To FATTEN A Poor HORSE. Many
good horses devour large quantities of
grain or hay, and still continue thin
and poor the food eaten is not proper
ly assimilated. If the usual food has
0een uuground grain and hay, nothing
but a change will effect any desirable
alteration in the appearance of the al
imal, In case oil meal cannot be ob.
taiued readily, mingle a bushel OF flax
seed with a bushel of Indian corn. and
let it be ground into fine meal. This
vail be a fair proportion for all his seed.
Or. the meal, or the barley, oats and
corn, in equal quantities, may first be
procured, and one-fOurth part of oll
cake mingled with ii when the meal is
sprinkied on cut feed.
Feed two or three quarts of the mix
ture three times a day, mingled with a
peck of cut hay and straw. If the
horse will eat that greedIly, let the
quantity be gradually,incTeased until he
eats four or six quarts At every feeding
three times day. SO long as the ami
NAL will eat this allowance, the quanti-
ty may be increased little every day.
But avoid the practice of allowing a
horse 10 stand at a rack well filed with
hay. In order to fatten a horse that
has run down in lesh, the groom should
be very careful to feed the animal no
more than he will eat up clean and lick
his mangeT for more.

RULES FOR BUTTER-MAKING.

An experienced dairyman of central
New York has issued a pamphlet de-
scribing his method of making butter.
A few brief rules from this pamphlet
are given below:
Feed literally have pure water al
ways accessible, and keep mixture of
equal parts of salt, ashes and sulphur
within reach of the cows.
Be sure your stables are thoroughly
ventilated, remove all droppings imme-
diately, and freely use absorbents and
deodOrizers- as sawdust, dry earth
or cut straw, never omitting a liberal
use of plaster.
When milk Is kept over night to be
carried to the factory, the temperature
should be reduced as low as sixty de.
gTees.
If the milk is set at home for cream,
the sooner it can be set after milking
and the higher the temperature the
better, as the cream rises best and almost
wholly while the temperature is falling.
Never reduce the temperature below
forty degrees as it has tendency te
chill the product and injure its keeping
quality, and it also expands the water,
rendering Its relative density less in
stead of greater. To go five degrees
below forty degrees would have practi-
caliy the same effect as raising the tenn
perature five degrees, and to that ex-
tent retaTdiug the rising of the cream.
Skim as soon as the cream is all up or
so much of it as you wish to take from
the milk.
Keep your cream, if not churned i'm
mediately, at te temperature of sixty
four degrees, or below, but not below
forty degrees.
Churn at such temperature between
ffty-fve and sixty four degrees, as ex-
perience shows you is best. Conditions
vary the temperature for churning.
Stop churning when the butter is in
granules about the size of a wheat ker-
mel
Draw off the butteTmilk aid wash in |
clean waller before gathering the butter, |
until it runs clear. If one washing is \
in brine it is all the better, as brine CO.
agulates the cheesy matter, which dis
solves and is then washed out.
Salt to suit the customers, using none
but refined salt. The best American
salt is as good as any
Put up in such packages as are de-
manded by your market. If for long
keeping, pack in firkins and set in a
cool, sweet place, and keep the butter
covered with brine.
Air and cool your milk as fast as DOS
l0le, down to at least seventy degrees
you carry it any distance to facto-
y or creamery. Do the same if you
make it into cheese at home, though
'ou need not go below eighty degrees if
'ou make it up Immediately.

M o K-BLIEDNEss.- s.-'' 'Moon-blind-

WINTER MANAGEMENT OF MANURE.

WINTER MANAGEMENT OF MANURE.
IN excellent field for winter work is
the barnyard. Much may be done there
by skillfui management. Manure, so
long as it is frozen, remains unchanged,
and the preparation of the manure, in
the best manner for use in the spring,
makes no progress. Make a central
heap in the yard, and, by means of a
plank runway, If necessary, and a wheel
barrow, move the manure from the sta
Die each day to this heap. If the heap
is built up square and made four feet
high, il will keep warm in the coldest
weather, and while warm will ferment
and rot. Mixed alternately with muck
in large compost heap, however, it is
much more profitable.-Anerican Home
