{ DAIR Y.

THERE is no industry in Montana that
has achieved the success attained by our
dairy interest. In all the history of the ter
ritory from its first settlement to the pres
ent day we doubt if there has been so much
as a single failure, and yet the business
is not crowded and the prediction not over
done, but well within the limits OF the con-
sumption. Every year there are q numbe
of new beginners embarking in the business
and every year a number of old operatives
retire. On all hands we find men who
made their start in the business. and on all
hands we find men who are doing q flour
ishing business ready to retire, from the
fact that dairying entails a large amount of
labor on the farmers family, and that
stock-growing, which is almost as remuner-
atiye, is very lucrative; and it is to this
more perhaps than any other cause that the
dairy interests owe the present remunera-
ton.
Summers come and go and there is no
change, and when the study the interests
carefully we find that any material decline
is improbable until there is a change ir. our
live stock interests. There is a considera-
Bile quantity of us.marketable butter and
cheese manufactured every year, it is true,
and a large quantity sold at %ruinously low
figures, but there is seldom enough of a
good merchantable article to meet the de-
mand. The inferior butter crowded on the
market in mid summer is general sold for
old grease and is not remunerative, but the
fault is in the manufacturer. This is una
voidable, as there are so many new begin
ners every year who must learn in the Sc
we're and costly school of experience. TO
those who feel industriously inclined, who
know how to attend a dairy and are willing
to learn, the field is a promising one. The
price for a good article will in all probabili-
ty remain as good for the next five years as
it has been for the five years just past. Such
are the indication of the times at any rale,
and we know of no surer road to fortune for
those OF limited means.

PROPER CARE OF BUTTER.

notice On page 344 that w. wishes to
know the best mode of keeping May and
June butter tor winter use the kind and
size of vessels to pack in, and preparation
to preserve the freshness. This question
involves one of the most essential points in
the dairy business. 1t matters little what
package is used provided the flavor of the
butter can in no way receive harm from
anything in the material used. II wood is.
used, every particle of the woody taste
must be taken out before using for packing.
This being thoroughly done, and while the
bottom is still wet, a thin layer of the purest
dairy salt is spread evenly over the bottom.
Over the salt is spread a muslin cloth wet
in brine. This salt and cloth preparation
keeps the butter from sticking to the bot
tom. If omitted and the butter is placed
directly on the wood the necessary damp
ness in the butter passes off through the
pores OF the wood causing the butter to be-
come dry, and it soon loses its naturally
rich yellow color and its flavor. The first
batch OF butter is placed over the cloth,
carefully and solidly pressed down so as to
leave no cavities of confined air. Over the
butter pour an inch or so in depth of cold
brine latter it has been strained through a
fine cloth as strong as hot water can make
it. and cover tightly. When the next batch
is ready to pack, pour off the brine and
press the butter in solidly as before, and re-
place the brine.
| have another way which is equally as
good, and more handy perhaps. 1t is to
make a round fat sack of thoroughly
bleached muslin, In which is placed and
tightly sewed a quart or two of damp dairy
salt. Drop this over the butter, care being
taken to have the edges press tightly to the
sides so that no mir can reach the butter.
Atsthe packing of each batch the sack is
more readily taken out and returned than
brine, and il answers the same purpose.
The object OF either process Is to keep an
;tir from the butter, as it has already had
enough of that, good or bad. in its travels
from the COW to the package. Fill within
an inch of the top lay a cloth over the but
ter and fill with brine and cover tightly.
AS this May and June butter is intended
Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1879-08-21

for winter use, or for a longer time, it is
necessary to bury it in salt. If only one
package is wanted, make a box Of common
boards, an inch or two wider than the pack
age used, and two or three inches deeper.
At the bottom spread an inch of salt; put
in the package; fill in tightly al around
with common salt and put an inch Or more
on top. Place it in a cool part of the cellar,
and it is ready for Christmas, Easter or any
month in the year. 1t will be better at the
twelfth month than the first.
When the butter is to be used, remove
the cover but not the brine, and do no take
the package out. With the carving knife,
use. If stone jars are used land there is no
objection to them if the glazing is perfect
both outside and in,) follow the same course
as for wooden vessels. AS regards size.
that can make no difference in the preserva-
ton of butter. For my w use, | prefer
stone jars that hold about ten or. fifteen
pounds. These | also bury in salt. ! have
another way which is on the same principle,
but is attended with a little more work.
Make the butter into balls or square blocks,
or in the shape of bricks. Wrap each one
with cloth wet with brine, and pack in any
vessel or box. Between each print or par
Gel are layers OF damp salt, so that each
piece will be evenly imbedded. Over all
place an inch or more of salt and cover
tightly. This burying in salt keeps the but
ter in an even temperature. 1t has two pro-
tections; one from the brine. and one from
the surrounding salt. Tt is thus well pre-
served from electricity, or any impurity
that may be in the surrounding atmosphere.
Provided (as | have said before,) the butter
is all right when being packed, all the natu-
raj flavor and aroma there are in it are re-
tanned, and become ripened and more per-
feet than when first put down. This is my
experience in preparing May and June but
ter for winter use, and for the full year. /
am careful to do it before the white clover
blossoms are sufficiently numerous in the
pasture to cause the butter to become oily.
and lack in solidity and texture.
There may be other butter makers who
have a better way. If so, W., and l too,
would be glad to hear from them, tina this
part of the dairy interest may be better I'M
derstood. Perfection is not reached vet by
any man. But it is our duty in everything
to do 1t the best We can, and help each 9TH

Sailing CHEESE.

In his address before the Iowa Dairymen,
last winter, Mr.. McAdam, an experienced
cheese maker Of New York, said:
"HoW do you SALT" is frequently asked
by cheese makers. But the answer must al
ways be vague as a criterion for compare
son, where makers dip out the curd. Be-
cause one salts the curd very dry, another
very sloppy, two pounds of salt may be too
much in the former and four too little in the
latter case (per thousand pounds of milky.
Therefore no stated rule can be a safe
guide. The Judgment of the maker must
be exerted to salt at the same stage of dry
ness, and quick perceptions are required to
do this accurately. 1t is very essential that
no mistake be made in sailing; for too
much hardens the cheese, making it stiff
and lacking in richness, while too little pro-
notes heaylng, porousness and premature
decay. When the curd has been allowed to
pack tor grinding, there need be no mis-
take in sailing, and | prefer that method.
but others who dip out the curd produce
quite as uniform results. BY either way
the salt must be thoroughly mixed with ev-
cry portion of the curd, else small Jumps
and blisters will arise on the cheese, and al
though they again disappear with age, the
effects will remain and notified spots will
occur where these Jumps have been, from
portions of the curd not having received its
full share of salt. The best quality of salt
obtainable should be used in cheese making.
Very many makers mix the salt imperfect
ly with the curd, and it is a deficit which is
simply the offspring of ~laziness.
CARE OF CHEESE.
In the same address he said
When cheese are finally taken to the dry

loose horses ran ahead, without bride
or halter, and when wanted for a
change were caught by the lasso. The
first day they made 1875 miles. The next
day they made another 1875 miles, pass
ing the formidable mountain of Santa
Barbara, and counting upon it the skel-
etons of some fifty horses, part of near
double that number which persisted in
crossing that mountain on Christmas
Day, 1916. That night they rested
the home of Don Pico. Here the nine
horses from Los Angeles were left, and
eight others taken in their place. They
started at eleven o'clock, rode seventy
miles, halted for the night, and the
fourth day out entered Monterey, at
two o clock in the afternoon. On March
rs, Fremont set out on his return. The
afternoon was already we'll advanced
when they started, and only thirty miles
was done that evening. The second
day out, Col. Fremont's horse carried
him ninety miles without change and
without apparent fatigue. Thirty more
miles were ridden that day on another
horse, and then the night was passed
at Don Pico's home. The next day the
party set out for Los Angeles on the
same horses which they had started out
with, and reached that place at four
o'clock on the afternoon of the goth of
March. The whole distance of 800
miles had been gone over in 1853 hours,
or at the rate of five miles an hour, day
and night. The actual time spent in
the saddle was not more than 100 hours.
On this ride the grass in the road was

were shod.-N. Y. Times.

To Accommodate the Lady.

WRITING while on the railroad, Mr..
Burdette, of the Burlington Hawk-Eyc,
says:
A woman with three bird cages and
little girl has just got on the train.
She arranges the three bird cages on a
seat, and then she and the little girl
stand up in the aisle, and she glares
around upon the ungallant men who
remain glued to their seats and look
dreamily out of the window. 1 bend
my face down to the tablet and write
furiously, for I feel her eyes fastened
upon me. Somehow or other, l am

She thanked me, and l crawled out

soon as the writ of ejectment had been

that she disapproves of my conduct.

New Styles in Jewelry.

THE present display of jewelry COM
prises SO many novelties that it is diff
cult to determine where to begin their
description. The slide PIN or "lace
pin'' is very popular, owing to its con-
worn by fashionables not only to fasten
lace bows and ties, but to attach the
collar and tichu.
One of the most novel of these is 4
bar on which lies a round, open fan.
Through this-gold on gold with silver
tracing-a mouse has nibbled a hole,
is reaching through, and, to ali appear
ances, Interviewing another mouse rs
to the difficulties of his ambitious at
tempt. Another pin has two mice rum
ming over a golden girdle, which. by
the adjustment of glowing topazes of
extreme smallness, and garnets equally
small, looks as though heated, which
would argue certain recklessness. to
say the least, on the part of the mice in
question. Still another pin has upon
it horrid little deaths head, in white
enamel, in which very diminutive
points glow behind the hollow sockets
of the eyes, and, upon examination,
prove to be two lighted cigars of ruby.
This is of French design. A fourth pin
ible wires, which jerks at every motion
of the wearer.
There is certain fascination about
these weird pins that gives one an UNI
accountable desire to possess them.
Pin fifth has two skeletons dressed in
the masquerade dress of Pantalon'
of the ballet, and with their caps set
jauntily crooked over their sightless
eyes.
A beautiful design is bird balancing
itself upon silver-barred fence and
holding in its beak a spray OF coral
berries. Another equally pretty has
two unfurled fans at the end, and in the
center "carbuncle stone" An odd
pin has two heads of negro children in
black enamel, with diamond eyes and
grinning mouths with teeth of ivory.
One Of the most curious and costly,
and most difficult to keep from injury,
owing to its mechanism, is a slide upon
which are set two jeweled eyes, imita-
ting human eyes, shaded with lashes
and eyebrows of enamel, and which
move from side to side by tiny spring
that the motion of the wearer stirs.
The effect is odd, and is that of rolling
rather than simply turning the eye
from side to side, yet the exquisite
beauty of the crystals, colored to repre-
sent the ball, iris and pupil, is tri-
umph of the jewelers. art.
A very handsome pin has a Turks
head, with a superb Oriental turban.
The care Of selection of the tiny, many
hued Jewels that make up the stripes
and aigrette of the turban must have
been toilsome, but the effect is singular
ly good. A brilliant affair is u party

Remarkable Rides.

~AA~~A W.
ter are reported in a recent number of
an Italian military paper. On the morn
ing of Dec. 8, a party of officers. con-
sisting of Captain and eight Lieuten-
ants of the Fifth Regiment of Cavalry,
left Milan. at three o'clock, to ride $40
miles in five days. The horses ridden
were the chargers of the officers, and
were not of any particular breed;
neither had they been trained in any
way for the journey, the object in view
in undertaking the expedition being
simply to ascertain what an ordinary
horse might be expected to achieve in
case of emergency in actual warfare.
Only three officers finished the ride,
and these succeeded in riding the 80
miles in 1G3 hours. Some time before
this, Capt. Selvi, of the Italian Caval-
ry, successfully accomplished the task
