THE QUANTITY AND SALE OF
BITTER.


Hon. John Shattuck. Of Chenango
County, n. Y. leading dairyman Of
that county, who has been distinguished
throughout that state for the manufae-
ture Of fancy butter. read a paper re-
Gently before the Farmers Club Of Che
mango County on the Manufacture and
Handling Of Butter" He pointed out
the losses to the dairymen from failure
or neglect of producing 6rst-elass arti-
Gle. A COW that yields two hundred
pounds Of butter that IS sold at five
cents per pound of from the price of
6rst-class article. will make difference
in the receipts Of the former Of ten dol
lars. Now. on twenty cows. the loss Of
ten dollars per COW is two hundred dol
lars. and on fifty cows the loss is five
hundred dollars. This tells the story
very plainly. and points to the reason
why dairying is often Of little or no
profit to the farmer. Mr. Sbattuek
touches another point in regard to pur-
chasing. He urges more careful dis
elimination on the part Of buyers. and
thinks they are to blame for not buying
strictly on It's merits in the country, the
same as in the city. If one mans butter
is worth forty cents and another but
thirty-6ve cents per pound. let the prop
err difference be made. and thus dairymen
will be made to feel the importance of
improving their product He urges also,
the plan of letting butter 20 upon the
market when it is fresh and in its best
condition, putting it into consumption
As it Is wanted and where it is wanted.
And be says truly, that medium grades
are worth more while fresh than they
will be after standing through the season,
while the practice Of sending butter to
market while fresh, or as soon as made,
thereby letting it 60 into consumption,
has tendency to create better margin
for the fall make.

ASHES.

Many farmers have no convenient
place in which to store their ashes, and
consequently they put them in barrels
outside Of doors. Too often those are
left uncovered. or the covers blow of,
leaving the ashes exposed to the rain
and dew. Evidently, they do not real
lie the great value which ashes possess
As fertiliziDg agent If they did they
would never allow them to waste. On
the contrary they would apply them to
their crops If q man has good place
in which to keep them, one in which
they cannot be injured BY rain and in
which there Is no danger from fire, it Is
well enough to let years stock accu-
mulate and then apply them in the
spring. This, however, in case part Of
them are not needed for crops in the
summer Some Of our readers who have
ashes which they think they ought to
dispose Of in order to prevent loss. may
here inquire to what special crops they
should be applied at this season Of the
year. We reply that for onions, ashes
are among the very best Of fertilizers.
For this crop, if applied now. they
should be strewed along the rows. length
wise, and the cultivat0r should then be
run between them. or else they should
be hoed by hand. Applied to Indian
corn, handful to each hill, immediate.
/ ly before rain or just before crop i
hOed, they give good returns They arr
also very good for vines IN the garden
In most seasons the application to grass
land Immediately after the first crop o
hay has been removed, has very I'm
effect and insures q good crop Of rowen
] There are ways enough IN which all th
ashes that are made can be pro6tabl
used on the farm, and they eertainl
ought to be saved and used to the bes
possible advantage.-Y E. Homestead

THE FIRST AND LAST DRAM.


Jesse LOOmis was an only son At
the age Of twelve. he was termed BY his
father his mothers boy. because Of his
resemblance to her. as web as their mu-
tual affection. Being naturally Of
mild disposition. his mind the more ca
silly received the wholesome advice Of
his mother, and his heart was the more
deeply impressed with her religious
thoughts. Through her influence his
conscience had become extremely sensi-
tive. and his power Of discriminating
between right and wrong. acute and cor
rect.
With these prominent characteristics,
Jesse grew up boy OF seventeen years
IL was at this age. when. one afternoon,
Jesse was returning home FROM ride in
the country with a new acquaintance,
somewhat further advanced in years, and
somewhat initiated in few of the vices
Of youth. On the road was 4 tavern in
which liquor was sold When they had
reached it, John, his acquaintance, invlt-
ed Jesse to drink. He was at first so
overwhelmed with the thought Of enter

Jesse, finding his annoying solicitations

with them. finally consented and enter

Of liquor, accepted the same, and poured
from the decantsr into his glass very
small quantity. While Jesse was pour

his hand slightly trembled. and also al
