PROTECTED SALT BOX.

One Should he Placed In tho Field wher.
ever stock Is Kept.
Live stock should either have a guam
tity of salt mingled in their food, or 1t
should be fed to them direct. If you
trust to feeding them salt at stated in
tervals the chances are they will often
be neglected for some period beyond
the stated time; consequently, when it
is fed them they will indulge too freely
and the well-known loosening effect of
salt is observed. The better way is to
place quantity of salt where it will
be accessible to them at all times, and
this is done in no more satisfactory
way than by the use of a covered
salt box similar to the one shown
Ia the sketch by l.. ID. SnooH. The
box is IA inches long, 0 inches wide, s
inches high at the back and inches in
front. The box is firmly nailed to the
fence board, or to n post or side of a
building, as most convenient. The

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

LET 1T always be remembered that
it is dangerous to use milk from sick
COW.
TUE best butter that was ever made
will not sell well in badly looking
package.
If the creamery or the dairy has
about it man who is not neat and or
derby he is good man to get rid of.
WHEN packing butter see that it is
packed solidly. This can be done by
putting in small quantity at time.
In some of our creameries anything
but neatness prevails. and neatness is
just as necessary in the creamery as it
Is in the dairy.-Farmers' Voice.

BUTTER FROM WHEY.
Tho Only Question Is Whether There II

Tho Only Question Is Whether There IL
Any Money In 1t.
The officials of the agricultural de.
partment are satisfied with the gen.
eral results of the experiments made
at Cornell university, which have shown
the possibility of making butter from
the whey left after the manufacture of
cheese. The only other question to be
determined is whether butter can be
made in such quantities as to pay. 1t
Is said to be good butter, qualified
judges being unable to detect it from
that made from pure milk.
The department leaves it to the man
ufacturers of cheese to show whether
butter can be thus made in quantities
sufficient to pay for the labor expended
upon it. In this connection the follow
ing figures from the annual report of
the commissioner of agriculture of
New York, the great cheese making
state, will go far toward answering
this question:
There was made in that state in 1892
100, 991, $40 pounds of cheese. There the
81 pounds of whey for each pound OF
cheese, making a total of Lib, APO, 1875
pounds of whey. The average of fat
left in the whey is about 39-100 of per
cent, which, reduced to pounds of fat,
equals 4,342, 362. Butter contains only
about IS per cent. of fat, and these fig
ures show that the whey thus lost is
capable of yielding ATTIC, 59s pounds OF
| butter, which at 20 cents a pound
would be worth $995,3l3.
This looks to be a matter worth the
investigation of those who have this
whey from which to manufacture this
valuable by-product.

More Than Eighty Per Cent. OF All Bss-
ter IL Produced In Them.
More than eighty per cent OF the
butter made In this country Is pro-
duced In home diaries and yet large
majority of people think that most
butter Of the country Is made At
efeameries
Thousands OF tons of butter are
made and sold every year for which
the producer gets country butter
prices and the consumer pays creamery
prices. This is because the average of
country butter is low as to quality and
country butter will rile low in price
until 1t averages higher or dealers
grade the butter they buy. They do
not do this because by doing so
they would offend those of their pa
irons who make low grade butter, and
they will not do it as long as those
who make good butter consent to &C
cept low prices. There is large num-
Der of home dairies, the owners OF
which get frst-class prices for their
products by selling to private families
and this number might easily be great
ly increased.
I have no quarrel with the cream
cries, quite the contrary, for they have
done a good work for the country as
well as for their patrons They have
taught farmers the value of giving
their cows first-class care and that inn
proved appliances pay, and by this
means the home diaries have become
more profitable and more cows are
kept than before. This is as it should
be, for the market for good butter is
never glutted and the farmer who pro-
duces good butter may, by proper at
tention to the matter of selling, make
larger profits from a home dairy than
he can by growing grain at present
prices. Springfield (O) Farm News.

NEW YORK, Sept. IA. The stock mar
ket today opened weak, the unsettling in
husnce of the previous day continuing
operative. London prices for American
securities, as had been expected, came
lower, the reported declines extending to
2M per cent. There was no important
news bearing upon the prices of stock
exchange securities, but the expectation
of something vaguely unfavorable was
felt by many OF the traders. The down
ward tendency was not relieved until
11:l5, when covering of shorts tempo
rarily stemmed the recession. The rally
extended from q to ~ per cent, the last
in Sugar and Tobacco and Missouri Pa
ciic. The improvement was short lived (,
however. and in the last fifteen minutes
of business another effective drive caused
recessions of Il to ~ per cent, Sugar
making the extreme loss.

CIcws' Financial Review

Henry Clews in his weekly financial re-
view, expresses the belief that the course
OF the financial markets is indicative of
a steady growth of public trust. Each
succeeding week, the wave of confidence
gains increased force and is steadily car
ryiDg before it all the opstructions of dis
trust. 1t is more and more recognized
that the elements which are making for
improvement stand associated with nat
ural forces; while thUse who have been
unssttling confidence have been con-
nected with the mere instruments OF COM
MERGE. 1t still remains a question
whether the latter factors, especially
the condition of the treasury and the sill
yer agitation. can materially obstruct
the great natural recupeiative forces that
are now asserting their influence from
one end of the country to the other and
through the entire range OF our industry.
Perhaps the best answer to this question
is in the fact that, for the last six months,
the recuperative forces have been steadily
gaining ascendancy over those tending to
arrangement and distrust.
That arrangement has arisen from no
uncomfortable cause, but simply from a
mistaken course in the financial usages
of the treasury. which had the effect of
depriving the banks of their customary
receipts ,of good from the government at
the clearing house, thereby compe ling
them almost entirely to suspend gold
payments and throwing the whole gold
movement into suspension, to the detri-
ment chiefly of the treasury itself. This
confusion is susceptible of remedy the
moment the treasury and the banks can
be brought into conference, with a view
to the restoration of their old relations IN
this matter. In the meantime the Loan
syndicate continues its valuable services
to the government by supplying the treas
ury with gold as fast as it is taken from
the reserve for Export and having pcr-
sisted, in that course to the extent they
alreauy have, it seems safe to assume that
they will continue this support until the
foreign exchanges have gturned in our
favor. ls
My information leads me to look for
ward to this approaching situate as the
point at which the banks will return to
the payment of customs duties chiefly in
gold and to providing gold for export,
the treasury at the same time settling its
balances at the clearing house in gold !;
while the syndicate will retire from its
services. leaving the circulation OF gold
restored to its normal condition.
The gold question HAVING baen thus
settled. there need be little further fear
abont the silver agitation. The treasury
reserve having been again placed upon a
safe foundation, the consequent recovery
Of confidence at home and abroad will
produce a revival of business and rise
in all values which will annihilate the
pretense that the depression of business
and the fall in prices have been caused
by the demonstration of silver" and
the free coinage of that metal will be rel.
egated to the dead issues of popular ig-
norance.
