European Soil in America.


One Of TIE London newspapers has
made the discovery that rot only is
this country stealing their trade, but
that millions Of tons Of British soil
have beer taken away and dumped
around New York. The exports from
this country are Sufficient to fill all
ships Oh the outwarl-cound voyage,
but freGuen tly they have to come back
in ballast. This ballast is usually dirt
and stores. Not long ago 1000 tons
Of Scottish soil was brought to New
York for ballast, and scarcely week
passes without some vessel bringing
in such ballast. 1t is usually unload
ed in lighters and towed to some
dumping ground, where it serves the
useful purpose of contributing to
make land. 1t Is, estimated that in
recent years many millions Of tons of
European soil have been brought here
and dumped around New York in this
fashion.-New York Sun.

DplRY NOTES.

Glover is better than timothy for
cows.
Regularity in feeding and milking is
Important.
To get all Of the butter the cream
must be uniformly ripened.
In milking squeeze the teats just
hard enough to get the milk.
Cows that are good producers of
rich milk must he good consumers.
lii order to secure rich milk start
with rich COW and feed her rich
faeds.
In small Quantities cottonsecd meal
issa good feed, but in excess it in.
iaaes the butter.
Kicking Il COW that is lying down
may make her get up moro quickly,
but it will not induce her TO give any
paere milk,
If rock salt is kept in the yard where
the COWS c:;:l lick it every day, there
Is no danger that they Will get too
mich at once.
One Of the most important coadi-
t,oas; CT ciiurni:2g is tie temperature Of
tEe cream. No guess should be allowed,
+ but a good thermometer used.
