For n Dairy Farm.

Drop the old seven years rotation for u
dairy farm, which has been chung to rs Il her
tage from the fathers, aud adopt one of
four years, viz First, corn; second, oats,
potatoes, or such other crOpsas your needs
may require; third, wheat, and fourth, clover,
Which having cut before the heads begin to
turn brown and well cured, you will have
hay that will produce butter that will not have
to be dyed with annatto to make it the real
"gjlt-edged' article.
The spring after YOU have mownyou field
you have mass of. clover roots to pillow
down that will produce an effect ON your corn
and succeeding crops that cannot be bad from
moderate dressing ofcommercial fertilizers
and moreover, the increased acreage ofgrain
will afford abundant straw rs an absorbent
for your yards and stables. Thus you can
carry more stock, save the cost of concentrate
cd fertilizers, do with less fencing and be en-
ablcd to renovatc WORKOUT soils and increase
| the fertility ofcvery acre. So Il veteran dairy
man advises the readers of the Farm J0arHdt

Working and Sailing Butter.

When the butter Comes do not under
take (ns is usually the case) to gather it into
one compact mass by using the dashcr, nor
indeed to gather il at all but taking n COM
mon hair sieve and, after dipping it first in
hot and then in cold watW to prevent the but
ter from sticking to it, hold the same over the
mouth of another vessel, into which turn the
butter milk from the churn, letting the
butter remain in the chum. Then, t;tlling
pailful of water and holding it up rs high as
convenient over the mouth ofthc churn, pour
the water in stream upon the butter in the
churn, and which, by moving the dasher
about little, will completely separate the
clumps of butter. Then by filling up tho
churn with water it will so dilute the little
buttCrmilk remaining rs hardly 10 change
| the color of the water. A single repetition
| of the kind will cxpcl every particle OF the
| buttcmilk, leaving the grain of the butter
| perfectly intact.
| The advantage of gathering butter in this
granular form may be at once seem ms it ena-
| blcs the operator to wash out the butttrmilk
| instead of working il out, and thus destroy
the grain of the butter and render it salvy.-
| The piece of butter may then be taken out,
placed in tray and gently pressed together
with wooden paddle, incorporating there
with at the same time an ounce OF salt
| TO the pound of butter, but taking care, in
doing so, not by too much working to cndan-
| ger the grain of the butter. The buttee may
then be set away until evening, when it
should be again gently worked over, and
resulted with an equal quantity of salt, and
| let stand until the next morning, when it
| may be either made into prints or rolls, as
may be desired -BnltO. Weekly Sun.

HOlleTing is u Big Holm.

They were holding an outdoor ward meet
ing the other night and n speaker had just
commenced to warm up to his work when Il
stranger, with all lis worldly "duds" in an
old shccp-skin ON his back, boots gone, hat
going and dycd-in-thc-wool tramp air about
him, halted on the outskirts Of the crowd
The speech soon caught him, and he began to
applaud. At the end of every sentence he
capped his hands and roarcd like fog-horn
No matter whether the speaker "hit 'cm or
not the stranger never failed To come down
with the applause, and he carried good
share ofthc crowd wthhim. After the speak
ing had finished, and while he was wiping
his heated brow, the tramp approached him
and said:
THAT ere speech was one of the best ever
heard in all my life"
"Ah I'm glad it pleased you"
PLEASED nc! Why, it lifted me right off n

The orator pondcrcd over the matter for ;

With these words, and a very low bow the
rascal opened thedoor and slipped away with
the spoons and silver cream pitcher down
the path toward the gate.
For an instant Carrie stood motonlcss,
then rushing after him, she shrickGd:

child's cries, hut ran rapidly down the path,

The man turned to receive him and defend
himself, but the ram struck him fairly in

For an instant the fellow remained sprawl |

and grooming, and with glance at his enemy
began TO gather up his stolen spoils.
He had completed the task when old Dan,
who had all this time been watching the pro-

shook his long beard, and with another trc- |
mendous "Baa a-aP' dashed at him again,
and over he went second time, his treasures
flying from his hand
And now began strange battle. With
cries of rage and pain, the man recovered his |
feet, and turned upon the ram, kicking and |
striking at him furiously, while Dan, accus |

Butter from Jersey Cows

1t is an established fact that Jersey cows
will produce more butter from given quaint
ty of milk, than any other breed of cows
The Attorney and Jersey cows in the United
States may be said to be the same. A few
years ago they were all, or nearly all, called
Attorneys; but lately they are called Jerseys,
il being claimed that the stock in this coun-
Try is more properly Jersey than Alderney
Both breeds came originally from two islands
in the British Channel, and the two breeds ARE
so nearly alike that they had better all go by
one name fla family need hui one or two
cows, the Jerseys are recommended for Civ
ing very rich milk. They do not givca very
large quantity hut about double the butter
can be madep per quart than from that of other
breeds A five year old cow lately made 800
lbs. of butter in 29l days and although these
cows give but six 10 eight quarts of milk per
day, they average at least one pound of but
| ter day the year round, and the butter is
much superior TO that made from other cows
milk. This breed of cows are dear, n year
ling heifcr being generally worth from SO to
500; and young cows from $125 TO Sl50.-
They are not desirable rs general dairy cows
nor ior any person who sells his milk, il being
too rich to sell for its value.

How Great Enterprises Begin.

Gigantic results often spring from small
beginning. Years ago, n man sailing from
New York 10 Norwich, said TO the captain
of the ship:
81 wish had something To do"
Whercupon the captain, after meditating
Il moment, said:
ado you see those bundles and packages
in the berth and stateroom Their num-
Der is increasing every trip; they are in my
way, and the care and attention have to
rive to them consumes more time then | can
afford Suppose you collect and take charge
of these private packages for a fair com
pensation? think you can easily build up q
paying business"
The man, whose name was Adams took
the hint, and from such beginning originated
the Adams Express Company.

Dnfurl tho old banner, raise it again,
Let IL ripple AMI wave in the coming campaign
Once more let MS gaze on that emblem OF right
We have followed triuinphant,in many light;
IN many II battle in days that ARE gone
This banner has waved over II victory won.
Although IL has often been crushed To tho earth
Like the Phoenix ii rises, renewed in its birth.
Again let it rise in horty'S cause,
And wave DER the rescue uf dOwntroddcn laws.
Beneath its broad folds, with The fife and tho
drum,
We know from the past You will not succumh.
Let us cling to that banncr-it is libCrtys ark,
As the mariner olngs to his tempCst-tOssCd hark
Although 1t is tnCicrod and dusty and worn,
Its motto will live through ages unborn:
LiotTfy, inSticG, lI0teciiOn To al,
As Md ruins o., mankind e1N0Hy JuH
Around the old emblem close up your ranks,
As the Grccians of old in solid phalanX;
Z 'all in the cohorts, let them all concentrate,
And move ON the army of scvcn-hy-cight:
Attack them in flank De GOlycr is there,
The Credit Mobilier is hid in the rear.
Stand idle no longer, strike the first blow
Each ballot you lose is gained by the foe.
Remember one vote, Il mere feather in weight,
Once made Massachusetts n Democrat State;
1t gave Marcus Morton the power to rule
In accord with the teaching of JackSOns old
school.
Let the drum sound the charge; let the old ban
nor wave
