BUILDING A CREAMERY.

"A Egw Suggestions Concerning Arrange
ment OF the Machinery.
Since the creamery question In being
agitated perhaps a few pointers ON che
building and the arrangement OF the
machinery may not be amiss.
The first move should be to find a
suitable location. At first thought this
might seem to be an easy matter. The
site is very important, however. 1t
should have pure air and sunshine
natures best and cheapest disinfectanSS
land be free from any surroundings
that would be likely to taint the atmos-
phere. Put it far enough from stables,
shops, and from the railroad, that the
SCOT may not be nuisance.
Good, pure water is Indispensable just
as necessary as pure air. No one can
make good butter withontit. Few peo-
pie are careful enough about the source
Of their water supply. With the sur
rounding surface saturated with inn
purities, it cannot be otherwise than
that part Of it finds it's way into the
well, unless the greatest precaution is
used to prevent it. The building should
be located high enough to insure pep
feet drainage. The drain should De
carried several hundred feet under
ground from the factory, before it IL
allowed to come to the surface. No
drain is complete without trap"
The plant should be as centrally To-
Gated as possible, but not too far from
the shipping station, If the product is
to be shipped. The best site is at side
hill, SO that the weigh room can be at
the east side If possible. 1t will then be
sheltered from the cold winds in winter.
The driveway should be graded high
enough to allow the milk to flow from
the weigh can into the receiving vat. II
the vat can be placed above the level Of
the separator it will avoid the pumping
Of the milk.
The more convenient everything iD
arranged the fewer persons will be re-

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

There was q time when it cost little
fortune TO buy good bull, but the time
Is not now.
Keep up the milk fow. Once i
shrinks it can never be restored until
after the next calf is dropped.
An exchange recommends linseed oil
in place of EPSON salts. That is put
ting linseed meal about where it &c
longs, in the list of medicines.
While striving to make the COW COM
Portable don't forget that the calf that
is to develop into good cow must be
kept comfortable this winter, too.
The nose Of feVerish COW is hot, and
when that is the case dose of EPSON
salts will often be all that is necessary,
except that the rations should be less
ened.
A well-known dairyman declares thHt
he gets two dollars for every dollars
worth of grain that he feeds in summer,
1t is pretty difficult to get better in
vestment than that.
In South Dakota some Of the cream
cry companies propose to hold dairy
schools in the schoolhouses. If any
such schools are in your neighborhood,
by all means attend them.
Would it astongsh anybody II we
should say that millions of dollars are
wasted in the dairy by unscientitic feed
ing? We believe it. The farmer can
make money by studying feeding syS'

BARRELlNo APPLES.
II the Work Il Done Properly the Fruit

n the Work Il Done Properly the Frulb
win Not Rot.
Many of the most profitable opera
tiOns in commercial life depend in the
first instance upon very simple facts.
Most persons would pass by without OBJ
serving the barreling of apples as a
case in point. If apples were placed
loosely in barrels, they would soon rot,
though passing over but q very short
distance of travel; and yet, when prop
erly barreled, they can be sent thou
sands of miles-even over the roughcst
ocean voyage, in perfect security. This
il owing to fact discovered years ago,
without anyone knowing particularly
the reason, that an apple rotted from a
bruise only when the skin was broken.
An apple can be pressed so as to have
indentations over it's whole surface
without any danger of rotting, proyid-
ing the skin is not broken. In barrel
ing apples, therefore, gentle pressure
is exercised so that the fruit is fairly
pressed into each other; and it is impos-
sible for any one fruit to change its
place in the barrel on it's journey. APP
pies are sometimes taken out of the bar
rels with large indentations over their
whole surface, and yet no sign Of de-
cay. In these modern times we under
stand the reason. The atmosphere is
full Of microscopic germs which pro-
duce fermentation, and unless they can
get an entrance into the fruit rot can
not take place. A mere indentation
without rupture Of the outer skin does
not permit of the action of these mi-
crobes. This is simple reason why
the early observation enabled the bar
reling Of apples to be so successful

panying this shows how easily hand
some, artistic entrance can be made. IL
calls for a hedge along the front and
two cobblestone posts, one on either
side of the driveway. Such posts can
be built of round field stones. A little
cement and lime is all the necessary ex-
pense, for one ought to be expert
enough to lay the stone up himself,
smoothness not being a desired charac-
teristic. Let the hedge end against
these posts and let there be some shrub
berry and trees growing just inside the
entrance. The driveway ought to
enter on a curve, as the effect is in this
way greatly heightened. Let this road
way be slightly rounded to prevent
wash from rains. If it is desired that
means be provided for closing this
entrance occasionally, provision can be
made for stretching two heavy ircn
chains from post to post, staples being
inserted in the posts as the stones are
laid.-Orange Judd Farmer.

expense will be. If were building q
creamery for myself / would build the
chnrnroom in q sub-basement, making
the excavation about feet deep, which,
with an s-foot wall, would permit the
use Of plenty of windows for light and

cure as even temperature as possible
