Dairy Notes.

IT is we'll to remember that to make
the finest favored and longest keeping
butter the cream must undergo ripen-
ing process. The ripening is very tardy
when the temperature is low, therefore
keep your cream where it is warm.
PROF. HENRY gives the following as
a good ration for a dairy COW where corn
fodder constitutes the main portion of
the coarse fodder: Corn stalk, cut, If
teen to eighteen pounds; clover hay,
five pounds; bran, six pounds; corn meal
four pounds. This may be fed either
twice or three times day as the feeder
prefers.
THIS is the experience of man who
had a COW that was MIXED week after
week by hired men. He observed that
the amount of butter he carried to mar
ket weighed about pound more on each
alternate week. He watched the men,
and tried the COW after they had finished
milking. He finally asked the girl who
5oOk care of the milk if she could ac-
count for the difference. why, yes.
When Jim milks, he says to the old COW,

HortlcuItural Hints.

THE WOrden grape is growing in IA
vOr as an earlier and better sort than the
Concord. The vine is hardy and free
from rust and mildew, while the fruit is
sweet and pleasant to taste.
SPRAYING fruit trees is a sure method
of saving the fruit from insects. All
intelligent fruit growers are satisfied of
9his. One pound of London purple to
80 gallons of water will do the job, &C
cOrding to Secretary Hammond of the
Illinois Horticultural Society.
GRAPES can be protected from the rot
to a certain extent by scattering air
slaked lime over the vines and grapes
every two or three weeks. If the ground
be we'll lined after the grapes are
harvested, and later in the season
all leaves, grass and weeds burnt,
with another application in the spring,
the rot can be prevented. As the spores
remain on the ground the use of the
lime destroys them.
WHERE raspberries and other small
fruits are grown in the garden and the
labor is not great for so doing, they
should be banked up with dirt as pro-
lection to the roots and canes against
frost. Trees are also benefited sy hav-
ing earth banked against them. The
earth should be removed early in the
spring and the ground leVeled.

THE DAIRY.
Treatment of Cows.

Many dairymen can profit by the sug-
gestiOns contained in the following adj
vice, given by an old farmer to mis- hired
man. 1t is related by a correspondent to
the american DGjTywGp:
Don't hit that cow" called out an old
farmer to his hired man whom he caught
with uplifted stool over the back of one
of his animals.
The labOrer reluctantly lowered the
threatening utensil and gIOwered sui
lenly at his milk despatched front.
John, you're a new man here, said
the farmer kindly, and 1 see that you
don't know my rules. Inever allow help
to abuse my cattle, the first Offense L
cOndOne, the second merits their dis
charge"
But this beast nearly kicked me over,
damned milk pail, and dashed its con-
tents in my face, explained wrathful
John.
She has never raised a hoof against
me, and have owned her seven years, "
answered the farmer calmly.
Perhaps you have never MIXED herr"
Il have-hundreds of times. I think
L know the trouble, John-sO, BOssy,
so, and the owner petting her reassur-
ingly, called the mixers attention to a
bloody scratch on one of her teats.
John opened his eyes.
That's what made her step away from
me at first, with an air of conviction.
What did you do then?"
John looked confused.
Il hit her clip with the stool and
then went on milking"
And then?"
And then she kicked"
Exactly; and you would have done
precisely the same if you had been a
COW; it's a cows only means of defense
when she's sanctioned. Now, John,
when one of my COWS exhibits uneasi-
ness under your hands again while milk
ing, do not display any temper, but deal
gently with her, and at once search out
the cause of the disquietude, for there
must be one for which she is not blam-
able. If it results from scratching or
chapped teats, you viii find over the
stable door (where L always keep it for
that purpOse,) tallOw to allay the irritant
distress. And, further, we do not want
to handle COWS as if they were machines,
only abstain from venting our rage on
them through a sense of fear or pru-
dence; but we must be compassionate
toward them, gain their good will by
treatment so gentle and cOnsiderate that
our presence in their midst awakens in
nOcent and eager anticipatiOns on their
part of some relishable bit of fodder for
the manger, or a kind word from the
owner"

Seen from the Cottage Porch.

Trees about the house make it more
homelike and attractive, and shield it
from the cold winds of winter and the
hot sun of summer.
A grapevine over the out building
will not injure the building, will in
crease the attractiveness of the premises,
and will furnish wholesome, agreeable
food at slight cost.
When the garden gets as much atten-
tiOn as the swine lot, and the fruit trees
as much feed and care as the cattle,

humor on the farm. and just as much

THE HOUSEHOLD.
To Clean Kid Gloves.

One of the simplest and best ways by
which light colOred kid gloves can be
cleaned is this: Put the gloves on your
hands, take an old and very soft hand
kerchief, wet it in sweet milk, and rub
it on piece of white sOap-Castile or
any toilet soap viii answer the purpose
then apply to the sOiIed parts of the
glove. Do this until the spots disap-
pear; then wet the entire glove and pull
It and stretch it until it is dry. If you
are faithful it Will not dry in wrinkles.
One word of caution should be added to
the above; lavender coIOred kid gloves
cannot be cleaned in this way, as they
Will fade and look spotted.

THE ORCHARD.
Green Grape Vine Cutting.

A young shoot of the grape vine, if
trimmed of leaves and nearly buried in
sand, with one bud above tho surface,
will form roots and make a healthy,
vigorous plant by fall. Possibly its
wood Will not be mature enough to
stand the winter, but it may be protected
out of doors with a covering OF earth, or
taken up and wintered in a bCx of sand
in the cellar. We have done this some
times to get a choice variety cheaper
than it could be bought, though the
ypleasure of succeeding in the expert
ment must offset the labor which it in
wolves.

Rental value of EYES.

A Montana sheep breeder offers to rent
ewes at so cents a year, the man taking
them to have the wool and increase, but
bound to return the full number at the
end of the specified time. AS the sheep
are worth perhaps $3.50 each, the capt.
taIist makes 20 per cent. for his money
and risk. This seems large, but IN the
Territories farmers often pay higher
rates than this. Two per cent. a month
is a frequent price for the use of money
there. This is "a per cent. a year, and
as it is often compounded several times
in twelve months, it amounts to consid-
erably more than this.

Better Horses for Farmers.

Most good farmers are shreWd enough
ford to work poor or inoffensive horses.
The poor horse is worse by far than a
poor tool. 1t ought TO work daily, for it
costs something to keep it every day in
the year. Many old horses past their
prime are kept by farmers at greater
cost than good horses would be. They
have to be heavily grained all the time
to do, perhaps, one-half as much work
as a younger horse would in their place.
The team never works alone. If it is
inefficient it lessons the efficiency of
whoever works with it. Efficiency in
farm work is the practical test on which
value demands

pay, the 1amount varying according to
size Of animal and kind of food given.
With the best chance for pasturing
stock there viii be nearly or quite two
hundred days of barnyard or stable feed
ing. Thirty pounds per day for this
time makes a total of 5000 or three tons.
If all this has to be purchased it Will eat
into the value of pretty good stock at
present prices of feed. With ordinary
stock the farmer can only make himself
whole by feeding it with rough fodder
that would not be readily salable, but
may be changed into valuable manure.

Low-Headed Orchards.

The whole tendency Of modern tree
planters is to have trees, especially for
fruit, headed low. The tree is less ex-
posed TO winds, its fruit is more easily
gathered, much of it being low enough
for man to pick while standing on the
ground or mounted on short step-lad-
der. The fear that the tree may be in
the way of cultivation should not make
it necessary to prune high. After the
trees get to the bearing size, mulching,
to keep the grass down, is better than
cultivation,

Farm horses are much larger than the
average of twenty years ago. This is
due to the large impOrtations of Perch
erons and CIydesdale horses, which
have been crossed on the native stock
throughout the country. Improvement
was formerly made through the thor
oughbred running stock, which i'm
parted endurance and speed, and the
result was an excellent foundation for
the use of the heavy draft horses for
crossing. Good farm horses now weigh
as much as /, 900 pounds.

Dorset Sheen.

With all breeds of sheep common to
America the season for coupling is from
Aug. 20 to Feb. 1, and the lambs drop
from Jan. 10 to July L. Many sheep
owners never separate the rams from
the flock, and lambs are dropped in such
fOcks as above. The Dorset sheep is the
only exception to this rule. 1t is a ma
tive of South England, and one of its
chief characteristics is its fecundity and
its ability to breed at an early season.
The Dorset takes the ram in April, yean
in September, and the lambs are ready
for market at Christmas. Many of the
ewes produce and raise twins or triplets
and are ready for the ram Immediately
after yeaning, so they may thus produce
two crops of lambs in a year. In lOcali-
ties where market lambs can be disposed
of, this peculiarly might be turned to
good accOunt.-FGrnl, Stock and Home.

How to Have Healthy swine.

Carefully abstain from giving any
medicine whatever. Keep large and
small separate, and not more than ten in
a lot. Feed regularly and literally
variety of wholesome food, always some
bulky food, and let each feed be eaten
up clean before more is given. Give
wallowing- places ashes, charcoal, and
salt, and plenty of exercise in timber
pasture, yielding shade, roots, nuts,
acOrns, ETC., but no dOubly sOured Stops.
Provide ventilated shutters from wind,
rain, and snow, but no litter. Hogs with
litter get too warm. Ifyou wish disease
put your hogs to the straw pile. Main
tain cleanliness in all things. Breed
only mature animals, and never from a
show herd. The offspring of immature
or pampered animals is predispOsed to
disease. Give pure water from deep
wells protected from surface water.
Well water is not freezing cold in win
ter nor lukeWarm in summer. Water
from creeks (unIess fed by springs),
ponds or pools is disease breeding.
Pigs should be forwarded in early spring
and kept on only growing fOOds-milk,
bran, slOp, oats, green rye, grasses,
clover, sweet cOrn-until late fall; then
fatten rapidly on corn mostly, but also
green rye, blue grass, pumpkins, boiled
potatoes and turnips, with bran, steamed
clover, hay, etc, says Home and Farm.

It is True of Other Counties.

Seldom has farming land in Washington
county been in so little demand. 1t is a
matter Of much surprise 10 us that there are
no purchasers for farms, which we regard, at
the prices for which they can be boughtnow,
as the very best possible safe investment
There is scarcely a possibility that land will
ever be cheaper than il is now and every
probability that It will be higher. A good
farm can be rented out so as to bring the
landlord from six to ten per cent. interest on
its cost and then be made more valuable each
year. A gentleman who owns farm OF 100
acres in the eastern part Of the county, which
he values at about $50 per acre, or $1,000,
showed as the other day his farm accounts.
He rents the farm out forthe halfand has good
tenant who, so far from injuring the land, he
thinks, is rather improving 1t each year. bis
expenses for the past year we're: Phosphate
Ss5 taxes $50. seed wheat $50, clover seed,
fencing. repairing, &C., 500. Total, 1885.
His receipts were, from wheat $500, corn
$3.50, rye, oats, potatoes, apples, &c, Sl25.
Total. 81 ,404. In this calculation the corn
crop is partly estimated, but the estimate
which is based on what has already been
cribbed, he assures us, is rather under than
over the mark. His net receipts from his
farm we're, therefore, 81 ,070, or nearly per
cent. on his money. Besides this he received
all his pork, apples and great many other
articles for the use of his family. But to ac-
complish this requires eternal vigilance and
good management, and the right kind of a
tenant. Under these circumstances we re-
gard it as rather remarkable that our people
are bidding and scrambling for bonds and
stocks which pay not more than three or four
per cent. interest, while they let these invest
ments in good farm lands 60 begging.
