DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

THE value of the dairy COW depends
upon the quality and the quantity of
her milk through the year,
IT will not be long now before the
nights will be too cold for the COW to
remain out doors. If she is left out in
cold nights she will shrink her milk,
and the flow cannot be restored. We
give this warning every year.
WE have been asked several times re-
Gently how to sterillze milk. It is heated
to 155 degrees for about 10 minutes,
then cooled rapidly to 80 degrees and
then the heating and cooling are re-
peated. The process has for its purpose
the destruction of the bacteria.
THOSE having dairies of considerable
size will learn after awhile that it will
pay them to construct cold storage
houses, and not sell their butter at
summer prices. The house, portions of
which can be made useful for other
things than butter, need not cost verv
much, and ice in the north costs moth
ing at all, except tho labor Of harvest
ing it-Farmers' Voice.

two corners of the triangle are kept
over the last row of stakes. There
should be person at each corner of
the triangle.
After the stakes are all set, bore an
inch hole in each end of q board, four
inches wide and six or eight feet long.
Cut notch in the center, place 1t
against the stake, drive stake through
each hole in the end of the board, and
remove the center one. The hole is
then dug, and when ready to set the
tree lay the board over the stakes
and place the tree in the notch. The
same plan can be used in laying of an
orchard by using square instead Of a
triangle. All the measurements must
be exact, or the triangle will not fit
when placed over the stakes. In this
way 1t is no trouble to keep the rows
straight, no matter what length they
may be. The stakes should be fifteen
to eighteen inches in length, and some-
what smaller than the inch holes in
the triangle. so that they will work
easily (The illustration, Fig, /, shows

form; Fig. 3, the triangle used in lay.

Two Sides Of the Picturc.

Somebody writing about the great
Improvement which recent years has
brought about in butter-maling says:
I'VE feel encouraged when we 60 to
fairs and dairy exhibitions and see the
excellent quality OF butter exhibited.
But we felt encouraged ten, fifteen and
twenty years ago at these exhibitions.
When we go to the country stores
where most Of the butter is marketed
we don't feel SO elated. There is just
about as much poor butter tumbled
into stores and bartered for goods as
there was ten or fifteen years ago
that is, in some parts Of the country

institute and progress do not reach all

with his arms, and before the hunters
could realize what had happened the
entire herd of deer had jumped toward
them and knocked them down and be-
gan running out OF the cave, tramping
on them as if they were so much dirt
1t all happened so quickly and the
shock was SO great they were stunned
| for a moment
When the tramping ceased the men
jumped up and found they were alone
In the cave. Both were considerably
bruised, but managed to get TO the en-
trance in time to see the herd vanishs
ing over hill few hundred yards
away. Whether the old man was with
them or not they couldn't tell. They
still had his revolvers, but he had dis
appeared. He must have gone with the
deer, as he was not in the back part Of
the cave They couldn't find him any
where around. and what became of him
they never knew.
The hunters felt that their expedi-
tion had not amounted to much, as they
had killed only one of the animals to
take back But when they went to get
it they found that it had been thrown
into fissure forty or fifty feet deep In
the hillside. The sides of this were
covered with cactus, SO that it would
have been almost impossible to have
got it even had they had ropes,
They came to the conclusion that the
old man must have thrown n down and
then concealed himself In some other
cave near by.
But they could find out nothing, and

console themselves that they had ct
