FARM AND HOUSE.
Are Creamcries Profitable.

Prot. L. B. Arnold in the New York
Tribune says: Though ~creameries, as
generally carried on, fail to exact Justice
between their patrons, they are on the
whole profitable. While they make no
better butter than can be made In pri-
yate diaries, they make any as
poor as many of the private diaries do.
Creameries urn out butter of a uniform
grade and excellent in quality, while no
two diaries make butter alike, which
is very much against the commercial
value of dairy butter. No dealer car
pay as much for an assortment of all
kinds of butter as he can for butter of
uniform quality. On this account he
prefers to give from five to ten cents o
pound more for creamery than for da;
nv butter. No dealer can pay as much
for an assortment Of all kinds of butter
us he can for butter of uniform quality.
On this account he prefers to give from
five to ten cents a pound more for
creamery than for dairy butter, and
this difference makes the creamery sys-
tenn pay. The cost of manufacturing is
less at the creameries than
in the diaries, and the
former average more butter from a CIV
ell quantity Of milk, because they en-
ploy better appliances and more skill.
Creameries also pay by way Of relic wing
farmers wives and daughters ola very
great deal of very hard work. They
are, however, not 80 important in this
respect as they were a few years ago.
The improvements which have been
made of late in butter-making appli-
ances have made 1t possible to raise
cream quite as well and as perfectly on
the farm as it can be done anywhere,
and to do all the work of butter-making
with greater ease and with much less
labor than it was formerly done. The
greatest objection to the creamery sys-
ten is the general practice of estimating
rich and poor milk alike, making the
same returns to patrons for equal guam
titles of each, which is manifestly un-
just. This objection it is believed will
be obviated in time. Some Of the man
ayers of the cream-gathering system in
the west have adopted successfully u
more exact method OF distributing pro-
ceeds, and it is hoped and believed that
all will in time. In such an event
creameries will become a more impor-
tantlnstitution than they are at present.

extended travel he settled in Tunis, North
Africa, where he held the position of musl-
cal director for the hey, having charge Of
his orchestra. He married there q lady who

count of an epidemic. they settled at Con-
s~tantinople, and resided some years at the

Advance in Agriculture.

But few readers of farmers are aware
of the advance in agriculture in the past
fifty years, or within the recollection of
many of the older citizens. Fifty years
ago the only means of cutting the grain
harvest was the hand sickle. and Of cut
ting hay the hand scythe. The grain
was threshed with a fail, and the hay
raked with a hand rake. Grain was
cleaned by letting it fall and the wind
blowing out the chat, or by making wind
with a sheet,-those who lived in those
days recollect it without explanation.
Flows were mostly wood. the coulter,
snire n bar only being iron. The
mouldboard was wood exclusively. At
that day farming was conducted by
cultural newspapers to stir up the mind
to advance and improve.
Nor vas the absence of improved
agricultural implements the only him
trance to prosperous hushandry. There
was virtually no more attention paid to
the Improvement of stock. The cattle,
horses, hogs or sheep were a mixture
brought together from different coun-
ties. There was no more attention paid
to better stock than there is now in the
improvement of the human race. Nor
was there any particular age at which
steers or hogs could be prepared for
market. They grew slowly and fa.tened
lnditterently, and hid to be kept and fed
until they could be sold. They were
small and commanded a less price.
Fruits of all kinds were far inferior
to the present. Nearly all OF the
orchards OF apple, pear or peach We're
OF Inc natural fruit. If grating was
The varieties of grated fruit even in
the best orchards or nurseries were but
few. In the smaller fruits the same
was the case. None but the wild straw
berry were cultivated. If however,
they did not have such large ones as the
present, they We're rich, luscious and
highly favored, or our appetite was
better then than now There were no
improved raspberries OK Strawberries.
Nor has the advance been solely in
stock and fruits, but in vegetables there
has been a wonderful change for the
better. Potatoes, squashes, tomatoes,
beans, peas, melons, and all other class
es of garden vegetables have been so I'M
proved that if the kind which were
raised fifty years ago were offered in the
market nov they could not be sold at
any price. 1t seems almost incredible
elial JIG HoIlu Ill hi phSt ayes previous
to fifty years ago made so little effort at
improving anything intended for human
food, or the implements for producing
them.
When the writer first performed labor
on the farm, there was a continual strain
on the physical powers Of tho farmer.
And in the house, whether on the farm
or in town. the females Of the family

And there are needed improvements

be won, and riches to be accumulated in

A. Cheap StlO.

The Nashua Telegraph says: Last year
a farmer improvised a small silo by
sinking a molasses hogsbead into the
ground in his barn cellar. He cut up all
his corn fodder with a hay-cutter, sup
posing he had enough to fill about four
hogsheads, but on packing it found it
wouldn't fill one. He then bought Of
8 neighbor as much more as one horse
could draw, and still there was room.
He then cut up the stalks from a piece
of sweet corn, and with a lot of rowen
managed to fill his hogshead. He made
q close-itting cover, and with a jack
screw set under one of the floor tim
beers pressed 1t down as tight as possible.
In the middle Of december he opened his
silo, and found the corn as sweet and fra
grant as when put in. From the hogs
head he fed one COW half a bushel of en-
silage morning and night fortwo months,

A solderins Outft For Row

A great return for asmall investment
is realized by purchasing a small solder;
ing outfit for a boy. He becomes at
once a useful member of the family; old
basins and pans become as new after
the Transforming touch of his soldering
iron, and there are great possibilities in
tin cans, and small pieces of tin sugar sif-
tiers and tunnels are among them. I am
convinced that lack ofinteresting occupa-
ton is the prolific source of most bad
habits that an idle boy acquires; that
parents feel this, and many are likely to
fall int5 the error of providing too many
that the aim should be to give them
tools with which they may exercise the
Imagination, and with which they may
construct articles that do not yet exist.

From 1879 to 1882 the imports Of gold
exceeded the exports by $l55 ,200,0 600

to fill the hogshead with oats cut Just as

Rural readers Of small means may try
such a silo as this without mourning

with the results, a more %pretentious silo
may be constructed another year. A
