THE DAIRY.

A CHEAP and excellent food consists
of two rations per day of sweet corn
fodder, one of hay and one of corn
meal.
BUTTER globules vary in size from one
to six thousandths of an inch in dame
ter. The large globules rise first, ohurn
quickest and make the best quality of
butter. In order, therefore, to secure
the best results, Mr.. I. D. Curtis, OF
Watertown, N. Y, recommends skim
ming twice or three times, taking of
the first cream after the milk has stood
six or eight hours, and churning the
different grades of cream separately.
If profit and loss account were kept
by dairyman, he would need to charge
up against his herd ten or twelve pei
cent. per annum for depreciation OF
stock. This he must make up by rails.
ing or buying young cows, and that
item of expense is as legitimate to count
on as the cost of feed. The failure to
make allowance for depreciation of
stock brings many farmer and mer-
chant out at the little end of the horn,
when they imagine all the time they are
making money.
In cold weather, or in cool place,
cheese will keep without material change
for months, but in warm weather or in
a warm place they ripen more rapidly.
and from ripe state pass into that of
decay. Many persons do not under
stand that under certain circumstances
cheese is perishable article as much
as milk is. As rule, cheese made in
September are most highly esteemed,
first, because the milk is both rich and
plenty in that month, and second, be-
cause the ensuing months are just warm
enough to permit of its ripening nicely
up to the time that most of it goes
into consumption. Buyers for the South
ern market must not expect the best
cheese until, say October and Novem-
Der, and purchases made during warm
weather almost certainly result in more
or less disappointment unless consumed
quickly.-Erchdnge.

Summer Butter.

MosT dairymen know how to make
good butter in cool weather, but there
are comparatively few who do in warm
weather, when they could make as good
if not better butter, if there was only
more strict attention in regard to the
condition of the cream before churning.
My experience has taught me that not
only is better butter made, but enough
more to pay for all the extra expense
and trouble, the difference being from
five to ten per cent. more butter. have
found the best mode of setting to be

inches in diameter and twenty inches
deep and placed in tank large enough
to hold four milking,.

take it out and let the cans stand COW

comes slightly acid when it is put into
the tank again and cooled to about fifty
eight or sixty degrees, and then draw
the milk from under the cream. have
found a fifteen gallon tin churn the best,
which will churn from fifteen to twenty
pounds of butter, it being convenient
for keeping the cream as well as cool
ing before and while churning. 1 have
had the best success in commencing
churning at sixty degrees in warm
weather and not allowing it to get above

that,) and gathering the butter at

four eggs with two tablespoonfuls of
sugar; teaspoonful of flour; then stir
into a quart of milk, and bring it to a

cook the egg. then CRATE nutmeg over
the top; let it cool, and it is ready for

THE old adage, "stuff cold and
starve fever" has been thoroughly
exploded by science and experience.
Often the best thing to do for a cold is
to starve it, to the extent, at least, of
giving the patient very light and SIM
pie diet till the cold is broken Modera-
ton in diet, or even a touch of actual
fasting by the sacrifice of meal or two,
will often prove better than medicine in
subduing the cold.
INFrance, when nice dress is packed
the skirt is covered with tissue-paper, so
that the folds of the material never come
in contact, and rolls and balls of paper
are placed here and there to keep
sleeve in shape, to support trimming
or to prevent facing from becoming
crushed. In consequence of this care,
when the dress is lifted from case or
trunk, no matter how long it has lain
there, it is free from crease or mark.
A DELICIOUS lemon-jelly cake which
will keep well, and which is in fact bet
ter after having been kept for week, is
an easily obtained luxury. Take two
cups of sugar, half cup of butter, one
cup of milk, three eggs, two and one
half teaspoonfuls of baking-powder, and
three cups of flour. This makes five
layers. For the jelly use the grated rind
Of two large lemons and the juice also,
one cup of sugar, one egg, half cup of
water, one teaspoonful of butter, one
tablespoonful of flour mixed with little
water; boil until it thickens and then
place between the layers of cake.
THE roots of shrubs and trees dug up
nom the woods or fields should be
carefully covered to shield them from
the sun and wind while they are being
carried home, and, indeed, until plant
ed. They should also be severely cut
back. The only reason why nursery
trees are more safely transplanted than
those from the fields and forests is that
more abundant root growth has been
secured by transplanting. The old,
long, woody roots are cut away and a
more compact growth of fibrous roots is
induced. A tree in the woods is sup
ported by long tap or surface roots, ex-
tending far away from the stem. These,
in transplanting, must be sacrificed.
The inequality, then, between what re-
mains and the stem and branches is
great. The latter must be cut back to
create new equilibrium. Unless SO
treated, most forest trees will fail after
removal.-Rural Nesc Yorker.

After luncheon at the Continental armory,
the visitors were escorted to the st. Charles,
where they will be quartered during their
stay In the city.
j. A. Chaloron, President OF the Associa-
ton OF the Army of the Tennessee, will pre-
sent each of the visiting companies with
copy of the following resolutions:
That the veterans of the Army of the
Tennessee of the late Confederate States do
extend you the hand of fellowship, indi-

as soldiers pledged to honor and defend the
flag Of our country.
That this association, entertaining neither
bitterness for the past nor animosity for the
future, cherish only recollections of the
Prowess, devotion and vaIor OF the Ameri-
can soldiers wherever exhibited, and hold
in high esteem the glorious record won by
your command.
The resolutions are printed In gold on
satin, and are intended as a memento of the
high regard and good fellowship In which
the visitors are held by the veterans of the
late Confederacy.
