DAIRY DOTS.

The following dairy items are taken
from the columns of the Massachusetts
Ploughman:
MILK is an article whose merits and
peculiarities are little understood or
studied on thousands of farms. The
tons of poor butter made proves this.
TIE quarrels and squabbles of rival
breeders of fancy stock are beautiful to
see in case you stand from under"
But they all have value if one looks at
it in the right way.
A TOWN where the farmers have no
creamery and don't want one is good
town to avoid whom one wants Il farm
for home. 1t is progressive farming
that is attractive-not farming of the
Abrahamic sort
TIE details as to the feeding of farm
animals should be the subject Of care
full study, and experiment (where eX-
pertinent is needed) on every farm.
Most feeding is the result of habit, and
is followed as such without a why or
wherefore in multitude of instances.
IT is not the COW whose milk gives
the most butter that is necessarily 1.-The
best butter cow" but rather the COW
who costs the least in proportion to the
yield. If to get certain yield Of but
ter you must feed two or three times as
much in one case as III the other the
cost becomes an important matter. In
comparing Jerseys and Ilolsteins this
matter is sometimes overlooked.
THE sale and breeding of very high
priced cattle is confined mainly to CAPT.
talists who manage farm as side
issue" and an amusement. The farmer
who lives by farming pure and simple
can not indulge in thousand-dollar cows
and bulls. And yet the study required
in the breeding of fancy stock has been
of great value to farming in general
and is not to be discouraged.
A BUTTER test relating to the weight
of sailed and unsalted butter was lately
made at William Croziers farm, North
port, N. Y. Three hundred pounds Of
milk from his registered Jerseys was
set, and yielded 105 pounds of cream.
This was churned twenty-three minutes,
duly worked, and gave thirty-seven
pounds of unsalted butter Then thirty
seven ounces of salt was added and
worked in, and the butter then weighed
twentythree and one-half pounds At
least that is the published statement

Plan for Good Though Inexpensive Ice
House.
To cheaply build Il good ice-house for
forty to fifty TONS make it high, so that
out little roof is required. Tho founda-
lion should be three feet below the
surface to avoid frost. Two stories fif-
teen by sixteen is about right. Double
doors must extend to the roof. The
Corner posts must be rabbctcd as shown
to receive the matched board lining.
On the outside of these posts a light
frame should be covered with heavy
building paper two and one-half inches
from the lining and one and one-half to
two inches from the paper, the covering
should be nailed on lightly. This work
leaves two dead air spaces between the
sunshine and the ice and no sawdust
packing will be needed. A ventilator
IN the shape of blinded window should
be placed in both gables under the roof
and the best of drainage must be pro-
vided below.
In the cut the outer line shows the
covering; the middle one the paper
lining; strips of plank are spiked over
the four-by-four posts to which to nail
the covering, and the inner line
is the matched lining OF course
the plan can be modified to suit circum-
stances, the main thing being to have
the dead air space. An inside tight

Some Methods of Destroying These Pcs
tiferous Birds.

Some Methods of Destroying These Pes
tiferous Birds.
The United States Department of
Agriculture recommends the following
treatment: Dissolve arseniate of soda
in warm water, at the rate of an ounce
to pint; pour this upon as much wheat
as it will cover in vessel which can be
closed so as to prevent evaporation, and
allow it to soak at least twenty-four
hours. Dry the wheat so prepared, and
it is ready for use. Three kernels of
this will kill. Winter is the best time
for operations. Other birds are then
absent, and sparrows are hungry,
alighting in fiocks in the streets after
passing teams and along railroad tracks,
where grain is scattered from wagons
and cars. Here poisoned wheat may be
administered with wholesale destruc-
ton to them, and little danger of harm
to any thing else.
If il is found that the birds are too
wary to take the poisoned grain 1T first,
they can be led up to it by feeding them
at the same hour of the day for a few
days with sound grain as a preliminary.
When they are used to it, and off their
guard, throw down little poisoned
wheat-not too much at once, but just
enough for them to eat before they
have found out that there is any thing
wrong-for you can not catch them all
at the one attempt. BY this means a
large percentage is got rid of at ono
time. Then begin with the sound grain
again, and after two or three days use
moro poison. By this means of alter
mating non-poisoned grain with the
other article, sparrows may be killed
all through the winter months just as
fast az they come in from other places,
and IT. time be almost annihilated

Nature cures, but nature can be aided,

that it is the part of rational beings to seek

learned, as far as modern science lights the
way, how far they can aid nature and how
they can best avoid obstructing her.-Buf-
