CREAMERY WORK.


Cleanliness ana Pure All Arc the TIVE
Prime Essentials.
At the Connecticut State Dairymen'A
association meeting, A. NJ. Bancroft,
superintendent of the Ellington cream
cry. said: Great advancement has been
made in butter masking. This is large
ly the outcome of concentration of
thought and cooperation in devising
the best ways and means of mannfac-
turing and management. Have we at
tanned perfection, and may we be salts
fed here? Assuredly not; our aim
should be still onward. The relation
of the patron to the general interest is
an important one; he cannot be too
watchful to provide neat and comfort
able quarters for his cows with arrange
ment for cleanliness and ventilation.
One patron who lacks neatness may
bring disaster upon the whole product.
Constant vigilance is necessary. If
every dairyman feels that upon him de-
effort which will insure the highest re-
suits. An increase in quality means
better prices, and quality is of more inn
portance than quantity. Of course we
all desire quantity. For the best pro-
duction we must have the best cows,
and to be sure of this there is but one
process: To test the herd and weed out
the poorest cows, buying or raising bet
ter ones to take their places. Ventila-
ton in the stable does not imply ex-
posture, but light, airy stables. with
windows which can be opened.
Pure air is essential to the health and
improvement of the animals. Creamers
demand careful and constant scrutiny.
Water in the tanks soon becomes foul
Nor should it be changed merely, but
the watts should be scalded and scrubbed
at frequent intervals to insure sweet,
nutty favored cream. With such cream
butter-maker who understands mat
tiers will turn out the best product and
assure good returns. The most hope.
full sign of progress among dairymen is
our growing intelligence. Farmers are
comparing notes in regard to care and
feed ofs5 ock and calling upon the ex'
pertinent stations and agricultural
schools as never before. To expect am
pie remuneration for our time and Ia
bor we must have as full knowledge OF
our business as the merchant or me.

room for eight cows SO they can be

but it would be much better to have a
hay chute to each stall. This dispenses
with litter on the floor. The gangway
being IL feet will allow two wagons to
pass. The SKIP stalls are boxes fo'
colts and brood mares.
The NOW will hold about 25 or 80 tons
of hay, and the corn crib, 1sx1O feet,
makes good grain-room, with 25x1e
feet to make bins for small grain.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS.
PRETTY HOME GROUNDS.

How to Add Perpetual Pleasure to Life In
Rural Districts.
There are several reasons why the
farmers residence should be somewhat
embellished with the planting of orna-
mentals. A small amount of we'll
selected trees and shrubs may be en-
ployed to give a distinct character to
the place. 1t has cheapness especially
to recommend it, for if hardy species
are chosen and properly distributed,
they will need out little care and cult

They vii, impart an attraction to the
home which win be of great value to
young family. A very small sum would
be needed, compared with that for
costly architecture, and if generally
adopted by all, would impart a pleas
ing appearance to the whole country.
We name some of the more common
ornamentals, which may be easily OBJ
tanned, and which from their hardy
character would retain their places for
a whole life time. A few large-grow-
ing trees scattered on the grounds,
after once started in growth, would
take care of themselves; and although

abandoned Farms"
VERONA MILLS, 1898

VERONA MILLS, 1SV6
10 the Editor:
You spoke of the abandoned farms OF
the eastern states. You say you have
been told that the owners could not
make living off them, in some cases,
and In most cases the owners could not
pay the mortgages on them, and SO they
were abandoned. Now, this is not
quite correct
1 believe the great trouble lies in the
manaCement of farm. and in not
keeping down expenses When we
farmers become educated in keeping
down expenses, as were our ancestors,
we shall have properly solved this great
question.
Another thought occurs to me, 1T is
this: If a man, who occupies or tills a
farm. should devote the same thought
full care to his business, as 3 merchant
does to his business, the result would
sometimes be different do not think
n farmer puts in more time at his work
than does a good business man. A busl-
ness man with small capital invested,

An Irrefutable Argument.

Farmers are constantly in need of
the use Of highways to transport their
property and to move themselves from
place to place. The average farmer is
FIVE miles distant from the nearest rail-
way station and his surplus produce
must be moved that distance year after
year. If he were to compute the saving
that he and his neighbors would have
by reason of first class roadways they
would discover that it would amount to
more than the expense of putting the
roads in good condition and keeping
them sou. 8. Senator William A.

sheen I'm the Orchard.

If properly managed, the orchard
may be pastured profitably by sheep,
saws Prof. j. L. Budd. The only essen
tial is not to pasture too closely and to
have matters SO arranged as to turn IN
the sheep from the yards in the morn
ing and take them out when they get
restless and rambling, as this Is the
time when they reach up for the limbs
and aant for branch where the bark
IS tender. Experience has proved that
the orchard insects do not thrive where
the sheep run. With the sheep in the
orchard our apples had less worms, and
the leaf-eating insects, thrips, ETC.,
were not as common and destructive as

Good Points in a Cow.

The first point to consider is that the
COW is strong. with a deep flank, indi-
eating constitutional vigor; and the
next is to see that her udder is right in
form, her teats large and set wide
apart. If a COW is to be good mixer
she must have somewhere to keep it,
which does not, however, mean a thick,
feshy udder. Secondary and fancy
points are slim neck and long head,
with fine horns and good features.-A.

joint committee on taxation in the sem
ate chamber during March and April,
clearly showed that all that was needed
to bring the farmers of this state to a
realization of the back-handed manner
in which taxes on personal property
reacted ON them, was a more intimate
acquaintance with the facts which the
advocates of the abolition of personal
property taxation have collected.

THE HISTORIC HARTFORD.

FarraEuts Old Flagship to he Remodeled
 and Refitted and Once More Placed in
 Commission.
 NEW YORK, June 13.-The Times says: Navy department officials announce that the historic old warship Hartford IS to be placed in commission again next year. The Hartford was the flagship of Admiral Farragut at the battle of Mobile bay. She was also engaged in the passage of Forts Jackson and St. Philip below New Orleans.
 Under recent act of congress, the Hartford and Kearsarge are to be re- tained on the active list, regardless of the 20 per cent. repair law, which di- rects that no vessel of the navy shall be repaired when the cost of such repairs shall exceed 20 per cent. of the original cost of the ship. It is proposed to strip the Hartford of her present old type bat tery and substitute in lieu battery of modern high-power guns. Her new battery will embrace 6-inc h and finch guns che latter of the rapid fire type The ships heavy sail rig will also be reduced and rig similar to that carried by the cruiser Chicago will be substituted. This will reduce the Hartford to bark rig, with no yards above the top gallant yards.
 The estimates for the repairs and new fittings of the Hartford are now being prepared at the navy depart ment, and congress will be asked, the coming session, to authorize the ex- penditure of the necessary sum of money.

 NEW YORK, June 13.-A special to the Herald from Northfield, Minn, says: k. B. Ford, newspaper correspondent, living at Dundas, miles south of this city, narrowly escaped lynching Sun day night. He is the correspondent for several newspapers in which he criticised the Mills revival meeting, going on at this place. He has made host of enemies in Dundas by publishing scandalous state ments about minister, on account of which the congregation openly threat ened him.
 Ford received letter on Wednesday warning him to leave the country be- fore the end of the week if he wished to escape trouble He laughed at the threat, however. and last night ten men, clothed in white gowns and masks. went to his home and pulled him out of bed They had him already hanging to a tree, when his brother, with rifle, shot at the crowd. The white caps dispersed, one at least being wounded Ford had tainted, but soon recovered. He claims to know some of the men who attempted to lynch him, and will swear out warrants for them.

 Dress Burning Incident Explained-ihe
 Hatchet Stories.
 FALL RIVER, Mass, June 1l.-All day long talk has been plentiful on the subject of the Borden murders. ana there can be no denial that 1t IS gen eral opinion about town that the prose eution thus far has a very weak case. This opinion is being strengthened by rumors current here to the effect that Lizzie Bordens counsel will shortly ex- plode bomb-shell in the camp of the authorities. It is hinted that the de- feuse will show conclusively that Liz zie Borden purchased some paint few days before the murder and that it was not an uncommon thing to burn dresses in the Borden household. Then the fact that the girl burned the dress in the daylight. while officers sur rounded the house, will also be cited to show there was not the slightest concealment. The defendants law yers do not attempt to disguise their joyful feelings because of the present status of the case, and the girls friends here are iubilant. The hatchet incl dent, with it's accompanying denials, is also a source of much comfort.
 But while the prisoners friends are buoyant the spirits of the police au- thorities are by no means downcast. Officer Maulley's strange. unexpected statement about finding the handle, is, they say in keeping with the general tone of the testimony given by him be- fore in court. He has been known several times to take position in less important cases, in defiance of the fact that five or six other officers and witnesses testified positively that he was wrong. One of the police au- thorities thinks so little of the circum- stance that he says he will not advise the district attorney to contradict Maulley's alleged erroneous state ment.
 The matter of wrapping up the hatchet, testified in two ways by Med- ley and Desmond, can be easily ex- plained They say both men did wrap up the hatchet, Desmond wrapping it up first and passing it to Medley, who afterwards opened it in the cellar to show another officer It is a frequently expressed opinion here that the de- fense has built a mine under Medley's testimony and will set it off before the case is finally submitted.
