The Butter Extractor.

The improved system OF dairy
management now in use was,
as might be expected, fully demon
strated at the late Royal Agricul-
ture show. Cream is 10 longer, IN
the most progressive dairys,allowed
TO rise spontaneously, centrifugal
separators, whirling the fresh milk
in many hundred revolutions a
minute. cause the heavier particles
10 seek the circumference of the
vessel, while the lighter cream
collects in the centre and is drawn
of IN fresh state. AT the " indsor
to show an improvement on these
centrifugal separators was intro
duced under the name of "Butter
Extractor" With this the milk
enters the machine as in ordinary
extractors, and the skim milk is
delivered in much the same man
ner, the great difference being that
Instead Of cream being delivered
by the other tube, butter is given
out in the graduated form. Al
though much interest was excited
by the butter extractor, the fact
that its appliances are quite com
plicated will, it is thought, render
It's coming into common use at
present somewhat uncertain. 1t

Clever Bit OF Evasion.

There lived years ago in one OF
the Cumberland border towns
Harrison or BridgtOn-a man by
the name of Emerson, noted for
his ready wit aud skill in parrying
thrust or avoiding a direct an
swer to a question. During a not
ed trial in court at Portland an at
tempt Was made to impeach the
testimony of one OF the witnesses,
and to prove that his general rep
utatioh for veracity was not first

Many questions were ad lressed
TO Enerso by the attorney, to
all OF which be gave evaslve aud
unsatisfactory replies. Finally the
lawyer, quite impatient Of the tan
talizing process. asked:

FARM Ind HOUSEHOLD.
BARNARD MANURE.


In substantiatlon of late
article on the necessity of animal
manures, we notice that Col. Ran
dolph Harrison, tue we'll known
farmer aud writer of POwhatan,
and ,ate commissioner OF agricul-
ture in Virginia, speaking OF the
tobacco crop, lays it down as a
fundamental principle that no fer
tilizer equals stable or barnyard
manure for growing high and 2opu-
lar types of Virginia tobacco. He
claims that il is absolutely essential
to success IN that branch OF farm
ing, not only for quantity but for
quality. OF course he is speaking
of the bright tobacco, for it is we'll
known that q rather thin soil, with
10 manure at all, aud only a
moderate dose OF fertilizer Is the
plan for that. But for the large,
rich, shipping and other types, a
very rich soil is essential, and MT.
lie says the soil must DO rich after
a particular fashion, the plant
Graves stable and barnyard ma
nure, and stops short OF perfection
without it. Colonel Harrison has
had experience, and knows OF
what he speaks.
We are perhaps engaged IN an
unpopular task when we warn
farmers not to rely so much on
commercial fertilizers, but TO invest
more and stake more on animal
manures, stable and barnyard,
hogpen and poultry. No soil can
be made permanently rich without
them. They are absolutely es-
sentlal for all clay lands, acting
both che nically and mechanically,
the latter of which commercial
fertilizers never do. For rich,
heavy crops, nothing acts so we'll
as stable aud barnyard manures.-
This cannot be disputed.
The autumn season presents op-
portunity for increasing the supply
of these manures. Let all STOCK
be housed and sheltered, aud the
stalls kept well Uttered. Make
big compost piles. Save the ponl'
try manure. Send the slOps, soap
suis, sweepIGgs, &C., TO the com
post heap or the big pen. Save all
animal manuFes, and above all pay
strict attention to those OF the
barnyard, such as come from the
horse stalls and cattle sheds
