ON THE RETREAT.

Silver Anniversary Encampment of the
G. A. Il. Thing of the Past.
DETROIT, Mich, Aug. S.-The last
day of the encampment, according to
the G. A. R. programme, was to be ex-
cursion day, but it was an exodus day.
The encampment was later in gather
ing and the attendance was curtailed.
Reports of progress on the Sheridan
and Logan monuments were read.
There are $4,000 private subscriptions
and a congressional appropriation
enough to make some $64, 900 for the
Logan. For the Sheridan monument
$50, 900 is on hand, and more coming. A
report on the erection of national
memorial hall in Decatur, Ills, was
adopted The quartermaster's report
showed the finances of the order to be
in excellent conditson. A large lot of
miscellaneous matter, resolutions, etc.,
were laid on the table, among them are
questions for a $4,000 appropriation
from the Grand Army for a monument
to DIR. Stephenson, the founder of the
organization. A glowing resolution
was adopted eulogiZing and emphasiz-
ing the generous treatment accorded the
G. A. r. by the City of Detroit. The
cxpita tax was reduced from cents to
2 cents from next January. The en-
campment then began the installation
of the newly elected officers. The Off
GERS were called to the stage, the
encampment arose, the ritual was
read and the obligation admin
istered With these simple GER
emonies the officers took their
places. Ccanmander-iu-C Chief Palmer
was presented the Gag by the retiring
commander-in chief, with the declara,
ton that there would be 100000 men
stand by him and the flag. Palmer then
assumed the gavel and closed the silver
encamplnent. In the afternoon the del
egates took boat for pleasure trip on
the river.

Thereupon President Oakley, of the
Lincoln board of trade. and a dozen
others tore off to the telegraph Office to
spread the glad tidings. Meanwhile the
apparently defeated delegates had been

found that the thirty six votes of New
York had gotten into the wrong column

THE English farmer grows turnips

the sheep eating the turnips without
the necessity of the farmer harvesting
the crop by hand. No labor is required
in feeding the turnips, and the sheep
improve the soil.
In some experiments in feeding the
prize steers it was clearly proven that
corn is not the cheapest food for pro-
ducing beef, but that the best results
were obtained only when a variety of
grain was allowed, with plenty of hay
and good pasturage.

FEEDING IN WINTER.
The Kind of Economy Which Makes stock.
k0tain1 Il success.


Raising u success.
There Is always an increase in the
cost OF feeding stock as soon as the
weather gets cooler. and especially in
feeding to fatten. With all animals q
certain quantity OF food is necessary to
sustain animal life and heat, and this
will be taken up first. II a growth or
gain is made it must be after this is
supplied, and much larger amount Of
food is necessary to sustain animal heat
in winter than when the weather is
mild
II only sufficient food is given to
maintain life there will be no gain, and
the food given will be in great
measure wasted 1t is with the gain
secured that the profit is realized from
the feed. II only life and heat are
maintained the food given is SO much
added to the cost without correspond
ing gain. But by adding sufficient
quantity more to maintain q good
growth there is at least an oppor-
tnnity for profit. With nearly all
classes Of stock good growth can be
maintained not only with cheaper ra-
ton but with less food than is required
when fattening.
One OF the principal objections to
winter fattening is the increased cost
made necessary in maintaining ami
considerable extent by providing
warm. dry shelter: yet even then the
conditions are such that it costs more
to fatten stock in winter than at any
other season.
When it can be done all stock intend.
ed for market should be rushed now
and be marketed before severe cold
weather sets in. Stock to be wintered
over should have warm, dry quarters,
SO as to decrease as much as possible
the quantity of food necessary to main.
tain animal heat. Shelter is cheaper
than food. and when the margin be-
tween the value of the feed and the
value of the stock when ready to mar
kct is small every item must be consid.
cred that will lessen the cost of feeding
or add to the value of the animal when
ready to market
With good shelter roughness can be
made the principal food, very little
grain being necessary to keep in good
condition. but without shelter consid.
cradle grain must be supplied if the
stock is kept thrifty, and the grain be.
ing much more expensive increases the
cost. Comfortable quarters. regular
feeding with good care and keeping
thrifty will lessen the cost of growth
AS well as of fattcning: and the less the
cost the greater the profit More or
less stock must be kept in many farms
to consume the roughness to good ad
vantage; but ut the same time care
must be taken to use all means to in.
crease the profit by lcssening the cost.

WINTER DAtRYlNG.
One of the Most Profitable Of Speci
Farm Industries.

One OF the Most Profitable Of special
Farm Industries.
The author of the Dairyman's manual
declares that he has learned. from
many years experience. that there are
several very great advantages in pursn-
ing special business in which few
persons are willing to engage. because
it may Ie some little way out of their
regular line of work. The most profit
is made from special industries aud
products. The reason is that those per-
sons who have the enterprise. energy
and skill to engage in any unusual in
dustry meet with less competition than
those who employ themselves in any
they have more difficulties to encoun-
ter and overcome, but this is the very
reason that they get better price for
their products and better pay for their
labor. The winter dairy is one of the
most profitable Of these special indus
tries. There are several reasons for
this. One is that few dairymen or
farmers are making butter in the win
ter, and consequently the supply of the
those persons who are able to manage
winter dairy are experienced and
skillful and consequently produce a
better quality Of butter than others.
Other reasons are tina. the manage
ment of dairy in the winter is really
easier and more certain than that OF a
summer larry, because it is not SO diff
cult to maintain the requisite tempera-
ture by the use of heat as by the use of
ice; there is no trouble from premature
souring Of the milk: tn. cows are in
better condition when they are prop
erly cared for; the food can be more
perfectly regulated, and the whole of
the dairyman's attention can be given
to his special business without the in
reference of the ordinary farm work
of the summer
There are some special requisites
needed for this business in. addition
to the usual capabilities of the
dairyman. A near market is needed,
snug and well-arranged stable and
yard. properly constructed dairy
house, the best furniture and appar-
atus, herd of cows kept specially for
this use and coming in fresh in the
right season, proper preparation for
feeding both as regards the crops and
the use Of them. and rigid and strict

Some Of the Causes to which They May

Two very prolific causes for streaky
Lutter are found in improper manage
ment. If the butter comes soft and is
collected into mass, as 1t is very liable
to be land not in granular form) il the
cream be churned at too high tenn
perature. the buttermilk becomes in
corporated through the lump. and it is
impossible to remove it by washing;
this will inevitably produce streaks
that no after working will remedy.
Gaseous and albumin0us substances in
butter can only be got rid of by thor
ough and judicious washing. The tine
to do this is when the granules are
about the size of grains of wheat or less.
When this condition arrives the but
termilk must be drained of and wash
ing OF the butter should be continued
until the water comes OF clear and un.
colored by the buttermilk. Twice is
generally sufficient. Again, streaky
butter frequently results from an irreg-
ular distribution of the salt and too
hurried packing after the salt is added.
