From TIC report Of MI, Juhlin Danhlelt,
Superintendent Royal Agricultural Col
lege, Of Stockholm, We condeuse the fol-
lowing items relative % The treatment of
milk By the MaFlar Lake Dairy Company
Of Sweden. The company have various
deposs at which farmers deliver their milk !,
and from which ii Is collected and taken
to the grand central factory. These depots
arc SO arranged that no milk is carried
moro than one and one-half miles, a. il has
been found that greater distance delays
the cooling too long. The milk Is strained
into pals 8 inches in diameter and 20
inches deep; these are set 10 q tank Q feet
long BY 3 feet wide, and ? feet deep; the
cans set upon a slated rack 50 as to per-
nit the water to circulate all around them.
The ice for cooling these tanks, each, one

milk, is broken into small pieces, and the
temperature Of the water as rapidly as pos
slble reduced to thirty-fve or thirty.ninc
degrees in summer, and fifty In winter, aud
kept as nearly as possible at this tempera-
ture. IL is allowed to remain undisturbed
for from eighteen to twenty hours, when
the cream Is removed. The report shows
that the average of the purchased milk
has been one pound Of butter from thirty
one and one-half Of milk, while that pro,
dueed on the farms near the factory has
been one pound from 26 to 30 Of milk
Il is also stated that ii is only considered

soiIing cattIe.

On this subject the Nec Eagiaa7 Eas-
mer hiss the following remarks
On our own farm, sciling has been prac-
ticed quite extensively for more than
twenty-five years. At FIRST, we were not
inclined 10 recommend the practice to
farmers in general. but only to those who
might, like ourselves, be located where
good pastures all the summer long are en-
tirely out Of the question; but, as our
reading and observation has been extended,
We are inclined to believe that partial
soiling, at least, is a practice that might
well be adopted on nearly, or quite all,
dairy farms.
Feeding green food to cattle in their
stalls in summerswas formerly considered
advisable only IN villages Or near cities
where grazing lands were held at prices
too high for ordinary farming purposes,
and those writer's who treated. the subject
through the newspaper press almost inva-
riably spoke disparagiugly Of the soiling
system, except under such circumstances
as we have named, On comparatively
cheap lands, away from tho cities and es.
peeially at the West, il was believed that
the expenses Of selling cows would always
far exceed the advantage which might
accrue. {l7SF gfl8ATffEa
But, within the past few years, since
the dairy interest has assumed such an
important position among the agricultural
industries Of our country, il has been dis
covered by hundreds Of enterprising farm
ers, in all the Northern and Western
States, that feeding cows at the stall dur
ing portions Of the summer season, for the
purpose Of keeping up regular and uni
form flow Of milk, is not. only commen-
dable, but almost an indispensable practice.
During the past year we have seen urgent
appeals from leading Western dairymen to.
the farmers Of Wisconsin, Michigan, Min
nesota and other far Western States, to
raise special forage crops for feeding to
cows in summer, and we no longer feel
difident about nrsibg farmers everywhere
to practice this system Of Summer feeding

The VALuE or Gun CRops FOR 1874.

ducts in the United States for the year
1874 was so, AT obs, 659. The proper

the grass crop is estimated at 81 ,292, 0O0.-

100000; cheese, S5,000,000. The esti-
mated total derived from grass is probably
too large, for the reason that the hay crop,

Cane Cod cranhsrriss.

As for the Cape girls, its pretty sight
to see them picking cranberries. With
rosy cheeks and ripping laughter and
bursts Of song; with shout for the baby
girl who proudly carries up her tiny eapfu
to be measured and written down to hel
credit; with pleasant jokes over the sorting
and barrehng; with kindly emulation and
neighborly helpfulness-the picking goes
on. | wonder il it will be discovered BY
womankind that a sun-bonnet and a calico
dress are as dangerous to the male heart
as the costliest satin and diamonds
The cranberry is ono of the most ms
pOrtant products Of the Cape 1t is grown,
as every body knows, on bogs that have
been drained and redeemed; and thus the
cranberry patch lies usually in a kind Of
bowl, and you look down upon it from the
road. The crimson fruit is concealed be-
meath tangled mass of russell vine; and
the "patch" looks sufficiently commonplace
until it is enlivened by the gay coiors of a
little army Of pickers. Harwich is the
principal seat Of the cranberry culture on
the Cape, and the importance Of this in
dustry may be seen from the fact that this
little town, of about three thousand inhab-
itants, exported in 1873 over eighty thou
oand dollars worth Of enthusiastically
twenty-seven dollars head for every man,
woman, and child in the town. This is
the product of brains applied to agricult-
ure- The Cape has great many fresh
water ponds, and much swamp and bog
land. Twenty five years ago these bogs
were worthless; now they form the most
valuable land on the Cape, Patient labor,
intelligently directed, makes redeemed
swamp bear from two to four hundred dol
lars per acre per annnum; and the cram
berry culture has done much to enrich the
people of Cape Cod, and to afford pleasant
and profitable employment to women and
girls during the picking season. - apg,s
