  of 
nursing  the  pigs’  necks  are  turned  up,  and 
after  a  short  time  the  muscles  of  the 
neck  tire  and  then  the  pigs  sit  on  their 
haunches,  as  shown  in  smaller  picture.

The  Special  Farmer’s  Argument 
The  following  letter  was  written  for 
the  Binghamton  Morning  Sun  by  Howard 
Sisson  of  Chenango  Co.,  N.  Y.  The  Sun 
printed  an  editorial  asking  why  farmers 
do  not  make  their  own  butter,  canned 
goods,  wheat  flour,  or  even  clothing,  as 
their  ancestors  did.  Mr.  Sisson  states 
flie  case  of  the  farmer  who  believes  in 
special  .crops : 
“I  have  never  bought  a  pound  of  oleo, 
nor  have  I  ever  made  a  pound  of  butter, 
never  bought  peas,  beans,  corn  nor  to¬ 
matoes  in  a  tin  can,  nor  had  a  garden.  I 
do  average  a  half  ton  milk  per  day,  one 
case  eggs  per  day,  one  ton  cabbage  per 
day,  and  about  three  bushels  potatoes  per 
day  for  the  year  round  to  sell. 
'  “I  live  in  a  section  where  this  produce 
can  be  produced  successfully,  and.  each  on 
a  large  scale, and  with  comparatively  lit¬ 
tle  hand  labor  for  each.  I  can.  by  using 
all  the  judgment  that  I  have  and  working 
as  hard  as  I  can,  for  as  long  hours  as  I 
can,  usually  make  a  little  profit  on  each 
item. 
“Of  these  commodities  mentioned  I  pro¬ 
duce  all  that  seems  possible,  or  at  least 
practical  to  produce.  On  the  other  hand, 
if  I  were  to  produce  all  the  different  kinds 
of  vegetables  and  fruits  which  one  would 
like  to  use,  many  of  them  would  not 
thrive  in  my  1  ocality. 
“I  would  also  have  to  cut  down  on 
those  that  do,  or  else  hire  more  help.  The 
machinery  which  I  now  use  would  lie  idle 
just  a  little  more.  I  would  have  to  in¬ 
vest  a  little  more  in  other  machinery  for 
producing  these  other  vegetable  and  fruits 
— some  of  which  do  not  naturally  thrive 
well  here.  I  would  have  to  learn  from 
study  and  experience  about  these  numer¬ 
ous  other  crops  and  take  time  from  othei 
produce,  with  which  I  am  fairly  expert. 
Then,  too,  a  person  who  is  well  informed 
is  no  market  for  milk,  and  consequently 
where  wool  can  be  produced  for  much  less 
than  I  can  produce  it.” 
Ton  of  Pork  in  Six  Months 
The  Ohio  Agricultural  College  is  inter¬ 
ested  in  a  pork  contest,  the  effort  being 
to  make  one  ton  of  pork  in  six  months 
from  one  litter  of  pigs.  We  have  already 
told  of  one  successful  litter ;  now  the 
college  gives  further  facts : 
Litters  entered  last  Spring  to  make  a 
ton  of  pork  six  months  from  birth  are 
reaching  that  age  from  day  to  day,  and 
already  14  qualifying  records  have  come 
into  headquarters  of  the  State  ton-litter 
contest  at  the  Ohio  State  University. 
Topping  these  14  records  is  that  of  G. 
L.  Evans  &  Son  of  Highland  County, 
who  raised  a  litter  of  only  10  purebred 
Poland  Chinas  to  a  weight  of  2,970  lbs. 
by  the  180th  day  after  birth.  Consider¬ 
ing  the  size  of  the  litter,  this  is  sup¬ 
posed  to  be  a  new  high  record. 
The  other  qualifying  litters  to  date 
are  those  of  Roy  C.  Davis,  Highland 
County,  11  Poland  China  pigs,  2,687  lbs. ; 
Irvine  Miller,  Pickaway  County,  11  pure¬ 
bred  Poland  Chinas  from  a  yearling  sow 
that  won  second,  at  18  months,  at  the 
recent  State  Fair,  after  raising  a  litter 
totaling  2,510  lbs. ;  F.  E.  Eichelberger  of 
Fayette  County,  with  two  litters  of  pure¬ 
bred  Duroc  Jerseys,  one  of  13  pig9, 
weighing  out  of  the  contest  at  2,503  lbs., 
and  the  other  of  11  pigs  weighing  out  at 
2.090  lbs. 
Charles  W.  Schleich,  Pickaway  Coun¬ 
ty,  11  purebred  spotted  Poland  Chinas, 
2,360  lbs. ;  G.  S.  Hunt,  Champaign  Coun¬ 
ty,  11  purebred  Duroc  Jerseys,  2,256  lbs.; 
A.  F.  Ervin,  Fayette  County,  10  pigs, 
2,240  lbs. ;  G.  A.  Wade,  Madison  County, 
10  purebred  Duroc  Jerseys,  2,172  lbs.; 
A.  Gallapoo,  Paulding  County,  nine  pure¬ 
bred  Poland  Chinas,  2.165  lbs.  ;  J.  P. 
Feller  &  Son,  Hancock  County,  10  pure¬ 
bred  Chester  Whites,  2,160  lbs. ;  Brels- 
ford  &  Hagans,  Champaign  County,  10 
purebred  Duroc  Jerseys,  2,120  lbs.;  John 
B.  Crampton,  Highland  County,  nine 
purebred  Poland  Chinas,  2,102  lbs. ;

“Is  your  poor  husband  dead?”  asked 
the  vicar  of  an  aged  member  of  his  flock. 
“Oh,  no,”  she  replied.  “But  you  are  in 
mourning,”  the  vicar  continued.  “Well, 
you  see.”  was  the  reply,  “my  old  man  an¬ 
noyed  me  so  this  afternoon  that  I  went 
into  mourning  for  my  first  husband.” —
