TOT tAp wa
Patrons Of Husbandry.

MR. Enron The great leading neces-
sty pointed out to US at all of the agricultural
gatherings, and in the agricultural columns Of
the Press of late, is, the adoption Of meas.
ures to promote the farmers interest No
nobler theme can command their attention.
Without agriculture civilization and Christi
anity would be impossibilties Farming in.
diligently and scientifically, as it must ulti.
mately be, will afford scope for the exercise
of every human faculty. However before
the millennium in farming is reached, there
must be many knotty problems solved, and
these, too, only by series Of careful obser.
vations combined With all the knowledge and
science we can command. The human mind
is so constructed that it can perform only one
duty in a given time and for each one of us
individually and single-handedly to try to solve
even part Of these questions is simply folly.
We should all be Methuselahs before the
conclusion could be reached. How can the
difficulty be overcome ? Simply by uniting
our efforts and working upon some systema-
tized plan as a basis. There is an order, and
the only one in existence, that is in any way
calculated to benefit the farmers Of our coun-
try, and this order is the Patrons Of Hus-
bandry. The order is secret one, and this
to the minds Of many is an objection.
They consider rap at the door" unnec-
essary to the success of such an institution,
But we must not be too bigoted in this mat.
ter and thus let one or two small faults we
think we see overshadow the good the order
may possess.
The order has a central head at Washing

uniformly and Systematically its operations
through the different grades from National to
State and township Oranges consequently an
effective working body.
The admittance is so small that it is no oh.
lection. The sum paid out to ascertain the
whole secret cannot bankrupt any of our far
mers. We are about to start. Grange here,
aud soon hope to see other towns in Wash
iugton county follow our example

4 Rare Copartnership.

One Of the best farms in Franklin county
is owned aud managed by two brothers, whose
locks are now silyercd by many years Of hon
est labor Their well-kept lands extend over
hundreds Of acres, including some Of the
most fertile pastures where Craze in the sum

found ia New England. Hundreds of acres
Of woodland are covered with heavy growth
of timber, and instead Of being pilaged and
robbed by the invading axe, are increasing in
value every year Extensive orchards are in
the best bearing condition, aud frequently
contribute over a thousand dollars TO the an
nual income. They own dairy Of some
twenty cows, and the golden butter produced
is some Of the best that fods its way to the
Boston market. Each Of these brothers has
family, and they reside in two grand old
farm-houses in close proximity, beneath the
spreading branches Of magnificent elms.
But what seems little remarkable, in this
age OF greed and sclfshness, is that the rela-
tious OF the two families are always most
friendly and in the most perfect harmony.
They share everything 10 common. There is
no division Of the proceeds Of their well-pay-
ing farm. Either draws for the wants of him.

There is 10 finding Of fault because some may
think they are doing more than their share Of

the brothers is an invalid, the management OF
the dairy has fallen to the lot of the other ;
but this extra duty is discharged as a matter

IL requires about sixteen quarts Of good
milk to make one pound Of butter, and ten
quarts to make one pound Of cheese
1t is often a question with farmers, how
they can best dispose Of their dairy products.
If we consider that the pork produced from
the buttermilk or whey pays for the extra
trouble involved in the care of butter and
cheese, the account will stand about as fol-
lows when butter is selling at forty cents a
pound, cheese at eleven cents, and milk at
three cents per quart
One pound Of butter--l6 quarts Of milk
40 cents, or % cents per quart for milk.
One pound of cheese--l0 quarts Of milk
IL cents, or Ill cents per quart for
milk.
In order to pay three cents per quart for
the milk consumed, the pound Of cheese would
have to be sold at thirty cents, or one pound
Of butter at fifty cents
In the ncghborhood of large cities milk
will command even better prices than the
above, as it is frequently worth five cents per
quart this would bring the value of the
pound Of butter up to eighty cents and the
cheese to fifty cents.
A farmer can easily judge from these fig
urcs which is the most profitable business ioi
him, the prices being in all cases those which
can be obtained on the farm If the articles
are to be delivered the ratios may be some
what changed.
For person living long distance from
market, or where the means Of communca.
| ton are slow and uncertain, cheese will mos
I likely be the only available meaus Of reaching
a market. For those living nearorto market
with good facilities for reaching it, butter i
the best paying product.
Ia order to make milk pay, the msrke
must not be over two or three hours dstanc,
from the farm Many railroads, however
equalize the rates Of freight on milk, charg
ing all their customers the same price, whethe
they live ten or thirty miles from the city

Cost of Small Cheese Factory

As mauy farmers are making inquiries about
butter and cheese factories, they will be in.
terested in reading the following estimate Of
the cost Of a small cheese factory, which we clip
from the Manufacturer 4. Builder: For 100
cows, a building sixty by twenty-six feet, with
sixteen feet posts, making it two-s,ories,
would be required. Take twenty-four feet
from the lower story for make-room, leav-
ing the remainder and the upper story for
curng-rooms. The upper story should be
partitioned the same as the lower. The
twenty-iour foot room over the make-room
should be plastered aud furnished with stoves
suitable for curing early and late cheese.
The cost depends on the price Of lumber and
labor, which differs in localities. rough,
substantial building, which will answer in
every respect in most localities, would cost
1000 If finished with paint, &C., 81 800
It could be furnished with vat, tank, hoops,
scales, &c, for $500, making in all 81 800
for the rough building, and 1900 for the
finished one For 200 cows the same sized
building would answer. For vat aud fixtures
$500 making in all $1,000 for rough and
81 500 for finished building. Stock compa-
hles are loIheu Oy luoee lhteIestcu thAlug Que
or more shares, which may be $50 or 500
each. \ committee is chosen by the share
holders, who supeliniend the building of the
factory, hiring help, &c. A dairy of 100
cows can be managed by a man of experience
with additional help, which could be hired at
from two to three dollars and board For
two hundred cows he would want an addi-
tiona hand, which might be a woman and
inexperienced. The question is often asked,
how many cows must factory number to
pay2 For an individual to build a factory
to work up milk for others at two dollars a
hundred, which is the common price of max.
Ing up and furnishing the cheese, all boxed
aud ready for market, he would want three
hundred cows or more to make paying bus
mess.

Make it look tidy about your buildings.
As we ride through the country it is strange
to see how many farmers there are who leave
old rubbish of every description to collect
about their buildings, which make it look
very unlidy-such as old sleds, sleighs, wag-
ons, cart Wheels old boards, brush, and every
conceivable thing is tumbled one side around
the buildings aud fences, when they become
useless, which ought to be burnt up; it is
but very little work to keep it picked up, A
few minutes time before break fast, or at night,
or at any time when we have few spare
moments, will do wonders towards making il
look neat and tidy, and think il is much
more healthy where il is kept neat aud clean
