made as follows: Wheat bran 500

or linseed oil cake 200 pounds. wheat

pounds, corn meal 400 pounds. A small
proportion of ground beans or peas
would add TO the value OF these mix
lures. A mixture of 600 pounds Of
barley. 600 pounds OF cottonseed meal
and POO pounds Of linseed meal will
also be good, orthe proportion Of these
ingredients can be varied. Gluten
meal might be substituted in place Of
linseed meal. II you want to grind
corn and cobs together, increase the
proportion OF cottOnsecd or linseed
meal employed in the mixture, es-

Buying and Selling Milk

The truth is, says Prof. Shelton, that
the man who buys the milk of large
number Of herds, good. bad and indif-
ferent, paying for it by the gauge of
cream which it yields, is probably not
greatly the loser or gamer thereby.
Experience has taught him the amount
Of butter he has reason TO expect from
the composite cream; but the loss to
patrons, especially those whose herds
have been bred up in dairy lines, must
often be very great in the averaging
process. The farmer whose Jerseys
gave 8 l-2 to 10 per cent. of cream,
yielding nearly five per cent. OF butter,
must, il all patrons are paid alike,
contribute in the course of a year q
very pretty sum towards the support
of his neighbours herd of scrubs which
gave nearly II per cent. Of cream and
only 81 per cent. Of butter. Rural

Milk secretion is very closely con-

"A curious illustration of the treas
ures OF the soil. often overlooked for a
long time. is the discovery Of mineral
wax in Utah. 1t was discovered three
years ago on the line of the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad. covering an are;.
OF $50 acres. Over one thousand tons
year are secured. 1t looks like the
wax that is made by bees. and can be
used for the same purpose. 1t Is
mixed with paraffine in making
cundles, and is used in the insulation
of electric wires. It needs no refining
for ordinary uses. The discovery is a

Life OF = Country Lad In the Beautiful
Roman CampaRna.
Light-hearted. dirty and picturesque
enough is little Giovanni Marini. and
as merry as one Of the gay butterflies
that fit from flower to flower on the
great Roman Campagna. which
stretches for miles away without the
walls Of the Eternal City. As full Of
music. too, is he as the silver-th roated
nightingales that sing by night and
day in the fragrant orange trees. and
he MARBLES and pipes from morn I'll
eve rs he runs bareheaded and bare
footed all summer over the lovely
Italian hills which surround his little
mountain home.
What cares he II the peasant hut he
calls home is small and dark and redo
lent Of oil and garlic. and his chief
fare porridge called polenta aud
heavy cakes OF chestnut -four? For
Mother Nature has been very kind to
the swarthy. dark-eyed children Of
the South, and though Giovanni rarely
has paoli to bless himself with, few
boys and girls have more
charming nursery and play-room.
The bluest vault of heaven forms
his ceiling; the walls are hung with
dark cypress boughs, white almond
blossoms. and tho shimmering leaves
Of the olive and mulberry; the floor is
carpeted with eyer-changing sunshine
and shadows; while the flowers. the
birds, and the bright golden-rose bee
ties are his toys and favorite play
mates, next to the wee little donkey,
which is its pride and JOY.
Giovanni is country boy, born and
bred; but every winter since he was
seven years old he has gone down into
one of the cities, generally Rome. in
company with his little sister Pima, an
old blind man and woman who plays
on the mandolin; and these may be
seen almost any day from November
to April basking in the sun on the
Scalinata, a broad flight OF steps well
known to artists. waiting to collec
baiocchi (pence) from the charitable.
or to be engaged by some painter as
models; and many time. clad in q
dingy sheepskin, has Giovanni posed
as little John the Baptist, and had
his beautiful regular features immor
talized on canvas.-Harper's Young

THE PRIVATE DAIRY.
Colonel +. u. Curtis Made . strong ri
In 1tS behalf.

Colonel +. ID. Curtis Made . strong Pies
In Its Behalf.
Colonel L. ID. Curtis made a strong
plea for the private dairy before late
meeting Of the Michigan dairymen. He
placed the total number of pounds Of
butter made last year, in the entire
country. at l,1Oo,0OO,OoO. OF this,
IOO,0O0.OOO was the outside amount
made in creamerics; the rest came from
the private dairies. He pronounced
the well-conducted dairy the desidera.
tum Of the times, and regarded the
creamery rs transitory institution.
The latter has done and is doing noble
work. 1t has been IA great educator.
1t has led to several important discov-
cries in regard to the quality Of milk.
and has taught farmers the Importance
Of a uniform quality Of product, and
he hoped one would be started in every
neighborhood where ignorance in dairy
matters prevails. 1t will be Of imme.
diate and lasting benefit, teaching prac.
tically how to care for milk and how
to make butter but l venture the
assertion" he continued, that more
pounds Of really fine butter were made
in the private dairy during the year
1888 than were made in the creamcries
OF the country, and that the best pri.
vate dairy was superior in quality to
the best creamery.
1.-The private dairy ought to beat the
creamery every time, because it can
better control all the conditions, from
feeding aud wateriL.: the cows to the
final manufacture Of the butter. II any
one can rot do this. or at least equal
creamery butter in quality. he ought ia
90 out OF the business Of dairying; but
If he must continue it. then by all
means let him carry his milk or cream
to factory. ifone is within reasonable
distance. The chances are that he vii
gain instead of lose money, while re.
lieving himself and family Of u good
deal OF hard work. But if he under.
stands his business. and has help. or
the means to procure ii, let him work
up his milk Ut home. thus selling adj
ditional labor with his product. while
keeping all the refuse on his farm.
Still it is "A poor il not an impoyerish.
