Professor Hall had tried it but not under
the best conditions. lie got as good re-
suits by this as by his usual manner of
handling. BY this process the milk is set
in deep cans, and entirely submerged in
cold water or an atmosphere made cold
with ice. 1t would seem tie be especially
adapted to small diaries. Mr.. Wattles,
the exhibitor. claimed he could make
butter by this process for less in time and

All those who were last winter Obliged
10 drive their stock TO the frozen brook OF
pond for water in the coolest weather, and
saw the animals curl up and SILVER after
drinking their fill of ice-cold liquid, should
see to it that they are secured against
such experiences the coming winter. We
knew of instances last season of stock be-
ing driven Il mile twice day for water, the
wells having given out, and the labor and
time that were thus consumed would east
ly have dug and cemented half-dozen
ciSterns in the preceding fall. An ordi-
nary barn and dwelling house will save
enough rain water in the fall and winter
ordinarily to meet the requirements of a
large farm, if it could be stored, and all
that is required is the excavation and ce.
mentmg of cistern ten or fifteen feet
square to keep it. The cistern should be
dug SO that conduct pipes may run to il
from the house and barn, and pump pipe
may reach it and lead the water to GOV.
cred Shed or some other protected place
The cementing required for the sides OF
the cistern is only of IN inch thickness, Of
hydraulic cement of the usual strength
and the bottom may be bricked and then
covered with cement, or covered with two
or three inches Of cement without bricks
The cash outlay is covered by few dol
lars The cistern should, of course be
covered with plank and sod, and u trap
door should be provided for access to it fol
the purpose of clearing it out in the spring
The convenience and value of having an
abundant supply of good soft water fol
stock, free from the icy chill of well OF
brook water in the cold weather, is to be
appreciated only after being possessed, bu
in our opinion it is absolutely among the
necessities of the farm. -MaSSUchuSettt
Ploughman.
And there will, no doubt, be those who
will do the same thing this winter, now
wintor has at last come, and while you are
shoveling Il path to get the "critters
down to the brook and cutting the ice ant
threshing your hands to warm them while
the cattle stand shivering, with all foul
feet under them on space of a peck meas
ure. just stop and read this selection, ther
and there; it may do you good,- the
cattle too another winter.

On a recent visit to St. Adams, we spent
4 short time in looking over this establish
ment, and found some things of interest to
he farmers. This concern are the manu-
lacturers of Odds horse powers, saving
machines and threshers, which took the
highest award ut the state fair last fall.
md also at the New England fair at Port
land. While these machines are of the
best material and most thorough work
manship. the great feature in the power is
the patent link or gear for the lags which
is made OF wrought and cast iron combin-
ed, giving Il regular machine cog and the
he strength of Il wrought link, so the gear
will last for years besides running easier
and with less friction. The powers are
seven inches longer and two inches wider
than other powers in common use. Their
lrag saving machine is run without belt
so there is no trouble in wet weather with
slipping belts and the threshers have an
IRON cylinder which is the best thing for
threshing grain clean that can be found.
Their last fall trade cleaned out all their
machines but they are already stocking
them up for next seasons orders. Besides
these specialties the concern do general
foundry business, casting Car wheels,
which require the very best of iron !;
plows, stoves, all sorts of machinery cast
ngs, door rollers, sled shoes, ETC., etc.
These last are cast from "whte iron -"
and are very hard and strong and will run
on snow as easily as steel, and on bare
ground much easier than any other metal
shoe. Farmers in want of castings named
or any work done to order will do will to
get their terms.

President Lewis was followed by Dr.. f.
G. Crafts of Binghamton, who read pa
per upon winter dairying. He described
quite infinitely his own system of winter
care of stock, management of milk and
manufacture of butter. Some of his
methods are quite novel. For instance
milk is kept at IL constant temperature of
seventy deg, and the cream is churned ut
II temperature of seventy-live deg. The
process of churning is completed in five
minutes. and the butter is highly satis fac
tory. None is sold ut lower figure than
fifty cents per pound. Some points in DR..
Crafts practice were severely criticised
by members of the association, but he de-
Tended his methods and claimed that the
results obtained justify his course Re

There is u current paragraph-without
credit, but good enough TO be true to the
effect that Connecticut farmer turned
down rank growth of clover and sowed
winter wheat, which yielded twenty
seven bushels per acre. A neighbor sowed
the same kind of seed in an adjoining
field, not fortified with clover, and har-
vestcd-a fair crop of straw, that contain
ed no grain.

THE SWIVEL PLOUGH.


The modern swivel plough for turning
level land | regard as one of the foremost
implements of this age of valuable inven-
tons for the farmer. BY its use, fields may
be kept as smooth and us level as the nat
ural contour of the land will admit, while
the trampling of the ploughed portions may
be entirely avoided. Other advantages
are its adaptability to ploughing three
cornered or irregular fields, less time
being wasted in Strengthening angles and
curves. The ploughed portion is always
in solid body by itself, and may be ma
nured, cultivated, and planted without in
terlering with further ploughing and cul-
tivation as in round and round work. This
plough has rapidly grown into popular
favor, but not half us rapidly us its merits
deserve. a few of our country agricultu-
raj societies have recently ruled out all the
other plows but the swivel from compe-
tition at their field trials, and other soci-
cites should follow their excellent exam
pie. have with me here, few farm i'm
PIGMENTS, u swivel plough, pulverizino
harrow, and a horse hoe, or cutivator,
with interchangeable parts adapted to a
variety of work.
In bringing these tools to your notice, |
ask you to do me the justice to believe that
L come before you not as IN agent of an
agricultural warehouse, neither as news
paper man trammeled in Judgment by
the conflicting influences brought to bear
by advertising patrons, but simply as a
practical, working former, having enjoyed,
perhaps, unusual facilities for testing new
farm implements, and answering the call
of your secretary to come and talk with
you half hour upon the use of Il few
common farm implements. These, which
| show you, are duplicates of such as |
have chosen for my own use, after II great
number of trials with other patterns.
1t is, therefore, Of the greatest impor-
lance that the plough should run steadily,
and with uniform width and depth of
furrow. Many farmers use too short a
chain between plough and team. With u
long chain msstep of the animals is less
felt, and the plough less liable to leave its
place than with short hitch, and by using
II wheel to govern the depth of furrow, the
plough will run just rs easily with long
as with short hitch, provided the amount
of work done is the same in both cases. A
long yoke or whipple-tree besides being
easier for the team, especially among
rocks. is more necessary when using a
swivel than Landslide plough, as a full
width furrow is more readily obtained
Farmers have sometimes condemned
swivel ploughs for no other reason than
Decouse they used short Jokes and chains.

At the last meeting of the Massachusetts
State Board of Agriculture, Mr.. Cheever,
of the New England Farmer read paper
on Common Farm Implements; their use
and care" Mr.. Cheever is always sound
and practical, and we are glad to give
below something of what he says on
ploughs and ploughing:
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1879-01-09

As a grand curative and restorative agent is not
equaed By any element medicin in the history OF
the healing art Unless the vital spark has fled the
body restoration means of electricity is possible
1t is the last resort of all physicians aud SURGEONS
and has rescued thousands apparently dead, from an
untimely grave, when no other human agency could
have succeeded This is the leading curative element
A., In,tnr
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1879-01-09

Mr.. w. II. Merrill, in his farm columns
of the Golden Rule. gives epigramatic ex-
preston to good many truths worth re-
membering, as for instance: - Nothing is
much more successful than regularity
especially in the care of stock. The man
who wants his own meals on the stroke of
the clock often varies an hour or two in
feeding or watering his stock. Worry is
waste in animals as much as in men; and
Il hungry or discontinued COW is profit
killer" And again: d" it always has a
tendency to sink the murcury about ten
degrees lower for a man to go around
growing at the weather. BY giving his
mind up to it, he can make himself and
everybody around him believe that such
bitter weather, and such dreadful storms,
never were known before. But an extra
pair of mittens, or livelier motion and a
merry whistle, will moderate thinge won
derfully." And once more: You can
save two pounds on the ribs now. cheaper
than you can put one pound on in March.
But don't secure warmth ut the expense of
good air Some farmers have an atmos-
phere in their stables as bad as that in a
common school, And he adds that
ground gypsum scattered on the moist
floor is said TO prevent the pungent odor,
and little opening at the top will let the
foul air out"
We find this in Prairie Fdrmer credited
rs above, but it sounds to us more like
Rev. w, II. II. Murray, who never fails to
interest either in the pulpit Or in the farm
yard.

BALSAM AND PINE.

The healing properties of our own fragrant balsam
and pine and the of the East are too well known
to require description Their grateful, healing, sooth
ing and strengthening properties are known to thou
sands When combin ed in accordance with late and
important discoveries in pharmacy their healing nd
strengthening properties are increased tenfold. In
this respect Plaster is the best in use without the
