How Butter is Tainted.-Winter
and spring butter il often very much
injured IN favor BY allowing COWS to
eat the litter from horse stables. Cows
are not unfrequsssly very fond Of this
litter, though it i impsegssted with
liquid manure from horses, and if al.
lowed, they eat it greedily; and the
effect IL that their milk aud butter
we'll be tained with the taste Of this
kind Of food, in the same way that
the favor ID injured by eating turnips,
but 70 a moro disagreeable degree. II
litter is allowed to be eaten It should
only be given to catt'e not to milk,
aud on no account should miloh COWS
be allowed to consume other than the
sweetest and purest food. Very nic<
butter makers are sometimes at los.
to account for stable taints in butter
especially when extraordinary precau
tions have been taken to have tn,
mixing done in ths most psfect man
ner. and 90 on 10 in al the processes o.
handling the milk until the bntter j,
packed for market StiA The bstte1
has disagreeable taint, aad the eaus,
often comes from allowing the COWS
when turned out 70 water and exercise
to feed about the horse stable. whe,
they consume al tho litter which, OF
account Of its being soaked with liquit
manure, Is cast out Of the stable.

SUBSTITUTE FOR RA1N,-Mr. Raraf
has, to . certain extent, solved the
problem Of artificial irrigation by dis.
covering . method Of doing without
rain. His plan is to apply calcuium
chloride, which has powerful affinity
for moisture, and absorbs q large quan
tity from the atmosphere. From &C.
tual experiments he has found that it
will produce irrigation more efficiently
aud cheaper than any other artificial
method. One application will, he
states, produce abundant moisture for
three days, when the same amount oi
water applied in the ordinary way
would evaporate 10 au hour The 10.
vento, believes that his way is cheap
er than canal irrigation, and that cot
only by it's use TWO blades of grass will
be produced where only cne is now
now but that it will make it possible
to have fields, meadows, grass end
prosperity where now there is nothing
hut sand aud desert waste. II would
be we'll enough, however, to wait till
Mr.. Paraf proves the utility of hi.
idea, before We quit praying for rain.-

Another Consolidate

..4aa s.. Paul Pioneer Press, Of the
18th inst, announced ttat arrangements
had been made for tho consolidation Of
the Pioneer. Press aud Minneapolis
Tribune. The new paper, to be issued
10 few days, would be in octavs brn,
similar in sizs and mske-up to many Of
the Chicago dailies and called the
Dual City Pioneer Press 4 Tribune.
The same management had Also Pur.
chased the Minneapolis Mail ssd
would continue to publish it Is IN eve.
sipg paper il ~ salarsed ard In
proved form. Under the terms Of
consolidation, the interests Of both
cities are to be impartially represented
in the columns Of the consolidated pa.
per. Editorial managers Of tho Trib
uue are coproprietors in the newconcern
and will manage the Minue' polls de-
partment. According to the announce
ment the consolidation was suggested
BY purely business considerations and
has been consummated because it is
believed that the increased profits will
enable the proprietors to publish pa.
per Of the highest standard, second to
none west of the Alleghenies. The
progress Of the arrangements were in
terrupsed for few days by the seis
ure Of the Tribune Office under chat
tie mortgage given by one Of the old
proprietors. The proceedings were
prompted by feeling entertained BY
some of the citizens Of Minneapolis
against what they regard As an atsorp-
tion of their only morning daily paper
BY St. Paul concern. The method
of procedure was 80 entirely = piece
of sharp practice that it only resulted
in preventing the publication Of the
paper for a day or two and in making
some fun for the boys" One Of the
cherished hopes in the movement is.
that It viii facilitate the wooing, in
progress, between tho two cities. The
condition Of feeling indicated by the
mortgage episode shows pretty plainly
that the "Chiefest APOSTLE will need
all his learning aud persuasiveness 10
his efforts to bring about the desired
happy results.
