Building a Creamery.

The first and common mistake is
to plan ii on too grand Il scale.
Size and first cost have been the
causes of death with most of the
creameries that have failed to
thrive. 1t is II safe old principle
that the strongest groth comes slow
". The business that begins on Il
small scale and increases only
through Il healthy growth is the
one that lasts the longest and
brings the creates comfort to those
engaged in it If you wish to start
creamery, five or six dalrymcn
should agree that one of their num-
may make the milk of all into but
ter. Let that one buy the setting
cans, churn, tubs, etc, and charge
Il percentage for making. II his
butter does not sell well, then let
some other member of this little
syndicate take the tools and make
the butter; change about until you
find the best butter,maker. In
crease your facilities only as they
are demanded by new patrons, and
if you succeed in getting the best
butter.maker at the churn, the
creamery will certainly succeed.
There is no doubt about this

IIolstcins come from the Neither
lands, which border on the ocean
aud whose climate is always moist.
Jerseys come from an island whose
fields are always breezes. There is
no important dairy region in the
world where air and soil suffer from
drouth. AS the far West is motor
iously more subject to drouth than
Eastern or Middle States, it can
hardly be supposed that dairying
will ever make permanet success
there. On the Pacific coast, in
Washington and Oregon, there is a
large area furnishing good climatic
for dairying, but it is at
present too far OIL to be an active
competitor to present dairy sections

Forestry.

Those who desire to promote the
true interests of forestry III this sec
lion cannot do more practical work
than in securing all possible legiS-
lation for protection against loss 10y
fire The risk from fire more than
any other one thing detcrs broad
and comprehensive forestry schemes
Every one admits the ultimate pro
tit of owning growing trees at pres
ent cost. Protect from fire and
punish the careless sportsman or
the reckless individual who cndang
crs vast areas of forest growth, and
forestry will become popular among
farmers, capitalists and lovers of
nature. All outlay seeks the great
est possible security. The only
enemy to the forest seems to be the
fire. Investment in well selected
timber lands surpasses all other IN.
ycstncnts in absolute worth and
certain increase in value, i'll Il posi-
tive demand for future products,
and in IA certainty that neither time
nor custom nor fashion can change
the public want for this material,
so long as it can be supplied ut any
reasonable cost. Legislation can
not change its value; public opinion
cannot eiiacc its worth; competition
production cannot reduce its de-
mand or increase the number of
trees, except through intervals OF
seventy-tive to 100 years, devoted
to the planting and growth of for
est trees. Investments Ill manu-
features are liable to great fluctua-
tons in value from changes i'll tar
ifs, changes in fashion, changes IN
markets, changes in price of labor.
Timber lands are subject to no such
liabilities. Investments III railroad
property are entirely at the mercy
of the popular will, OF adverse leg
islation, of the universal cry Of mo-
nopoly, freight determinations, ex-
orbitant freight and passenger tar
ifs. Timber lands are free from
any such contingencies. Invest
ments in corner lots in city proper
ty are dependent for Il profit upon
the popular within in location, upon
the rise or fall of certain interests,
upon the economy or extravaganza
of city governments, and upon the
amount of land thrown upon the
market. The product OF timber
lands is a staple article i'll demand
the world over, and not dependent
upon single markets. Investments
in stocks, in ships, even i'll farms,
are of tluctuating and uncertain

Apples.

Il. G. S., New Sharon, writes the
Mirror and Farmer that he had al

standard Rhode Island Grecnlng.

In hiring man ON the farm look
to their habits. A smoker is likely
to burn your buildings; IA careless
man will waste and destroy twice

IN seeding down this Spring some
regard may be had to the previous
record of the field for clover. If one
or two crops of clover seed have
ever been grown on it, many of the
seeds thus scattered will reappear
in the new seeding. This is called
volunteer clover, and on fields
where it may he safely expected
four or five quarts of common clov-
er seed per acre may prove a sutli
cient seeding. Land unused to
clover should be seeded at least a
