SKILL IN THE DAIRY.

How One May Succeed Under Any and
All Circumstances.
In producing . pound of butter. says
Prof. Robertson, there are &c times
more room for skill than in the pro-
duction of pound of potatoes. Dairy
ing offers 4 man the best chance for
putting his skill into money. The OBJ
ject Of the butter-maker is to get the
fat out Of the milk with rs little Of
the other constituents in the milk as
possible. In every 100 pounds OF but
ter there should be about IL pounds OF
water. 81 pounds of butter fat. 3
pounds of salt and pounds Of the
other constituents in the milk. A cow
is not a machine, but u living organ
ism. and therefore will not give a diff
ferent product because she takes diff
ferent food. The food docs not affect
the blood of . cow, from which milk
is largely formed. Food will affect
the quality of the milk sometimes by
changing the composition of the fat
itself. If the quantity Of fat is not A.
fec.ed the volatile fats from the food
will become part of the fat in the
milk. and give its peculiar flavor to
the milk. These volatile favors can be
expelled by heating milk or cream to
$50 degrees. The case with which
cream may be separated from the
milk sometimes depends upon the kind
of food a COW takes. Cows for making
butter should be handled under such
conditions as will give them perfect
repose. Cleanliness should be strictly
observed. Impure air OF the stable
will affect the milk, and ensilage will
not injure the milk when fed to cows
When cows have been milking a long
period or have been overheated, or
without salt, the milk will become
sticky and prevent complete separa-
ton Of the cream. BY having a few
fresh-calved cows milk to mix with
the milk Of cows that have been milk
ing a long time, better quality of
butter can be made. Keep the cream
sweet and cold, and use suitable fer
mentation starter, and You will get a
quality of butter in January as good
as the quality of June butter. If cream
is properly tempered, q temperature of
from 81 to So will he suitable for churn-
ing and IS minutes will be long enough
to get butter.-Prairie Farmer.

One case that points a moral as well
as can be desired is that Of the village
of Moorstown. n. j. For a number of
years real estate there was not market
able 1t any price. The country was
in q wretched condition. Finally the
town supervisors got together and
voted bonds to the extent of forty
thousand dollars for road building,
with the result that real estate is now
enjoying . steady demand and the
country is being supported by garden

market by teams.
Realizing that the matter Of road i'm
provement could best be brought to

in horses and repairs TO wagons and
harness made necessary by the awful
condition of the roads during several
months of the year. The average cost
of constructing gravel roads Is various
" estimated at from 81 600 to 81 500 per
mile. according to the locality. Dirt
roads require two-thirds of that sum
to keep in repair for ton years. while
the former method, it is figured, adds
$40 An acre TO The value Of the prop
erty.
The increase in the value Of the
property is not the only return that :
farmer gets from his investment in
good roads. Gen. Stone. Of tho federal
department of agriculture, has found
three independent estimates which
place the yearly loss to farmers in the
United States from bad roads at about
$500. OOo, 600, equivalent to 81 an acre
annually. Capitalized at 5 per cent.
this amount If saved would increase
the value of farm land $40 an acre. or .
total increase of 81, OOO. OOO, 900. AS the
total value of all farms is about Sea-
O0o. O00, 600 this would be an increase Of
so per cent In their value. As the
total annual value of farm products II
only $4,000, OOO, 900. one-fourth Of it,

Comparisons have also been made
with foreign countrieA The English
horse does twice the work Of the
American horse, the French horse three
times the work; not because they are
better horses, but because they travel
better roads Mr.. Wollen estimates
the annual cost of maintaining q horse
at 500. II only one-fourth of the
horses in Illinois could be spared, in
stead Of one-half or two-thirds as in
England or France, the annual saving
in horse maintenance for this state
alone would be gao, OOO, 600. Prof. Ely
holds that poor roads cost the farmer
