Successful Demonstration of the American
Buffalo.

A gentleman is now successfully do
mesticaling the American buffalo at
Stony Mountain. Manitoba. Starting
his herd in 1878 with four heifer calves
and one bull, il now numbers sixtv-one
head; the greater number, pure buffalo
the rest. half breeds. When we saw
them in January. all were sleek and fat.
and vet they were then living on the open
prairie. and feeding onthe prairie grasses
covered by snow At this time the snow
was deep and the thermometer had, for
long time, registered twenty or more
below zero. In January OF the preced-
ing year. one of the cows had calved on
the plain. and although nj the time the
ther mometer registered t'nrty-eight de-
grecs below zero neither cow nor calf ap-
peared 10 suffer in the least " ben a
blizzard comes on, the animals lie down
together with their backs to the wind
and allow the snow 10 drift over them,
so HAT under the combined protection
OF their own wool and the snow. they
are quite warm. Not one of this herd
has ever exhibited the slightest svml-
toms Of disease. although the only care
that they receive is occasional watch
ing. 10 prevent them from straying
away. Thus winter and summer they
live and thrive on the bare prairie. with

Mr.. bed>oI, the owner OF the herd.
after experimenting with crosses, is
well satisfied with the hybrid. as i; j. in
shape more like the domesiicatcd COW.
and is also fair mixer. Yet we doubt
that this gain is sufficient to compcn-
safe for the deterioration Of the fur;
while also it would hc a matter of end
less regret if, in the prosecution of
experiments. the original pure race
were LOST. The rate OF increase of tho
buffalo, though theoretically the same
as with other cattle, is really much
higher. on account Of the lower rate of
mortality.
When the present herd i. sufficient
~ increased, it is intended TO divide it
among several prairie ranches in locali-
titles where once the wild buffalo found
its choicest pastures This amounts
almost to restocking of the buffalo

Clean Milk.

The good dairyman is the oHc who
has care for small things. No sin-
Gle item in the whole range of dairy
practice should be considered too small
for his engrossing care. The point
where this principle applies with great
est force is where this delicate white
fluid first makes its appearance amid
filth and rubbish of the COW stable.
Verify it is symbolical OF the first APP
pearance Of purity on earth when the
humble manger held, the worlds prom
Use. No surroundings. however crude,
should be allowed 10 contaminate the
white purity of milk. This can only be
accomplished with the most minute care.
Various devices have been invented
10 compass this end. On the island of
Jersey can is used shaped something
like an urn, with cloth over the mar
row mouth. Into the sag of'the cloth
is placed a clean sea shell into which
the stream of milk is directed to pre-
vent wearing holes in the cloth. Then
the milk is strained Immediately and the
least possible surface is exposed to catch
dirt. There Is IN tins country a
Yankee invention consisting of long
spout TO pail and on the eLd Of it a
mouth to receive the milk, while the
mixer sits on the top of the pail. The
trouble with these devices is that they
present so small a surface for receiving
the stream that the mixer often misses
it and wastes the milk. The best plan
we have seen for clean milking is to
first have the COW well bedded in per-
fectly dry material. Do not allow any
water to come near the udder. Before
beginning to milk take long haired,
soft brush and clean the side of the COW
and the udder thoroughly, then hold
the pail between the knees and milk
rapidly. The milk should of course be
strained Immediately upon removal
from the COW, and when taken to the
house it should be strained again. 1t
goes without saying that scrupulous
care should be taken to see that all the
milking utensils are perfectly clean and
that they have been well cleaned and
summed between milkings. These little
things make up the balance sheet be-
tween profit and loss in the dairy
agriculture.

The Baptist quarterly meeting held
Oct. &c, y, %, at Winter Harbor was
Of unusual interest. Pastors present
were Rev A. F. Palmer of Eden. Rev.
A. A. Cambridge of Hancock, Rev. .
{. Herbert, pastor elect OF the Winter
Harbor church. and Rev +. A. Davis
of Trenton. The services we're
throughout both devotional and practi-
cal. Powerful prayer meetings and
sound preaching only preceded the prac-
teal turn given to the sessions. A
Woman's Missionary society was or
gained during one Of these sessions.
Toward the close a revival interest vas
manifested and in the closing meeting
two persons requested prayer. Rev.
A. A. Cambridge remained over to con-
duet further meetings. the quarterly
meetings at Winter Harbor thus be-
coming model for the future. The
people of that very enterprising village
very cordially entertained all visitors
in their homelike homes and beautiful

The rorsaken Farmhouse.

/ From "The Homestead" by John Greenleaf Whit
tier In the February Afianfic.I
Against the wooded hills IL stands.
Ghost of a dead home, staring through
Its broken lights on wasted lands
Where old-time harvests grew.
Unploughed, unsown, by scythe unsholn.
The poor forsaken farm-fields lie,
Once rich and rife with golden corn.
And pale green breadths of rye.
OF heathful herb and flower bereft,
The garden plot no housewife keeps;
Through weeds aud tangle only left
The snake, its tenant, creeps.
A lilac spray, once blossom clad.
Sways bare before the empty rooms;
Beside the roofess porch n sad,
Pathetic red rose blooms.
His track. in mould and dust of drouth.
ON floor and hearth the squirrel leaves,
And in the freless chimney's mouth
His web the spider weaves.
The leaning barn about to fall
Rcsoupds no more on husking ewes;
No cattle low ia yard or stall,
No thresher beats his sheaves.
So sad, so drear, II seems almost
Some haunting Presence makes its sign;
That down yon sbadowy lane some ghost
Might drive his spectral kline.

SALT BENEFIcIAL.-Salt does not
kill poultry, though such has long been
the claim. If the fowls are allowed to
have access to the broken rock salt or
brine from pork or fish barrel they may
eat too much, and be injured, but prop
er proportion of salt in the food is as
necessary for fowls as for animals.
Many diseases are due to a failure to
supply salt, and this accounts for the
cures effected by it in some cases, the
fowls. when sick, being benefited by
salt because it supplies long felt want.

WHITEwAsHING.-A hen-house should
be made of as rough lumber as pos
sible; nothing should be planed; once
a year is sufficient to whitewash. By
having your lumber rough the white
wash sticks more readily and will fill
all the cracks full. Much is written
about whitewashing three or four times
q year, but where one has 700 or 800
feet Of buildings they will soon get opt
of that notion.
