Feeding Sour Milk to Cows.

SOME maintain that feeding sour milk
to cows affects their butter injuriously;
but we never made sweeter or nicer
butter than we have been turning out
this spring when feeding sour milk to
Last spring we did not feed it; but
gave each sixteen pounds of hay and
three quarts of oats and corn-cob
taken out--ground together, and then
the average yield of milk per cow
was from thirteen to fourteen pounds
per day. This spring we have been
feeding the same amount of hay, two
quarts of oats and corn ground togeth-
er- cob again taken out-two quarts
of wheat bran and the sour milk from
the herd, and the average yield of each
per day has been from twenty one TO
twenty-five pounds of milk-an in
crease of over one-third. The cows
are the same as last spring, with the
addition of two others-one q COW we
bought and which is thought no better
than the rest, and the other two-year-
old heifer which gives from twenty five
to twenty-seyen pounds of milk per day
now. don't expect the feeding Of
sour milk will make SO much difference
during the latter part of May, June and
July, but, after that, 1 expect as great
a difference as now. 1t is estimated
that by using sour milk in this way,
one COW more can be kept for every ten
in the herd; but on this point 1 cannot
speak definitely. We take our milk to
a creamery, so there is no guess-work
with regard 10 the weight.-G. L.
Nichols, IN Rural NeW Yorker.

New Manufact lures in the South.

In this one industry-or rather in the
multifarious industries grown from one
starting point, the making of cotton
seed oil-the South has developed man
ufacturing and commercial interests
that in one decade has doubled the capi-
tai invested in cotton. The capabilities
of the cotton seed are very plural. 1t
supplies the market with any and all
oils, from the delicate olive with its
faint green tinge, to the rich and heavy
product of the castor bean. Oleomar-
garine makers are buying crude quail
ty, which they refine into creamy yell
low butter, fresh tasting as the famous
"golden sheaf' of Chester County.
After all these good and appetizing
things are made, the seed cake is
shipped to England and Devon cattle
wax fat on its fibrous grease.
The changes now talked of by the
sugar makers are no less marvellous.
The leaves and crushed cane are to be
made into paper. As a low grade wrap
ping paper it is already a success, but
it is to supersede rice paper in cigarette
making and linen, in the parchment,
envelopes and letter paper, SO valuable
where tenacity and Gghtness are requi-
site. In fact the possibilities claimed
by the sugar makers, are only rivaled
by the Arabian Nights marvels already
realized by the genii of cotton.-Cin-
cirsnati Gazette.

Butter Packages.

JUST now, when a large quantity of
butter is being put down for sale in the
fall, it is worth while to consider a lit
tie about packages. In some dairies
the old tubs of last year which have
been kept in dark cellars where the at
mosphere is full Of mildew and mold
spores, or in outhouses where rubbish
or various kinds is stored, will be over
hauled, scrubbed up and brought again
into requisition. 1t ought to be need
less to say that it is ruinous to good but
ter to pack it into such receptacles; and
that many a well deserved reputation
is lost by the commission of such mis-
taken economy. If every old butter
package were consigned to the wood
pile or kept for soft-soap tubs, there
would be considerably less grease
butter in the market to offend
sumers. For tainted package
can never be restored to purity. The
pores of the wood are filled with infec-
tious matter, with germs of decay,
which need only the fresh soil of a new
packing, to spread and flourish in it,
with amazing luxuriance. 1t is like
the new wine and the new bottles of
the parable. No man putteth new but
ter into old tubs, else the butter is
ruined, but put new butter into new
packages and both are preserved. 1t
cannot be too forcibly impressed upon
dairymen that the package makes or
mars the butter. A new, handsome,
perfectly sweet package may cost one
cent pound for the butter it contains.
The dairyman can well afford this ex-
pense for in reality the package will
cost him nothing as it will add all its
cost to the value of the butter.
Just here suggestion may be made
to the manufacturers of butter pack
ages. 1t is this, all the timber used for
this purpose should be steamed, if pos
sible, under pressure. This fixes the
albumen of the woody fiber and rem
ders it thereafter insoluble. 1t removes
the peculiar odors of some timber; it
Gissolves the sap and centralizes the
acids contained in it, and in other ways
greatly improves the quality of the
package. 1t also prevents the swelling
and shrinking to great extent when
the pals or tubs are in use, and this in
itself is worth considering. Finally,
we present this matter to dairymen as
one that is worth thinking about and to
the trade as one that may very well be
made a matter on which advice may lie
given to their friends, both as regards
the quality and the uniformity in size
and shape of the packages used by them.

Replacing a Horses Shoe.

In the busy season on the farm there
is often much time lost and work de-
layed by frequent journeys to the black
smith shop. Many of these visits are
unavoidable; but when made for the
simple resetting of single horseshoe,
it is expensive. A job like the re-
placing Of thrown" shoe should be
done at home. 1t is not difficult one,
and the needed tools are few and mex
pensive. A light hammer, a pair of
pinoers, a punch, all of which every
farmers work shop should contain for
other uses, and q few horseshoe nails
are all that is necessary. 1t might be
we'll to add to this blacksmith's plane
to smooth down the face of the foot, but
for the simple resetting of the shoe this
is not required. If the shoe is only
loose, it may be tightened by driving
up the old nails and clinching them
anew, but If quite loose it had better be
taken of, which can be done with the
pincers, care being taken to not break
the hoof. All the old nails should be
removed by using the punch. The
most difficult matter is the driving of
the new nails, which must be so
pointed" at the end that they may
not go into the "quick," but come to
the upper surface of the hoof an inch
or so above the sole. This can be
learned by watching blacksmith, and
if he is a good-natured one he will will
ingly show how it is done. A little
practice will render it an easy matter
to drive the nails in the proper manner.
As the nails are driven through, they
should be turned down, and afterwards
nipped off with the pincers and curved
in to hold firmly. The work of reset
ting q shoe can be quickly done, and at
q time when no loss is incurred. The
morning before work, or the hour
of rest at noon, may be SO employed,
and q journey saved, of miles it may be,
to the nearest blacksmith. The shoe may
come of at time when replacing it at
once will save the labor Of the team
and hands for a half day or more, in
which case the ability to reset the shoe
is q very labor-saving accomplishment,
and should be possessed by every eco
nomic and energetic farmer throughout
the country.-American Agrtculturist.

A Word TO GENTRY Girls.

There are a large number of the
young girls who expect in few years
70 earn, or help to earn, their own iv-
ing. Our magazines and journals are
full of good advice to boys with regard
to the trade or profession they shall
choose, but the girls are left almost un-
guided. One word of counsel, there
fore, cannot be amiss. 1t is, Keep out
of the cities. 1t is true there is a wider
range of occupations open to women in
the cities than in villages, but it is also
true that they are all now enormously
overcrowded.
A few facts will outweigh pages of
argument here. The first occupation to
which educated women turn is, oddly
enough, authorship. Every woman who
can write a lovely letter believes herself
able to earn comfortable living by her
pen. One New York magazine stated
lately that it had over three thousand
accepted manuscripts on hand; another
mad two thousand four hundred. Reck-
on the manuscripts rejected in addition
70 these, if you would find the chance
of success for you as an author. Next
comes teaching. The positions in the
public schools in the large cities are
given to graduates of the high schools,
and the giving depends largely on the
political influence. An unknown stran-
ger has absolutely no chance. Situa-
lions as shop-girls are eagerly sought
for by country girls. Most of these
places are held by women who live at
home and are willing to work for three
Or four dollars per week, which they
spend in dress alone. Not more than
six or seven dollars per week is paid in
New York or Philadelphia stores, ex-
cept in a very few instances, to women
who, through long training, have be-
come experts in silk. lace, etc. Out of
this the shop-girl, without other sup
port, must clothe, board and lodge her
self. 1t is done, necessarily, in a
wretched attic. Seamstresses receive
one dollar per dozen for making tucked
and fiounced petticoats, one dollar and
twenty cents for fine chemise, and pay
out of this the weekly rent of one dollar
and fifty cents for the machine. Ninety
cents per dozen is paid for crocheting
infants caps.
Let the country girl, spining to "see
life" in the city, count these pittances,
and add on the other hand the rates of
food and lodging, treble those to which
she is accustomed, and she will under
StanO why SO many young Siris give up
the hopeless struggle and sink into
death. or even into depths lower than
the grave. There are very few villages
,r farm-neighborhoods in the country
where an energetic woman with strong
brain or skilled hands cannot earn her
living comfortably among the people
who know her, by teaching, sewing, or
by domestic labor; provided she lays
aside false pride and remembers that
work is only disgraceful to a woman
when it makes her unwomanly.-Yonth's $

Level Culture.

At the beginning of farm life, in or.
der to learn the most improved meth
DDS, employed first-class farmer and
gardener, fresh from England. He
persisted in a mode of cultivation pre-
cisely the reverse of what l had been
used to seeing-allowing the mangels
and sugar beets, the corn, potatoes,
pease, beans, cucumbers, melons, to-
matoes. cabbage, etc., to 60 without
any hilling up. The mange!s and sugar
beets stood high above the ground, the
bulbous parts exposed to the sun. many
of the mangles falling over and grow
ing crooked The part of the cucum-
bers above ground, which l insisted,
as rather q root than stem. should be
surrounded by earth, was left entirely
exposed to the sun. thought the sun
would parch the roots and they would
break or be injured when the stem
should fall from the upright to hori-
zontal position.
The Englishman would have his way,
but agreed should treat some of each
sort of plants in my own way. So q
few of all sorts were hilled up, and full
ly as well worked in other respects as
his, during the season. For q few
weeks mine grew as well as his, and
the cucumbers, pease, etc., bloomed as
early. After one gathering of cucum-
bers, pease, ETC.. and the dry season
set in, mine persisted, while his con
tinued to bloom and bear. and so of the
melons. My potatoes made about hall
q crop of small tubers, dug from dry
hills; his yielded bounteously of large
ones, dug from moist earth, at the same
time in field. So with the mangels,
sugar beets, etc. The hilled pease,
beans, ETC., fired early in the season,
and succumbed to the drought. With
out this experience, if one had said that
hilling up growing plants would kill
them, l should have joined in the re-
sponse of a million of farmers, denounc-
ing it as false and contrary to expert
ence because they did not perish on the
day they were hilled up. Ever since I
have avoided hilling and ridging about
growing plants, and cultivated the
soil as levelly as possible.-American

THE DAIRY.

A CUBIC foot of water weighs 1000
ounces; a cubic foot of milk weighs 847
ounces, and foot of cream 780 ounces.
An old dairymer recommends having
a faucet in the bottom of the cream-jar,
SO as to draw off the watery portion of
the cream without disturbing the rest,
as it is this watery portion which be-
comes bitter, and imparts bitter taste
to the butter.
DAIRY BUTTER. 1t may then be
asked, what is defective in the methods
usual on these farms where the grass is
the sweetest, the freshest and the most
abundant; where the water is the purest
and where the crystal springs are the
coolest; where, in fact, nature has done
her part to the fullest? / should an
swer that the sole trouble is want of
cleanliness; first, in milking, in which
sufficient care is not used to clean the
cows or the mixers hands; then in the
management of the spring houses, where
ventilation is scarcely thought of; then
in freeing the butter from the but
termilk; after that in using poor salt
again a want of cleanliness, for impure
salt is unclean-lastly, in packing and
storing the butter. 1t is seasonable
thing for makers of dairy butter to pom
der over these points, and see wherein
they offend against this one needful vir.
tue in dairyihg, perfect and entire clean
illness; to get rid of imperfect methods,
and to practice only those which are
perfect; to study over their system, in
defects.-COr. CleUeldnd Herald.
AN old farmer in the New York Irib-
nne says: IA dairyman, speaking lately
of the very best kind of hay for feeding
his cows during the winter, places Them
according to their value in the follow
ing order: Red clover rowen, clover
hay, fine English hay. .herd'sgrass. These
should be cut as soon as the earliest
heads begin to blossom. I wonder he
does not mention timothy and orchard
grass; for if sowed thick and cut Just
before Towering they make excellent
hay for milch cows as well as sheep.
By herd sgrass suppose redtop is meant,
as it bears the former name in some To-
calities. But there are two other grasses
better than either of the. above to pro-
duce choice butter and to fatten stock
rapidly, and these are June or blue grass
and white clover. The late Mr.. Cliff,
one of the best farmers in Putnam
County, New York, paid particular at
tention to these two latter grasses for
hay, considering that their mixture half
and hall, making up ton of hay, was
worth for butter and to fatten animals
thrice that of most other hay; and al
though these did not produce over a
third as great a weight per acre as tim
othy, still they were the most profitable
to grow on suitable lands, and there
were the additional considerations of
less storage-room required and less Ia
Dor in handling. -....

passed from tree to tree, as though he
wished to do so unobserved, until at last
he was behind where the unsuspecting
maiden sat.
While watched with angry eyes, he
darted from his hiding-place, ran to
her from behind, drew her head back
to him, and kissed her twice or thrice

kissed her again and again, she laugh

And so on. The children looked on
at what was a new experience to them.
What mattered? They would have to
