Tho name Travelling Dairy is probably familiar to readers of the' TIMES who are interested in dairy matters, for during last summer reports appeared from time to time in the leading daily papers, telling of the work being done in various parts of the Province by Prof. Dean, of the Ontario Agricultural College, and his two assistants, (11esara. Palmer and Brown, who helped him n his difficult task of bringing the moat odern methods of making butter and test - ng milkpractically before the eyes of the farmers, and of lecturing on those most im- portant subjects—the breeding, care and feeding of miloh cows, the handling of milk, and on all subjects bearing on dairy farming. eRIGIN OF THE TRAVELLING DAIRY. It will be remembered that the Hon. John Dryden, "'Minister of Agriculture for Ontario, • first conceived the idea of sending a travelling dairy through the Province to give farmers and their wives and daughters practical instrdotion in butter -making and to ' arouse a keener interest in dairy matters generally. For this purpose he obtained a small appropria- tion from the Legislature, and on consult- •ing with President Mills, of the Agricultural College, • they decided to send out Prof. Dean and two assistants, who were to take i with them a complete outfit of butter. , making and milk -testing apparatus, and to hold meetings at various places as arranged beforehand by Mr. Mills with the secretaries of the different Farmers' Institutes. THE WORK ACCOMPLISHED LAST YEAR. This unique but useful contrivance to help the farming community, and the con- sumers of butter as well, proved successful beyond all expectation. It was thought at first that during the summer, when farmers were necessarily very busy. they would hardly turn out to the meetings, but the contrary was soon proved, for not only did the farmers and townspeople.. . turn out, but a large number of ladies always appeared en the scene, who took a great interest in the proceedings. After the work was once begun letters arrived daily at President "Mills office ask- ing that the Travelling Dairy might visit this or that county, but, it was impossible to go everywhere. During the months of July and August three counties were pretty well covered, namely, York, Ontario and Simcoe. Twenty-seven meetings were held in all, the attendance ranging from 30 up to 500 people. • During September ten of the leading fall fairs were visited and in October twelve meetings (including attend- ance at three fairs) were held in Essex county. At the outset many difficulties presented - themselves, which, however, were gradually overcome. In nearly every case those in charge met with a most cordial reception. The meetings were largely attended and the general opinion seemed to be that it was the best thing that had yet been done to lift the butter •trade from its present unsatis- factory condition, and to spread abroad valuable dairy knowledge. THE WORK PLANNED FOR THIS YEAR. As the experiment proved so successful and of so much practical value, Mr. Dryden decided to ask the Legislature for an . in- creased appropriation, so that it could be continued for another year. This appropri- ation was obtained during the last session in March. It was, however, deemed og• pedient to make certain changes in the pro- posed work. .First, owing to the hundreds of applications sent in, it was 'found neces- sary to send out two separate deptitations— one to go east, the other west. Second, owing to the difficulty of arranging meetings satisfactorily, so that proper connections could be made on the trains, 'and also owing to the expense incurred in reaching those points which the railway did not touch, it was thought advisable to purchase two teams and waggons, so that the different counties could be covered thor- oughly, independent of trains or livery rigs. With these changes the arrangements are practically the same as last year. The .etings are arranged by President Mills, ai ed by the Secretaries of the different Fa ners' Institutes. ITS RELATION TO CREAMERIES AND CHEESE FACTORIES." It is thought by some thatthe influence of the travelling dairy, or dairies as they now arewill hinder the advancement of creameries and cheese factories in the Prov- ince ; but this is not so. It was not Mr. Dryden's intention when he first started the dairy that it should in any way compete with the creameries or cheese factories ; he desired rather that they should be fostered and upheld by every means possible ; Or to develop a large and profitable export trade in dairy products he realized that the fac- tory system would have to be adopted in butter -making, as it bas been adopted to a large extent in cheese -making. One great object of the travelling dairy is to aid butter -makers to lessen the cost of production, and to improve the quality of the product made in private dairies, the output of which finds its way to the local mtjkets, and being very often of poor grt>ijity it does not satisfy the palate of the consumer, and hence brings a poor price. These private dairies are often so located that they are not within reach of factories, or at any rate a certain amount of butter is made, and will be made until winter dairy- ing is adopted, before the factory opens and after it closes. ' But this is not the only object.. Perhaps a greater one , is to improve the condition of the dairy cows in the Province, to dis- cuss the breeds of dairy cattle, the best way to breed and feed so as to produce the most profitable breed and to ttilk over dairy fanning in all its different phases. In this way the interests of the 'factory will be in- creased, not diminished. WHEN THE WORK WILL COMiMENQE. Arrangements have already been by Presi- dent Mills for a large number of meetings.: One deputation trill be in charge of W. ,T. Palmer, 11. S. A. Mr. Painier, a graduate of the Agricultural College, assisted Prof. (loan last year in his travelling dairy work. lie has lately been 'attending the famous dairy school at MadisonWisconsin, and , creameries in Illinois. Ho will bo assisted by Mr. John McTavish, of Seaforth, who bis an extended experience in practical to tterinaking.: - During •thnlest three years' he has managed the Londesboro creamery, owned by Mr. John Hannah, of Seaforth. This deputation will start from Gananoque, in county Leeds, on May 2nd, with a team and complete outfit. The first meeting will be 'held at Seeley'' Bay on Tuesday, Allay 3rd, at 2 p. m. From thence they will proceed to Elgin on Way 4th, and so on until the county is well covered. About twenty-one meetings will be held in this one county. Dr. Preston, M. P. P., of Newboro, and Mr. Freeman Button, of Gananoque,. secretary of the institute, are making t_he necessary arrangements. When meetings, in this county are finished the deputation will then move on through Grenville, Dundas, StormounttGlengarry and back west through the northern counties. About five meetliga will be held per week. The second deputation will be in charge of S. W. Linfield, B. S. A. • Mr. Linfield is also a graduate of the Agricultural College. He attended the Madison Dairy School during part of the winter and has lately been working in Prof. Robertson's experi- mental creamery, near Woodstock. He will be assisted by Mr. James Hume, of Ayton, a buttermaker, who has had a great deal of experience in pr"actical work. , This deputation will start in Wentworth county with an outfit similar to the first. Their first meeting will be at Freelton, on Wed- nesday, May 4th, at 2 p. m., thence to `Waterdown on the 5th inst.,. and on to other places through 'the• county, after which they will pass through Lincoln, Wel- land, Monck, Haldimand and Oxford. • OUTFIT REQUIRED. With the exception of teams and waggons the outfit is nearly similar to that of last year, oottsistina' of an eight -bottle Babcock milk tester, a 'No. 3 Daisy churn, a lever butter worker, cream can,. milk setting cans, thermometers, and other utensils necessary to make good butter. About three gallons of cream and some ice are required for each meeting. These are arranged for ahead, and are supplied by some person near at hand, who, after the meeting is over, gets the butter in return for his cream. THOSE WIIO SHOULD ATTEND THE MEETINGS. Everybody who can possibly do so. There is no excuse nowadays for the farmer who keeps in the old ruts of thirty or forty years, ago: The man who is alive and eager to gain knowledge bearing on agriculture, even supposing he may know all about his business, he is the man who will get, on But not only the farmer, but thestore- keeper, the cheese -factory man, the cream- ery man, all are interested and all should attend. Fer the Young People. "'rheStory of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation," by Charles Foster (World Pub- lishing Company, Guelph, is a book that m' ht with propriety and advantage be ptraced in the hands of every child of reading age in the land. It is the work of a roaster in interpreting in e. pleasing narrative form theprincipal events of the Old and New Testaments, and he has succeeded so ' well that the matter, while following the sacred Word with the utmost fidelity as to factand retaining a proper reverential tone is so well adapted to the taste and understanding of juvenile readers as to add the charm of the fireside Story to their relation. Nor is it in any sense a childish work ; it is'digni- fied and sensible, enthralling to . the old as well as to 'the young. It is a small quarto volume of 750 pages copiously illus- trated with full page engravings and is yrinted and bound in a style highly credit- able to the publishers A valuable part of the book is its appendices of tables and copious and well-a'ranged index. It is an excellent book to select for a birthday gift to a growing boy or girL Nothing so quickly arrests thelittention of youth or so indelibly impresses on the memory facts and phenomena as to invest theteaching, with the charm of story. It more than hears the words, it lives in the minds of the heroes and heroines it admires. So books like this will aid in cultivating the study of the Book itself. There to Stay. " It's no use 1 " The little man at the theatre sank bank in his seat discourager and gave vent to his `feelings in a voice loud enough to be heard - ten feet away. " It's worse than ever," he went on. "It was bad enough before Easter, but they wore it fore-and-aft then, and it didn't shut off the whole horizon. Now they wear it broadside on, and everything goes- into total eclipse."• t> " What are yeti• talking about ?" inquired the man sitting n,t to him. "The fan -shaped ribbon," he replied. " I thought it would go out with Lent, but it's here vet." , The fan -shaped ribbon that loomed up in front of him trembled a little with indigna- tion, but the hat it adorned didn't come off. The worker was a young Evaston woman who votes.—Chicago Tribune. - 1)o You Buy Machinery Y The attention.of readers who may be in need of machinery of any description•, either new or second hand, is directed; .to the ad- vertisement of Mr. H.

" I'm de kid," replied the boy. " You can read and write, of course." " Sure." " And you're not afraid of work ?" " I kin sleep with it without bein' scared a bit." " Are you lively in getting around ?" " Quicker'n a compressed air ordinance." The senior clerk looked over the boy's recommendations and declared that he would do. " Now, hold on," said the boy. " Does the boss kick much ?" " What do you mean ?" " The boss—the main guy." " What's that to you ?" asked the clerk sharply. " You have nothing to do with him." " Dat's all right," returned the boy. "`But I has with the fellers as gets his kicks, and after he jumps on them they .catches me by the collar and bangs me up agin the wall and calls me names.

" Look out there, sir !" exclaimed one of a gang of painters on the Brooklyn bridge to a passebger who was walking dangerously near some fresh white paint. The warning came too late, for when the gentleman looked at the skirt of his hand- some new blue melton box coat he discov- ered that it was decorated with a big blotch of white paint. '" Why didn't you call in time ?" he said augrily. " You see, I've ruined my coat." It was not my fault," replied the man, " and besides that, your coat is not injured, much less ruined." " It will cost me $5 to 'have it cleaned, anyhow." " Not a cent," said the workman. "I'll show you tho best way in the world to eradicate a paint stain." Suiting the action to the word, he grasped the skirts of the $70 overcoat and, to the horror of its owner, began to rub the soiled spot against a clean surface of cloth.- " Don't loth.-"Don't do that," protested the gentle- man ; but the painter continued, and, after a few moments more of . vigorous rubbing, he displayed the once soiled surface absolutely free from any trace of the pig- ment. " Where has the paint gone ?•' queried the man, in surprise. " I`really don't know," said the painter, "but I know that is the best way m the world to remove every trace -of fresh paint." If you don't believe the truth of this story just dip the tail of your $100 dress suit in a pot of red paint and try the ex- periment yourself. Ilow to Put- on Your Cuffs. . Not one man in fifty knows how to put on a cuff properly,/says a haberdasher in the St. Louis Globs -Democrat. The swell who buttons both his cuffs on the same side thinks he's perfection, but he isn't. In other words, the cuff should be buttoned the same as the wristband, left toward the left, right toward the right. Examine yours and you'll see what I mean. But if you really pant to be proper you must wear link but- tons, as they are the ones that give the proper shape to the cuff: k ' THE ARMSTRONG `! SPEEDER." VEIGHT, ABOUT • 200 POUNDS.
