Prairie Farmer.
Much is said about cows for gem
erai purposes. meaning usually their
adaptability for making into beef after
they are too old for the dairy. But q,
cow that is coed for butter, cheese Or
milk should never be killed until so,
old that her ya.ue for beef will be very
small. however well-built she may be.
-Colman's Rural World.
Raise all the cow feed you can on
the farm, and buy as little as you can
possibly get along with. Corn should
be the great standby, and get you a
farm mill to grind it in. There is no S
need for grinding it fine. The best
experts in feeding for large yields of
butter say the crushed corn makes
more milk than fine grinding. Raise
some oats to crush with it, which is
a good thing to take the place of pur-
chased bran.-American Dairyman.
"A verJ important requisite of sue
cess in the conduct Of the dairy is rcgu-
larity in habits. Regular feeding, regu-
lar milking and the utmost regularity
in temperature in keeping the milk, and
in all dairy operations, are all indis-
pensable. A man who can never do
thing twice in the same way, or at the
same hour each day. or who can never
school himself to do it. will be unsuc-
cessful, and will soon have to change
his business. Another indispensable
requisite is an Obseryant dis
sposition. There are persons who
see, but do not perceive. Such
men will never feel at home in
The dairy. because they will always be
disappointments and mis-
haps. A sharp eye to see, and quick
to perceive the results of
common occurrences, are specially nec-
,ssary in this business. They are attrib-
ties OF every successful farmer, but are
required in dairying. Minute
md careful observation, habit to take
very thing in at a glance, will save
much trouble, and avoid those common
accidents which cause so many losses.

HINTS TO CHEESE MAKERS,

Tho Market Demand for Acid Cheese Con.
| stantly Declining.
| The market demand for acid cheese
has gone by. The maker who can not
turn out a reasonably firm cheese with,
out soaking it in sour whey does not
understand his business and will SOON
er or later have to change his hand,
or give place to somebody who UNDER
stands it better. Even the English
market protests against hard sours
and skins. Dissolving the minerals
and fats in acids. and washing them
out with whey. impoverishes the cheese,
rendering it both unpalatable and un-
nutritious, rs well indigcstible. The
proper way is to be sure and .coOk"
the curd enough before acid is percep-
tibly developed. Then Immediately
draw off the whey-or, at farthest. per-
NIT only the faintcst Indication of acid
before it is Gone-and afterward keep
the curd warm and let the acid de-
velOp to whatever extent it will.
The curd should not be allowed to run
below ninety degrees until the chees-
ing process is sufficiently advanced to
make it fit to put to press. 1t should
then be lowered to eighty degrees. IL d
never put to press above that temper:l.
ture. In very warm weather the tenn
pcrature might be run little lower,
but never in cool weather, ii close
pressed, well-faced cheese is desired.

there is no danger from acid. There will
not enough lactose Or milk-sugar be left
in the curd to made acid enough to do
any harm. Besides. if the whey is out Of

though it may cut the fats to some ex-

seventy degrees is maintained-return

DAIRY FARMING,
Probably the Most Profitable Branch Of
Agricultural Industry.

Probably the Most Profitable Branch oi

1t has not yet been appreciated. but
the day is coming when economy will
be the order of the day on every farm

cious system Of waste prevails here.
there and everywhere on the farm, and
economy is practiced only in the
! spending of th" little money which IL
nally finds its way to the pocl~ts oi tho
owner to be used for the personal ex-
penses of himself and family. We vent
urc the statement that the produce of
nearly every farm could be doubled by
careful planning, by prudent fore
thought and by judiciously outstanding
every resource. In no one way does
the farmer lack economy more than
in husbanding his own labor by the
exercise of his mental faculties. He
needs to think and plan more. see
where physical labor may be avoide
by a better system of business, and a
diversity and rotation of crops so con-
trived rs to call for the least labor and
the best and most valuable product
This, we believe, is found in moro
grass and stock and less grain farming.
The dairy is, perphaps, the best of all
if the owner is near enough to fac
tory or market. But in the handling
of COWS there is room for as much
waste as by any other method Of farm
ing, and one can not know too much
or try too hard to guard every avenue.
The following from the London Lice
Stock Journal is very much to the point:
Farmers engaged in the dairy busi-
ness were able to hold out against the
depression for a longer period than
those who relied upon other depart
ments of agriculture. Bad trade has
for eighteen months pressed very Sc
verely upon them also. bn1 it can not
be believed that their case is hopeless
SO long as this country pays to the for
eigner more than fifteen million pounds
(S75, 5,000. .000) annually for dairy prod
uce. 1t will be the subject of the
Derbyshire conference to show how
the British dairy farmer may be enabled
to keep ut home portion of this enor-
nous expenditure for articles that can be
produced nowhere better than in the
United Kingdom. Mr.. Speir. in an in
teresting paper on dairying contributed
to The Transactions of the Highland
and Agricultural Society," expresses
the opinion that to combat the present
competition and fall in prices it is
necessary that every one should make
as much of every thing as he can. and
make tho host of overy thipr md tbat
this can only be done By each and all
being thoroughly trained for the station
in life which they are to fill. This is
good advice, and merits careful attcn-.

Bv common consent the hog is Hearl
" everywhere rated as the most easily
ressed of all our domestic animals. and
(balang always losses from contagious
disesks) he is usually considered thu
most profitable. Hence he is found i,
moro: :or less numbers on nearly every
farm, regardless of location, soil OF
drainage. or of the system Of farming
pursued. AS, however, all the lands
in the country are not alike suited to
the growing of any one crop. or to any
one method OF culture, SO all farms are
not equally well adapted to the rear
ing and feeding of hogs. When farm
ers come to understand the truth and
to act upon il, a great advance will
have been made in controlling swine
plague and other contagious diseases
among hogs.
The locations which may be consid-
cred particularly unsafe for hog rails
ing are farms, or parts OF farms, that
receive drainage from other lAnda
where hogs are kept The boasted
stream of diving water''i is on many
farms but source of death to the hogs
along its way. Instead of stacking
their thirst as might be supposed. from
its pure current, they drink rather
from the horse and cattle tracks along
the edge, or from other like holes that
become, as the water recedes, stag
nant pools, admirably suited for the
propagation OF disease germs which
have come eddying down the stream.
If hog-raising were at onco aban.
doned on every such farm, or tract Of
land. and from every tract having on
it stock pond. it would not be long
until swine plague would be compar-
atively unknown as q hindrance to
successful swine breeding.
The lessencd number of hog farms,
thus exempted in great measure from
present heavy losses, could easily pro-
duce as large supplies as are now Sc
cured at such great risks of capital,
from the many; and in quality the
product would be better.
Some may say: This is mere theory;
give US something practical" True, the
general adoption of the remedy sug-
gested is not ar all probable, and in
that view it may therefore be shelved
among the impractical theories But
the individual farmer, here and there,
who acts upon the belief that low
lands, sluggish streams and ponds or
pools of standing water are not fit 10
cations or accompaniment for profit
able hog raising, will save himself
much vexation and loss if. in search of
a farm on which hog raising is to be q
leading interest, he will choose well
drained lands and depend on good
wells for water supplies. If these con-
ditions can not be had he will let the
rearing and feeding Of hogs to any
great extent alone, and turn attention
to other kinds of farming or stock
growing.-Phu 7hrytsm, tn Breeders

ARNOLD'S WELL.
Reminders OF Benedict Arnold at Norwich
and at Norwich Town.

Reminders OF Benedict Arnold at Norwich
and at Norwich Town.
The old Benedict Arnold we'll in this
town has been closed. 1t is at the rear
of the lawn, encircled by tall ever
green's. at the fine Ripley place on the
road to Norwich Town. For many
years gothic curb has stood about it,
but it became so rotten that it was nee
essary to take it down. The curb hav-
ing been removed a big round stone
was placed over the we'll, which was not
filed in.
The old Arnold farmhouse, which
was not far from the we'll. was torn
down quarter of a century or more
ago, and replaced with handsome
modern dwelling. In the woods back
of the house still is pointed out tower
ing oak into whose crotch the youthful
Benedict used to climb. At Norwich
Town, not quarter of a mile away,
the squat brick box, with mossed roof
and bleached walls. still is standing in
which Benedict learned from good old
DR.. Lathrop how to mix pills and put
up lotions. 1t is on ground owned by
Henry McNelly: Its worn front door
sill is almost in line with the dusty
village street. and there is no fence in
front of it. The country roadside walls
have been built up to it and then de-
hected so that it is in a walled recess.
1t is one story high. with two or three
old-fashioned dusty windows, which
look somewhat severely at the brand
new things about the old drug shop.
The building is preserved as relic. 1t
has been padlocked for many years and
it needs painting.
Another reminder of Benedict Ar
mold. the old Spittle house. on Black
hal street, New London, recently was
demolished by its purchaser, Bryan f.
Mahon, to make room for a. snowy
wooden house. In its dining room, on
September s. 1871. Arnold took dinner
and was almost choked to death By a
fish-bone. 1t was on that. visit that

1t has long been a mooted question
as to whether cabbages, turnips .aad
other rank-smelling vegetables can be-
fed to mich cows without their faint
being impaired to the milk, Some saw
they can be safely fed in small amount;
others say that if they are fed Just
after milking all bad effects viii dis.

others say they will always faint the.

amount fed. suspect the latter are
right. and that the longer as we'll as
the more these rank vegetables are fed,
the more injurious the effects. In q
short time the COW will become satur-
ated with their odor and flavor. and
these will appear in the milk, until thew
are eliminated from the COW system
There are other foods that ara more
suitable for milch cows, leaving the

sentiments of the Young Mems Democratic
Club of Wheeling on the death of Charles
II. Tieman, First Vice President of the
club, beg leave to submit the following
report:
1t is but q Just tribute to the memory of
the departed to say that he was regarded
by every member of this organization rs a
man worthy of respect and esteem. His
good nature and pleasant manner had
especially endeared him to us. His untir-
ing energy, exerted in behalf of the club,
is one of the main causes of Il present
prosperity. The death of Charles H. Tie
man, occurring in the flush of manhood
and highest period of his usefulness, is an
event deeply to be deplOred.
To his family we extend our sincere and
heartfelt sympathy, commencing them for
consolation to the God of the widow and

We will attend the funeral in a body;
wear the usual badge of mourning; cause

4 LONG VOYAGE.
The New steamer Nettle Quill Leaves for
the South.

The New tealner Ne;tie Oulll Leaves lOr
the South.
About halfpast five o'clock last. evening
the new steamer Nettic Quill cast off from
the wharf boat, and turning her bow down
stream began her long voyage for the
South. The boat was heavily laden with
nails, glass and miscellaneous freight, and
will not stop until Cincinnati is reached.
The boat is magnificent specimen of river
architecture, 80 feet long, 40 feet beam,
and 1 feet 3 inches depth of hold, and has
4 tonnage of about 22j. Her hull was
built ut Freedom, Pa, and the upper
works, engines and boilers, &c, put on by
Sweeney & Son, of this city in the
best style of that well known
firm. The uphOlstering and cabin
furnishing was largely the work of c. II.
Booth & Co, and cabin and state rooms are
models of good taste and convenience. The
stores and provisions for the initial trip
were from the grocery house OF Geo. X.
McMcchen & Son. At Cincinnati, the
Quill will 90 into the New Orleans trade,
relieving the Vint Shinkle, which boat will
90 on the docks. At New Orleans the boat
will discharge her cargo, and then go
around the coast to Mobile, where, after
laying up for four weeks, she will enter
the Alabama river cotton trade, for which
the boat is particularly adapted.
The steamer throughout is constructed
in the best possible manner, and on her
trial trip, Wednesday, developed unusual
speed. She has two engines with l6-inch
cylinders, &! foot stroke and patent i'm
proved valves and reverse gear, which are
noted for saving fuel and giving increased
power. Her boilers are two in number 30
feet long and a inches i'll diameter, made
of steel .26 in thickness, 10000 tensile
strength and 50.36 ductility. There are
six fucs in each; two safety valves 22.OSS
in dimensions and 1j4 pounds of steam is
allowed. There are also two feed pumps
for the boilers four inches i'll diameter, III
inches stroke. The boat when loaded will
draw two feet of water.
The wheel is 20 feet in diameter and the
buckets are - feet long. She has an cleo
trio head light and two side and one stern
electric lights, all of which are controlled
in lighting and moving from the pilot
house. In the engine room is another cleo
tric light, and the engine for the lights.
The stern is modelled after Sweeney's pat
ent, the goose stern" There are three
patent balance rudders and couplings which
makes a steamer easier To handle than any
other. There are accommodations for 7S
passengers, 60 first-claSs and Is second
class. The painting and decoration of the
boat is striking and beautiful, and Swee-
ney & Sons should be proud OF the result
of their labor. :
