make nothing better than a poor ar
ticIe of axle grease. It is the kind OF
stuff made by such persons and sold
for butter to stores that many writers
those favoring bogus butter-base
their opinion of farm dairy butter on
when they write that butterine or cleo
margarine is to be preferred to the
general run of dairy butter. It has
been so common in the past for many
writer's to condemn the product OF the
private dairy and extol that of the fac
tory, that il is refreshing to find at
least one editor of a dairy paper with
inclination and courage to expose the
dirty side of associated dairying, But
such exposure should not result in en-
tirely condemning that system-not by
any means. Nor should private dairy
ing be made to bear all the odium COM
ing from the filthy practices of ''un-
washed" COW keepers who make some,
thing on their own farms that they
call butter. The difference between
that class and the "unwashed cream
cry patrons is that the latter gets a
feirly good price for the butter fat in
his dairy milk and some me eats his
filth, while the farmer gets little or
nothing for his product aud not many
are foolish enough to eat it.
When we come down to rock bottom
truths, it will be found that the place
to make thoroughly good butter is in
the private dairy where every detail
from the selection and care of the herd
to the packing Of the product is direct
~ under the eye and control Of the
proprietor.
1t is true that dairy butter is not
quoted as high in market as creamery
butter, but it is also true that the best
farm or private dairy butter is never
quoted at all in the market. It either
goes direc5 to consumers or to retail
dealers who sell it to consumers and in
many cases it is all engaged before it
reaches the dealers. Such butter is
sold on its merit and not on the repu-
tation given farm dairy butter by mar
ket quotations and a certain class Of
writer's. It is a grade by itself, a grade
never quoted in any market, and sells
on an average higher than the best
creamery butter. 1t pays to make
such butter, and it can be made on any
farm by any intelligent and painstak-
ing person who has a good butter max
ing outfit. The skill we hear SO much
about in butter making is largely made
Of paintstaking, without which there
can be no skill, no success in any branch
Of dairying.

THE DAIRY.
FEEDING FOR BUTTER.

A correspondent writes the Country
Gentleman as follows: "Will you give
me ration to feed Jersey COWS for but.
ter made from corn fodder and timothy
hay, coarse wheat bran, corn and cob
meal or corn meal and llnseed meal,
fodder and hay to be cut2 We feed at
present Il pounds cut fodder, 4 pounds
bran, 8 pounds corn and cob meal, and
II pounds linseed meal, iu two feeds,
with 4 pounds whole hay at noon.
Cows are watered four times daily, and
run in barnyard for two or three hours,
when weather is fine. We will feed
half a bushel of mangels after January
18th in place of hay"
To which the folio wins reply was
made: The ration which is given is
not sufficiently heterogeneous as a ration
to be fed Jersey COWS in full milk, and
is rather email in quantity. A better
return would be Is pounds corn fodder,
s pounds hay Tor 40 pounds mangelsl,
4 pounds corn meal, s pounds bran and
8 pounds linseed meal. There are
reasons for believing that a free use Of
linseed meal causes soft butter, and at
the same price, we prefer cottonseed
meal as a supplement Of home-Faised
foods. If cottonseed meal is fed, more
OF the cheaper home raised foods can
be used in proportion to the cottonseeG
meal bought"

An exchange says: "Out of a past
which is far from remote or gray comes
the sound of a prophecy that certain
results of an election would open the
doors of the mills and set the wheels of
prosperity turning, Out Of the vivid
present comes a daily proof, from every
side, that the prosphesy did not prove
any better than the promise of a bunco
thief" And in the near future we see
the shadow of a mighty army OF
the digcontented arising to redress
their wrongs without waiting fer
prophets or prophesies.

MI. Russell had a peculiar voice. 1t

patriotism. Their statues ought to

POULTRY YARD
POINTERS.
Clinton, Iowa.

No human food is more paIatable
than eggs and poultry, and to those
who have no access to butcher shops,
no other fresh meat is so convenient,
particularly during warn weather.
In most poultry houses the perches
are made to drop diagonally from the
floor to the highest point, each perch
being higherthan the one in front of it.
This is a wrong arrangement, for each
individual hen wants to roost On the
highest perch. Make the perches all
the same distance from the floor, the
best distance being about 90 inches.
Poultry should have fresh ground
bone when it is possible to get it, but
if this cannot be had, the next best
thing is ground bone and oat meal,
which can be bought in almost any
town. Experiments made at the Ohio
Experiment Station showed that hens
fed with ground bono produced enough
more than those deprived of this to re-
turn 20 cents per pound for all the bone
fed them.
Statistics show that the average hen
produces something less than four
dozen eggs in a year. As it is very
easy to 80 care for a flock that the aver
ageegg production will reach ten d. z9n,
and fifteen dozen is not uncommon, it
will be seen that the poultry keepers of
this country are not living up to their
opportunity, and that a radical reform
must be brought about before the
aocks OF the country are returning the
profits that should be made from them.

Supreme Court few years later.
Domestic cares and duties occupied my
sole attention for some time, but when
my hus band commenced practcing L al
ways took great interest in his cases, and
l suppose acquired a taste for the study
in that way. He always wanted me to
resume the study, SO three years ago
commenced again.
"Of course many times | labored under
difficulties, but now am glad that did
not give up. l do not expect TO ever &C.

be quite content. l am not new woman,

Free-for- All Friendly Fight.
BERKELEY, CAL, Aug. 29.-Every.
thing is in readiness, for the great fresh
men-sophomore rush which will take
place tomorrow evening at $3.50 O clock
on the football field OF the State Univer-
sity. The two rival classes have been
worked up to fever heat over the pros
poets of the battle, and will enter the con.
test to be bound and manaclej only after
desperate struggle.
1t is difficult matter to foretell the out
come of the rush, SO evenly are the forces
divided. Odds are, how yer, slightly in
favor Of the sophs. Between three and
four hundred collegians will take part in
the fray. Last year the two classes fought
for an hour before an audience of no less
than 5000 people.
Rope and tackle have been procured in
quantities by both classes. The fresh
men will line up in double rank on the
football grounds and will be attacked by
the sophomores, who will probably make
their onslaught from the east, coming
down in body between North and South
halls.
