FARM NOTES.

DAIRY PRoDuCrs.-Farmers are wont
to complain of small profits when they
get the lulI market price OF their pro-
ducts in hand. But a very unwise GUS
tom prevails in many dairy districts OF
selling butter and cheese on time, or OF
selling through commission houses, an
the latter is a still more vicious practice
than time sales AT q stipulated price.
Why should farmers furnish these mid
die men with capital to do business on
e~ratuitously2 1t Is the merest pretense
that there is not capital ehough to han-
die these goods for cash. The grain
crop is not purchased on credit or sold
for farmers ON commission. nor is the
great in live stock carried OF
in this way. Every season brings re-
ports Of distress among dairy farmers in
certain districts by the failure OF COM
mission men. 1t is the farlt of farmers
that there are SO Jew middle men OF
any safe capital to do business on. The
ease of obtaining consignments has led
hundreds of men without capital to set
up as commission merchants. These
merchants have nothing to lose, and they
seem to enjoy handling the capital in
trusted to them by these conhding far
mers, and live on the top shelf till the
difference between their real income
and their expenditures brings them to
the inevitable failure, involving hun.
dreds of dairy farmers in the loss a. a
large share of the years product of their
herds. All sorts of excuses are made
for the unfortunate commission mer-
chant, who has lost nothing of his own
except tho unmerlted confidence Of the
deluded dairymen. But, astonishing as
1t may seem, these dairymen go right
on the next year, and furnish capital for
some other adventurer to repeat the
game. Occasionally a shrewd and
economical business man uses this capt.
tai intrusted to him fairly. and thus
succeeds in establishing a safe business
and building up a safe capital. But
this result is rare. All farm products
are better than an uncertain promise to
pay. Let farmers learn to hold their
products till they can exchange them
for cash.

The difficulties experienced by
draughtsmen on account of the shrink
age of paper. a correspondent of a for
elgn paper says, may be overcome by a
system which he has adopted for many
years. ALI drawing paper is ruled with
very faint lines to either o~ne-quarter or
one-fifth inch scale, and the drawings
are made to correspond with these lines.
Whatever the alteration in size or form
of the paper the variation in any square
of one-quarter or one fifth inch is a
matter of no importance, and the draw
ing and scale both being on the same
base u ready and certain mean of cor
rection always exists.

EARLY SHEEP SHEARINa.--Many far
mers are fayoring the eai Tier shearing
of sheep. as enabling them to get wool
which might otherwise be shed IN the
pasture, and as likely to preserve their
flock in better health than if shearing
were delayed until June. Here upon
the Agriculturist remarks: "While
this may be true under certain condi-
tions, especially such as not Washing
before shearing and the providing
warm shelter for them after shearing,
and even blanketing if there chance to
be an ezra cold May storm, soon after
the wool is taken off, yet under reverse
conditions there might be great loss
from the sheep catching cold. Farmers
should not be in too much haste to for
sake customs which they have followed
with success, until they have carefully
studied the requisites to success under
the new plan. The old route is the
safest for those who do not know the
channel in the new.
