WARSAW, April, 81.
We are glad to learn that the War
saw High School is in prosperous
condition. Every one speaks in the
highest terms of Prof. Merritt, the
clever and talented young principal.
The new Methodist and Presbyterian
churches are nearing completion.
The designs of both are new, modern
and tasty, and when finished will
be ornaments to the little town.
The Strawberry farms are doing
well, considering the damaging halls
and the recent severe frOsts. By the
way The place has the honor of dis
covering and prOpagating new
variety of berries, which is con-
sidered by competent judges to be
superior to any yet known for the
southern truckers. 1t is christened
the MURRAY Seeding" being dis
covered by Mrs. S. f. Murray. 1t is
supposed to be a cross between the
Newman and the Crescent, and is
from to weeks earlier than any
berry yet known to the place. 1t is
earlier and firmer than the Newman
and is more vigorous and pr olifit
that the Crescent, thus combining in
a much higher degree, the good
points of both. Being a Seeding, il
is not self-fertilizer and Mrs.
Murray is experimenting to fine
which perfect plant used asa fertilizer
for it will give the best result. The
good lady has bonanza in this
plant, she has been offered $500 fol-
a single plant, but refuses to take it
We eat several of the berries, thu
flavor is delicious and the color il
rich red all through.

The Ring of True Metal.

Mr.. NJ. BUTLER: Yo1r valuable
paper has always had the ring of the
true metal. The Caucasian, race or
or least those who have tone and
character unimpeachable andno FOL
itics but pure Democracy. This you
have kept to the letter. You have
proven in every issue that you are
the farmers friend, the friend of
him whe is beset on every hand by
by base impositions, and one whose
rights have been shamefully neg
lected by the Government, and there
fore has been forced to try to pro-
tect himself. The Alliance offers
protection as ia as it is able under
partizan Republican rule, aud it re-
mains for all to be true to the order
and vote for none but an educated,
honest member, to get their rights.
Go on in your good work, and may
Gods blessings attend you.

WINTER DAIRYING.

Editor of the american CuLivator =
There is a growing demand for fresh win
ter-made butter. Our systems demand
richer food in cold weather than in warm,
in order to maintain the normal tempera-
ture Of the body, and many persons a"e
able to assimilate heat, or f~st-produclng
food in the form OF butter who ann
take it in any other. What the city con-
sumner wants to know is that he is getting
pure, honest, bona fde butter, and when
a certain dairy farm supplies him during
winter with a nice, fresh article, he is
pretty sure to order it sent on through
summer. A city man likes regularity he
not only wants his butter to come punct-
ually every week, but he even wants it
the same day Of the week, and he likes to
see it precisely the same color, and
have ii seasoned exactly the same way.
There is no other article of everyday
consumption that's capable of taking as
many different favors as butter, and when
one has learned to like a certain flavor he
is 10th to accept any other. When the
dairyman cultivates punctual habits, n
learns to make his butter of a uniform
quality day in and day out, then he will
be able to keep the same customers year
after year, and his business will stand
upon a solid basis.
Taking all things into consideration,
butter can be made as pro6tably, and with
as little trouble, IN winter as IN summer,
the price realized in cold weather being
greater, and when convenient and com
Portable houses are provided for man and
beast the work is not necessarily more un-
pleasant even in the most severe weather.
In fact, those experieL ced in the business
declare that they would rather make but
ter in winter than in summer; that 1T is
easier to ripen the cream properly and to
make the butter of good uniform quality.
As a rule the same COWS will give
richer milk in winter than in summer,
provided always that they are furnished
with the foods requisite to make the but
ter form. Winter-raised calves also make
finer Il ilk COWS, as they take more readily
to all kinds of food. This places the food
consumed more under the control of the
| feeder, and by feeling their dependence
upon him the calves acquire a dOclllty
| that lasts them all their lives. And after
having passed the first six months of their
lives under the careful guardianship of
the herdsman, the fall calves meet the
spring grass at an age when they are able
to eat it as an all food, and thus they
have a twelve months growth without
that break which spring calves have when
weaned from milk in the fall and put
upon dry food.
The spring calf has plenty of grass in
the pasture when it is too young to use
it, and is obliged to subsist on dry food
in wiz ter, when it first bee omes of an age
to gather its W living in tae pasture.
Another benefit derived from winter
dai-ying is that it keeps the herdsman in
aim Jst constant contact with his stock,
and when his COWS are yielding a daily in
come they are sure to be well provided
for, and will come through a hard winter
in good condition for spring grass.
