Cost of Milk Pans and Coolers.

In recent issue of the FARMER-Feb.
25th | think-was an article from l.. w.
Pitkin of Marsh6eld describing set of
milk coolers such as he uses. He says,
"have them made 81 inches wide by ~ in.
ches long and five deep, ETC., and the coolers
will cost no more than sap pan of the same
size" and the pans will cost as much as the
coolers, A sap pan Of that size will cost
from S.. 90 to 5000 and it will take eight
pans and coolers a of each) for a set they
will cost not less than $4,000 then the
couplings and rubber stOpples for the milk
outlets will cost at least $3.50 more. The
faucets and lead pipe for the water, and the
tin tubes for sour milk $1,000. Call the
painting $500, tables s4O0, work by tinmau
setting them up $500, and l fail to see
where he can save much inasmuch as he can
buy a set Of the patent pans Of that size
eight cowsl with everything furnished fol
$4,000, but if he can tell me | shall be glad
to have him do SO. Il. b. NJ.

There is more than usual need at this sea-
son, Of an occasional feed Of roots for farm
stock. Those animals which have been kept
thus far through the winter on dry feed are
now suffering from the oonstipating effect Of
a diet so different from that which nature
designed for them. They may not be, and
quite likely are not sick or in that condition
which would indicate to casual observer
that they are in especial need Of relaxing
food but they do feel the necessity for such
a change, and the urgeacy increases with the

The Troy, N. Y, Press says "catching frogs
for market is a very lucrative work. They

The New England Homestead lacks faith
in the efficacy Of the analyses of fertilizers
by the Connecticut experiment station to
protect consumers because the dealers can
make good lot early in the season, have it
analysed and procure and publish the ccrtif-
icate of the chemist of its quality, after
which they may supply the market with a
low grade all the season. We do not under
stand that the consumers of fertilizers pro-
pose to submit to any such jugglory as that,
In the first place it is expected that the
superintendent of the experiment station will
himself take little interest in the matter;
and from his we'll known character we have
no doubt that be will 1t may safely be as.

At meeting Of the Franklin harvest club
at northampton, March "a, reported in the
Springfield Republican, the old styles Of
farming, when farmers raised more cattle,
stocked the mountain pastures and fed them.
selves, were commended. Since the evil to-
bacco days came, farmers have been in the
habit of buying all the supplies usually pro-
duced upon the farm, even to butter and eggs
The result is too often extravaganza, mort
cages, bankruptcy and ruin. A change oI
tactics is imperative. The club is to hold a
union meeting with the Ilampden club II

Mr. D. f. Rogers of WheatIand, N. Y,
stated at meeting of the western New
York farmers club that he had not found
the rule of similarity to prevail in raising
potatoes so far as the size is concerned. For
thirty years he had not planted potatoes
large enough for eating or market and his
last potatoes are as large as the first.
Mr.. Ii. Ives of Batavia n. Y, writes to
the American Rural Home that having
raised orchard grass for several years, he
would recommend it for light dry land. lie
finds one bushels ofseed to the acre sufficient
if well put in, as it will thin itself and grow
in hassOcks, any way. This is all contrary
to the experience of the most successful
growers Of orchard grass in New England,
where it is esteemed necessary to give it a
rich, moist soil and thick seeding.

Soiree Dansante.

The dance at Doctor Miller's on
the evening of the 4th, was decidedly
ihe affair of the season. 1t has been
many Il day since we Witnessed a more
recherche, brilliant sociable, attended
as it was, by Osceola's bright and
brilliant Bellies, and by the many
equally sprightly and elegant young
ladies, who sre temporary soJourners
in our midst. The strangers present
were enthusiastic over the resident per-
sonneiie, and not less so, were the Os-
eco ians over the dis,inguc appearance
made by the fair sex from abroad. To
us, as mere iooker on, the t00f ensfm-
be was bewtching; perfect. What
more graceful and beautiful, than the
sylph-hke forms of real flesh and blood
Fairies, whrled by the gentle blafk'
coatJ, through the mazy dance, to the
inspiring sounds of sweet music?
We tender many thanks to our kind
friends, the Doctor, his good matron
and the young ladies of the House, for
the most agreeable evenings entertain
ment of many month.
