story is to be used for cheese, should
that feature be added at any time as
ito probably will be. Mr.. Marshall
has purchased a four~horse-power en-
CINE Of the Haskins Machine Co, OF
Fitchburgh, Mass, at cost Of 800.
He will use the Jcwett pans, and OK
poets to begin operations about
May goth. The cost Of the enter
prise will be about $1,000.
In quantity and value of dairy pro
ducts compared with size and .popu-
lation Vermont stands second only
to New York among the states, New
York taking the lead III this matter
Of cooperation in butter-making, and
Mr.. Marshall is doing a good thing
for his native State by the introduce
ton Of the system, and we trust he
will achieve that measure of pecuniary
success to which his enterprise cnti-
ties him. We understand he has
given the subject thorough, careful
study, and examined the buildings
and practices of the business in the
most successful creameries of New
York, and also that he has engaged a
gentleman from that State who has a
thorough, practical knowledge Of the
business, to supcrintcnd his establish
mcnt, for whose skill he pays sos
per month and house rent, which
looks as though Mr.. NJ. intended to
make the thing success.
One of the advantages of the CO.
operative plan is found in the market
ing Of the products. 1t is Of an ev-
en- quality, which can be depended
upon by the buyer, and the entire
make of the season is usually con-
tracted for at uniform price, so that
every patron may know just where
he stands and need not fear fluctus-
tons in the market. Again, the ex-
pense Of butter buyers travelling
about the country testing the quality
of the product of different diaries
and spending several hours at each
farmhouse in making the purchase,
will be dispensed with. The product
will 60 direct to the wholesale dealer
without the Intervention of a hundred
and one middlemen
In some of the Western states, but
ter-working factories are being estab-
lished upon new plan. The butter
is churned by the farmers, and, with
out being washed or sailed, is carried
to the factories, where it is bought at
a given price, and the factoryman
washes, works, salts, and markets it
on his own responsibility.
We hail the advent Of all establish
ments of this kind, as tending to that
cooperation which is going to pre-
vail in all branches of agriculture in
the near future, and the promotion OF
which is one of the principal objects

Management Of Horses.

Feed literally, work steadily, and
clean thoroughly, is my motto in the
management Of horses. My great
trouble is to get the horses rubbed
dry and clean before leaving them
for the night. Where horses are
worked six days in the week, thor
bugh grooming is absolutely essen
tial to their health. The more high
ly they are fed the more important it
is to clean them. Most men use the
curry-comb too much, and the whisk
and the brush too little. l do not
myself insist upon it, but l believe it
would pay always to take the whole
harness from the horse when put in
the stables at noon, and rub them
dry, washing the shoulders with cold
water, afterwards thoroughly drying
them with a cloth. Every man and
team OH the farm costs me at least
$3.50 year; and | question if one
farmer in a hundred duly appreciates
how much he loses from having
poor horses, and in not keeping them
in vigorous health, and in condition
to do a maximum days work.

A LITTLE ADVICE TO FARMERS

A LITTLE ADVICE TO FARMERS
Help your wives in every way you
can, trivial though it may seem to
you. For instance: keep an extra
pair of shoes or slippers in the hall
or entry, and always remember to
change your dirty boots before en-
tcring her clean rooms. Then you
may be sure of a smile of welcome,
as no dirt will be left after you for
her to clean up. In the evening
comb your hair as carefully as ever
you did in your counting days, put
on a clean coat or dressing-gown,
and when you take your paper to
read, do not read to yourself and
leave her to lonesome thoughts while
sewing or mending, but remember
that she, too, has been working hard
all day, and is still working. Read
to her whatever interests You, so
that her interests and opinions may
grow with yours, and that she may
comprehend something hesides love
stories, of which too many have read
more than they should. You will
both be happier, and being a farm
er's or mechanics wife will not be
such dreadful tiresome and lonely
life as many girls have every reason
now to think it is.-Science Of Health.

Farmers Movements.

If the farmers are to be RESPONSE
BILE for all the iniquities perpetrated
in these times III their name, they
will 60 down to postcrity with more
infamy than amy other class of peo-
pie. The political rabble which as
sembled in Illinois a few days since
and organized under the name of
"Independent Reform party of Him
OILS" or the like asscmblage which
met at indianapolis the same day as
the "Independent Party" or the still
undcveloped assemblage which is to
meet in Des Moincs this day as the
"Anti-Monopoly Party all claim to
be sailing under the farmers move
ment. As true representative Of
agricultural interests we protest
against this unhallowed use Of our
name. Are the farmers to be held
responsible for the bundle of politi-
cal absurditics ofthc platform OF Ill
inois, or the loosejointed, cvasive,
milk and water declaration Of prin-
ciples Of Indiana? Or is the farm
ers' movement to eliminate in re-
storing to Office the sorc-head politi-
clans of the Republican party, the
broken down hacks of the old Demo
cratic party, or the mushroom politi-
clans which have been warmed into
life by the late ground swell? Are
the farmers to be used as tools and
instruments to effect these unhallow-
ed schemes. If so, then indeed have
we fallen upon evil times. The tick
cts presented in Illinois and Indiana
by these Reform Conventions are
headed by old Democrats, with
enough Of Republicans sprinklcd in
among the smaller offices to gull the
weak and unsuspecting of the Repub-
lican party. And with this showing
with these representatives, Of that
old and corrupt party which the poo
pie have condemned and sent into
private life-with men who have
been guilty Of defalcation Qike the
head Of the ticket in Indiana), this
Reform party now aim to purify the
political atmosphere by ''resolving
that they will select men to fill the
Offices who are honest and capable"
and send forth a ticket, with an
empty platform, composed of men
who have been repudiated by both
political parties heretofore. In no
sense are these farmer movements,
and by no parity of reasoning should
we be held responsible for their
crude, ill-advised, contradictory plat
forms, with q plank in them to suit
any faction, feeling, or sentiment of
a congregation Of hungry sore-heads,
or half-weaned treasury suckers.
Generally these reform tickets are
filled with lean and lank Bourbon
Democrats, with a nobody Republi-
can sandwiched in to catch gulls.
And then to blanch an honest mans
Utmost soul with horror they call it a
farmers movement. Farmer! In thy
name what unhallowed deeds are
committed.-G r. C2arkson, in

crop Of potatoes may then be consid-
cred as double the value Of q fair
crop of wheat. This. places the po-
tato in a fair position as farm prod
uct, but it is rarely SO considered.
Again, as crop in the farmers rota-
ton it has a high value, for there are
but few, if any, crops which leave
the soil in such an excellent condi-
ton for a following crop Of wheat,
and none that we know of following
which crop Of wheat succeeds 50

SMOKED MEAr.-How often we
are disappointed in our hopes of hav-
ing sweet hams during the summer.
After carefully curing, and smoking
and sewing them up in bags and
whitewashing them, we find that
either the fly has commenced a fami-
ly in our hams, or the choice parts
around the bones are tainted, and the
whole spoiled. Now this can be
easily avoided by packing them in
pulverized charcoal. No matter
how hot the weather, or how thick
the flies, ham will keep, when pack
ed SO, for years. The preservative
quality of the charcoal will keep
them till the charcoal decays. But
ter put in clean crooks and surround
ed by pulverized charcoal will never
become rancid. The receipt is sim
ple-try it.-Earmer's journal.
