CREAMERIEs WITH MILK SET AT II 20

| AIhl AMI 1AhDEN.
| .CREAMERIEs WITH MILK SET Ar HOME.
-Crcameries are being established of
q new style, and run on tho plan Of col
| Letting the cream, and arc very fayora-
| bly, received We saw ono working
where the cream FROM about four hun
drcd COWS was collected ut Emmc'ts-
( burg; another is working, on 4 small
scale, at Algona; another at Spencer,
where there is also regular creamery.
This will also collect the cream. There
| is talk Of starting, next spring, perhaps
| Il dozen of these butter factories in tltis
part OF Maryland. The facilities arc sim
ply immense, free range tor stock all
| summer on land uponwhich eastern spc-
culators pay the taxes, corn without end
attweive to fifteen cents per bushcl, on
| which to feed the cows in winter, and
hay in stock at one dollar per ton. AS
we have heretofore shown, this plan of
gathering the cream, instead of the
milk, seems likely to be the plan of the
futuce. The difficulties of getting milk
from any distance In proper condition
for raising cream are almost insur-
mountablo; whilst on this plan the
milk Is set ut home, and the cream tax
eli before any dctcric ration can take
place, and this can be transported many
miles without taking injury. 1t will
be very easy to refrigcratc the cream,
and to handle 1t in ali respects on the
most approved plan. This plan, when
properly worked out in all It's details,
seems likely to revolutionizc butter
making, by d,verting all the milk or
cream from private dairics and concen-
trating 1t in large establishments,
which can always make uniform ar
ticle. And when we attain a proper
l,,,I{ ;,,l,
exclude the air and enable us to trans
port butter to long distances, retaining
all It's fine flavor, we believe there will
be no lack OF u market. We can make
rs ftno butter as any country In the
world; all we lack is a package that
shall enable us to carry this to our Gus
toners In as fine condition as when it
leaves our ercamcricS.
BOTS IN HORSEs.-l have had many
horses and mules opened after death,
most of whom were treated for bots,
and have yet to see the first case where
they had done injury. a majority Of
the cases died from inflammation of
the bowels, caused by drastic and ridi-
culous remedies admins .ercd. have
known the entrails of q chicken forced
down the throat Of a valuable animal
for n remedy. Upon another occasion
a portion OF the horses name and tail
chopped up and administered in urine.
This to an animal owned by a professor
Of chemistry, by the way. A horse has
tho collie, which Is at once pronounced
a case of bots, and the remedies used
kill the horse. In one post moric,a,
which all the experts pronounced bots
before the death of the animal, we
found that the horse died from conges-
ton of the lungs. The bot Is incapa-
bic of penetrating the tomach, as much
so rs a fishing worm is of going through
a granite wall. But granting that he
has the faculty of so doing, the stomach
being puncturcd, the case would be
hopeless in nine cases in ten. If the
bot had the power Of eating Il hole i'm
the horses stomach, he animal would
have disappeared from this part Of the
world long ago. But rs prevention is
better than cure, any on" may avoid in g
bots by passing creased rag over the
the hair of the legs and other parts of the
body.
SOMETHING New IN FENCES. "A cor
respondent says: "A post and rail
fence, better than anything have ever
seen, patented or unpatented, is made
as follows: Set the posts nine feet
apart, OF TWO 1ccC ICES than the length
of the rails used. Bore u ] Il inch hole
through the posts one foot from the
ground, and at right angles with the
direction Of the fence. Bore three holes
above this, nine inches apart, one
above the other, and drive in woodcr
pins in all four holes to project four in.
chcs on each side of the post. Lay
your rails OH these pins, close to the
post OH each side. Bore n "a inch hole
above the top rail, and another one | -
inches below the bottom pin. Take Il
piece of wire ten or eleven feet long,
and pass half its length through the
top rail; cross 1t again under the Sc
cond rail from the top; cross 1t again
under the third rail, and finally cross 1t
under the bottom rail by slipping the
ends Of the wire through the small
hole, and bring them around In front
OF the post and twist them together.
This makes cheap strong fence, that
will turn horses and cattle; but, If
sheep are kept board should be nailed
at the bottom or q fifth rail addcd.'
