LIE DAIRY.

When you turn the cows to pasture give
them feed of nay or corn-fodder in the
morning and at night.
Do not expect a ''bigmess" of milk from
cows which have Just been brought from
pasture by a boy and two dogs which kept
them on the jump.
For feeding mich cows corn meal is
good. as every dairyman knows, but when
mixed IN suitable proportions with wheat
bran Its effects is much better than when
ted with coarse provender alone.
A correspondent says, by the liberal
use of cabbage | have been able not only
to keep up, but to largely increase the WELD
from my cows, and that without any de-
leterlous effect upon the animals or the
product
An experimenter says if milk is to be
kept sweet for a considerable time. no re-
gard being had to its dreaming in the
future. 1t Is advisable to heat it at once to
l2O or l40 degrees, and then to cool it to
at least 80 degrees.
Creameries are only valuable to the dairy
men whom they serve when thev bring to
the business the highest excellence OF
dairy knowledge. order and cleanliness
found in the best private diaries. and apply
those methods through the creamery sys-
tenn of the whole community.
Uniformity of temperature is very large
l!y conducive to a regular milk yield, and if
its quantity is dependent upon the kind
and amount of food consumed. its quality
Is affected by the kind of air inhaled. Cows
should be kept comfortably warm in win
ter and cool in summer. Milking should
be done in gentle, thorough and clearly
manner.

When to "Work,, Butter.

The term work. - in the manufacture
Of butter, ought to be considered obsOlet
1t is now tolerated only in the sense of
pressing the butter into a solid mass.
Butter Is no longer worked by intelli-
gent butter makers to get the buttermilk
out of 1t, for it is washed out while the
butter Is IN the granular condition: and
1t Is no longer worked to incorporate
the salt with 1t, for the salt is already stirred
IN while the butter Is in the granular con-
dltion. What then, is butter worked
for? For no other purpose than to CRAFTY
a foolish habit. 4 correspondent of an
exchange, VINO says he washes and salts
butter while in the granular state, talks
about working" butter after it Is salted.
and says: Il claim that working i'm
mediately after sailing destroys the grain
of the butter to a large extent Possibly
he means that pressing it into a solid mass
and packing 1t Immediately after sailing
Injuries the grain. But. in doing this
there Is no need of working the butter
There Is d chance to do some injury to the
grain however, in pressing and packing
butter if the salt is not dissolved and the
temperature is too low. No one should
use salt. IN this day and age of enlighten-
ment. that does not at once dissolve and
become brine on being stirred into the but
ter. If the salt is dissolved no more in
jury can come to the grain If it is worked
Immediately after sailing than if the but
ter lies any given length of time. Indeed.
the sooner it is worked after the salt is
dissolved the better it is for the butter.
which gradually gets stiff and set, and has
to be broken up if it stands long. But if
the salt Is undissolved it should not be
worked or packed. as to work it is to ma
terially injure the grain. The work Of So
hdfylng AM packing Is very much facili-
tated by raising the temperature to so
degrees or little above. The granules
readily adhere and lessen the necessary
amount Of pressing and handling.

right good fortune The Thirty-seventh
Massachusetts Regiment had recently
joined the Army of the Potomac. then in

little used to forced marches. and many of
them were sadly exhausted before they
were ordered to halt shortly after mid

Somebody cried out that the leading
regiments were fOrding the Potomac and
then all hands heard. or seemed to hear,
the splashing of shallow water as men
and horses went daShing through it. Still
there were no signs of halt to prepare
for crossing. The men were evidently
expected to look out for themselves in
this respect and Immediately the road
side was lined with soldiers pulling off
their shoes and stockings and rolling up
their trousers. The rustling came nearer
and nearer as the column advanced and
before long the smooth. shining surface
of the river came plainly to sight. The
officers were already riding into it. So it
seemed. But as the barefooted stragglers
came up. picking their way and looking
for the ford. they discovered. all at
once, that the river was nothing but big
corn-feld, in which the bivouac was to be
made! The sound of the waters was
simply the rustling of the leaves. as the
troops in advance had pulled down the
shocks for bedding The noise, it is need
less to say, was soon drowned by shouts of

Influence of Tobacco.

The first impression made by the smoke
of tobacco is through the blood, and mas
much as the whole volume of blood
courses through the body in from three
to FIVE seconds. the indications of its
effect. from the man. compounds of
which it is composed. are felt universally
in the young smoker. After short time,
the blood becomes charged with the
poisons, the organic nervous chain and
the organs it supplies are powerfully i'm
pressed.
For the young and adolescent the habit
of smoking causes impairment of growth,
premature manhood, and physical pros
tration.

Allowing bushes to grow in a pasture
may be eXcusable, but there appears to be
no excuse for allowing them to grow in
moved or cultivated fields If there is
anything that detracts from the appear
ance of farm. it is by having the sides by
the walls and fences covered by d growth
of weeds. We have been past farms.
where. IN consequence of sprouts. bushes
and weeds, it was almost impossible to
even get glimpse of the field it bordered.
even though it was clear beyond Where
such cases exist there is need of reform
and there Is no better season of the wear
IN which to perform the labor of clearing
away the nuisance than the winter. Old
hedge rows can be cut down. the brush
piled up and burned, and the improvement
in the looks of the field will more than pay
for all the labor required This condi-
ton in cultivated fields is quite frequently
the result of negligence during the leriod
of cultivation. 1t is hardly possible with
the pillow to break up the sod close to d
fence or wall, and in far too many instan-
ces this narrow strip Is allowed to remain
untouched during the entire period of cul-
tvatlon. ami Is the very place where foul
weeds will lodge and finally terminate.
We hardly ever had a field in that way
but what it became pretty well started with
a foul growth Of rank weeds or bushes.
Although it requires a little extra labor at
first to accomplish it. it is usually well to
grub out from the fence, and especially so
10y the sides of walls all that cannot be up
turned by the pillow, so that the entire sur
face of the field may be cultivated and
kept clean. Then when seeded down there
will be no unsightIy hedge rows to he left
to be cut at some more convenient season.
There is yet force in the old saying. "A
stitch in time saves nine"

The pig may justly be considered the
poor mans friend, 1t costs but little to
keep it, comparatively, it disposing of po-
tato and apple-peelings, and the refuse of
nearly all vegetables. Then it is growing
night and day. If it has anything like a
fair chance for health, it will remain
healthy. and in the end furnish meat for
the family, and gravy with which to flavor
the vegetables and render the more nitro
genous foods more digestible and assimil-
able. The proverbial pig of the Irish
family was a wise and substantial provi-
sion for those ground down to the very
earth as the peasant Irish are Little of
the milk from the cows does the pig get.
but whatever the family cannot eat the pig
does, and comes on after fashion. lust as
the poor family manages to live, and at
last furnishes some choice dishes for It's
nearest surviving friends. But even in
this country, where the laboring man is
not driven to such extreme restitution, the
pig IS blessing to him. 1t is kept with
comparatively little expense, and is a very
substantial addition to the winter stores
when slaughtered In the fall.

barbing of spear and arrow heads vary.
The arrows particularly are often 6endishly
contrived to lacerate terribly, and to be
withdrawn only by free cutting. Poisoned
spears and arrows are used. but from such
information as / could gather concluded
that the danger from them was easily ex-
aggerated. The people have not the
knowledge TO eoncoct poisons that will at
once last on the head of the weapon and
be quickly soluble In human blood. 1t is
doubtful, indeed. if they have any poison
that would produce serious general effect
if introduced into the circulation. altho Oh
their poisoned weapons make ugly sores.
In short, they cannot fight with specifics
any more than white men can; but must
rely upon their individual courage and
and address, In which they are not de-
fclent, and upon the quality of their
weapons. which are formidable enough.
