"A dairy farmer in England, cele-
prated for the splendid quality of his
butter, which has repeatedly been
awarded highest prizes at the Royal
snow, was asked by q correspondent of
tne London LtUe Stock Journal to state
Ine reason for his exceptional success,
and made the laconic reply: PLENTY OF
hot water, SIR"
I'm Sheboygan County. Wis, cheese
manufacturers sell their goods for cash
on board OF the cars and not pound of
cheese goes out of the county until
settled for in full by the buyer. The
railroad receipts are given the purchaser,
and they have no trouble about shortage.
Factorymen Ike this way of doing busi-
ness, as they never lose anything on the
deals.
Whoever places much dependence
on the strainer for securing clean milk
will never make gilt-edged butter. Al
lowing dirt 10 get into the milk and then
depending on the strainer to get
1t out is poor apology for
cleanliness More or less of the dirt
especially everything of soluble nature,
and some that is not, will find its way
through the ueshes of the strainer.
Hard Jumps in the udder are .
symptom of garget, and it would be well
to get rid of these before q COW comes in.
The proper course would be to give
pound of EPSON salts and repeat II nee
essary in 3 few days; to bathe the udder
with warm water and to give only very
moderate feeding, nothing but grass
and no bran or meal until the calf is
week old and then only very sparingly.
American Dafrynsan-
Il. B. Arnold in the Farmers 4dcs-
cate, says the large loss of milk from the
protracted drought of last season should
admonish dairyman of the danger of
letting the spring go by without making
some provision in time for supplying
green food in q midsummer drought,
which, for \ longer or q shorter term,
will be very sure to come. A stitch in
time, etc. But no one need hug the de-
lusion that applying to one part of
farm the products Of another part viii
make one part rich without impoverish-
ing the other.
There is a brisk demand at home
for western butter, and the shipments to
eastern points have largely fallen of
WllAllA Lie El<tSt bA1lCC WCcAc- LAC ANSs
is one for rcongratulation among western
dairymen, who are saved the expense of
shipments, and at the same time enabled
to keep up their reputation among the
people who know them most intimately.
Grass butter of the highest excellence is
coming forward freely, although prices
as yet are held rather above the average
at this season of the year. Congress
siopal action upon the subject of oleo-
margerine and the prospective tax upon
bogus butter has q tendency to keep up
the price Of the genuine article, and it Is
not likely that good creamery viii be Of
fered at lower than existing prices for
several weeks to-come.
We once heard q farmer relate the
following experience: He had a number
of hands working in the hay field On an
extremely hot day. 1t had been his
habit for years to furnish his bayfield,
hands with skim milk to drink in lieu ot
water, because he had found it an ex-
ceedingly healthy drink under such try
ing circumstances. but one day all hands
were taken sick with severe diarrhGa-
When he got to the house he heard his
wife scolding their SON for taking the
wrong bucket to the field. 1t seemed
that the boy had taken the pail that held
the full milk instead of the one that con-
tanned the skim milk, and the richness
of the fun milk had proved too much for
the hands working in the hot sun and
made them all sick--AmericdR Dairy
