herder at $95 a month and board, was
soon given a flock of 1900 sheep to run
on shares, and in three years he had
flock of his own, which multiplied at a
tremendous rate. The fleece paid all his
running expenses and more, giving him
his increase free His one flock grew into
two floeks. and the two doubled. GAIA

to managing his several flocks, In charge
of competent herdsmen. He also bought

A FRENCH METHOD OF PREsERv-
ING BUTTER.

Elgin Dairy Report.
A process and apparatus for treating
butter in a way which enables 1t to be
kept for long time, and to be subse-
quently restored to its primitive fresh
condition, is patented by Mr.. NJ. Julien,
of POS Fauborg st. Denis, Paris. The but
ter is melted in a vessel heated by "a
water bath at about 40 degrees c., or a
temperature which is just about sufficient
to enable the butter to be purified by the
simple subsistence of it's impurities without
any chemical agent. This publication
having been effected, the supernatant but
ter fat is removed in the melted state and
is run into casks It may then be kept
for long time and may be transported
to any climate without losing its qualities.
When the butter is required for consump-
ton it is restored to it's fresh condition
by treatment which consists in incor-
porating with the butter good fresh or
semi-clotted milk in sufficient quantity
say from 20 to 80 per cent-to replace the
buttermilk

WHICH PAYS BEST?

very plainly which factory pays the best

A FRIGHTENED HORSE.

A correspondent writes that his horse
is afraid of a bicycle, and asks how he
can cure him Of 1T. In reply to which
we would say that to thoroughly IA
mifiariZe the horse with the bicycle or
anything else, he must have an oppor-
tunity to examine it carefully, not only
by sight When in motion. but when
standing Still, and 10 smell OF It. The
nose Of the horse is to him what cur
fingers are to US in the examination Of
objects. As soon as the horse has had
the chance to look and smell of an OBJ
5ect to his satisfaction, then that matter
is settled, but until then he may seem
TO be worse frightened every time he
sees it. Nervous horses, like nervous
people, must have plenty OF time to be-
come acquainted with their surround
ings. and then they are Ell right. Never
punish a horse when frightened; 1t Is not
only cruel to do SO, but it always makes
q bad matter worse.

SALT ON ONION BEDS.

Country Gentleman.
Having read an article in some paper
recommending the dressing of onion
fields with salt, I would like some infor-
nation on the subject. In what way Is 1t
beneficial to onions? On what kind Of
soil should it be used? At what time ap-
piled, and what quality should be used
per acre?-M. B., Boyleston, Ind. $50 far
as we know, the use Of salt on onion beds
is of no particular value So far as salt it
self is concerned; but the material may
have some chemical effect IN setting free
plant food, and possibly also some effect
In holding moisture, Refuse. SALT which
has considerable fertilizer in it. may per-
haps be of equal or greater value. From
considerable observation of the use Of
salt, we have come sto the conclusion that

DOG NOTES.

Cocker spaniels are in full force in
America, and they are very uniform in
type, with the difference that they are
shorter and squarer In nuzzle than the
generality of the English dogs. The
''sauareness' is all right, but why short?
Every dog that is required to hunt by
scent should have long nose, because
his olfactory organs are thereby better
developed. The Swiss Mountain kennels
take the lead. The English champion,
Trumpington Daisy, qualifying as an
American champion.

A BUsINDss-LIkE SUGGESTION.

A man gives a 500 note for a stove
worth $50, possibly. The note is sold to
a neighboring banker or broker, which
indicates that he considers the maker of
the note good for that sum. Hence it
is reasonable to suppose that he would
loan the same man $50 on his note, which
would leave the latter 500 ahead on his
stove deal, less the little interest he pays
on the note. Then why not borrow the
money, pay cash for stove and starve'
out the stove fakirs2 This is a simple
business proposition, for which no charge
is made.
