I went down to Situp son's to -day. The wind blew lik Anger itself, The now ,trifted int the stable where he, was Milking and the corn -stalks befOre the cattle went down into their stOniachs much as if propelled by, the .wind. 0 course amebid that eante inthrough the erevieas had to be driver out of the animals by the ,xtra consump- tion of food. -Ventilation? Yes, of -course, 1 believe in. it, but with the .stable opening out on a. barn floor, with 16 feet posts under the 11816118, there is always ventila- tion enouglz to ensure the health of the animals. No, Simpson's barn was better battened and warmer than nine -tenths of trim - of his neighborg. What ere their barns good for? Do Oa know how- they are , made 7—side4.1 up with green hemlock boards, which; no matter how closely they are nailed to each other, shiiiik ! under one Summer's sun, so that , the cracks between thern are' threeldarters of an inch wide, and the snow -drifts if) and covers the hay, melting there if it becomes warm, and making the hay musty. How ranch a little peteh- ing will save ! - And how a few lei- sure moments properly spent now will add to the condition of the cows in the Spring ! You'll find Crum- ple's barn battened ; yo,u will net find his cows lying in a .stable with -their backs covered with now. Nor does the manure in Crumple's barn freeze often; and if it does it freezes cn a.good litter of dry melt, and the stable shovel's' edge is not bat- tered up trying to loosen it from the floor. Somehow t gives Crumple a more contented feeling to go into his stables after having visited soine of the Open -mirk barns of his neigh - bora Is it vanity, or egotism, or pride? No matter What name you call it by, it is a profitable thing to cultivate. MENTIONING MUCK reminds me that .1 had a talk: with Perneroy about muck this last Fall. He didn't see what I could dowith so much of it. I* asked him if he had noticed that. my piles of manure in the spring were considerable larger than. -his, although 1 kept less stock l lie had. Had he noticed - where the- slops from My' kitchen were carried by a pipe? lie had notif he had looked he would have found a pile Of muck under a shed elose to my pig pens and not far limn the privies. - The pens of the pigs are well supplied, with muck and straw. When: they are cleaned ant their Con ten ts go under that Shed and are piled up in alter- nate layers of muck and manure. In the privies are always kept a half barrel of muek olaich is scattered in the vaults daily. Tnese vaults, their contents being thus deodorized and rendered portable, are emptied mite manth, alid the deposits incorpor- ated with the, manure under the shed. Into this same pile•goes the hen manure. All of this pile, as it accumulates, is pitched or shoveled -.-- over onee a month. By corn plant- ing time it is .as good a Pile of °mama as ever came from Peru. It ttf , is used as, guano is ased. Wherever 1 want care or any other grain to I germinate quickly into tile hill,with a little soil over it ou which the seed is planted, goes a half shovel tol of thisyboine-made guano. Thus I -make a -hot-bed for each hill. Thus 1 srure quick germination and. a healthy, vigorous start; and the cern quickly slides out of the reach of worms and other ills it is heir to. PLASTER AND ASHES are both used as.top-dressing. Don't I mix ashes with Su(h manure? NO, Sir! I keep the ashes chy in my stone ash -house, and apply them direct to the soil. Mixed with such -a compost: especially if there is much -moisture in it, they will leach more or less. They add nothing to the , value of the compost—or rather they are not essential id it—and lose. of their own qualities. • Plaster may go into such t compost ; but with plenty of muck as an absorbent, it is not necessary. So 1 plefer its direct application to the soil. HELP LY THE HOUSE. This is a great ,problem in the country as well as ni town.' The women folk are worked to' death. The associated dairy system .bas re- lieved them somewhat in a, few lo7 °alines. But this dairy system,, which sprang' up in our neighbor. hood like a rdcket, has gone down like a stick, and the milk is made into butter on the fartm. What is the reason ? Cate reason is the low price of 'cheese the past two or three years. Another cause is of a graver sort One of my • neighbors—a bustling, active, scheming man— kept a large dairy of cows andeltook • his milk to the &atm y, His cows kept up the flow of milk wonderful- ly in all kinds of weather, even dar- ing the hot dry morale. Finally, this neiglabor Sold his farm and re- moved frbm the neighborhood. His serving -maid went to live with and 0. work for another neighbor. The cows were milked, the Milk e.anned readyto sevird 'to the factory. She 'started for the pliant and got a pail water. When asked what she was going to do with it, she atachtimed "Why, don't you cool ybur milk before you send it to the fictory 7 always had to do it at Mr. for they told me the milk would spoil if ie was not cooled I* . So Mr. Blank, who thus cooled Ms milk, was called back into the neighborhood and compelled to set- tle for "cooling the milk," the girl stating that it often took two or three pailfuls to copl a can. Another servant girl said she Was always instructed to rinse out her pails, after milking, with cold water, and pour the milk th.us got off the pails inip the cins. Now such hired help is sometimes very inconvenient. It has had a good deal to do with disb qoaragina our cheese, manufac• hirers and cheese factories ; and it has disgusted honest folk who were so unsophisticated and unscientific as to believe that cooling milk after that manner is dishonest.. So the factories have stopped business, and the milk [Mat be set, skimmed, cream churned, pitns washed and scalded, etc., etc., and the poor far- mers' wives and their dalighters (such of them as remain at home and are willing to work) are back in the piimitive way of hard wortc which obtained before the days of cheese factories. The qUe,stion. is, What is going to be done abaut it 7 Farm News and Notes.. In England, this year, 1,882 head of short -horn cattle have been sold for aboutl$555,000.
