Are Creameries Profitable.

Prof l.. B. Arnold, in the New
York Tribune, says: Though
creameries, as generally carried on,
fail to do exact justice between
their patrons, they are on the whole
profitable. While they make no
better butter than can be made in
private diaries, they never make
any as poor as many of the private
diaries do. Cresmeries turn out
butter of a uniform grade and excel
lent in quality, while no two diaries
make butter alike, which ID very
much against the commercial value
of dairy butter No dealer can pay
as much for an assortment of sill
kinds of butter, as he can for butter
of uniform quality. On this ac-
count he prefers to give from five
to ten cents a pound more for
creamery than foI dairy butter,
and this difference makes the cream
cry system pay. The cost of man
ufacturing is less at the creameries
than in the diaries, and the former
average more butter from a given
quantity of milk because they en-
ploy better appliances and more
skill. Creameries also pay by way Of
relieving the farmers wives and
daughters of a great deal of hard
work. They are, however, not as
important in this respect as they
were few years ago. The improve
ments which have been made Of
late in butter-making appliances
have made it possible to raise cream
quite as we'll and as perfectly on
the farm as it can be done any
where, and to do all the work of
butter making with great ease and
with much less labor than it was
formerly done. The greatest OBJ
lection ito the creamery system is
the practice of estimating rich and
poor milk alike, making the same
returns to patrons for equal guam
titles of each, which is manifestly
unjust. The objection it is believed
will be obviated in time. Some
of the managers of the cream gath
ering system in the west have
adopted successfully a. more exact
method of distributing proceeds,
and it is hoped and believed that
all will in time. In such an event
creameries will become a more i'm
portant institution than they are
at present"

Glue. Paste, CT Mucilara.
Southern Lumberman.

Southern Lumberman.
Lchner publishes the following
formula for making a liquid paste
or glue from starch and acid. Place
five pounds of potato starch in six
pounds of water and add one-fourth
of 8 pound Of pure nitric acid.
Keep in warm place, stirring fire.
quently for forty sight hours. Then
boil the mixture till it forms a thick
and translucent substance. Dilute
with water, if necessary, and filter
through q thick cloth. At the same
time another paste Is made from
sugar and gum arabic. Dissolve
five pounds gum arabic and one
pound sugar in five pounds of wa
ter, and add one ounce nitric acid,
and heat to boiling. Then mix the
above with the starch paste. The
resultant paste is liquid, does not
mold, and dries on paper with \
gloss. 1t is useful for labels, wrap
pers and fine book binders use.
Dry pocket glue is made from II
parts of glue and five parts OF su-
gar. The glue is boiled until en-
tirely dissolved, the sugar dissolved
in the hot glue, and the mass evsp-
grated until it hardens on cooling.
The hard substance dissolves rapid
" in luke-warm water, and is sn ex
.ellent glue for use on paper.

Food For Winter,

The following bill of fare for
making hens lay is suggested by an
exchange:
The first meal should be given
at daylight, and consist OF corn
meal and wheat middiings, half and
half, mixed with milk. If milk is
not to be had, buy beef heads or
cracklings of the butcher, boil
them and mix with corn meal.
Season with a little salt and add
enough red pepper to give it r snap,
and feed warm. A pound of this
meat to ten hens would be fair al
lowauce, and less would be hester to
start with. Every morning one or
two basketfuis Of fresh chatf or nun
die of oats or wheat in the she&f
should be scattered on the floor to
keep them busy between meals
The noon meal should consist of q
mixture of cracked corn, oats,
wheat and buck wheat scattered in
the chaff and sand on the floor ot
their feeding room. BY four o'clock
they will be ready for the third
meal, which should consist of whole
corn warmed in the oven. An oc
casional lunch Of raw or boiled veg
tables would help along and Away;
acceptable. OF course we woulC
Keep graduated charcoal and oysteI
shells and gravel always before
them. Water with the chill takeI
off should be supplied both morn
! mo and afternoon.

1t is said that every twentieth
person in the CITY of Louisville has
the itch the old fashioned, "schaol
days, seven year" kind. The dac-
tors saws it is epidemic and will
spread all over the country. 1t is
easily cured, and for The benefit of
our readers who may come in con-
tact with it, We clip the following
relative TO it from the Louisville
Times: .'Dr. Erasmus VI iison, the
highest English authority on skin
diseases, recommends that foar
ounces OF sulphur ointment thould
he well rubbed into the skin before
the fire, aud particularly into the
affected portions, morning and
evening for two days. 1t is desir-
able also that the patient should
wear flannel shirt and retain The
same during the whole treatment.
On the morning Of the third day
the patient should take a warm
bath and wash the skin thoroughly
with plenty of soap, when the
cure will generally be found to be
effected. A popular prescription
much resorted To by the ladies is as
follows: Equal parts of flower OF
sulphur and oxide OF zinc; apply
externally. Iodide Of potassium,
five grains; three drops OF Fowler
solution of arsenic, three times pc,
day. This is said to work an in
fallible cure in from two to -four
dals Physicians predict that thu
disease will rapidly spread through
out The country, aud will prevail
even more generally than in. 1864

The Farmer and Taxation

| have seen so many complaints,
such as this from G. H., in your is
sue of Dec "a, "Of all classes OF
people, the laboring man receives
the least encouragement from the
laws of our government that l
have been led to ask myself wheth-
er they are well founded.
General statements, such as the
one quoted, are quite unsatisfactory
as the basis of an investigation
Before any remedy can be APP
piled it is necessary 10 know in
what particular our laws discrimi-
nate against our farming interests.
Our laws relate chiefly 70 the main
tenauce of the state and the protec-
ton Of the life, liberty, and proper
ty of the citizen.
Do the laws of taxation bear
harder upon the farmer than anoih-
er citizen? Upon investigation |
find that merchants, and those en-
gagged in some fifty other occupa
tions, pay a considerable tax Tor
the privilege Of pursuing tbeir bust
ness The business o. farming is
50 far favored. The lawyer pays
taxes upon his library; the physi-
clans and indispensable vehicle, but
find that agricultural finstru-
ments, vehicles, and utensils, when
kept for use" are exempt from tax
alton. This certainly favurs the
farmer much; but he is favored
more in that "all personal property
which is the direct product OF the
soil, is exempt from taxation in tue
hands Of the producer" In other
words, the business of the farmer,
his implements of husbandry, and
the fruits of his labor are all exempt
from any part of the burdens of
state government. The same can
not be said of any other occupation.
With respect to hi5 life and liher-
ty, the law is general; and ] know
of NO instance where it favocs an
other more than him.
With reference to property there
is some variation. In addition to
the articles exempt from seizure
or attachment" in the hands OF
heads of families generally, there is
specially exempt in the hands 81
the farmer enumerated implements
of his occupation-a favor extend
ed TO no other citizen except the
mechanic. On the other hand, h,
, has a statutory lien upon the crop O
his tenant TO secure his rent Or i
/. he prefers to receive any sort of an
imal to pasture for @ consideration
he has lien on such animal for hi:
charges, and also for the service o
his stallion, jack, bull, or boar, i
he has stipulated for such charge
On the whole, it does not seen
to me that farming is less favored
than other occupations; but, on the
contrary, the spirit of the law APP
pears to favor labor in general, anC
farming in particular.
/ do not write this from the stand
point of any other occupation Of
business. If the law does in
justice to the farmer, we ought t.
point out the part we complain of
and right it. 1t is useless and tire
} some, and makes Us happy, t.
spend our leisure in grumbling anC
croaking.-Spirit of the Farm.

The ROseate in Life.

Bill Nye.
To the young the future has a
roseate hue. The roseate comes
high, but we have to use it in this
place. To the young there spreads
out glorious range of possibilities.
After the youth has endorsed for an
intimate friend a few lines, and
purchased the paper at the bank
later on, the horizon won't seem to
horizon so unanimously as it did
aforetime. remember at one
time of purchasing such a piece OF
accommodation paper at a bank,
and l still have it. / didn't need it
any more than q cat needs eleven
tails at one and the same time
Still the bank made it an object to
me, and 1 secured it. Such things
as these harshly knock the fluff and
bloom off the cheek of the youth,
and prompt us to turn the straWber-
ry-bOx bottom side up before we
purchase it. Youth is gay and
hopeful, age is covered with expe-
rience and scars where the skin
has been knocked off and has to
grow on again. To the young a dol
lar looks large and strong, but to
the middle-aged and the old it is
weak and inefficient. When we are

ter a while we murmur, whats

There is tradition st Vienne, in
Providence, that in the reign of the
Emperor Tiberius, Pontius PLATE
was exiled to that city, where he
died not long after of grief and de-
spair for not having prevented the
crucifxion of the Saviour, and his
body was thrown into the Rhone.
There it remained, neither carried
away by the force of the current
nor consumed by decay fer 500
years, until the town, being affiict-
ed with the plague, 1t was revealed
to the archbishop, in vision, that
the Gala nifty was occasioned by
Pilates body, which, unknown to
the good people of Vienne, was ly-
ing at the foot of certain tower.
The place was accordingly search
ed and the body drawn up entire,
but nothing could equal its intoler-
able odOr. 1t was carried to q
marsh two leagues from the iowa
and there inferred, but for many
years after strange noises we're re
ported to Issue continually from the
place.

A wriler in an exchange says of
gapes in chickens: This disease is
caused by small worms in the wind
pipe, but where they come from l
do not know. l had never been
troubled with it until this spring,
but l had asked r good many
chicken raisers how to treat il, and
when l saw my chicks gaping | was
ready for it. 1 caught all that
were affected and put them in a
basket, covering it with g cloth.
Then l took shovelful of Goals
and teaspoonful of -four of sulphur
on them and held the shovel under
the basket, allowing the fumes to
rise up among the chicks. Care
must be used net to suffOcate the
chicks, for the sulphur will do it in
short order A Whit or two is
enough for the gapes and it cures
them in two minutes and never
fails. Sulphur is a good thing
around q poulsry house, snd it
should be sprinkled in the nests ev-
cry week or two.

ANY decent hen will lay in

Is the hen for U.s." This is the true
meaning of profit in poultry and So
ought it to be looked after above
everything else. That fowls can be
forced to lay during cold weather
there is now no doubt, but the only
way to do this is to bestow care
and feed upon them. 1t depends
more upon this than upon the
breed Fowls with small combs and
= heavy coat of feathers suffer less
from cold, and are for this reason
better winter layers, under ordinary
circumstances, dellcately formed

bly, housed and properly fed, will

In feeding out of doors wet days
is the time when the most is vast
ed. When a full ration for the
stock is thrown out to them at once,
before it is half eaten it is 80 wet
and soaked that the stock would
starve before they would finish it.
Feeding out on the ground is re-
prehensible practice at all times,
but the difficulty mentioned can be
avoided to a great extent by giving
only little at time, just what the
the stock will eat in a few minutes
and before it has time to get
wet and then feed again after a
short interval. This takes time,
but it will pay both in the amount
of food saved and also in the i'm
provement of the stock.
