Benefit of a Creamery.

An Eastern New York dairyman saws
that butter from creamery is always of
a uniform quality, as good as some diaries
and better than the average. Those to re-
ceive the most benefit are those who from
lack of the wife health and strength, or
from want of suitable rooms and machin-
cry, or other unavoidable or avoidabIe
causes, cannot make good butter. Those
who have good, well kept COWS and make
frst-rate butter, may not gain financially
by going into the creamery, but there will
be great benefit in the restful look and
renewed beauty of the wife or daughter.
The creamery confers benefit as an edu
Gator, introducing new associations, new
prsctices, new ideas and new trains of
thought. The improved methods, i'm
proved goods and improved prices of the
creamery are a powerful stimulus to
thought and progress. The Patrons, in
meeting each other and discussing their
creamery affairs, find that some with an
equal number of COWS are producing more
milk than others They find that
one has better cows, feeds better,
has warm stables, weighs the milk of
each COW, and keeps record OF each, and,
when be finds one that does not pay, sells
her and buys better. Others begin to
follow this example, and you soon see an
improvement and increased thrift on the
whole farm. The creamery is, therefore.
a stepping-stone in the path of progress
leading to higher condition both socially
and agriculturally. It is good mission
airy station In any neighborhood. Show
me section where there is a successful
creamery, and will show you good farms,
under high state of cultivation, aud good
buildings, and happy hoReholds filled
with choice read1ng-agricuAtur secular,
and literary. 1t is not enough that Patrons
milk what their cows give, churn ii, and
wait fer the wagon" Perfect cleanliness
should be observed in every department.
There should also be good feed and care,
No butter-maker can make gilt-edged but
ter from poor milk. Quality depends, to
some extent, upon the breed and individual
peculiarities, but feed and care are the most
important factors

A Cham Ice-HOusa.

About this time every winter the illus
trated agricultural papers present plans
for constructing ice-houses. They are
generally very artistic, and serve the pur-
pose of ornamenting grounds. A large
amount OF money is wasted in their con-
struction, and most OF the ice put into
them is wasted by melting. Mr.. w. f.
Brown, OF Ohio, writes TO the Country
Gentleman about ice houses as folio VS.:
I'VE do not build them for aesthetic pur-
poses, but to keep ice, and all that is
necessary, for this is a building large
enough to store a sufficient body of ice,
and SO arranged as to keep the packing
around 1t. have seen at cheese factories
in Ohio the toughest board shantles with
board roof of cheap lumber which kept an
abundant supply of the year through. A
shed eighteen feet.tsquare made of inch
boards, and with posts ten feet high, rilled
with ice, and space fifteen inches wide
all around It well packed with sawdust,
and the top covered foot deep, will keep
ice all summer If well packed and rightly
managed. The west and south sides of the
building should be protected from the d.
rect rays OF the sun, and IL you cannot To-
cate it in grove. make rough arbor and
cover with evergreen brush or boards. Ex-
anime the ice frequently after it IS put
in, and tramp down the saw-dust and see
that 1t is well packed at the edges. Tnis
will be especially necessary during the
wintry days of March, and a few days
neglect may involve great loss of ice. l
| prefer to have large windows at both ga
bles for ventilation, because the air will be
much cooler for it, and as the ice must be
taken from the top, there is where the
| work must be done in getting it out, and
it will be hot place to work in without
ventilation. As you take ice out do not
allow the saw. dust from the sides to fall
| down and accumulate until it is two or
three feet deep, or it will heat and melt the
ice, but remove it so as to have one foot
above the ice. Loss of ice is generally
caused by one of three things: L. Too
small a bulk stored. 2. Neglect to keep II
we'll covered and solidly packed. 3. AL
lowing the wet packing to accumulate un
| til il generates heat. Other material may
be as good as sawdust for packing. but
have had experience with none but saw
| dust"
