THE DAIRY.


Mr.. Henry Stewart says with em-
phasis: "It costs no more to raise q
good COW than poor one"
Selling Milk and Exhausting Land.
Without going into the exact fig
ures to show the amount of fertilizing
material carried off from the land, it
will be sufficient to remark in q general
way that, while a high price is obtained
in selling the milk for what is carried
away, low sum is paid for the enrich
ing substances supplied in the pur-
chased food, and in any special fertil-
izers added. In other words. the COWS
convert low-priced material into that
which sells at a much higher rate. while
a large portion is still retained in the
shape of manure from the animals to be
applied to the land. A much larger
portion of the produce of the land is re-
tanned in selling milk. than in raising
and selling grain. Harris gives the
following figures by way of illustrating
these advantages Five hundred pounds
of cheese contains twenty-five pounds
of nitrogen and twenty pounds Of min
eral matter. A COW. to produce it,
would eat six tons of hay or its equiva-
lent in grass, which would contain 240
pounds of nitrogen and $40 pounds OF
mineral matter, a very small portion Of
which goes off in the cheese, and the
rest remains to enrich the land; while
a crop of wheat removes five or six
times as much. Grain-growing farm
ers keep up the fertility of their land,
and dairymen can do so much more
easily.-RtfrdL Neto Yorker.

New Passenger Depot.

Since the w. & l.. z. crossing was
put in, all trains on the G. G. G. & l.
road are obliged to 60 very slow, and
some even have to come to full stop
at that place. This makes so much stop
ping and is so expensive, it costing one
dollar for every one made, that it is
now proposed to move the passenger de-
pot TO a point near the crossing and
use the same one for both roads. The
freight trains not having to run at a
high rate of speed, can be accommodate
ed nearly as well where the depot now
is, and that will not be changed. While
this plan has some advantages to the
company, it has serious disadvantages
to the people. The central position and
the ease of access to our depot has been
a great convenience to Wellington, and
the idea of having to take a hack or
walk half mile every time one wishes
to take train is not relished by our
citizens. One, who has subscribed lib
orally for the w. & L. E. road, says
if he had known It would have resulted
IN this change he would not have paid
cent. He thinks that the evils out
weigh the advantages, and would pre-
fer the new road had gone to New Lon
don or some other cross roads. We
should very much dislike to have such a
change made, but we presume the Off
GERS of our road will not consult our
wishes and we shall have to submit as
gracefully as we can. The Superintend-
ent has already been here looking over
the matter, and we supposeit is about as
good as decided to make the change.

Our Fire Department.

Nearly all towns have their pet in
stitutions, and the Fuller Fire Company
is one of ours. We are, Justly we
think, proud of our Fire Boys, and they
are also proud of their achievements,
having had, since their organization
six months ago, three chances to test
their skill, and In each case acquitted
themselves like veterans. Their cleo
ton for officers for the coming year
took place last week amidst the best of
feeling, and resulted in the election of
Walter Routsou as Foreman, George
Howk First Assistant, Charles Fl. Black
Second Assistant, Carl Palmer Secre-
tary, J. NJ. O;terbacher Treasurer, and
Henry Robinson Steward. The report
of the Treasurer gave them about S400

fire and water committee of the Coun-
Gil, read a contract made with house
in Chicago for the furnishing, within
sixty days, of a fine hook and ladder
truck and the equipments for the same.

From Litehfleld.

To the Editor of the ENTERPRISE
1t being known to many of the readers Of
your enterprising journal that Mormon
Elder occupied the pulpit of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in Litchield last Sabbath
afternoon, which act has created considerable
sensation, it seems but right that a brief ex-
PLANTATION should be made The reader may
rest assured that this disturbance of order
did not occur because the Methodist Episco-
pal Church in Litchfeld, or anywhere else, is
in sympathy with this foul stigma on the fair
name Of religion, or because any individual
member or authority OF the Church there is
thirsting to drink OF the fountain that flows
up from Salt Lake; but the secret Of the dis
graceful affair seems to be this: All people
are not aware that Mormon and Latter Day
Saint mean the same thing (and that this Is
true is not strange, for II, instead of the lat
ter title they bore that belonging to the in
habitants of hotter climes it would be much
more compatible with the facts) and this
sprig of Joe Smiths crazy dreams having
approached some of the unsuspecting Meth
odists, to whom he introduced himself as an
Elder Of the Church of the Latter Day Saints,
who desired the privilege of speaking in

quest was granted, and, consequently, the
man that could not have obtained a hearing
on any street corner of the town was allowed
to peacefully deliyer his message in behalf %
of many wives from the Methodist pulpit
On hearing of the appointment we made
every convenient effort to reach the spot in
time to put q temporary quietus on the man
from Salt Lake, but on arriving there found
our pulpit already in possession Of the apos-
tie for polygamy. We thought of One who
once went into the temple and made whip
of small cords, and believed II He were now
in our place He would repeat it, but notwith-
standing our duty to follow through evil as
well as through good report, we concluded
to keep still, trying to PERSUADE ourselves
that this might, perhaps, afford an exception
to the Gospel rule.
Hoping that no injury may result from the
affair, and knowing that no good person will
use or attempt to use it to the detriment of
the Methodist society, I am,

Then.

Then the summer mornings were full
of singing-birds, always waiting outside
our windows to help US begin the day
with happiness. Then flowers were
born as if to accompany the birds in
their benevolent mission. Then all our
dreams were pleasant imaginings, Ara
bian Nights Entertainments, frolic
visions of untroubled joy. Then june
was the longest and loveliest month in
the calendar. Then we were never de-
pressed by bad weather. Then headache
had no lodging nearer than our neigh
bor's brain. Then personal rheumatism
was unknown to us. Then insomnia
had not been invented, and we were
not obliged to draw upon the apothecary
for vials of sleep. Then we could walk
twenty miles a day without fatigue.
Then was all gold that glittered. THKN

Aftemnt to Break Iail.

Last Thursday afternoon another at
tempt was made to break Jail. Deputy
Boyd suspected something amiss and
went into the prisoners quarters with
out being heard by them. He found
two of the rascals working on the ma
sonry under window in the west wall
of the building. They had blanket
over the stone they were working on,
to deaden the noise, and had improvised
a tool to work with out of piece of
iron they had wrenched off the inside
fixtures. When discovered, the fellows
had hole In the wall, and would have
accomplished their object had a little
more lime been given them. One Of
the prisoners, James DeVere, made a
desperate attack on George, but was
overpowered. Nothing but eternal
vigilance on the part of the officers can
keep prisoners inside the walls of this
old shanty.-ElyIia Republican.

Feeding for Milk.

In some cases of extraordinary yield
It has been found that skim milk has
b. en- fed to cows in large quantities,
AID all the cow had to do was to act as
sort of strainer. Of late years the use
of brewers grains has become universal
where they could be obtained, and the
result has been an increased yield, by
some claimed to be of poor quality and
by others to be first-class, giving as evil
dence the condition of the cows. which
generally are in good condition and in
many cases really fat-those who claim
the latter asserting that cows in q thriv-
ing fat condition must give rich milk.
One of the most prominent producers
and shippers of milk for this market
feeds his cows exclusively on these
grains winter and summer, and on a
visit q few days since to his farm, we
found the cattle many of them
apparently fit for the butcher. Corn
meal and bran, in the proportion of
equal parts by weight. have been con-
sidered one of the best mixtures, while
an addition of oil cake, either of fax or
cotton seed, has, in the opinion of many,
been amply repaid by the increased
product of butter. The hegeneral custom
of dairy farmers has been to depend
upon grass alone during the summer,
but OF late some have practiced giving a
small ration of meal or bran, and with
very good results, both in the yield of
milk and butter. 1t is generally taught
that heterogeneous food adds to the
caseine in milk, and that carbonaceous
compounds increase the butter product,
and the reasoning seems to be plausi-
bio, as cheese contains large proper
ton of heterogeneous matter, while but
ter is almost entirely fatty substance

Keeping Butter.

There are two ways for butter makers
to get over the troubles of the hot sea-
SON. One system, adopted by some
good dairymen, is, not to make any
surplus butter at that season, but to
have their cows go dry the 1st of July,
and come in again in September and
October. In this case they produce
butter only at the seasons that COM
mand the best price, and the cows go
dry at the busiest season, giving the
dairyman more time for his harvest.
Less butter is consumed during the
three warm months, and, under the old
system. more is made than in any other
three months. The second way is, to
make only the very best quality of but
ter, even in the hot season, and pre-
serve it for three months or more by
excluding the air from it.
If butter is put up in the best con-
dition, and kept from the communicating
contact of air, it will come out as rosy
in color. and fine in flavor, in October
or December. as when put up in July
and August. There have been different
ways devised for excluding the air; but
perhaps the best way is to suspend the
butter in strong brine. The butter is
put into muslin sack and then sus-
pended in q tub three inches larger all
round than the sack of butter. Where
butter is made in considerable quantity,
it is put up in sacks holding 100 pounds,
and these are suspended in oak barrels
}afge enough to allow of one and half
inches of brine all round the sack. In
some cases the oak barrels are made
tight ut both heads; the upper head has
two cleats on the under side, one and q
half inches thick; this is to keep the
sack of butter under the brine, as ii
would otherwise rise to the top. The
upper head is taken out, the sack put
in, the head replaced. and the brine
poured through q hole in the head, and,
when full Of brine, this is plugged.
This barrel, standing in cool place,
will keep the butter perfectly for
many months. The butter is better
when put up in granules, only having
been washed in brine, but not salted
or worked; and when taken out, it is
then worked and salted, and will be
found as fine as when fresh. The BRINE
excludes the air, and all is preserved

How to Have Pure, Sweet Milk.

The following rules prescribed by
a large New York company, who own
twenty creameries, are offered for the
consideration of our friends in the milk
business:
Rules. Never under any circum-
stances put a pail of milk into your can
before straining. One pail of unstrained
milk may spoil a whole can, and one
can of impure milk will certainly in.
lure all milk or cream with which it
comes in contact In the name of de-
cency, we beg of every patron to be par
ticular about milking and properly
straining the milk.
2. Cans containing milk should never
be kept in milking barn during the
night. The scent of the stable (howev-
er well kept will injure the milk and
spoil the nice flavor fresh butter should
have. An open shed little distance
from your barn, your woodshed or your
kitchen, is the only proper place for
keeping milk over night.
Suggestions-1. Insist that your milk
ing be done in cleanly manner. Too
much pains can not be taken in this par
ticular. Carelessness here will entail
a great loss on the manufacturer and
insult the consumer.
2. Bed your COWS with sawdust, If
possible; it will keep your cows clean
and the stable sweet.
3. Do not, under any circumstances,
leave your pals and strainer at the barn
over night. Please carry them 10 the
house and insist that they be properly
washed both morning and evening.
Much depends on this.
4. Use only tin pals for milking.
5. The tin strainer pals are the best
for straining milk. Some dairymen use
strainer pals and also a cloth stretched
over the can-thus straining the milk
twice. We advise this double straining
of milk. 1t costs you but little trouble
while it will greatly add to the value of
the butter and cheese made from your
milk
