James Bateman is slowly recovering
from pneumonia. He is able to get
out of doors in pleasant weather.
The snow of April and the cold of
April was just what had been ex-
pected by many. The temperature
was not abnormally low for the season.
1t was more the contrast from the alb
normally warm weather that made the
change so much felt. The lowest
temperature was % degrees, or 10 be-
low freezing. This, with excessive
moisture near the ground unfavora BILE
conditions for freezing. How much
damage was done cannot be estimated
yet. Peaches, plums and cherries were
the most advanced and would natural
ly receive the most injury. Quite
number had their tobacco beds Sown
others were expecting to do on Mon
day but postponed it for few days.

The people of this great agricultural
town purchase, annually, more than
10, 900 pounds Of butter which is not
made in Newtown This estimate is
based upon inquiries made at the sew
eral stores in town where butter is re-
tailed to consumers. We make no &C
in, but simply ask how much Of the ar
ticle is imported from Bridgewater,
Bridgeport, New Haven and other
towns to supply the trade.
How much butter is made In New
town and sold outside the town is an
other matter. But the question in my
mind is; why do we have to buy 10, 1000
pounds, more or less, of one Of the sta
pie articles of food, and pay transpor-
tation on the same, each year, depend
ing on the general market, or upon
dairymen in surrounding towns, when
we have one Of the finest agricultural
tracts of country in the world, and our
farmers are in a chronic state of COM
planning that they can scarcely get a
living? What is the actual state of the
case? If it pays in few instances to
invest in separatOrs, and the necessary
adiunctS for the scientific production
of butter, to be carried out of town to
market at a good price the year
through, as we are assured that it does,
why then will it not pay to make the
same quality of the article to supply
the market at home? Is it the fault
of the merchants, or the fault of the
farmers, or is it the fault of the con.
sumers of butter, or is it all right just
as it is? Is it economy to sell milk at
81 cents per quart and ship it to New
Haven, and then pay 81 cents per
pound for the butter made out of it:
The point of supreme interest is that
we want 900 pounds Of good butter
each year, right here in town, and we
have hard work to get it. We have tc
take such as comes to hand, good, bad
or Indifferent. For instance, l use
more than 100 pounds of butter pei
year, and should be more than glad tt

BUILD UP YOUR OWN DAIRY.
Advice For the Farmer Who Wants
to Produce Milk and Butter.

Advice For the Farmer Who Wants
to Produce Milk and Butter.
The farmer who keeps cows to pro-
duce milk or butter needs dairy COW.
If beef is the object in view he wants
an entirely different COW. 1t is impos-
sible for him to produce both success
fully and with profit from the same
animal
Often / have this question asked me
by our patrons: Where can get cows
giving large quantity of rich milk p
There are two ways of getting such
animals-one by purchasing, the other
by growing them yourself. A man who
starts out to buy high class dairy cattle
will soon learn that the man who I'M
derstands his business is not selling his
best cows until their days of usefulness
are past.
When a man offers to sell a COW that
promises to be a good mixer for any
reasonable price the buyer is apt to
discover after he purchases her that
she deceives her looks and that she has
some secret fault which will show itself
later on.
Dairymen who are excellent judges
of COWS will sometimes get hold of
first class animals; but, as rule, they
will buy them from men who are not
acquainted with their business and
with whom the possession of COW of
this kind is an accident. Even then
only few of these cows will come up
to his requirements or give anything
like the satisfaction of those that he
might raise himself, and think that
when he counts the time and money
that he spends in experimenting in this
way he will come to the conclusion that
the best way for the dairy farmer to
improve the quality of the herd is
raising his own stock. 1t does not take
so many years to grow up herd in
this way as one might suppose.
In raising up a herd himself there
are several advantages to be derived,
the principal one of which is that he
is able to control the breeding. Milk
ing qualities are hereditary, and the
heifer whose sire's dam and grandam
are good mixers will be a good mixer
also.
In raising calves for the dairy al
ways feed for milk instead of beef, and
the heifer intended for the dairy should
not have the same treatment in feeding
as the heifer intended for calf produc-
ton only. The dairy COW is better as a
lean animal than as fat one, and she
should be kept during her youth in
such way that she will not lay the
product Of her food on her ribs, but
put it in the pail.-Dairy and Cream
cry.

Travelled a great deal through the west
and believe I understand conditions
there. The Gradual increase in the
value of New England farms is simply
due to the fact that people are just be-
ginning to find out the many advan-
tages these eastern farms possess. So

Orange and Txumanat.

In the Otaheite orange. q dwarf form
of the common sweet orange, Citrus
sinensis. and the kumquat, Citrus ia
ponica. both of comparatively recent
introduction to American culture, we
have two handsome and practicable
plants for the window or small green
house. The Otaheite orange is now
we'll known and is extensively grown.
In pot culture it makes a sturdy little
bush with glossy green leaves and little
bright yellow oranges, which hang on
with great persistency for several
months after they have colored up.
They are edible, but of low quality.
The culture is very simple, a fruiting
plant growing well for several seasons
in a five or six inch pot. 1t is not
unusual for little plants in two or
three inch pots to flower and mature
fruits, but under ordinary window con-
ditions such small receptacles cannot
be kept sufficiently moist. A good
compact soil, containing some crushed
or ground bones, suits these oranges
very well. For the rest they like
plenty of sunlight and a moderately
warm situation.

Cattle Men kicking.

The cattle men of the far west are
kicking vigorously over Chief Coburn's
official order that horned cattle at the
worlds fair cattle show must be re
ceived by a halter. The cattle men say
if they can't exhibit range cattle they
have nothing to exhibit. They also
want premiums for cattle in car load
lots, and this has also been vetoed by
the fair management on the ground
that it will not be a fat stock show
where grades will compete, but a show
which will include pure bred stock Of
every known breed. and that there will
be no facilities for such an exhibit as
the range cattle men desire. The cattle
men of Texas south of the quarantine
line are rebellious over their exclusion
from the south on account Of the dan
ger of splenetic fever. The disgruntled
cattle men say that If they can get re
dress no other way they will appeal
the case to the president.-Farm and

HARDY BULBS.
Good Kinds For Open Ground Plant
ing In the Autumn.

Good Kinds For Open Ground Plant
ing In the Autumn.
/, September is the best time for plant
ing tulips, but as the beds are usually
occupied at this time planting will have
to be postponed till October or Novem-
Der. For garden culture the single early
tulips are best. There are early double
Powered varieties. Some prefer the dou-
bic, as their flowers last longer. Late
tulips are gorgeous, but occupy the beds
too long in spring. Tulips are quite
hardy, but are benefited by winter
mulch. For simple designs in colors
they are the most brilliant in effect of
all bulbs. Borders, lines and masses of
single colors or groups of mixed colors
which harmonic are always in order
and pleasing.
The crocus is useful as a border
plant for other beds, for small groups
ton and we'll drained SOIL Two kinds
are commonly cultivated One is the
autumn crocus &C. sativus), the other is
the spring towering &C. versicolor). The
latter is the more popular. The bulbs
should be planted as early as possible
and not later than the LIST of October if
it can be avoided.
SnoWdrops appear almost before the
snow is gone. When once planted they
may remain for years. Plant thick in
groups or masses in the border or scat
ter them about the lawns. September
or October is the proper season.
Chionodoxa are spikes of intense blue
flowers coming with the snowdrops
and lasting a long time in perfection.
Plant like snowdrops, as early in the
ley's Garden Making.

1t would surprise some people to
learn how few farmers strain the milk
they send to the creamery, says Cream

combination of separator, aerator, bad

which is true to a certain extent. But
no separator can remove impurities
which have been dissolved in milk.
