BUTTER FACToRIIs.

Just now factory butter, like factory
cheese, commands an extra price. In
butter factories, as in cheese factories,
superior class of help is employed, and
we think the expenses to the patrons are
lightened and the profits increased. We
find it so among our cheese factories, and
no farmers wife who has once been rid Of
cheese making would be willing to return
to the old method. 1t would be Just the
same with farmers wives, If the farmers
in the butter districts were to once adopt
the factory system of butter making, it is
such a relief to the family. And as the
sales are made oftener, there Is the advan-
tage Of always having ready money.
The same mode Of dividing expenses
and proceeds of the sales may be employed
in butter factories that is employed in
cheese factories; or a company might be
formed TO buy the milk or cream only
might be taken to the factory. As 10 the
butter-milk or skinned milk, that might
be fed to hogs or calves. If the factory is
conducted on the pro rata system, good
way would be to purchase hogs or calves
with the money of the patrons, taking
those of the patrons, at fixed rate per
pound, put them together and employ q
man to take care of them. If any addi.
tional feed is needed let it be purchased
with the common fund by an executive
committee. In the fall, when the calves
or hogs are disposed Of. let the profits be
divided pro rata.
1t seems to us that this plan would give
satisfaction, and we know it would make
freer. happier homes. to be relieved from
the care and drudgery Of the dairy. This
is to us vital consideration, and induces
us to favor any kind Of profitable asso-
citation that will lift the burden from the
backs oflwomen.-lIica Herald.

WAYS OF CARRYING BABIES.

In the Vienna exposition are number
of models illustrating the style in which
women of different nations carry their ba-
bies. The Asiatic Indian woman carries
her in blanket hanging in front some
what below the waist; the Bengalese wo-
men, with the child astrids low down up
on her left hip, and her left arm support
ing its back. The figure seems quite in
different as to the difficulties in this style
Of carrying, which must be highly artis-
tic performance if done so cleverly in re-
ality. The Egyptian woman carries hers
in stately manner. the child sitting as
tride her shoulder with its hands upon her
head. and without any clothing to speak
of. The Brazilian woman carries hers in
a somewhat similar manner. also in full
undress, it sitting astrids her neck. The
Chinese baby is carried upright upon the
back, in blanket, and the South African
in bag in front, formed by blanket
round the hips of the mother. The lower
Australian woman carries hers by swinging
1t in blanket over one shoulder upon her
back while the northern Australian carries
hers bound upon board. after the style
of candy-models in confectionery stores.
Lapland baby is carried in sledge shaped
cot, made of leather. IT seems to have
been chucked in, feet foremost, and then
a frame tied over the opening for its face.
whether to prevent it from crawling out
or to keep the dogs from kissing 1t. is
more than can be imagined. The most
unique style OF all is that Of the Esqui-
maux woman, who wears wide, high-top
boots, and puts the baby. right-end fore
most, down in the outside of one of them,
and doubtless, according to DR.. Kane's
description other style, carrying her cook
ing and eating utensils in the other. The
North American woman carries her pap
oose strapped to board, and that strap
ped upon her back bpa band over the
forehead.

Exercise ana Grain for Horses.

Very many farmers who own good
horses do not appreciate the importance
of a little grain and give them regular
exercise in winter. At this season of
the year farmers horses are frequently
left standing in the stable for weeks at
a time, eating unlimited quantities of
hay, and when taken out submit
ted to violent exercise with their stom-
achs overloaded with undigests d hay.
A year or two of this management is
almost certain to bring on heaves, an
incurable disease that very seriously
depreciates a horse for work and ruins
him for market. The horse has COM
pRTatively q smaller stomach than any
other animal, and never should be driv-
en- hard Immediately after eating heart
lily of hay or after drinking, as it is GER
tain to cause a permanent injury that
will develop itself in time.
1t is not economy to keep horses
through the winter without grain.
With little grain every day and one
half the hay that most farmers feed,
horses will come out of the winter much
better fitted for the springs work than
when the grain is omitted, and the saving
in hay at present prices will nearly if
not quite pay for the grain.
There is not sufficient strength in
hay to support the muscles of the
horse, and if fed on it alone for a long
time there is certain to be a great fall
ing off of the muscle strength, although
the usual amount of flesh may be re-
tanned. Corn in the ear, if sound and
well cured, is good grain for horses in
cold weather, as it is heating and OF
sufficient strength when they are not
at hard work; shelled corn is not safe
feed, as 1t is very liable to have been
heated and is almost invariably dusty.
For several weeks previous to the COM
mencemeut of hard work, oats should
be the grain fed, as there is no other
grain that contains so much muscle sus-
tanning element, and they are cooling TO
the blood. An occasional feed of roots,
either carrots, parsnips or potatoes 1--WE
prefer the former) to horses during the
winter is of great value. Another i'm
portant item is salt; a small feed of
this at least three times a week should
not be omitted. Many of our best
practical hOrsemen keep salt before
their horses constantly, and recommend
it in strong terms Ohio Farmer.

liver complaint.

By R. '. Pierce, n. D., of the Worlds Dis

A healthy liver secretes each day about two
and q half pounds of bile, which contains
great amount OF waste material taken from the

gested, It fails to eliminate this VAT amount

COmDositiOn of Plants.

All plants are composed of fourteen
invariable elements, four of which are
termed organic and ten mineral, viz
Organic elements-Carbon,h hydrogen,
oxygen, nitrogen.
Mineral elements-PhosphoTus, pot
ash, soda, lime magnesia, sulphur, chic
rine, SILICA, iron, manganese.
The four organic elements combined
are to be found only in living plants
and animals. The ten mineral elements
belong to the solid earth.
All vegetable substances are com
posed of 95 per cent. of the four or
ganic elements, the other 5 per cent.
being furnished by the mineral. The
organic elements are supplied as fol-
lows carbon, in the form of carbonic
acid taken from the air, and breathed
into the plants through the leaves. Hy-
drogen is supplied by water. Oxygen
by carbonic acid and water, and nitro
gen partly by the air in form of gas,
and partly through the roots from sub
stances in the earth containing nitrogen
in the form of ammonia, salt-petre, nj
trate of soda, and organic substances
In the form of flesh and blood of an
imals, manure, etc.
OF the ten mineral elements that
compose the other FER cent. of plants.
SIX are found In nearly all the soils in
sufficient quantity for the supply of the
plant, viz: Magnesia, sulphur, chlorine,
SILICA, iron and manganese. But def
cient in the other four, viz Phospho-
rus, potash, lime and soda. These
four elements, joined wi b any sub
stance containing nitrogen or ammo
MIA, are necessary to make q good ma
nure, m order to supply the soil with
the lacking elemC nts. Therefore, bone
dust, soluble bone, super-phosphate,
with sulphate OF ammonia, nitrate of
soda, potash and sulphate of lime, com.
bined in proper proportions, will

BED-MAKTNG AND RENovArINa. All
parts of a bed, mattress, blankets as

ton quite as much as the sheets. To al

as once in three months. A sheet can be

way of cleansing a mattress but by
steaming IL, or picking it to pieces, and
thus in fragments exposing It to the
rays OF the sun. AS these processes
are scarcely Tracticable with any of the
ordinary mattresses, / am decidedly of
the opinion that the good old-fashioned
straw-bed, which can every three
months be changed for fresh straw. and
the tick be washed, is the sweetest and
healthiest of beds. If, in the winter
season, the porousness of the straw-bed
makes it a little uncomfortable, spread
over il q comforter or two wooden blank
cts, which should be washed as often as
every two weeks. With this strange
ment, if you wash ali the bed cover

weeks, you viii have a delightful
healthy bed. Now if you leave the bed
to air, with open windows during the
day, and not make it up for the night
before evening, you viii have added
