Dairy Prospects.

Here and there through the North
west we hear of the contemplated es-
tablishment of new Cheese Factories
this spring. The number OF THESE
however will not probably be so
great as last year. Some cheese max
ers were discouraged last year oy
the low prices of cheese during the
most of the season. but the scarcity
and high price for good cheese now,
has something Of tendency 10
counteraet this encouragement.
One thing seems certain-that the
carly shipments of good cheese OF
This seasons make will command
high priees-probably higher than
can be maintained. This is q point
well worth considering by all facto-
ry men. ~
Another point which attracts much
attention among cheese-makers and
which especially should be thought
Of by those building factories, is the
necessity for better means of curing
and keeping cheese during hot wealth
or, so as not 70 force so large q part
Of the seasons product on the mar
ket at the worst time in the season.
TO secure the best possible marke ct
for his products at the nearest possi-
BILE point, and TO build up good
reputation for his own and his neigh
boris products are things which ev-
cry Northwestern dairy-man should
earnestly strive to do.
Those who make good article
either of cheese or butter, and put it
on tie market right, have no reason
to be discouraged at the prospect

EET The Janesville Times saws the
tobacco crop of this state for 1872 il
estimated at 100000 pounds or
about 10000 cases of $50 lbs. each,
or this crop the counties of Rock,
Jefferson and Dane, furnish nearly
the whole amount, while the section
of Rock county in and around Ed
gerton is the center of operations in
the State 1t is no new business
with many in Edgerton, as the weed
has been cultivated for ten years
past. Much of the tobacco il
grown on shares, and the proprietors
of the land estimate the cost per
acre at about $50. In the main. il
has been a profitable crop, the small
prices accepted being mostly by
those who felt unable to hold their
crops until the rIse-which is tolera-
bly, sure to come sooner or later each
year, The prospect for the year to
come is, that less tobacco will be
grown than was the caue last wear.
Several causes have induced this. the
principle one being the present dis,
couraglngly low rates of sale.
But however this may be, the val.
nc and comparative security of the
tobacco crop is fully established.

the devil. Said Noah. ''its fruit

Therefore, ifa man only cats of the
fruit of the vineyard he is as nice and
innocent as a lamb; if he drink riac,
he thinks he Is a lion when he is not,
and falls into mischief; If he drinks
habitually, he becomes as selfish as a
hog If he gets drunk, he iabbers and
jumps about, and is as silly and nasty

A SLIGHT MIsTAKE.-An incident
occurred one night last week OIL JEFF
ferson street, louisville, Ky, which
was quite interesting, at least, to one
person concerned. A young and
handsome clerk was quietly walking
down the street, when suddenly love
" young lady flashed across his path
like q startled sunbeam, a soft pair Of
arms were wreathed around his neck,
a pretty face was thrust under his hat,
and a plump pair Of rosy lips printed
a thrilling kiss fairly on his mouth.
The bashfnl young man ''felt
all over in streaks" for a moment, but
recovered himselfwhen the young lady
drew back blushing and trembling,
and timidly hiding her tacc with her
hands begged to be excused for mis-
taking him for an uncle. Think Of
that /! An uncle indeed But not with
standing the insinnation, the young
clerk was under 30 many obligations
to the lady for her mistake that he ac-
cepted the apology and calamity of
fered to excuse her if she would repeat
the outrage. She couldn't see the ne
cessity of that however, and he saunt-
cred homewarl to dream Of soft-arm-
ed and rosy-lipped angels-and their
uncles.

heard their incessant screaming, ac-
companied by loud and angry vocif

that they are mobbing an owl. and

of ours while riding in the country,
heard this screaming from large as
semblage Of jays, and at the same time
perceived that a man, who, having
picked up stone, crept stealtllily
along the road for some distance. Our
informant, thinking that this action Of
his had some reference to the noise Of
the jays, although he scarcely thought
it probable that they would remain to
be pelted, rode up and asked what he
was about to do. ''Oh," I've said,
''these jays are mobbing an OWL LIE

he replied. ''but that Is the noise they
always make when so doing; !" then,

was picking up the stone to knock
him down. The curiosity of our in
f0rmant was excited, and, opening a
gate, he rode close to a tree, whence
Che jays had already flown, and there
sat the owl, which allowed the tree to
be shaken violently before 1t took
flight.
