Airing cream gives burner agoou umui, not sourlng the cream. ’ Feed succulent foods 5 cheese, and concentrated foods for bu . Cowa do better on mixed feed than when confined to a single ration. In selecting breeding animals look to form and perfection before large size. Sweet cream must be churned longer than sour, with a lower temperature. The more feed can be varied in caring for sheep, the better will be the results. Ensilage is good for old cows, being as succulent and as easily dlgested 9" Ensilage is good as succulent and grass. Incoming cows should have a limited diet of dry hay, with a. little bran, for a few weeks previous to calving. Experiment has shown that cows nup- plied with warm water to drink give one- third more milk than those allowed to drink water at its natural winter temper- atnre. A square, symmetrical cow is not always the best; dairy cow. The mllker is rather wedge-shaped. as seen from before, and has plenty of belly, with great hips and thighs. The average weight of carcass or Amer- ican cattle has been increased by ox er 33 per cent. of the weight of fiftv years ago, while the average weight of mllk is even greater. The magnitude of at the West is illuam one single range in a million acres. A that. Handle the farm horses with discretion at all times. and in early spring especially. Their muscles are then quite sofa, unless the animals have been well wintered. An Indiana farmer states that by ban- ishing slops from the pig pen and giving the swine clear, pure water. he secured firmer and more solid meat than he had ever raised before. ._. . ‘ saw». ......v_ ~---_- Stables and pens should be airy and well ventilated, but not drafby. Place a horse or other animal that is warm from exexclse, lna. shall where a draft will strike and injury must surely follow to the health of the beast. A Kansas paper tells of a. farmer who drcve into town with a large load of corn and a small crock of butter. He sold the corn for $3 and the butter for the same amount. One was raw material, and the other finished product. Great care should be exercised in chang- ing the stock to grass in spring. The fresh grass acts as a powerful cathartic, weakens the animals, especially the young stock. The first day's pasturage should not last over an hour. Give the pigs plenty of exerclse as soon as spring opens. The run of a clover field will do much for the animals. Do not try to fatten them until they have the frame-work constructed. In other words, let the fat go and see to the growth. The whey left after making cheese is poor food by itself, but if mixed with wheat middlings or bran its deficiencies are supplied and it is then good for store hogs. The acidity of the whey causes it. to be eaten with greater relish and also makes it more digestible. The indiscriminate use of tincture of arnlca for petty sprain and bruises of horses is scientifically condemned. It. has been demonstrated that if kept long in contact with afllcted surfaces arnica pro- duces heating and blistering, thus frequen- tly aggravating the complaint sought to be cured. Where only a few cows are kept the cream pot should have its contents stir- red daily. This is partly to expose the cream to the air to allow it to oxygenize This even ripening of cream will insure more and better butter, and with succu- lent feed will enable the owner of a dairy to make nearly or quite as good butter in winter as in summer, With cows long in milk, however, the butter in winter will come slowly. A wrlter, alluding to hog cholera, thinks that the disease may often be traced to bad treatment on the part of the farmer. The infamous plan of leaving the hog for months in wet, mud, sun, and bad weath- er, now and then without food, sometimes with shelter and then with none, feeding them whole corn in their own excrementa and urine, and generally supposing that nothing can happen to hogs, until they are sick and nearly dead, is one that needs reform, and that of a radical character. It is much more economical to prevent disease than to allow it to get in a herd and then try to cure it. Dairy and Stock Topics FOR THE FARMER. To pack butter for long keeping, first make perfectly good butter. Then pro- cure new white oak tubs tightly put to- gether. Scald them thoroughly and then steep them with clean brine and rinse them with clear water. Dust the inside with fine salt and immediately pack the butter in the tub as soon as it has been finally worked. Pack in a layer of about; four inches at once, and press it down firmly. leaving no air spaces. Drain off any water that may be pressed out of the butter, and sprinkle a little all: over the layer; phen pack down another, and so 1-" or; until the tub is full withln a. quarter of an inch of the top. Spread over the butter 9. clean muslir cloth previously soaked with brine and one inch larger each way than the top of the tub; press it down closely on to the butter, leaving no air under it ; and close to the edge of the tub ; cover it with fine dry salt, press- lug thls close to the tub all round, and burn the edge of the muslin over it ; then press down the cover and tighten the hoops or nail it firmly ; putting four bands average weight of carcass of Amer ‘ - - nr gnitude of the cattle business st is illustrated by the fact. that range in Wyoming comprises acres. A pretty large pasture, Packing Butter. hunter agood flavor, of tin over the edge to keep it tight and safe. The tub should be weighed just before the butter is put in and the wenght, with one pound added for salt, should be marked on the cover. It is weighed again when finished sud the weight then is marked over the other figures ; the dif- ference is the net weight of the butter. The disease commonly known as “ hol- low horn." has no immediate connection 1 with the horns, as animals without horns manifest the same symptoms. The dis- ease in question is the result of inflamma- tion extending from the mucous mem. brane lining the nostrils, into the sinuses of the skull and home, there being direct communication between these parts. De- bility, improper and insuificient food, ex- posure, and all other causes that tend to weaken the system, may give rise to this condition. The treatment must then be such as to counteract this deficiency, and should consist mainly of good nursing. Keep the animal in dry, warm, well Ven- tilated quarters, pay particular attention to carding and brushing, give nourishing food, and a little physio, if necessary. Rub the spine frequently. Boxing the horns is useless and barbarous, and is to be placed in the same category with cut- ting of the tall as a remedy for the “ Wolf,” as still practised by the ignorant. Russian Justice. The case of a Mr. Ponomarafi" illus- trates most clearly how little even inno- cence may avail to save a man in Russia from the clutches of the imperial inquisi- tose. In 1874 Mr. Ponomarefl', a student in the Saratoy Seminary, was taken into custody on a charge of belonging to a se- cret society. Among the papers of one of the leaders of the movement, Voinaral- ekl, had been found a. ticket on which “ Independent Firing.” Apropos of our Russo-Afghan difficulty, 3. good story is told of the last Afghan war. At one of the battles the British line, represented by one English regiment, some artillery, and some native corps, was assailed by hordes of “ Ghezis,” who came down fast and furious. The firing was of the nature known as independent, very much so indeed for the times, and our officers were moving about striving to maintain discipline. Echeloued some- what to the right rear of the British regi- ment, one of the native battalions was also tiring at the advancing foe, now close at hand, and their buileta seemed to pass uncomfortably near our men. Suddenly ‘ an cflicer saw one of his soldiers turn right round and deliberately fire into the native bittelion. “ What the deuce are you about, man '2 ” said the officer ; “ you’re firing right into our own men 1 ” “ Well, sir," raid the man, not in the least put out, and continuing firing, “ the beggars is avfiring into us.” Ivy. Land and Water says the common be- lief that ivy trained against the walla of a. dwelling house produces damp wall and ‘ general unhealthiness is fallacious . The very opposite is the case. If one will carefully examine an ivy-clad wall after a shower of rain, he will notice that. while the overlapping leaves have con- dncbed the water from point to point un- til it has reached the ground the well be- neath is perfectly dry and dusty. More than this, the shoots which force their way into every crevice of the structure which will afford a firm hold act; like suckers in drawing out any particles of moisture for their own nourishment. The ivy, in fact acts like a greatcoat keeping the house from wet and warm. One more virtue it: has in giving to the ‘ ugliest structure an evergreen beauty. Gospel is not Free. The strange custom of selling the rever- sion of church livings in England still holds. These livings number about twelve thousand in all, about onelhalf of them belonging to the crown or to the church and the other half to private persons. The person owning a church living has a right to appoint a successor on the death or removal of an incumbent, and this power of appointment called an advowson, is still a marketable commodity, to be bought and sold in the auction-room. Englishpapers give accounts of these sales under such aheading as this, which ap- pears in a late number of the London Telegraph: “Advowsons going cheap." At the sale the age of the incumbent is mentioned and considered, and the buyer beforehand calculates his chances of long or short life, just as the gentlemen in the navy keep lists of superior officers which they frequently consult to note their changes of promotion. Hollow Horn. It Should be Generally Known that the multitude of diseases of a scro- tnlous nature generally proceed froma torpid condition of the liver. The blood becomes impure because the liver does not act properly and work of! the poison from the system, and the certain results are blotohes. pimples, eruptions, swell- ings, tumors, ulcers, and kindred affec- tions. or settling upon the lungs and poisoning their delicate tissues, until ul- ceration, breaking down, and consump- tion is established. Dr. Pierce’s “ Gold- en Medical Diseovery" will, by acting upon the liver and purifying the blood, cure all these diseases. “1 see your wife’s back,” said Joe P: masus to John Peene, whose better half has been on a visit to Hastings. “Well,” said Penne, “ If you see anything on my wife's back that ain’t. paid for, just men- tion i‘."
