THE DAIRY.

THE butter trade in Europe is as
much exercised over the oleomargarine
question as our own! Large quantities
are sold in all large cities there.
PASTURES that have been fed few
seasons will generally produce more
milk, or make more fat, than those
which have been newly seeded down.
For the six months ending Dec. l..
1880, the exports of cheese reached
105, 454.522 pounds; butter, 22.664, 344
pounds; oleomargarine, 6,760, 219 lbs.
Nearly two-thirds. of this latter COM
pound has been shipped to Rotterdam.
WATER made slightly salt, and to
which. bran in the, proportion of one
quart to every gallon has been added,
is said to increase the yield of milk
by twenty-five per cent, if it is given to
COWS as their ordinary drink. After a
short time the COWS will refuse pure
water, unless they are very thirsty.
SORE TEATs IN Cows.-Take a full
pail of cold water and wash and rub the
sores well. Use the whole pailful OF
water before milking, which cools the
teats or reduces the fever, and the COW
will stand perfectly still. After milk
ing, use half as much more cold water,
cleansing the bag and teats well, and in
few days the sores will be healed.
This is not all thegood you will receive.
Youwill have clean milk and that is
the way to have clean butter. National
Lice Stock Journal.
PROBABLY few articles sold from the
farm take off so little of the life of the
soil as butter. This is mainly oil Gear
bon,) one of the abundant and cheap
substances in nature, constituting one
twenty tive-hundredth part of the at
mosphere and the great bulk of all vege-
tation. The impression is quite general
that the milk which yields the most
cream is the richest, and if oil is the
test of richness this is true; but good
milk, that which will bring up healthy,
well-developed children, must contain
something besides cream. NJ
THE visible supply of cheese in the
United States is less now than it was a
year ago, and while it is tUle that the
export trade is very light, it is also true
that there is not enough to supply that
trade, even at present shipments, until
hay cheese comes into market. The
year, now SO near its close, has been
one of great prosperity for the dairy
men and manufacturers, and with nc
unforeseen events, the season of 1881
will open under highly favorable cir
.cumstances, yet we donot wish to lead
any one into the belief that excessively
high prices will be obtained. -Elgnl

? DRINK In CASES OF FEvER.-There is
no more refreshing drink in cases of
fever than weak green tea, with lemon
juice added instead of milk. 1t may be
taken either cold or hot, but the latter is
preferable. >npit e3}siac~7A
REFUSE FAT.-There is much refuse
fat from the kitchen that can be turned
to good account by feeding it to the
hens. OF course where soap is made it
will be used in that way but it is a ques-
ton whether it is not much easier and
more profitable to buy soap, and make
the hens lay by feeding them with fat.

To make Graham waters, take one
cup of Graham flour, one and one-third
cups of boiling water, and one-half tea
spoonful of salt Put the salt into the
boiling water, pour the water gradually
on the Graham, beat thoroughly, and
set away to cool. When cool, spread on
sheets or pans as thin as the blade of a
knife. Bake in moderate oven about
twelve minutes. Sick people can eat
this when they can eat no other bread.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Country
Gentleman says: ""To have good pas
ture, sow three pecks to a bushel of win
ter rye to the acre when the corn is
plowed the last time. Sow later if it is
not wanted knee high when the corn is
harvested. This will give splendid fall
feed. l prefer it to tame grass. If a
crop is wanted take off the stock before
1t thaws out in the spring, SO that they
will not tramp it. If a crop of grain is
not wanted, pillow it under in the spring
and it will make the land richer. 1t
makes good feed for all kinds of stock.
The reason that mention it now is that
farmers can secure, seed and have it
ready when they need it. The rye and
corn will make splendid feed.7 1E
MARYLAND BIsCUIT.--Rub one table
spoonful each of butter and lard into one
quart of sifted -four. with one teaspoon
full of salt; gradually add milk enough
to make stiff dough, mixing it with the
hand When the dough is mixed lay it
on Toured ibread-board and beat it
with the rolling-pin, turning it continu-
ally, until it blisters and cracks loudly.
1t will require to be beaten about hall
an hour. When the blisters are abund-
ant tear off pieces of the dough as large
as an egg, mold them in the form OF
biscuits, prick the tops with fork, and
bake the biscuits in rather quick oven
