MILK AND BUTTER.
How to Handle Them So as to Make
DniryinE n Success.

lo" ~ HAhuIe Ihem so as TO make
Dnirying n Success.
Few farmers realize how susceptible
milk is to bad odors. Milk should never
be kept in cellar or in room where
there is any cooking or any vegetables
Salt should never be kept in a room
where it can absorb any bad smells.
Perhaps half the dairy butter is spoiled
by sailing it with salt that has been
kept in the kitchen or in some bad
smelling cellar. 1t has been recently
Gscertained that salt will absorb more
bad odors than anything else, and if
butter is salted with salt that has been
lying around andltept in a dusty corner,
or even covered up with an old horse
blanket, or has been subject to any bad
odors, it will give the butter an off
flavor and partly spoil it for the market
Dairy and roll butter should be sent
to the market as quick as it is churned,
for every day it lies around the store or
sits around the house it goes off flavor
and loses its freshness and deteriorates
In value. Roll butter should be nicely
wrapped in cheese cloth, each roll sep
arately, which should be wet in strong
brine before it is put on the butter. 1t
should then be packed in tubs, clean
boxes or half barrels, which should al
ways be lined with cheese cloth or
parchment paper. Tub butter should
be- packed in tubs that will hold about
the amount of one churning, so that
there won't be two different colors in
the tub. In sailing your butter put in
nearly an ounce of salt to one pound of
butter, and use fine salt. Don't work il
too much; have the buttermill we'll
washed out before sailing. Don't let
it remain exposed to the air, as it will
lose its flavor; we want all the flavor
we can get in butter.-Hoard's Dairy
man,

A GOOD COW STALL.

blocked out two-thirds of its width and
let in on each post, which will serve as
stay or brace when drawing the wires.
The tie-chain plays on a vertical five
eighths-inch iron rod, which runs from
the horizontal scantling to the bottom
of the trough, one-half inch from wires,
and is fastened with staple at top, and
auger hole at bottom. This is much
better than fastening at side of stall.
The COW can lie on either side, can lick
herself, or lie with her head on her side
and still be unable to get far from her
proper place.
The best fastening is strap left per-
manently about the cows neck with a
ring sewed on strap. Then with snap
on the end of chain, one can fasten or
unfasten the cows from the adjoining
stall.
In fastening by this device we should
step into the adjoining stall, reach over
and turn the neck strap until the ring,
which is sewed fast, comes on top of
the neck, then reach out and take the
chain from over one of the middle wires
(Nhere it should always be left when
turning out the cattle) and snap into
the ring on collar.
While this figure is somewhat out of
proportion the dimensions are correct,
for an ordinary Jersey COW. The un-
obstructed front view this gives from
the entry is a satisfaction to me, and
would be to anyone who is not ashamed
of his cows.-R. E. Roberts, in Ohio
Farmer.

ROAD LEGISLATION.
Good Deal Has Been Accomplished
in This Direction.

in This Direction.
Once u community finds out that
good roads are possible all the year
round, and that they are cheaper-by
all odds-than poor roads, it will insist
upon having highways that are public
comfort and convenience.
"The best is the cheapest" applies to
nothing else with moGe force than to
roads. The farmers are learning this
fact, and only the fear of greatly in
creasing taxes keeps them from push
ing the movement for getting the best
stone highways.
This objection is now being over
come by following some plan whereby
the whole property of the state, city
country, is being taxed to build the
country roads through n system
whereby state aid is being extended to
communities and help is offered those
that offer to help themselves.
IL is matter of uncertainty which
need fixing most, the roads or the road
laws of this country. Fixing the latter
will do much toward correcting the
former.
In legislative way, a good deal is
being done. In the matter of the att
ual work of fixing the highways there
must, of necessity, be great improve
ment in the work and methods.-Good
Roads.

NOT FAIR WEATHER SOLDIERS
West Point Cadets are Hardened to Stand
Exposure.

West Point Cadets are Hardened to Stand
Exposure.
Those who are familiar with the facts
assert that there is much misinforma-
tion prevailing as to the alleged fatal
effects of the inclement weather at
Grants inauguration in 1878 upon the
West Point cadets.
The matter has been investigated at
the war department, and it has been
found that of the 1876 West Point men
who marched up the avenue in that
blizzard without their overcoats, but
one died during the year, and he not
from causes resulting from exposure.
The cadets are not tender plants, but
are hardened to exposure in every SOL
dierly way, walking their posts on
guard, day and night, in all kinds of
weather, like real soldiers, as they are.
A West Point cadet fell in chill
while passing the executive mansion
and kind-hearted Mrs Grant had him
taken inside and cared for for week,
when he was able to return to his stud
les. That was the only case of sick
ness resulting from exposure, of which
any one was advised, and very few knew
of that,

FARM AND GARDEN.
HOW TO REPAIR ROADS.
Twelve Rules Furnished by nm Icnr-
lInh ROnh Imnrnvnmcnh annAnAr

Twelve Rules Furnished by nm Eng
liah Road Improvement Society.
One great hindrance to successful
IA ming Is bad roads. The wear and
tear on horse flesh, wagons and har-
ness caused by bad roads is enormous.
The loss of time made necessary in
the slow going to market, mill or fac
tory because of bad roads is never com
puted. To make bad roads good is o
long step towards success in farming.
Keeping good roads in good condition
Is essential in their long usefulness and
cheap maintenance.
The London (England) Road Improve
ment association has recently issued
some rules for keeping macadam and
Telford roads in repair. Some of them
are very applicable for keeping any
good road in repair:
1. Never allow hollow, rut or n
puddle to remain on road, but fill it
up at once with chips from the stone
heap.
2. Always use chips for patching and
for all repairs during the summer sea-
Eon.
g. Do not spread large patches of
stone over the whole width of the road,
but coat the middle or horse track first,
and when this has worn in, coat each
of the sides in turn.
a. In moderately dry weather and on
hard roads always pick up the old sur
face into ridges six inches apart, and
remove all large and projecting stones
before applying n new couting.
8. Never spread stones more than one
stone deep, but add second layer when
the first has worn in, if one coat be not
enough.
6. Never shoot stones on the road and
crack them where they lie, or smooth
surface will be out of the question.
7. Never put stone upon the road for
repairing purposes that will not free
ly pass in every direction through a
two-inch ring, and remember that
smaller stones should be used for patch
ing and for all slight repairs.
8. Recollect that hard stones should
be broken TO finer gauge than soft, but
that the two-inch gauge is the largest
that should be used under any circum-
stances where no steam roller is used.
o. Use chips, if possible, for binding
newly laid stones together, and remem-
ber that road sweepings, horse drop
pings, sods or grass and other rubbish,
when used for this purpose, will ruin
the best road ever constructed.
10. Remember that water-worn or
rounded stones should never be used
upon steep gradients, or they will fail
to bind together.
IL. Remember that the middle of the
road should always be little higher
than the sides, so that the rain may run
into the side cutters at once.
12. Never allow the water tables, gut
ters and bitches to clog, but keep them
clear the whole year through.

the roll-way is narrow as is usually the
case. A plan is shown in the cut by
which the barrels of apples are carried
to the surface with but little lifting,
and without jarring the fruit. The di-
ngram tells its own story, except that
the triangular truck that is mounted on
two rollers is represented larger than
need be, thus making it higher than p
actually necessary. The rollers run ON
u wide plank that rests on the edge of
the stair treads. The same arrange
ment will be found equally servceable
in putting apples into the cellar in the
fall, and for use with vegetables, etc.

COUNTRY ROAD MAKING.

suEEestiOns from the Ontario De-
pnrtment of Agriculture.
y report on road-making from the
Ontario department OF agriculture con-
tains the following good points: Per
feet drainage, first, of the foundation
of the road bed; secondly, of the road
surface, are the points in road making
on which too much stress cannot be
laid. Surface drainage is ac-
complished by open drains on each side
OF the grade, having sufficient capacity
to drain not only the road bed, but the
land adjoining. With open drains and
with tile drains make and maintain a
free outlet to the nearest water course.
a drain with an outlet is useless. In
constructing a good road a dry founda-
ton is the matter of first importance.
The graded portion of the
road should be wide enough to accom-
modate the travel upon it, and not
greater, the slope being uniform, not
heaped in the center. The crown
should be we'll above the overflow of
storm water, and should have grade
sufficient to shed water readily to the
open bitches on either side. Do not
round it up SO as TO make the grade
steep and dangerous, under the mis-
taken impression that better drain
age will thereby be secured. Nor should
ii be so low as to allow water to stand
upon it in depressions. Under ordi-
nary circumstances one inch or one
inch and half to the foot is proper
grade; that is, roadbed &c feet wide
should be from 13 to 20 inches higher
at the center than at the side"

portnnt Capture.

portsnt Capture.
On Monday the 10Th Harold Marquisee, OF
Utica, N. Y, was arrested in Syracuse, N.
Y, on a warrant sworn out by the DR.. Viii.
liams' Medicine Co., charging him with forg
cry. On the 10Th of December Marquisee
visited photoengraver in Syracuse, say.
ing he was the representative of the DIR.
Williams Medicine Co., and arranged for the
making of full set of plates for the direc.
ton sheets, labels, ETC., of the famous DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. News
Of this reached the home Office, and no time
was lost in arranging for his arrest when he
should return for the plates. He returned
on the 10Th, and was accordingly arrested
and is now in Jail in Syracuse awaiting ex-
animation, which occurs on March I'd.
This arrest proves to be an important
one. In addition to various plunder, such
as medical books, typewriters, rugs, etc.,
found in Marquisee's trunk when arrested,
the police also found counterfeit coin both
in the trunk and on his person; and in a
search of his apartments in Utica found a
complete outfit for counterfeiting consist
ing of crucibles, bellows, nickel, lead,
bismuth, antimony, q small blacksmith
forge, a charcoal furnace, and several pas-
ter-of-paris molds. The United States mar.
shals want him just as soon as DR.. Williams
Medicine Co. are through with him, and, no
doubt, he will be sentenced for a long pc
riod.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
his counterfeiting operations, he showed his
knowledge of the proprietary medicine busi.
ness; for these pills are in such great demand
that they are easily sold at any drug store in
| the United States. His scheme was to work
the country druggists and sell his imita.
| tions at discount of ffrom2percent. to 5 per
cent, explaining the reduced price by the
fact that he had picked them up in small
lots and at a discount from dealers who were
overstocked. BY working fast and making
long Jumps he hen, would have secured .; many ANY
proprietors of DIR. Williams Pink Pills are
most fortunate to have caught the rogue, be
fore he had fairly started, and to have thu:
kept these spurious goods out of the market
