The Dairy in Winter.

ANY enterprise out OF the common,
but we'll managed, and having for its
object some product in staple demand,
is certain to be profitable. Rearing
early lambs for spring sales is such an
enterprise; forcing strawberries, the
cutting of water-cresses, and many
other special products have all re-
allied satisfactory profits. But the
winter dairy is an industry in which
staple product is produced at a
season when it is scarce and rarely OF
good quality, and when every part OF
the accessory farm work can be done
more easily and cheaply than at any
other time. Cows have to be fed in
winter anyhow the dairy calls for
much indoor work; it is easier to
keep the milk warm in this season
than to cool it in the summer; there
is leisure from field work which
presses in the summer; a good butter
brings a double price in winter; and
the cows that are yielding butter at
this season are at their vacation in
the summer, when they can be turned
to pasture and require no care that
will interfere with the cultivation of
the crops. A winter dairy and the
cultivation of valuable market crops
90 nicely together, and furnish regular
and easy employment through the
whole year. The patient housewife
gives undivided attention to her house
and garden and her pet poultry; wor-
ries over no sour milk, nor frets in the
sitting heat over the churn, with all
its summer difficulties but enjoys the
genial season and prepares with COM
fort for the much easier management
of the dairy, when no other employ
ments interfere with it. The conven-
lent modern improvements of the dali
ry are we'll adapted for winter use and
the cheap and simple ordinary milk
pans are all that can be desired at the
season when the cheaper fuel can be
used for warmth easier than the dear
er fee for the purpose of cooling. For
feeding cows in a winter dairy there
is no better food than clover hay, well
cured corn fodder and corn meal and
bran. There is too much risk in feed
ing ensilage of sacrificing the quality
of the butter. The stable must be
warm, light, airy and arranged so as
to secure perfect cleanliness. Pure
water from a we'll and never to be
given cooler than 500 is indispensi-
BILE. Some succulent food is desira-
BILE. Pumpkins are especially useful
in a winter dairy, and mangolds are
the best roots turnips are not admis-
sible. To warm the water is a waste
of labor when good deep we'll is
available. Good feeding and robust
health will keep the COWS warm
enough, but the stable should never
be SO cold that the manure will freeze
in it. Carding the cattle keeps the
skin in good condition, and helps to
maintain the vital warmth.-Cor. ".
