Packing Butter.

It detracts greatly from the market
value of butter to mix different makes,
which generally mean different colors, to-
gether in solid pack. Buyers of coun-
try made butter in large quantities usu-
ally work it over again and color it uni
formly before packing it down in solid
mass. This, however, I'M ures the grain,
and the result is to average the quality of
the good and poor that are packed to.
gether. When practicable, it is best to
keep each make by itself and ship it to
market in rolls, wrapped in bleached mus
lin, wet enough to keep from sticking to
the roll AS a general rule, country
storekeeper will realize the most from his
butter trade who sells it as soon as he
can. and before it has lost the delicate
favor and aroma Of fresh butter by long
keeping.
In packing solidly in tubs or frkins
from fifty to 100 pounds are used. The
packages should always be made of hard
wood When it is desired to keep early
made batter through the summer to
seasoD If scarcity and better prices, the
following plan has proved one of the best:
Pack only sweet and fresh rolls where
the buttermilk has been got out and the
grain of the butter is good. Wrap each
roll in thin muslin cloth wet in strong
brine and pack the rolls closely in the
package without tanning or disfguring
them. Then Immediately cover the but
ter entirely with clear, strong brine and
set it away in cool place The first may
be weighted down and more put in after
ward, but none should be left floating
partly out of the brine. In this way each
roll is entirely submerged and does not
come in contact with the air

Gapes in Chickens.

Wright, who is a good authority on
poultry, thinks gapes infectious, or at
least epidemic. Unless. perhaps, thus
communicated by others, its occurrence
is caused by foul water, exposure to wet,
and want of nourishing food. The actual
symptoms exhibited are a number of
small worms in the windpipe and gasp
ing for breath. If taken early it will be
sufficient to put little camphor in the
drinking water or little turpentine may
be given daily in meal. In bad cases the
worms must be removed by introducing a
loop of horse hair into the trachea and
turning it round during the withdrawal
repeating the operation till the worms are
extracted A feather stripped almost to
the top may be used instead of the horse
hair. Small pellets of camphor are some
times given, and the feather may be dip
ped in turpentine diluted with three
parts water. When young chickens are
kept in clean coops and out of the early
morning dew and rains, they are not often
troubled with gapes.

FIGS. l, 2-PLOwING UNDER GREEN CROPS.
The chilled plows have generally given
better satisfaction than those with steel
mold boards, and are mostly better for
avoiding adhesion of the soil. A personal
examination of the different plows made
or sold in your region of the country
would doubtless give more satisfactory
results than any single recommendation
For turning under a short or moderate
growth of green crop, important aid is
rendered by the skim coulter, such as is
represented in Fig. 1. For taller growth
of rye or clover, two or three feet high, q
weed hook or heavy chain is indispens-
able. A good weed hook is represented
by Fig. 2. The curved hook sweeps and
bends over the green crops in front of the
mold board, and they are at once buried
out of sight.
A simple and nearly straight iron rod,
in the proper place Gig. 81, throws the
green crop over into the previous furrow.
This form has the advantage of not being
caught by any distractions; but it is i'm
portant that it be properly adjusted for
efficient work and that it is stiff enough
to hold it's place.

Opinions Expressed by Scientists and Pro
gressive Farmers.
The two principal desires Of the potato
grower are. of course, quality and guam
tity, and II only one may be realized the
former has the preference. Potatoes
without disease are, or ought to be. the
great aim in this day Of rot. blight and
scabby tubers. OF late years not only
learned scientists, but progressive farm.
ers, have endeavored to discover the cause
and preventive for scab in potatoes.
Some of our ablest authorities, includ.
ing DIR. J. B. Lawes, of England; Z. s.
Carman, editor of The Rural New Yorker;
DR.. f. M. Hexamer, DR.. Henry Stewart
and Professor Goeesman, after extensive
and repeated experiments, have become
convinced of the efficacy of special com.
mercial fertilizers for the potato. Mr.
Carman, who believes that wire worms
are at least one cause Of scabby potatoes,
says: Whether the wire worm dislikes
potato chemical fertilizers or whether
these do not furnish the shelter which
the worm prefers, we do not pretend to
say We do say that in all of our tests
the potatoes grown with farm manure
have invariably been more injured with
wire worms than those grown with fertil.
izers."
The feeling very generally prevails that
manure, especially fresh manure, is pro
life cause, in many soils, Of potato scab,
and ought to be avoided for this crop. In
general, 1t is claimed that potatoes grown
on chemical fertilizers are more free from
rot scab and blight, and are smoother,
more uniform and of better quality than
those grown on unfermented stable ma.
nure
In word. experience has proven that
organic manures tend to promote scab
and rot in potatoes. The organic sub
stance seems to afford a soil peculiarly
adapted to the development of fungi and
insects, which in time attack the pota-
toes. On the other hand, results favor
the belief that commercial fertilizers
made from minerals and properly treated
animal products are comparatively free
from fungi, and that such fertilizers tend
to prevent or destroy any chance fungus
growth in the potato itself

| Half natural size.
The need of harder varieties of roses
than we now have is made apparent over
large part of the rich prairies west and
northwest Of Lake Michigan, where no
variety less hardy than the yellow Harri-
son can be grown unless more care is
given in the way of winter protection
than is usually bestowed by the average
owner of prairie homestead. Professor
Budd closes his letter with the remark
that the professional rose growers should
take up this much needed work" The
editor of American Garden heartily in

Use.
The experiments Of Mr. Carman on the
grounds of The Rural New Yorker have
resulted in sixty hybrids between Rosa
rugosa with pollen from many different
roses. One of the first of these to bloom

A Desirable Hybrid Rose.

Professor Budd, of the Iowa state agri-
cultural college, thinks that the question
of the possible improvement of the beauti-
full foliaged Rosa rugosa ought to be
agitated. He writes:
$50 far as yet tried all of it's forms from
China, Japan, Poland, north Silesia and
central Russia are perfectly hardy and
perfect in foliage on the great prairies Of
the west and northwest, where, under
common cultivation, nearly all the varie-
ties grown at the east either fail on &C.
count of severe winters or imperfect foil
age and flowers in hot, dry summer air.
Some of the red and white varieties Of
east Europe have already developed all Of
their stamens into petals, and there are
good reasons for believing that judicious
crossing and selection would soon give
list of varieties uniting the grand foliage
of the rugosa with the beauty and per-
fume of bloom of some of the favorite old
varieties"

FRED T. DUBOIS THE MAN.

All the Republican papers OF
Southern Idaho have conceded the
fact that F. T. Dubois is the only safe
man for the convention to nominate.
He can certainly beat any Democrat
in the election, and it is doubtful if
there is another available candidate
who can. Below is what the Enter
prise says:
"On the 29th day of this month
the Territorial Republican conven-
ton will meet at Haley to nominate
a Delegate to Congress. Two years
ago the Republican nominee was the
successful candidate. The same
thing may, most probably will, recur.
Under such circumstances it is proper
to warn the delegates of that conven-
ton to be diligent and circumspect.
A mistake may do an irreparable
damage to our Territory; false step
may cut US all to pieces; a choice of
the wrong man may eventuate in the
total obliteration of our fair Territory;
mistake may result in the complete
annihilation of the Gem of the Noun
talns. We say, therefore, to those
delegates, whoever they may be
consider well, do not let passion and
party rancor rule your better judg-
ment; deliberate calmly and with
due consideration of the important
duty you have to perform.
There is one man who has stood
nobly and manfully by our Territory;
he has faced the spite and venom of
his enemies with frmness and man.

L. Dubois. Although we may differ
radically with Dubois In some of his
actions and principles, yet on this one
issue we are with him heart and soul.
On the questions of division and seq
