Economy ON the Farm.

The period of low prices through
which farmers have passed during the
past few years have taught many OF us
valuable lessons in economy. 1t has
shown us more clearly than we have
ever seen before the importance OF
practicing careful economy in all the
affairs of life. We mention few points
where some farmers may practice
greater economy in their management
and thereby save what otherwise might
suffer loss or go to waste altogether.
One of the most common wastes about
a farm is in relation to the various
homemade farm fertilizers. Badly
constructed and improperly-managed
barnyards are source Of great waste
to fertilizers on some farms. Manure
heaps that have been allowed to heat
until they have become seriously inJur-
ed by being fire fanged'' are quite
common. Great waste in fertilizing
materials may be traced to our pig pens
and hen roots from which might be
gathered with the right care and man
agement large quantities of valuable
manure that would cause our fields to
yield better crops and hence more
profit. A compost heap should be made
in the vicinity of every house and gar
den. 1t should consist of large box.
holding fifty or more bushels, made with
out a bottom. This box should be q
receptacle for grass and weeds taken
from garden and all of the large class
| of substances which are usually thrown
from back doors and door yards. In
this way a good load of valuable ma
nure may be collected each year which
would otherwise be worse than wasted
for when kitchen slops, etc are thrown
carelessly about they must needs pol

Keeping CelerJ.

From time to time we have printed
our mode and the modes OF others for
keeping and blanching celery through
the winter. We have covered 1t care
fully in the rows in which it grew, and
found it to answer very well, when ap-
piled to that which is intended to be first
used. We have found it to answer bet
ter to take it up and set in rows close
together, leaving only space enough to
prevent the plants from touching. and
packing the earth firmly around them.
leaving only an inch or two OF the tops
sticking out, then covering either with
boards, placed so that the water cannot
penetrate, or with cornstalks thickly
bent over and fastened. Drains should
be dug around the celery to carry of
the water. We have kept it in this way
until May and well-blanched.
1t is well known that stalks OF celery
stood in spring water under shed.
where it is not likely to be frozen, will
become perfectly white and tender.
But it is only few persons who can
have the spring water at hand Tor this
use.
We have known celery to be perfect
ly blanched and preserved by packing
the roots in wet earth and keeping
them in a cellar. Large boxes were
obtained and few inches thick OF
earth placed on the bottom and made
as wet as possible. The plants were
then packed upright. side by side as
close as they could stand, until the
boxes were full. The upper leaves
were of course exposed, and attempt.
ing to grow little by the encourage
ment given to the roots by the wei
earth. caused growth enough to blancf

this over keeping it in the cellar, a.

Winter Dairying.

THE better class of livers in the
United States are beginning to de-
mand good fresh butter instead of
the saited article which has hith-
erto been eaten through the winter
months. In consequence those farmers
who try to please the palate by produc-
ing a sweet, nutty-tasting commodity,
will reap their reward by receiving a
remunerating price. Setting aside fan
CIV prices it is certain that a good fair
rate will always be paid for butter which
can be depended upon to come to hand
weekly in uniform quality. The best
butter-maker in the United States fsSls
unless the cows are fed properly, there
fore, there must be the right sort OF
food. The hay should be made from
grass cut when in bloom, and this alone
will do, but some corn meal and wheat
bran will increase the cream and add
to the rich flavor of the butter. Also
the use of carrots will cause greater
flow of milk and there will be then the
peculiarly fresh taste which character

stabling, cleanliness and exercise in

should be raised, which can be done on
the skinned milk.

Farmers Daughters.

Here is fact that may interest the
young girls who live in farm-houses.
The London Pail Mall Gazette says:
England can no longer furnish her own
butter. The cheaper kinds come from
America, for Americans, even with
their rich pastures and improved
stock of COWS cannot make the
best grade. The high-priced grades
come to Southampton from Nor
mandy and Brittany. And why is
good butter not made in Englandp Be-
cause the dairy-maid with her pail is
thing of poetry and the past. Because
farmers wives and daughters now think
dairy-work degradation.
The Gazette proceeds to state the enor-
nous income which dairy farming
carried on by women has brought to
France; the daughter of a dairy farmer
often receiving a dover of twenty
thousand dollars on her wedding day.
Much of it is the product of her own
work, skill and management.
We might go on with the inquiry
Why cannot Americans make the best
grade of butterP Because the business
has gone out of the hands of the farm
er's wife and daughter, and is done by
machinery. Near Philadelphia, in the
rich hill farms, there are q few old Quaker
danes and their daughters who are not
ashamed of this old-time craft; whose
yellow fragrant pats of butter, wrap
ped in cool leaves, and packed in tubs
delicately clean, are known all over the
country and command 81 or $3.50 pei
| pound in any city market.
'sBut," say the farmers, ''are ouI
daughters, who have received q modern
education, to go back to the old drudgery
| of their grandmothersP"
We question whether the modern ed
ucation has not made them despise tot
much the old drudgery? In the majority
of cases, these daughters are still com
PEELED to work for their living. They
crowd into the cities, as poor artists
china decorators, clerks, shop-girls, o.
they besiege editors with mawkisl
verses. In this slighted dairy-work i

Fall Cheese.

The quantity of fine fall-made
cheese in this country is not large.
If America is to keep up and in
crease the quantity of cheese exported
to Europe, the quality must be good.
"Skims" will not ill the bill. If any
temporary pecuniary advantage is
gained by making skim-cheese it is
more balanced in the long run by sub
seauent losses. The explanation for
the inferior quality of so large per-
centage of the fall make of cheese is
easy. Cupidity is at the bottom of 1t.
As soon as the hot weather is over.
many factories resort to skimming. A
factory which has made q reputation for
producing cheese of fine quality, spoils
its reputation and ruins its prospects
by skimming. and at the very time, too.
when the best opportunity is presented
to maintain and enhance it. 1t is well
to remember that the September and
October cheeses are those that are re-
ouired to carry over for spring use. Ii
these goods are "full cream" they are
rich, solid and desirable. The factory
producing them is more than likely to
get an order for goods from abroad the
following season. But such will hardly
be the case if skimming is resorted to.
An experienced dairyman, OF Rome,
N. Y, says, on this subject: Makers
seldom fully realize the full effects oi
skimming. 1t alters the condition Of
the milk which they have to work. re
tarding the desired change, and this. in
connection with the cold weather, de
lays the development of acid. The
maker tires of waiting and watching,
and dips the curd too soon, the result
being a poor, open-textured cheese

The Cadet Whitaker Case.

A West Point telegram OF April 10
says: Supt. Gaylor, of the New York post Of
fee, expert in writing, created sensation this
morning in the inquiry into the case of Cadet
Whitaker by his testimony. He had been
given several days ago 257 pieces of paper
from the 257 cadets, on which the cadets had
written sentences containing words in the
note of warning found in Whittaker's room
Before handing the papers to Gaylor last
week the recorder tore the signature of the
cadet from each and numbered the paper and
detached signature alike, he himself keeping
the signatures. When asked what was the re.
suit Of his comparisons, Gaylor testified, in
substance he bad found no similarity between
any of them and the note of warning, except
in the case Of the paper numbered s. He had
been given several other papers written by
the person that wrote the sentence numbered
8, and in each instance the writing strongly
resembled that of the note of warning. Gay.
lor noted the resemblances in letters ID" and
"F'' in the word fined, letter Up in April, and

not; it gives stimulus. You sit down

ening, but is not nourishing.
A man once said to friend of
mine: You are fighting whisky.
Whisky has done good deal of good.
Whisky has saved great many lives"
What do you mean ?" said he.
why, whisky has saved great
many lives"
You remind me-" said my friend,
"of Q boy who was told to write an es.
say about pin, and, in his boyish way,
he said, A pin is very queer sort Of
thing. It has round head and
sharp point, and If you stick them into
you, they hurt, and women use them
for cuffs and collars, and men use them
when their buttons are of. If you
swallow them, they kill you. For s
cents you get packet Of them, and
they have saved thousands of lives

Fatal Giant Powder Explosion.

works, district of Berkeley across the bay, ex-
ploded on the afternoon Of Saturday, April II,
killing twelve whites and twelve or fifteen
Cinnamon. This is tho third explosion the
company has sustained attended with loss Of
life. The explosion occurred in the picking
room, and all at work there were killed. About
5000 pounds were in the room. All the VIC
Tins were blown to atoms. There were six
houses, inside the works, all blown to sliyers,
but the werkmen in them escaped with the
exception Of one man in the magazine, no
trace Of whom has been found. Outside Of
the works are six houses, including the board
