THE DAIRY.
Butter and Cheese Factories

The following rules for the govern
ment of butter and cheese factory pa
irons in the care of their cows and milk
have been adopted by the Sheboygan
Falls, Wis, dairy board of trade:
That the patrons give their cows free
access to salt, or salt them regularly as
often as once or twice n week.
That they provide them with pure wa
ter, and as far as possible prevent them
from using any other.
That their cows be fed no whey or any
similar slop.
That they must not allow their cows to
be worried by dogs or other brutes, biped
or quadruped.
That cows in heat should be separated
from the herd as far as practicable.
That they see that their pals and cans
are clean, and use no rusty or wooden
ones.
That they keep all foreign substances
out of their milk asi much aspossible,
and wash the cows udders before milk
ing, remembering that no straining will
cleanse milk once dirty.
That the milk cans be set in water at
the commencement Of milking, and let
the water in the cooling tubs always be
higher than the milk in the cans.
That night and mornings milk must
not ne nlAef unless IN case OF small
quantities, short distances to be carried,
and the morning milk cooled before
being put in cans.
That cooling places be at good dis
tance from dung heaps, decaying straw,
hogs troughs, etc, and exposed as much
as possible to pure air, and not suffer
pools of stagnant water to collect around
thfm.
That the milk be stirred thoroughly
during the cooling process.
That in perilous times the nights milk
be cooled to 600 and the mornings as
cooIa cold water around the cans will
make 1T during milking.
That the cans must not be closed till
ready to start for the factory.
That the cans of milk be protected
from rain by sheds or coverings above,
and clear from the tops of the cans.
That the patrons bring milk to the
factory from none but healthy cows, and
not until four full days after calving.
That if in doubt as to the good quail
ties of the milk on account of intiamed
udders, curdled milk, bad teats, etc, try
1t on your own tables, and if you do not
like to try it, you may be sure your fac
tory men do not wish to.
That all patrons report accidental OF
unavoidable variations from these rules
to their cheese maker, that he may note
the result

From the Yankee Blade
1t used to be the custom, and is nov
in many localities, ito beat down" in all
trades with storekeepers and merchants.
An amusing example of this practice is
given below:
In the old haggling way of trade it
was customary 10 demand great deal
more than the asker hoped to get. One
time, on the Texas frontier, man came
into camp riding on an old mule.
"How much for the mule :" asked
bystander.
"Jist a hundred dollars" answered
the rider.
'I'll give you S." said the other.
The rider stopped short, as if in
amazement, and then slowly dlsmount'

Another story, somewhat Of the same
sort, is related by an old tenant farmer,
who, on paving bis rent, told his land
lord that he wanted some timber TO
build house, and would be much
obliged if he would give him permission
TO cut down what would answer Tor tie
purpose.

Farm Notes.

NEVER feed hard boiled egg to chicks.
1t causes bowel troubles. 4 raw egg,
beaten mp, and then soaked up with
bread crumbs, generally corrects such
ailments. We have also found boiled
rice, fed cold, to be excellent.
PROF. l.. b. ARNOLD said at one time
that the best favored butter that he
found was made from cream that had
been spread out pretty thin in temper
ate air, which is free from foreign odors,
currents, and unusual dampness. Say
sixty degrees and thirty to forty hours
exposure, at two and one half inches
deep.
IT takes the same kind of food to re-
sist cold weather rs is required to add
fat to the body. As a consequence, it is
almost impossible to fatten an animal
exposed to the cold blasts of winter.
This winter being particularly mild, 1t
is to be expected that cattle will be well
ripened when properly cared for.
THE farming of the future must be
gradually contracted in the number of
acres. Less hard work over broad fields
and closer attention to special paying
crops on the fields that surround the
house. More pasture, more stock, and
plenty of ensilage, this lnsures the pur-
chase of less commercial fertilizer and
the very best results from the contents
of the barnyard.
II taken in time, black knot in cherry
trees can be cured by an application of
coal oil, taking pains to see that none
of the oil is allowed to get on the I'M
affected spots of the trees. When it can
be done, cutting off the deceased limbs
will answer. But either of these cannot
cure, as rule, the quicker the tree is
cut down the better.

Smooth Faces in Fashion.

From New York Paper
1t is becoming fashionable tor men 10
shave their boards and go around with
smooth faces. This applies particularly
to the young men who have been wear
ing close-cropped boards, and mus
taches as long as the points of their
boards. 1T is not considered the best OF
form for these young men to be seen in
a public barber shop. OF course to have
their faces constantly smooth, they
must shave tho mselves or get shaved
someH here, but there Is beginning TO be
prejudice against sitting IN line IN
public barber shop, just as there has
been for some time against sitting on
the public boot black stands at the street
corners.
This fashion of the smoOth-shaven
face is said 10 have come from the act
ors Just as actresses influence the
styles of dress Of women. actors have
been 10 Il less notwithstanding the APP
parel and appearance OF a certain class
of men. The way of wearing the hair
which was prevalent a year or two ago
was begun by actors. Almost al actors
lave smooth faces, especially almost all
| the actors vino pose on the stage and
who attract audiences of women 10 adj
mIIe them.
The fashion Of having a smooth face
is Just coming in, and has not yet been
taken up 10 n great extent. A nan may
sacrifice his beard, but if he has had
mouth or a face which would be harsh
in outline without the curves of his
mustache to change it, lie will not
abandon his present advantages quick

Warning to Celestial Dudes.
From the Pekin Gazette

il r
The acting governor OF hIangsu,
Hwang, has issued a proclamation call
ing attention to the sumptuary laws OF
the collected statutes of the Tactsing dy-
nasty, which he says viii be vigorously
enforced as regards wearing apparel.
The people of this province (Which Ill
cIudes Soochow and Shanghai are, he
observes, VIGOROUSLY eXtravagant IN
their way of living, striving TO surpass
each other in the richness Of their APP
parel, and their want Of propriety IS
shown i'll the crowded state OF flower
boats and restaurants where men and
women assemble together.
The bright-Coiored Jackets and waist
coats Of the young men, embroidered at
neck and sleeves with flowers and other
ornaments, are shocking TO the view OF
sober, respectable citizens, who know
that money should not be squandered
bv men on such things. 1t Is a govern
of's duty to watch over the behavior OF
the people committed to his charge, and
he warns them, therefore, that young
men dressed in a foolish, eXtravagant
way will be arrested and 7 finished, and

Marriages of Saints and Sinners.

From the North American Review.
For it is 10 be observed that The saints
are always. or almost always, unmarried.
If either husband or vie is filled with
the ambition to be a saint, misery is as
sured. Christian deserted Mrs. Chris

act but what WAS he to do? What is
anyone TO do who feels vocation for
perfection, after marrying, in another
mood, as one who plays tipcat, drinks
beer and dances with the girls. This is
fruitful source of unhappiness
in married life; it matters not

THE BOATMAN.
BY ABBIE C. M'KEEvER
A sonnd of oars in the water.

A sound of oars in the water
A ripple of laughter sweet,
And the waves of the lake came creeping
In to their very feet.
ooh, boatman, why 30 tardy?
Make haste, for the sun hangs low,
And the isle of Edenland
Is at least mile below
But the boatman's face is grave,
There's an ugly cloud in the west.
Nonsense" the gay crowd answer,
And continue their song and jest.
But the little dark cloud widens,
And the sun behind it lies,
While the wind Der the silent lake
In piteous cadence signs.
ooh, boatIpani Seel the storm
Turn back, oh, turn back, prayl'
But the order comes too late;
There's touch Of snowy spray,
There's a sudden sweep OF wind
That tosses the frail boat DER.
And the angry waves dash onward
Out to the very shore.
Not one life saved-how pitiful-
For the shore is far away,
And the maddened waves roll higher,
And darkness follows day.
But, ali, no darkness covers
Another boatmans hand
The boatman God has sent
From out the Spirit Land.
His boat will brave the tempest,
VIII heed no stormy sea,
And the lost who clasp His hand
VIII bear Him company.
