F .a factory that
makes 1,000 pounds
of cheese per day
could by some con
centrated plan of
action among its
patrons and 'maker
add a half cent a
pound to its quality
it would amount to
S5 a day, or more
than S750 for the
saauaer. No small amount in liseu
toward paying the expenses or
the concern, and leave to the
patrons just so much more with
which to pay taxes, pew rents and
claw-hammer coats. And yet this is
the experience of factories reported,
who had demanded that all milk to be
delivered shall, as soon as milked, be
aerated aad cooled before being sent
la one factory a loss of two cents a
oeuBd on all cheese made by inferior
quality and flavor was recovered, and
the cheese sold after with the best.
followed the rule of every patron night
and morning aerating the milk and
cooling to a certain degree before plac
ing on the factory wagon. In quite a
number of factories this season where
this rule is being made mandatory,
there has been not only a noticeable
improvement in the quality of the but
ter made, but an increase in amount,
I. e., the milk creamed better, and the
churn did more perfect work. There
is a place for the "coming" factory man-
ager, and it is possible that the grad
uate of the dairy school with tests,
scales, aerators, starters and No. 41's
may raise the standard of excellence in
our dairy produce factories, but the
patron must also be a willing student,
and work these aerators, coolers and
double strainers and keep clean sta
bles and cleaner cows, to enable this
fellow to make the finer cheese and
more fancy butter. Practical Farmer.
Lenses In Creaming.
Not long ago, says the Practical
Dairyman, we made a little investiga
tion into just'What the loss was through
setting the milk in open pans. A herd
of fourteen cows was in milk and giv
ing about 250 pounds or milk a day.
The pans were set in a cool room and al
lowed to stand from 30 to 4S hours or
until the milk began to thicken. The
skim milk was tested with the Bab
cock test, and it showed that nearly all
the cream rose in the first twelve hours,
no difference being shown between that
set twelve hours and lhat set thirty-six
hours. But the amount of butter fat
which was lost was somewhat appall
ing, amounting as it did to eight
tenths of 1 per cent, or about one-sixth
of the whole amount of butter in the
milk. This loss is not surprising to
one who has opportunity to make such
tests, and it is going on every day on
hundreds and hundreds of farms in this
country. In this case, it amounted to
two pounds of butter per day which
brought 25 cents a pound to a private
trade. Fifteen per cent of the entire
production or over $175 per year; who
says that the loss does not amount to
much?
More than half this loss can be saved
by setting the milk in deep cans and
putting them in cold water, and nearly
all of it by the use of a hand separator.
Where one has the facilities a creamery
is very good, but ice or running watc
below 45 degrees must be at hand and
this is not convenient on many farms.
But a creamery costs less and is less
work to wash and care for than a sepa
rator, although, as a rule, it does not
raise quite as much of the cream.
. Dipping Ponltry.
Early last spring I dipped my fowls
in a mixture of half a pint of zenoieum
and five gallons of warm water. This
killed the large gray lice with which
they were Infested, writes M. A. Hoyt
in Journal of Agriculture. Later, when
the mites appeared, the process was re
peated. Sitting hens were taken from
their nests and given a bath; chicks, as
they hatched were dipped, and thus all
vermin was destroyed. The hen-house
was sprayed with the same mixture,
thoroughly cleaned and emptied of ev
erything but a block for pounding bone,
boxes for nests, and movable roosls
made of green cedar poles fastened to
gether in pairs and set up on cedar legs
eighteen inches high. The nests are
kept clear of vermin by occasionally
Inverting them over a olaze made of
their straw filling. The roosts stand out
from the wall to prevent their acquir
ing vermin from that source, though
cedar is said to be proof against them.
The house is twenty feet square, with
a sand floor, which is cleaned every oth
er day and freshly spaded, or coated
with a layer of road dust The fowls
are confined in a park of 120 feet circuit
Every morning they are fed a hot mash
of bran aad potatoes, sightly salted anil
stirred up with the liquor from boiled
meat scraps. Twice a week a handful
of sulphur is thrown into this mash.
Cora is given oa the cob to make them
work a little for their food. Scraps
from the meat market make them a
sal every second day. For greens
they have fresh, crisp, pig weeds, turnip
tops aad oaioas. With tomatoes aad
efuae fruit they are abundantly sup-

Later, I shall dip them again to destroy

I keep a daily egg record, and an ac
count with all outlay and income from
ray poultry, and I know just what they
are doing.
PalaU Abeat Esse.
It is not always safe to judge aa egg
by its appearance. It may be appar
ently fresh, yet if It absorbs enough au
to permit it to float in water even a
little above the bottom of the dish it
may not be perfectly fresh.
The white of a perfectly fresh egg
cannot be beaten to a froth as easily as
the white of an egg that is a day or two
old, and if the egg is very-cold the beat
ing of the white will be accomplished
more easily.
When the shell of an egg will peel off
as if the egg had been hard boiled. It is
not fresh, as the contents of a fresh egg
adhere closely to the shell and must be
removed.
When held to a strong light, a fresh
egg is clear, and if shaken in the hand
no jarring motion of the contents must
be felt
Many who use eggs daily are unable
to judge of their quality, and indeed it
is difficult to determine the freshness of
an egg by any one, but the above may
be of use to some who are inexperi
enced. roaltrjr Xetee.

There aije few kinds of poultry that
pay befter than guineas.
Lime will kill lice; it is a good disin
fectant; it will purify the air; it will
make the poultry house clean and free
from vermin.
Oats stimulate without enervating or
fattening. They form a good ration to
reduce the fat of bens that are too fat
to lay well.
Feather pulling is largely due to
idleness It is most liable to occur in
active breedsthat are kept confined and
have little exercise.
The only hens that it will pay to keep
through the winter are those that can
be relied upon for winter layers or that
arc needed for breeders.
In raising hens for market the profit
lies in hatching early, pushing the
chickens forward as much as possible
and marketing them early.
One great recommendation that the
larger breeds of fowls have over the
small ones is that the large ones have
to stay where they are put, while the
small ones go where they please.
Turkeys do not bear confinement well,
whether young or old. When shut up
they soon mope and droop their wings
and begin to fall off in condition.
Egg shells are good for the fowls, but
they should be crushed very fine before
feeding them. Otherwise you may in
troduce the egg-eating vice into the
poultry yard.
Hedging on Pork. The pork packers
are contracting to deliver January hog
products on a very low basis, mess pork,
for instance, about $4 lower than a year
ago. They had the figures too high
last year and lost money, but there
are good judges who think they have it
too low now and are as likely to lose
money as they, were last year. There
is only one thing that is favorable to
their side of the argument at present,
and that is the handsome supply of
corn. Present supplies of hogs are cer
tainly not large and there has not been
a fall for a long time when there was
so much sickness among young pigs..
Theie are large areas too where farm
ers have suffered heavy losses among
old hogs. Of course hogs are very pro
lific and on the right kind of feed,
which they would surely get almost
anywhere in this year of plenty, it
takes only a few months to lit them for
market, but it looks as if ths packers
and speculators were discounting the
big corn crop too heavily. Drovers'
Journal.
Potato Scab. Dr. Byron Halsted, of
the New Jersey experiment station, is
one of the most careful observers and
workeis. The Rural New Yorker
gives the following note in regard to
some of his recent work: Dr. Halsted
of New Jersey had a very interesting
exhibit of potatoes at the Trenton
fair. The object was to show tne ef
fect of flowers of sulphur in checking
! cr reducing potato scab. The results
were striking. Where the seed was
rolled in sulphur, and a quantity of
the substance was scattered in the
drills, the potatoes were remarkably
free and clean. Where sulphur was
not used they were badly scabbed. Dr.
Halsted obtained much the same re
sults with sulphur in preventing
sweet potato rot. The R. N. Y. tried
sulphur carefully years ago and found
that it largely prevented scab and kept
wire worms in check.
jEarly Maturity. Early maturity
means'the largest proportion of muscle
or lean meat for the least food eaten,
as well as the attainment of this condi
tion at earliest possible ate. All growth
is made from what hfeaten in excess of
the amount necessary to support life,
and- the quicker it reaches the stage
best fitted for food not only will it have
cost less per pound, but it will have de
veloped the tenderest and the largest
amount of lean meat Iadiana Farmer.
There Is a diversity of eeialaa
atockmea coacaralac the iaaaar of
feeding smutty corn to stock. Taea
aads of stock of dif ereat klaas have
seta fed smutty eora without say ap
parent injury; yet occasionally sobm
feeder reports sickness aat esata
among hU stock, which he attributes
to this cause. It Is doubtful if there Is
sufficient evidence at hand to Justify
anyone in giving an opinion of any
special merit As good authority as aay
on this subject says It is barely pos
sible that the smut fungus at times
may become virulent aad dangerous to
the health of the animal, but surely its
general prevalence shows that such a
change in character is very rare. -
Professor Henry of the Wisconsin
experiment station, says ho has fre
quently recommended through the
press that smut be fed ia limited quan
tities, urging that the animals eating
such injured grain be closely watched,
and the feed changed if ovll symptoms
sppear. He says he always ssked'for
reports if anything wrong happened,
and has never yet received aa unfa
vorable report He says a few years
ago he tried feeding corn smut to cows,
one of which refused to eat. the smut
after it amounted to considerable in
quantity, while the other consumed a
peck dally of carefully cleaned corn
smut. This cow was gaining rapidly
in flesh,owhen suddenly she was taken
with some apparent brain trouble and
died. Lacking experience he made a
post morlem, but unfortunately, did
not follow it up as he should have
done. No animal, he thinks, could eat
any such quantity of smut, unless It
was a steer or cow spending most of its
time in the stalk field searching for tho
smut. There is scarcely a year that
there is not more or less smutty corn,
and it would seem, therefore, that if
the limited quantities taken in ordinary
feed ate very injurious, more frequent
complaints would be made. We would
be pleased to have the views and ex
perience of feeders on thi3 subject

Tonles of Dartmoor.
The forest of Dartmoor, England,
stretches for about 30 miles from north
to south, and is some 14 miles across.
comprising, it is said, 200,000 acres. It
belongs mostly to the Prince of Wales,
as forming part of the Duchy of Corn
wall, but there are many manorial
rights as to pasturage, and rights of
common, again, are let by the Duchy.
Laws dating back to the last century
have been in force in regard to the
ponies, and there was a family of Moor
men called Edmunds, who were em
ployed under the Duchy as bailiffs to
take care of the ponies. This duty con
sisted of seeing that no stallion pony. of
above 12 hands was to be seen within
the precincts of the moor, as none
above that height was considered a
true forester. A Moorman's tax of
half-a-crown per annum for each pony
had to be paid by the owners, and this
was the only bill for keep, the volun
tary extras being for branding or ear
marking the colts once a year, but for
the half-a-crown the Moorman had to
show cause of all deaths and losses
by a hoof or marked ear. The small
matter of costs for the maintenance
of ponies has made it a favorite spec
ulation among the small mocr-side
farmers and village tradesmen, and
such owners have always proclaimed
against too much improvement. The
little rough foresters could live all the
year round on the moors, and, except
ing in very severe winters, thrive and
do well. Then a little stock of four or
five mares would average about three
colts a year, that would sell at Brent
Fair when three years old for about
6 10s each, or say in round numbers
20. Against this the Duchy fees for
the lot would not have been more than
1 a year, so the result would represent
a clear profit. It has been argued that
a little improvement in the breed might
make the figure. 12 10. instead of 6
10s, but then the moor-side people say
the risks are greater. Live Stock Jour

Oleo Law in Wisconsin A great many
people were very skeptical as to the
good effect of the law passed by the
Wisconsin legislature last winter
against filled cheese, and forbidding
the sale of oleomargarine In the yellow
color of butter. A very significant fact,
relative to the taking out of United'
States licenses in this state since the
passage of the law may serve to estab
lish judgment on that question. We
learn that the applications for license
have fallen off from 133 to nine. That
tells the story conclusively. Without
the permission to sell the stuff in the
color of butter, and therefore as butter,
the trade is practically worthless, thus
showing beyond cavil that the business
is built on deception, as its opponents
have always maintained. Alike effect
has been' observed in all the states
where similar legislation has been had.
The great wonder is that any man or
newspaper of decent character could be
found to justify it Hoard's Dairyman.
The Corn Crib. A corn crib should
bo'Tcofed and sided on the north and
west sides, if exposed, as tightly as' a
crib for small grain. This is true, be
cause leakage injures ear corn as well
as small grain though the damage, be
not so great It is true, because driv
ing storms will force snow nearly to the
center of the crib; and then when melt
lag causes more or less dasaage. It la
easy to reduce the selling price or feed
ing value of corn two cents the bushel,
and two cents the bushel is the whole
cost of cribbing corn, saying nothing
about the use of the cribs ia subse
quent years. Rural Life.

talks, aad It as easy to believe that
as well-ordered, intelllgeat parrot
would pat ap long with such slighting
remarks as tho yoaag fanaor wss la
the habit of making. If memory serves
aright, the bird did once rebuke his
mistress sweetheart but very mildly,
simply calling him a "sassy thing." On
that eccsstoa Folly wss promptly pun
ished by his mistress, who snapped his
head with a piece of whalebone and
covered his cage with paper for aa en
tire day. This was sdded insult, but
nothing was to be done except wait
patiently for aa opportunity to get even.
The opportunity soon came. A few
nights ago the young farmer entered
the house of his life's light, sad asked
for the flame. She was prinking, -but
would be down in a short time, and
would Frank try to make friends with
Polly? So Frank turned into the room
where Polly sat on his perch -munching
a cracker and crooning a jungle ditty.
Extracting a chocolate caramel from
khis pocket Frank moved toward the
cage. There are tides la the affairs of
men and likewise parrots.- and this
bright if green pet realized that the
flcod of his tide had come.
"Hellow, young hayseed!" he shouted.
There was a moment of Intense si
lence. Then the cage was struck to the
floor and the room was filled with
feathers and hair. A moment later
Polly's mistress entered the room.
"What is the trouble. Frank?"
"Some one has taught this parrot to
call me a young hayseed." answered
her lover, flushed and angry, "and I will
not stand It"
"Did you hurt poor Polly?" picking
up the maimed creature.
-"I tried to kill the thing."
The young woman vigorously up
braided her lover, and hurriedly slip
ping her engagement ring from her fin
ger and handing it back, said:
"A man who loses his temper on such
slight provocation cannot be my com
panion for life. The engagement is
broken and you need not call again."
THE WORLD'S DIAMONDS.
Soasethlaa; Aboat the Vaat Wealth Tied
Vp la Gen.
1 There is always something fascinat
ing about the subject of diamonds, and
rich and poor lite to read about pre
cious stones, says Yenowine's News. It
is estimated that during the last twen-ty-flve
years the American people have
paid duty on at least $180,000,000 worth
of diamonds and Other precious stones,
in 1893 afone they imported S15.203,
563 worth, but in 1894 there was a
falling off owing to hard times, and
the total was only $4,856,985. This
does not include uncut diamonds, of
which we imported more than fl.000,
000 worth in 1892, $800,000 worth In
1893 and $566,267 worth in 1894. Dur
ing the last twenty-four years we have
imported $7,087,817 worth of uncut dia
monds. In 1880 we imported only
$129,000 worth of uncut diamonds, and
in 1889 only $250,000 worth. The large
increase of late has been due to the
fact that a number of American jew
ers have opened diamond-cutting es
tablishments. There are now fifteen
establishments in the United States
which employ from one to twenty men.
There are 4,000 manufacturers in Eu
rope and about 200 in the United
States who employ between 7,000 and
8,000 persons as cutters and polishers.
Perhaps 28,000 people are employed
in the diamond mines throughout the
world. We read that In past centur
ies 60,000 people were working In some
single Indian mines at one time, and
perhaps that statement is not exagger
ated, since by the aid of modern ma
chinery one miner can now accomplish
as much as twenty who used the prim
itive methods. The total value of all
the diamonds in the world undoubted
ly exceeds $1,000,000,000. There are
perhaps 8,000 dealers in diamonds in
the world, who carry in their stock
stones worth perhaps $350,000,000. The
remainder are in the bands of private
individuals. To compare present con
ditions with those of the past, it is
instructive to note the enormous in
crease In the production of diamonds,
and the important industrial changes
wrought thereby, which have resulted
from the discovery and working of the
great South African mines. During
the last quarter century ten tons of
diamonds, selling for more than $300.
000,000 uncut and $600,000,000 after
cutting, have been added to the
world's wealth an amount more than
twice as great as the value of dia
monds known to exist before.

A young man, who says he is Will

a serious and most remarkable nulroad
accident a mile from this city this, morn
ing. He was riding on the steps of a
passenger coach, when acowrosenp
from where she had been sleeping in a
ditch and collided with the steps, break
ing them loose from the train. Ortman
was thrown to the ground with great
violence and sustained &crious injuries
about the head, in addition to having-a
leg broken. He was not found &or sev
eral hours, and was unconscious. It is
not to be doubted that he was beating
his way on the train, as he had no
money. He was taken to the poor
farm, and his injuries are v?ry serious,

bis daily bread the other morning.
"Ah, 'perhaps you will understand, "
he said with a sigh, "when 1 tell you
that there is a bet on between 'Mrs.
Sheba and roe, nnd until I win or lose
it I cannot go near the place."
"What kind of a bet is it, pray? and
Mrs. Plaindexter smiled incredulously.
"She bet me that if I ate your vituals
for a month I wouldn't live to tell the
story. She prize is a plateful of her
ancestral jewels, and lam sure of win

Still on the subject of Irish guides. (
the echo story which follows maybe
old, but is well worth retelling. A Kil-
larnev tourist was assured by a guide
that the echo on Loch Gil was far finer.
So off went the tourist to bear it and
hired two men to row him out, accom-
plishing the transaction so swiftly that,
there was no time for them to arrange
for the usual echo to be in attendance.
In despair they broke an oar. and oae
swam ashore to fetcli another. Th
echo then began. "Good morrow,
cried the tourist. "Good morrow,"
said the echo, with a brogue. "Fine
day. God bless it," cried the lourist.
"Foine day, God bless it," said tho
echo. "Will you have a drink?' cried
the tourist. "Begorra 1 will!" roared
the echo. London Globe.
Kvaporated Apple.
When fruit is high try this recipe.
Take the best evaporated apples to be
had. put them in an earthern dish,
which should be two-thirds full: cover
with warm (not hot) water and cook in
a steamer; or better, a steam cooker,
six or seven hours. At the end of the
first hour, add sugar to taste, dissolved
in hot water, being careful not to break
or muss the apples, and add bot water
from time to time as it cooks away.
When cold, slip carefully into a fruit
dish. It will be very pretty and palat
able, but it cannot be hurried or pre
pared carelessly.
Sarsaparilla Sense.
Anv sarsaparilla is sarsaparilla. True. So any
tea is tea. So any flour is flour. But grades differ.
You want the best. It's so with sarsaparilla. There
are grades. You want the best. If you understood
sarsaparilla ,as well as you do tea and flour it
would be easy to determine. But you don't. How
should you ?
When you arc going to buy a commodity
whose value ou don't know, you pick out an old
established house to trade with, and trust their
experience and reputation. Do so when buying
sarsaparilla.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla has been on the market
fifty years. Your grandfather used Ayer's. It.is a
reputable medicine. There are many sarsaparillas.

is to be commended only when the
table is of fine old roahogony or some

dinners, and white china is preferable
to the decorated ware, inasmuch as one
