The butter men are leaving no stone I'm

eleomargarine and the Executive Commit
tee of the National Association for the pre-
vention the Adulteration of Butter has pre-
pared a report on the subject of the manu-
facture of cheese which contains some sig
nifcant and astonishing figures. 1t appears
that the value of the land and stock en-
ployed in furnishing milk, butter, and
cheese in the United States is estimated at
81, 300, 600, 600. The annual production OF
cheese in the United States is estimated al
350,000, 900 pounds, and of the butter

about S350,000, 900, or $50,000,00O more

cotton crop, and only one fifth less than the

Plantation Gates.

Alabama Farm Journal
\ good plantation gate is not a thing OF
economy or utility; it Is a luxury, and yet
how rarely do we see one. They are gener-
ally unwieldy, cumbersome, with swagged
hinges or brken Iatches, hard to open, hard
to shut, and proyocation generally. They
are ordinarily too heavy if made strong
yet good plantation gate is simple in its
construction and easily constructed.
In the frat place you want a good post
for hanging the gate. Take pains TO select
a piece of perfectly sound timber, large
enough to square ten inches, and long
enough to be set at least three feet i'll the
firound. The heart of a lightwood pine is
best. If that cannot be had, char the end
which IS to be set in the ground, and cover
it well with boiling tar. 1t is said to be
better to invert the post that IS to plant
the top end in the ground.
The gate should be ten feet wide to afford
ample room for wagons to pass without
striking the posts, and five or five and a
half feet high. In the construction of the
gate you need no other timber than we'll
seasoned heart pine plank, 1N5 inches,
using the same material for the end pieces
one on each side of the gate to which the
Stats are secured by iron bolts with screw
taps. Brace with slat of the same timber
extending from the top brace to the toe of
the gate SECURING the brace at each inter
section of the Stats with large headed
wrought iron nails, well clinched. On the
opposite side of the gate from that on which
the brace is fastened place an upright piece
in the centre, similarly fastened at each in
tersectior of the Stats. 1t will make the
gate not only look better, but last longer,
if it is painted.
The best hinge is a strap and hook, the
top hook passing entirely throug the post
and fastened with screw tap on the other
side, and the straps extending to the dis
lance of three feet along the cate bars, to
which should they be fasened with iron
bolts, with screw taps The taps of the
hinges and strips should be noticed, and
whenever inclined to get loose, and kept
tightly screwed up. Thus made, gate will
last for years.

Remedy for the Peach Tree Borer

We use a wash of lime, sulpher, soap and
carbolic acid, colored with lamp black. and
red mineral paint. The first wash is APP
piled in May, and the trees are afterwards
washed as they seem to need it. Placing
tarred, oiled or painted paper or pasteboard
about the stem, and other remedies, are ad-
vocated by many, but they are of doubtful
value, all things considered. The peach
grub works in the inner bark mostly, just
at or little above or below the surface of
the ground Its presence is indicated by
gummy exudations, and it may easily be
traced and killed with the point of knife.
