Frost, Frolic and Business.

The wind over frozen ponds and lakes,
over nowfields of plains and open country,
is heavily charged with frost and fine part
icles of frozen matter. 1t is the most pene-
trating way for chill to set in. Sudden
warmth, sudden chill, and severe colds.
Girls and boys skating, driving for pleasure
or business, and men at work afield know
the difference in temperature. Yet the
youngsters skate away and with mouth
open laughing take in dose of sore throat.
Drivers and workmen throw aside wraps
and all know the next day from soreness
and stiffness what sudden chill means. Now
the best thing to do when housed is to rub
well at once with st Jacobs OIL If you do,
you will not have sorethroat; or if you are
stiff and sore, it will cure by warming the
surface to throw out the chill.

Careful attention to another point
will save labor and make better butter
II you stop the churn as soon as the
particles of butter have formed about
the size of wheat kernels. You can
then draw off the buttermilk and wash
it so thoroughly that it will require
very little streDg1S to work it, if it is
necessary or desirable to work it at all.
l wash twice with cold, salt brine, then
fioat in a weak brine of about 55 de-
grees for few moments. If not par
ticular about the temperature of the
last washing, the butter will be too
cold to make together conveniently and
make it difficult to handle. When you
have drained it thoroughly, sift over it
half ounce of salt to a pound CT but
ter. Let it remain a short time to dis
solve the grains of salt, then turn the
crank several times when it will be
massed together and quite as evenly
sailed as handwriting could DO it. Do
not let the lever or ladle go over with
a sliding plastering motion. You mcy
squeeze or pound it with impunity al
most, but every time you rub it over,
you spoil as many grains as you touch
and so much Of it is no better than oleo-
margarine, For packing, use the best
made, best looking ash tubs you can
find. Scald out with hot water, soak
with strong brine twenty-four hours,
turn that out and fill to the brim with
scalding hot brine, let cool and your
tub is fit for use. Pack as solidly as
possible, cover tightly and set in cool
place until ready for shipping.
Most of the older butter makers think
that you take all the flavor out of but
ter when you wash it, little dreaming
it is not the taste of butter at all they
are so fond of but simply butter milk,
others scald and even boil their butter
milk until all the delicate favoring oils
are dissipated, and nothing but a tai
lowish grease is left. You will hardly
find two farmer people who will think
The same sample is first-class. But
hSh yOu oCLO IL " q lCe1l SAlS yOU
nay be confident it will be graded about
right. There is too great demand for
jtrictly first-class butter for commits
sion man to let it go for less than best
prices. He will want more too badly,
but of course he can not get more than
it is really worth, you may be sure Of
that, and you may be sure also that II
you feed rightly, keep the barn free
from smells by busting the floor daily
with plaster, that if you are very care
full to keep everything about the milk
and cream perfectly sweet and clean,
that you churn it as soon as it is per-
fectly sour and is Of proper tempera-
ture, that you stop churning as soon |
is the butter forms in small particles, |
that you wash thoroughly in strong |
brine, salt and work lightly and pack
it in slightly, properly-prepared pack !
ages, and keep milk, cream and butter |
away from the air as much as possible, |
you can not fail to have butter of q |
flavor that will command |
creamery prices and may be termed |
Dairy butter in quality equal to
;reamery. Mrs. Robertson.

Cattle and Sheep from Argentina.

If British stock breeders have to fear
their American and Canadian competi-
tors, they have still greater trepidation
as to what exporters from Argentina
will do. The imports of both cattle and
sheep from that country have expanded
enormously during the present year.
In the ten months up to the end of Oc-
tober 81, 1853 cattle had been received,
whereas in the corresponding period of
1894 only 8,476 came therefrom, and
only $500 in the ten months of 1898.
To show how rapidly this import trade
is now progressing the number of the
last month received was 1897; whereas
only 416 were imported from Argentina
in October, 1894. In respect to sheep,
the imports from the Argentine Repub-
lie in the last ten months reached to
271, 1889, against 63,250 in 1894, and TO-
9S4 in the corresponding period of 1893.
Only the United States have sent us
larger sheep imports during the present
year, these being 367, 1854, while the Can
adian imports have been 143.869. The
flocks of Argentina are now mostly Lin
coin in character, and the resources OF
