WINDOWS IN HoRsE STABLES. "A German
paper states some curious facts relating to
the positi0n Of windows in horse stables,
and their power 70 affect the eyes, OF horses.
in one instance the horses Of a farmer-fne
animals, celebrated for their excellent CON
ditipn--Were kept in 3 stable lighted only
by small window at one side. When
hight was needed for work, the door was
temporarily left open the result was that
nearly all Of the animals had eyes Of fun-
equal strength, and II time number OF
them became blind on the side toward the
window. Strong light direct in the horses
faces, has been found 70 weaken the sight.
The worst position Of all for . stable win,
dow "a IN front Of the horses and much
higher then their heads. An officer had
bought perfectly sound mare from q
gentleman whose stable was lighted BY
windows e the rear 81 the stalls. TIE AMI.
nal was sound aud perfectly satisfactory.
After three months she became suddenly
ground shy on examining her eyes they
were found directed upward, and this was
explained bY The fact that the windows 81
the officers stable were situated above the
head Of the stalls, the eyes being generally
drawn IN that direction She was removed
20 another stall where the light waa ad-
mitted fgom AZ sides and in three m0nths'
time tie difficulty has disappeared.

A Model Dairy.

A writer in the Utica Herald
writes thus concerning a model dairy
which he recently visited -" The
mornings milk is set twenty-five hours
and the evenings twelve. All the
cream is taken off that can be at the
expiration of this time. It is allowed
tostand over until the next morning after
skimming to take on acid. Then it is
churned, worked and salted, three-quar-
ters ofan ounce ofsaltto pound of fbutter.
The churning is done in dash churns,
by steam power. The milk is set in
deep pals, in a tank of water large
enough to contain two messes, and the
work Of the factory is all done by men
and boys, it being found too heavy for
women. We noticed that the water
used was not much above the tempera-
ture OF brook water, yet the butter sells
for the highest prices, the last sale net
ting the patrons % cents. The butter
is packed in "return pails," and the
sales are made weekly. We saw no
signs Of ice and We believe none is used.
After examining the butter department.
( ye we're naturally anxious to zee the

judicious .use Of rennet, heat and aeid,
the cheese was made mellow aud less
leathery than skimmed cheese usually
is. The skimming was far more appar-
ent in the taste than in tho texture, but
there is not that fat favor which char.
acterizes "white oak" It is not too
much to say that it is the best skinned
cheese We ever saw, and better than
some We have seen where only one mess
of milk was skinned. The superiori
ty Of its character is indicated by the
last sale which was IL cents in New

Plant Trees.

We heartily concur with the follow
ing appearing under the above caption
in the Western Advance:
Too much attention can hardly be
paid to tree planting. Tree culture is
the one thing which will solve the fuel,
the fruit and the storm problems for the
prairie regions. In from three to five
years every farmer may have a supply
OF fuel grown upon his farm. The pro-
lection which the timber affords will
make fruit growing safe and certain
operation. Besides, the climate will be
much modified by timber. Not only
will the trees serve as wind break,
but they prevent such fierce elect
rical storms as the one which swept over
the newer prairie States in Jan, 1873.
In the early settlement Of Illinois the
severe storms we're known, but the de-.
velopment Of the country, and the
painting Of trees which carry off the
electricity of the air, has put Illinois be-
yond the range Of any such storms tor
the future.
The Western Rural, in IN article up-
on tree planting says:
We do not hesitate to say that, if
each farm in illinois, Iowa, Kansas and
Nebraska should be planted with wind
breaks about the borders, Immediately,
and the new farms planted as soon as
opened, in fifteen or twenty years the
climate would be modified to such de-
gree that many fruits that cannot now
be ripened would be successfully grown.
1t is very certain that the increased
crops Of every kind which would be
gathered would more than pay the cost,
leaving the timber as clear gain when
it became grown. The clothing of
these prairies with timber sufficient to
meet the economic wants of the farmers
is serious problem that, sooner or later,
must be met, and the sooner we go
about it the better. Many sagacious
farmers are earnestly planting, particu-
larly in Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska.
The planting should become universal,
to the extent, at least, of covering at
least one-tenth Of the area with timber
to reach the best result in cultivation.
