THE DAIRY.

--Ithas to be again and again repeated
that new milk, cream and newly made
butter arc all powerful absorpents, and
that strict cleanliness and purity of air
are necessary to n successful dairy. 1t
has been proved that even while in the
udder milk is affected by powerful odors,
probably in some way through the res
piration of the COW.
In feeding tor ilk it is better to
give the feed moist, not wet. more es-
pecially when oat and wheat chaff is
fed. Then the meal given with the
feed is eaten with it and the cows will
not push the feed about the trough in
the effort to get the meal first. The
feed is also better masticated and
digested when it is given slightly moist.
Three kinds of cheese are made
from potatoes in Thuringia and Saxony.
Potatoes of the large white varieties are
preferred. They are boiled and re-
duced to pulp, to five pounds of which
one pound of sour milk is added and
tain days salt is kneaded in, superlluous
moisture is allowed to evaporate and a
cheese is formed which improves with
age.
The period of milking may be
classed in three parts. For the first six
or seven weeks after calving the largest
quantity of milk per day is produced.
After this the yield falls off pretty con-
siderably, but then remains Mt about
the same figure for two or three months
when q steady decline sets in until the
cow is perfectly dry. BY careful feed
ing the best parts of the milking Pc
riods may be prolonged, and this ought
to be the aim of all the'milk producers.
II green fodder and other food which
stimulates milk secretion can be used
at the right time. considerable extra
quantity of milk may be produced.
During the milking periods the proper
tion OF casein increases and that of but
ter decreases. Milk produced by cows
soon after calving contains, therefore,
more butter and less casein than later
and the difference is great enough to
make itself felt in the larger dairies if
the cows calve about the same part of
the year.

Cleansing and Purifying Factories.

Factory managers will usually talk
very sensibly upon the necessity for
pure air and sweet surroundings for
factories. But when person of deli
cate olfactories goes into the manufact-
uring room of most factories, he will
observe a peculiar and not altogether
the factory has become used to the odor
he does not notice its pungency. This
disagreeable smell arises, in most cases,
from the decaying whey which has
soaked through the cracks in the floor,
the floor not being absolutely water
tight, as it should be. Sometimes holes
are even bored in the floor, so as to let
the whey through more easily, and
soaking into and completely saturating
the earth under the room, a foot or more
deep, warming up in summer, fcrmenta-
ton and putrefaction follow, with such
odors as pig sty cannot equal. This
latter description is true of only few
factories, but defective floors and bad
drainage are too common. Cheese.
after bandaging, is not quite so recep-
tive of odors rs butter, but while in the
curd vat it readily absorbs odors, and
such an atmosphere will certainly not
improve its flavor. It does appear that
greater care might be used to prevent
the spilling of so much whey upon the
floor, and the floor might be water tight
so as to be kept absolutely sweet by the
aid OF little copperas water every day.
The whey vat is also likely to become
source of vile odors. 1t frequently
remains uncleaned for weeks. Every
factory association should make strin-
gent rules in regard to the whey vat
Here carelessness, if not absolute
neglect, occurs at majority of the fac
tories. The manager excuses himself
on the ground of neglect on the part of
the patrons to carry home all the whey
each day. The whey should not be
permitted to remain in the vat more
than twenty-four hours; and after the
whey is all drawn out the vat should be
cleansed with steam at least two or
three times per week. If the manage
would make any proper effort to discuss
the matter at II meeting of the patrons,
a stringent regulation in reference to
could be enforced. This is most en-
phatically in the interest of economy as
well as sanitary regulation. When a
portion of the whey remains for several
days in the vatit becomes very sour and
very unwholesome to animals. Its value
is not more than one-half that of nearly
sweet whey. The patrons should be
made to understand that whey has a
very considerable value, when fed in
proper condition. The whey from 4 200
pounds of milk is we'll worth for feed
ing. either to calves or pigs, So. Dairy
men must study all the economies OF
their business. One of the first matters
to examine in the spring is proper sanl-
tary arrangements about the factories.
This should be attended to before the
factory opens business. National LiUe-

Economy on the Farm.

Economy does not mean niggardly
saving, it does not mean parsimony; in
fact it does not mean scrimping at all.
1t means putting money where it will
do the most good" OF two men hav-
ing the same wealth and equal incomes
one may spend twice as much
money as the other, and yet be
the more economical. will introduce
one or two illustrations.
A farmer has certain piece of fence
requiring repairs. An outlay of
twenty dollars in material and labor
would make it secure. But the farmer
has resolved to be economical (p) and
therefore concludes to let the fence re-
main as it is for another year. There
would be very little saving in this ar
rangement it is true, but then this eco.
nomical farmer realizes that he must
begin with the small things and accord
ingly neglects to mend the fence. 1t
would probably all work right and very
beautifully If the farmer old cow-the
one that always walks at the head of the
drove--believed in economy, too. But
she doesn't. However this defect in
her character is made up by a striking
virtue and wisdom in one of her adopted
rules of action, for she .never puts off
till tomorrow what she can do to-day"
Accordingly, on the very night of that
day when the economical farmer re-
solved not to repair the fence, she
breaks it down in a weak place and leads
the whole herd into the corntield. They
save the farmer husking several bush
els of corn, but when he comes out in the
morning he does not seem to appreciate
their kindness, especially when he sees
how much they have wasted. This
however, would not be SO bad if it had
mended the fence, but it has not a
particle. and well the farmer knows
unless he forthwith repairs it and makes
it doubly strong the old COW will again
break in at her first opportunity. In
this case economy has not paid, simply
because it was not economy at all.
Another farmer has no shed for his
wagon. He, too, has resolved to be
economical, and therefore will not lay
out money for those articles that he
must not of the greatest necessity have

-Orson Shepard, of Tonawanda, N.

His wife saw him put them into the safe
which held all his valuable documents.
He died four days afterward. The ad-
ministrator of the estate had the safe
broken open, the capitalist not having
revealed the combination, but could not
find the bonds. Every drawer was re-
moved and every bundle of papers ex-
amined over and over, but in vain. 1t
was deemed clear that the treasure had
been stolen. Everybody who had been
near the safe after it was opened was
suspected. Detectives were employed
and the whole town was excited. A
reporter of the Buffalo Courier went to
Tonawanda to write up the case. He
examined the compartments of the safe
critically. One of the drawers had Q

He pried it up and found the missing

The old hen was little surprised at
first when she discovered what brood
she had, but she got along with them
first-rate until they were three or four
weeks old, and then she found them
hard to manage. There wasn't enough
chicken in the turtles to make them
feel at home in the poultry-yard, and
one by one they disappeared until they
were all gone. They had found their
way to the river, and never expected
to see any of them again. The next

Management Of a Small Creamery.

The management of small creamery
differs in no respect from that of we'll
appointed private dairy. The only re-
spect in which a creamery is different
from dairy is that it does the work of
several dairies, and in doing this work it
greatly reduces the cost of making the
butter. If we follow up the seasons
work of small creamery of. let us say,
200 COWS, we shall find that one person,
with the partial help of another, will be
able to do all the work for this number
of COWS, which would probably be other
The economy is obvious. In place of
twenty sets of pans, the use of twenty
milk-rooms, twenty churns, and twenty
pairs of hands in cleansing milk-pans
and other utensils, there is but one, and
the labor and time of nineteen or eight
cen persons are saved. Besides. the
product is all alike, of even quality,
packed similarly, and marketed through
one agent; so that all through the work
there is saving of labor and economy of
expense. This, of course, reduces the
cost of making the butter to the least
possible amount. and at the same time
raises the income to the highest posi-
BILE point. Instead of all the butter
from these twenty small dairies being
sold at village grocery, and put up in
the old-fashioned rolls, and being dis
posed of in trade, as was formerly the
custom, at very low price, the aggre-
| gate product is sent of at short inter-
| walls, and while fresh, in refrigerator
cars, and along with the product of
other creameries packed in similar
manner in the same kind of packages,
and reaches the market in such condi-
tion as to realize the highest price.
This is an advantage which is equal in
value to the saving of the cost, so that
the patron of creamery enjoys the
double benefit of the lessencd cost and
the increased value. Ii dairymen lived
before, it is not surprising that they can
make money now, under these consid'
| cradle advantages. m Y. Times.
