Winter Dairying.
The chief advantages of winter over
miner dairying, says a writer in the
m ,tr/ Gentleman, consist in having
jtrreater part of the season’s make of
Jiter to sell when the price is highest;
having less trouble to make and inar
it a good article in cool weather; in
akin" the milking season considerably

msiderably greater; and in being able

Ives to eat giass in the summer, and
dure the rigors of the ensuing winter,
he disadvantage is in having to feed
ore meal and bran to make good win
r butter and to keep up a full flow of
ilk till grass comes, when the meal can
i taken away without the yield falling
i though if it be continued the flow
ill increase. Feeding liberally with
sal and bran makes winter butter cost
ole than grass butter, but the higher
ices of the winter market more than
v the additional expense for feed.
The Question of Sheep Washing.
English authorities are divided as to
eadvantages of sheepjwashing. Most
the wool received there from France,
i Plata and South Australia comes un
ished, and packed in its natural grease.
the latter countries the wool is of
ore importance than the meat, and it
ij be reasonably assumed that grow
iknow and follow the best plan of
aling with the fleeces. Where sheep
ikept ou grasslands there is no press
l necessity for washing, but where
ey are fed on tillage lands, say the
iglisli farmers, it is almost absolutely
mtial to remove the soil and dirt. The
ishing of sheep always < arries away
m the skin of the animal a natural
r soap called suint, which is very
able in water, with the result that the
ol becomes harsh and dry and re
nted in value for many manufacturing
■poses. I n washed wool should be a
Bible advantage to the grower, as it
■ht to fetch a larger price, and the
Hof washing would be saved. In
K where sheep must be washed, it is
■bab e to perform the operation in a
■d or tub, rather than in a running

j
cease growing should prompt farmer*
to devote a space to rye every season, but
its usefulness extends further. The se
vere coldof the hardestwinters will not in
jure it,and early in the spring, long before
grass begins to grow, rye appears in its
green condition to afford a supply of suc
culent herbage to the stock at a time
when it is most needed. It allows the
stock the privilege of eating off the
early growth, aud when the grass ap- ‘
pears, and the grass is no longer re
quired, it will grow out again and make
a crop of grain. It can then, in early
spring, if preferred by the farmer, be
ploughed under instead of being allowed
to seed, and it will provide an excellent
manure for the corn croo.
In one respect rye is a cheap crop
because it requires no land for its growth,
to a certain extent. That is, if the seed
is sown in the fall on land intended for
corn in the spring, and the rye turned
in before planting corn, the rye simply
holds the land that would otherwise be
unoccupied during the winter. It is
also excellent on land intended for pota
toes, and as it assists in keeping down
weeds it saves much labor in that re- ,
spect.
As rye can be pastured at nearly all
stages ol growth and can be turned un- j
der as a green manurial agent at any
time, the farmer who fails to sow it will
deprive himself and his stock of a mo3t
valuable plant, aud as it can be seeded
down at any time at this season the land
for that purpose should be prepared with
out delay. Of course it thrives best on
rich land, but even the poorest soil
should be sowed to rye rather than to
leave it unoccupied.— Neva York Herald, j
Swine-Breeding for Size.
The fancies of men do so vary that it
is not po sible at any given period to say
in what shape or in what condition a
given commodity may be most salable.
The time was when cream cheese would
not sell to consumers, if under one year
old or approaching that age. Now, rich
cream, lresh from the hands of the maker
is esteemed a luxury. It is not long since
the center of the berry was thought best
for producing superior flour. Now, that
which is obtained from close proximity
to the hull, or bran, is counted best of
all.
It is within the memory of many that
the large breed of swine, notably the
Poland Chinas and Chester Whites, got
their “send-off” to quite a degree through
possessing large size. The same was true
of the beef breeds of cattle, notably
short horns. We remember well when
it was counted a serious defect in a short
horn beast not to be large —extra large
symmetry not being considered of first
importance, as now. As to swine, the
ancients bred for size, and history tells
us that great weights and extraordinary
thickness of meat were bred for and at
tained.
Prior to the great depreciation that oc
curred to live-stock-growing and general
agriculture during the middle ages- say
up to the sixteenth century—great
weights were attained to. \ ari o tells of
a cut of swine meat that was sent by a
peasant to Volumnius, a Senator, that
measured a “foot and three fingers in
thickness.” Another Roman historian
mentions a Lusitanian hog, whose meat,
when cut up, measured one foot and
three inches in thickness.
We have accounts of gre»f weights,
approaching the period w, the im
provements in farm stock toT-". place. A
specimen of the old Berkshire Dreed is
stated to have attained the weight of
1280 pounds. In 1774 a hog was killed,
having a reported weight of 1100 pounds,
with a length of close to ten feet, and a
height of four feet and five inches. The
writer, when a boy, was in Cincinnati,
Ohio, at the time of the exhibition of a
spotted hog, brought to the city from
Butler County, Ohio, whose weight wa3
said to he 1323 pounds. A small flat
boat was built, on which this hog was
floated down the river to New Orleans,
being exhibited on the way. This was
about 183vt. This hog was doubtless of
the Poland-CLina sort.
Size, other things being equal, was,
not many years since, to quite a degree
the thing that governed the price in our
leading markets. But it is different now
—at any rate, it is to quite a degree.
Yet, should the exactions of the market
change, calling again for very large
hogs, swine are so readily molded, and
breed so rapidly, that the caprices of the
markets can be met to an extent not at
tainable by any other class of live stock, j
As is well known to breeders, there are, ;
in pretty much every litter, pigs that
are shaped for a greater growth than
others in the same litter, and nothing is
more certain than that by selecting
these, breeding of like kind, not akin,
upon them, large size would be promptly
secured.— Prairie Farmer.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Plant cucumbers for late pickles.
Near the close of a journey let the ,
horse walk.
P.ran will pay the milk seller, but oats
the butter-maker.
Never wash a horse with cold water
when he is heated.
Use land in which some cultivated •
crop grew last year.
The cropping process diminishes the
supply of plant foods.
The humble cow pea does not receive
the attention it merits.
Sheep are often injured by roaming
through tall, wet grass.
It is inhuman to allow a sharp-spurred
rooster to run with hens.
If the hog pasture gets short this
month, roots and pumpkins can be used
to supplement it.
Ducks may be profitably raised on :
farms wher.e there are nO streams or ponds !
of water for tnem.
Do not use coal oil or grease of any j
kind on a sitting hen; it will prevent
the eggs from hatching.
The evening milk has been proven by i
recent English dairy tests to contain
more solids thau the morning milk.
The net food may be taken at about
two-th’rds the value of the ration. The
balance is the value of the manure.
The dairyman has a good chan e to
do some independent thinking on politi
cal matters this fall. When he has
thought sufficiently let him vote intelli
gently.
A poor cow in the dairy is like a dull
tool in a carpenter’s eyes. It requires
the expenditure of a large percentage of

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
More Apples.
Were every family to put in practice
the following sensible advice of Profess
or Faraday, a marked gain in the health
of its members would be the result: Let
every family in autumn lay in from two
to ten or more barrels, and it will be to
them the most economical investment
in the who e range of culinary supplies.
A raw, m,ellow apple is digested in an
hour and a half, while boiled cabbage
requires five hours. The most healthful
desert that can be placed on the table is
baked apple. If taken freely at break
fast, with coarse bread, and without
meat or flesh of any kind, it has an ad
mirable effect on the general system, often
removing constipation, correcting acidi
ties, and cooling off febrile conditions
more effectually than the most approved
medicines. If families could be induced
to substitute the apple—sound, ripe and
luscious-for the pies, cakes, candies aud
other sweetmeats, with which children
are too often stuffed, there would be a
diminution of doctor’s bids sufficient in
a single year to lay up a stock of this de
icious fruit fora season’s use.
Liaundry Methods in Holland.
The washerwomen of Holland and
Belgium, so proverbial for their clean
and beautifully white linen, use refined
borax as a washing powder, in the pro
portion of a half pound of borax powder
to ten gallons of water. This saves
soap nearly cue-half. For clothes, as
eutfs and shirt bosoms, requiring tc be
made stiff, a stronger solution is neces
sary. Borax being a neutral salt does
not in the smallest degree iu jute the tex
ture of the linen. Next comes starching.
A very “nice preparation for glossy starch
is made in this way Pound two ounces
of fine white gum arabic to a powder,
put it into a pitcher and pour on it a
pint or more of boiling water, cover the
pitcher and let it stand all night. In the
morning pour it carefully from the dregs
into a clean bottle, cork it and keep it
for use. A table-spoonful of this gum
water should be poured into a pint of
starch made in the usual way, and the
linen starched with it. In ironing col
lars, cuffs, etc., rub them before ironing,
with a clean, white towel dampened in
soft water. Rub the iron on a cotton
bag, in which is a good-sized lump of
beeswax. The bosom of a shirt should
be the last part ironed.— Courier Journal.
Home Dressmaking. ,
It is now very easy for girls to make
their own dresses, for that which pre
sents the largest difficulties is all done
for them by a new system; a measure is
taken, applied to a lining, and an accu
rate waist pattern obtained while a lady
is waiting, the whole operation requir
ing less time than it sometimes takes
to get change. Foundation skirts are
also made which only need the pleating
upon the edge, and the material draped
over them; in every other respect they
are shaped and finished for wear, includ
ing the insertion of steels and a small
“mattress.”
The skirts of this season’s dresses are
very simple, and not intricate in the
way of draperies. The foundation skirt
is from two and one-quarter to two aud
one-half yards wide, and it always has a
pleating at the edge. But this is not
much seen, as the upper drapery is so
long that it nearly covers it, the use
of it being mainly to keep the plain
drapery from setting in too flatly
over the feet. The newest way of
making the back drapery is to sew it
into the back, with large plaits, which
hang down in folds, the drapery falling
straight to the edge of the skirt. The
only variation to this arrangement is that
the back breadth is lifted up aud caught
here and there with a stitch, to add
slightly to its fullness. The foundation
skirt consists of a gored front breadth, a
gored breadth on each side, and a straight
w dth at the back ungored. A small
mattress about seven inches square is
worn, and one or two steels. These last
are no longer put in in a straight line,
but form an arch upwards; the top steel
coming about six inches below the waist
in the center, and about twelve inches at
each end. This is a much more com
fortable way of putting in the steels
than the old one.— Housewife.

No Romanov Whatever Nowadays in
Finding a Husband.
A man asked me the other day how
women find husbands. It was suoli a
puzzling question to me that I constitu
ted myself a committee of one and went
round among a lot of married women to
see how their husbands proposed to
them.
There wasn’t one who had ever had
an absolute romance of love! There
wasn’t one whose husband had gotten
down on his knees, caught the loved
one’s band and besought of her, unless
she wished to see him stark and cold
with a broken heart, that she would wed
him! There wasu’t one who had ever
kuown the rapture of being held, with
a pistol at her head, while the brave
lover pronounced that unless she accep
ted him, he would kill her and then
himself! There w sn't one who had
been gained even at the dagger’s point,
and not a single wife had been drugged
and wedded while in a semi conscious
state!
Dorothy,l confess to a certain amount
of disappointment. The nearest I could
get as to how the question of marriage
had been reached was always that they
bad drifted into it.
This is deliciously vague, but it seems
to mean that they knew the man, that
he had the privilege of holding their
hands and criticising their frocks for
some time,and that then,when there was
no special excitement in Wall street, a
presidential election wasn’t going on,
nor anything else that was distracting,
they suggested that it was about time
for them to get married.
This is the general experience. And 1
think it a sin and a Bhame. Few women
have more than one opportunity to
marry, and that ought to be accompanied
by all the frills and frivolities that tl e
best novel writer dreamed of. The
Howells and James business in ti e
way of classic love making may be most
desirable for nervous people; it may
oalm and soothe them, but when cham
pagne and love are offered it wants to
do sparkling, and it wants to taste ns if
snoh nectar had never been offered be
fore.

Before and After.
A few days ago as a Ridge Road oar
was ooming up Lake avenue, the driver
■topped on being signaled by a young
man on a crossing not far from Driving
Park avenue, says the Rochester Democrat,
The young man was accompanied by a
rather pretty young woman, who was
dressed in a light, airy summer attire,
»nd carried a fancy-colored sun parasol.
The young man jumped aboard the car
first, and rushed inside, securing the
only seat vacant, leaving the young
woman to follow as best she could. Of
oonrse every one expected that he would
give u ) his seat to his lady, but he did
not do so, and she.after standing awhile
holding on to a strap, concluded to have
a seat anyway, and, without a word of
warning, plumped down on the lap of
her escort, saying as she t did so: “I’m
as tired as you are, darling, and you will
have to hold me until I get a seat.”
He gave a grunt of the hog kind, and
told her in plain English that “she
oould stand or sit on the floor for all he
cared, but he would not hold her.” At
this several male occupants of the car
offered their seats to the young wrnnau,
but she declined their offer ana® aid:
“He is as able to hold me now as he was
before we were married, and I will sit
here where I am. ” The passengers were
np to this time silently smothering their
laughter, but the last was too much for
them, and as one remarked: “The car
will be thrown off the track if we don’t
stop laughing so hard.” Realizing the
fact that he was making a target of him
self, the young man rose hastily, nearly
throwing his darling wife on the floor,
and made a rush for the door, saying as
he did so: “Yon take my seat; I’ll walk
home.” and left the car. The wife was
not dismayed in the least, but sat there
quietly enjoying the fun as well as did
the rest of the passengers.
