Enriching MIX by Feeding.

There is q great natural difference in

fed by feeding. Jersey cows make yellow
butter and good deal of it, according to
the quantity OF milk, even in winter.
II the feed be dry and poor, they will not
give so much. A COW that naturally gives
thin, poor milk may be made to give
somewhat better milk by giving her rich
food, as cornmeal or oil meals. Probably
If this was continued while the cow is
bearing calf the progeny will inherit this
tendency 20 put more of the milk into he

Indiana Lie stock

In his report upon the number and value
OF farm sRimsls, etc the Commissioner of
Agriculture says of Indiana: THE scarcity
of food, occasioned by drought, CAUSED
many of the farmers to sell off a portion
OF their stock, in order TO winter the re-
mainder in better condition. Where the
stock were suitable, they were fatsed and
sold for slaughter, thereby placing many
more on the market than would have been
sold had the conditions been otherwise.
7 There is no appreciable increase in the
number OF horses, the slight advance in
prices being due to the fact that large
per cent. of the young horses are from high
grade or i'm ported sires Horses have been
Tree from contagious diseases during the
past year. At this time all classes OF live
stock are apparently in good, healthy con-
dition. 1t is evident that more economy Is
being practiced by farmers in regard 10
methods of feeding stock; grinding the
grain and feeding with cut hay or fodder
is CT ming rapidly into favor. Diseases Of
various kinds have prevailed among the
hogs during the past summer and fall; yet
the loss has not been as heavy as in the
season of 1886. Farmers are not keeping as
many hogs over this winter; this Is on
account Of high price OF corn. But the
number fatted and sold or slaughtered
at home will not aggregate much less than
the number similarly disposed OF in 1886. "

a Creamery.

A creamery is not liable to be profitable
unless the milk Of at least 400 cows can be
obtained for it. The most profitable
cresmeries are those that receive the milk
OF from 500 to 1000 COWS, half OF which
have dropped their calves during the fall.
BY having steady supply of milk during
every month In the year the creamery can
be run at its full capacity all the time.
When this can be done the cost of running
the concern is greatly reduced, as the
machinery and building are never idle aud
the operative can be employed by the year.
The management can also sell the butter
TO better advantage. They can arrange
with hotels, clearinghouse and private
families for supplying a certain number OF
pounds OF butter during every week in t ie
year. When this is done commissions for
selling butter are saved and all the oney
ii brings gees to the producer. Few who
indulge in good living will now eat old
butter IL they can obtain that which was
recently made. The demand for fresh
butter in winter is now 30 great that IT is
found advisable TO operate a creamery dur
ing the entire year.
A creamery should be located where the
ground is dry and the air pure. MIlk and
the butter that's made from IL will readily

To start Sweet Potatoes,

The sweet potato can not be planted out
before what may be called good corn
weather, and as this will not occur before
June, the middle of April is time enough
to start the bed. Eighteen inches OF
manure, or just enough to give gentle
bottom heat, is sufficient, the sun under
the glass doing most Of the work. After
the bed is made and heat started, il Is
ready to plant. Lay over the manure six
inches of sandy soil; If all sand, just as
well or better. Halye the potatoes length
wise and lay fat on the sand-they may
nearly cover the ground. Sprinkle over
the top just enough sand to
barely cover the potatoes. After
the young sprouts have started
their roots into this sand and
the tops are about six inches high, they are
slipped Off, and each shoot is plant and
ready tor the ground. Only light friable
soil will grow them profiably. This is
thrown up by the plough into ridges four
feet apart. The plants are dibbled out on
these ridges one foot apart-the cut worm
often destroys quantities of the sets, and
must be watched for, destroyed when found,
and other sets put out where needed. At
least couple of crops of sprouts can be
taken from one set of tubers, and any ii me
in June will do to plant them, 60 there is
no danger OF not saving plenty of plants.
IL tskes from 5000 to 10 900 sets per acre.
Stable manure is the best.

For spring and early summer uss, the
usHal custom is 10 depend upon what are
called sets, or the potatoe onion. The sets
can be obtained CT any scotsman and are
a smsli-siZsd onion, grown expressly for
this purpose, though such as are not used
for green onions will also ripen up like
other onions in the fall. These are planted
Just as soon as the frost is out of the ground
In the spring In rows q foot apart and two
or three inchts distant in the rows. By
being thus thick, they can be thinned for
small green onions, and the balance
allowed to grow larger. They will sell at
from 81 % per peck up to s. per bushel.
The silver skin are the dearest and the top
or button onions the cheapest. The latter
ring 81 so per bushel and make about
seven bushels to the acre. The potato
onions are planted in the fall from sets,
and remain in the ground ali winter, being
hardy.
For ordinary crop of winter
onions the seed is sown in
the spring in rows foot apart
with drilling machine used for that pur-
pose. II takes i've TO six pounds TO theacre.
There is no especial Gull ure different from
ordinary crops Keep down weeds with the
hoe and thin out if too thick, these thin
DiDgs answering tor young onions. If the
soil is rich and the crop too close together
TO permit free growth, the onions as they
ripen in the fall, will crowd over each other
so there is q continuous row six inches or
more wide of onions OF ali sizes. Any or
dinsrily good soil of frisble nature is
suitable for onions, and, unlike most crops,
a rotation does not seem so necessary for
their well being, many raising them on the
same land for years, though of course with
heavy manuring. This crop Is much bene.
flied by a thorough pulverizing of the soil
which may account for its apparently do
ing so well on the same soil year after year.
Large red wethersfeld, yellow danvers and
white Portugal or silver skin are the lead
ing sorts. The latter is often sown thickly
for small pickles.

SYMPTOMS OF CATARRH.-Dull,
heavy headache, obstruction of the nasal
passages, discharges falling from the head
into the throat, sometimes profuse, waterys
and acrid, at others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody and putrid; the eyes are
weak, watery, and inflamed; there is ringing
in the ears, deafness, hacking or coughing to
clear the throat, expectoration OF offensive
matter, together with scabs from ulcers; the
voice is changed and has q nasal twang; the
breath is offensive; smell and taste are i'm
paired; there is a sensation of dizziness, with
mental depression, hacking cough and gen.
eral debility. Only few of the above-named
symptoms are likely to be present in any one
case. Thousands of cases annually, without
manifesting half of the above symptoms, re-
suit in consumption, and end in the grave.

How to Tan sheepskins.

To those who occasionally kill sheep we
would say Remember the following recipe
for tanning sheep skin. They make the
best kind of mats for the house or carriage,
and good Cotswold skin, well tanned,
makes good cushion for the wagon seat,
and for many uses it is valuable.
"For mats, take two long wool skins and
make strong suds, using hot water; when
it is cold wash the skins in it, carefully
squeezing them between the hands to get
the dirt out of the wool; then wash the
soap out with cold, clear water. Then dis
solve alum and salt, each half pound,
with little hot water, sufficient to cover
the skins, and let them soak in it over
night for twelve hours; then hang over
pail to drain. When they are well drained,
spread or stretch carefully over board to
dr.. When little damp, have one
ounce of saltpetre pulverized, and sprinkle
on the flesh side of each skin, rubbing in
well; then lay the flesh sides together and
hang in the shade for two or three days,
turning the under skin uppermost every
day until perfectly dry, then scrape the
flesh side with blunt knife to remove any
remaining scraps of flesh. Trim off pro-
jecting points; rub the flesh side with the
hands, and it will be very white and hand
some, suitable for door or carriage mat.
They also make good mittens.-Lambskins,
or eve sheepskins, if the wool be trimmed
off evenly to half or three-fourths of an
inch long, make beautiful and warm mittens
for ladies and gentlemen, and the girls with
little practice can make them
