Their first point fes' gained. • • The servant, having closed and barred the door and asked thiel to follow, goes on ahead.

These were the first cattle, except tite water buffalo. ever shipped to the -Phil- ippines, and the cost of the freight from Australia amounted to twice the valve of the animals in the British colony. The water buffalo. besides supplying the natives with milk. is slaughtered for the treat, but very little is used in the Philippines. It is also the beast of burden and the family pet. The chil- dren will -climb over the animal. and it is as gentle as a kitten. except when it is very warm and the flies are trouble- some, when it will take a sudden notion to run for the nearest river or mud pond, burying itself completely and wallowing until covered with a coat of black, sticky mud, which serves to keep' the flies from torturing it so effectively. Cause of Solt Butter. Some butter that is made in summer la often soft or mushy, though, of course. most of it is olid and of good. grain, says the New York Witness. The reason why the soft butter is not of the saltie quality as the hard is that it is not made in the same manner, which, of course, includes the handling of both the milk and eretuaa. The softnese of the butter is generally due to the tempera- ture being too high, and this is why soft butter is the rale in most dairies during the hot months of July and .An - gust. Perhaps the reasons why the dim- 'culty is not overt nme are Iack of con- veniences, pressure of other duties and in some cases ignorance. To overcome all this keep things cool. Have tbe cream at the peeler temperature, and if YOU cannot seeure the means of mak- ing it so it would be better to give up the idea of making butter during tbe summer, for it would be a great deal better not to make poor butter, even if you are interested in the smallest kind of a way, for it will ruin your rop"u.a- tion, and this once done it will be nest to impossible to build up any kind of a business in either butter or cheese. Churn the cream -during the morning would no doubt be best --at a tempera- ture of about 56 or 58 degrees, for this will prevent its becoming mushy. As soon as the butter comes in little gran- ules about the size of grains of wheat it is time to stop the churn. Should it look milky and not float well pour in sufficient cold water to make it float. Having done this, draw off the com- bined water and buttermilk and pour in more cold water, almost filling the churn, and then revolve the churn rapidly about 50 tunes. l had this 11- lustrated to me a 1-w weeks ago at an institute, and the result was a lot of butter, with each little grain standing out separately, extremely firm in tex- ture and ready for salting. Cows Hating Straw. Wherever grain is grown largely and its straw is stacked in the barnyard after thrashing cows have a great lik- ing for rubbing themselves against the stack to rid themselves of the flies that torment them, say the Boston Culti- vator. A fence should be built around the stack to protect it from being pulled to pieces. Cows will eat considerable straw, picking at it, and they will of- ten eat enough of the chaff to lessen their flow of milk. This chaff makes good winter feed if moistened and grain meal or bran is mixed with it. Thus fed, even the straw will not help dry the COWS off, as it will if fed dry. Yellow Drills. The yellow shade of milk its chiefly due to its fat, but as this constituent is more yellow in the milk of some cows than others the yeliowest mills is not necessarily the richest. and it is unsafe to judge by the color alone, Poor milk from some cows rnsy be more highly colored than rich` mak from others. Be- sides this artificial colors are sometimes added by dishonest persons. -Live Stock. SIZE OF SILOS. Atlmte In *warner Ie aq Exeellent 8otling Crop, T3ntil quite recently the idea ha9. been to build the silo just large enough. to afford six months' feeding, but now there is an enlargement of the plan, as it is found by exhaustive trials that silage in summer is the most effectual soiling crop yet tried and surest. The man who has silage in summer to feed with pasturage is independent of the feed seller, and nothing will hold the cows up so front shrinkage. So there is a larger planning. more silage ea - parity; either in larger silos or ice smaller ones, now that the tubsilo. is So much in evidence. The old allowance of four and one- half tons per cow, allowing for wast- age, is now made sorer, and six tons per cow is supposed to be about right, so as to give het• a ton and a half in the midsummer. The capacity of the 1 Square silo is quietly ascertained by estimating that a Cow will need a est -1 bic foot of silage a day, This for 180 days would be a little over four tons,'' and 45 pounds to the foot would make it necessary to provide about 200 cubic feet for each cow. So Multiply the number of cows by 200 and build the pits to hold correspondingly. In. round silos the figuring is different, and as a circle hes never as yet been squared we append a table figured out for ail sizes of round silos, Diameter of dia. -sleight of silo.---•-. 20 ft, 221t, 25it. 8011. 10 ft, tons sweeter.. el 3# 4Q 4i 12 ft. tons capacity., 5 49 55 eta 14 ft. tons capacity.. ea til 71 90 10 ft, tons capacity., ail TO 1.04 130 iS ft. tons capacity,.

A coots Business" Govan. Professor Robertson thus deserlbee what he calls "a good business cow;'" "The cow in all civilized countries is always a boarder upon some person. She should be made to pay for bey board at suet) rewuuerative rates as SUQttTIthte'N uit,EEn. will leave a profit for the boarding bouse keeper. If she fails in that, she should be made to render a cervico Which she will not willingly contrib- ute. Her carcass should be made into beef and her hide Into leather. She should not be shyly sent to board upon same other unfortunate man.: A cow' with the business habit of keeping her accounts with the world paid up, through the man who owns bid feeds her, is a good business cow. That is tbe kind of a oosv 1 recommend. Her power of service will be Indicated by certain external points. She should nave a large, long udder, of elastic, fine quality; it mellow, movable shin covered with soft, silky hair; a long, large .barrel, hooped with at ribs, broad and wide apart; a broad loin, spreading out into broad, long hind quarters; an open twist, with rather thin hips, and a lean neck of sym. metrical length, carrying a clean cut, fine face, with prominent eyes. A cow with these points has ability to serve a man well If sbe gets a fair chance. That her calves may have powers equal to or rather better than her own care should be exercised in their breeding. The best blood of the breed adapted to the farmer's purpose should be used to enlarge and not to lessen the working capacity to be transmit- ted to her calves." LIQUOR SLAVERY. Which would you be -et loin-. queror or a slave? Is there any need to ask.a man whether he would rather stand noble, useful,bra'sre and free,or cower in weakness and disgrace, the victim of evil passions, tossed among the wreckage of life. Every year, you miss from among those with whom you are familiar some who have been sucked into the surging whirlpool of dissipation, and -c svvept away forever from all prospect of prosperity and fame, Men who lead lives of nervous activity and energy are in special danger. Uneen- sciously they acquire the habit. of striving to tone up their vital force by the stimulus of drink, and often fail to realize their peril until it is too late. No nzan can tell beforehand what its course or rate of de- velopment may ha in his pat`, tioular case, That man :had better make a stand naw, and, invoking every social, moral, and scientific aid that he can' command, seek to deliver hire - self from itis peril in time, Samaria Prescription sup- plies the system with the sub.. stance that 11. lackswhen it craves for alcoholic stimu- lants. It corrects the condition which excites alcoholic thirst, It expels the cause or alcoholic disease, whether inherited or induced by excessive drains on. either physic a1or mental energy. It acts through this blood upon every part of the systen-i, and once taken there will never be the need nor de- sire for taking strong drink. Samaria Prescription is a. wholesome and infallible pro.. tion to the man who is just beginning to seek for false sol.: ace, false strength, or false in- spiration in " the cup." It has restored hundreds who have wasted 'years of their lives through the habit, and has saved and rehabilitated the characters of many who had been given up as wrecks. With thousands of warning ex- amples of the curse of liquor before their eyes, moderate drinkers persist in imagining that they can trifle with the serpent without being stung. Alcoholic desire or thirst is an unnatural want, and Samaria Prescription corrects the con- dition that inspires it. It does this from the first day it is used, and it never fails in its wond- rous work to cure a man of the liquor habit so that he will stay cured. Ths moderate drinker in his moderate indulgence confesses a merely moderate degree of moral force. He thinks he is strong because he never gets drunk. He thinks he can quit the indulgence whenever he wants to. But who ever heard of one of these moderate drink- ers abstaining from their fa -i.40 vorite tipple for any great length of time. No man can keep away from the stuff in whose system the desire for liquor is once lodged. Samaria Prescription eradicates the cause of this want from the system and substitutes the healthy abhorrence for the smell and taste of liquor in a man, Mrs. C. H—, Guelph, writes : What a Creamery Wi11 Do. The operation of a well patronized and well conducted creamery in a com- munity where it was before unknown works a revolution In all directions on the farm. It lightens the labors of the wife and mother; it secures a monthly. certain cash income; it restores impov- erished acres; it means more and bet- ter pigs, more and better calves, a more even distribution of farm work all the year. It will do more for a community than a new railroad and will without fail lift a chattel mort- gaged and down at the heels grain raiser on to a plane of independence and comfort, while it and what nat- urally grows out of such• e. system of agriculture will vitalize his depleted soil and in a few years double. its productive capacity. This is neither theorizing nor fanciful speculation, but a plain statement of cause and effect. It has been done and is being done all over the west. Watery flutter. One of the objects of a good butter maker whose butter goes onthe av- erage market is to retain a relatively large amount of water in the 'butter without having it appear watery. In determining the moisture in two cam-. plea of butter recently it was found that the Sample that appeared to be dry and waxy contained considerably more water than the sample from which the water spurted when pressed against the trier with the thumb. hliik Separator.

Hearing of your marvellous remedy for the cure of drunkenness, which I could give my husband secretly, I decided to try it. I procured a package and mixed it in his food and coffee, and, as the remedy was odorless and tasteless, he did not know what it was that so quickly relieved his craving for liquor. He soon began to pick up flesh, his appetite tor solid food returned, he stuck to his work regularly, and we now have a happy home. After he was completely cured I told him of the deception I had practiced on him, when he acknowledged that ithad been his saving, as he had not the resolution to break off of his own accord.
