Butter Making a Fine Art.

I look upon butter-making IS n of
the fine arts. No man or woman can
make good butter without the sensi-
tiveness of good taste to recognize
what constitutes the excellencies of but
ter. AS butter comes to me, and I
sell it for twenty or twenty-five cents a
pound; BIS sells a little higher; C's
higher still; while DIS bring thirty
cents regularly. l have been in diaries
where the flavor and working of the
butter was excellent; but it goes down
into the cellar and stands several weeks
before it is sent to market. There is a
hole in the cellar wall where the air
constantly enters; the temperature is
constantly changing, and the butter
ers will make their butter well, then
put it where it will keep, it will do
much better in the end. Perhaps the
soil of a mans farm is low, springy and
wet, then the feed will be sour, and you
cannot get nice butter out of that, either
dairy or creamery. The flavor of the
butter depends largely or the flavor of
the feed. In order to make fine butter
in the winter-time, the utmost %cleanli-
ness must be Observed; must wash the
cows udder in warm water and dry
with a cloth. If the atmosphere is bad,
your milk will be tainted 1t depends
upon circumstances whether it is safe
to set your milk down in an improper
ly cleaned or improperly ventilated
stable. As soon as the milk comes to
the exact temperature of the surround
ing air, it absorbs the impurities there
in.-Austin BeLtnap, President of the
Boston Butter, Cheese and Egg Asso-
ciufiO71.

Kicking Cows.

A kicking cow Is a t1resome, ~wrath-
provoking nuisance, and all the worse
because one knows it is best to curb
his indignation and profess the kindest
feelings, while entertaining the most
wrathful desires. 1t is, however, ones
w fault: that is, when the COW is of
his W rearing: A purchased cow
is quite another thing. A very frequent
cause, and one that may be predicated
of young calves and heifers as well as
of COWS that kick, is that they have
been prodded with the dung fork when
the stable has been cleared by a hired
man, or have been ill-used in some other
way. 1t is all a precautionary move
ment on the part of the cow, and all
kickers have been made so. Some
young heifers who have not been
trained before having their first calf,
will naturally resent the milking be-
cause it is not what they expect. But
they should be trained to this business
previously. Some will kick because
milking is painful. When this is the
case, the only effective safeguard is the
''spancel." This is a piece of rope of
the right size, having a loop at each
end. We make it Of a piece of cord
bout t~wenty-four inches long, having a
>nap-hoop at each end. Tie. cord is
passed around one leg and hooked, and
then around the other and hooked. This
ties both of the legs, leaving about six
inches of cord between. The Gov a
not kick, and although she may strug-
gle a little at first will soon stop and let
he milking go on. By and by it will
be sufficient to put the ~spancel on the
floor by the feet, and in a few days can
be left off altogether. The use of this
with kindness and gentleness will cure
the worst kickers, at least we have had
some bad ones at times. but never failed
to cure all Of them. But although the
cow may not be cured, the milking may
be done safely WeStern Farm Jour-

THE DAIRY.

There is much cheap philosophy
written about milk, but no one seems
to know why cream rises in twelve
hours, through twenty inches of milk
set at ~forty-five degrees, when it re-
quires forty eight hours for it TO get
through three inches when set at sew
enty degrees.
The editor of the Dairy thinks that
soiling must of necessity become the
common practice on land of a high val
nc. To draw a line, as must be done
somewhere, he thinks land worth more
than twenty dollars per acre should not
be used wholly for pasturing. That if
one COW can be pastured on five acres
at this value, then it is clear that one
cow should be kept on n acre worth
800.
The practice of farmers, who take
their milk to cheese factories, of carry
ing home whey in their milk cans is
strongly condemned by an eastern
journal. The sour whey contains not
only the germs of acidity, but the
peculiar ferment of the rennet which,
unless more care than is usual is taken
to cleanse the cans, will contaminate
the milk when filled again. A barrel
can be used for carrying whey and all
LANCER from this sourceeavoided.
Some of our contemporaries are
still laboring with the cause of white
specks in butter. We always thought
they were caused by the casino being
acted upon by soul cream, which forms
the curds in cream just as rennet does
in a vat of milk. So far we have had
no reason to alter our opinion, though
we suppose thus accounting for white
specks is too simple for u scientific
friends.-1he Dairyman.
The Utica Herald tells of a dairy
man who was troubled with the smell
of garlic Or wild onion in his milk. To
obviate this he put the COWS in the sta
BILE at about three o'clock each after
noon, and fed on hay and gave grain as
usual. The result was all he antici,
pated. A rest of three hours allowed
the scent to pass off in the other secre.
tons. though previously it very
strongly favored both milk and butter.
This is an old remedy, and a good one,
though mo- always completely success
full.

The Highest Of Waterfalls.

Some years ago Niagara was supposed
to be the nos magnificent waterfall in
the world, but recent African explorers
discovered that the falls on the river
Zambesi, known as the Victoria, are even
more wonderful than the famous Ameri-
can waterfall. And now comes the news
that in Washington Territory there ex-
lists what is, in some respects, Che most
marvellous cataract in the world. 1t is
on the Cowltz river, and the fall is fully
1900 feet high. It has not yet been
fully explored. There is also waterfall
in Wyoming Territory ATS feet high,
which is said to be a very wonderful cat
aAct of It's kind. The remarkable new
ness of our country is shown BY the fact
that these great natural curiositia have
not as yet been thoroughly examined by
white men.-Demorests Monthly.

Can q Viper Commit Suicide?

Having occasionally caught a viper,
and kept it for a time in a glass case,
one of the plate-layers called me last
Thursday and said ssthere was a fine
Long Cripple Ga local name for a SER
pent of any kind) lying IN a bank a few
yards down the line" 1 went to the
place indicated, and there was a very
large viper basking in the sun, but
when l got near it began to move
away, and, to prevent its escape, /
gently pressed a stick across it while I
sent the man to fetch a glass jar to Sc
Guile it in; but when it found its prog
ress arrested, it began in a very spiteful
manner to dart It's nose forward, strik-
ing at the stick and stones and any
thing that was within its reach, but I
could not see that it opened its mouth
to make a real bite; but when it found
with all its wriggling and twisting it
was unable to free itself, it turned its
head round upon itself, and about four
inches from the head it opened its jaws
and gave itself a bite, and when the fangs
were well into the skin, it gave an ex-
ira squeeze, as if it intended to make
sure that the operation should be
thoroughly and effectively performed.
1t then deliberately withdrew it's
fangs, and in so doing it turned it's
head first one way and then the other,
so as to withdraw one fang at a time.
Its head then went forward, and it's
body and tail became straight, and
there lay the viper apparently ~lifeless,
but 1 noticed a slight tremor in the skin
and scales, which gradually passed from
the head to the end of the tail. l took
it up with my hand and placed it in the
glass jar, and stood the jar in the win
dow where the rays of the sun were hot,
and in twenty-five minutes the viper
began to show signs of life, and in an
hour it was as lively as if nothing had
happened.
I should be glad to know whether it
has come to the knowledge of any of the
readers of Nature that any human being
or any animal has died from the bite of
a viper. In my boyhood l have known
sheep being bitten in the under jaw near
the lip, and the animals head had
swollen very large, but invariably the
sheep were well again when seen early
on the following morning.
Some twenty years ago 1 saw a man
who had been bitten in the hand by a
viper, and his armed swelled and turned
purple in places, and he was sick and
faint for some hours, but he told me he
was as well twenty-four hours after the
bite as he was before. r.. Ldngdon, in

Praying Against Time.

Talking against time is common in
Congress, but praying against time is
the device of a clever Brooklyn child,
who will know how to get her rights
when she comes in sight of them.
The fire burned low in the Franklin
stove, the cat was asleep on the rug,
and not a mouse stirred behind the
wainscot as the mother wrote by a
shaded lamp with a noiseless pen. All
the house put on slippers of velvet
when little Rose went to bed, for sleep
and she were enemies, and she fought
him to the last eye-lash. Her voice
came from the bedroom now with no
SOUND of surrender in it. 1t was better
to be at prayer than to be asleep, and,
of course, no one could reprove her for
praying.

so that we can 60 to Heaven at last, for
Jesus sake. Amen"
There was a short pause, and then
the wide-awake, defiant voice went on:
keep grandma from dying before
she gets here. Don't let anything hap
pen to her. Don't let any bears or wild
beasts eat me up. Bless grandpa and
grandma and Mr.. Charles Swan, and
Aunt Kate and Aunt Sophia"
Another pause, a little longer than
the first, and the unconquered began
again:

papa is here, for it grieves him to have
me naughty, and he buys me things

A yawn, a long-drawn breath, and
then silence presently announced that
the last prayer was answered, and sleep
reigned.-Haiper's Magazine.

Why Prices for Butter Are Low.

The Ohio Farmer, in considering
some of the causes that operate against
uniform prices for dairy goods, includ-
ing inequality of production, forced
sales of short-lived summer butter, the
inability to make a good, cheap and
bookkeeping article for export, etc,
sums up the situation as follows:
The remedy can only be found in a
yet better grade of goods, and made at
all seasons of the year, so as to be fresh,
and of decided favor and quality. The
better quality implies better apparatus
1t the farm dairy, or. cooperation, and
hat conducted bymakers who are thor
oroughly conversant with their bust
ess, and not managed by ~novices who
do not understand n principle of the
science that underlies the working of
dairy goods. Such goods do not need
to be consumed the day after they are
made to keep them from spelling, and
they give both dealer and consume
confidence in the article. The future of
dairying is n of promise. for these
matters will, in a measure, right them
selves, and there must also be a demand
that will both enlarge rs it relates to
the average consumption of each in
dividual, but also as governed by our
rapidly augmenting population. Fig
ured at present rates, we must needs
increase the production of butter alone
nearly 80, 900 pounds each year to
meet the needed supply of u rapidly
increasing population. If no poor but
ter vas made, and this is a good keeper,
it would force out the $50, 600, 000pounds
of bogus products made in this country,
and give abundant relief from our pres
ent o~ver-crowded market.
