sress voted $l.5OO,OOO in the deficiency

$1.41O,OOO has been covered back into
the treasury as the unexpended balance
Of that constitutional appropriation.

Alt. my boy, l fear you have been
lamhasting a mares nest filled with hor-
nets, as you will find out when the old
soldiers are aroused.
l see that in our foreign relations you
favor a sort Of spineless Monroe doctrine
that would invite every European power
to annex American territory without any
real opposition from Uncle Sam. Steve
says the sturdy miners of West Virginia
won't stand for any such pusillanimous
policy. They believe with Dick Olney
that on this continent the will of the
American people is sovereign and its fla
law. without consent of English King.

year before Tilden was not elected to re-
form them, though you seem to think he
was. You appear to have forgotten that
this country has nearly doubled in popu-
lation and trebled in wealth. business
and national importance since 1875. In

NOTES FOR BUTTER MAKERS
To Secure Satisfactory Results Cows
Must Be Well Fed and Utensils
Kept Clean.

Keep dairy cow in a good pasture.
give them plenty Of pure water to
drink; give them plenty of pea vine
and other nutritious hays, and about
five pounds of cottonseed meal per day.
Keep the COW and everything used
in the dairy clean.
Strain the milk through two thick
nesses of cheese cloth as soon as
MIXED. Skim by means of a a
tor. Put the cream into a r%efrigera-
tor where the temperature is as de-
grees. When the cream is sufficiently
sour, strain through a wire-gauze
strainer into a barrel or box churn,
Add sufficient butter color to give the
butter a nice straw color. Use a dairy
thermometer at all times and have the
temperature of the cream at about Sc
degrees in the summer and SO degrees
in the winter. Do not fill the churn
over one-third full. Revolve the churn
crank just fast enough to cause the
cream to fall from one side of the
churn to the other with full force.
Stop the churn as soon as the butter
particles are about the size of wheat
kernels. Draw off the butter milk and
wash the butter first in cold brine and
then in cold clear water. Remove the
butter from the churn, add an ounce
of salt for every pound and work un-
til the salt is evenly distributed

Excitement Means Loss

The more one studies the nervous
system of the COW the more does one
become impressed with the serious
danger and loss which result from ex-
citing it. The great difference in both
yield and test of the milk which is OBJ
tanned after the COWS have been fright
ened or excited or hurried has been
repeatedly proved and may be easily
demonstrated by anyone having ac-
cess to scales and a Babcock tester.
The difference in the test for butter
fat is even more noticeable than the
difference in the weight of the milk:
and the annual loss from the mistreat-
ment of a whole herd of cows car be
better imagined than described

DAIRY HELP FAIRLY.
Employers Willing to Do the Square
Thing Can Always Get Re-
liable Assistants.

In an address to Missouri dairvmen.
Robert Pethbridge said: Successful
dairy1ng cannot be carried on where
labor is short, or where the hired help
is lacking. In my travels l find this
to be a great complaint among dairy
men that they cannot get help, but /
am sure it is mostly their own fault.
for l "a name many successful dairy
men who have no difficulty in thai line,
because their help is treated in a
proper and business-like manner, such
as fair wages, regular hours and lib.
eral treatment. He must compare the
dairy help with the city laborer in
wages; they will vary in different
parts OF the country in hours of la
Dor; the city man has his ten hours
daily and pay for overtime, whereas
the country man as a rule works
longer hours and no pay for overtime.
This is n of the great objections of
the man working on the farm, for /
nave known by experience that many
a day | have been at work Ia hours
in the field with a team and previous
to that did the milking and feeding
OF ten cows and four horses, and then
at night have to do the same thing
again, when l ought to have been
studying or taking some recreation 10
improve my mind and body, to render
it better fit for the duties of the NOR
row. Liberal treatment will do more
to bring employer and employed to-
gether, than wages. The giving of a
cottage with a garden patch and al
lowing them to keep a cow for the use
Of the children in addition to the
weekly wage gives the country en-
ployer the advantage over the city and
more work can be accomplished and
your mar can be relied on, which is
very important. In the hiring of la
Dor, there are many good dairy hands
coming from England, Ireland, Ger
many and Scandinavian countries, who
are glad to get a job when they arrive
In New York, and they naturally seek
an employment agency, and those who
wish to hire this class can make an
p%lication, and they will not be disap-
pointed if they are willing to do the
fair thing.

THE CARE OF FARM MILK.
Some Valuable Suggestions That Are
Worth Carrying Out During
the Coming Summer.

Are the patrons of butter and cheese
factories prepared to cool their milk
during the coming summer? Don't ex-
pect that running it over some aerator,
where the only cooling it gets is from
the air, will do much good. In cool
weather it will. In warn weather such
treatment will do more harm than good.
Exposing warm milk to large tin sur
faces is a fruitful medium for contain
nation with germ life. In other words.
| am sure that air contact alone is Of
no value, and may be positively harm
full. Where a sudden lowering of the
temperature takes place when exposed
to the air results may be eminently sat
isfactory, even though germs may be
present, the low temperature retarding
their development. If the aerator is
kept scrupulously clean-and, by the
way, it is one Of the utensils that gets
the least care-and the operation is per-
formed in a pure, clean atmosphere, I
have no protest to make; but, as erdi-
narily done, in close proximity to a sta
BILE, near the corner of a barn where
there is an air current carrying germ
laden dust, there is danger of contain
i%nation, and a protest is necessary.
There is one safe, sure way to care for
highs milk where hauling is done once
a DAY. Use 4O-quart cans, standing them
in ice water Immediately after the milk
is drawn, occasionally stirring until the
milk is cooled to go degrees. I will guar
antee, if sufficient care is exercised In
milking and in strainers, and if pals
are clean, that this milk will make good
butter or cheese.
This old notion that milk had an an
imal odor or cowy flavor has been buried
since farmers have come to practice
cleanliness in milking and to keep the
COW manure out of the milk pail.-H. E.
Cook, in N. Y. Tribune-Farmer.

vic diseases have no idea that their
trouble is due to catarrh. The majority
of the people thinkt that catarrh is dis
ease confined to the head alone.
This is not true. Catarrh is liable to-
attack any organ of the body; throat,
bronchial tubes. lungs, stomach, kid
neys and especially the pelvic organs.
Many a woman has made this dis

Ensilage Milk and Butter

Experts declare that milk made from
ensilage has all the qualities Of milk
and butter made out of green grass.
This is saying much in favor of en-
silage as a feed. One butter-buyer da-
scribes the flavor resulting from the
feeding of good ensilage as a fine
grassy flavor such as is desired by the
users of fancy butter. We hope that
u experimenters will give us more
on this subject, as the matter of good
and cheap feed for the dairy COW and
