echo Of that unfred salute was heard
If we may perpetrate such a bull The
Italian government announced that, since
it had not been notified of the election of
new pope, it could not be expected to
recognize his existence. 1t therefore
would send no troops to keep order among
the great crowds which would attend the
coronatin and so, II the church authori-
ties persisted in holding the coronatiol
there, they must do so at their own risk
Leo XIII. decided that the risk was too
great; and, therefore, at the eleventh hour,
transferred the ceremony of coronation to
the small but secure precincts uf the Sis
tine Chapel, where not more than 500 per-
sons. were present.
First, t.Tierce' was sung, and the s'obe-
dienee, OF the cardinals and bishops was
rendered to the Pope Then a procession
was formed, and the Pope was carried in
his chair, supported on the shoulders Of
his guards, to the Pauline Chapel for the
alteration of the blessed sacrament Mid
way down the splendid Sala Regia the
brilliant procession halted. A clerk Of
the chapel came forward, bearing a tri-
dent, upon the points of which was bit
of tow. Kneeling before the Pope. he
touched the tow with a lighted torch. 1t
famed up brightly, and then in a mo-
ment died out in utter darkness. Mean
time the clerk chanted in a plaintive mi
nor, Holy Father, thus passes away the
glory Of the world" Then they pro-
ceeded to the altar, where the Pope cele-
brated mass. During the ceremony the
first cardinal deacon invested him with
the pallium. After the benediction the
mitre was removed from his head, and
the tira put in its place, while the words
Of coronation were pronounced. Then
came a loud Amen from the whole as
semblage, cannon was fired and every
church bell in the city proclaimed thai
the Pope was crowned.
It may be taken for granted that, if the
present relations between church and
king continue the election and coronation
| of the next Pope will be effected in al
most exactly the same way as in the case
of Leo. XIII. Thatswill be the effect oi
the directions just issued by the Pope.

Many people are willing to pay for
appearance in butter as well as in other
things, and it pays in making butter
to put it up in neat packages. The best
is made from cream which is ripened
uniformly, and the dairyman who
undertakes to do without an icehouse is
working along wrong lines. Above all
he must know the capabilities OF his
cows individually, or there will be o
leak for every item of profit, and he be
in ignorance as to why he reaps no re-
ward for all his labor, and Disguised
with life in general. In these times the
doing of ones best is the only path
which leads from failure.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

In planting give trees plenty of room.
Nearly all kinds of stock are injuri-
Gus to young orchards.
In setting out trees thin them so as
to avoid forks and to make them head
low.
A few apple and peach trees should
be planted every year to keep up the
supply.
Missing trees in the orchard should
be replaced by thrifty young trees oe
some sort.
1t is not bad plan to keep the orchard
lands in as good a condition of fertility
as the cornfeld.
Dead or decaying trees in the orchard
afford harboring and breeding place
for insects and vermin.
The pear tree, after it once comes
into bearing, if kept healthy, can be
depended upon for fruit every year.
The best ground for peach orchard
is sandy soil that has been planted
for several years with general crops.
The union between the scion and
stock takes place by the inner bark
and not by the cut surface Of the wood.
The skill of the CRATER is then eRer-
cised to bring the inner bark of the
scio& into close contact with the inner
bark of the stock

PRIVATE CREAMERY.

Success of a Dairyman Engaged In the
Making of Prime Butter.
Here and there dairyman is break
ing away from the factories and trying

neighbor with an 19-cow dairy on
13O-acre farm, who made this change
last winter" writes L. B. Pierce in
Country Gentleman. HE bought
separator costing $3.50, and some other
conveniences, and proceeded to make
high grade of butter for customers
in our town and Akron, delivering
every Saturday morning. Almost from
the start his customers brought other
customers, so he had to buy the cream
of two neighbors, besides some from
creamery few miles away. / have
my doubts whether that bought from
the creamery brought him any profit,
but in most cases it was a necessity
in order to hold his customers through
period when from weather or acci-
dents to cows his own supply was in
sufficient. The most interesting fea-
ture of his experiment is the returns
he gets from the skim-milk fed to
calves and swine. He kills and retails
his veal and pork, also making sausagcs
and mince-meat, and l am inclined to
believe that his by-products bring him
in nearly as much as the beautiful but
ter his wife makes. Besides the by
products of the dairy which he sells.
including buttermilk, he sells ION his
regular weekly trips) the surplus from
fine vegetable garden, and more or
less orchard produce. He also retails
many bushels of potatoes. At the same
time they work extremely hard, and L
pity him when he has to go town with
a blizzard in the air and the thermOm-
eter some degrees below zero, which
all goes to show there is no royal road
to success"

and the manner in which it is done.
For good berries, carefully picked, ia
clean, new boxes, well packed and hon
estly measured, it may be estimated by

ready for picking, two cents; picking.
one and one-half cents: boxes, one cent;

freight or express charges, one and one.

A SOUTHERN OPINION.
The Road Problem Is Asserting Itself IN
the Cotton States.

The Road Problem Is Asserting Itself IN
the Cotton States.
The subject of improved public high
ways is attracting large share of pub
lie attention. In the opinion of the
Southern Farm Gazette, of Starkville,
Miss, good roads is one great need OF
the day in the cotton states. In order
to have better roads, it is necessary to
reorganize our present general plans OF
road working, and adopt more modern
and more effective methods. 1t seems
that it would be wise plan to utilize
county convicts in connection with this
line of work. These convicts are usual
ly a burden on the county. They should
be worked. They should be worked
for profit. What better profit can the
tax payers desire than the profit aris-
ing from better public roads? Better
roads are indirectly profit to every
farmer that travels over them. The
better the road, the less strain upon the
team and the wagon and the harness
and the patience of the driver. The
better the road, the greater the saving
of time in going from one mile to an
other, and the greater ease with which
the burden of freight is transported.

AERATION OF MILK.
Some of the Reasons Why It Is Necessary
in Cold Weather.

Some of the Reasons Why 1t Is Necessary
in Cold Weather.
It is remarkable that many dairy
men who are very particular about
airing the milk during the summer be-
come careless on the approach of cold
weather. While the milk will not spoil
so readily at this season, it is just as
necessary to rid it of the animal heat
by airing it as soon as taken from the
COW. Neglect of this gives the milk
that peculiar animal odor of which
housekeepers often complain, and which
they overcome in part by pouring the
milk into shallow vessel and placing
it i'm current of air. Besides creating
a prejudice against the use of milk the
odor affects the flavor.
Airing is, in some respects, even more
necessary in winter than in summer.
Not merely is the COW kept. under more
confined conditions, but the food is diff
ferent. Instead of the tender, juicy and
insipid grass, she partakes of stronger
tasting food which must inevitably inn
part foreign flavor to the milk. This
is, of course, very Objectionable; but it
can be taken out by thorough airing
directly after milking.

STEEL RAILS ON ROADS.

Valuable Suggestion Made by the Cow
ernOr OF New jersey.
The latest scheme for good roads
that of laying tracks of broad steel
rails along country roads and city
streets for the wheels of vehicles to run
on, thus greatly increasing the trac-
ton power of horses and the general
comfort and convenience of driving and
trucking suggested by Gov.
Werts, of New Jersey, in his last mes
sage. It apparently is an elaboration
and improvement of a system of paw
ing used in some foreign cit
les which has proved very sat
isfactory. Gov. Werts' sugges.
ton, which is really the propo-
sition of Mr.. Budd, commissioner Of
roads, is to lay double tracks of steel
along the country roads, filling in the
space between the rails with ordinary
paving of macadam. He says horse
will draw on such steel track 20 times
as much as on macadam. The unanimi-
ty with which drivers of all manner of
vehicles in city streets take to the car
track clearly illustrates the idea.
Many of the streets along the line of
y
loads of all kinds are drawn to and
from the ships, have long slabs of gran
tie, such as are used at crossings, laid
end to end in four parallel rows all
along the street, practically like car
tracks. The rest of the street is paved
with Belgian granite set in the ordinary
manner. These wheel tracks of granite
slabs afford perfectly regular and
smooth surface for the trucks to run
on, while tile granite sets give good
purchase for the horses. This style Of
paving has proved of great utility and
convenience. 1t is much easier for the
horses than where the wheels have to
jolt over the small sets, and they can
do much better work. 1t adds much to
public comfort, too, because the truck
ing is almost noiseless. The slabs wear
better than the small sets, because
there is no irregular wear by joltipg
and scraping.
This system of paving is in use in
some of the streets about the docks
of London, in Antwerp and many other
cities in Great Britain and on the con
tinent. Of course, steel ra:!s would be
a great improvement on the granite
slabs in many respects. Perhaps the
granite has an advantage over steel for
use in crowded city streets in that it
it not more slippery in wet weather
than is the rest of the paving, while
broad rails of steel might prove treach-
erous for horses where there is much
crossing of teams. Gov. Werts, how
ever, only suggested the use of steel on
country roads.
Many of the streets of Sheffield and
other towns in the north of England
are paved with blocks of stone IL to IS
inches long by 9 to IL inches broad.
These streets are practically as smooth
as the sidewalks. The stone is rougher
and softer than the granite. But while
this pavement is excellent for cabs and
other light vehicles, because of it's
smoothness and comfort, it is not so
good for heavy trucking, especially i'll
wet weather, as the horses are not able
to get good purchase on the broad
blocks.-N. Y. Sun.

TREATMENT OF GARGET.
Poke Root and Cream Will Do Much to
Relieve the Pain.

Poke Root and Cream Will Do Much to
Relieve the Pain.
The cause of garget in cows is usually
excessive flow and richness of milk.
which, if the bag is not relieved, soon
causes Inflammation and congestion or
caking. It is always the best cow that
is troubled in this way. The evil is
made greater by feeding too highly of
what will produce large flow of milk.
The bag or udder of cows should be ex-
amined frequently for several days be-
fore the cow calves. If it seems dis
tended it should be relieved by milking
out all that can be got from the teats at
least once, and, better still, twice day.
We have sometimes milked ten days or
more before the cow calved. If the
milking is begun it must be attended to
every day, as the act of milking in
creases the milk flow. Rubbing the bag
after all the milk is drawn with a salve
made of garget root or poke root and
cream will do much to relieve the pain.
We have used the poke root for this pur-
pose, and have known it to be used by
others. 1t is a weed that grows very
IuXuriantly on newly-cleared land, and
it's berries are familiar to every boy in
the country, as their red juice is often
used to write with. The poke root is
reputed to be poisonous if eaten, but it
is excellent to steep and let simmer
down with cream or milk as salve for
inflamed surfaces of any kind.--Ameri-
can Dairyman.

inexpensive Cold storage House.

A refrigerating house has been built
N Michigan, which will serve as use
full model for small country communi-
ties which desire the advantages Of
cold storage at low cost. The walls
of the house are built of cedar blocks,
laid up with lime mortar like masonry,
save that the mortar is laid under each
of the headers Is inches long, of which.
the wall is chiefly composed, leaving a
six-inch air space in each joint. The
outside of the wall has a coat of cement,
and the inside is heavily coated with
auicklime plaster against which
dressed sheathing was nailed while the
mortar was still soft. The floor is
paved with cedar blocks, and the loft
over the storage room is filed with
straw. The windows have fine sashes,
with successive four-inch air-spaces.
The cost of the building, with cold
room "a by 80 feet, and eight feet high,
is given at something over 5000. The
building is cooled by natural ice,
stored during the winter, and ripe
fruits are kept in it a month without
injury.
