A Few Thoughts About Apollo.

Bill Nye. in the Rambler.
Apollo was the god of light; also of poetry
music. archery and lawn tennis He was greatly
loved by the Greeks for his poetry his violin
solos and his economy and simplicity in dress. A
good, durable laurel wreath would last him the
year round
But it mortified him to be driven from his
apartments by the shrll cry of fire" and to find
when he reached the street that he had forgotten
his wreath.
Apollo was also recognized as the author Of
the healing art and the god of prophetic inspira-
tion especially manifested in the oracle at
Delphi, Ind.
He was greatly beloved by everybody but the
clothing mon. Many of them came and offered
him Waterbury watches of great value If he
would come and trade with them, but he said

IF wear clothes" said he, ''other poets will
also get above their business and want clothes.

are scaled in about the same proper
tons, the lowest-priced article of but
ter being thirteen cents per pound"
The chemicals" referred to above
are, as we understand, simply the
I" chemicals " now used in about all our
diaries for coloring butter. The fats
for the best limitations are the finest
and purest that can be had, and for the
lower grades not probably any poorer
than the second and third grades of
lard. No really rancid or putrid mate
rial can be used, as it would have iden-
tically the same effect upon the salable
quality of the product that cow-hairs
and cow-dung, the vapors and smells of
the barn, the kitchen stove and the
tobacco pipe have upon dairy butter.
1t may make some folks mad to say it,
but it is fact that the oleo and butter
inc factories are paradise of cleanli-
ness compared with some farm diaries.
Those establishments know they can
not afford to destroy their own profits
in that way. Neither can the farmers
and even the slackest of them are find
ing it out. Oleo factories are bless
ing in disguise, inasmuch as they tend
rapidly to put an end to the long-stand-
ing and gross abuses in hundreds of
farm diaries, where coarse, careless and
dirty men and women transform sweet
milk into nasty butter. Pray excuse us,
dear readers, but we must tell the
whole truth, once in awhile, or" bust"
And you every one of you know that it
Is the truth.
And now for these Homestead cream
cry reports:
THE MAPPING CONN CREAMERY.
The following statement shows: 1,
the number of spaces of cream re-
ceived; 2, the number pounds of butter
made; 3, the number of spaces of cream
required to make one pound of butter;
4, the number of cents paid to patrons
per spaces of cream; 5, what such pay
ment is equivalent to per pound of
butter.

To Every Reader.

1t is the earnest desire of the agri-
cultural editor to furnish TO his readers
matter useful to them all. To this end
he has repeatedly solicited of them that
they would ask questions on any sub
ject in regard to which information is
desired. After forty years of farm life,
he still feels that he is far from COM
petent to furnish from his individual
store of knowledge correct answers to
all the problems of the farm. But he
has, in that time, collected somewhat
extensive agricultural library, contain
ing the writings of the most eminent
farmers on both sides of the Atlantic.
From these stores such information as
most of his readers would be likely to
seek for could probably be had. He
certainly will spare no pains in the
matter, and has not seldom spent with
pleasure whole day in looking up facts
and opinions in order to reply as salts
factorily as possible to single question.
One subscriber has complained (not to
us, but to the publisher) that we have
given too much space to Horticulture.
Whatever of truth there is in this
springs from the fact that large part
of the questions sent us came from
those seeking information on that sub
ject. No questions are disregarded or
sighted, and it lies with our readers to
lead and direct our labors according to
their needs and desires, so far as strictly
agricultural and horticultural subjects
are concerned. Weare now entering on
the twelfth year of our connection with
the WATCHNIAN as its agricultural
editor, and we hope all who have
honored, or may honor, our page of the
paper with their attention will always
look upon us as friend who is most
anxious to help them to the extent of
his ability. May he also ask of them
continued assistance in making this de-
partment more valuable to all by the
communication of facts and well-con-
sidered opinions on the topics to which
it is devoted? Such assistance, he
needs hardly add, will be felt by him as
a strong stimulant and encouragement
in this work.

Continental Food.

Many of the agricultural papers print
advertisements of prepared "condi-
mental food" for horses and other live
stock, at the rate, usually, of 800 per
ton, or more in smaller lots. Mr.. Jen-
ner Fust of the Montreal Journal of
Agriculture, who is stock-breeder and
feeder of long experience on both sides
of the Atlantic, gives the following
formula by which continental food
equal to the best may be prepared at
but small expense above the cost of
the grain used:
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1886-01-27

The manager states that the gross
receipts for butter, skim-milk, butter
milk, etc., were $lo.73017, and the ex-
penses were S1,764.27. The net re-
ceipts were thus $500 80. Dividing
this by the 1896, $40 quarts If milk re-
ceived, gives pa cents per quart as the
average price of whole milk Delivered
by the farmers at the factory for 'he
year, though the average of the re
ported monthly payments to patrons
was 2.S9 cents per quart Contrast this
with the average return OF 2.76 cents
per quart of whole milk at Wrapping,
for the cream alone taken at the farm
er's door, leaving the skim-milk to feed
or sell, for which it is worth one-half to
one cent per quart. Thus the farmer
who patronizes cream-gathering fac
tory, run on the Cooley system, gets
three and one-fourth to three and three
fourths cents per quart for his whole
milk, and has none of the work of deliv-
ering it, while the patron of the whole
milk creamery gets two and three-fourths
cents per quart, and has to deliver his
whole milk to the factory twice daily
in summer and once day in winter
and does not retain the skim-milk
The Homestead adds the following
comparison between cooperative and
private dairying: The average net re-
turn to the patrons of Amherst, Wap'
ping and Canton creameries during
1885 have been twenty-four and one
half cents per pound for the butter
made. The farmers have had none OF
the work of butter-making to do, the
cream has been taken at their doors
leaving the skim-milk on the farm, ant
the farmer has received in clean casl
twenty-four and one-half cents fo
every pound of butter produced from
his milk during the year. The Home
Stead's market reports show that tn,
