That feels as If I'd lost part

On musics wing that once was borne,
Is missed, and things look SO forlorn? $500.

And all the world curse and abuse,

And turns her nose up with toss.
And looks at me internal cross.

About Creamery Butter.

A lady sends us the following inquiry.
which is one that is often asked:
''Will some of your readers please
express their thoughts on the subject Of
creamery butter. that is, if it will keep
as well as the old way of making it, and
if it can be packed and kept from now
until winterp"
In answer to the above inquiry, Mr..
D. w. Curtis, Secretary of the Wiscon-
sin Dairyman's Association, at our re-
quest, replies as follows:
There is no reason in the world why
creamery butter, if properly made from
good cream, should not keep as well as
butter made in the old way and until
winter and even longer if necessary.
Zone of the reasons why we do not
hear more of creamery butter being
kept is that the cream. as q general
thing, has to be paid for each month,
which necessitates the selling of the but,
ter, and the demand all of the time ID
for fresh butter
1.-The public are being educated to
eat fresh made butter, and that which
is kept for six months is very many
times off flavor and unsaleable. Yet
there is no reason why butter made in
June, either creamery or dairy, should
not be leept sweet and nice for six
months or longer" Farm. Field ~

The Siderable French Balloon,

Messrs. Renard and Krebs' reported
discovery of a Siderable balloon, occu-
pied the Paris Academy of Sciences
again recently. A letter was read from
M. Dupuy de LONE, member of the
laborer in the science of aeronautics.
1t is, in fact, by the principles laid
down by NJ. Dupuy de LONE that
Messrs. Renard and Krebs have been
guided in the construction of their bal
loon. In the letter referred to, M. Du-
puy de LONE affirms that his own ex-
periments in 1875. -conclusively proved
the practicability- of guiding balloons
in horizontal direction. His ma
chinery, however, did not permit a
greater speed than ten kilometres an
hour, and this was not sufficient in face
of a wind of any superior degree
OF velocity. Messrs. Renard and
Krebs will, however. says M. de
LONE, employ, in an experiment to
be made at an early date, a motor of .
double power to that which he had
used, and attain speed of twenty-five
kilometres per hour. The great prog
ress made is, he adds, the invention
of a machine which, including batteries
and accessories, weighs only five
hundred and sixty kilogrammes. M.
Dupuy de LONE expresses himself alto
gether as very sanguine upon the
achievements of his fellow laborers,
but it will seem to most people that
light as the new electric machinery
may be in comparison with that hitherto
experimental with, a weight of five
hundred and sixty kilogrammes is a
dangerously large proportion of the
total weight, namely, two Thousand
kilogrammes, Of Messrs. Renard and
Krebs' balloon. Various explanations
are given Of the reasons preventing the
aerial voyage from Meudon to Paris
last Saturday, which thousands of per.
sons had assembled to witness. The
truth is, that in the previous experiment
the machinery had been damaged and
some notifications of detail had been
judged desirable before further expert
ments were nndertaken.-Losdon

Beef Production and the Dairy.

Beef production can only be extended
in legitimate way by the more uni
versal promotion of dairy husbandry.
We must have more cows and calves
before we can expect to have larger
number of fat beeves. Meat scarcity
for some years past and its consequent
high price have cOnfessedly resulted
from an absence of store animals we'll
adapted for grazing purposes, and con-
seauently deficient in the raw material.
The two great interests of dairy farm
ing and meat production are dove-tailed
closely together, and, to begin at the
beginning, those who would increase
the home meat supply must first of all
encourage the dairy interest. Arabic
dairying is an enterprise which has only
been very slightly attempted by English
farmers up to the present, and yet
nothing would be more likely to pay
better. The dairymen of Normandy,
Brittany and the Scandinavian Islands,
who export such delicious fresh butter,
have few permanent pastures, their
cows being chiefly fed on green crops
from the arabic fields in sum-
mer and roots and fodder
from the tillage fields in winter.
British farmers almost universally
might remuneratively adopt the same
tactics, especially now that corn grow.
ing has become so thoroughly unprofit.
able, and the belief is so current that
British husbandry has fallen on evil
days, and is on the high road to ruin.
There must be more dairy factories es.
tablished as an encouragement for
farmers, whether occupiers of small,
mediums sized, or larger farms, to keep
dairy cows in larger numbers. The
new artificial milk substitutes should
be employed in calf-rearing. A prodig-
ious increase in the home beef supply
would follow as matter of course, es-
pecially by the enlightened modern
system of grazing being pursued that
of fattening the young animal while
growing from calfdom itself, thereby
allowing no cessation in the onward de-
velopment from the nome Mt it COM
mences taking solid food until fully
ripe for slaughter. By adopting this
oughly fit for the shambles SO as to pull
down the scales almost as weightily at
from twenty to twonty-four months old
as according to the old way of effect
ing things they used to do at the age OF
three years. Such a system secures
economy in every respect. If a year
can be saved in bringing an animal to
maturity at the same weight, 1t is very
easy to understand that he would sac
rifce much less food during existence;
and as such early maturity and rapid
production cab not be insured without

Weaving Rabbits Wool

Yesterday drove to St. Innocents
to see the Apgora rabbits, whose
fur furnishes . soft and spinnable
wool. out Of which the peasants
make . quantity of warm gar
ments. 1t was curious to see the
peasant girl take the rabbit fur in her
fingers, and then adding it to her
thread, go on spinning the coarse yarn
out Of it on long spinning wheel. We
then went in to see the rabbits; pretty
creatures with large opal eyes and very
long fur, exceedingly soft. They are
..piucked" alive, and the process is said
not to hurt them. Indeed, they are SO
fluffy that perhaps it is relief. Some
were black, others white and others
gray. noticed no other colors. This
fur is not only spun, but is crocheted
and knitted into coarse canvas. The
finished goods are very expensive, and
I did not think them equal to wooden
articles OF corresponding grades. They
are curious, and visitors to AK feel
bound to carry away some little speci-
men or other of this rather anomalous
rabbit work. Cor. Boston Traveller.

THE DAIRY.

Apples may be fed to COWS in con.
siderable quantities with the effect OF
increasing the milk, but it will be best
to begin with small quantities first and
gradually increase the ration Ceue-
land Leader.
I'm order to secure perfectly clean
milk great care must be exercised in
removing all filth from the sides and
from the udder of the COW before milk
ing. The stable must be kept neat and
clean. A foul smelling stable will faint
the milk during the process of milking.
Albany Journal.
1t is good plan in churning not to
put in the two or three last. messes OF
cream. II churning has to be done
every day, it should be of the cream
gathered twenty-four to forty eight
hours before. In small diaries the cream
should be stirred slightly every day to
prevent danger of injury from mould.
Boston Globe.
If a COW is troublesome milking be-
cause she kicks, the first thing to do is
TO find out whether the fault is the cows
or the mixers, and, if the latter, at
once discharge him. The operation Of
milking is relief to the coy, and il she
is properly handled quietness will re-
suit. But no COW can be expected to
remain quiet when every pull at her
teats results in pain. She kicks as a
matter of instinct, and brutal treatment
by way of punishment only makes mat
ters worse.-Loutsvill Courier-Joar-
nal.
"A mixer should learn to milk
quickly. Slow milking will ruin any
COW, and there is little doubt that many
cows are made improbable by bad
milking. As soon as the How of milk
begins 1t should be drawn as rapidly as
possible. Stripping with the finger and
thumb is a bad practice, and should be
unlearned at once, and the whole hand
learned to milk with. By,perseverihg onc

The sudden loss of milk Sin a COW
indicates serious disturbance of the
system, which may be caused in several
ways. Indigestion, resulting. in alb

duct of milk; fevers which disorder the
blood and cause waste of heat will
also have the same effect. When the
