It 1b nmazlng how cnreleBS sorao mon

barn mado ns wnim os lutubcr nnd
bulldlng paper cnn niako it, but tboro
aro a grcat mnuy of tbo otbcr kind in
Vermont, eomo of tbem built two or
moro gcncrations ogo. Most of tlicm
have bccn repnlrcd, tboy would hnrdly
bavo bccn stauding bad tboy not bcon,
bnt Btlll tboy aro old. A mon mny bo
obligcd toueo bucIi n bnrn,but bo is not
obliged to bavo a cold stablc. Popcr,
nolle and lumbcr aro not ns costly as
cold places for stock to stand in. It is
not r.very man w bo bas tbo knnck of
"Hxing up" tbinge; it isngood tbing
for n farmer to bavo, and if bo docs not
bavo it, bo bad bettcr cbango work
yihb a nolgbbor wbo bas, and gct tbo
old Btable rtpalred. Making n good
floor 1b a waim-wcatber job, bo wo will
Pbb tbat over. Look around for somo
old windowB, if jou cannot gct new
oncB. Tbo new oncs aro often cheap
ost in tbc cnd, for tbc old putty is con
atantly crumbling in most caseB, but
thc old can bc rcputticd, new glass put
in, and tbe Btablc made light. It pays
to bavo doublo wlndows in a etnblc or
abtutc. In frosty weather tbo einplo
windowe are bo covcrcd witb frost tbat
half tbcir ligbt is diamcd. Tben a
vflBt u mount of cold gcts in tbrougb
Einplo windows. A sloblo sbould of
coursc bo on tbo sunny eido of thc barn,
eo tbe cows will get all of tbe Bunohiue
tbey cnn. Tbe ba; and straw can woll
be on tbe nortb sidc, but put tbe cows
on tbe Bunny sido and if tbo stablo is
not tbcre, cbango tbings nround bo ns
to gct Ibtm into tbc sun.
M )Bt of tbo old barns wcre opcn in
front of tbe cattlc, tbo feed floor was
opcn to tbe raftcrs nnd nll tbe big
cracks in tbe bnys and ecaffolds, and
sucb a Btable was like a rolrigcrator.
It would frceze tbo manure into solid
cbunks, and a crowbar and pickax bad
to bo ueed in cleaning it out. Make
tbe stablo warm bebind, uec cbaff and
every dcvico to do it. Tbo objcction
to cbbff is tbat it makes too good quar
ters for micc and rnts. Dry Bawdust is
better in tbat respect. Kcep tbe frost
ont in some woy. Make double doore,
UBe tbutters or thick curtains for tbo
windowe, and do not leave the uncover
ed glasB to cool (IT tbe stablo all nigbt.
Do tbe same witb every glaea Bingle
window on the premiees, where it is
ny object to securo warmtb.
But tbere nre cnaeB wbere tbo door
or Bomctbing clee ougbtto be left open.
Go into some of tbo modern barna and
you feel at once thatthey are too wnim,
too close. It is fnr cneier to make n
Btable warm tbau it is lo give the cattlo
proper ventilation. It ecems to be tbe
most puzzling tbing to keep cattle
warm and yet give tbem pure air. The
plan advocated in the Watcdman
somo timo ago by II. L. Bixby lookB
like an ideal one. It was briifly to
bave tbo stablo as warm and close ns
you plcnee, and tben let tbe cow's head
project into the pure cold air. Some
tbing like an adjuBtable curtaln was to
be faBtened around ber neck to keep
the cold from bcr body. This would
hi'lp to ward off tuberculosis and eolvc
tbe ventilation problem to perfcction.
But the cow could not bave wnter in
front of ber in tbo Btable to drink as it
would ,be Bure to iretze in veiycold
wiather, unless tbo fctding floor wbb
made warm. Tbat would bring up
again tbo old vexed quesiion of how to
secure watmtb and ventilation.
Tho Fecdiiifr Stnudards.
It would pay every dairyman to be
como tboroughly conversant with tbo
modern feeding Blnndnrds. A great
deol haa been writton about tbem,
mucb bas been snid at the farmors' in
stitutes about feeding, but bundreds of
farmers do not daro to go it alono. It
looks liko a very Bimplo thing to tako n
bulletin nnd mako up n woll balanccd
ration, but tbo grcat majority of farm
ors do not nttempt it. Tboy ftcl tbo
need of some guide nnd n grcat many
of tbem inatcad of sitting down and
figuring out n balanced ration from tho
fcedB tbey bava and can buy, sit down
and write to eotno cditor, BBkingbim
to do tbo work for tbem. So it bas bo
come a common tbing in certain farm
papers to seo scores of queations bb
wbat combinationB of feeds to uso in
glven cascs. Tbls is doubtleBB all right
but it would bo good practico for every
cattle fccder to mako up rations from
bis fccds, and thcn tcst tbem by fctd
ing tbe cows, wtighing and tcsting tho
milk, and going into the flno work of
cattle fetding. Thcro is usually timo
for bucIi work in tho winter, and most
of it can bo dono in tbo houso whoro it
I warm, partofit in the long evcningB.
It would pay vastly botter than hold
inu n cbair down in pomo vlllugo storo
or worso place, would trnin hand,cyo
and mind. Ilt ally eucb practico is wbat
ovury modern dairyman needs. If n
dozcn or less farmers would joln to
gelbor in this work, got cacb n Bpring
acalo to woigb tbo milk nt wholcsale

tboy would bavo somotbing worth talk

thora n good stnrt in tbo way of gotting
bold of somo of tbo good thiugs bolng
brought out by tbo ngrlcultural collcgcs
and csperlment Btatlons.
It docs sccm too bad to bavo bo
mnny farmors loso all tbo good of tbe
milllons of dollars bcing oxpondcd by
tbo governmont in obtniningnnd giving

all for tbo lnck of gotting started on

bnrd for tbem to lcnrn mucb from

need is to hnvo the starch of prcjudice
taken out of tbem, tbnt sort of tbing

of montal teacbiug, of settlng one'b

Bnirjiug in lYIntcr.
Winter is coming and it ia now sca
sonable to talk about winter dairying.
Along in tbe middlo of winter tbe
dairyman very oiten complains tbat tbc
business does not pay, and especially
if blB cows were fresh in tho apring.
Tbe cmall quantity of butter seems in
signiQcant, tbough it sella for nlmost
twico ns much as in tbo Bummcr. Yet
groceries nnd otber supplies must be
purchaeed in tbo wintcr as well as in
tbe Bummer, and if we let tbo dairy
run down wo must draw upon tbe bank
account or run in debt, and in eitber
caBe tbe farm gets tbe credit of not pay
ing. If wo manago to bavo fresh cowb
in the f all , feed tbem liberally on roilk
producing food, give freo access to pure
water, keep tbem in comfortable,
bealtby, well-ventilated quartera, kcep
tbe milk nt an even temperaturo ot
sisty to sixty-Qve degrces, churn often
enougb and witb cream nt tbo right
tcmperature, plenty of good buttor can
be made nll winter, nnd it commands a
a good price usually. Keep tho stnblc
tboroughly clean, dry, well lighted,
well ventilated, and comfortable for n
person to stay in. This is not expen
sive. It is tbe ncglectcd, poorly-rnan-oged
Btable tbat coats. Cowsconflned
to the Btablo twenty-two to twenty
tbree hours a day muat be well bedded,
and tbo Btable muBt be well drained.
Somo good absorbent must bo provided
to tako up tbe ammonia and used freo
ly. Land plastcr can be used for thif
vry prnfltably. Dry eartb or muck is
good. Ench cow should bave 1,000 cu
bic feel of air spaco. Cow Btnblcs
ought to be nino or ten feet high
Winter dairying is no business for a
lazy man or one wbo will neglect it for
ai y reaBon. l ut for the actlvo, care
ful, painstaking man, wbo will attend
to it every day and keep everytblng
ship-sbapo snd moving, it is alwnys
proQtablc. EnBilugo or roots is thc
priruo food (or winter, but if you bave
no silo or roots, ubo elops mnde of mill
products, clenn, brigbt dover bay or
well-preserved corn-fodder, and if shred
ded it will be all tbe better. If you are
not prepared to do nll this, do not de
pend upon winter dairying for proQt.

Ought Cows lo bo Fcd Wlillo
Ilclng Milkcdl
A Fronch ogrlcultural writor ralsos
tbis quostlon, nnd decldoa in tho nega
tive, givlng tbo followlng rcasons:
"Tiio secretton ot milk is nccuiinriy
under tbo control of tbo cow. If n
dnlry band fulli sick tho supply of milk
from tho cows wlll often dlmlulsli bc
cnuso tho onimal can rotaln or parl

ger. If eallng wliou bolng mtlKou tno

tentlou wlll bo givon to eoting. rulbor
thnn to tbo giving down of thoir milk.
Tho geuoral opinioii is tbat during
pregnnucy, tbo cow ought to bo loft to
acomplelo Btnto of repose, nnd fcd only
nfter being mllked."
flero is Bomething worth thinking
nbout. It is truo tbat tho quantiiy of
milk ia to a great cxtont under tho con
trol of the cow. Tboro is roason to bo
llovo tbat oven witbln limits tbo por
contago of butter fnt is under tho samo
control, and houco it is a very impor
tnnt quostion how to pereuado tbo cow
lo givo down tho quantiiy of milk, nnd
of tbo licliost poaaiLlo to hor. Wo say
"porBUade" for tbere is no way possiblo
of forcing hor. Thopointis to concen
trato bor attention on tho ono nll-impor-tant
mattor of giving n full llow, with
tho full percentago of buttor fat. Tbo
abovo we beliovo to bo a correct stato
ment of tho known fncts in the cnec,
but thero is room for n wide diffvrenco
of opinion betwcen men nnd men nnd
cows and cows as to tbe bcst method of
perBuasinn. It 1b ngreed tbat tbere ia
no persuasion in tho boot beel or tho
milk stool applied on tho back, nor is
thero anv bencQi in ubIiic cdbs words,
nlthouuh wo bavo board it said tbat
wbiRtling and tho "mcrry heart that
doetb good like n mediclne" nro potent
witb tho cow whilcmilking is going on.
IlavinK forKOtteu how to whistle, wo
dou'i know how that ia. Tho point to
be (kcided is will tho cow civo hor
mind to tho business of eiving down
wben sho has a flno mcesof feed before
her, or is tbe nttitude of impationt
waltitiK and exptctancy tbo-bestpor-BUader?
Wo cun see at once tbat if tho
cow is cxpectint: feed and does not get
it, Blio is not likely to keep her mind on
the Biinject of Kivins dowrj; If, bow
ever, Bho has been nccustomed to havo
an elcua'it feed as soon aa milking is
over wo would expect her to give duo
attention and give down ns fast bb pos-
Bible. Tho main thing, tt seems to us,
is how to cet the cow's undivided atten
tion to tbe supremo work of tho mo
motit, tbat of giving down ricb milk
and lotB of it.
Havo our readers ever tested tho dif
forent mtthods in n tcneral way, and,
if bo, wbat bave been tbo results? Is
it really a mattcr of ruii-' importanco
than it nppears to bo at 1 rat bight. Wo
tbink it quite true that with tbe odvent
of the new milkcr cows may begin to
fail in tbeir milk, bolh in quantity and in
richncss. We are quit sure tbere are
some mou who wouid put the cows dry
by tbeir bad metbods of milking. Wo
can rcadily see how a badlempered
man or a profane man migb't decreaso
tho yield twenty flve or thirty per cent.
Tbo milker must be "cn rapport;" tbat
is, in full sjmpnthy with tho cow, if
she is to do her best nt ber pnil. Now
can that sympathy, that cooperation,
that combination of efforts for the ac
complisliment of a dt-flnito purpose bo
best' securcd by nllowing ber to eat
whilo being milked or not? Tbat is
tbe question on wbich we would liko to

Make Butter to Sult tho Consnmcr,
Ono thlng sbould always be borno ia
rriintl bv tho person mnking butter to
Bell. Tbo butter Ib for somebody ele
to eat, and it is for your intcrest to suit
them, whetber it just suits your tastt
or not. Ilabit bas a great deal to do
with our likes and dislikea. You may
havo been accustomed to Bwect-creatn
butter; if bo, you probably like tbat
best. Or, you may have got used to
ealing butter mado from very rip
crcnm, and the butter not wasbcd to
expel tho buttermilk, causing it to
have a very decided fiUvor and taste,
and so you look upon flne, dtlicate flav
ored butter bb insipld. Or, you may
like little or no Balttng or bigh Bslting;
light color or bigh color. But all thie
is of no con-cquenco. It is no mattcr
wbat you like. You want to make it to
suit your cuBtomers and jou want your
cuBtoraers to ou tnose wno are ame anu
willing to pay a good price for what
suits tbem. If tbo customer wants
eweet-cream butter, make it; if unsalt
ed, make it bo; if be desires it bigh
salted, salt it bigb, and bo on. Alwaye
make it tbe samo for tbe cuslomers.
They are getting tastes formed which
you cnn ma o it prcfltable to gratify.
It is not the provinco of the maker of
diiry butter to try to educate tbe tastes
of the people who buy butter, but rath
er to cater to their tastes when be flnds
out wbat tbey are. If one is making
butter to puton tbe geueral market ha
wants to make what the market dc
mands and will pay the best price for.
The beBt way to learn tbe market de
mand is to bave tbo butter inspected
by an expert judge who is a dealer and
knows wbat takes best in tbe market.
Ask him to criticise it and tell you just
wbat be tbiuka of it; and don't get
angry at wbat be tells you, but try to
proflt by wbat be says, Tbe object ot
thii article ls to belp farmers to make
butter as tbe best paying cuBtomers ia
tbe general market demand.
