THE DAIRY.
Good Thinking On Cream,

Col. F. D. Curtis, of New York, who
is one of the Butter Conference work
ers of that State, indulges in the follow
ing good thinking on the important
subject of handling cream:
So long as people think that sour
ness is the chief end of cream, mistakes
will occur in its care. This sourness
idea, unhedged by other considerations,
is the chief cause of SO much poor but
ter. In some way large amount of
butter is spoiled, and in my opinion it
is before it gets to the dignity of but
ter. The trained dairyman or woman
knows that strong fermentation begun
in the cream follows inthe butter, and q
skilled taste will class the butter as
sour and off in flavor. The germs of
putrefaction walk, as it were, in the
footsteps of fermentation, and when
cream is over-sour it is over-fermented,
and putrefaction is at the very thres-
hold, or has already begun its work.
One thing is sure-the sympathy of
twinhood is so close that oyer-sour
cream results in fr0wy or rancid butter.
The safer way is to avoid over -sourness,
and always churn cream when acidity is
fairly developed. When cream in which
acidity is already developed, is left over
all night, the butter will not be as
good as if it had been churned the
previous day, norwill there be as much.
A grear deal of butter is beginning to be
rancid while the butter is still in the
pans, and before it gets into the cream
pot or the churn. slippery looking
cream is already loaded with the begin
ing of decay. Puffed up and blistered
cream is already too much fermented,
and when whey comes on top and blue
mould appears, the rot is well ad-
vanced, and one painful of such cream
will spoil whole churnful-not right
away, perhaps, but when the butter is
tried after the ferment and beginnings
putrefaction will have developed to
the cost of from five to ten cents a
pound. There is chemistry in the milk
pan, the cream pot and the butter tub.
as we'll as the fulfllment of natures
laws, that all things are doomed to de-
cay. Cold only puts off these inevit-
able results, while heat is the natural
element which stimulates more active
work. We cannot afford to neglect the
milk nor the cream, nor to fool with
fermentation.

TEA leaves are good to scatter over car
pets before sweeping, not only to freshea
the colors, but also to prevent the dust

A SIMPLE means of chan ging the air

the top and opening the door, move it
backward and forward rapidly, so as to
insure current of fresh air from the
window.

cleaned by filing them with water in

of wood ashes have been placed, and
letting it boil up, then wash thoroughly

been fighting each other for six months,
with the fortunes of battle first in favor
of one and then the other. Their COM
mands were encamped on either side
of Lick Greek, large and sluggish
stream, too deep to ford and too shall
low for a ferryboat, but there bridge
spanned the stream for the convenience
Of the travelling public. Each of them
guarded this bridge, that communica-
tions should go neither north nor south,
as the railroad track had been broken
up months before. After fighting each
other several months, and contesting
the point as to which should hold the
bridge, they agreed to fight.a duel, the
conqueror to hold the bridge undis-
puted for the time being. Jones gave
the challenge and Fry accepted. The
terms were that they should fight with
navy pistols, ut twenty yards apart,
deliberately walking toward each other
and firing until the last chamber Of
their pistols was discharged, unless
one or the other fell before all the dis
charges were made. They chose their
seconds, and agreed npon Q rebel SUR
geon (as he was the only one in either
command) to attend them in case Of
danger.
Jones was certainly a fne-looking
fellow, with light hair and blue eyes.

Texas Indians.

The Texas Indians have always had o
thorough contempt for the bluecoats.
In 1875 the railroad boom began. The
builders ran through their lines with an
army Of men in advance to drive back
the savages. The railroads have done
more to subdue the Indians in Texas
than any other influence. Lo can't
stand steam. The State in 1874 began
to prepare for the immigration influx
which followed. Despairing Of pro
lection against the Indians from Uncle
Sam, the Legislature equipped the
Frontier Battalion Of State Rangers.
This handful of scouts attacked the
marauders wherever found, and did In
six years what the United States troops
had attempted for twenty years drove
out the Indians Recently one Of these
gallant scouts was asked: What do
you rangers do out heresn Eve pro
tect the frontier, answered the ranger.
aBut, expostulated the inquirer, aT
thought the United States troops were
sent out for frontier protection. h 80
they were, and the rangers came Out u

THE POULTRY YARD
Poultry Notes.


CHICKENS are as perverse as people,
and Just as o man will often drink vile
liquors when he can get pure sweet
water, so fowls will often abandon their
drinking vessels and slake their thirst
at some dirty puddle. With them as
with human beings, prohibition is the
only safeguard.
THE condition of the comb of a fowl
is the best indicator of its health. 1t
should be bright in color, and shaking
with every activity 81 the bird. These
signs are good guide as to health.
With this condition of comb you will
discover the utmost activity in your
fowls, starting at every sound or mo-
tion.
To sTRAIGHTEN the spike on comb
Of chicken, soften the comb with lard
and you will be surprised how easily
you can pull it to its proper position. 1t
may require more than one application,
but usually one is sufficient. Young
birds are referred to. We have not ex-
perimented with older, but it should at
least benefit in either case.
THERE is no doubt that hens will lay
fairly we'll without a male companion
and their eggs keep as long if not
longer by being unfertilized, but is it
not true that tine presence Of q male bird
in flock of hens and his amorous at
tentions at all times gives feeling
of security and contentment to the
flock, and acts in the nature of stim-
ulus.
DISCONTINUE throwing the food out
in large quantities and expense will be
diminished. It is better to feed less
and more frequently than to allow food
to go to waste by giving too much at q
time. Have o fixed time to feed and give
Just what they can eat up clean and no
more. This is point worth considera-
tion, for feeding chickens improperly
cannot result in benefit to tothemselves Or
profit to the owner.
BRAHMAs by careful breeding and mat
ing have nearly reached the position of
n-setters. To show the love that
breeders have for Brahmas, is the fact
that taking our poultry fraternity as lot
three-fourths breed the Brahma fowl.
AS farm fowl they fill the bill and are
always admired for their beauty by al
most all admirers of poultry. New
breeds spring up from time to time and
have their admirers but the Brahma
holds its place.
Fowls are frequently sick for long
time and escape the notice of all except
the close and accustomed observer who
cannot be deceived. for the general look
end carriage tell the tale. At feeding
time the fowls will generally all come
in huddle to eat, and all appear to eat
greedily. The time to seek out the all
ing bird is when the flock is inquietude.
When fowls are in this state observe
them closely. All the we'll ones will be
trimming and dressing their feathers.
The one that remains moping behind
and does not trim it's dress is aiIing and
many times beyond aid or recovery.

exposed, and the child is rendered liable
to colds, coughs and lung diseases on
the one hand, and bowel complaint on
the other. What little there is Of the

and embroidery, so that there is about
as much warmth in it as in wire sieve,
and the socks accompanying such o
dress are of cold white cotton, expos-
ing a cruel length Of blue and red leg.
I cannot see the beauty of g pair Of livid
blue legs, and would much rather be-
hold them comfortably clad in pair Of
stockings. If the beauty lie in the
shape of the leg. that shape viii be dis
played to as much advantage in q pain OF
stockings; if it lie in the coloring of the
flesh, beautiful colorine will not be OBJ
tanned by leaving the legs bare, and
from the artistic point of view, blue
or red stocking is infinitely preferable
to blue and red leg.-Scieace Monthlg.

Charleston harbor. The way in which
his capture was effected by the Con-
federates is interesting, and well worth
repeating; and I will give it in this
sketch with greater brevity than I
would like to use, if my space was not
limited. The facts as to Captain
Payne's capture we're very lately given
me by Major George H. Stowits, of
the same regiment, now successful
principal in the public schools of Buf-
alo, N. Y.
1t should be stated, for the benefit
of those who did not read the previous
article, that in the summer of 1868
Captain Payne had made himself the
indispensable "eye and ear" of the
Union army operating from seaward
against Charleston. Himself lands
man, having no more familiarity with
the water than the management of
boats on the Niagara River, he devel-
oped such an astonishing familiarity
with the Confederate defenses on the
islands in Charleston harbor, and even
on parts of the mainland, and was able
to report SO exactly the number of men
at any particular point of defense, and
what was being done there, that Gen
eral Gilmore and Admiral Dahlgren
learned to put implicit confidence in
his statements. The whole Union
picket-line was put in his charge, from
ten to fifteen miles in length. His
manner of observation was to go out
with two or three boats, containing
perhaps an hundred soldiers, well
armed; to move swiftly and quietly,
often penetrating far within the enc
my's lines, frequently being concealed
in inlets and creeks, always avoiding a
collision, since his first duty was to get
exact information, yet going strong
! enough to repel the attacks of any
force that he might reasonably expect
to be brought against him.
The fame of his exploits reached
General Beauregard, in command Of
the defenses at Charleston. The very
! movements of the Union forces about
the islands, unsuccessful as the in
fantry assaults had generally been, had
convinced that General that the Yam
KEGS had remarkable skill and shrewd-
ness at the head Of their scouting SER
vice. In addition to this, two very bold
@cutting-out" affairs were reported to
him, both manifestly the work Of the
same skillful and daring spirit. On

THE STOCKMAN.


To many persons figures are uninter-
esting, but to the careful and successful
feeder they ought to be full Of interest
and instruction when brought out by
careful tests and experiments in feeding
beef animals.
The recent Fat Stock Show was pro-
ductive of many interesting combina-
tions Of figures, says the Farm, Field,
and StockmGn. There is something to
be learned from those which it furnishes
of the weights of the various ages of
cattle, the same being cattle fed from
birth, with view to reaching standard
of perfection in the production of beef.
The study is interesting as showing
what can be done, not only with the
strictly pure breeds, but with the higher
grades, such as advanced farmers carry
upon their farms and feed for the regu-
lar markets.
The figures below are compiled from
the record of Ill animals exhibited. 1t
is done for the purpose Of showing the
average gain of calves, yearlings, two
year-olds and three-year- olds. The
classes taken are Grades and Crosses,
Herefords and Shorthorns; these breeds
furnished the greatest competition.
