The Draft of a PIow suIky.

Why is the draft of plow sulky less
than that of walking plow? asks and
answers writer in the Ohio Farmer.
Simply because the plow is carried
through the soil instead of being pulled
though. In the common walking -plow
the weight of the soil upon the mold
board causes the plow to rest upon the
bottom of the furrow, with so much ad-
ditional friction. With the plow sulky
this weight is transferred from the bot
tom of the furrow, with its friction, to
the wheels, including the weight of the
soil that is being overturned. With a
common plow it viii be noticed that the
under edge of the Landslide makes q
very smooth track in the furrow, which
can only be produced by considerable
pressure; but this disappears when the
plow is suspended upon an axle between
two wheels. Then again, there is no
plunging of the plow, going deeper than
Is needed, or running to land and max
ing a wider furrow, with increased draft,
or running out and taking off only a
strip. At the ends of the furrow the
plow is hoisted and wheeled into its
place, instead of being dragged about;
and in starting furrow or closing up a
landing no walking plow can do as easy
and as satisfactory work as can be ac-
complished by sulky.

How to XIII a Rattlesnake.

A working party on a railroad here is
madeup of mountaineers and Georgians.
One of the latter performed foolhardy
feat the other day that made the blood
of the unaccustomed spectators run cold.
They were at work clearing away the
thick underbrush, in advance of the en-
gineer, when some one shouted: "'Ware
of rattlesnakesi" He saw one of these
reptiles about four feet long and five or
six inches in diameter lying just ahead.
The Georgian cut short stick with a
forked end, and creeping up to the
snake he deity pinned it to the earth by
pushing the forked end on either side of
his neck. Then, seizing the tail in his
right hand, he ran his left down the
snakes body, and grasping it firmly just
back of the head he held it up at arms
length and called on the others to "look
at the varmint's mouth" 1t was any
thing but a pleasant sight, and most of
the spectators were Mortified. After
holding it a few minutes for general in
spection, he suddenly swung the snake
over his head with his right hand, let
ting go the hold of the left, and dashed
it with great force against q rock, kill
ing it instantly. 1t was cool and dex-
terous feat, but very trying to the look
ers-on, who censured the mau for his
ssfolly," at which he seemed to be
nightly amused.-Nortb Caroliad Let

Seeding to Grass in the Fall.

As a rule Western farmers SOW but
little grass-seed in the fall, though the
practice is quite common in other parts
of the country. In some of the Eastern
States, where there is much snow to pro-
tect the young plants, timothy Is gen.
orally sown in the early part of the fall,
and it makes a good growth before the
cold weather sets in. Sometimes clover
does remarkably well when the seed is
sown at the same time. Winters in the
West are generally unfavorable to pre-
serving young grass and clover plants,
and the ground is ordinarily in poor
condition to seed down to grass in the
early part of the fall. 1t is often so dry
that seed as small as that of grass and
clover will not germinate. If the seed
sprouts, the tender stalks are often
destroyed by the hot sun and dry air.
During the past four years the practice
of sowing grass-seed on fields as soon
rs 3 crop of Hungarian grass or millet
has been harvested has become very
general in the vicinity of Chicago, and
the best results have followed the prac-
tice. The seed is sown in the stubble-
fields and covered with light harrow.
IL there are seasonable rains it comes
up in few days, and the stubble pro-
tects it during the winter. The condi-
dition of the soil in respect to moisture
is very favorable to sowing grass-seed
in the West, and it is likely that much
more will be sown with fail grain than
is usually the case. If the seed is sown
on grain stubble, and the winter is IA
vorable, good crop of grass can be
harvested next season. It will have the
start of the weeds in the spring and viii
in q great measure keep them in check
If grass-seed is sown without grain in
the spring, however, weeds are likely to
take possession of the ground, and to
keep it.-Chicdgo Times.

A Travelling Dairy.

An Irish agricultural paper gIves an
interesting account of a method adopted
in that country to instruct the country
folks in the best methods of butter
making. A perambulating dairy makes
the rounds of both Ireland and England.
Its working is thus described: The staff
consists of lecturer, dairyman and a
woman. The former was an English
man, son of an extensive milk and but
ter merchant in London, with long ex-
perience'in butter making, packing and
selling. His story was well arranged and
well told. The dairyman and the woman
were pure Hibernians, and Just the peo-
ple for the work-neatness, order, clean
illness and methodical working persona
fed John, in his neat, white jacket,
and Ellen, in her dainty holland dress,
were fit to compare with the best of their
class-Saxon, or Norman, or Dane.
The dairy was fitted with the Holstein
churn and butter worker, and other APP
pGances, which the great dairy shows
have made celebrated, the object of the
dairy being to show the method OF
butter-making adopted by the best
continental producers OF that article.
Thus equipped, the educational dairy

and the population is very scattered.
Audiences, therefore. were small. but the
lectures and working were much APP
preciated. The next trip of the dairy
was to the Birmingham dairy show.
Each day some sixteen gallons of cream
was churned into delicious butter and
sold at two shillings Qorty-eight cents)
per pound. On helast day the demand
so far exceeded the supply that the but
ter was made UP in quarter-pound lots,
no one being allowed to have more than
Q single pat The plan adopted for
working the dairy was to show the whole
process of butter-making, from the cream
to the package ready for sale. While
the work was going on the lecturer eN-
lplained each stage, and gave proper rea-
sons for the adoption of the reforms he
had to recommend. As a rule, there
were two churnings day, at each OF
which about twelve or sixteen pounds OF
butter We're made, rolled and packed in
small baskets or boxes and sold on the
spot Cleanliness and system were the
foundation on which his story was
built. After the lecture, conversations
and questions were invited about any
part of the address or working not un-
iderstood by the auditory. Very inter.
esting were these conversations and
questions. Suffice it to say, in conclu-
sion, that the information collected made
it apparent that this institution was very
much needed in order to carry proper
teaching into many dark places in the

Warm weather and Butter.

To make good butter in hot weather
Is to attempt that which is impossible,
many good housewives think. Those.
who have not the modern conveniences
for setting milk, no creameries, nc
sssolid-butter'' cows-what are they to
doP We own they are laboring under
difficulties The Importance of having
a good supply of ice for dairy use cannot
be oyerrated, for it is the great thing in
summer butter-making. 1t costs little
something to build an ice house, yet il
need not be an expensive one; it takes
time and trouble to cut and haul the ice
from the pond, yet it is in the winter
that this is to be done, when labor and
time are worth least, usually. All the
cost and all the trouble will be more
than balanced by having nice butter to
sell the year round at good prices, especi-
ally when the cellar or miIk-room is
naturally warm Make tank of wood
or. brick; set the milk in cans, eighteen
or twenty inches high by eight inches in
diameter; fill the tank with water once
or twice week, and put in q cake Of
ice, or enough to keep the temperature
at about fifty-five degrees Fab; and the
cream viii rise abundantly. When the
cream is ready for the churn, see that it
has temperature of about sixty-fve de-
erees, at which point butter is soonest
made. Previous to churning, STIR the
cream every day, and there Will be no
trouble from s'white specks" in the but

ing the butter pasty. 1t will preserve

is estimated at 50, 900. Therefore, only
capitalists can indulge in the luxury OF
experiments. One of the principal
operators is said to have spent a quar-
ter of a million before finding any ore.
The miners are paid only So n month,
with board and lodging. The sale OF
liquor is forbidden within twelve miles
from each shaft, that discipline may be
maintained. The number of mines has
largely increased since the second quar-
ter of the present century, but that pc

the serfs then cost next to nothing,
though the pay of the workmen is now
pitiably small.

THE DAIRY.

AN Iowa paper complains that the
more creameries there are in that State
the less butter there is in the home
market, and the higher the price. The
creamery butter commands the highest
price in the Eastern markets, and is sent
out of the State.
The creamery system of dairying is
working wonders for people of this great
valley. As the years progress we expect
to see the old system of agriculture in the
prairie States thoroughly revolutionized.
Indeed, this process is now being rapidly
consummated. A disastrous grain pro-
tucing season like the present, viii tend
largely to fastening the full realization.
--Hdsck- Ege.
The Union Dairy Fair, to be held at
Milwaukee December 3 next, promises
to be of more than ordinary interest to
the milk producers and butter and cheese
makers of the northwest than such af-
fairs usually are. The executive CON-
mittee are putting forth the necessary
efforts to make it grand success, and
owners of stock, as wen as manufacture
eFs of butter and cheese. should send
their products for competition. Liberal
premiums are offered by the committee,
beside numerous special premiums by
persons interested in the advancement
of the dairy industry in the west. There
is no doubt but that the northwestern
dairy States will be greatly benefited by
this Exposition.
e. B. Sayles, of Shoreman, VT,
whose butter took the first prize at the
International Dairy Fair at New York,
says that to make good butteri it is of the
first importance that the milk be good,
and for this purpose he has Jersey cows,
which he feeds with Indian meal, corn
stalks, good English hay cut early, red
clover and alsike clover. He sets his
milk in pans twelve inches deep and i'm
merses them in spring water; skins
every twelve hours in summer, and at
intervals of twenty-four hours in winter.
He sours his cream and churns it at .
temperature of sixty-four degrees; salts
it to suit the taste of his customers,
sometimes using three-fourths of an
ounce and at other times an ounce to the
pound of butter.
1t is not unusual for cows to hold up
their milk when mixers are changed,
but if kindly treated they usually get
over it in few days. There are some
COWS that have strong prejudices against
men, when they have been accustomed
to be MIXED by woman; one cause of
this may be that at some time they may
have been badly treated by some man;
another, undoubtedly is, that q woman's
hand is softer than mans and does not
irritate the teats so much. Cows, espec-
tally at the time of milking, should be
treated with great kindness; no harsh
word should he used, and the milk should
be drawn as quickly and as gently as
possible. A cow that once takes dis
like for person does not easily get over
it; sometimes it may be done by giving
mess of meal while milking, but when
it can be avoided it is best not to feed
while milking. A cow that has been
properly trained viii stand better when
she is not eating; but there are cases
when this is the best way out of diff
culty.-AGSsdchsLSett PlOttghndn.
