has charge of the cooking and the

usually about every three days. Where
n large number OF bands are owned
by one man. he usually hires one or
two foremen. who supcrintend the

during the summer. finding out the
condition of the ranges and directing
the sheep.herders rs TO where their
boundary lines lie and the routes they
wish them to take.
The class of men which were In de.
mand for herding the sheep were
known as Basques or "Bascos." They
come from the Pyrennees Mountains,
and are designated French or Spanish
Basques. according to the side OF the
mountains in which they lived. They
naturally take to the life of solitude.
as they and their ancestors have been
employed in similar occupation in
the Pyrennees Mountains for many
years past. The wages paid them are
from $50 to $40 month, with board.
Their savings are often spent in
trip to their homes in Europe. where
they live life OF ease for one or two
years and then return to America to
herd sheep again. Italians, Americans
and other nationalities are sometimes
employed, but they are rarely as con.
tented and successful as the BASQUE.

Cheese and Butter Makino.

A good many cheese factories are
now being equipped with butter max.
ing machinery, SO that they can make
cheese In the summer and buttcr In
the winter and thus take the farm.
ers' milk the year round. One OF the
objections to cheese factories In some
localities is the fact that they run
for only six months In the year and
the farmer Is left without a market
for his milk during the rest OF the
year. BY this process also the farmer
has to have nll of his cows calve In
the spring SO that he may get rs big
a flow of milk as possible during the
months when he can sell 1t. 1t Is
much more to the interest OF the
farmer to have some of his cows
calve in the fall. In the nrst place hts
calves can then have the skimmilk
at an age when milk in some form
must be supplied to them. Later they
can live on pasture grasses. The man
that produces milk for the summer
cheese factory only has none for his
calves. and the whey is poor substi.
tute. All the year dairyins must take
the place OF the summer method IL
we are to have our dairy localities
centers OF industry and prosperity.

The receipts OF butter at Chicago
this summer have been ETcltcr than
dufin. any previous summer for Ecy'
crai years at least. From tho iirst OF
May Ia tho middle OF August there
were received over 652 900 tubs. which
Is about 10000 tubs In excess OF what
was received during the same period
last year. During the summer OF 1895

Was considered phenomenal at that

this year the prices have held up. due
largely to the rapid growth In popu.

To Prevent Blackleq.

A report of the Missouri State
Board of Agriculture says: The most
important thing in connection with
the prevention of backles is to burn
the carcasses of the calves that die
Of the disease. If this is done, the
possibility OF the distribution OF the
germs from such carcasses Is absolute.
ly prevented. Burying the carcasses
deeply Is recommended where 1t Is
impossible to get fuel to burn them.
II cattlemen will make a practice of
burning the carcasses Of all animals
that die OF contagious diseases It will
do a great amount of good toward
eradicating the diseases. The next
important step by way of prevention
of blaclileg is to vaccinate all suscep-
tible cattle. Vaccine for the preven.
ton of blackleg has given the greatest
satisfaction wherever it has been
used. 1t cannot be too highly recon-
mended and its use Is never neglected
by progressive cattlemen. As rule
cattle between six and eighteen
months of age are the ones that die of
blackleg, yet the disease is very com.
mon in younger cattle. 1t seldom
occurs in cattle over two years old.

Treatment for Heaves.

In accordance with the request OF
a reader OF the Farmers Review we
quote the advice for treatment of
heavcs from two writer's:
Prof. ID. Mcintosh: Feed so as not
to overload the stomach: allow a lit.
tie hay to be eaten first, then give
water and then oats. Never feed more
than twelve to fourteen pounds OF
hay per day and fifteen pounds of
oats. Boiled naxseed mixed with a
els regular, besides being very nutri.
tious. Sulphate of iron, four ounces: I:
nitrate of potassium. four ounces; nux
vomica, two ounces; divided into
twsnty.four doses, and one given ev-
cry night in bran mash, is very use.
full. After this quantity has been
given, skip two or three weeks and
repeat. One ounce OF Fowler's solu-
ton of arsenic given every night in
small bran mash, when the animal Is
at work in the spring. is very good
and often enables an animal to do a
good days work, which 1t could not do
except for the arsenic. This can
be continued for a month to six weeks
without any danger to the animal.
Then stop for few weeks or as long
as the animal can do without 1t, and
when the breathing becomes difficult
resume again and so on. have treat.
ed horses in this way and they would
do their work with ease for years.
Jonathan Periam: Treatment with
n view to permanent cure is gener.
ally not successful. However the all.
ment may be greatly ameliorated by
a strict attention to the diet, which
should be the reverse of that which
has hitherto been given. Give nutri.
tive food of small bulk and best quail.
ity, such as finely-cut wild hay mixed
with ground oats and corn, bran and
small quantity of ground oil-cake
or haxseed meal, and slightly mois-
tened. In summer give green or sue
culent food instead Of hay, and in
winter daily allowances of sliced
carrots and other roots. Such horses
should never be fed or watered i'm.
mediately before use, and they should
be used only for slow and easy work.

1t does not pay to employ poor
buttermaker when / good buttermaker
can be secured at n little advance in
the salary. Get a competent man at
all hazards. Many buttermaking
establishment loses more by employ
ing a poor buttermaker than 1t saves
in his salary. In the first place, poor
butter will not long continue to bring
a good price. In the second place. the
incompetent man will lose butterfat
and never know it, and this butter-fat
lost in the course of year will ag.
gregate n very large sum. Then too,
the buttermaker that is not exper-
fenced with machinery will destroy
expensive machines and never mis-.
trust that his ignorance is the cause
of it. He will blame the company
that makes the machines. The more
buttermaking becomes a science the
more educated must the buttermaker

Dairy Schools,

The agricultural colleges OF the
country are every year giving more
and more attention to their dairy
schools. We believe that as many
young men and women as possible.
that are interested in dairying, should
attend these schools. The entrance
is not, however, as easy as 1t was.
Some of tho dairy schools make the
rule that the students must have had
at least six months experience in n
creamery or cheese factory. This rule
has been made because in the past 1t
has been found that the students that
make the most progress and are the
best satisfied with the schools are
those that have had such experience.
We think, however, that this may be
carried too far. We wait good farm
buttermakers as well az good cream
cry buttcrmakers and good cheese.
makers.
