Winter Dairying.

Hon. Hiram Smith, who is a high
authority on dairy matters, writes to
the Jefferson County Union "Win-
ter dairying still promises to be best,
as the following ought to convince
any butter maker My cows gave 400
pounds Of milk a day, when butter
sold for 81 cents, and 1,500 pounds
when butter sold for 35 cents a pound.
But, say many farmers, it requires a
warm barn for winter dairying. True,
and equally true is it that none but
fools would have anything else than
a warm barn for any kind Of dairying."
This is good advice, and we are glad
to see it from the pen of one so able
to give it. Often have we told the tale
of COWS we have seen that were kept
in a stable that was so warm all WIN
ter that their hair grew no longer than
il did in summer and the amount Of
milk those cows gave was a caution to
look at. There is no element about
dairying so conductive TO large milk
yielding as bodily comfort to the COW,
and a temperature below 60 she will
not stand without loss to her owner

New Method of Washing Butter.

A new .lethod of making butter has
been patented IN Germany. AS soon
as gathered IN the churn in particles
about tenth of an inch in size, it is
transferred to a centrifugal machine,
whose drum is pierced with holes and
lined with a linen sack that is finally
taken out with the butter As soon as
the machine is set in rapid motion the
buttermilk begins to escape; a spray
of water thrown into the revolving
drum washes out all foreign matters
adhering to the butter; this washing
is kept up till the wash water comes
away clean. and the revolution is
then continued till the last drop Of
water is removed, as clothes are dried
in the centrifugal wringer; the dry
butter is then taken out, nodded and
packed 1t Is claimed that the pro
duct thus so fully and quickly freed
from all impurities, without any
working or kneading, has a finer fla
vor, aroma and gram, and better
keeping qualities than when prepared
for market in the ordinary way

A Man Who Has saved Twelve Live

OSWego Times, Nov lfth.
The Dominion Department of
Marine has decided topresent Michael
Troy, of Wolf Island, silver watch
in recognition of his human and
pra ;sewOrthy eXertions in saving life
in Lake Ontario. Mr.. Troy lives on
Wolfe Island, not far from Long
Point, and within eight years has
saved twelve lives. In the fall Of
1875 he went out in a fearful gale and
picked up two men who were lying
helpless in the bottom Of boat. They
had been towing behind steamer
and had broken loose and drifted
away They had been two days with
out food when rescued Ia August
1880, four American tourists were
fishing near Long Point and were
overtaken by a squall, which upset
their boats and nearly drowned the
men. Mr.. Troy transported his boat
across the point in a wagon, launched
her in a boiling surf, and finally got
them to land. On another and more
recent occasion, in a heavy storm OF
wind and rain, the little steamer
Edith Sewall with three men on
board, rolled over owing to the cargo
shifting The men chung to the bot
tom. Mr. Troy saw them by the aid
Of his glass, and going to their rescue
successfully landed them in an ex-
hausted condition. One of them, a
lad, remained in an unconscious state
for couple of hours.

When jury in Judge Biddle's

a round sum in favor of the plaintiff
in a suit which had been on trial for
a day or two the plaintiffs counsel
said Thank YOU, gentlemen.
Judge Biddle remarked THAT is
hardly proper sir, The jury renders
its verdict as a matter of justice, and
notas a favor to counsel. It Is not
necessary to thank them for doing
their duty. If ! were to allow law
yers to thank juries for rendering YER
diets in their favor. they might with
equal consistency claim the right of
censuring them for adverse YER

Hona.aade Fartilizars.

Those who propose to make their own
fertilizers for the seasons use, should do so
as early in the season as the requisite ma
terial can be obtained. We have, from time
to time, given formula for homemade
fertilizers, varying the different ingredients
according to the suggestions of different ex-
perimenters. In this connection we will
give the formula recommended by the Yer
mont Board of Agriculture, which has been
subject to many tests and found to be as un
iformly reliable as any of those found in ths
market. 'sTake two hundred pounds Of
bone meal dusty says The Secretary, the
finer the better Sift, if you can get fine
sieve, SO as to save one hundred pounds of
the finest. Put the coarse part of it into a
tub or box, and wet with water until it is
moist; it will take three or four pailfuls
then slowly add two gallons of snlphuric
acid, which weighs at least fourteen pounds
to the gallon. Stir continuously; it will
foam and boil Let it stand twelve hours,
then add another gallon of acid as before,
and while it is hot, so that the humps break
easily, add the other one hundred pounds Of
bone meal This will then weigh about
three hundred and fifty pounds; add to it
Immediately one thousand six hundred and
fifty pounds of dry loan, wood dirt, Ei;,ssellyy,
or, if these are inconvenient tic get, you may
add sand, though like.<the wood dirt or
muck best. This OF course, has been pre-
viously pp!verized and sifted. Should you
choose, put all together mix perfectly, and
you have ton. 1t has cost you eight dol
lars, and, as far as my experiments 60, and
others that have tried the same way, it is
equal to any ton of heterogeneous fertilizer
used. / use about two hundred pounds of
this to the acre, and find it as good as any
fertilizer | ever used costing forty-five dol
lars ton. find it better than bone cut

per cent of soluble phosphoric acid, such as
Prof Sabin in his addresses has put down as
the most valuable supeIphosphate."

against reason, as the chemist would say
but, as | have explained, it is just the mix
ture that is acceptable to the little rootlets of
various plants. Next to this, find from
seventy-tiye to hundred pounds of bone
dust to the acre, without any preparation
except to mix with dry woods dirt so it can

fore, putting this amount on two acres"

that he also appears in bifurcated garments,

different. He has no extraneOus object in

cule. His thoughts all centre in himself.
It is to please himself that he wears the most
