Buttermilk as a Beverage.

For summer beverage nothing can be
more healthful and strengthening than but
termilk 1t is excellent for weak and deli
cate stomachs, and far better as a dinner
drink than coffee, tea or water, and unlike
them. does not retard but rather aids diges-
ton. A celebrated physician once said that
if every one knew the value of buttermilk
as a drink, it would be more freely partaken
of by persons who drink so excessively of
other beverages and he further compared
its effects upon the system to the cleaning
out of a cook-stoye that has been clogged up
with ashes that have sifted through, filling
up every crevice and crack, saving the hu-
man system is like a stove and collects and
gathers refuse matter that can in no way be
exterminated from the system so eifectusily
as by drinking buttermilk. 1t is also spe-
cifc remedy for indigestion, soothes and
quiets the nerves, and is very somnolent TO
those who are troubled with seeplessness.
There is something strange in the fact that
persons who are fond of buttermilk never
tire Of singing It's praises, while those who
are not fond of 1t never weary Of wondering
how some people can drink it. So far as
possible, people should overcome their aver
sion to it, and learn to drink ii for heaith's
sake

Cows.

If the cows leak their milk when coming
home from the pasture at night, it will
probably pay To milk three times a day
while the pasture holds good. DO not try
to milk too rapidly. Many cows, or es-
pecially young heifers. are injured by the
rude grasp Of some strong handed farmer,
who takes pride in milking rapidly. When
the udder and teats are unusually distended
by large flow of milk, they are tender, and
1t is possible to rupture some Of the milk
glands or the passage by attempting to force
out the milk faster than the size os the
oriice will allow. Milk steadily, and try to
keep the flow as nearly continuous as pos
slhle. While stripping out the last drop do
not put out strength enough to squeeze the
juice out of an apple.

Hay-Making.

In hay making in general the stack or
NOW should be covered one foot or more in
depth with dry straw. Some moisture will
evaporate daily fos several weeks after cut
ting and storing. In the bright sunshine
the moisture will pass off into the air, but at
night, unless the surface is covered with
some perfectly dry material, it will condense
so soon as il meets the currents of colder
air The lack Of this precaution is the oc-
casion of heavy losses both in nay and grain
We have occasionally seen thoughtless
farmers throw a few forkfus of wet nav or
grain on top Of NOW, with the idea that
sucn position was the best place to facili-
tate its driving. On the contrary, damp hay
thus placed will usually We, down and spoil
more fodder than was contained in the lot
originally damaged. If there is any part of
the field of hay not fully dried. it may be
placed at the bottom of the NOV with little
danger Of injury if sufficient quantity of
thoroughly dried material is pitched upon it
to absorb the mosture.-Er

Winter Rye.

The winter rye that is to be cured for
hay, should be cut before it comes into
bloom. If the weather is favorable, it will
make about as fast let alone after cutting
until it is pretty well wilted, or merely
turned in the swath once or twice.
1t does not pay to handle very much
the first day or two after cutting there
is too much water to be lifted. Rye is so
greasy, like cabbage, that shower does no
wet it in much but the last day, before
carting in, it should be kept constantly
stirred by the tedder. 1t can not be too
dry to keep we'll in the NOV. If the weather
proves bad, the crop may still be cured for
cattle bedding, and be well worth raising for
this use.

LETTUCE.-Lettuce can be served in per-
lection from May to October. 1t only needs
little care to serve good heads every
week in the summer. Sow the seeds every
two or three weeks, and thus keep fresh
plants. Make the bed very rich with ma
nure, and select shady location. Thin out
the plants to six inches apart. Keep the
plants well watered in dry weather, and to
prevent them from heading lay shingles or
strips of laths over them.

PIGs.-The practice of some of the best
farmers now is to keep pigs through the
summer on green food. cut and carried to
the pens, with little grain, and what milk
can be spared after butter making. Spring
pigs are thus made to weigh POO pounds at
seven months old, and, except in the last
month. they get little grain. The best time
to sell such pigs is at the beginning of cold
weather, usually in October.

Pacific COAST EXTENSION OF THE
UNION PACIFIC.

OMAHA, Feb. 15.-The Tribune has
pointed out that the Union Pacific Rail-
way must eventually build An indie
pendent line to the Pacific coast, and
information gained by your correspon-
lent is conclusive that this step has
oeen determined upon, and that OF the
three routes which have been under
consideration that heading to the north
vest has been chosen, the route to Port
and, Or, having been next in favor. 1t
IS pretty well understood that while the
original project of the Union Pacific
Was to build from the initial point of the
Oregon Short Line at Granger, Wy. L.,
(wsere it starts from the main liue),
she Uuion Pacific did not enter upon
construction until it had made surveys
Of three feasible routes to tide water,
md one OF these routes was to Seattle,
". T., Oh Puget Sound; another to Port
land; while the third traversed q mid
die ground. However. Mr. Willard of
The Oregon Railway d. Navigation Com
Dsny agreed TO build TO Baker City, Or,
md there connect with the Union Pa
,lfis, following the course of the Column
oia from Portland to Umatilla. Since
nat time MIR. Willard has become the
holder of large amount of Northern
Pacific stock. and it has been apparent
that he was not anxious to carry out the
arrangements, but instead has placed a
force of 500 Chinese laborers at work
east of Baker City and in territory nat
lrAlly falling to the share of the Union
Pacific, the iaborers being now eng ,ged
IN making a road to Boise City, Idaho.
The idea of running line into the in
.erior of Oregon and no further has
been one that the Uaion Pacific could
uot abide" and already it has a large
force of surveyors busy at different
poiats on tue proposed route between
Baker City and Seattle. The Oregon
ohor: Line, when built through to the
latter point, will be about 1900 miles In
