There will always be many localities
where the farmer must depend upon
selling the butter that can be made on
the farm. There is no market for the
milk and cream and If the most is made
Of it the manufacture into butter must
be done in such way rs to return a
profit. Taking the average price paid
for butter during the summer. especially
at the country stores, and there j. little
or no profit in the making, in fact in
many cases it would be better to feed
the milk to cakes or growing pigs than
to attempt to make butter. The product
NUT be above the average in
quality if it be sold at price above
the average if a profit is realized.
This is the advantage IN the farm cream
cry. One very essential condition in the
making of good butter is to keep the
milk and cream at as even Il temperature
as possible The milk must be cooled
a rapidly as possible and then be kept
at an even temperature; properly man
aged the farm creamery will do this
more uniformly and with less trouble
than cellar or spring house. Water
from the average farm we'll, if changed
often, will keep the desired temperature.
One of the most convenient arrange
ments for doing this is to build a house
in front Of the we'll, put in the cream.
cry so that the water will run through.
A tank should be placed on the out side
in order to avoid wasting the water In
watering the stock generally the water
will be changed sufficiently often to keep
at good temperature The floor of the
house should be of gravel rs if kt pit damp
it will be cooler than soil 1t should be
arranged so as to be readily ventilated
when necessary. With proper care in
other rcsnects, a good quality of butter
can be made even in the summer and
good butter always sells at price that
will pay for making and where several
cows are kept family creamery can he
made profitable. The extra labor he
tween making poor quality of butter
and that which is good, is small and the
difference in price and the increased de-
mand will afford compensation. But
good butter cannot we'll be made with
out proper convenicnces, and the cream
cry is one of them.

beautiful exercise. THE Triple Arch, is
to be performed by twenty-five young
ladies and certain fair members of this

Hamilton, and the rehearsals are conducted
with painstaking care, ensuring the audience
of a pleasant time.

The Merits Of Wood Ashes.

In an ESSAY before the American Hor-
ticultural Society at the Cleveland, Ohio,
meeting a few years ago. Mr. j. NJ.
Smith gave an account of the means
employed for the prevention of evil eff
fects of prolonged drought. Among
these means free use of wood ashes
was named as one Of the simplest and
most effective.
Recently Mr.. Smith has made com
paratiye test of the effects of wood ashes
and barnyard manure on a scale large
enough To show results that are more
than indications" Two acres lying
side by side were treated exactly alike
in every respect except that one was
manfred with uuleached wood ashes,
and one with stable manure. Mr.. Smith
reports the results of the trial TO the
Prairie Farmer "a follows:
The acre fortified with ashes yielded
IL bushels the most, and il there was
any difference in quality il was in favor
of those that had the ashes. Now, the
fair inference would be that the ashes
were much the best manure for potatoes
Let US look "A little further: The last
half Of May and the first half of June
were wet and c&d, and So far the two
acres seemed to keep about even, About
June 18th the weather became very dry,
and there was little rain upon the plants
until they were ripe. Very soon after
the ground began to get dry it would he
