Dairy Notes.

Mr.. Burnett thinks that he can
keep silage even ten years in his
silos, and that by having enough to
keep over he may hold out a dry sea-
son or he able to average an extreme
" productive season with one that is
less SO.
One of Mr.. Burnett's curiosities is
cow which is one-quarter deer and
three-quarters Jersey. Her mother
was cross between a Jersey COW and
buck deer. She is very large
mixer, with remarkably gentle dis
position, but very timid and easily
disturbed at the presence of stran-
gers.
A suggestive illustration of the IA
cility which butter absorbs smell from
unsavory surroundings is given by
the American Dairyman, from the
experience of gentleman farmer,
who furnished a fashionable district
in New York with gilt-edge product
of fancy cows: "The demand was in
excess of supply. and the goose hung
high Suddenly the butter was way,
way off. What could the matter be?
The grass fields near the dairy had
been MANFRED, and the butter had
taken the odor straight to the tables
Of city consumers.
In the following paragraph are con-
densed some rules for making butter,
published by the Royal Agricultural
Society, England, which every but
ter-maker will do well to heed: l.
Rinse all dairy utensils in cold water.
2. Scald with hot water and rinse
again with cold. 3. Always use the
thermometer. 4. Churn and cream to
be at temperature of SO to $50 in
summer and go in winter. 5. Ven
tilate churn sufficiently. 6. Churn
at forty to forty-fve revolutions per
minute. I. Stop churning immedi-
ately the butter comes. The butter
should be like grains of mustard seed.
s. Draw off buttermilk and wash the
churn till the water is clear and free
from buttermilk. 8. Make a strong
brine and pour into churn through a
hair sieve. 10. Remove butter and
work on butter worker. Never use
the hands.

Full Of Thought.

Full of thought and suggestion Is
the remark made to me the other day
by a dressmaker of wide experience;
81 have had many schoolgirls
among my customers, but [ never yet
fitted one that was not more or less
deformed."
To my questions, if she meant that
the girls were really deformed, and if
so, to what she attributed the fact,
she replied:
eyes, deformed; by that 1 mean
one shoulder or hip is higher than the
other, or the shoulders rounded and
the chest correspondingly contracted,
and l believe it is caused by the care
less manner of sitting while at study
and the habit Of carrying to and from
school heavy books always on one
arm. l knew one girl whose lett
under arm measure was considerably
less than the right, owing to this hab-
it, who, after her attention was called
to the fact, carried her books on the
right arm and after while brought
herself into shape"
Growing girls should be watched
and constantly urged to carry them
selves in an erect position when walk
ing, and to bear the weight equally
upon both feet when standing. In
after years our daughters will blame
us if we neglect them in this respect.

Loose Farming.

1t is a serious mistake for farmer
to undertake more than he can do
well and thoroughly. 1t is much
better to properly cultivate ten acres
than it is to half do twenty, and, gen
orally speaking, as much of crop
would be raised on ten acres under
such circumstances as there would be
on twice ten. There is no industry
where real thoroughness gives more
evidence of advantage than farming.
The thrifty, tidy, handsome farms we
see have not been made such by care
less manipulations. The proper prep
aration of ground for any crop is half
the battle, for no matter how prime
the seed, the soil must be congenial,
both in kind and preparation, to Sc
cure the best-paying results. Quail
ty in farming will give better harvests
than quantity. Every intelligent
farmer must realize the fact, and OBJ
servation will prove that it is the
small farms that are the most profita
BILE. Large farms rarely have the
number of men employed that is nee
essary at certain seasons. Seeding
time comes, and bad weather has de-
layed the work, and the consequence
is it is rushed through, half done, and
then the next job is performed in the
same way. Many farmer has had
to have work done over the second
time, and then the yield is not as
much as if it had been properly done
in the first place. A successful farm
err was recently asked what his system
of farming was, and replied: 81 try
to make my farm self-supporting. |
diversity my crops, and propose in
the future to plant less, manure more
and work better. | keep as much of
what l produce on the farm as posi-
ble." In reply to the question how
farming could be made to pay, his
answer was: "By giving your farm
as close attention as merchant or
any other business man gives to his
business, by diversifying your crops,
raising on the farm everything you
use as far as possible, by paying cash
for what you are compelled to buy,
thereby avoiding time prices" This
is the secret of successful farming in
nutshell.

Make it Right.

There are few persons who are not
conscious of having wronged their
fellow-men. They may dispute it,
question it, or deny it; but they know
that it is true, nevertheless. The
question then arises, what should be
done? There are many who know
the wrong, but will not admit it; there
are others still who both know and
admit the wrong-doing, but who take
no steps toward repairing the mischief
they have wrought, or undoing the
wrong they have done.
Strictly speaking, the wrong act
done can never be undone; the wrong
word said can never be unsaid; but
no man who has been guilty of wrong
should rest satisfied until he has done
his utmost to make suitable. repara-
ton.
If he has wronged his neighbor pc
cuniarily, let him make restitution,
not in scrimped and scanty measure,
but literally, heartily and ungrudg-
ingly. Let him restore fourfold. If
he has said wrong things, let him
promptly and openly recall them.
Let his apologies be as distinct and
hearty as his accusations have been.
Let him in manly and Christian
way, so far as in him lies, remove all
occasion of grievance. Let him see
to it that the false impression he has
given be corrected, that the ISLANDERS
he has uttered be recalled. Thus,
and thus only, can he win back the
love he has forfeited, and hope to re-
ceive the blessing of the Lord whom
he has offended.
