THE farmers in the neighborhood
of Farmington, Conn., furnished the
creamery at thut place lust year, with
nearly a million HIKI a half quarts of j
milk, for which they received about
three and a quarter cents per quart.
They seem to find it a profitable busi- j
ness even at this low price, for ac
cording to the Connecticut Farmer,
"each customer keeps more cows each
| year and the quality of the stock has
liecn greatly improved." We note,
in passing, that at this creamery, the
milk averaged n pound of butler to
ten quarts.
Wv. do our readers a kindness
when we suggest that they send a
card to the Fur a I Sew York* r, 34
i'ark How, New York, asking for a
| specimen number, or for the supple
ment, which will le sent free, and
jiostage prepaid. Of the many ja
|erH published in the interests of
American farming which teach our
table regularly, we know none Utter,
and but few, very fewr, so good as
the Fuml.
Prevention and Treatment of Milk
Fever.
1 Sftlloßtl J ••!
One of the l>cst methods of pre
venting milk fever, is to feed the
cow, several weeks to several months
before calving, according to its dan
, ger—if in winter, on ordinary dry
hay only, with n quart or so ol wheat
bran, night and morning, to keep the
bowels O|H.'II ; if in summer, let her
run on poor pasture, and at all times
have a large lump of Liverpool rock
! salt, to lick nt pleasure. If the cow
lias been dried off a couple of months
before due to calve, watch the ap
proach ol parturition, and if the rag
shows extra full, then U-gin to draw
a small quantity of inilk from it two
: weeks or less U-fore Iter time, and in
] crease this, according to the fullness
: of the hag, till the calf is dropjs d ;
then milk her clean alter the calf has
sucked, at three equal intervals of
every twenty-four hours. In the
meanwhile, do not increase her feed
for a month or more till all danger of
fever is passed. If the cow lias con
tinued to give milk up to within a
few days of the lime for her to calve,
as is sometimes the ease, then pci
haps it will not he necessary to milk
her till after calving. Keep her dry
and sheltered Irom storms mid from
excessive c |<l or hen'. See that the
water she diinks is pure, and that
she has all she wishes to take, at
ient three times |s-r day. Never let
I this water get icy cold, and after
: calving gii'u it rhghtly warm for a
few day*.
A* soon n affected, if not aircady
in a rumfurulilc stable, put tin* cow
into one, litter tin; flimr well, and
always keep this dry and clean. One
of the inol simple and effectual pre
scriptions for tin* disease in half a
| round of Kpsom salt* dissolved in
three or four quarts of warm water,
mixed with two table-s|>oon*ful* of
sweet spirit* of nitre. Wet tip a
small feed of Wheat liran with this.
If the cow will not lake it no, then
put the salts and nitre solution into
a strong necked Imttic, trice up her
head and |our it down the throat.
Hr|icat tins every morning till cured.
This simple remedy rarely fails, even
in the worst cases, if all the aliove
directions are carefully followed.
Hub the hag with lard, mixed with
the last sttippings, every lime the
cow is milkf*. This renders the hag
soft and pliable, and prevents the
tnilk from i nking in it.
I'INC sawdust makes the tiest and
cleanest of litter, but Is apt to make
the manure of horses bedded with it
too dry and liable to burn and s|>oil.
It is also too dry for use on light
soils, although it is useful on clay to
loosen it. llnutwood sawdust rots
sooner llisn pine, and is of more
value for bedding. For cows saw
dust is excellent litter, absorbing the
water and causing the manure to lie
more pulverulent and dryer. A a it
holds moisture well it is not objec
tionable on sandy soila, as is some
time* supposed. Where sawdust can
lie produced cheaply it serves an ex
cellent purpose, and should not bo
neglected as one of the aourcea from
which a supply of litter can Ire pro
cured and the manure heap increased.
Fp* general purposes on the farm
castor oil, with a little kerosene ad
ded, la the heat lubricator and pre
server. For saws, mowers, buggies,
and the like, thia mixture furnishes
more body with less gum than other
oils. The amount of kerosene, if
any, to be added must tw governed
by the pur|>oac for which It is de
signed.
llow Butter May be Bpoilod.
LIT!RNI V./FKR
Good butter may !• spoiled in
churning. Overchurning ruins the
texture and changes lire proper waxi
neH to a disagreeable, sticky greasi-
IK'HK. This is the more easily done
iii a churn with revolving dashes,
which ili press the butter against
the sides of the churn and squeeze
and rub it until it is spoiled. Too
long churning spoils the quality by
the oxidation of the butter ami the
premature formation of strong flavor
ed acids in it, the full presence of
which we call rancidity. It may be
spoiled by churning at too high a
temperature, by which it is made
soft and oily, and of a greasy texture
and flavor. No subsequent treat
ment esn remedy this error. It may
be spoiled before the cream reaches
the churn 113- keeping it too long, or
what is practically the same, by
keeping it in too warm H place; SO
degrees is about the right tempera
ture if cream is kept a week ; if it is
kept at fig degrees, three days are
long enough. White specks are pro
duced in butter by over-churning, or
by having the cream too sour. Kither
of these faults produces curd in the
milk, and the small (lakes of this can
not be washed out of the butter.
Milk from a cow in ill health, and
that is acid when drawn, will pro
duce spceky butter. So with the use
of salt containing particles of lime,
which unite with the butter and fortn
insoluble lime soap. White specks
are covered up to a large extent by
using good coloring, which is made
of oil as the solvent, liut this use
of a coloring, being to disguise a
fault, and to add an undeserved vir
tue, is worthy of denunciation.

Tlie boason is nearly on uh for tlie
apjitaraiice ot young lambs. They
•tie har^i, lougii little thingi wbeii
' tliey are a few weeks old. but not
hardy enough to # do without the fon
j u.'ri" 0 care of the farmer. When the
j ewes are about to come in they should
l>e sheltered to prevent exposure, fur
a few hours drenching with cold rain
at that |K-riod not only iinpa .s the
vitality of the mothers so much need
ed then, but also weakens the coming
lambs, and the detriment thus inflict
ed on mo.hers and offspring shows
its elfrcl on the lalUr throughout
! their whole existence. Young lami>*
i are extremely sensible to moisture
and cold at birth, and often die with,

j they can pass through this ordeal <d

I their ehances ~f |,( e ; ir c favorable
afterward. Nearly all the young
lambs on nmny farms arc dropped in

I pasture to carry them with thi ir
i mothers to some warui place; but
this habit ih wrong. They should
not lie ex | Kie I a minute. The dam

The Is of trcspnss as it t xista in
; this Male i < ins to In- little uiel, r.
stood, or. if undenitood, little olb
served. fs|Mirl*men, fishermen and
i gunners, nine tunes out of ten, enter
| ujKin a farmer's premises as confi.
j denUy as if tliey had n right to do so.
The law gives no man permission to
; enter upon the prt raises of snot',it r
without the cuigw-nl of the owner.
When he tloes so lie becomes a Iris
-1 passer, and as such he must vacate
the premises the moment he is re
quested to do so by the owner, and
he must make no unnecessary dt lay
in doing so either ; he need not run,
hot he dare not loiter. 1f he refuses,
then the proprietor is nulhorut-d to
use all the force necessary to enfoice
compliance, even though it results in
serious bodily haun to the offender,
hut at the same lime more force than
ia alwoliitely necessary must not be
employed.
\\ OHMS found in hams AND bacon
are the larva> of some kind of an
insect. Usually they are flic grubs
of the bacon beetle, a dstk coloicd
beetle, about a quarter of an inch or
a little more in length, with a whitish
band aerosa the back. Now, as tlie
female beetle uiusl get to the meat in
order to de|toail her eggs, it is quite
evident that if she is kept out there
will be no skippers in the meat. The
nioe is true of other instets infest
ing meat, and the simple preventive
ia to keep the meat wrap|tcd in heavy
pa|er and lime coaled cloth, through
which the insects cannot find a pas
sage. Tight boxes, barrels or even s
moderately tight smoke-house, wiil
usually answer, having n fine wire
screen over the ventilator or chimney.
The sugar-cured bams found in our
markets are first wrap|ed with brown
pa|er, then iacloacd in cloth bags
and these painted with yellow-oehre
or some similar cheap paint. None
of the meat-infesting Insects can get
at these bams when kurrounried with
such materials. Iluatingof bacon is
caused by exposure to the air, or
perliaps moisture, air and heat. It
should be put in tight boxes and In
a cool, dry place, and there will be
no trouble with rust.
Wuter for Stock.
It i* often the case Hint domestic
animal* suffer severely in winter for
i want of water. The supply is in
j adequate,or the water in furnished at
long, or Irregular intervals. Korne-
I times this is clue to the carelessness
iof the owner of the animal. In oth
er cases it occurs because the owner,
not realizing the importance of an
abundant supply of water, is unwill
ing to spend the time and |>erforrn
■ th" labor required to furnish it. while
it is occasionally due to a tnisappre
! hension us to the quantity ol water
j which animals require. Jlut, what
ever may be the reason, an inade
quate supply of water will cause suf
fering, and the suffering of an ani
tnnl invariably involves a loss on the
part of its owner.
IT is quite time now, to think
about a few earlv chickens, if eggs
arc any object at Thanksgiving time.
; It is a good deal of work to bring up
chickens in cold weather, but if one
has W suitable place, and will attend
i to them carefully, they will often pay
! as well as any life stock on the farm.
| Cold feet probably kills and cripples
| more early chickens than any or ail
other causes. A stove in a chicken
| house seldom does much good, bc
j cause the heat does not get down to
i the floor. Warm feet, pure sir, and
plenty of nourishing food given at
frequent intervals, are the three re
quisites to success with early chick
ens. Whoever is ingenious enough
to secure these, will have nice broil
ers lor sale in May and June, and'
plenty of eggs in October and No-
I vetnber.
A WHIT FK in the Country Gentle
man U'ils u how the process of ri
pening cream is performed. At this
season he says there is often great
difficulty found in obtaining butter
| witiiout churning a long time. To
prevent this the cream should be
ripened. Set the full jar of cream
In-fore the kitchen fire and frequently
stir the contents with a wooden spoon
<>r stick kept fur the purpose. When
quite warmed through carry the jar
t a cool place to stand all night, in
the morning the butter is obtained
at a lower temperature nnd wth less
churning than if the cream had not
Inert previously warmed, while the
color aud flavor are uninjured.
TiiF.ru: are few- |H-rons who do not
1 relish apples in some way, either in
their natural condition or prepared
in the kitchen, yet it is doubtful
j whether the people of this country,
where apple growing is so generally
practiced, are fully aware of the
great nutr itiotisness and value of
this royal fruit. The <'orni*li min
ers in Ktigland declare that they can
work Iw-tt r on baked apples than on
potatoes. In addition to their great
nourishing qualities, tbcv are adapt
ed to almost every taste, and more
likely lo keep sickness from the door
than the entire contents of the apoth
ecary shop.
Cows 'e about coming in now, as
a rule, and one point should receive
particular attention Irom her owner,
and that i that she should ln\e dry
prartris. Many calves are hist by
being dropped on n cold iiiglit in the
mud of the eow.ynrd or pasture; or
il tot actually killed,are so much in
jured that they never thrive. (Jive
the cows the last quarters you can
afford, especially at night. A warm
IH>X stall, well littered, with the cow
loose, is Ik S!., with lio holes or hoards
oil for the e.ilf to huit itself with.
It is astonishing how small a hole a
young calf will slip through.
I AHvr.Us need to have some knowl
edge of the internal structure of their
live stock in order lo lets I them on
deralnndinglv. Thus the horse has
a small stomach, which needs to IK-
Mip| Tied often and in small quanti
ties. The cow 's stomach, on the con
traiy, is large and complicated, and
capable of storing large qunutitiea of
food. Hence frequent bailing is tin
mcessnry, and (• vert likely to cause
indigestion, I'igs, ngain, do iK-tU-r
if f<d us ollen as three or four times
s day.
'I IIK fact has I sen established that
in order to insure the laying of eggs
in any sustained measure during
cold weather, the hens must Is- treat
ed to a B|Hcial diet, of which Indian
corn comprises but a small propor
tion and wbent the greatest. Hut
shrunken wheat is found to l>e tlet
ter than plump grains, IK-CHUM' the
former contains a larger share of ni
tiogi-nous substances and the min
erals.
Wot t.t it not pwy any fatnier lo
give a little time just atioul now, to
selecting some seed wheat from his
mow ? We mean, select some of the
fullest, lineal loads, thresh and ctcnn
the in, and put away for MAILING a
patch •from which the seed for lHglt
will lie selected. We simply ask the
question, and suggest that it was in
some such way that ('lawsuit wheal
originated.— Farm Journal.
STOCK that will not pay to keep in
good condition at all seasons is not
worth keeping at all. No excuse is
sufficient for keeping stock in a half
starved condition.
THK farmer whose stock constant
ly deteriorates is not a good farmer
