milky way, but there is reward for
them even in this world, for an ex-
change says-and we guess he is right
that "a good dairyman manages his
cows so that they will not kick. This
is easily enough done, if they are prop
erly trained when they first come to the
pail. A young COW first MIXED ought
to be managed very kindly and not feel,
from rough handling, that she is put
on the defensive. She should, rather,
feel from the gentle manner of the
milkman that she will be kindly treated
and not abused"
POULTRY.-W are sure that not
everybody can succeed with fowls on
large scale; but we do believe in poul-
try on the farm. This is profitable, but
it is not measured alone by the money
gained. AS the Southern Cultirotor re-
marks, it " develops attention to small
things, inculcates economy, fosters
saving, forms methodical habits in all
farm work and life, creates interest in
the rural home and rewards with
healthful food and pleasant recreation,
not to mention the pecuniary profit. 1t
will occupy and educate the sons and
daughters in the elementary lessons of
success in life, toll and thrift"
PERMANENT DAIRY SCHooLs.-A
writer in the Dairy World advocates
the establishment of such schools. He
says: "The proper way to give practi-
cal instruction is through permanent
institution, where all the conditions,
from the breeding and feeding of the
cows to the perfection of the dairy
product, are under perfect control.
This alone will secure practical results,
which will be a satisfactory ocular
demonstration to the looker-on and
listener. No man, however expert,
can travel from dairy to dairy, spend
ing only day or two in place, and
compelled to accept the conditions as
he finds them, and give general salts
faction"
NEW KINDS OF POTATOES These
are getting as plenty as new kinds of
strawberries, with not many more
among them that are any real improve
ment over what we have. A speaker
at an agricultural meeting in New York
lately said that he had read potato adj
vertisements where, upon figuring, the
potato matured just one week before
planting, and that was outdone by
another advertisement of potato that
matured two weeks before any other
introduced. He added that he had pur-
chased the Late Rose few years ago
at S1.75 per bushel and later the Penn
sylvania Bell at the same price, and
found them identical. The year before
he had invested in the Queen of the
Valley at $40 per bushel, the North
Star, the Red Star and the Red Star
No. !, and found them all alike.
New BUTTER-MACHINE.- A little
city boy informed his mother, on his
first day at the farm, that he had found
out where milk came from. g Cramps
pulls it out of an old cow" said he
with shining eyes. And now comes 6
new invention that is going to 'pull
the butter right out of the milk. The
new-fangled apparatus arrived only {
few days ago in New Y DIRK from Europe
and the editor of the american Dairy
man, who has looked it over, has this t
say of it in his paper: "The writer eX
amined it very closely, and from
appearances believes it will be sue
cess. The owners of this wonder
full invention, which enables you to taxi
the butter out of the milk in granular
form at the rate of one pound per min
ute, will give public exhibition of tn
butter extractor running at full spec
in few days. This machine is calle'
the butter extractor and its posi-
bilities are truly startling. The partie
having control OF it have located il
New York city, and have taken tn
necessary steps to secure ample proteC
ton under our patent laws, and wi
soon be ready for business"
HARDLY A SAFE CoNCLUsION.-Th
Orange County Farmer says CIV
rather prefer butter that is made by
woman, if she is up to the times in bu
ter-making. We feel sure there is L
dirt in it 'even by implication
Orange county must be paradise il
deed if the women there are all lii
that.
