More than eighty per cent. of the
butter made in this country is pre-
tuced in home dairies and vet a large
majority of people think that most
butter of the country is made at
creameries.
Thousands of tons of butter are
made and sold every wear 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 rule 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 rs those

taught farmers the value Of giving
their cows tirst-class care and that i'm

means the home dairies have become
more profitable and more cows are
kept than before This is "a it should
be, for the market for good butter is
never glutted and the farmer who pro-
duces good butter may, by proper at

larger profits from home dairy than
he can by growing grain at present

Practice in sowing oats and peas to-
gether differs. This is one plan: Oats
and peas, two bushels of the former
and one OF the latter, may be sowed to-
gether, but it would be far better to
sow the peas first and cultivate or pillow
them In; for to do we'll they should be
covered deeper than the oats. Then
drill In the oats, being careful not to
get them covered too deeply. AS the

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 ahown
in the sketch by L. d Shook. The
box is IA inches long, inches wide, 5
inches high at the back and inches in
front The box is firmly nailed to the
fence board, or to a post or side of a
building as most convenient. The
cover is hinged. and has bevel-shaped
piece, e, nailed at the top to prevent
splitting; also to cause the cover to
.all back in position. The front end of
the box, a. is cut away, exposing the
salt, and in trying to get it the cover is
raised. Cattle readily learn TO raise
the cover when they are salt hungry.
The stake placed under the box in
front holds it firmly in position, and
the whole makes cheap and conven-
lent arrangement, as from a weeks to
several weeks supply Of salt can be
placed in the box at once. Orange

This is best done when they arc

two or three are together Like the
pig, duck or goose will cat more
when it has companion than when it
is alone, as greediness is one of the
characteristics belonging to both.
The food need not be expensive.
Boiled turnips, carrots, and potatoes,
with corn meal, make the best mess to
get ducks and geese fat quickly. They
must be kept very quiet, giving
plenty OF water for drinking, and
allowing pulverized charcoal once a
day. Ten days is long enough for get
