HINTS FOR DAiRYMEN.

To make the most out Of dairying,
not only must the quality of the
product be good but it must be put
upon the market in the most attractive
form, and it must be done carefully
and regularly if the trade bull. up Is
to be held.
MANY beginners fail to understand
the Importance of clean feed Tor the
cows. The cows yield milk of q 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
m AXE 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
or oil meal or corn meal can be Sc.
cured at low price, while the milk and
butter can be marketed at "a good price,
1t is often advisab bic 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. Inde-
pendent.

Willie Tries Experiment That IL Not
Very Successful
One day Willie came running to his
mother with little round black thing
in his hand. He wanted to know what
1t was.
1T is q seed,' said his mother. "If
you should plant it in the ground, be-
fore long it would begin to grow, and
soon you would have some lovely flow
ers."
IF you plant things will they growp'
asked Willie.
EYES," said his mother. She was very
busy just then, and did not pay much
attention to what he was saying.
The next day his mother missed her
watch. She looked for it everywhere.
At last she asked Willie If he had seen
it.
80, yes, mamma" he answered, at Is
all safe. / planted it In the garden
and soon we will have a lot of little
watches"
Come at once and show me where
you planted It," said his mother.
After some time they found it. 1,
was covered with damp earth, and very
nearly spoiled.
For taking the watch without per
mission Willie spent half an hour in the
closet He does not think raising
watches is useful occupation.-Chris

the animal had been occasionally seen
by the Indians in the mountains In
various parts of the county, but they
rarely spoke of it to the whites, fearing
the latter would start in pursuit. A
few white men saw it, but none were
very DESTROYS of taking It's life because
of its beauty. 1t weighed about sixty
five pounds, and It's hair and hide were
of pure white. Near the horns the
hair was tinged with gray.
Many years ago white deer was
seen in Mendocino county, but 1t was
Of dingy or yellowish white, but the
Nevada county buck was as white as
snow.
1t required nine large Winchester
bullets to kill it. The hunter ran
across the animal on mountain side
and opened fire. Although wounded
by the first bullet, the deer bounded
into small clump of brush, the only
shelter within mile. From his posi-
ton on the hillside the hunter poured
shot afser shot into the thickct when.
ever he could catch glimpse of the
white hide. The wounded creature
was afraid to leave the bushes and
make run for shelter deeper in the
mountains, and it was literally burnt
to death with hot lead. The last shot
entered the heart, and when the hunt
er secured his prey he found that nine
bullets had struck the little creature
Its vitality was remarkable.
The Indians in Nevada county and
across the liue in the state of Nevada
looked upon the white bucks death as
an i'll omen. The hunter was very
careful in removing the skin to keep It
perfect. He sent 1t to San Francisco
and had it mounted. 1t is an object OF
great curiosity to all who are interested

Good butter must not only look well
and be firm, but it must taste well Tc
secure this good taste Is one OF the
most difficult tasks of butter making
Milk in ali its forms is one OF the most
susce ptible substances to taints ana
odors. 1t Is sweet and wholesome as
Il comes from the healthy cow, and to
make good butter it must be kept SO.
The COW stables should be clean and
well aired. so as to be free from odors
of mold and decaying manure. Inc
cows coat and udder should be cleaned
before milking, and the mixers hands
and clothing should be in civilized
condition. The tin milk bucket should
have been secured, scalded, and, If pos
sible, summed, before its daily use. Inc
teats should be MIXED with dry hands,
and all possible dust should be kept
out of the milk. Some dairymen cover
the pail with Unbranded wire gauze
sieve which catches the foam and dust
particles as the milk stream is conduct
ed through 1t. Hurry the milk from
the stable TO the house or cellar and
Immediately set it for Dreaming in the
cleanest of pans, which should be
treated as carefully as the milk buck
cts. Cool the milk as soon as possible
by aeriating, setting in stream of
cold water, or even by cool air in
we'll ventilated place. As soon as the
animal heat is removed the vessels
NAV be covered with clean tin covers;
wood absorbs taints SO readily that it
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 mir.
A little washing or baking soda in the
boiling water will help to keep things
sweet in cloudy weather. The can
that is to hold the cream 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. Farmer.

A little stowaway took possession Of
the sandbox in Franklin electric car
and made two successful trips without
molestation. He was somewhat of
musical genius, and at intervals his
strong notes rising from all parts of the
car aroused the curiosity of the passen-
gers.
Who was the ventriloquist? The faces
OF men and women were eagerly
watched on one side of the car to find
whence the music proceeded. He was
evidently an amateur, with a good
opinion of his own capabilities
At the end of the second trip the con-
ductor removed some boards from the
sandbox In order to find him, but was
outwitted by sound from another part
of the seat Not until the cushions and
boards were all lifted could the merry
little fellow be elected, and then, with a

WHEELS AND RIDERS.

Mrs. ELIZABETH CADY STANTON says
that women are riding to suffrage on
a bicycle"
CHAPERoNs who can ride bicycles are
In great demand in all OF the large cit
les of the country.
DocroRs have declared that the heart
of Zimmerman, the famous bicycle
rider, is fully two inches longer than
the average size of hearts.
W. D. BACHELOR, of Cornell college,
Iowa, has gone on trip, with two
companions, through Europe, Egypt
and Palestine on wheels. They expect
to pay expenses by corresponding with
papers. the three having list of forty
seven.
C. +. PARDIGoN was the first man
seen on bicycle in Richmond, Va. He
visited his old home in Paris about 1871,
and brought very tall wheel back
with him. A conservative estimate Of
wheels in actual use In Richmond
would be two thousand.
Rev. Mr.. FAIRBANKS, an American
missionary In India, attributes largo
part Of his success to the use of q
bicycle. Not only is he enabled to
cover a more extensive territory with
it. but the natural curiosity Of the ma
tives brings large crowds to see "a horse
that needs neither grass nor grain"
If women bicyclers will have the
saddle directly over the pedals and so
high that when the pedal is down the
foot must be bent to reach it, they will
make a much more graceful appear
ance. This will, Of course, make
mounting somewhat more difficult, but
the Objectionable knee action will be
less obtrusiye.

Dog, Door and Door-aIat.

A collie in Scotland, whom l know

that the door of the bedroom had

oner. Some days later he was again
told to fetch something; and, as the
wind was high, his master, after few
minutes delay, followed him. He

Causes of Impure MILK.

The principal causes of impure milk
are: Impure air in the milking place,
bad food, foul water and Glth; and as
they are all causes readily controlled,
they are inexcusable. The farmer who
exposes his cows to such conditions has
no right to complain of low prices and
lack of customers. On the contrary, he
should be fined for imperiling the pub
lie health by attempting to place on
the market tainted article which Is
liable to spread disease. If farmers
would only unite and bind themselves
70 observe scrupulous cleanliness in all
the branches of milk production they
might readily double its consumption.
The '.cowy" odor and the black sedi-
ment are the greatest hindrances to
the rapid development Of the Industry.
