Butfermilk for the Pigs.

Buttermilk should not be given in
large quantities to a sow that is nurs-
ingpigs, says Theodore Lewis, in Amer
lean Swineherd. 1t may so affect her
milk by causing it to curdle premature
ly in the stomachs of the young pigs
as to cause the death of the latter. If
fed at all, the quantity should not ex-
ceed 40 pounds to a barrel of swill. If
the buttermilk has been obtained from
a creamery and has become an acid be-
fore it can be fed, better avoid feeding
it. Buttermilk as obtained from cream
cries, even though fed to shoats or pigs,
when fed single and alone, will, as a
rule, cause the evil results above al
luded to. And yet there is no food that
may be fed to such great advantage in
connection with other food as the by
product of the dairy.

COULDN'T STRAIGHTEN UP.

Breed, Wis, June 16th.-Charles F.
Peterson, of this place, Justice of the
Peace for Oconto County, tells the fol-
lowing story:
''For years I had an aching pain in
my back which troubled me very much,
especially in the morning.
81 was almost unable to straighten
my back and the pain was unbearable.
81 did not know what it was, but
seeing an advertisementofD odd's Kid
ney Pills concluded to try box.
81 can only say that that one box
alone has done me more good than
anything else ever did.
81 feel as we'll now as ever was.
81 have recommended Dodd's Kidney
Pills to several others who are using
them with good results"
Mr.. Peterson is highly respected
man and one who would not so posi-
lively make a statement unless it was
absolutely true.

FRAMEWORK OF oCTAGoN sILo.

900 2X7's, three feet long and six dol
lars worth of felt nails, three men can
build a silo in three days. The expense
for roof and bottom would be the same
as for,any other shape or style.
1 got out the lumber for mine and
paying the saw bill, cement, nails, pa
per, mason work and all complete it
cost me $29.7O. The size is IL feet in
side and "a feet high. 1t will hold
silage enough to feed IL head of cattle
twice day for six months. When the
foundation is completed, place the stills
on and nail the corners together. Then
set the boards up at the corners and
plumb them with level or plumb staff;
let one man hold the joint on the out
side where they belong, place two feet
apart and nail them from the inside.
Spike the joist at the corners as you
go for the first 10 feet, then put the
upper section up the same way. The
ioist may be sawed the same length
with crosscut saw by punching them
together. By the ground plan it will
be seen that the joist and boards at the
corners all have to be the same slant.

Soft or SlushX Butter.

Soft or slushy butter may result from
several causes. [ would recommend
the feeding of coarse wheat bran, corn
meal and small quantity of cotton
seed meal. A better quality of butter
can be made by feeding some good clo-
yer or timothy hay instead of all fod-
der or straw. The condition of the
cream is also important. 1t may be
churned too sweet, not be properly
ripened or churned too warm. Cream
should have plenty of acidity, be thick,
and be churned in cool room, starting
at temperature of Sc. The butter
milk should be washed out with cold
water and not pressed out, then slight
ly worked and pressed into prints. This
is the way creamery butter is made,
and they do not put anything in to keep
it hard and firm.-Farmer's Friend.

HOME CHEESE MAKING.
Process of Manufacture, Together
with All Other Necessary Re-
IT
. Quirements, Describe in Full.

Where but two or three cows arc
kept it is better to buy what cheese
is consumed than to try to make it.
Where cheese may be needed it may
be well for two or three farmers to
go together and let one party make
cheese for all. twenty-five gallons of
milk will make cheese of 20 pounds.
This will require hoop about II
inches in diameter and about the
same in height. The other require
ments will be the cheese tub to set
the milk in, basket, strainer cloth
for draining the curd, -.and press
OF suitable size to accommodate the
cheese to be made. The milk should
be heated to about 80 or "a degrees.
Soak rennet in weak brine, using
about three quarts for one rennet.
One rennet will curdle about 1000
quarts of milk, and the quantity can
only be ascertained by experiment,
since they are of various strength.
but sufficient should be used to curd
the milk in 20 minutes. Cut in
squares of about an inch with knife
that will reach the bottom of the tub,
the whey dipped or run off and the
columns carefully broken with the
hand. Heat the whey that has been
dipped off, or an equal amount of
water to $50 degrees and turn this
over the curd so that all parts may
be scalded alike. Stir slowly and
carefully. Cover so as to prevent
cooling, and let it stand about 20
minutes, when the whey is dipped off
again and the whey allowed to drain
off. In about 20 minutes it will be
sufficiently cool to again be turned in
the tub, where it is stirred or cut up
fine enough SO as to take salt freely
and through all parts of the curd
Put in about one ounce of salt to each
IL quarts of milk. When salt is thor.
oughly mixed with the curd it is
dipped into the cheese hoop, which
has had cloth previously put in it
Bring the cloth all about the curd
and put to pressing. The pressure
should be moderate at first, and as
soon as it is sufficiently pressed to
handle take it out and put in dry
cloth in the same press. This cloth
should be made to fit the press as
smoothly as possible, so the cheese
will be of an even shape. Put it in
the press, and let it remain until the
press is wanted for another cheese,
or about 10 to "a hours. After TAX
ing from the press let it stand for
awhile, until the outside hardens AMI
then rub it with hot whey, butter or
other soft grease, rubbing and turn
ing thus daily until it is cured, which
will require some days.-The Home

COLD STORAGE OF WEALTH,
Wonderful Vault That New York Bill
liOnaires Use for Deposit of
Their Securities.

Many persons who have been
amazed during the past few days at
the holdings of stock certificates that
| represent millions of dollars by some
of the magnates of Wall street have
| more than once wondered where on
| earth the stacks of certificates are
| slowed away over night. Some of the
certificates are passed day after day
in their business deals from owners
to owners who have not strong I'M
| derground vaults. or do all firms on
| the street have vaults above the aver
| age kind, says New York CORE
spondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch.
| Be that as it may, from this time
| out the millions in bonds and certii-
Gates and other ''street" valuables,
as well as valuables owned elsewhere,
| in this city and other cities, are to
| be slowed away in a safe in a deposit
| company on Broad street which has
| just been put in commission. 1t is
the biggest safe in the world. In this
safe are already deposited more Sc
| curities than in any other one place
in the world. Wealth untold is repre-
| sented there by stocks and bonds,
| jewelry and silver plate. Here also
repose the wills of many of the big
geSt millionaires in America. So vast
are the financial interests concerned
in this safe that the board of direc-
tors in charge of it is made to repre-
sent every faction of the financial
world. John d. Rockefeller, j. p.
Morgan, the Vanderbilts, the Roth
schilds, the Harrimans, the Goulds
| and other large interests have per-
sonal Representatives on the board.
The door leading into the safe is a
tremendous piece of mechanism. 1t
is circular, eight feet in diameter and
"a inches thick. 1t weighs 81 tons.
The hinge of this big door weighs
1000 pounds. The door and vestibule
| weigh SO. tons, and yet so nicely is
the door balanced on ball bearings
that baby might close it with the
gentle pressure of it's tiny finger.
| The safe is SO feet long, 80 feet wide
| nine feet in height. The walls are
four feet thick. The interior is fitted
| up with 1000 boxes but 5000 more
| will be added as they are needed.
Formidable as the mechanical appli-
ances for safety are they are not de-
pended on altogether. Day and night
men guard the big door. They pace
back and forth like soldiers on guard.
Three times in the night a third
Waterman walks through the cor
ridor to see that the sentinels are at
tending to their duty. If ever bur-
glar gets anything out of the safe
Wall street will go out of business.

Corn and Bran for Calves.

Prof. Henry, of the Wisconsin sta
ton, recommends a combination of
two parts of bran and one part corn
meal for calves as good growing ra-
ton. Bran is fine muscle-forming
feed, but corn alone is too much in
clined as fat former. Thus the adj
visibility of the combination of the
two. 1t is expected in connection with
this that the calves are securing a good
supply of milk either direct from the
COW or skinned milk. This combina-
ton is so proportions that the calves
may be given what they will clean up
two or three times day. If this feed
is given properly the calves should
make excellent gains all the time they
are consuming milk. The calves should
grow thrifty and vigorous.

11s-inch steel axel, but it was found
impossible to keep it solid on so small
a shaft.
My wheel is in one corner of the
NOW and basement, being boarded i'll
with double cedar lumber. One end
of the aXel rests on a sill, the other
on bent. On the aXel extending in
to the NOW I made pulley six feet
in diameter, with belt (c) running
to pulley IA inches with 42-inch
pulley bolted to the 14-inch on same
shaft. AS an eight-foot pulley was
not far from the 14-inch one, there
was considerable trouble with the
belt slipping on the 14-inch pulley.
To remedy this, I put in a three
inch axel, got an old large rim wheel
from horse power and bolted a
cross piece on it, and finding true
center, this was bolted to wheel
keyed to the axel solid. 1 then used
a 1Hineh shaft with bull pinion
wheel on one end and wood pulley
on the other five feet in diameter.
The cutting box and grain crusher is
driven by this pulley and works splen-
didly. I thresh my peas by running
them through the cutting box. By
having tanning mill in the base
ment, I can clean them at the same
time. 1 can run a root cutter and
