suggestions About Dairying.

Pasture alone has an immense fnnu-
enee over the butter, Any manuring
that serves TO promote q rank, succu-
lent growth, which, while it may in
crease the quantity of milk, contains =
large per cent. of water, Is not benef-
cial for the making of butter, reducing
at the same time the strength and flesh
Of the cows in the herd.
Since 1t has been asserted that the
Jersey COW is the one that yields the
rcoss in quantity, quality and color OF
butter, the food that is best relished by
her must be supplied. Grass and hay
are the staples. These grow with little
labor in the cultivation. Sowed corn,
or corn-fodder, either dry or green,
helps i'll In. The first may be given
with great benefit when the pastures
have become reduced in yield. Winter
dsirying is more profitable than sum-
mer. but attended with more care and
labor. A crop Of roots, either beets or
carrots, should be raised for winter
use. Turnips are not good unless fed
at a proper time; that is, just after
milking. The odor then passes of with
out efIecting the milk, and the quar-
tity is increased, but not the quality.
Cleanliness throughout Ia every de-
partment is important. The milk gives
the flavor, color and texture to the but
ter. The milk pail should be perfectly
clean. No sloyenly person should be
allowed 20 do the milking, neither
should the care and cleansing Of the
indictments be entrusted to such per-
son. There must be bright, smart,
clean hands in every department The
udder of the COW, il dirty, should be
washed with a sponge and clean water
before milking, In order to avoid that
peculiar .'barnyardy" flavor which
always hangs about some peoples but
Ter. This is no iault of the COW, but
OF the keeper, In allowing her TO lie
down in filthy places thoroughly i'm
pregnated with it. In milking, the
fne dust scatters into the pail, and
forms q sediment that settles into the
bottom OF the vessels. In which the
milk is set. This is too frequently the
result of iaz ness. After tits once mixed
with the milk no strsiner will separate
il. The fiayoring OF milk and butter is
very fine and delicate, and is isinhuenced
by surroundings, consequently these
mnst bs looked TO. A ilthy stable is
worse than 3 barnyard, and in these
TWO places most OF the milk is drawn
from the cows. There are many
methods of setting the milk, and every
one has a way Of his owD, whether 1t
be correct OF not, That mode which
produces the greatest amount OF but
ter from the given quantity OF milk,
and with the least expense OF time, Is
the cheapest and easiest. The temper
ature of the atmosphere is one import
ant item, and this may be controlled in
q measure.

A Feathered Bandit.

The butcher bird Is feathered BAN

preyis well defined; there ia no mis-

them and to slay them. Every bird

that part Of the trouble lies In the con-

Great difficulty has been found in max.

Rubber Noslds aud Stamps.-In an
admirable lecture by Mr.. Thomas
Bolas. Fellow Of the Chemical Society,
before the London Society of Arts, the
following plan of making casts or
mOuldings of phototypic reliefs In vul-
canized rubber Is given. Take an Or
dinary type-metal cast or mould pro-
drced by Photographic agencies from
the original negative. The first step
is very slightly to oil the mould, after
which black lead Is applied to the sur
face, and the excess is polished of by
means of soft brush. A sheet Of
mixed rubber, previously softened by
heat, Is next applied to the prepared
surface of the mould, and curing is
effected by means of small hot-press
into which the mould and rubber are
placed. This press consists of q cast
iron hsh-kettle, upon the bottom of
which rests a slab of type-metal an
inch thick. Inside the kettle is placed
small press, like copying press ia
miniature. By the side of the press
stands small iron cup, containing
glycerine, and in this fluid Is immersed
the bulb OF q thermometer, the stem of
which projects through hole in the
cover of the kettle. By means of q
small gas stove heat can be applied to
the apparatus, and it is easy SO to ad-
just the gas supply that the thermo-
meter shall indicate q rolerably con.
slant temperature Of, say, 40 degr. or
10 degr. eentigrade. Most qualities of
mixed rubber will become fairly well
cured by being heated under these cir
cumstances for half to one hour, and
any tendency toward adhesion to the
mould is obviated by the preparation
WIN OH and black lead. This appa-
latus Is also extremely we'll adapted for
curing the india-rubber stereoIypes or
stamps, now so extensively used for
lhuorsement aud other purposes. To
make these stereotypes, q reverse or
mould Is made from the types. this
being taken in plaster of Paris, or better
still, In metal. When plaster is en-
ployed 1t is we'll to harden it, by satu.
rating il with an Alcoholic SOLUTION ot
shellae, and again driving. The soft
mixed rubber Is then iorced into the
mould, after which the curing NAV he
effected in the hot press.
