It id too true that =teas we adopt The improvements of the day and look carefully after our interests, we ellen 'be left in the background as to quality and profit. But why is it that western creamery butter brings a better price? Ntee are told that it is because of ite eniformity of quality. The butter is Made from day to day, from week to week under the same conditions, and alwaysefree from anything that would Impart unpleasant flavors. Milk set in a. farmer's kitchen or in any place where it will absorb unpleasant odors from cooking vegetables, from tobacco smoke or from clothing tully charged with the odor of the stables, cannot make butter free from unpleasant fla- vor. We complain of low prices re- ceived when we ourselves are to blame. The Bayer of the butter is af- fected by the feed of the cows. We lay the blame at the door of the dairy iwelnan, when he who feeds the covs is responsible. Bitter Milk. Bitter ilk is a matter of frequent me eurrence every fall and winter, or soon after the enwS are off from grazing. It is caused, first, by bitter herbs in the hay-sebh as May weed, rag weed, john's wort, etc. -and also by the use ef too much over -ripe food, such as straw, corn stover, or elate -cut hay. It never occurs when cows are fed on good feed, and are thieving, or even holding their own, and are kept com- fortably warm. It can be avoide, first, lie^ correcting the ..error in feed- ing and exposure; and, secondly, by scalding the milk when it is first drawn, by setting it in pans over a kettle of boiling water till the skin which forms on its top is well wrin- kled, and then setting it away to cool for the cream to rise. This treatment will drive out the cause of the bitter flavor_ and improve the butter and make it easy to churn. A eeee Word for Toads. Tbads, according to Prof. Miles, nye tamest entirely upon slugs, caterpil- lars, beetle§ and other insects, making their rounds at night, when the farm- er is asleep -and the birds, too -and the insects are supposed to be having, their own way.

The amount of ma uuxe thus made has enabled Inra to improve the fertility of a poor farm be 100 acres, so that in 20 years the hay crop had Increased from 20 to 300 tons. The cattle are kept in a well - arranged stable, and are let out into the yard an hour or two mornings and afternoons, but they generally ap- pear glad to return to their quarters., By this process, one acre enables him to support three or four cows. They are fed on grass, green oats, corn fod- der, barley, etc., which are seven at intervals -through the, spring and sum- mer months, to be cut as required; but he remarks that his moSt vaittable crop is his manure crop. Each cow pretences three and a half cords of solid, and three cords of liquid Immune or six and a half cords in all. Five to eight miles from Boston, eueh manure is worth from $5 to $8 a cord. From this estimate, he has come to the con- clusion that a. cow's, manure may be made as valuable as her milk. Superpftosp1ine. A Western journal remarks that al- most every fernier hits upon his own premises one cif the best superphos- phate manures known. The elements are found in the old bon% scattered carelessly over yard, garden and farm, and e,ommon wood ashes, generally al- lowed to go to waste. If the bones are gathered, placed under shelter, theroughly mixed with three or four times their bulk of ashes, kept moist with water enough to make a good lye and occasionelly stirred and mixed, they will, in a few months, become so tender and friable that they may be pounded into powder, and in this state they form a valuable manure, better than the average of the commercial fertilizers that seem so 'expensive. The ashes, of course, should be mixed with the banes. The fertilizer thus made should be applied by the handful in the hill of corn, and its effects may, be early seen in the deep, rich green of the growing plant. This may seem like small busing to a farmer who has but little Spare time, but it is by ipist such economy that our best farms be:mine so profitable, and it is by lack of such economy that so many farms fail to yield even a comfortable living. Poultry Mestere. rlity fowis evill make, in their roost - tug !muse alone, ten hundredweight per annum of the best manure in the world. 1Ience fifty fowls will make more than enough manure for an acro of land, seven hunclredNveight of guano being the usual quantity applied per acre, and poultry manure 'being even „ richer than guano -in ammonia and fer- tilizing salts. No other, stock will give an equal return in this way; and these figures demand careful attention from the large farmer. The manure, before asing, :Linda be mixed with twice its bulk of earth, and then allowed to stand in a heap, covered with a few inelieS oC earth, tili decomposed ihrongliont,, when it makes the very • dost manure which can be lead. en \Nee xeee, Nene neneneene ' ' neettent \ Castoria is for litfOaltS and, Children.
