THE DAIRY.
Home Dairy Cheese.

The idea / wish to present to the
farmers is that all farmers should make
cheese enough for their family use dur
ing the entire year. The manufacture
of bone dairy cheese has been neg
lected for years, SO much SO that few
people have little or no idea how to
make it.
Factory cheese fills our markets, and
farmers have turned their attention to
the manufacture of butter, neglecting
to make what cheese they need for their
family use. Being of secondary inn
portance it has become secondary in
quality in many respects as matter to
follow. At the present time the ma
jority who buy cheese will choose fac
tory cheese; though it seems that people
who like cheese best are the ones who
prefer home manufactured. This is
owing to the education of the taste.
But will 1t pay the farmer to manu-
facture his cheese from four or five
COWS? say it will. You can make
enough from this number in two OF
three weeks for family the year, and
save buying at the grocery store.
We never think OF buying butter fol
the family use.
The time when we should make cheese
is in July or August, when it is mos
difficult to make butter. This will give
you warm weather enough to mature
your cheese before it gets cold. have

determined TO ignore tne SLOW anu I'M
certain diplomatic methods, and write
personal letter direct to Queen Vic
toria. This he did, addressing her in
very earnest terms, as a ruler, wife
and mother, and speaking of himself
as President, husband, and father,
both deeply interested in the welfare
of their people, and both able to un-
derstand and doubtless anxious to
avert the horrors of war, between ma
tions as closely allied as England and
America.
He then went on to speak briefly of
the cause of the North, and to express
regret that the taking of Mason and
Slidell from an English ship should
have put in peril the relations of the
two nations. He closed by assuring
the Queen that whatever disposition
of the case she might, in the light of
his letter, regard as just and honora-
BILE, he would see that it was promptly
accepted.
These were the substantial points of
the letter as they were given to Cen
eral Pleasanton by the members of
Parliament who held near relations to
the Queens intimate counselors.
According to the same authority,
Queen Victoria, upon receiving the
letter, which Mr.. Lincoln had sent
over by the hand of special friend,
submitted it to Prince Albert, who en-
tered fully into the spirit of it, and
advised the Queen to give it the fullest
and most friendly consideration. Prince
Albert further advised that Lord Pull
merston, whose secret hostility to the
North was we'll understood at the
court, should be sent for and informed
in the most decided terms that dis
patch of friendly terms must be sent
to Washington. While the release OF
Mason and Sidell and their two COM
panions was to be insisted upon, it was
to be done in such terms as would not
disturb peaceful relations. Prince AL
bert, who was we'll aware of Palmer.
ston's designs, suggested further that
he should be required to submit his
dispatch to the Queen for inspection.
This was done, and, as foreseen by the
Prince, there were several passages
which did not strictly conform to the
general directions he had received. Al
length a satisfactory draft was submit.

Management of Incoming Cows.

The profit from a COW depends very
much upon the management for some
time previous to the calving. The best
cows are always threatened by that usu-
ally fatal disease, milk-feyer, unless
care is exercised to avoid the danger.
The average COW which escapes this
disorder needs. equal care to secure the
greatest product of milk for the longest
time; and in business dairy where
the calf is to he reared, its value will
depend upon the manner in which the
COW is managed. Docility is consid-
erable element in the value of o COW, and
this isIto be lookedto as much as large
milk yield. So that there are three i'm
portant points to be considered-the
safety of the COW which, from her large
development of udder and her rich milk
yield, runs the most risk from the reac-
tion consequent upon the disturbance of
her system due to the calving; the
iudicious feeding of the COW whose sys-
tenn is to be stimulated rather than de-
pressed; and in all cases the training of
the calf for its future usefulness.
Heavy mixers should be kept on spare
diet for at least month previous to the
calving. No grain should be given.
Good hay is sufficient at this season.
Some cows hold on to their milking so
persistently that it is difficult to dry
them off; but it should be done at least
three weeks before the time expires. 1t
is great mistake to encourage the flow
of milk up to too late period, for the
purpose Of boasting of the character OF
the cow. The frequency of milk fever
with such COWS is natures protest
against this misuse of the animal and
the breach of natural laws. The flow
of milk should be reduced first by feed
ing only dry hay, and second by partial |
milking only, always leaving some milk
in the udder, and gradually lessing the
quantity taken. If the COW has ever
been attacked by milk fever, occasional
doses of pound of EPSON salts will
tend to avert infammatory action which
results in this disease. To stimulate
the average COW, which is rarely in
danger of this kind, the food should be
| judicieusly regulated in regard to hel
| condition. If she isthin, bran mashes,
or some cut roots with bran, may be
| given with safety, but in no case should
corn meal, and still less cotton seed ol
linseed oil-meal, be fed. Good. hay
with three or four pounds of bran
stepped in warm water will be sufficient
as daily ration. This food for amonth
previous to the calving will nourish the
COW and very much help the calf.

THE FARM


In selecting seed corn, be careful to
reject grains the outside she'll or pulp
sac of which is broken, for the germin-
ating power of such seed is impaired.
Reject also all ill-shapen kernels. Most
farmers reject the tip and butt kernels,
but it is pretty we'll demonstrated that
this is no improvement. If the ears
are quite fully developed and well filled
out. it is claimed with considerable
truth that to discard the butt and tip
grains has tendency to shorten the
ears. In high northern iatitudes, how
ever, where the dent varities are mostly
grown, the tip seeds are usually dis
carded because of an alleged tendency
to degenerate into the flint variety. Test
all seed corn thoroughly by sprouting
in damp cotton or in box of earth in
the house; at least 80 out of every 100
kernels should grow, and many farmers
are dissatisfied unless 50 to 98 per cent.
germinate.-AmericGn Agriculturist.

The nest Corn tor sIIage.

In selecting corn to plant for the silo
it is not wise in Northern latitudes to
decide wholly by weight and amount of
crop. Experience has abundantly
proved that the best variety of corn for
siluge is one which is capable of matur-
ing its grain in the latitude where
planted. Trials made at the Minnesota
Experiment Station showed that the
large Southern sweet corn, while it
yielded much greater weights of silage
than yellow flint, contained no more
nutritive value, as the former was cut in
an immature state to escape the frost,
while the latter bore ears which were
glazed when cut. The large corn yielded
many tons of useless weight to handle,
and required increased space for stor-
age, while the silage made from it was
inferior in quality to that of the WELL
matured yellow flint corn. This precau-
tion applies only to situations which
are liable to visitations of early frosts.
Corn should be cut for the silo just as
the kernels have become glazed; and no
variety should be planted which cannot
reach this condition before the first
killing rosts.-AmericGn Agricultur-

cured 1t in one season. If ! understood
him rightly, it was as follows:
He moved the hive with the affocted
colony fromtit stand, and placed on the
stand an empty box or old hive without
combs or stores. He let the bees 60

then removed them and put new hive
in place Of the box; he shook the bees

ing school when the war broke out, and
from the first manifested determine
ton to become soldier. Despite the
entreaties of his relatives he went to
the front and enlisted under Capt.
Hayden, in Company H, Thirty-seventh
Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteers,
Aug. 2, 1862, As he was only 13 years
months and 27 days old, and the re.
quired age for enlisting being 18, he
was obliged to conceal his age, task
which occasioned him much uneasiness;
but he succeeded and went with his
regiment to be mustered into active
service the 7th of September, 1862, at
Camp Briggs, Pittsfeld, Mass. There
his regiment was assigned to the Army
of the Potomac, Sixth Corps, and
placed in Franklin's left grand division
in front of Fredericksburg. Though
lad of only thirteen summers, young
Kaplinger showed great courage
throughout his entire service, and few
men in the war saw more rough cam
paigning than he, serving, as he did,
under Generals Mcclellan, Hooker,
Burnside, Meade, Grant, and Sheridan,
and participating in the battles OF
Fredericksburg, Charlottesville, Get
tysburg, theWilderness, Spottsylvania,
Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Winchester,
and Cedar Greek. He also served with
his regiment in front of Fort Stevens
at Washington and helped to stem
General Early's rebel raid on the cap
ital, and accompanied his regiment to
New York in 1868 to quell the famous
riot. Mr.. Kaplinger was mustered out
of service July 8, 1865, at Readville,
Mass, after serving in the army nearly
three years.
After the war he went to Boston,
where he learned the gunsmith's trade.
Twelve years later he removed to Troy,
N. Y, and subsequently to st. Joe,
Mo. He went to Sioux Falls two
years ago and engaged in business.
He is q member of Custer Post of st.
Joe, Mo-, and takes just pride in his
record as soldier.

Of cream, which has not the slightest
quantity of milk in it. To every quart
of this cream add the essential oil Of
one lemon as you have it in the sugar,

pulverized white sugar, and two newly
laid eggs. Mix we'll together in q por-5

has reached the boiling point, Do not

reached the boiling point take 1t off ini-
mediately and strain through hair

into the freezing can and freeze. When
the cream is frozen, and before You be-.
gin working it with the sratula, to every
quart of cream add the juice of one
lemon. Observe that while the zest Of
the rind Of the lemon is to be worked
into the mixture at the outset, the Juice
Of the pulp is not to be added till the
cream is frozen. It is essential that yo1
be very particular about this. The rea-s
son is that if you add the juice before

While the columns of the Graphic are
open to any and all unobjectionable ad-
vertisements, yet it is quite impossible
for us to speak knowingly OF the merits
of the various articles of merchandise
advertised. Particularly is this true of
patent medicines. But there are excep-
tions occasionally, and noteworthy
exception is the celebrated Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. This now uni
versally known medicine has been adver-
tised in the Graphic for four or five
years, but not until recently had we
any personal knowledge of it's wonderful
efficacy, which has come about through
the prevailing influenza and the stub
born cough that has so often attended
it. In the writer's family this medicine
has on several occasions this winter
cured cough that baffled any and all
other remedies; and the number of fam
lilies in Kimball and vicinity in which
this remedy has been used with like
effects, attests to it's value as specific
for coughs and colds of every nature.
