FARM AND HOUSEHOLD,
Winter Dairying.

ssAAACoA A]~AA AA6s
The New England Farmer is of the
opinion that winter dairying pays best,
butter has been in over supply during
the spring and early summer months,
and consequently prices have gone be-
low the point of profitable manufacture.
So, again, every winter, the price has
gone up to comparatively high figure
for strictly fine new made goods. A
good many shrewd farmers have taken
advantage of the uniformly high prices
in winter, and have arranged to meet
the demand, but the large majority
still continue in the old way of making
all their butter in the summer season
on the grass or other green food, with
no other reason for their practice than
the fact that they have always done So
Very nearly as good butter can be
made in winter on good fodder and
grain as can be made in summer, and
the difference in cost is hardly appre-
ciable. Indeed we much prefer win
ter dairy to a summer dairy. In WIN
ter it is easy keeping milk warm by a
little extra fire heat, while in summer a
considerable expense must be incurred
for ice to keep it cool.
There is no time in the wear when
farmers can better attend to dairy work
than in the winter, and no time when
they can better afford to have their
COWS 60 dry than in the early summer,
when the work of planting, hOeing and
haying are driving. Nor is there
any better time to raise calves. than
in the early autumn. Extra good
butter usually begins to advance in
price after severe hot weather sets in
and when dairymen of ordinary skill
and those who have no conveniences
for making good butter, find it easier
to make cheese, sell milk, or fat veal.
If all dairymen were to change to win
ter dairying, there would be no sur
plus and no low prices in the SPRING;
but all dairymen will not change, be-
cause it costs something to make
changes. Our advice is to keep the
COWS farrow for few months, and plan
to have them come in milk again next
year, not earlier than the first of July,
and from that time till October or
November.
The American Agriculturist also
advises in favor of winter dairying.
The necessities for the business are few,
and are easily provided. They are:
plenty of good hay and fodder, with
roots and supplementary food, which is
cheaper now than at any other time,
because it is in season, and is
abundant; an airy dairy house, warmed
to an even temperature by stove,
avoids every difficulty, and the dairy
man is in full control of everything
needed for the best management of his
business, instead of fighting flies, torrid
heats, dry weather, and every other
difficulty, as in summer.

his milk. This he can do in a variety
of ways. One way of doing so lies in
the Improvement of his milking stock.
This is certain but slow way, and
must be the work of a few years.
And then another way, more rapid,
and that can at once be available, con-
sists in reducing the cost of keeping
his COWS.
This, again, he may do in differ
ent ways; first, by securing greater
warmth and more comfort for his COWS
in winter. The heaviest item of ex-
pense which he incurs consists in win
tering his cows, and the more thew are
exposed to the cold, the heavier that
item becomes. Cows eat more in win
ter than at any other time, simply be-
cause more heat is absorbed from their
bodies by the cold air. For instance,
we all know that hot water will cool
faster on q cold day than on a warm
one. Therefore the animal heat must
be kept up to a uniform stan dard,
and the extra loss of warmth must be
restored by more fuel. in form of feed,
and this increases the cost of keeping
and the cost of producing the fall and
winter supply of milk. Keep the COWS
warm, and they will eat no more in the
winter than at any other time, and
they will require less extra food for
winter, just in proportion as they are
made warm and comfortable, and by
just so much they will turn out milk at
reduced expense. There is profit in
keeping COWS warm in winter. 1t
costs much less to tone down the cold
OF our severe climate by providing
warm, comfortable buildings for the
COWS. If the owner has not secured
them already, the sooner he gets them
the better, and not be furnishing extra
food, year after year, to restore the
heat needlessiy lost by the exposure of

The Poultry Monthly has the follow

good time to whitewash the poultry
house. and clean up generally. During
the heat OF summer one is apt to ne
glect the poultry house and coops, and
the various miasmas and filth that make
them unwholesome and dangerous to
the health of the fowls, accumulate
with great rapidity. to say nothing of
the astonishing multiplication of lice.
The hurry and worry of harvest is over,
and it is time to look after the poultry
quarters.

Bees Foretelling Thunderstorm.
The current number of Die Natur, a
Getman scientific journal, contains an
article by Herr Emmerig, of Laningen,
in German bees as storm warmers.
From numerous observations, the wri-
ter advances, tentatively, the theory
that on the approach of thrnderstorms
bees, otherwise gentle and harmless,
become excited and exceedingly irri-
table, and will at once attack anyone,
even their usual attendant, approaching
their hives. A succession Of instances
are given in which the barometer and
hygrometer foretold storm, the bees
remaining quiet, and no stormIoccurred,
or the Instruments gave no intimation
of a storm, but the bees for hours be-
fore were irritable, and the storm
came. He concludes, therefore, that
the conduct of bees is reliable indi-
cation whether a storm is impending
over certain district or not, and that
whatever the appearances, if bees are
still, one need not fear a storm. With
regard to rain merely, the barometer
and hygrometer are safer guides than
bees; not so, however, in the case of a
thunderstorm. Finally, the writer
trusts that his remarks on this subject
may lead to further observation. 1t
has long been noticed in this country
that bees were more irritable in autumn
than during spring and summer. 1t is
quite probable that this fact arises
from the more frequent prevalence of
storms at that season.

AiScrap-Bag for Wastes.

The American Agriculturist gives
the following instructions: The
materials required to make this
little receptacle for holding
burned matches, and other wastes, are
two yards of satin ribbon three inches
wide and of any color; a piece of card
board; spool of sewing silk, and a
small silk or chenille tassel matching
the ribbon in color. From the card
board cut four strips, four inches in
length, and two in width. Sew these
pieces together in the shape of box,
and fit a bottom to it of card board
The box is now ready for trimming,
which is done in the following manner.
Cut four strips of the satin ribbon, sew
en- inches in length, overland the
edges together with sewing silk on the
wrong side, then turn out and fit it over
the box, gathering it to point at the
bottom, and draw it to tit closely
around the top. One of the seams
should be placed at each corner. For
the handle use a strip of ribbon quar-
ter or three-ei ghths of yard in length,
Wv ~AAO w AAOAA SnCA oAUCs
and fringe about half an inch deep.
Then fasten securely to each side of
the box. Place on the top of the han
die a full satin bow. with fringed ends.
AT the bottom where the bag is gath
cred to point, the tassel is to be Sc
curely fastened. A full ruche of rib
bon finishes the edge around the top of
the box, the ribbon first having been
fringed out about a quarter of an inch
deep on each edge, as the handle has
been done. 1t can be made still pref
tier by painting graceful design of
flowers on each of the strips of ribbon
for the bag, before sewing them to-
gether, also a spray on the handle.
Another very odd way is to use two
materials of different coloring, for ex-
ample, crimson plush, and gold-colored
satin, alternate strips of each. Cav
flowers may be painted or embroidered
on the satin, such as peoples, or car
nations. Should blue satin and gold
plush be used, daisies are very pretty
for the decoration.
