Cost of Making Butter.

The cost of the manufacture of a
pound of butter in the creamery is al
most entirely governed by the quantity
of milk handled by that creamery, and
decrease in the cost, on account of
the magnitude of the business, is fol-
lowed by an increase Of the price paid
to farmers for butter fat. One cream
cry in one of the dairy counties in
Iowa manufactured 100000 pounds of
butter at a cost of l cent per pound;
another $4,000 pounds of butter at
cost of IL cents. In the smaller cream.
cries the cost is reported at from to 7
cents per pound, the average being 3
cents. In creameries handling not
more than 2,250,000 pounds of milk,
the average cost is 2.42 cents, and
when 100000 pounds are added, the
cost falls to 90 cents, while in cream
cries receiving more than 100000
pounds of milk, the average cost is Ito
cents.
Where a creamery is established,
every farmer who patronizes it, or in
tends to patronize it, should exert him
self to the utmost to increase the sup
ply of.milk to the creamery. In 80 do
ing he will cheaper the cost of manu-
facture, and thus advance the price of
his own cream. The attitude of few
leading farmers is frequently the life
or death of a struggling creamery. If
these men throw their active support
to the creamery, they can increase
the supply of milk and thus enable the
creameryman to give an increased
prize. This increased price renders it
comparatively easy to secure still
further patronage, and, in time, an in
dustry profitable alike to the farmer
and the creameryman will be built up;
but if they withdraw their support and
discourage their neighbors, they de-
crease the amount of milk and decrease
the price, and frequently compel the
creamery to close or become mere
skim station.-"Wallace's Farmer"

Live Stock Market.

The receipts at Brighton last Tuesday sg-
gregated 1929 cattle, 66 sheep and lambs,
400 swine and 678 veal calves.
There were not many desirable Northern
and Eastern beef cattle on offer and BUSH
ness was slow for, although there were a
good many buyers on hand, they were criti-
cal as to quality and inclined to bcker
about price. Sales: beef cows. average
$50 lbs, 2ac; oxen, average 1880 lbs, SO 80
cwt; beef cows, average 663 lbs, 2ici 1
beef COW weighing 1910 lbs, &c; beef cow
weighing 1880 lbs, 4c; beef COW weighing
1900 lbs, SIC; cattle, average, 1l45 lbs, 4Ac;
2 cattle, average l405 lbs, DC.
There were good many mich COWS ON
Offer, but business was not particularly
brisk, as sellers were holding out for high
prices. There is strong feeling among
drovers that the demand is likely soon to
exceed the supply and that there is there
fore ample justification for a strong tone.
For veal calves the demand was not near
ly so active as it has been recently, and
values were lower.
In sheep and lambs trade was necesssr-
lily unlmportant because of light offerings.
Sales: sheep, average 1903 lbs 44c; lambs
average II lbs, &c, and 10 lambs, average 81
lbs, 5ic.
SwINE--The market was active and all
offerings were quickly absorbed at Al to DC

Feeding for Eggs.

Where fowls have free range it is
most economical to feed them twice
day. The fowls should be let out early
in the morning; in fact, if there is fear
of enemies or thieves the henhouse
had better be left open, so that the
fowls can come out at will. This they
will do at daybreak, and by wandering
over the field, secure large amount of
worms and insect food. They should
receive their morning meal at a fixed
hour, and Immediately after breakfast
is a convenient time. So much de-
ponds on the size of the birds that it is
impossible to give precise rule as to
the quantity of grain to be given to
each. 1t is obvious that a Brahma of
ten pounds weight and q game fowl of
four pounds would require very
different quantities Of food. Again,
more food is required to keep up the
due amount of animal heat in the win
ter than in summer. When a hen is
producing eggs she will eat nearly
twice the amount of food that she re.
quires another time. Hence the sue
cessful poultry breeder will need to OBJ
serve carefully the requirements of his
fowls and govern himself accordingly.
The best rule, both as to quantity and
time, is to give the fowls full meal in
the morning, and the second shortly
before going to roost. There is one
important advantage dependent on
having fixed hours of feeding, namely,
that the birds soon become accustomed
to them, and do not hang about the
house door all day long, as they do if
irregularly and frequently fed. They
consequently obtain greater amount
of food for themselves, and are less
troublesome than they otherwise would
be.-Mirror and Farmer.

Winter Care of Ewes.


1.-THE profits on lambs" says an ex-
change, depends great deal upon the
seasonableness of their birth. Unless |
one makes a specially of winter-bred |
lambs, where all conveniences are had |
for bringing them up in dollhouse fash
ion, q winter born lamb is nuisance
to the shepard and generally q losing
animal. 1t requires so much attention
and care to rear it that, by the time it
gets good start it has actually cost
more than it will bring when sold.
Winter-born lambs are consequently
unreasonable, unless one is in the bust
ness for supplying the market with
early dollhouse lamb. Then it is
different matter.
1.-The seasonable time for the out
door focks to bring in lambs is from
the middle of April to the middle of
June. Those born before the lat of
April meet risks that make their exist
ence somewhat precarious. The eX-
tremes of cold and wet weather will
frequently kill or sicken the best cared
for lambs on the range or in the yard.
The average sheep owner has enough
to do to protect the eheep from inclem-
ent weather and provide them with
sufficient food, without wasting his
time in looking after the poor, forlorn
winter-born lambs. For this very rea-
son, coupled with the uncertainty OF
rearing the creatures, the profit of
lambs depends largely upon the season.
abeness of their birth. To make this
not be mated until the proper time,
and then through the winter they
should have the care their condition
warrants. The May and June lambs,
without doubt are the most profitable
ones for the average breeder on large
scale, who has nothing special pre-
pared for raising them in cold weather.
One can, with good care, count upon
raising 100 per cent of the May or
June lambs, while the March lambs
may suffer loss of so per cent.
"The ewes with next years lambs
can stand the cold weather all right and
do good deal of roughing it without
being injured. They are much better
off with their unborn lambs than they
would be with the little creatures de-
pending upon them through the wintry
season. The ewes should have the
preference of attention, both in the
way of shelter and the best food. If
the ewes are kept in fine healthy condi-
ton, the lambs will invariably be of a
superior type, too, but stunt the growth
of the ewes, and you pay for it in the
lambs.
"Never permit any neglect of the
ewes with lambs and feed them liber-
ally with well balanced rations. Corn
in particular should be given to them,
for this is heating and fattening, and
there isI.no danger that the ewes will
get too fat in winter for their health.
The fat enables them to withstand the
cold of, winter and to keep the little
body inside nourished and supplied
with blood. Oats and wheat screen
ings that are free from smut can be fed,
but smut actually causes serious harm
sometimes to the lambs and mother.
Plenty of rain water, if possible,
should be given to the ewes as many
times day as they want it,"

AGRICULTURAL.
The Season for GOslings,

Goslings are easy to raise if managed
properly. They should be early hatch
ed, about the middle of April, that they
may get the first bite of fresh grass
while young and tender. They need
little else If they come off strong. They
require some shelter from the hard
beating storms, and the severe vicissi-
tudes that our climate is subject to, es.
pecially at night. The teuderest age
for the gosling is when it first com
mences to feather. When they do well
they make rapid growth for the first
few weeks, and their strength is ex-
hausted in completing size. Then
there comes the second drain on the
system, and that is when they are
taxed to produce the material for
feathers. AT this time they need q
little care and feeding. They should,
be closely watched, especially during
hard beating rains or sudden showers.
Their bodies, particularly their backs,
are nearly naked, having outgrown the
soft covering of gosling down, and
consequently the sudden and heavy
rainfall beats them to death. All va
rieties of aquatic fowls are chary of wet
ting their backs. When full feathered
it is next to an impossibility for the
water to penetrate through the thick,
oily mat of feathers and reach the skin.
The feathers of all kinds of water
fowls are cleaner, and their plumage
much prettier, when daily bathed in
clear, pure water. The feathers of
geese are more to be desired, as they
are more valuable in comparison with
ducks. When the goslings are full
feathered there is little danger of loss,
except from the visits of four.footed
enemies, who are often fond of duck
lings now and then, as many we'll
tended flock is oftentmes called upon
to testify by scant numbers. A full
grown goose will winter on hay, but
the thrifty farmer is apt to object to
them in his cattle yards, and with rea-
son. About a farmhouse geese are
seldom seen in these days. The old
housewives who used to make their
feather bed from summer plucking of
their focks, together with the coat from
the fall slaughter, have passed away,
aud the young daughters and daugh-
ters-in-law disdain to soil their hands
with picking geese. The business has
latterly fallen to the male department,
who have shamefully shirked this ig-
noble duty, and this branch in the
poultry line has nearly dropped from
the farmers calendar. Goslings should
be fed sifted meal thoroughly scalded,
with little salt, when moulting.
Geese are seldom attacked with dis :
ease and live to great age. Accidents
oftentimes befall them, but otherwise
they are hardy after the first moult.
The different specimens of varieties
can be found in large, fancy poultry
yarde, but as uniformity in the farm
yard they have gone by.-Mirror and
