ST. PAUL, August 2, 1877.
PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS.

PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS.
The weeks business has not been as large
in the aggregate as that of the week before,
although several days have been busy ones.
At the moment trade in produce is rather
quiet. Most of the buyers who depend upon
this market for goods appear to be temporar
lily supplied, and shipments are in cOnse
quence reduced. Values are mostly un-
changed, while stocks of seasonable commOd
tiles are not increasing to any appreciate
extent.
FLOUR-The eastern order trade has yet
hardly recovered from the panic. caused by
the railroad strikes, and regular business is
not fully resumed. A few lots imperatively
ordered to be forwarded forthwith were sent
by way of Duluth, with what success is as yet
unknown. Most of the shipments on regular
orders for consumption will go by rail from
this point. We now quote ordinary to good
xxx 81 .25 for large lots and 81 so for small,
tons with city and local dealers. Some brands
of xxx -four are firmly held and are selling
at 81 10, and in small lots at $500. Inferior
qualities are nominal; with some sales OfXXX

mand Bolted corn meal is quoted at 81 400

are busy in the harvest field, and prices are
entirely nominal. What wheat is now arriv-
ing was bought long ago, at interior stations,
at much better prices than it would now
fetch. The accounts from the new crops are
scarcely SO favorable as last week, but are
cheering, nevertheless. No new depradations
OF grasshoppers are reported, the prayers Of
the righteous having seemingly availed to rid
the State of these vOraciOus pests. But the
hot and dry weather has done some domage,
though nothing really affective. Aconsidera-
BILE amount OF wheat that was not sufficiently
matured has been shrunken and will be off
weight, while a considerable other amount
| will be reduced in quality from No. to No.
2. On the whole, however, the weather of the
week has been favorable to wheat farmers,
and the crop will be large in quantity, and
mainly superb, in quality, if the harvest
weather continues favorable. But farmers
should remember their sad experience of two
years ago, and stack their grain at once, SO as
to keep it out of the way of Jupiter Iluvius

Social Customs In New Ireland.

The more we know of savage life
all over the world, the more certain it
appears that, SO far from behaving
like "children of nature as senti-
mental writers in the last century used
to make out, the lowest savages are
more hampered in every action of their
daily lives by ridiculous and oppressive
regulations than ever was courtier of
the Grand Monarque. The chief end,
indeed, of most of their social arrange
ments seems to be to make life irk-
some TO the strong and prosperous, and
well-nigh intolerable to the weak and
dependent.
The most recently discovered popu-
lation of savages, the cannibals of New
Ireland, in the South Seas, are no ex-
ception to this rule. There is in New
Ireland a custom which requires that
chiefs daughter shall be kept in a
cage within her fathers house until
her introduction into society. The
cage scarcely gives her room to move,
and she cannot leave it during any
part of the day, though she is allowed
to take a stroll with near relatives aft
er llSnIlan
This sounds very bad; but the New
Irish might, were one to animadvert
too strongly on the folly Of this Gus
tom, point out that 50 chiefs daugh-
ters' elsewhere do all they can in the
way of tight wristbands, thin boots
and long and heavy skirts, to cripple
their natural powers of locomotion,
and in more ways than one to hamper
themselves with unnecessary wirework
of their own deyising. Pail Nal Ga

Dairy Cows In Winter.

WHEN our farmers are striving to
produce from their COWS sutiiciency
of good milk and butter for the family
use; and while others are inquiring
how to make our winters profitable,
they may read some suggestions about
feeding dairy stock in winter. 1t is a
question worthy the careful considera-
ton of all our farmers, especially all
who have been ruined and bankrupted
by raising grain in summer, and lying
idle during winter. No real and
general prosperity can come to our
population SO long as there is no prof
liable winter employment.
But will winter dairying pay? 1t
certainly will, if the business be car
ried on with preparation and system.
Without protection, and without the
kindness and care which should
characterize our diaries, there will be
no success either winter or summer.
Exposed to the winter winds and
storms, and fed on dry corn, success
should attend no one. Nor do we be-
lieye the liberal feeding of our great
staple of corn alone will produce such
favorable results as will guarantee
the building up of large and prosper
Gus dairy. A mixed feed is necessary
for the health and for flow of rich
milk; and one of the articles should be
roots, as mangels, carrots, etc. In
the Middle and Eastern States they
estimate the cost of raising turnips
and mangels at from 6 to s cents per
bushel At this rate and buying corn
at from 75c. to S1.00 they compete
with us in butter and cheese for the
mountain markets west of us. Go
into any Of the cities of the mountains
Denver, Cheyenne, Salt Lake and
the mining cities-and Ohio and New
York butter is found at all their
tables.
Mangels can be raised in the West
for one-thir1 what they can on dear
land enriched by commercial fertiliz-
ers. And with corn at twenty-five
cents per bushel, it will richly pay to
raise roots for the winter dairy.
Willard and others who have thor
oughly experimental il different kinds
Of feed say that two bushels of corn
and two of roots, if rightly fed, are
equal in yield of rich milk to four
bushels Of corn. Beside, the COWS,
which are fed on the mixed diet are
healthier and yield richer and more
nutritious milk and butter. But car
rots should be more generally raised
for cows, calyes and horses. 1t il not
merely desirable, but almost a neces-
sity, that our farmers prepare for a
different system of feeding. To this
end there must be good, ample, safe
cellars in connection with our stables
and barns. Not merely by the large
stock dealer, but more especially on
our small and compact farms. Com

cannot be done on grain farm. Corn

Making Butter in Summer.

The first thing requisite to making
good butter is to have good COWS, good
pasture, good water, and salt for the
cows twice week. Next, good man
agement of the milk. Tire milk should
be cooled Immediately after milking,
that it may keep sweet longer and yield
more cream. The pals used in milking
should be of tin, as it is impossible to
cleanse wooden pals so perfectly that
they will not impart some degree Of
acidity to the milk. Nothing receives
taint more easily than milk or cream,
and all bad odors absorbed by the milk
will be retained by the butter. A cool
spring house is best TO keep milk in, OF
n cool cellar (not too damp) having an
decayed vegetables removed. Washing
the walls with lime viii greatly aid ilr
keeping it pure. Wash the vessels used
in warm water, inside and out, and then
scald with boiling water and place in
the sun. The churn, butter bowl and
ladle should be washed and scalded
with equal care. Sunshine and pure
air is all that ought to stand IN the
churn between churning times. The
milk should be skinned as soon as the
cream has risen. If left too long the
surface will become watery, while un-
derneath the cream is rapidly yielding
to the corrosive acid in the milk, and
becomes thin, watery substance, nei-
ther cream nor milk. The best plan
then is to give it to the pigs. a good
pan is to save strippings, say a pint
from each COW, cooling it perfectly be>
fore putting in the cream jar; stir well
each time new is added.
In regard to working butter there is
a great difference Of opinion. Expert
ence has taught us that it should be
worked but once. and then gently. II

are crushed by too much working.

Cheese vs.. Meat.

A writer in the Scientific Farmer
says: at is a little singular that, in
these hard times, when every one is try
ing to economize, that more cheese is
not eaten. So much has been said and
written by chemists about the relative
of cheese and meat that we all must
have some comparison of their value as
food, with the balance always on the
side of cheese, when each is reckoned
at its usual market quotation. Another
argument in favor Of cheese is that it
requires no cooking or other prepara-
tion, but is always ready for food.
Bread is termed the staff of life. Most
properly, it seems to me. we might add
to it the cheese and milk II might be
useful TO confirm what chemistry de-
clares, if some one interested were Tor
try the experiment OF a diet composed
largely of those, in somo Of our chari-
table institutions, reform schools or
poor houses. We have them all around
us to support, and if we could maintain
them equally well, or perhaps better by
some changes tof this nature, would il
not be an object to do so? If our taxes
were little lighter could We not bear il
comfortably? When a poor, unfortu-
nate beggar calls at orr door for food, T
give him bread and cheese, . He MANI
tests many thanks for this, and have
repeatedly heard him remark, Nobody
