DAIRY AND CREAMERY BUTTER.

Creamery butter is that which is
made at the creameries, where all the
improved methods are used for separat-
ing the milk and cream, as well as
churning, sailing and working the but
ter. Unlike the method in use on dairy
farms, where the cream is skinned from
the milk, the invention of the separator
enables the manufacturer ut the cream
cry to separate the milk and cream by
centrifugal force in few minutes.
Formerly dairy butter commanded the
highest price in market. but of recent
years the creamery product has been in
greater demand. This is partially due
to the fact that at the creamery large
quantities can be made at the same
time, thus insuring uniformity in quail
ty while each dairy has its own meth
cd, and the product varies according to
the skill and care of the manufacturer
At one time the dairymen complained
that the creameries were doing great
damage to their interest, Just as is now
alleged against oleo-margarine; but
they soon found it profitable to carry
their milk to the creameries instead of
churning it, not that butter-making
had become Improbable, but that the
creameries turned out superior arti-
Gle, and did much of the work by ma
chinery. But good butter does not de-
pend entirely upon the use of machine
ry. The improvement in quality was
effected by the enforcement of stringent
rules in the matter of feeding and car
ing for the stock. The farmers were
made to properly cool their milk when
drawn from the cows, and the stalls
were kept clean and free from filth.
The enforcement of these rules did
much to prevent bad butter. and the
farmers were induced to do what they
might have done themselves to theT
own advantage. The creamery system
is simply an organized method of dairy
ing. in which discipline is used to Sc
cure uniformity and high quality.
1t is well known that but few persons
use the curry-comb or brush on the
cow, and she often becomes filthy and
dirty in her stall. The strainer cannot
prevent the soluble filth from passing
with the milk into the can. while the
management of the milk after it leaves
the milkman varies according to the
conveniences on the farm. But the
creamery inspectors demand not only
that the COW and her stall shall be
clean. but that her food shall be of the
best quality. The milk must be prop
erly managed and be delivered at the
creamery every morning. The farmer,
therefore, who wishes to produce but
ter of superior quality can only compete
with the creamery by endeavoring to
make superior article. There is no
"gilt-edged'' breed of cattle. although
many suppose the best butter comes
from certain animals. The .gilt-edgei
is in the management of the cow, her
feed and stall, and the handling of the
milk and butter until it reaches the
purchaser.

If a woman's shoes are so worn they in

mother of family. If the outer edges of
the sole arc worn away much more than
the inner one, the wearer has an I'M
stable, tickle character, prone to in
gratitude. If the inner edges are the
most worn. it indicates irresolution and
weakness in man and modesty in

JUSTICE FOR THE PIG.

often hear my friends say: What
makes You take to the liking of the hog?
He is n dirty favorite; he eats and sleeps
in his own filth with seeming relish.
And when you have fed almost your
entire corn crop to him. he lies down
and dies with the cholera" Now, the
trouble does not rest with the hog, but
entirely with its master. If this same
hog were fed as regularly as we eat
ourselves, and his hunger as well salts
fed, it would be very seldom that our
ears would be annoyed by the squeal of
the pigs, who are many times disap-
pointed in the regularity of their meal,
more than in the quantity when they do
get it. 1t is not the pigs squeal that is
annoying us on such a day, probably
the coolest during the winter; it is our
conscience. On summer-like days the
pigs are taught the regularity of their
feeding hours; they know to the very
minute when to expect their meal.
Now, why should they be disappointed
on that very day of all days when they
most need their feed? We all know
why. When the thermometer is down
to zero it takes good deal more than
the pigs squeal to draw us from our
warm fires. So, is it any wonder that
we do not get in return from the hog
always the true value of the feed it con-
sumcs? They squeal off in one day
what we have been at pains to put on
them during week of careful feeding.
Not only do believe hog has an
idea of time. but think he has decency
and manners. My pen is divided into
three departments feeding-room, a
sleeping-room. and room for necessi-
ties. And with only the least trouble,
l train them to use the several depart
ments for the purposes they are de-
signed for. Where | want them to sleep,
| select dry place and sprinkle some
dry straw; in the room for their necessi-
ties, | take the shovel and put some ma
nure, and although / keep fifteen to

ly use each one of these departments

FARMERS DEBTS.
The Department of Agriculture has
been investigating, through its State
agents, the subject of farmers debts in
the south, and the facts it has collected
are to northern man ut least astound-
ing. 1t seems that the southern plant
ers not only generally hold their lands
subject to mortgages on which they
pay from 8 to 10 per cent interest, but
the majority of them mortgage their
crops to merchants who furnish them
with fertilizers, food and other Supplies
to be paid for In the fall For supplies
obtained in this way the most exorbi-
taht prices are charged, the increase
over cash rates being enough to wipe
out any possible profit in the best of
seasons. The North Carolina agent
says at least one-fourth of the value of
the cotton crop in his State is lost TO the
farmers in this way. In South Caro-
lima the recorded liens on growing
crops show that there were advances to
farmers by merchants amounting to
nearly twelve millions of dollars in
1882, and the extra price charged for
this accommodation was from 20 to 40
per cent. In Georgia the supplies
bought on credit are bacon. lard, flour,
corn and hay and fertilizers. The
average cash and credit prices of corn
and bacon during the last growing sea-
son (average of the State) were about
as follows;
Cash. Credit.
Cents. Cents. Payable.
Bacon Bacon .... '''.'..'' os io.s Nov. Nov.
The average length of credit is about
four months, buying commencing about
May and extending throughout July,
| payable November |. This would indi-
cate n rate per cent per annum for
corn 81, and bacon 81. over the cash
prices. The agent says it would be safe
to say that the average rate per cent
added to the cash prices of all goods
sold to farmers is so per cent per an
mum.
In Alabama As per cent of the farm
ers were in debt January l, and with
| out available means of meeting such
Indebtedness. They were therefore
obliged to purchase all their supciies on
time. and for thus having mcTtgaged
his crop to one merchant he is COM
PEELED to pay that one whatever he
pleases to ask. which is generally at
least 50 per cent more than the cash
price. Of Louisiana the agent writes:
"Seventy-tive per cent of the farmers
and planters are in debt. The cost of
such Indebtedness, in my opinion, is
fully % per cent of the entire crop. The
| current rate of interest upon advances
of money and provisions is nominally 8
per cent and p per cent for selling.
and 2 per cents freights; total about Is

more, obtaining from Is to 20 per cent
for advancing, besides Il heavy profit on

Silver Certificates.

The paragraph inserted by the House
in the sundry civil bill requiring the See
retary of the Treasury to issue small
silver certificates against all surplus
silver dollars in the treasury. in payment
of the expenditures or obligations of the
government, has been materially changed
by the Senate committee on appropri-
alton. AS passed by the House, the
provision required the payment of the
entire amount of the sundry civil appro-
priation, over S21 10000 in these GER
tificates, the public creditors having no
discretion as to the particular form of
money to be received, and rs the man

silver dollars in the treasury, would be
ID issue in silver certificates of small
denominations 500, 100000, in addition
to the SSS,000,0 900 in silver certificates
outstanding on July /. As amended by
the Senate committee, the paragraph
simply provides for the issue of one, two
and iive-dollar certificates as like GER
tificates of higher denominations are
issued. AS this is question of great
public interest and may lead to pro-
tracted debate in the Senate, the full text
of the paragraph as amended by the
Senate committee is here given:
The Secretary ofthe Treasury is hereby author
lied to Issue silver certificates in denominations
OF one, two and five dollars, and the silver Ger
tifca;es herein authorized shall be receivable,
redeemable and payable in like manner and for
like purpose as is provided for silver certificates
