HINTS FOR

To make the most out of dairying,
not only must the quality of the
product be good but it must be put
upon the marketin the most attractive
form, and it must be done carefully
and regularly If the trade built up is
to be held.
MANY beginners fail to understand
the Importance Of clean feed FOR the
COWS. The cows yield milk of a favor
and richness according to their feed,
and when the best milk is expected
the feed must be supplied from which
1t can be made.
ONE advantage Of dairying In con.
nection with other farm work is that
it aids in securing regularity. To
make the best success, the feeding.
milking and other work should be done
regularly; and this tends greatly to
the promotion of a regular system in
all that needs to be done.
WHETHER it is best to feed the COW
while she is on good pasturage must
depend on what feed is worth and what
butter or milk is worth. Where bran

cured at low price, while the milk and
butter can be marketed at good price,
1t is often advisable to do so.
One of the most important items in
making winter dairying profitable is
In making the COWS comfortable. The
stables should be reasonably warm and
dry, and these should be provided in
good season. The average farmer
cannot afford to maintain animal heat
by feeding grain, and with the dairy
COWS this is especially true.
WHILE the particular form of the
package in which the butter is sent to
market must conform largely to the
demands of the market, there is one
fact that in all cases must be the rule.
and that is the packages must be neat
ana attractive; and arranged or made
SO, the butter will be in good condition
when placed in market.-N. Y. indie

cHoicE FARM BUTTER.
Unless Everything Is Kept Clean 1t Cam
not Be Secured.

Unless Everything Is Kept Clean 1t Cam
not Be Secured.
Good butter must not only look we'll
and be firm, but it must taste we'll. 10
secure this good taste is n OF the
most difficult tasks of butter making.
Milk in all its forms is n of the most
susceptible substances to taints and
odors. 1t Is sweet and wholesome as
it comes from the healthy cow, n to
make good butter it must be kept so.
The cow stables should be clean and
we'll aired, so as to be free from odors
of mold and decaying manure The
cows coat and udder should be cleaned
before milking, and the mixers hands
and clothing should be in a civilized
condition. The tin milk bucket should
have been secured, scalded, and,t pos
sible, summed, before it's daily ~ The
teats should be MIXED with dry hands,
and all possible dust should be kept
out of the milk. Some dairymen cover
the pail with a Unbranded wire gauze
sieve which catches the foam and dust
particles as the milk stream Is conduct
ed through it. Hurry the milk from
the stable to the house or cellar and
Immediately set it for Dreaming in the
c~leanest Of pans, which should be
treated as carefully as the milk buck
cts. Cool the milk as soon as possible
by aeriating, setting in a stream of
cold water, or even by cool air in a
we'll ventilated place. AS soon as the
animal heat is removed the vessels
may be covered with clean tin covers;
wood absorbs taints SO readily that 1t
should be used as little as possible in
butter-making. The wooden churns,
bowls and ladies which must be used
must be most thoroughly soaked with
boiling water, and then disinfected
with plenty of sunshine and pure air.
A little washing or baking soda in the
boiling water will help to keep things
sweet in cloudy weather. The a
hat is to hold the eam will need the
most attention, as it Is desirable to
keep the batch sweet as long as pos
sible in order to have large uniform
Cummings. If the butter cannot be used
or sold within two weeks after it is
made, it should be well packed, keep
ing the color in each tub as uniform as
possible. ohio Farmer.

scraggly old apple-tree with uncom-
monty pink blossoms. The lane turns
off right by that apple-tree.
Still, I doubt If you would notice it
unless some n pointed it out to you.
There is no road there now. Once
there was a fine, well-traveled road,
down which horses clattered and
wagons and hayricks rolled. But the
horses fest are stilled, and the wagons
and hayricks have gone other ways for
years. In place of the road there is
now only a little foot-path, worn by
the feet of one young girl.
At the end of the laneAs one of the
smallest cottages you ever saw. Honey
suckles grow over the front door, and
syringa and lilac bushes overshadow
the caves. There are a few scattering
portulacas down in the grass by the
doorstep, but these are all that are
LEFT of the garden that lourished when
the cottage was new.
But down behind the cottage
stretches q garden of the Lord:
meadows cool and green, a wheatield
waving with plant grass, a bit of pine
land, stately and shadowy, and, wind
ing through the ~intervale,' a silver
river.
Now Silvie loved to sit on the back
piazza of the cottage, looking out
across the intervale to the hills be-
yond; but her Aunt Lois chair sat al
ways by the window that looked up
the lane to the road. Aunt Lois wanted
to see ''the passing"
Beside Aunt Lois and Silvse, there
were only Julietta and Uncle Cyrus in
the family. Julietta was the mild
eyed, slow-going old cow, who was
esteemed by all a very important mem
Der Of the household. Uncle Cyrus
was Aunt Lois husband. He was as
mild Of eye and as slow OF move
ment as Julietta, and perhaps it would
be kind not to define his exact position
In the scale of family Importance.
It was Aunt Lois who managed, and
6ilvie who did thingsin the little place.
Aunt Lois day of doing had been
yer for years. Every morning, with
the help of her husbands arm and q
cane, she got from the bed to her chair
by the window. There she sat and
planned and observed till the day was
over, and the zane and the arm helped
her back to bed sgain.
But Silvie, strong, young Silvie,

night; made sweet, golden butter.
tended the vegetable garden, swept
the cottage, and sometimes, In the
evening, walked into town to choir re-
hearsals; and she was content and
happy, loving nature and her work.
To this little abode OF peace and pow
erty came n day an emissary of evil.
She was . very Misunderstanding ennis

deemed necessary; and one morning,
when the buds were getting thick on
the scraggy apple tree, she took a Ittlo
old-fashioned bag in her hand and
walked tearfully up the lane to the
road.
But Aunt Lois shed no tear. She
even chided openly her husband For
pulling out his handkerchief and blow
ing a blast rs of a trumpet.
1--WE ketched cold;" he answered, but
q minute or two later he asserted him
self with an effort. Cant a man blow
his nose If he's ketched cold?" he de!
manded.
"Just wait till Silvie comes home a
great singer" encouraged Aunt Lois.
II guess the folks here'Il talk some!"
Oh, but life was lonely in the little
cottage with Silvie gone! Hour after
hour Aunt Lois sat by the window with
no n to speak to, and day after day
Julietta lowed ~mournfully at Uncle
| Cyrus in the barn. Neighbors dropped
in whenever they could and brought
the news of the village, but there was
no one to tell the little happenings of
every day, as Silvie did.
Moreover, the weekly presence OF Abb
bic Spencer grew almost intolerable,
though her absence was worse, as
Aunt Lois found .one week when she
did not come. Uncle Cyrus thought he
| did the best he could, but for all that
dust collected on the furniture, spiders
swung from the ceiling and flies set
tied on everything outside the range of
| Aunt Lois active arm.
Yet Aunt Lois, accustomed all her
life to cleanliness and care and spotless
housekeeping, rigidly turned her face
away from it all, uttered no complaint
and sat day after day at her window,
picturing in her mind the day when
Silvie should come riding sdown the
lane, her laurels ~ and al the viii
lage ringing with Ter triumph
Meantime came letters from Silvie.
She had gone directly to Mrs. Mon
teith, who had thought it best for her
to take a few lessons from a good in
structor before trying her voice at the
conservatory. So Silvie was boarding
alone at the very cheapest boarding
place that was respectable, and practic-
ing for hours every day on divers UNI
interesting exercises.
Her letters were not very long, were
dutiful in tone and quite regular as to
their arrival. She told about her ex-
e~rcises, reported amazing things as to
what Mrs. Monteith told her of the ex-
pense of living in the city, inquired for
Uncle Cyrus and Julietta and asked

how the wild flowers were blooming in
the lane. Aunt Lois wrote her back
each week, and told her who had passed
and what they wore, and asked her
about the other boarders at the house
and what they said to her about he,
voice.
It vas in answer to these repeated
inquiries that Silvie wrote at last that
she didn't think her Aunt Lois exactly
understood life in a city boarding
house. There wasn't a single person
In the house who knew what she was
doing nor cared whether she lived OF
died.
She described her room and told how
it opened out into what city people
called a ''well"-a small air space, per.
haps twelve feet square, between the
blocks. The windows Of the other
houses opened into this same well, and
| Silyie said the air was not like that
which came down ross the intervale
from the hills. She added that all
sorts of sounds could be heard there,
| too, and that some of them were very
unpleasant.
Aunt Lois read this letter several
times. She did not quite understand
1t. Her idea of a clearinghouse was
that of a place where all the people
were greatly interested in one another.
And she could not imagine Silvie with
nothing but a well" to look into.
The buds on the scraggly apple-tree
pinked out abundantly, fared open to
clear white and fell. The cranesbill
came and went. The sweetbrier had
only a few lingering petals when one
day Aunt Lois, sitting lonely at her
window, started forward with q cry.
For oh and oh, there was some one
coming adown the lane! Some one
with shining eyes and fastening feet
Silvie, surely, and no one elsel And
Eilvie was waving her hand and calling
ra~pturously: "Oh, / didn't get into the
conservatory, Aunt Lois, I didn't even
get in! And ! never was so glad of any
thing in my life!"
"You didn't half try!'' cried her aunt,
tornr1, between relief ana wounded
pride.
81 did, Aunt Lois! / tried my best,
but there's lots of girls got better voices
than / have, and they didn't have room
for all"
AuntLois struggled with her pride.
81 do know what Abbie S~pencerIl
say"
II don't care what she says. I'm glad
and thankful to get back here and sing
In tho church choir agsin."
We'll, do get ont and shut the
kitchen screen. / do believe it hasn't
been shut sence you went Of"
So Silvie took up her home lite
again. The welcome from Uncle Cyrus
was unmixed with an atom Of a11o,
Silvie felt that had she been q great
singer, coming home with lame and
fortune, she could not have felt the
pleasure that came to her when her
uncle showed her how necessary her
presence was for the happiness of the
little household.
So Silvie still sits out on the back
piazza; sits and sings and works and
looks ont across the intervale to the
hills beyond.-Youth's Companion.
