They seoTed at the dreamers with rainbow

And circled the world in the parallels:
They eharted the wales and the sunny mead

Where Ministries might ride fer year and

They sounded The depths and pierced the shad-

For fances they gave us their microscopes;
For knowledge, aruoble OF fac. and doubt;
Wing broken and Gagged, like . bird from the

Romance Of the wandering stars looked out
Cold reason. they sad, Is the earthly Eden;
Go, study Its springs, and its ores assay;
But iairer the norers ard fields forbidden

They questioned the slumbering bahy's laugh

All mysteries past and to come hereafter.

But sweeter the streams and the Wild birds

The friendships and loves that were true al.

The gladness unseen. like fair bell ringing,
In that wonderful country far away.
Nay, not their reason or dear illusion,
But truer than truths that are measured and

oh land OF the spirit. where no intrusion
From the bookmen doubters shall aye be

There still breaks the murmuring sea to greet

On the shadowy valley and peaceful bay;
And souls that were truest still wait to meet

For number of years the highest
quotations of butter have been in the
.'creamcry" grades, and yet doubt
seems to still exist in some quarters as
to what the real distinction is between
creamery and dairy butter. ! have
known some small dairy farmers to
procure some patent appliance to assist
in their work, called creamer, or
creamery. and then honestly believe
their product was creamery butter
and send it to market as such. They

distinctively not to any special tool,

under which the butter is made. II

and deceptive. There is little danger Of
deceiving experts and dealers by such
misapplication of terms. but consumers
might be thereby misled. The addition
of the word private does not help
matters; there is really no such article
known to commerce as private cream-

properly used at all, it should be ap-

COWS FOR THE DAIRY.

Advantages OF Breeding Calves Over Buy
Ing Them.
The advantages of breeding cows for
tho dairy over buying them should be
duly considered by the dairyman. We
will suppose he has. as he certainly
ought to have done. tested each COW so
that he knows just what her value is.
and whether her quality is such as to
render her desirable and profitable
animal for his use. Knowing this, he
can keep the hcifer calves from his best
cows. and having made u proper selec-
ton of bull to use in the herd, he can
depend upon having by this means =
superior lot Of young heifcrs to add to
the herd. In this way, and by wedding
out the inferior cows, he can constantly
improve the character Of his herd, and
increase the returns from it.
This result can not be effected with
the same expense. or in the same time,
where the cows are purchased here and
there without any positive knowledge
of what they will do. A test will show
that some of them, perhaps the MAJOR
ity. are Improbable. and must be dis
posed of and others taken in the same
way to replace them. H. who adopts
the plan Of raising his | st calves will
soon be convinced of the great advan-
tages of this plan. National Lire Stock

A Process That seems Mysterious TO Many

Let the cream be not over f0rty-eight
hours old and kept all the time at a
Temperature below sixty degrees. When
| il has reached state OF slight acidity
wash the churn out with cold water,
| and be sure to get the cream at the cor
rect temperature, which may be fifty
eight degrees If the day is hot, or two
or three degrees above this If the day
| is cool. Now churn il at a moderate
speed for thirty minutes, watching 1t all
the time to see that IL does not come too
soon to butter When the grains OF
butter come on top little smaller than
grains OF wheat. stop churning and
draw of the buttermilk, Swimming OF
the particles OF butter that float on the
buttermilk and put them back In the
churn.
We have now arrived at the critical
point in making granular butter where
many fail and lose faith in the practice.
That is the temperature OF the water
for washing the granules. Use the
thermometer and see that the water is
between fifty-fve and sixty degrees.
Pour n liberal supply OF this in the
churn so that the butter will float freely
| in it. Now stir the mass up gently so
as not TO make it form n solid mass;
draw off the water and pour in more OF
it. Repeat this process until the water
| is perfectly clear. showing no signs o
buttermilk in the churn.
The granulcs are now ready to re-
| ceive the salt, and this can be added
either in the churn, which may be
done in the shape OF a strong brine or
by sprinkling the salt on it and stirring
| il in. If the latter method is adopted
the butter must be gently worked, and
until the salt is thoroughly worked in,
when the butter is ready for the mold
or tub.
II ii is desired TO retain the butter in
granular form it must be sailed with
brine, and be careful to keep it cool al
the time. This, however, can only be
recommended for exhibition purposes,
MS butter will not keep well when SC
much exposed to the influence OF the
atmosphere. Ordinarily after the but
termilk is thoroughly washed out with
cool water the granules are taken Out
oi the churn and spread on the butter
worker, and the salt scattered over Il
and gently worked in. This is the
perfection of butter making in the light
Of modern science and experience
though II requires some experience u
perfect the process. -American Dairy

"A pail of milk is not always what
it seems, and the dairyman who invests
time, money and feed in milk produc-
ton wants to study into the matter and
see if he is getting milk that contains
the elements OF butter or cheese. or
whether there is not an element OF

'drowns the profits. ~ y Tribune.
"A New Jork dairyman, milking a
large herd OF average cows, took five
OF the best and five OF the poorest ones,
and kept an accurate account OF the
cost OF feed and care. He found that,
while the five good ones were paying

ually costing him seven dollars per

The dairyman should see that his

stay out in winter only n short time
each day, except on warm, pleasant
days, and that in winter they are never
allowed to stay out in cold storm or
