The Rising OF Cream.

The chemist of an English dairy COM
pany undertook an investigation to de-
termine the tendency of cream to rise
on milk during delivery. Experiments
proved that this tendency was overcome
by the constant agitation in transit,
provided the milk was not allowed to
stand long enough at any time during
delivery for the Dreaming to commence.
If this took place the shaking was not
sufficient to hinder the Dreaming. and
it continued in spite of the motion.
''In rounds which were out for six hours,
no rising of cream could be detected.
provided that no long intervals of time
were permitted in which the milk re.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

II you have never churned granu-
lated butter it is time to begin.
IT never increases the milk supply to
pitch milk stools at the cows
If the cows are homegrown" and
are not gentle it Is apt to be the boss
fault.
IF you mean to make a success of
dairying this winter, believe you can
and go ahead.
IT is not always the man who gets
rid of the most feed that has the best
and latest hogs Brains help make
pork.
BEWARE of the man who knows
everything about COWS and dairying;
he may know too much to ever learn
anything.
IT is not necessarily the sleek. fat
cow that is the best COW in the dairy;
many a rank, rawboned cow is the one
that turns out the butter.
PERHAPS one of the things needed
about your place this winter is an ice
house; if SO do not wait till the crop is
ripe and wasted before building the
house build it early.
LOOK out for the man that wants to
sell you the right" to get more butter
out of milk than the cow put in it.
Take the right to get out all there is in
it, but pay no royalty for doing it.
If you have good COWS it will pay to
feed them well-to feed them all they
will assimilate. If they lay on fat in
stead of putting the feed into milk it is
more than likely that beef rather than
butter is what they are calculated for.

THE DAIRY BUSINESS.
Why 1t Is the Most Profitable Branch of
Agriculture.

Why 1t Is the Most Profitable Branch of
Agriculture.
The strong prices which have ruled
for butter and cheese during the whole
summer. even in the face of the worst
financial crash the country has seen for
fifty years, are wonder to great
many. Every branch of agriculture
has it's ups and downs, but we nave
never seen a period of depression in
dairy products that carried the price
below profit in production but once in
thirty-six years. That occurred in the
early part of 1879, when cheese. for
some unaccoun tn BILE reason, went down
to and 6 cents, but took sudden
rise in the latter part of July to a good
paving price, which it has steadily
maintained ever since. Every kind of
grain raising, meat production, wool
growing, the raising of hops or tobac.
co seem to be affected with frequent
periods of depression, when the price
goes below the cost of production. This
is true at the present time of wool, to-
bacco and wheat. Indeed. both wheat
and wool have been in the dumps for
TWO or three years
The production of butter and cheese
presents a cheering contrast in this
particular. For years there has been
good, steady profit in the production
of a frst-class article Farmers who
are thinking of engaging in dairying
will do we'll to consider this view of
the matter. The dairy business is sure,
steadfast and at the same time reason
ably profitable. Where the creamery
plan prevails it's returns are freque n t.,
so that the farmer has ready cash once
a month. The increase of population
is greatly in excess of the increase Of
cows; this fact keeps up demand to a
paying figure year after year.-Hoard's

To Make Trees Symmetrical

Some of our contemporaries devote
attention to protecting trees in a lean
ing POSITION, attaching much advan-
tage to this position. Labor is required
in providing one or more stakes to each
single tree, in giving them q firm posi-
ton, and in preventing the chatting of
the bark by the wind. All this seems
to be necessary when trees with large
tops and small roots are planted. Near
ly all this is easily prevented by taking
mp wide-spreadiug roots and in cutting
of portions of the head. SO as to make
them light in weight and symmetrical
in form. Such trees will outgrow the

Hfeh-Rack Chairs,

A contemporary paragrapher speaks
in commentator of the current dispo-
sition to furnish dining-rooms with
high back chairs. Dining-room chairs
ought to be thoroughly comfortable,
but nothing is gained by making them
high enough to support the head, or
in running little steeples up along
each side of them in the vicinity OF the
sitter's ears The head is too busy in
the dining-room to need much support.
If the chair backs reach up to the
shoulder blades they are quite high
enough. II they go farther than that
they tempt diners to siumber at the
table, which is bad manners. Another
objection to the very high backed
chairs is that walters or mattresses OF
ordinary stature find them a serious
hinderance to the prompt distribution
of food. A short waitress can not take
a short cut over chair back four or
five feet high. She must steer her
| dishes around the corners of such
chairs and that is more of an incon-
venience and detriment to good watt
| ing than most diners realize. One day
| this summer at Il hotel where high
| backed, twin-spire chairs prevailed, a
| waiting damsel made {. pathetic COM
plant of the extreme WEAKNESS she
had in her arms because of the con-
slant lifting of dishes over the high
