! Butter Makers Experience

DUIIC1 AoAc1 GAQClASuCCs
A correspondent Of the New York
Tribune gives the following account of
his method in butter making:
81 keep sixteen cows; am milking
ten this winter-six new milchs. l
make sixty-three pounds Of butter a
week. The cows are mixture of ma.
tive with Jersey; but should prefer
they be half of each, for the reason
that the milk is just as good, more in
quantity, and the cows more hardy
than all Jersey. Of course, the native
COWS should be the very best. Hay is
given three times day, and one quart
each of cob meal and shorts twice a
day. 1add to this meal two quarts of
skim milk. The cows are supplied
with all the salt they will eat. Water
is given twice a day, Immediately after
eating hay. Bed the cows twice day
thoroughly with fine shavings and saw.
dust, to keep them dry and clean. In
winter card them regularly once a
week.
81 treat my cows with great kind
ness, being very gentle with them, as
such treatment has a great deal to- do
with. a generous flow of milk. During
the mixing season my son favors them
with his best whistling, not because he
ever heard that COWS are partial to
such music, though he thinks 'our
cows relish it much, and expect it
morning and night. Doubtless it has
q soothing effect upon them. My pas
lures are newly cleared, hilly, and
rocky, with western slope, and pret.
ty good; the other older and more lev.

ty acres of moving land, and cut from
twenty to thirty tons of nice English
hay. Ny farm is on a hill !; soil deep,

Why Trees Die.
A practical tree planter says: Il
once called at the store Of merchant
who had a couple of days previous
obtained some trees from the nursery.
There stood the trees with hare roots
exposed to dry wind. When asked
why his trees were not in the ground.
he replied that it had not been conven-
lent to plant them, so he had put them in
a nice cool place where the fresh wind
could have a chance at them, and end
ed with the complacent inquiry as to
whether it was not the best he. could
have done with them. He had no idea
how the wind was evaporating the
moisture from the exposed roots, and
how soon they would become utterly
worthless. just in this same thought-
less manner many q customer from the
nursery exposes, his, trees to a dry
wind or the sun, and then if they fail
to grow he b1ames the narserymail for
it,: Let the purchasers of trees re-
member that the roots belong in the
ground, and must be kept fresh until
they are planted. :, -,
Planting Strawberries In September. "t
scribncr for September; :-,'l!. =.
A reader of Scribner living in New
Jersey writes to knowtif strawberries
planted in the early part of September
will bear a crop of fruit next year. To
this inquiry would say, Yes, under
the following conditions lst, the soil
must be rich, deep, and mellow. I'd,
the plants must be of this years
growth, with healthy roots; and plenty
of them, and must be transplanted in
moist or, damp, weather, and if the
weather continues dry, must be wat.
cred freely few times, always in the
evening when the sun has gone down !;
Sd, the sttawberry.bed must be
mulched before cold weather sets in,
with yard, manure, to be. left on until
spring. With such treatment, q. bed
of Strawberries may be set, out in Sep
tenber that Viii Yield, not quite as as
much fruit as if put out in the spring,
but enough for family use y and: the
berries will be, on the average; Of lar:
ger size than those of the spring plant"

Cetg Rid Of Twitch Grass,

I find the best way to get rid of this
grass is the most thorough way, where
it pays to fight it vigorously, as in a
garden-upon the farm, where it CON-
petes with farm. crops, more pro-
longed fighting may be allowable. But
wherever there is much of hand labor,
we must rid ourselves speedily Of this
grass, and the thorough and efficient
course to this is to make the land
abundantly mellow as deep as the roots
extend, using such implements as will
not break the roots, and then to fork
out the plant, root and blade, or pull
them up by hand. Never break a
twitch grass from the stem. Let the
whole plant come out together, so that
no fragments may be left to grow and
again fill the soil. Go over the land a
few times, and wherever a blade
shows itself, extract the whole plant,
and you conquer, or at least let me say
I conquer when will, and in no other
way so cheaply. The time is best
when the soil is dry, for then it is most
light and mellow and when the sun
shines hot, so that the spread out
plants quickly wither and lose their
life. Then they need not be raked up
and taken off at once, for their life is
gone from them, and neither the damp
day nor a summer shower succeeding,
will set them to growing. But cheap.
ness there is none where twitch grass
is. It is an expensive enemy to battle
with, at best. I will note, however, a
very cheap way of getting the grass
distributed over the farm, and it is the
way other kinds of grass, not desir.
able. can be increased. TO save the
purchase of seed to put upon bare
spots, where the grass seems winter
killed, sweep the barn floor until
enough seed is collected for the pur.
pose. I have not done this but from
the distribution of the grass upon my
farm at the time came to it, can
but believe this economy had been
practiced.. Now think Of it, there
are many things have not done, but
they are not always such happy es.
capes from thunderstorm. Scientific
Farmer.
This obnoxious grass is becoming
plenty in the northwest. If the proper
care is not observed it will be as
troublesome as the wild buckwheat.
If the above is correct we do not see
but what our farmers can master it.

Queer Boston Advertisement.

Advertisements in the Boston News
papers say: "a young and highly ac-
complished lady, possessed of rare per-
sOnal beauty, grace and form, of ire
proachable character, reared in the lap
of luxury, accustomed to affluence but
not to labor, has, by a sudden reverse
of fortune, been reduced to poverty. :"
Under these adverse circumstances,
the announcements go on to say, this
rare young woman has agreed, for the
remuneration of s25, 900. to be pub
liely weighed n.the stage of Music
Hall. Photographs other, yelled, and
wearing the dress in which she is to be
weighed, are offered for sale at dollar
each, and every purchaser may guess
her weight, and the correct estimate to
be rewarded with $4,000. Further
stipulations as follows: "She has
agreed when she steps upon the scales
to be weighed to raise her veil, that all
parties interested may see the lady they
have guessed upon. She has also con-
tracted not to weigh herself, or to be
weighed, until she steps upon the scales
on the stage" 1t is not explained
why, the photographed woman being
yelled, some other person may not be
substituted at the weighing, and the
ingenious manager thus be enabled to
prevent anybody but himselffrOm nam
ing the exact weight.

BOYS, Heed This.

Many persons seem to forget that
character grows; that it is not some.
thing to put on ready-made with wo.
manhood or manhood, but day by day,
with here little and there a little,
growing with the growth, and strength
ing with the strength, until good OF
bad, it becomes a coat of mail. Look
at a mans business, prompt, reliable,
conscientious, yet elear-headed and en-
ergetic. Let US see the way boy Of
ten gets up in the morning, works,
plays or studies, and we will tell you
just what kind of a man he will make.
The boy who is late at meals and late
at school, stands a poor chance of being
prompt man. The boy who neglects
his duties, be they ever so small, and
then excuses himself by saying, II for.
gotl didn't think! - will never be a
reliable man.
