butter making. The bulk of COW butter
is still made on farms. and there is one
reason why it probably will continue to
be. The skim milk is of great value for
feeding pigs and for other purposes,
while the whey from cheese is worth
little or nothing. The dairy system of
butter making will probably insure a
better and more uniform product, but
there is another difficulty to be taken
into account, which is the loss from
churning the cream of a great number
of cows together.
The Western Agricalturist says: cat
many of the stock exchanges and livery
stables where horses are kept for sale
or trade, part of the floors arc nicely
and purposely prepared for the improve
ment of the condition of horses that have
been badly injured in the feet, limbs and
shoulders. What is the remedy these
men employ and rely onp The earth
floor, that has stood the test of all ages.
1t acts as preventive of the many
evils that necessarily originate where
ever the plank floor system is brought
into use. It requires little more labor
to keep an earth floor in good condition,
than to keep the plank floor in repair. :"

it is cold and uneasy, while u quiet ap-

When the observing farmer sees rest

something is wrong; he will treat it to

The Country Gentleman says: 1--WE
have often had occasion to observe the
benefit derived from laying down the
most commonly cultivated grape vines
on the approach of winter. even if such
sorts as are rcputed hardy, in localities
where they are not winter-killcd. The
work has been easily done by holding
them to their PROSTATE position with
short sticks of wood, and without cover
ing, and where they obtained some
warmth from the earth and were out of
the reach of severe winds. A vineyard
ist once informed us that if he had ex-
pended a weeks work in laying down
his vines, it would have saved him from
loss of 81, 200, but it was an unusual
winter"
The Turf Field and Firesidc recom-
mends the following scientific method
of treating cider to preserve its sweet
ness. When the saccharine matters by
fermentation are being converted into
alcohol, if bent tube be inserted air.
tight into the bung, with the other end
into pail of water, to allow the car
bonic acid gas evolved to pass off with
out admitting any air into the barrel, q
beverage will be obtained that is fit nec-
tar for the gods. A handy way is to
fill your cask nearly up to the wooden
faucet when the cask is rolled SO the
bung is down. Get common rubber
tube and slip it over the end of the plug
in the faucet, with the other end in the
pail. After the water ceases to bubble
bottle or store away.
