TIE Dairy World says milk varies
very much in It's quality for butter
making. The creameries make a pound
of butter from fourteen quarts of milk
but they do not skim 1t close. A fair,
ordinary quality of milk will make a
pound of butter to each twelve quarts.
The best result has been apound of but
ter from four quarts of milk, but the
COW was an extraordinary one. A good
average COW should make a pound of
butter from seven quarts of milk, and
dalrymen should grade uptheir ows to
that standard.

THERE have been a great many rem
edies suggested for hog cholera, but
S o far non have proved always effect
ual. The best remedy that has been
tried and which has given better results
than any other, is to add a teaspoonful
of carbolic acid to two gallons of soft
water. The water must be used entire
ly for mixing the food, and they must
have no other to drink. If the animal
is very sick 1t should be drenched with
a pint of the water, If they will eat
add a pound of powdered fenugreek to
each bushel of feed.

FLINT records an English experiment
with sheltered versus unsheltered sheep.
Twenty sheep under shelter gained 273
pounds more than the uusheltered, and
consumed two to four pounds less tur-
nips per day, and about forty-six pounds
less of linseed cake. To allow our
lambs to be dropped and exposed with
their ssmothers to the tender mercies
of u changeable Climate is thus to
make a lottery of our business where
certainty should be secured. If intel
ligence has any value on the farm 1t
rests in the regulation of conditions
and the subordinatIon of comfortable
factors to brains.

Mormons on Murray.

When the Mormons endorse the
Presidents action in removing Gov
ernor Murray, of Utah, we can readi-
ly see that the removal was q mistake.
1t will be seen from the following that
the Mormons hope that other such
changes will be made:
Referring to the recent removal of
Governor Murray, of Utah. the Des-
eret News, the Mormon organ after
some mild comment says: "We do not
trample upon fallen foe. We hope
the gentlemen will find congenial So
ciety elsewhere. He 10 free-hearted
and hospitable southerner, with many
generous impulses and social qualities,
and in other scenes may gain more
pleasure, honor and success than he
has obtained in Utah. It Is reported
that other changes will follow the
Governors removal, and we trust that
they will all tend to improve the con-
dition Of affairs in this territory"

Interviewing Cattle Men.

The following cap does not fit any,
one in Montana, but we clip 1t from
the Dodge City Journal to show how
people do in Kansas: "Men who have
not dollar invested In live stock
seem to have the best luck In being
interviewed on the live stock ques-
ton. There is no particular objection
to this. if it were not that it only takes
q few interviews to make man want
to take the lead in every stock con-
vention he can get in reach Of. This
is all wrong, for although such man
may be treated with courtesy, his
action creates dissatisfaction, and II be
could hear the side remarks as to the
location Of his herd, he would dry UP
and give way TO the man who has his
money invested in live stock, and /,
there to learn something to his ad
vantage"

An Interesting Experiments.

Vail Bros. parted out twenty head
of steers from their beef cattle two
months ago, divided them into two
parts, weighed each band separately,
and put ten intoa close corral. where
they had free access to hay and water.
There was high board fence around
them where the inclosure did not face
the barn or some other building. The
other ten were marked and turned
out into the open field with the other
cattle. After five weeks of feeding
the two bands were carefully weighed,
and the result was slightly In favor OF
those fed out in the field.-Virginis
Chronicle.

II is about time that western peopls

A Bottled Diamond.

Frank Hughes, the popular book
keeper of the Scott cattle company,
had the marvellous luck TO discover a
diamond of the first water, In a gold
setting Of the most intricate workman
ship, and enclosed In a commonplace
glass bottle. Ithappened in this wise:
Frank had strolled down to the bank
of the Yellowstone river, walking
stick In hand. Being Of somewhat
artistic turn of mind, the beautiful
scenery on the north side of the river,
with Comstock's coal mine copspicu-
Gus in the foreground, caught his eye.
and he stood as one entranced, gazing
upon the beauties of nature. Uucon-
sciously he probed the sand in the vi
cinity of his feet with his walking
stick when his thoughts were rudely
disturbed by the ringing sound made
by the ferule of said walking stick
against a glass bottle. His curiosity
prevailed over his admiration for the
boundless succession of bad lands
looming up before him, and he picked
up the bottle to examine 1t. Hearing
something rattle, and not being able
to distinguish its composition through
the coating of mud and sand with
which the bottle was enveloped, he
took out his knife and extracted the
cork, and emptied the contents of the
bottle cautiously into his hand, when
behold. diamond, Its luster undim-
med by close confinement for perhaps
a century, burst upon his gaze.
Amazed. delighted, he closely inspect
ed the treasure. 1t was encased i'm gold
setting of the most artistic workman
ship, and to his experienced eye was
undoubtedly gem Of first water.
Hurrying back to town his friends
were Immediately acquainted with his
good fortune. The stone was then ex.
amined, but neither the result Of the
examination nor what would be done
with 1t by Frank has not yet been
ascertained.
