The writer in the cnrly days of his
farming operations did as most other
flock musters did in his vicinity, let
the sheep rough it late in J ail and
early in Spring. The result was like
that ol all other farmcis in those
days—or ut the present time lor that
matter—the sheep grew poor all w in.
tor; many lost their lambs in spring ;
many died of such treatment, and
many of those that lived lost a con
siderable portion of their wool, so
that there was bill little profit, if not
actual loss in such management.
A fid u si-1 i. h of such neglectful care
and feeding, I began to think there
was a better way. The first innova
tion was a slitd lilted lor feuding un
der covei.willi board windows that
could I.- open. 1 (ui light and venti
lulion in pleasant weather, and closed
(lining t-' .in. and extreme cold.
The result wus plainly an improve

Crcis-.n ly vn Homo-mad j Butter.
Hotel* now prefer the creamery
butter because of its uniformity
They can ail a hundred dilfercnt
plate* itjHrn their tnhles in a single
, day, or can set their tables u hundred
;iiay in succession, ami serve their
1 customer* alike at every table and on
every day. The creamery system ha*
evidently come to stay, and if wo
i we arc behind the VVeat in
'liis matter of butter making, then
mint we not adopt the name method*
i they have adopted in order to com
pete with tliern, or even hold our
own ? We are working at a dixad
-1 vantage when we manufacture a
thousand pound ß of butter in ten or
a hundred plnci a instead of one
place. It is ten men or a hundred
men, nnd ten or u hundred churns
against one man and one churn, for
with the ne'je nary power arid con
venience one man can make the thou
sand pounds much cheaper than it
can lie made by the ten or the hun
dred men In one case there area
hundred churns nnd butter workers
to work against the one at the fac
tory, while in the factory the very
, best man in the entire community is
ehosell to do the work, and he will
make the whole product nearly or
i quite' equal to the vers best that is
made by the lust individual maker
at the farm dairy.
In relation to the improvement in
dairying in Nn Knglaiid. the paper

Lin iat. as iu.gt. as u desired, with a
round bottom, surrounded with a
eompaitment of water; the latter to
be alh.nt one I >ot d> p, and lour or
six inches w h ; the inside vat aliout
twenty i: > he* diep. A moment s
thought will convince any one that
the milk should l>o ehilled at the top
antl war on lat the bottom. Fluids
sink wtili col l unlii Uicy reach forty -
two dtgrccs; below that jsiint cold
expands water and it rises. Hut as
milk setting is usually conducted
above forty two degrees, if the cold
is under the milk the more the milk
is chitted at the iKiltom the less ci*
eolation will result. The colder it is
the more closely it remains below,
while the warm milk stay* on the
surface, often In-coming bard and
sour before the cream rises from that
at the bottom. Cream production is
too commonly regarded as a chemical
change, like the souring of milk, but,
as shown by the action of the cen
trifuge, it is mechanical. The cream
globules are the largest, and, in M
minute degree, the lightest. A gen
tle circulation in the milk will bring
them to the surface, where, if undis
turlwd, they will remain. If in a
properly constructed pan the up|H r
circumference of the milk is chilled,
a current will descend along
the cool side; and then if the lower
third of the deep vat is exposed to
warm air, a current ol warm milk
will iise in the center, hearing to the
surface the cream globules. A few
hours will tning the best cream to
the top.

are many who feed too lavishly, thero
are far more who do not feed enough,
or who feed very irregularly, and tffe
result la a very poor lot of fowls.
