HINTS ON WORKING BUTTER.

Do not work too much nor too fast.
Work slowly until all the salt is thoroughly
and evenly absorbed. Otherwise the butter
will not be of uniform color. Working it
too fast will destroy the grain, and the but
ter becomes salvy and laru-like in its text
ure. Let it stand or put it away in the tray
for t%wenty-tour hours. Then work it
enough to remoye all the buttermilk or
surplus brine so that the butter may be-
come dry or like a piece Of cheese. Mould
into rolls, and set these away for twenty
four hours, or until they become hard and
firm. The cloth should now be put on, so
as to cover one end, while the other is left
open for the stamp. The cloth should be
cut in pieces OF exact size and dipped III
brine, and the butter rolled when the cloth
is dripping wet. Butter should never come
in contact with the bare hand. When in
bulk 1t can be easily handled with a ladle
and a flat paddle.-JonrnaL Of Chemistry.

full lambing season, and the three cases I
have named above are the only %opportuni-
ties I had of trying thec arbolic acid dress
ing in extreme cases, but they were of Il ma
ture to satisfy me that the dressing can be
used with great advantage, and this is also
the opinion of the flock shepherd here, who
is by no means a man to jump at conclu-
sions, especially concerning a remedy of
which he had no previous experience.
The shepherd tells me that he has used
the mixture in several cases where he
thought there might be inflammation of the
uterus arise, and he is strongly of opinion
that it has in some instances prevented the
disease. He considers it of Importance (and
I agree with him) that after q bad ambing,
The external parts of the vagina should be
carefully washed with clean tepid water and
wiped dry before the mixture is applied.
On an off farm there have been two or
three cases Of bad ]ambing, and the carbolic
and oil (strong mixture) was used with the
best effect. The old shepherd on the farm
appeared surprised to see the symptoms Of
straining SO quickly subside.
| would particularly urge upon all who
may try the mixture to use only the very
best carbolic acid, and would even recon-
mend going to the expense of Calyert's,
and to. shake the mixture thoroughly be-
fore using. Both these are important points
to be observed.

STOCK ITEMS.

The milk consumed in London amounts
to nearly 10000 imperial gallons supplied
from the country daily !; which at the aver
age selling price represents avalue of near
ly $4,000 per day, or over ten millions dol
lars yearly.
Three hundred cattle were shipped from
Boston by Mr.. David Thompson of Ciica-
90, on March 30, by the Cunard line, said
to be the first cattle yet shipped by that
line. Mr.. Thompson goes out with the
stock as his own supercargo.
The fine herd of Shorthorns, the proper
ty OF the late w. ii. Richardson, OF Lexing-
ton, KY, was, sold by the administrator,
February %. Twenty females averaged
$S2253.75. and two bulls 1920. The farm,
comprising 440 acres, sold for SOL. 80 per
acre.
1t is estimated by British authorities that
one-halt their stock of sheep is annually
slaughtered for food numbering at least
100000 animals, averaging tifty-six lbs.
per head. This gives an annual supply of
1,000, 000, 900 lbs. of mutton through the
home supply, in addition to which 1000, 900
imported animals give SO, 900 900 Tbs. more.
The Indiana Shorthorn breeders held a
convention in indianapolis two weeks ago.
Several speakers contended that Shorthorns
are higher in quality and quantity OF milk
and butter than any other kind of cattle. 1t
was also urged that a COW should not be
kept fat for breeding and milking. a. S.
Matthsws, of Virginia, sent in an essay TAX
ing ground against in-and-in breeding.

E DAIRY.
CREAEERIES.

The following rules and suggestions are
given by Il large n. Y. Company who own
twenty creameries. They will be useful to
others.
/. Never under any circumstances put a
paiLo milk into your can before stralnlng.
One pail of unstrained milk may spoil a
whole can, and one can of impure milk will
certainly injure all milk or cream with
which it comes in contact. LII the name OF
decency, we beg OF every patron.to be par
ticular about milking and properly strain
ing his milk.
2. Cans containing milk SHOULD never be
kept in a milking barn during the night.
The scent of the stable (however well kept
will injure the milk and spoil the nice tia
yor fresh butter should have. An open
shed a little distance from your barn, your
woodshed or your kitchen, is the only prop
er place for keeping milk over night.
SUGGESTIONS.
1. Insist that your milking be done in a
clearly manner. Too much pains cannot
be taken in this particular. Carelessness
here will entail Il great Joss on the manu-
tacturer and insult the consumer.
8. Bed your cows with sawdust, if pos
sible it will keep your COWS clean and the
stable sweet.
3. Do not under any circumstances,
leave your pals and s%trainer at the barn
over night. Please carrylthem to the house
and insist that they be properly washed
both morning and evening. Much depends
on this.
4. Use only tin pals for milking.
s. The tin %strainer pals are the best for
straining milk. Some dairymen use strainer
pals and also a cloth stretched over the can
thus straining the milk twice. We adj
wise this double straining Of milk. 1t costs
you but little trouble, while it will greatly
add to the value Of the butter and cheese
made from your milk.

In growing cattle, the most popular
breed ought to be that sort capable OF pro-
ducing both good beef and plenty OF good
rich milk, the more of both on the least
teed, the better.
The largest farm in the United States Is
said to belong to Messrs. Miller g Lux III
California, who own 100000 acres. an area
nearly as large as the State of Rhode-ls-
land. There is one section of 100000 acres
about eleven miles wide and sixty long,
well-supplied with farm houses, barns, i'm
proved machinery, etc. These armers own
about $4,000 head of cattle and immense
Numbers of sheep and other stock.

POETRY.
THE END.

The course Of the weariest river
Ends in the great gray sea;
The acorn forever and ever
Strives upward TO the tree.
The rainbow the sky adorning,
Shines promise through the stormi
The glimmer of coming morning
Through midnight gloom will form.
By time all knots are riven,
Complex although they be,
And peace will at last be given,
Dear, both to you and me.
Then though the path may be dreary,
Look onward to the goal:
Though the heart and the head be weary,
Let faith inspire the soul
Sick The right, though the wrong be tempting,
Speak truth at any cost
Vain is all week exempting
When once the gem is lost.
Let strong hand and keeneye be ready
For plain and ambushed foes;
Though earnest and fancy steady
Bear best unto the close.
The heavy clouds may be raining,
But-with evening comes the light;
Through the dark are low winds complaining
Yet the sunr | Is the height.
And love has his hidden treasure
For the patient and the pure;
And time gives his fullest measure
To the workers who endure;
And the word that no law has shaken
Has the future pledge supplied;
For we know that when we ''awaken"
We shall be satisfied"

ing the stomach and bowels, and even the

they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they gripe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

The Kansas City Times gives an ac-
count of horrible tragedy that occur
red at Beaver Creek, Kan, about a
month ago. 1t appears that in 1875 a
young man named Arthur G. Wells
applied to Colonel Merriweather, the
owner of a cattle ranch on Beaver Greek
for the position as cow boy" and Of
fered to do the work for his board
Being quiet, honest looking youth
Wells was allowed to remain in the
"dug-out;" but afterwards, when he
assisted in herding, it was noticed that
he acted strangely, seldom spoke, and
that he frequently wandered off, being
absent two or three days at time. On
one occasion he returned to the neigh
borhood of the ranch with an old man,
who he said was his father, and the two
engaged in purchasing cattle, and herd
ing, The father was not more commun-
icative than his son, but it was noticed
that neither of them wanted for money.
A few weeks ago the herd belonging to
the Wellses was noticed to be scattered
and without a herder, and this fact,
created great deal of comment. On
Sunday, the 10th inst, three men rode
to Wells's camp, in ravine near Bea-
yer Creek, and found number of dead
animals lying about the place. There
were no signs of life about; but on en-
tering the dug out" the men discover
ed the headless body of the elder Wells
in all advanced stage of decomposition
lying near the door, and the son crouch
ed in the bunk. Young Wells sprang
to his feet, clasping closely some object
wrapped in blanket, and attempted to
shoot the men. He was disarmed and
in the struggle the head of his father
rolled from his arms to the floor. 1t
was then seen that the young man had
become lunatlc, and killed his father,
and 1t was with great difficulty that he
was taken into custody. An examina-
ton of the effects in the cave showed
that the old man was l.. A. Wells, of
this city, dealer in leather and hides,
and that the son had been charged with
some crime probably the murder of his
wife. He had fled from New York and
was followed to Kansas by his father
who endeavored to take proper care of
him. Young Wells was taken charge
of by Deputy Sheriff Knowlton of Sher-
man County, Kan, and is now on his
way Eastward, and will be received
by his mother. Young Wells seems to
be unconscious of the crime he commit
ted, and takes no notice of anything.
