juries to the jaw, especially by the use
of stanchions. For this, and other
reasons he was opposed to stanchions.
Another evil was putting cows
to the bull too soon after
calving. The generative organs
must have rest. Parturition
caused some disease. Retentionsof the
placenta often occurred. This should
be watched, and prevented by manipu
, lation. No medicine should ever be
given to expel the placenta. Mr.. Cars
well askel if saitpeter would not do
it. The Doctor replied no, not that he
was aware of. Mr.. G. said he employ
ed it, and preferred it to manipulation.
The Doctor concluded by eul0glzing
prevention. Such means as breeding
/ from healthy animals, aud observing
rules Of good management would
ward off disease. -r..- ..-.r

CHEESE MANUFACTURE,

Chester HAHN, President of the Wis
consin Dairymen's Association, read a
paper on ''Cheese, methods Of manu-
facture, especially as to the manage,
ment OF tainted milk, and the best size
for and modes of curing cheese" $ He.
said 1t was comparatively easy to make
good cheese from good milk. But they
often had to deal with tainted milk, or
floating curd His method of treating
it differed somewhat from that usually
practised. He allowed fermentation to
take place before going through the
curd mill. Hehad succeeded in produc
ing a fair article of cheese from very
bad milk. 1t took more milk per pound
OF cheese when the milk was poor The
speaker detailed his whole process Of
cheese making with much minuteness.
He condemned the use of annatto as
needless and injurious fashion, which
ought to be rebelled against Curing
cheese was of great importance. The
curlng-room should not rise higher
than seventy five degrees. Great care
should be taken in the use of the agi-
tator, or curdraEe, lest the milk
should in effect be skinned Doctor
Wight, Of Oneida county, N. Y, has
stated that it did not require much
skill to run a cheese factory, the bust
ness was so systematized and the rules
so well understood. He differed from
the Doctor in this respect. Miss Wild.
ger, of De Kalb, Ill, stated her mode
of treating tainted milk. She cuts the
curd very fine, scalds at 100 degrees,
runs off the whey as quickly as posi-
bic, cooks the curd thoroughly, turns
on cold water, and lets the curd drain
perfectly before putting it into the
press.
G. H Wilder, of Evansville, urged
the impolicy of extreme eagerness on
the part Of the patrons OF factories to
get whey. It led to .scrambling, faint
ing of cans, and injury to the reputa-
ton of the factory. He had expert
mentcd largely in the feeding of whey,
and proved to his satisfaction that it
was of but little value. He had fgur-
ed it down to twenty one and a half
cents per ton. It didn't pay to team
it home even short distance. He
recommended milk routes along which
full load could be collected. Fac
tories should not be built nearer to
each other than will admit of such
routes In various directions. He urged
the Importance of both factorymen and
patrons understanding the business,
that 1t might be SO carried on that the
Northwest could successfully complete
with other districts in the dairy markets
of the world. - r-.. -.--- ....-s ..s4...

Block Houses; or Johnny's Philosophy.

There's not breath ofwind that blows

It's plain to see, as plaln can be,
Block houses do not fall"
The baby's in an ecstasy;
He shakes his curly locks;
On tiptue stands with outstretched hands,
And snatches at the blocks.
With fists and toes he strikes good blows, -
Who ever knew such fun?
To lett and right with all his might
He scatters every one.

MANUFACTURES OF BUTTER.


The subject Of Butter, Methods of
Manufacture, including Care of Milk,
Churning, Saltihg, and Packing, "
elected much discussion. One speaker
urged the use of Liverpool dairy salt,
or, next to that, Onondaga, and depre-
Gated the use Of. common salt, as it is
too coarse and full of impurities, so
much so that it will ruin butter, no
matter how we'll made in other partic.
ulars Another complained that the
course pursued by country dealers was
very discouraging to good butter max
ers. They do not discriminate as to
quality, paying as high for the poorest
as for the best. Prof. Miles said he
was in the habit of making his own
butter, because he could get better in
that way than he could buy. He had as
yellow butter in winterasin summer, and
this was attributable to the use of
roots. He fed yellow rutabaga turnips,
and avoided disagreeable flavor by
feeding at or just after milking. Fed
an hour or two before milking, turnips
would flavor the butter, but by feeding
them according to his practice the I'M
pleasantness was avoided, the flavor
passing off and not affecting the butter
John Porter of Mazomanie, described
his process of butter making, and
strongly condemned the practice advo
Gated by many of allowing the milk to
freeze in winter. Capt. John futile,
of Kenosha County, objected to the
washing of butter, and claimed that
that was the sure way of spelling it.
In working butter the human hand
should not touch it. If it did, more or
less animal heat would be impaired,
and that was injurious.

DISEASES OF DAIRY COWS.

DIR. W. Horne, V. S., of GAINESVILLE,
read a paper on diseases of dairy COWS,
their causes, prevention and treatment.
For animals to be healthy they must
have plenty of fresh air and sun. Their
abodes when housed should be clean,
well ventilated and warm, but not too
warm in cold weather. Plenty of good
food and pure water are also essential.
Having spoken generally of matters
pertaining to health, he proceeded to
speak of the diseases of the COW.
Abortion was first discussed. The
bull was often and enormously blamed
for this disease. It was contagious.

A British Whip.

Mr G. W. Smaliey, in late
letter to the New York Tribune,
describes the Whip" of the Brit.
ish House of Commons. The
whip is merely a member who
watches the movement of the
party machinery, and sees that
the men Of his party are on hand
to vote at critical moments. He
is supposed to know more of the
business in hand than any one
else, to keep himself fully posted
on the habits, places Of resort Of
his constituency, and to have them
brought in whenever needed
Each party has two of these con-
venient economizers of legislative
labor, who do not hesitate when
the danger is imminent, to break
up dinner party or to disturb a
royal levee. The whip is a sort
of under secretary of the Prime
Minister, and when there is a
general election his hands are full
and his feet are active. He is
the political manager Of the party,
and must agree with the local a.
gents and party magnates upon
nominations, the adjustment Of
disputes, and thousand and one
details of political manipulation,
which seem slight, but are very
essential. There are few respects
in which be resembles any official
in American politics, but he may
he most appropriately compared to
that political busybody, the Sec
retary of the State Central
Committee.

The Coming Hog Crop.

We take the following from the
| Drovers' Journal, of Chicago. =
1t possesses value as a statistica
statement:
"The entire number Of hog:
produced in the West for the last
packing season did not fall far
short OF 100000, if we add the
large number of Western hogs
that were packed in Canada and
our Eastern cities to the number
that was packed at the various
packing points in the West, and
we now expect to see the number
for the coming season reach fully
100000, and we expect to
see them made fat enough to
weigh as heavy as any equal num-
Der of hogs have ever weighed
heretofore. We expect to see
this result because it will be the
only course that farmers can take
for getting rid of a goodly part of
their corn supply at something
like living prices, and while We
do not expect to see an over-sup-
ply of pork, we do not believe it
will be prudent or safe for those
engaged in raising hogs TO expect
any better prices than were re.
allied during the past packing sea-
sou for hogs; say 365 to 426
pounds as the extreme range of
prices at Chicago. With all the
world at peace, every sound Oper
ator knows that it would never
do to pack such number of hogs
as we nova days have to deal
with, at prices that would give
check to the ffeest possi-
bic consumption Of tie product
both at hone aad abroad.
