Setting Milk for Cream.

1t is not to be wondered at that
the average dairyman of our State is
puzzled to know what to do for the
best. Professor Wilkinson tells him
plainly tina. nothing but shallow pans
and sub-earth ducts will do; while
Prof Hardin is equally certain that
deep pans, Go inches), sunk to the
rim in water, at temperature Of so
degrees, alone will insure the largest
yield of the best quality of butter;
and now both of these are overtop-
ped by the new Cooley system,
which proposes to enclose the milk
in deep, narrow can, with water
tight lid, and sink it under water,
which is carefully kept at 4 low tenn
perature by the use of ice.
Our own experiments satisfy us
that both extremes are right, provi-
vided certain rules, as unalterable as
those of the Modes and Persians, are
observed. AT temperature above
60 degrees, deep cans will not do;
the milk will usually sour before all
the cream reaches the surface. When
this temperature is unavoidable shall
low, broad pans will give the best
results. When cold water is album
dant and the means OF keeping it at
so degrees or lower are at hand, it
will be found that cans, twenty inch
es deep, and eight or nine in diane
ter, will save much labor, and at the
same time make quite as much and
better butter. These dairymen
whose situation is covered by the
first case should be cautious in the
use of deep cans. 1t is no doubt for
the want of a proper observance of
these simple rules that we have now
a conflict of sentiment as to the COM
parative merits of deep and shallow
setting.-Phiia. Times.

Why Nye Refused tho Arabian Horse

The following anecdote of the
late Senator Nye is told by the
Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise.
ale was telling us incidents of a
journey to Europe, from which he
had then just returned. Among the
rest he said the Sultan of Turkey
ordered in his honor, as a Senator Of
the United States, a grand review of
the army in Constantinople, and the
Grand Vizier mounted him upon a
steed which he described rs magnifi-
cent. Said Nye, 'he was pure
Arabian. He had coat like velvet;
he felt like myriad of steel springs
beneath man; his eye was between
a lions and woman's, with all the
courage of the one and all the hui
man gentleness and beauty of the
other blended, he knew l was an old
man, and was as tender of me as a
child. When l dismounted, I could
not refrain from expressing to the
Grand Vizier my admiration for the
incompatible creature. He heard
me through an interpreter, and then,
bowling low, begged me to accept
the horse as a mark of the profound
regard which the Sultan entertained
for me- Did you accept him, SEN
ator?' we asked. A peculiar look
came into the old mans eye as he
replied: 4 made rapid calculation
and saw that had not enough mon
ey, and could send to no place for
enough money, to pay the freight on
the animal to New York, so L took
high ground. l bowed low IN re-
turn to the Grand Vizicr, and babe
the interpreter explain to him that
while touched to tho heart by this
appreciation and generosity of the
Sultan, 1t was, l was sorry to say,
against the laws of my country for a
Senator of the United States to ac-
cept Il present from any foreign
Prince, potcntate or Power"

Spring Work for Lawn Makers.

1t is claimed by those who prefer
to plant deciduous trees in the fall
that the roots become thoroughly
settled in the ground, and that new
roots are formed before severe
weather, which induce an early and
more vigorous growth in the spring.
The first may be granted. 1t is al
so true that work done in the fall
leaves so much the less to do in the
spring, when work of all kinds is
pressing and multifarious. But the
roots cease to grow when, IN the fall,
the leaves have performed their of.
fees and become inactive. They
are at rest, as well as the buds and
stems. Is there any reason why
transplanting should force a second
growth of the roots, or that, if it
could, the second growth would
have any other effect than that OF
weakening the plant! Does not
transplanting rather suppress any
disposition to form roots after the
serial parts have ceased growth?
Everybody knows the adverse effect
of late growths Of the stem. The
wood SO formed has no time to ripen,
and the buds, instead of remaining
intact for the next springs growth,
are killed by the vicissitudes of win
ter. 1t is the same with late roots.
If formed after transplanting, their
delicate tissues and fibrils are killed
by intense cold or extremes of temp
erature, and the plant is deprived OF
just as much vitality as was required
to produce them.
1t is often said that trees, ETC.,
transplanted in the spring are liable
to be killed by subsequent drought
as if those transplanted in the fall
were exempt from liability. We
have not found it so in our own ex-
perience, and our best advice is to
transplant in spring, and to trans
Plant early for the climate of New
York and north of it.
AS regards Evergreens, many are
of the opinion that it is not best to
transplant early in the spring. Dit
ferent causes may operate in differ
ent localities to give value to his
opinion. We have, however, tried
early and late spring-summcr and
fall, with results that make us en-
phatically prefer the first to any Of
the others.-RuraI Neac Yorker.
Cracks across cows teats intiict
pain on the animal, which thus be-
comes troublesome to milk. The
easiest mode Of milking them, while
under this complaint, is nievliug,
while stripping aggravates the sores.
When care is used not to brulse the
skin of the teats, with long finger
nails, or pinch the substance of the
teats, but to keep them clean and
dry, this evil is not SO likely to oc-
cur. The following simple and eff
cacious ointment will afford relief to
cracked or chapped teats: Melt and
burn some fresh butter in a frying
pan, and mix with it halt It's quantity
of tar. When it is hot pour into an
earthern vessel, and use it when cold.
The ointment is washed off with
warm water, and the udder and teats
dried with soft linen cloth, before
milking commences; they are wash
ed with warm water after milking,
again dried with the soft linen cloth,
and the ointment again applied.

CATTLE FooD.-Expcriencc teach
es us that cattle thrive best on mix
ed diet. All hay or all grain will
produce less beef than hay and grain.
The animal structure Of the OK also
demands bulk in food, as well as
richness; the feeding of concentrate
ed food being only profitable so far
as the animal assimilates it-beyond
that of simply increasing the manure
heap, at Il cost tar beyond it's value.
The OK has approximately eleven
and one-half pounds of stomach with
only two and one-half pounds of in
testines, to each one hundred pounds
of live weight; the sheep have less
stomach and more intestlnes, giving
a smaller per centage of digestive
apparatus; while the pig for every
one hundred pounds of his live
weight has only one and one-third
pounds of stomach to six pounds of
intestines. A steer would thrive on
bulk of straw, with little oat
meal, that would shrink sheep and
starve pig. Pork can be produ ced
from clear cornmeal, while mutton
requires a greater variety of food,
and beef cattle would become cloyed
and diseased with it's exclusive use.
A thoughtful attention to these
broad facts will change much in jul
dicious feeding into cheaper mea,
observation-disclosures.
