STILL USE DASHER CHURNs.
Even in this Day Of Creameries, But
ter Is Made In the Good Old
Fashioned Way,

The chances are ten to one or better
that the butter you buy at the grocery
store now was made in a creamery, for
the great bulk of the butter consumed
in this country is made in milk estab-
lishments. But there is still some but
ter made by hand, and I'VE still sell
churns right along"
The greater number of the individ-
ual churns now sold, said a churn
manufacturer in Chicago recently, in
speaking of the growth of the cream
cry business, are Of the cylinder type,
operated by crank, turning within
the churn wheel with paddles, some
times like the paddlewheel of a steam
boat; but we still sell as well, churns
of the old-fashioned type, such as our
grandmothers used, and such as their
grandmothers used before them.
might add that the old-fashioned
dasher churn is still, as it has always
been, painted blue.
Who still buys these old styles hand
churns in the day of machine-made
butter? Why, so to speak, the Oldest
people, and the most modern, too.
They are bought by small farmers
keeping only one or a few COWS, who
naturally continue to make their own

It will be better and a saving Of time
if the timber after being cut up for
the gates is given a couple Of coats of
paint before being put together After
the gate is completed and hung, it can
be given a final coat. The first or
printing coat should be very thin; in
fact, may be nearly all raw linseed oil.
The second and last coats will. of
course, be little thicker, and in order
to dry hard, and with a little gloss,
should contain a small quantity of tur-
pentine and boiled oil. While tastes
may differ as to color, results have
shown that white seems to give the
most satisfaction, while the iron work
painted black will make a slight con-
trast, adding to the improved appear
ance of the gateway.

A SUBSTANTIAL ROAD GATE.

( the country to use posts made of
ron or concrete, even as is now done
n many places.
An essential feature of a rail fence
rs a comparatively short panel, but
now that wire is, in the majority of
cases, taking the place of the rail- it
Ais questionable whether as many posts
are necessary as was the case when
rail were used. Recent tests were made
lat an English experiment station to de-
termine upon the best method of con-
Tructing fence. One point considered
was whether a fence constructed with
a dropper is as efficient and durable
as one constructed entirely with posts.
A second point under consideration was
the minimum number of posts required
In the construction of an efficient and
durable fence when choppers are used
and the character of the dropper re-
uuired for best results. The dropper Is
thin vertical brace used to strengthen
the stretch of wire between posts. AS
metal is admittedly more durable than
wood, an endeavor was made to obtain
n suitable rigid metal dropper, but with
out success.
NOTCH THE CORNER POSTS LOW.
An error that farmers sometimes
make in erecting fence is that they
place. the corner supports or struts too
near the top of the post, and conse-
quently at too great an.angle with the
line Of the fence, so that when the wires
are stretched tightly the post is pulled
out of the ground, Notwithstanding
4 that huge powders are piled against
the post or hung on it, in an endeavo1
to keep 1t in the ground. One fence
= which has been found to prove very
satisfactory consists of square posts
and top rail- with three or four rows
of plain wire fastened on, the outside
edges OF the post, instead of through
/ holes bored in the uprights. To these
wires is fastened ordinary poultry net
ting with, say, an inch and a-half o.
two.inch mesh. This netting may b.
strained very tight and will lie as fla
as q board, the appearance Of the fence
being thereby greatly improved.
While the use of barb-wire in thu
construction of fences is regretted, ow
ing to the injury which it sometime
infiicts upon the live stock, there is NJ
doubt that its employment under Ger
tain conditions prolongs the life of
fence, lettering stock from rubbing
against it and unduly straining tn
plain wires. 1t has been argued tina
stock soon get to understand how dan

TOE, THE INDIAN DOG.

From Sunset.
did he ever make friends with the
battery boys?"
NO." said Sergeant Wright, che new
er did. understand dogs, and l know
that our dog Joe died of a broken heart
at Fort Stevens, at the mouth of the
Columbia, and we gave him a sort OF
informal military funeral and buried
him where the moaning of the bar is
always heard.
There had been a battle near the
Yellowstone, and the Nez Perces had
gradually had to give way and retreat
as the dusk drew down to hide the
damage of the day. But all the war
riors did not go. Among the rocks up
the canon, nine of them lay In one
heap, seven in another, at rest at last
Four dogs were there doing the Casa
blanca act, and soldier lassoed one
of them in form and color like a fox
and brought him into camp.
Joe was the name given him. and
day after day he was led by some men,
Der of the company until the long fif-
teen-hundred-mile march was ended
He tolerated the portion of the rations
handed him, but never smiled in re-
turn, and merely ate to live. He con-
formed to constituted authority as a
matter of common sense, and on the
long steamboat trip down the Missouri
to Omaha, across by rail to the Pacific
and up the coast to Oregon, he was the
same dignified dog, always with an cal
askance, anticipating the footstep o.
his Indian comrade.
But it never came.
No soldier had learned to love him
but all respected him for fidelity to hi:
dead master.
