THE DAIRY.

The Boston Board of Trade recon-
mends that butter be neatly packed in
white ash or spruce tubs holding from
thirty to sixty pounds. These should
be well soaked in brine before using,
the butter laid in very solid and neatly
covered with clean bleached cotton.
Butter of different colors should not be
put in the same tub. Care is always
found to pay richly.
The keeping quality and taste OF but
ter depend largely on the quality OF the
salt used in making it. Salt that con-
tains lime and magnesia, the two prin-
cipal impurities, is unfit to use. But as
the difference m price between the best
salt and inferior grades is slight, while
that between good and bad butter is
very large, it pays to get the best al
ways for dairy purposes.
Milk From Farrow Cow.--The
milk of farrow COW is very apt to have
small particles of cud in it, and these
float up in the cream and so get into the
butter. Scalding the milk will only
make the matter worse. Nothing can
be done to prevent it but to have the
COW come in again, unless it may be to
give the COW one small tablespoonful oil
carbonate of soda in her feed every
morning for week or two.
I always milk my COWS while
they are in stanchions, summer as wei
as winter; it saves time, and time il
money. If / mess my COWS l always
do it just before sit down to milk
sometimes only one COW at time.

and thus give more of it. There are

Some allow two acres of pasture during
the grazing season, but prefer giving
them less in the spring, when the grass
grows rapidly, and then make up the

-Moistening Old, Dry Cheese
Scanty moisture in cheese is a most fay
vorable circumstance for bookkeeping
The cheeses described, being dry, are
already in condition for preservation
and will doubtless last as long as do

due to their being dry. 1t can be very

Dairy Farmers as Manufacturers.

All dairy farmers are manufacturers,
and the manufacturing processes of the
dairy, either in making butter or cheese
must be regarded as belonging to the
class of highly skilled labor, involving
knowledge of mechanics and chemistry.
Even the preparing of milk for market
skill in order to ensure the product of
the COWS reaching market in good order.
There is no doubt that much good but
ter and cheese is made by /" rule of
thumb" just as a great deal Of dyeing
is done in the same way. But just as
no manufacturer of textiles will now
ever employ a dyer who is ignorant of
the scientific principles which underlie
his art, so no cheese factory or cream
cry can afford to employ maker who
works solely by guess. 1t is fact we'll
known in the dairy goods trade that
only small fraction of that class of
merchandise is of high grade. The
vast bulk of it is second and third rate
Now there is hardly another manufact-
ure in the world which can be engaged
in without disastrous failure where first
class material is used and only second
OF third class products turned out. Yet
this is the exact position of very large
number of our dairy farms. Good cat
tie and good feed are found there, but
good butter and cheese are rarely pro-
duced. 1t is as though business man
should set up factory with good ma
chinery and buy good raw material, yet
turn out inferior goods through want of
skill. Why have cheese factories so
generally superseded the farm manufact-
ure, and why is creamery butter so
much the most salable? Not because it
is impossible to make good butter and
cheese upon the farm. On the contrary,
the very choicest articles of either prod
uct rarely if ever come from the fac.
tory. The factory raises the average
quality of the product and makes it
more uniform, but it is almost impossi.
BILE to make strictly choice article OF
butter or cheese from miscellaneous
milk or cream. The very best must al
ways come from the first-rate farm
dairy. This fact gives the skillful do
nestle manufacturer sort of monopoly,
or at least a steady percentage of ad-
vantage. Every dairyman who does
not avail himself of this fact fails to live
up to his privileges. He should study
his business thoroughly, both as taught,
directly and indirectly, in books, and
also by visiting and learning the prac-
tice of the best diaries. Yet that few
dairymen and women do this is demon
strated by the low prices at which much
the largest part OF American dairy but
ter and cheese is marketed. The total
loss to the country by the misuse in
manufacture of tirst-rate dairy material
must be reckoned high among the mill
ions annually.-T. II. HOskins, M d.,

Getting Potatoes Early.

To get potatoes early a dry, we'll
drained piece of ground should be Sc
lected, rich sandy loan seeming the
most suitable at all times. If an early
crop is desired sprout the tubers, or cut
the potatoes in light, warm room,
from four to six weeks before planting
or in a hot-bed two weeks before they
are wanted, then lift carefully and plant
out-during this time you will procure
strong, vigorous shoots which as soon as
planted out in the open ground will send
out roots and grow more rapidly than
those treated in the ordinary way. All
planters have doubtless observed in
planting that where a set with a long
shoot has been. planted it has been IN
above ground week earlier than the
rest, and this shows the benefit of first
sprouting the sets. There is no use in
planting while the ground is wet, as a
lumpy bit of ground will not do for DO.
tatoes. Plant as early in the spring as
the ground can be thoroughly worked,
for a healthy, vigorous growth, and a
crop free from rot, in hills or rows three
feet apart, and in the rows one foot
apart; covering in light, warm soil about
four inches, and in cold, wet ground
three inches deep. Cultivate to keep
down the weeds, and draw the. earth to
the plants. The practice of killing or
earthing up potatoes has been long con-
tinued, and we must allow with satisfac-
tory results, or it would not still be
almost universal. 1t is claimed that it
entices root growth, besides allowing of
more cultivation than otherwise, the
earth holding up the tops. There are
many persons however who have tried
level culture, and who claim the yield
was just as good as under the earthing.

Joyful Impulses.

EXuberant animal spirits, says the
London Telegraph, have seldom proved
so baneful gift to their possessor as in
the case of a young Australian artisan
of German extraction, whom patriotic
and loyal interest in the marriage of the
heir presumptive to the German throne
prompted to travel all the way from
Sydney to Berlin in order to take part
in the popular rejoicings with which
that suspicious event was celebrated
last month. This light-hearted enthu-
siSst was joyfully promenading the Lin
den Avenue on the Friday afternoon be-
fctn the wedding, inspecting with lively
interest the preparations for Princess
Victoria's state entry into the Capital,
when suddenly he espied German
maiden of extraordinary beauty trip
ping towards him with eltin grace. In
the fullness of his heart he clasped this
type of Teutonic loneliness to his manly
bosom and imprinted patriotic kiss
upon her lips. The blushing maiden
instantly gave him in charge and he
was led away to the Molkenmarket,
where. Intercepted as to his motive
for embracing a daughter of the city
without the least provocation, he pleaded
that "his joyful impulses had outstept
his discretion, and irrepressibly stimu-
lated him to salute an incorporate idea
of German maidenhood." This extern
uating allegation, which might have
melted heart of stone, produced no
visible effect upon the Prussian police
lieutenant, who forthwith sent the
youthful Australian to prison for five
days. When he was released all the
festivities he had travelled twelve thou
sand miles to participate in were over
and done with.
