the blood of the COW, the quality and
quantity of the food she eats, the
purity of the water and air she gets.
The quality of the butter is affected
by the condition of the COW. as to
heat or cold. The more butter made
from a COW in a week the better the
quslity. The science Of making fancy
flour is 10 remove the bran from the
coarse wheat meal, then to grind it
into fine -four. The old process of
grinding was TO grind it as fine as it
should be before the bran was re-
moved. The old process of making
butter was TO gather it into body,
then press out the buttermilk, and
work in the salt. The new method of
making butter, is TO remove all the
buttermilk as soon as the grains are
formed, then work the salt and grains
together, warm it, 80 it will press
into a body, and it is ready for mar
ket. The old process is like MASKING
up ripe strawberries TO remove the
hull the new like carefully removing
the hull and leaving the berry whole

warm while churning and finishing it,
an inferior article Is the result. The
contents Of the churn should be kept

Country Road Making.
FROM tI,e Hartford f;o.,an,

From the Hartford cosrant
1t is a matter of universal comment
with travellers that country road
making In the United States is either
lost art or a to.be-acquired science.
Inc average selectman or road agent
OF country town is usually depiora-
biy Ignorant of the first principles of
making a good road. Nothing will
so surely advance the growth and
well-being of town as well-made and
well-kept roads. No part of its do
mestic economy will more certainly
repay the outlay. Nothing more
bespeaks the intelligence and charac-
ter or public spirit of its citizens.
In England and most of its depend
encies the roads are made directly by
the State or under its supervision.
AS a result the contrast between
English roads and those of this
country is much in favor OF the
former. A common and natural
mistake OF most towns in this coun-
try is that an intelligent farmer must
necessarily know how to make a
good road, but the reverse Is the
fact. Road-making is a subject re-
quiring study and a knowledge of the
nature OF soils not often considered
by any but engineers or those TO
whom such knowledge is necessary
adjunct OF their business in life. A
well-made road even in our climate
and with the wide differences In soil
ingredients will last for years, where
as, ordinarily the item OF repairs on
our roads means an entirely changed
thoroughfare, the pitch, watersheds
and general character being more in
the way OF experiment than a scien-
tiiic and practical renovation. The
country road-maker commences by
throwing out the 'big stones" on to
the side of the road, retaining the
smaller ones, when by thoroughly
"bedding' the big stones the best
possible foundation is had, and with
a covering of smaller stones mixed
with gravel, or even with good loan
carefully narrowed and scraped, a
roadbcd is formed which will DEFY
both rains and heavy teams. Gener-
ally the tyro devotes his time to
heaping mp the material in the centre
with such a slope as often tointerfere
with locomotion, and which heap the
first heavy team resolves into deep
ruts, vitiating It's usefulness for any
but similarly heavy team, and for it
only with constantly increasing strain
on the horses. Yankee ingenuity has
invented capital road-making tools
which need butintelligent application
to developing such thoroughfares as
would make them admired i'm place
of being a reproach and shame. Our
country is rich enough to place the
roads in the hands of such govern
ment as will insure their perfection
instead of leaving them TO town
officials without the education or ex-
perience necessary to an accomplish
ment of the object. Most of the
roads east of the Connecticut River
are sandy, and this fact, together with
the indifference or ignorance of those
in charge toward improving their
character, necessarily impedes and
re,ards the natural and growing ten
dency of city people for building and
living in the country.

A Lesson from the Circus.

From The Rural New Yorker.
We don't highly approve of cir
cuses, yet we have no doubt there
may be "good in everything" il we
know how TO get it out Last year a
"Grand Combination" exhibited in a
field which lies sloping to the west,
opposite the window where we now
write. That field was mown two
weeks ago, and those two weeks have
been weeks of drought and heat.
The whole field is dry and brown,
except four parallelograms at equal
distances, each about 25 by 20 feet.
which are of vivid green. These
spots are where the horse-tents OF the
circus stood for about twelve hours.
What 4 marvellous illustration they
are to our mind of the value of man
ure IS q protection against the ef.
fects of drought. The top dressing
given by the 100 horses that stood
under those tents for short half day
made all this difference between a to-
tai arrest of growth under. july
sun and close and thrifty aftermath.
II the drought continues, these
patches may be all the living grass
LEFT In that field next year.

Birds vs.. Insects.

That the DEMOCRAT is an earnest
friend Of birds, because it believes
the birds to be among the best friends
OF the farmer, our readers need not
be told. This good opinion OF our
little feathered co-workers Is based
partly upon our own observations
and partly upon the observations and
statistics of naturalists who devote
their lives TO the study of this and
kindred matters. Prof. Forbes, of
Illinois, gives it as his opinion that
at least two-thirds of THE PooD OF
BIRDS consists of insects, averaging
at the lowest reasonable estimate
twenty insects pes day for each indi-
vidual of this two-thirds, giving a
total for the year (Which is surprising.
ly low OF 1900 per acre, or $50, ,OOO,-
600, 700 for the State. This number
placed one to each square inch of
surface would cover an area of 40
900 acres. In connection with these
figures the following estimates by
Mr.. ii. ID. Minot, one OF the Boston
naturaiists, are interesting. He states
that in Massachusetts, alone there are
annually destroyed not less than
$4,000 partridges, $4,000 woodcock,
$4,000 quail and 5000 snipe, or lO0,-
600 game birds, while in the same
State 100000 wild birds Counting
their eggs) are placed hOrs de combat.
Mr.. Minot places the number of birds
annually destroyed in the United
States al 00,0OO,0OO roughly esti-
mated. According to The American
Naturalist q young mocking bird,
raised from the nest, has been known
to eat 24o red-legged grasshoppers in
a day, equivalent TO, at least, $50 av.
erage insects. In view Of these facts,
do We not, as farmers, do ourselves,
and the community at large, great In
justice when We allow gunners to
roam over our fields, destroying all
the birds they can get within range
Of, and frightening away those they
cannot kill?
