Farming on Business Principles.

Colonel Waring, of Ogden Farm, r. H.
has made his promised final report of his
ten years farming" High Farming on Bust
ness Principles and the balance sheet
shows that by thorough undertaking, deep
blowing, selling butter at one dollar pound
and Jersey stock at from two hundred to
one thousand dollars head, he comes out
with net loss of only eighteen thousand
twenty-four dollars and fifty-six cents. To
do this, however, he has to call the "good
will Of this profitable farm worth ten thou
sand dollars, and to refuse to reckon interest
on the cash investment-on the queer ground
that the money was lost when it was spent"
We once knew an old sea captain who
was persuaded to buy stock of goods and
set his two shiftless sons up in trade. Some
time after, friend inquired of the old man
how the boys were getting along. "Oh,"
says he, they are about paying expenses"
"Well," replied his questioner, " If they are
making profits enough to do that, and spend
money as freely as they do, | should think

The use OF instruments OF precision IN
farming increases SLOWLY but they VIII more
and more fnd application III the husbandry
OF the future. Probably not over ten per
cent. OF the diaries OF Vermont yet use the
thermometer to ascertain the temperature
OF milk or cream. The "rule OF thumb,
or of forefinger, is supposed to be sufficient
for this purpose Many dairywoman will
say Then suppose you wouldn't have me
trust my own senses, and she will toss her

there minute or two and then put both
hands iii the middle bowl and tell us whether
the water in 1t was hot or cold. Her look
of bewilderment when she did it will be
long remembered' but she was forever cured
OF an undue reliance on her own senses"
One OF the end bowls held ice-water, the
other water as hot as could be borne and
the middle bowl contained lukewarm water.

outer bowls were put into the middle one

The farmers of the northern Champlain
and Missisquoi valleys all go to st. Adams
with their butter. Some come there from
the south, some from the north, some from
the islands, and some from every easterly
point of the compass. What should we
market day should observe the farmers
teams vending their way to St. Adams, and
who should declare that the fact that they
were driving in so many directions was
positive proof that there was no such place
as st. Adams?
Now what is the difference between such
a man and one who says there are no known
or movable principles of butter making,
because good butter is made from cream
taken from milk cooled to forty degrees,
from milk kept at sixty degrees, and from
milk heated to one hundred and thirty de-
grees or because those who set in large
pans in small pans, in shallow pans and in
deep cans-those who churn only the pure
cream and those who churn all their milk
those who churn sweet and those who churn
sour-those who work the butter only with
paddle or worker, and those who work it
with the hands--may and do all make first
class butter. 1t is perhaps difficult for some
minds to separate and distinguish from this
whirl of apparently contradictory practices
the fact that all, in every case, maintain and
observe certain ground principles, just as the
farmers heading north, SOUTH east or west,
are all bound for, and all arrive at st. Adams.
What those principles are every successful
butter maker must thoroughly know, and
when he knows them he may vary his prac
tice thousand ways, according to circum-
stances, and make good butter every time,
so long as he observes those principles. We
take a single point to illustrate the whole.
The principle in working butter is that it
must be worked only at the right tempera-
ture. Now if a person has cold hands, so as
not to raise the temperature with them in
working, he may work his butter with his
hands without injuring the grain, but not
otherwise Machine working has the adj
vantage OF being independent of personal
peculiarities in this respect. So of deep and
shallow setting. Observe the principles of
keeping the milk fluid while the cream is
rising, of protecting it from drying in
tluences, bad odors and dirt, and you may
set it any way, with equal results. Deep
setting, like Notwithstanding, is only mat

I suppose it is because it comes so seldom

Now children, how am to help myself,

Well, first, you must be prompt in action.

this not once or twice, or seven times, but
seventy times seven, till the habit of prompt.

is pleasing to God, and in this way he helps
those that help themselves. He has made
us so that if one part of the mind acts
speedily, as in true obedience, the rest has to

besides four acres of fodder corn sown July
Sd, which kept twenty-three head of cattle
for seven weeks.
This report is interesting, but its value
would be greatly increased by more de-
tailed statement in regard to each crop, the
number Of acres upon which it was grown,
the methods of manuring, seeding, tillage
and harvesting also how fed, and how
much of the crop was sold for cash, and
how much went into the production of the
butter and animals sold. This is quite i'm
portant in getting correct notion of the
real profits of farming, for it is plainly i'm

then the butter and meat made from them,
