THE DAIRY.
Stopping the Churn.

1t is very important to stop churnir G
at the right time. Churning after the
butter has come will injure the butter.
These round grains are solid butter;
there is no milk in them, the milk is
around these grains. At this stage the
milk is easily washed from the butter.
Never put your hands III the butter.
Draw the buttermilk off, put enough cold
water in the churn to float the butter,
revolve the churn few times, or agi-
tate it by shaking or rocking it gently;
draw off the water and repeat the wash
ing with pure cold water three times,
and the milk will all be washed out.
Put one-half ounce of dairy salt to the
pound, work the salt in only enough to
get the water out; the less butter is
worked the better. It is impossible to
work all the milk out of butter, but it is
no trouble to wash it out. Water and
butter will not mix; the water is easily
worked out. Unnecessary working
lnashes the grain and ruins the butter.
continuous working, mixing and smear
ing changes it from butter to grease,
causes it to lose its flavor, and ruins its
keeping qualities, and very soon it will
assume a cheeSy smell and taste, and
later on it will have very pronounced
and repellant odor.- Dairy World.

An Everlasting Fence,

The best and cheapest fence on my
farm l built seventeen years ago, and it
is still good. The posts are cedar, set
eight feet apart with the end Of the tim
Der which naturally stood up placed
down. This is the way to make the
fence: Let the posts go in the ground
thirty inches and project four and one
fourth to five feet above ground. A top
rail of two by four scantling is to be
mortised into the corners of the posts
and nailed fast. White oak pins are
turned uniformly one inch in diameter
and inserted in holes bored in every
other post. They must be previously
we'll seasoned and soaked in boiled oil.
The holes must be bored in the posts at
the exact point where the wire is to pass
it. To get the holes exactly right with
the least trouble, it is the best plan to
first bore a board for a pattern.
Now lay wire along the line of posts,
coil one end of it around a pin and
drive the pin in until it's head imbeds the
wire in the post. Then drive a staple
over the end of the wire. Now, with
one man to handle and drive the pins
and another to stretch the wire by means
of a crOWbar or Wire-Stretcher each time
a pin is driven, fifty rods of fence may be
hung in one day. | use five wires under
the scantlipg. Each time after pin is
driven the wire is slackened to allow it
to be twisted about another pin. These
pins are only placed on every second
post, the wires being stapled to the inter-
vening posts. The cost is as follows:
Two cedar posts at Is cents, 80 cents;
five plain wires, No. II. IS cents; five
oak pins, cents; scantling, Is cents;
labor, 81 cents. Total, 81. The wire
rarely or never breaks, as it's contraction
and expansion are taken care of by these
pins George w. Humphrey, Onondaga

BIG NEW YORK BLAZE.
The Old Commercial Advertiser Building
Burned-Loss $4OO,O0


Burned-Loss 100000
New YORK, Sept 15.-Fire broke out in
the old Commercial Advertiser building on
the southwest corner Of Fulton and \ aSsau
streets, at 9:15 this morning. In fifteen
minutes the flames had gained such
Roadway that they were beyond control.
The flames were seen first to burst
from the windows in the second floor
occupied by Gibbs tailoring estab-
llShment. There were many people
in the building, and some of them had to
slide down the fire escape for life through
the dense smoke. 1t is believed that all
escaped. Dense clouds of black smoke
rolled up from the fire, attracting crowds
of people who filled the side streets and
surged into Fulton Street, giving the police
all they could do to keep space clear for
the firemen. From the first it was seen
that nothing could save the building, and
the attention of the tiremen was directed
to saving adjoining property.
In the tailor shop of John Gibbs, where
the fire is understood to have started, the
out. On the second and third floors was
the printing office Of Douglas Taylor.
There were heavy presses on both floors,
and as the flames shot up through the air
shaft the Oil-soaked flooring under the
presses became ignited and blazed up like
so much finder.
At 1895 the outer walls of the entire Full
ton Street side fell with crash, and so
great was the conclusion that windows
were shattered in the Bennett build
ing, but no one was injured. The total
loss ON stock and building is estimated
at 500, 900, most of which is insured. This
includes $4,000 loss on the stock of Ira
Perego, the gents furnishing goods dealer.
So far as can be learned only two persons
were injured at the fire. They are Will
lam Nelson, a tailor, who injured his hand
Sam. Roxbury, an engineer, whose fore
arms were burned
A lot of loose diamonds which were on
the tables of the diamond workers in the
building were lost. They were valued at
several thousand dollars.

and the sand either blown or washed
away, and were it not tor few of the
remains of the large stumps no one
would suppose that the spot was ever
anything else than a naked ledge. On
other hills where there were no rocks
the sand is drifting like the snow, and
on some farms there are many acres of
this shifting sand that warranty deed
will not hold and that is being conveyed
without any legal process. On hills
where the soil is between these extremes,
the process of exhaustion is more gradual,
but just as sure. And now that the high
lands are exhausted and denuded some
farmers are prevented from clearing up
their low lands by the fact that they are
all they can depend on for woodlots.
But the time is coming when the deep,
black deposits of vegetable matter which
we call muck-bogs, as we'll the interme-
date strips between them and the dry
lands, will be cleared and improved, and
other conditions Of the farm will be made
to conform to the change. These border
lands between the high lands and the
SWampS are in many cases Of the least
value because they are harder to sub
due. The growth upon them is largely
spruce, fir, and cypress and the soil
is white or rusty sand, with few inches

agement of them, and the receipts--a
very important adjunct-the flock of
fowls will cause the boy to take an in
terest in farming from the start Let
him become accustomed to the breed and
he will soon learn the points of all
breeds. And he will not stop there. He
will aim to know the breeds of cattle,
sheep, horses, and hogs. He will look
forward to the exhibitions at the county
fairs, and strive to win prizes. He will
have love for the farm bred in him
from the start, and when he is man he
will yearn for the happy days spent on
the farm, and he will go back to it if he
can, should he be induced away. When
one becomes interested in poultry on the
farm he becomes educated to
an interest in everything else. AS soon
as your boy can manage them, give him
few Bantams, and after he is older
start him with some pure breed of
standard size. It is the best plan for
teaching the boy to remain on the farm.
