Prof. Roberts, of Cornell university,
speaking on milk production, says the
dairy farm must be fertile if we are to
produce milk of the best quality. Some
people faye an idea that rough, poor
pasture lands are fitted to produce good
milk, but this is mistake.
The price of creamery butter is gen
orally higher than that of the dairy. 1t
is tribute to the creamery, which is
mostly used by the better class OF but
ter-makerS, but just as good butter may
be made by the old-fashioned mode.

used by the maker.
A farmer near Wilmar, Mimi, says

winter than it was last.
For cholera, take a fowl as soon as

bread and plenty of black pepper: don't
wait for it to eat, but feed it with a
spoon. Make it eat or it will starve. 1t
taken in time this will usually effect a
cure.

Farmers, year after year, are getting

An English court has actually de-

THE CIDER FIEND.
A Kick at the stuff Palmed Off for
Straight Goods.

1t has been noted that the dairy COM
missioner in Minnesota was unable to
find any good cider in the ten samples
he tested. The fact, however. is not
peculiar to this state. The Chicago
Western Rural says the cider fiend is If
repressible. He is sleepless. He makes
.'sweet pure cider'' the year round. He
makes just as much cider when there
are no apples as he does when apples
ale plenty, and his work of rotting out
stomachs goes steadily on. The cider and
vinegar makers kick and the public kicks
that part of it that has sense
enough to know that there are barrels of
cider that never saw an apple-but the
infamous business of making bogus
cider goes on. 1t would seem as if
everybody ought to know that sweet
cider cannot be made when there is
nothing to make it of, but the barrels
Of swill that are made right along
through the year and palmed off for
cider find ready sale; and now that
good pure cider is in the market.it must
come in competition with these vile
compounds. We do hope to see the
time when men who do this sort of work
will not find it as hard to break into the
penitentlary as they do now.

TO FARM WE'LL,
There Must Be Talent as in Any
Other Avocation, Says III. S.

Eucns
Many rich men run farms on capital
already made or from big profits in
other business, but the man who makes
his farm pay by the use Of his brains
as capital has real talent. Who could
not run farm or grocery store, or a
newspaper, if their capital were sup
piled them and their continuance did
not depend upon their profits? 1t would
be but an easy experience to be
butcher. OF baker or candlestick-
maker. if one were absolutely sure that
he would have all funds at his command
which the business required, whether
he made them OF not. But let
us take for our model many farmers
right in New England or York state,
men who do not practice stinginess.
who live well, are intelligent and edu-
cate their families high. And there are
many such. We find there men OF good
brains and stirring habits; just the men
who, if early trained in any other yoca-
ton would have succeeded. All honor
to the thinking, working and successful
farmer!

Stirring the Ground.

Prof. Atwater. of the Connecticut ex-
detrimental station, has been making
very elaborate experiments to test the
value of frequently stirring the ground
in time OF drouth. To describe the de-
tails of this experiment would take too
much space, but they were of char
acter which would seem to make the
conclusions reached reliable. From
heavy soil not stirred the loss of water
was l.66 inch, while from the same soil
stirred as in frequent cultivation the
loss was 1.26 inch, or a saving of 4-1Uth
of an inch. On light soil, while the UNI
stirred lost 1.31 inch. the stirred lost but
70, a saving of slightly over Cloth of an
inch. This was for period of sixteen
days. From this it will be noticed that
light soil has about 80 per cent greater
ability TO withstand drouth than heavy
soil. In an extremely dry season the
economy of moisture by cultivation is
undoubtedly great enough to save crop
of corn, or at all events very large per
cent of it.
Mai. Atwood, of the Massachusetts
EXperiD ent station. says that silos are
not going out OF fashion in New En-
gland, as some have reported, but on
the contrary, are increasing in popular
estimation and numbers every year. In
1885 the state census report made the
number of silos in Massachusetts, 1,029.
MiddleseX county took the lead with SO
silos: Worcester followed with 81, etc.
The total number in the state now are
fully 1900. How many are there in
Ohio? Can not the state board find out
and let the public know III its next
monthly report.

THE POSTAL SERVICE.
POstmaSter-Gener WananakerS
Annual Report Summarized.

Postmaster-General Wanamaker, in his
first annual report, recommends that the
Offices of 9 Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General and of a General Secretary-the
latter at a salary Of S1O,OOO-be made, so as
to enable the head Of the department 10
render better service.
Referring to his correspondence with the
Western Union Telegraph Company, MI.
" anamaker says:
Il respectfully ask that such legislation
be enacted as is necessary to empower the
Postmaster General to enter into contract
with responsible parties for term not eE-
ceeding five years. on conditions favorable
to the Government, for the purpose OF eStaD-
fishing Limited Post and Telegraph Service
On the subject of Sunday mails Mr.. Wanna
maker says:
y shaIlmake use of all proper means tend
ing toward the minimizing of pOstotfice work
upon Sunday beca use | believe that the Gov
eminent should as far possible, make no
requirements which viii prohibit its employees
from the enjoyment Of q day OF rest.
In touching upon the subject OF penny
postage the report says:
''One-cent postage is an easy possibility OF
the near future. It must come as a matter
of course. If introduced tomorrow the cut
ting il hall Of postage would reduce the re-
venue on letter postage by probably Sc, 600
600. We are not ready for this while the
present deficiency exists. When the blessing
OF penny postage comes it should not require
a tax in some other form to make up its cost.
Moreover, it would seem to be wiser first to
improve the facilities rather than to reduce
the postage while the service still remains
consplcuOusly imperfect
As to postal savings banks the Postmas-
ter-General suggests that they be established
at 10000 OF the fourth-cIass Offices for the
convenience of the people wanting a place to
deposit their money, but expresses nc Opir-
ION on the suggestion that the Government
pay interest to depositors The report refers
to the pressing need for the erection Of a de-
partnental building at Washington and urges
that this be done.
