old Negro handed a couple of jugs to
his son, who was about ten years of
age, and said:
"Now, julius, yo' gwan down to de

When the boy had gone said to the

"But why send two jugs to get a

NOTES FOR DAlRYMEN.

NEVER keep cream in damp cellar.
If you do it will rot.
IF the butter is bitter, it is likely the
cows are eating weeds
If there is rag-weed in the pastures,
look out for bitter butter
Rory cream is the result of an i'm
perfect physical condition of the cows.
IT is claimed that skim milk for feed
ing calves is worth 20 cents per 100
pounds.
AS A rule it is better to sell butter as
fast as it is made. Make a good article
and let her go.
IF butter is kept in jars the Jars
should be glazed, as unglazed jars are
porous and admit air.
SWEET cream should be churned at a
lower temperature than sour cream
About so degrees is proper. Farmers

Concerning the First Cali.

When heifer is as good as three
years old, before her first calf is
dropped, and the sire is well-bred
and fully-matured animal, the calf is
not to be despised, but in the case of a
wo-year-old heifer the situation is al
together altered, and only under ex-
ceptionai circumstances should her first
calf be reared. Such an animal, as a
rule, lacks size and constitution, and
in nine cases out of every ten is sadly
deficient in flesh and hair Its desti-
nation should, therefore, be the sham
bles, and when it Is well fat.ened its
mother pays her way bet.ei than is
possible under any other system N

PREPARING For WINTER.
hood Is the Real Source of the Flavor q
Dairy Products.

Dairy Products.
The dairyman who wants good but
ter next winter should not miss tc
grow bountiful crop of carrots and
parsnips. says the New York Times
The excellence of the Jersey cows is
unquestionably due TO the parsnips
which are fed to them, and for which
the soil and climate of the Channel
islands IRE SO we'll adapted. These
roots are wholly free from any objec.
tionable quality, and confer sweet
ness and aromatic flavor on the butter
which are gained by no other food.
1t is as reasonable to believe that
the food is the source of the flavor OF
the butter as it is that of the flavor OF
the flesh of an animal. And this, not
withstanding the avowed belief of a
number of scientific persons--or per.
sons who claim to be scientific to the
contrary. 1t is alleged by these per.
sons thatit is the individuality of the
COW that gives the flavor to the butter.
Common people know better, and
no amount of scientific allegation
will make them believe that when
COW eats garlic in the pas.
ture or cabbages or turnips in the
stable, it is the individuality of the an
imal and not the strongly -favored food
that contributes the special taste and
color to the milk and butter And SC
it is the food to which the Jersey COW
has been used for hundreds of years
and by which the milk and butter
have been gradually increased until
the large product from the food and
the ability to consume large quantity
of the richest food have been fixed on
the race and have become an essential
characteristic of it. 1t is true that the
Jersey COW possesses an individuality
of her own, but this is consequence
and not an intrinsic natural ability; il
is not an active, but passive, charac
teristic, aud nothing more nor les;
than a result of long training and edu
cation, fixed by breeding. Any Other
COW has the same possibility If the
same means are taken to form it anc
perpetuate the distinct character Anc
every dairyman should SO manage bis
herd as to develop and fix this i'm
proved condition.

Salts of Copper Not Injurious.

The scare as to poisoned food which
crops up fitfully has of late taken for
its object the employment of salts OF
copper for the culture of potatoes aid
vines, and it has been insinuated that
grapes and tubers grown in this way
were by no means harmless. As gen.
orally happens, in such cases, as soon
as the subject has been thoroughly in
vestigated its absurdity becomes ap'
parent. NJ. Alme Givard has made d
series of chemical analyses, and finds
that there is not the slightest ground
for the superstition that salts of copper
could impart to the fruit or vegetable
any poisonous qualities. The trace Of
copper obtained from the ashes of the
incinerated grapes and potatoes is toe
smali t. be OF any import nse.

TOO MUCH PRUNING.
How Thousands of Fruit Trees Are Ru
ined Every Year.

How Thousands of Fruit Trees Are Ru-
ined Every Year.
The very best judgment must be
used in pruning trees. There is too
much pruning, and yet pruning is often
necessary. The injuries to fruit trees
and the losses to fruit growers from
vicious and altogether unnecessary
pruning cannot be estimated. The
popular idea that trees must be pruned
in order that they should exist, and es-
pecially if fruit bearing trees, SO that
they should bear fruit, is one Of the
most persistent of all prejudices. He
is looked upon as a careless fruit grow
err who neglects to visit his orchard at
least once during the year, armed with
knife and chisel, saw and ak, and to
strew the ground with twigs and
branches is deemed evidence of skillful
treatment by those who, like the OPP
orator, are ignorant of the laws which
govern vegetable growth. Some years
ago there was on the grounds of an ex-
detrimental station pear orchard
which was planted and maintained for
the especial purpose of illustrating the
best methods of management for the
production CT fruit. They were all
standard trees, and AT the time OF
planting were deprived of nearly all
the growths of the previous year; they
looked very much like walking canes.
After the summer growth was ma
tured some of the shoots were cut back
in order to establish proper DISPOSE
ton of branches. From that time they
were untouched by the pruning knife
They commenced to bear the fourth
year after planting and continued tt
yield heavy crops of fine fruit until il
became necessary to remove them
