Eutter-Makfng On the Farm,
Chicago Tribune.

Any farmers wife who has a clean
room where the temperature may be
kept about so degrees III winter may
make as good butter as the best, pro
vided the COWS are kept in clean
stables and we'll provided with proeer
food and plenty of water The butter
will sell at the highest prices of the
whole year. It is simply a question
of perfect cleanliness from the time
the milk is taken from the cow until
it is packed ready for the market. A
temperature of SO degrees will Insure
the perfect ripening of the cream if it
is well stirred every time more is
added.
When ready for the churn it should
be warmed to d temperature of 50 de-
grees by placing the jar in a pan of
hot water and stirring the cream until
the temperature is correct. The time
of churning should occupy half an
hour. When the butter is formed into
granules, stop churning, draw off the
buttermllk, and return to the churn
what butter comes away with the but
termilk. Then wash in the churn,
first with clear cold water, and then
with brine. Then work lightly, add
ing half an ounce of salt to each
pound of butter Before it is ready
for market, or after it has stood in a
cold place twelve hours, rework by
pressing, never with drawing mo-
ton, and pack IN suitable vessels.
If the butter is to be colored-and it
should be to give it delicate yellow
tint. some degrees lighter than MANY
persons foolishly suppose necessary
it must be done by mixing the butter
color with the cream. Mix the proper
quantity OF color IN little milk, and
add to the cream with stirring until
the proper color is assumed. A little
experience will enable this to De done
correctly. Do not mix the color after
the cream is in the churn; il is apt to
stain the wood, causing the butter to
become streaked.

and gives a good milk, both in quail
ity and quantity, equal to many breeds
that are more pretentious. It is adj
mirably suited to the poor tenants,
consuming but little food and giving
good returns for the consumption.
It is a good plan to milk COWS regu-
larry IN the same or6er, taking the
same one first and winding up with
the same one every time. Regularity
of hour In commencing the milking OF
the herd is an advantage III securing
the best results, since animals as well
as men are greatly the creatures OF
habit, and when the time comes round
the COW will desire to be milked, and
all the functions OF her system will
concur in this desire.
Squash and melon seeds, which have
been grown in contiguity, are never
trustworthy. All the gourd tribe are
SO closely related as to interbreed with
great facility, and the seeds, which
are really the fruit, become mixed and
impure. Melons grown from seed
thus adulterated have a course and
disagreeable flavor, and are wholly
worthless. As the mixing IS due to
the effect of insects, which carry the
pollen from one plant 10 another, the
seed should be gathered only from
plants which are grown in the center
of field or patch.
w. +. Brown says ia the Indiana
Farmer, it is a common practice to
throw the manure from the stable out
of window and allow it to accumu-
late in a heap against the barn, where
1t rots the building and often contain
mates the air of the stable. Fresh
manure should never be left in con
ical heap, Probably the best way TO
manage it is to spread it evenly in an
adjoining shed in which stock is kept
loose to tramp it. If, however, it is
put out of doors it should always be
wheeled away from the building aud
mixed with the cow manure and
waste from the straw stacks.

Fhe Handy Wagon.

The box or lumber box wagon, as
commonly seen In the East, has a
body with the bottom tightly nailed
or screwed to the side boards and
cross pieces, and which is q fixture.
IN many localities westward. instead
of having tightly nailed box, a bet
ter style for many purposes is era-
ployed. Ordinary side boards are
laid in place against the uprights
from each axle, and are held there
by stout hoops. one being attached to
the upper edge of the side board, so
that it can slip three or four inches
down from the tip of the upright.
Then running lengthwise of the wag-
on, resting on the axles between the
side boards, are placed enough pieces
of scantiing 6x3 to fill the interven-
ing space. The ends of these stringers
are slightly drawn down, so as to en-
able a person to catch hold of any in
dividual one. Each scantling has
screwed on to the lower side, inside
the axle at each end, piece of
wood as q blocking to prevent the
stringers slipping out of place. Dirt
and rubbish of any kind can be piled
in such wagon as in ordinary lamb
er wagon, but can be unloaded far
more rapidly, by, first removing
the scantling thus letting the load
fall TO the ground.

Farm Notes.

The New York Tribune says that
nuts were gathered this year from
trees that were planted during the
Centennial Exhibition, and yet people
talk about planting for their heirs, as
though they would not live long
enough to enjoy the fruit of their own
planting. The time is coming when
MUS of all kinds will be planted with
great profit.
Good management in hog-raising,
as in the handling of all other farm
animals, begins with the selection OF
good breeding stock. A good thor
ough-bred boar will greatly improve
any herd of common hogs. Almost
any farmer can afford to buy such q
boar at the prices now asked. In fact,
we do not see how any farmer who
raises hogs can afford not to buy.

strawberry Culture.
The Gardener,

To a correspondent who asks what
is the best way to cover strawberry
plants, we would say, cover with
straw, hay, leaves, or any similar
material, to the depth of say couple
of inches. As to the method of cul-
lure we would say, that in growing
upon large scale the matted row sys-
tenn is advisable. In this way larg-
er yield is secured. Hill culture does
not produce so largely, but the fruit
is much larger. We are glad to ans
wer such questions as this, for in some
sections there is a terrible howl
against strawberry culture, caused by
the enormous yield the past season.
We repeat what we have often said
before, that only in exceptional cases
is any one warranted In leaving a
business because for one cause or an
other the profits for a single, or for
two or three seasons, have not been
satisfactory. In the long run one
branch of farm industry pays about
as we'll as another. But at all events
everybody should grow enough small
fruit to supply his own family. It is
not worth while to go over the ground
so often travelled by writer's that
farmers do not universally supply
themselves with such Iuxuries to the
extent that they should. That is al
ready well understood, Let us re-
form in this respect.

Contagious Diseases in Stables.
Spirit of the Farm.

When we consider for a moment
the number of diseases Of a conta-
gious nature to which horses are sub
ject, and the careless manner in which
they are exposed to the same, it is as
tonishihg that we do not have cpl
denies of this kind ofteDer with our
horses. To fully appreciate the risk
that is incurred, we need only visit
the city or country towns on court
days or Saturdays, aud see the num-
Der Of horses OF all kinds and con-
ditiOns that stand tied and almost
touching each other in every available
space about town, to say nothing OF
the numbers that are packed together
lis the public stables. The latter, as
rule, are much safer from coming in
contact with disease than these out
side, for no sensible Stableman would
admit an animal inside of his stable
that is affected with any kind of con-
tagious disease if he knew it; but it
often happens that neither the owner
OF the horse nor the stableman is
aware of the disease until it is too late
to remedy the evil.
Contagious diseases of 8 most yiru-
lent character may be perpetuated for
an indefinite length of time By feed
ing horses liz stalls where the disease
has existed. OF this kind we NAV
mention CHAMBERS and Spanish itch
especially. Either Of those most fatal
disorders may be conveyed to other
horses by feeding Ia a stall where
horses suffering with them have been
kept. To des roy the virus, take a
pint of sulphuric acid and put it in a
bucket of water, and with an old mop
wash ali parts of the stall, especially
the trough and manger, as we'll as the
sides Of the stall. Then put a few
pounds of stick sulphur in an old iron
pot, and, stopping the stable as well
as possible, burn it, SO as 10 fumigate
the stable thoroughly, taking due pre-,
canton against fire. It is a good plan
to set the pot in tub of water; then
whitewash with lime and carbolic
acid. This will protect them thor
oughly.

which will be matter OF interest
to readers In those portions of the
country where fax is extensively
grown:
''Innumerable attempts have been
made to invent fax harvesting ma
chine, so far without practical result.
But now Mr. A. @. Lamar, of ST. Paul
Mimi, who has been engaged for the
past five years in the problem, seems
to have solved it to his entire satisfac-
ton. The machine constructed by
hlm is Of two-horse power and is pro
vided with a large drive and grain
wheel, similar to harvester, between
which horizantal wheel, four and a
half feet in diameter, revolves. This
wheel is divided into fifteen sections,
having a common center, and each
sections is provided with a pair of
grabbing hooks, all of which are
worked with u cam. The machine is
driven along the edge of Tie fax, each
set of hooks attached to the horizontal
wheel closing on the fax at regular
intervals and opening at the opposite
side of the machine, releasing the fax
after which it is carried off by an in
genious attachment to a platform,
where it may be bound. Mr.. Lamar
made q public field trial with his ma
chine on August II, which was more
successful than he had expected.
With two horses hitched to the ma
chine. it pulled the fax SO clean that
the part went over was as nude Of
vegetation as a new-plowed field. The
"puller" is simple and durable in
construction, and, last but not least,
the inventor says it can be manufac-
tured and sold for 800 at a goad pro
it,"
With manufacturers in operation
for utilizing fiber, and a successful Ia
Dor saving machine gathering the
crop, there would seem to be good
prospects for boom in fax culture in
the state.

An Electric ROy.

An electric boy has been on exhi-
bition in Edinburgh, and a gentle
man who writes to the electrician says
he made such a through examination
of the case as to salty him that there
was no deception. He was a colored
boy. The writer says: "I had the
boy stripped naked. While thus
naked he walked in my presence, and
also sat on wooden seat with Ris
feet off the ground. Tn every post
ion in which [ tried him I found cleo
tricity proceeded from his body when
I touched it with my finger. The
electricity came with the greatest
freedom from the upper half of his
body, and especially from his tongue. "
