Kansas is satisfied with Melbourne's
rainmaldng. Numerous counties have
declared their intention Of taxing them
selves under the irrigation law to hire
Melbourne to make 1t rain at ten cents
an acre, which viii be agood thing both
for Melbourne and for Kansas. But
now up step the irrigating gentlemen
and say this proceeding is against the
law and shall not go on. Droughty Kan
sas shall stay droughty forever first. It
would ruin all their works for water to
come down from the sky instead Of go
ing up through the earth.
As between the irrigants and the show
erers, however, the lawyers decided that
the showerers may go on and tax them
selves to produce the waters that come
from the heavens. Meantime, like the
boy in the story, Melbourne saws wood
and says nothing. This story teaches us
lesson In human nature.

dairy and creamery Note..

We call attention particularly to the
hint given by an experienced butter.
maker in regard to Returning in fresh
buttermilk butter that from any cause
has become stale and strong. Churn
vigorously a few minutes, till the butter
Is all broken into bits and granules. The
fragrant. fresh favored buttermllk will
take away the staleness like charm.
Then resalt slightly and work as you
would fresh butter
The hairsplitting philosophers are
again discussing white specks in butter
and their cause. In brief. they are
caused by cream being either too warm
or too old when it is churned, and they
may be avoided by avoiding the cause.
Butter that is streaked has not had
the salt properly worked in. Work salt
In evenly and You win have no streaks
Better than the fountain of perpetual
youth Is perpetual well of cold water tc
the dairyman or creameryman. Ground
that has this advantage is worth double
as much for their purposes as land not
thus favored
There should be everywhere fixed by
law standard of per cent. of fat in
milk that is sold by dairymen. Field
and Farm declares this is as fair to all
as that thirty-six inches should make .
yard.
As soon as the pressing fan work is
Laid by. prepare your icehouse for the
winter crop
One creameryman finds there is no
strainer for milk equal to white mosquito
netting. He strains creams, through it
previous to chhrning, and finds it holds
back all the white specks or eheesy mat
ter and all other things that ought not
70 get in. while it lets the cream through
readily.
Buttermaking is'passing from private
hands to the creamery. Just as weaving
passed from the hand loom to the factory.
Why do some writers still preserve the
Anticipated English form .srnilch COW"

they want to be English. In any case.

Fruit Excursions.

II is a Boston idea to form excursions
20 visit the fruit growing regions Of Cali
fornia during the month Of February.
Any place short of paradise itself could
not be more delightful than, California
at that season Of the year, and the shrewd
eastern capitalists get both profit and
pleasure from these tours. Many OF
them have money il. "a in the won
derful fruit valleys q the state which
gave to the public both Sunol and Dem
uis Kearney.
The Boston idea is worthy Of imita-
ton. 1t is to be noted that every part
Of this great republic has some crown
ing excellence or resource which, prop
erly developed. will make it an object Of
interest to visitors from abroad and at
home. California will become the great
est fruit garden in the world, and. be-
sides California, Florida will also be in
the future one vast and glorious fruit
garden. There are also localities pecul-
iarly adapted to dairying and the max
ing Of the delicious and profitable cheeses
which we are beginning to find can be
made better in the United States than in
Europe. Every part Of this great coun-
try has its own special attraction, but
the fruit growers of California have had
the shrewdness to develop their region
beyond most others. Some 300 car

are growing and there are altogether
100000 orange trees with 1000, 900 in
bearing. Besides this, California has
already 5000, 900 lemon trees.
