FOR THE DAIRYlIAN.

The introduction of the creamery has
wrought a wonderful revolution in dairy
methods. Scarcely ten years have passed
since cooperative butter-making came
into vogue. Yet in that brief time the
butter product of Iowa has been raised
from only million pounds annually to
almost 100000 in 1884; from a few
hundred thousand COWS to 100000 in
tern grease" TO a superior article of
iowa gilt-edge butter" and from a mere
pittance to a handsome price per pound.
Cows have nearly doubled in average
value. The acreage Of pasturage was
greatly increased, which rests the soil
and the farmer.

BREEDING PIGS.

If SOW produces two litters each year
1t follows that during two-thirds of the
time the energies of her system are di-
rected to the growth of these filters be-
fore farrOwing. This leaves only four
mOnths Of the year to suckIe the two
filters, or only the length usually al
lowed for one. 1t sometimes happen
that sOWs are bred soon after they have
farrOWed, and are thus required to carry
one litter while sucking another. But
this always results In the diminished
thrift of one litter or the other, and often
in the injury Of both, as well as the SOW

The Profits Of Inventors.
American AIechanisL

American M6chan1SE.
Occasionally we hear Of some lucky in
YentOr who makes a fortune from an in
Vention secured to him by a patent We
are now likely to hear much Of those
who lose whatever they invest in that
direction. Sometimes we hear of a mer-
chant whose profits have been abnOr-
mally large, and once in a while q manu-
facturer gets rich, but no one thinks of
taking exceptions. These are all-inVenz
tor, merchant and manufacturers
tiOnal cases; and the inventor alone is
judged by the exception rather than the
rule. Probably not one in ten Of the
patents Issued is ever heard from after
ward, and of those that do find some
kind of a footing, in about nine cases out
of ten it would have been better for the
inventor and those interested with him
if they had been abandoned. If those
who are anxious to show up what they
call the monopoly of invention will take
the trouble to divide all they can charge
in the way of profits to pateL Is by the
total number Of patentees they viii not
find the quotient alarmingly large. In
the Official Gazette of July II the number
of the last patent recorded is 322, 1856. If
all the profits arising from patents were
accounted for, and from this the cost,
actual and Incidental, deducted, the sum
left to divide would in all probability be
a minus quantity. A good deal Of the
progress of the country is due to inVen-
ton, Notwithstanding which inventors,
as a class, are poorly paid, if paid at all,
which seems doubtful.

A wEsrERN VOLCANO.
Yirginia - Chroniele.

Virginia City Chronicle
A volcano has broken forth in the
mountains sixty miles southwest of
Bishop creek. A party Of frightened
sheep herders rode into CandelaFia a few
days ago covered with dust and ashes,
and with numerous holes burned In their
clothing. They reported that on Satur-
day they were startled by an unusual
rumbing noise and trembling of the
ground. Al first they mistook the noise
and rumbling for thunder, but 1t was
quickly followed by a tremendous ex-
plOsiOn, and on looking up they were
appalled, at seeing a mountain not far
away belChing forth a column Of flames
and smoke several hundred feet In
height. The air was soon filed with
fiery cinders and hot ashes, which came
down upOn themin clouds. The affreight-
ed men Immediately drove their sheep
In g place Of safety and rode to the near
est settlement with the startling neWs.
Several exploring parties have gone to
the scene Of eruption. A bright pink
glow noticed In the hirizOn at Virginia
City for several nights is believed to
have been caused by the eruption.

Superstition in Russia.
New YORK Evening Post.

New York Evening Post
Two curious cases of superstition are
reported from Russia. The other day a
coffin was seen floating in the Dniester.
it was brought ashore and found to con
tain the corps of a man whose feet had
been cut of. A peasant explained the
case as follows: His uncle having died
some time previously, several peasants
claimed to have seen his ghost walking
about, and an old woman predicted that
there would be no rain while the corpse
remained in the cemetery. So 1t was
dug out, the feet cut off to prevent the
ghost from walking about, and the coffin
set adrift on the river. The second case
shows that the belief in WitChcraft still
exists. A great drought in Chersson was
attributed to the evil agency Of two WO-
men who were regarded as witches.
They were officially called upon to pro-
duce ram by June IL, and when this
failed they were ducked In the river.
The witches seemed to enjoy this, and
remarked that now they would refuse
rain altogether. This raised such a dis
turbance among the populace that the
women had to be protected by the pO-
lice.

The treatment usually practiced foI
scab In sheep is to steep one pound OF
tobacco in a gallon Of boiling hot water;
then add four ounces flowers of sulphur
and stir frequently until the LIQUID is
cooled to 12Oo. 1t is then poured over
the sheep, along the back, and as it
runs down rub it in the scabby part
with the hand, using also a corn cob to
break up the scabs. The same treat

being infected. Apply once or twice,
and then keep the sheep in a dry place
for a few days.

ENGLISH CHEEsE,lAKERs ROUTED

New YORK Herald
The Times at last makes public facts,
which have long been quietly known:
A great blow has fallen upon English
agricultural in the destruction Of the
profit hitherto realized from the manu-
facture Of high quality cheese. American
competition has at last ruined the pros
poets of the skilled and indefatigable
dairy farmers Of Cheshire, prices having
fallen from u.s., to 20s per hundred
weight, bringing down the market to
figures at which it would not be remune-
ratiVe to continue business. What effect
this may have upon husbandry and the
great cheese-making centres in England
can not be calculated, but a great reduc-
ton in the value of dairy farms may be
expected. 1t cannot be said that su-
periOr qualitity in production is a rem
edy for improbable cheese-making for
the overwhelming fall has occurred 10
the price Of the very best Cheshire.
Farmers are dismayed at the outlook for
the very branch of husbandry which
has been regarded as the mainstay OF
British agriculture. If dairying goes
every resource of our agricultural classes
must collapse.
With such admitted facts from so high
a source it is no longer necessary for
Central New York to ship Caynga, Otse-
60 and ChenangO cheese to England to
return as Cheshire. This now confessed
result was long ago predicted by Horatio
Seymour.
