Why do not some Of our enterprising
farmers start milk diaries in the south?
There. where pasturage and water are
ABUNDANT and the climate is mild, COWS
will give great yields. A year might
be necessary, perhaps, to perfectly &C
climate dairy cattle, and longer time
would be required to develop the best
breed for any given locality, but it is
absolutely certain that the milk bust
ness near any large southern city would
pay handsome profit It is almost i'm
possible for the large hotels at the win
ter resorts in Florida and elsewhere to
get milk in their neighborhood in suffi-
cient quantity for their needs, although
they pay high price for it The same
is true of the lines of railway that carry
dining cars A man who would go into
the dairy business in Florida would be
amply repaid for all his trouble Going
cautiously to work on small scale at
first he might build up dairy herd
which would be the wonder of the south
and be Klondike financially.
There is nothing like knowing when
you have had enough It is announced
that one of the largest oleomargarine
manufacturers in the country has seen
the error of his ways and is going into
the butter business-pure butter, If you
please, none other. He will buy it up
for foreign shipment. Nothing like a
little wholesome law once in awhile to
convert a sinner.
The expression "nutritive ratio is
apt to puzzle plain folk. 1t means the
proportion Of nutritive element found
In the whole ration fed to COW. If the
COW is fed ON corn and corn fodder, that
ration is deficient and is said to have a
wide nutritive ratio, perhaps because
it is wide of the mark If one-third of
. cows ration was nutritive elements,
the ratio would be called narrow, one to
three.
No small part of the work of butter
maker is to educate his patrons up to
the point where they win bring him
milk or cream untainted by sour,
clogged strainer, by flies, sourness in
the milk itself, bad odors from stable
smells, or any other kind of smells,
and bad favors from ragweed, garlic,
turnips or anything else that grows. In
educating his patrons, especially in the
matter Of cleanliness, the butter maker
viii need to keep perfectly good tenn
pered and gently persuade and convince
his patrons at the same time that he
observes an ironlike stiffness with the
rules he has published for their observ

poured into the cream vat. The whole

steam pipe passing through the vat.
When this temperature is reached, the

starter is poured into it to ripen it, and
when just right 1t is chprued and makes

Mrs Thomas Sangine, I,o4I Fourteenth ave-

most grateful thanks for the miraculous re-
covery of our eight-months-oldb baby girl. She
was taken with Cholera Infantum early in the
summer, and although we had the best medi-
cal attention, we fully expected to lose her.
She wasted away to shadow, and it was i'm.
possible to get any kind of infant food that
would be retained by the stomach, and nothing
seemed to check the diarrhoea. After the doc
tor gave up the case as hopeless we tried Mum
yon's Remedies, and to our delight found that
the first bottle was sufficient to check the
diarrhoea and enable the stomach to retain
food. A second bottle brought our little one

Tile and Stone Drains.

A Maine farmer, writing to The Ma
tional Stockman, says:
Where circumstances favor more eff
fective drainage can be accomplished by
combining stone with tile. This is not
infrequently impracticable, but where
the soil to be drained is more or less
stony the rocks can be readily disposed
of by placing them in the drain over the
tile and be of lasting benefit. A stone
drain well laid makes very effective
drain, and if properly placed will do
good service for a lifetime. It is now
nearly or quite 45 years since laid
stone drains on small area of wet
land, and they are apparently as effect
i've now as when first laid. But such
drains are costly if one has to have the
stone to construct them; besides it re-
quires much more time in digging the
trench and in laying the drain. Also if
tile is to be topped with stone the ditch
should be of width sufficient at the bot
tom to admit of laying the stone beside
the tile and bridge across with fat
stones SO arranged as not to press upon
the tile

NOTES ON COLD STORAGE.
Very Low Temperature Not Necessary II
the Air Is Kept Pure.

Very Low Temperature Not Necessary II
the Air Is Kept Pure.
At the meeting in Detroit of the So
ciety For tue Promotion Of Agricultural
Science Professor Rane Of the New
Hampshire Agricultural college read a
valuable paper on cold storage which
placed the matter on novel basis. The
professor made it appear that very
low temperature is not necessary pro-
vided the air is kept pure. Following
are in brief some of the remarks made
by Professor Rane:
The first essential to this preservation
is pure air. For orchard fruits the tenn
perature should be as low as possible
and be above freezing, grapes not need
ing so much cold In from 81 to 36 de-
grees, where light could be excluded
and the air kept pure and free from gas
es, the fruit will keep indefinitely.
The assumption that oxygen is the
agent of decay is erroneous. The condi-
tions which favor or avert plant growth
are the same as those which avert or
favor decay.
The presence of moisture favors de-
cay. The first gas generated in a house
is carbonic acid gas, and it is the first
impurity found in cold storage house.
If temperature is high, there is shrink
ing, then softening and loss of favor.
Fruits in vault in which candle can
not be kept burning are affected as if by
frost. Remove this gas as soon as found
to be present.
The temperature for preservation,
other things being right, was shown to
be not as low as generally supposed,
from 80 to 40 being given for apples, do
to 55 for peaches, As for pears, "a for
cabbages and 81 to 80 for fresh beef.
Butter, Professor Rane said, should
have % degrees and be kept in room
by itself.
A description of the station cold
storage house, which is ON the north
side of the barn cellar, was given. The
floor is impervious to air. The all i'm
portant part of it is the ventilators which
are run across the cellar. The filling
between the sheathing is of fine shaw
ings, packed as tight as possible. The
cost, including lumber and labor, was
given as $50. The system worked well.
OF 300 barrels put in the loss over win
ter was very light. Sold in the spring,
the price was for first quality. The only
expense of the keeping was the labor Of
hauling. Potatoes stored in the same
house kept perfectly.
The principle, as explained in the
Philadelphia Ledger, which reported
the meeting, is in keeping rid Of the
carbonic acid gas by changing the air
| by ventilation instead of by the exceed
ingly more expensive and troublesome
method of chilling and freezing.

Imnorters of WindhreaISs.

Windbreaks are placed next in i'm
portance to irrigation by E. p Powell
of New York. Writing to The New
England Homestead he tells that in
Oneida county, N. Y, there is an Or
chard of Red Astrakhans one half Of
which has a windbreak of arbor vitae
hedge and the other none. The protect
ed part is in perfect condition, the 9TH
er part is nearly dead; not thoroughly
sound tree in it. The crops show the
same difference At another place there
are on one side of the street hedges and
groups of evergreens, on the north and
west, on the other side is an open
sweep for the wind. The protected land
ripens lima beans and Isabella grapes and
is as good as whole degree of latitude
warmer than the other. Our serious
trouble is not from cold, but from cold,
drying winds and speedy changes of
temperature.
He recommends evergreen screens
everywhere, not only hedges but screens
of trees, allowed to grow tall without
clipping. The arbor vitae is generally
best, hemlock in some localities. Nor
way spruce wants more room, but is
valuable. The old plan of letting trees
grow up in fence lines was right. Too
much economy in clearing land is mis-
take. The proper trees for windbreaks
vary in different parts of the country,
but this means of protection is very gen.
orally useful.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty four hours; sedi-
ment or settling indicates an unhealthy
condition of the kidneys When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate or pain
in the back, is also convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder are ont of order.

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge SO
often expressed, that DIR. Kiimer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills
every wish in relieving pain in the back
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part Of
the urinary passages. 1t corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use OF liquor
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled to
get up macy times during the night to
urinate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. If you need
a medicine you should have the best. Sold
by druggists, price fifty cents and one
dollar. You may have sample bottle and
