Good or Bad Butter.

IT is singular how many people are
Indifferent as to the quality and make
up of the butter they send to market,
and it puzzles one to discover the reason
why. Is it because they do not know
how to make a good article, or because
they won't take the troublep In very
many cases both these apply, but the
main cause, we apprehend, arises from
the fact that in years past their hus-
bands were in the habit of running store
bills from one years end to another,
and when the butter accumulated be-
yond home wants it was sent to the
store to be credited on account for what
the grooeryman pleased to allow; and
the price allowed was generally the
lowest, hence the indifference Of the
maker as to its quality and makeup.
But, be this the cause or not, it is
quite evident that the best goods
shipped 10 good market always COM
mand the highest price, a price, too,
double and often times treble what q
poor one will bring, hence the desira-
bility of making the best. 1t costs but
little more trouble to make, no more
money to ship and but little more to
sell, whilst in the course of year the
difference would be material. For, in
stance, if person made for shipment
only ten pounds per week, which would
be i've hundred and twenty pounds per
annum, this at ten cents per pound
would only realize $52, but at twenty
cents the same quantity would realize
over 800. But even this price.is small
compared with what may be, and is be-
ing secured. In st. Louis butter is now
retailed readily at thirty and thirty-five
cents per pound for desirable qualities
and before the winter is over it will
bring from forty to fifty cents. A little
reading and thought ON the part of
producers will enable them to make an
article that will compare with the best.

Eternity Always Present.

THE lines of our life stretch farther
than we think, We lay our plans for
the future, and they prove to be tracks
that never end. An our paths 90 out
into the unseen world. AS you look
across the street, the line of your Wis
ion is terminated by some building.
You can see nothing beyond. If that
building we're away, you could see
other buildings and streets; and if
these, too, were gone. the line of your
vision would shoot off beyond the
stars till it had reached the utmost
verge of the great universe. So the
hopes of this earthly life--its plans,
and schemes, and busy eontriyings- -
are all endless lines that reach into an
endless eternity. Within the little cir
Gle of yourself, the plans you make for
tomorrow, the wishes and hopes you
entertain for the coming months and
years, you may not see or realize how
far your favorite purposes stretch off
into the distance. Do you ever think
how they touch on the margin of an
endless futureP Do you never see how
all earthly things are embosomed in
an always-present eternityP We walk
every day in the embrace of eternity.
The issue of every purpose is there; the
end of every plan is there; the result of
every deed is there; no path wnl end

THE DAIRY.

If equal weights Of corn and shorts
ore taken. corn will produce the great
or amount Of milk As prices generally
run, II equal sums Of money are eX-
pended in corn and shorts, the invest
ment in shorts viii give the most milk,
while the milk from the corn will be of
better quality. ....
WINTER dairying is being adopted by
many and the pioneers will reap the
richest harvest. The COWS must be fed
during the winter BY having them
come in laterin the fall, with good care
they give large flow Of milk through
the winter and when turned to pasture
will milk nearly equal to fresh cows.
IT is better TO shell the corn and
grind 1t alone than to grind IL with the
cobs. Unless soaked till tender, corn
cobs are about as indigestible as saw
dust and Just about as nutritious. TO
get the best results from feeding corn
to COWS, it should be ground very fine
much finer than it can be if ground
with the cobs.-M Y. Tribune
AT the late meeting of the Interna-
tional Dairy Fair Association, held in
New York, it was stated that Is, 100000
pounds of oleomargarine had been ex-
ported this year under the name of
pure butter and a committee was APP
pointed TO investigate the matter and
report what steps were necessary to
prevent the wholesale frauds now be-
ing carried on to the detriment Of the
dairy interest
The CutttUdt0r asserts that the gem
eral rule in feeding COWS is that twenty
seven pounds of dry food daily are re-
quired for 1000 pounds of live weight,
and that three-fourths or two-thirds of
this should be bulky food, such as hay.
This is a rule which admits of many ex-
ceptions. Very much depends upon
the form Of the COW. Some COWS weigh
ing 800 pounds consume more food than
others weighing 1000 pounds
CAKED UDDER.-Give dose of phys
ic, composed of apound of Epson salts,
dissolved in a quart of warm water; add
thereto a pound of treacle and two
ounces of ground ginger, and give the
whole in one dose. Give sloppy food.
Keep the bag empty by frequent milk
ing, and If the milk does not flow with
out much pulling in the teat of the af-
fected quarter, it is best to draw the
milk by means of milking tube, which
should be carefully inserted, and not
pushed too far up. Apply frequently
hand rubbing, continued during half an
hour at time, the palm of the hand
being occasionally rubbed with flour or
lard to prevent chatting of the udder.
An ounce of aqua ammonia, three
ounces of lard and scruple of iodine.
mixed together, and portion applied
twice daily, will be of service. Power
full stimulants or blisters should not be
applied to the udder. If abscess forms
free incision should be made with a
lancet, and saturated solution of sui
phate of zinc applied twice or thrice
daily to the wound. Prairie Farmer.
