The demand in tho market is for butter with nutty flavor, and as it is not la the original flavor of tho milk, but developed by a certain care and handling of the milk and cream, thoro must bo protty nearly uniform care of the milk, and back of this uniform foeding and attention to not only tho cows but their surroundings.

When the whole matter is sifted, and tho actual methods explained how this flavor is obtained, it will bo notlcod that it is only taking the best care of the milk, by making every utensil bright and clean and doing more than straining dirt and its other compatriots out of tho milk, but rather in not allowing them to got into tho milk.

armors siauio nre rarely con itructod with a view to hetilthfulness aro usually deficient In light, vontila' tlon and drainage. Theso defects plvo rno to much evil to con nod in tliem, and disorders of some Kind are likely to result Want of light or ngntin BtriifrffUng rays from various small Inlets injures tho eyesight; and where there is Insufllclont light, there is almost surely insulllciont ventila tion. Stables thus closely built do not admit of fruo circulation of air, consequently they beconio filled with foul air, impregnated with tho pun gent vapors arising from manure, which constantly breathed, irritates tho mucus membranes of tho throat and lungs, and koeps them in a more or less Inflamed condition. And if drainago is insutlleiont, and absorbonts aro not supplied, tlio floor becomes Mlou with urine-saturated manure which increases these disngreeablo vapors. Stables should be built on some what elevntod ground; if low and flat, tho site should bo well-drained; this would bo well if done In any case, Where no other than an oarth lloor is had, absorbents should bo used in abundance, especially if the stable be a low, close one.

But it is better to have good floors. Wood floors of thick, solid material, do well enough. The floor should have a slight inclina. uon irom iront to rear, ilia scams between the planks covered with other plank, to prevent tho liquids getting beneath the lloor. Underneath the terminus of the floor at tho rear, should bo placed a gutter to receive and carry off the liquids to the manure pile.

If a good and lasting floor be desired, concrete is the most economical in the long run. These, too, should have a lew incnes inclination to the rear with drains to serve tho purpose of carrying off the liquids. Tho follow ing method makes a good concrete floor: Take out the earth to about a foot in depth, fill in with course gravel; smooth this off to a proper grade, say four inches in ton feet. Upon this put small stones cobble stones and press down solid, making drains where required. Over this, when raised up sufficiently high and firm, spread a layer of mortar, press in the top of this, when half dry, some sand, and to add to the thickness and durability of the floor, more mortar and sand may bo put on; instead of mortar, some use gas tar, then finish off with sand.

Stables aro often built too low, or in other words tho loft or floor overhead is put down too low. This floor should be-at least eight feet high; it gives better ventilation, and instead of letting tho light and air struggle in as best it may through small apertures, there should be made one or two long windows reaching well up to the ceiling or upper floor. The sash in them should bo swung on pivots in tho middlo, so that the sash may be swung out at top; this gives better ventilation, the vapor within escaping at top and the fresh air admitted at bottom. The windows should bo in front, as side lights are hurtful to the eyes of stock, especially if there be no light on the opposite side. It costs but little more either of money or labor to erect such comfortable stables, and certainly nothing is lost by it The proper saving of the manure in this way, the ammonia that otherwise would bo lost repays much, besides the ad van to go and profit arising from having good, sound, healthy stock.

Ohio Farmer. Itreed ng Turkeys. Joseph Wallace manages to find something fresh on this often discussed subject: In breeding turkeys, the bronze is the largest and hardiest of its species. If, however, a choice of other varieties is made, be sure that the breeders are vigorous. A proper selection is even more necessary in one sense than in the case of common fowls bred for niero utility, because the offspring will show all tho defects of tho parents in a more marked degree, us all constitutional and hereditary dofects are transmitted at once and oven the condition of good health at tho time of mating is not sufficiently powerful to counteract or to influence in modifying tho constitution defects in the offspring, as it is more or less in tho case of the common fowl that transmit good and defective qualities dependent upon their state of health and condition during mating.

The young poult is so sensitive to wet and dampness that even in a wild state the turkey seeks regions where there is little rain or dew during the breeding season. The young poults feather so rapidly that they aro weak and tender, because there is a constant drain on the system to start and nourish a large growth of feathers besides bono, flesh and muscle. It is seen that proper food and care are necessary until the birds begin to show GRAIN AND Stock Merchant. Pays highest market price for grain and stock.

future, r.nd tho buttermilk washed out, and tho butter salted so much and worked down so dry, tho nutty flavor needed will bo developed promptly on time and in needed amount It is a uniform care, treatment and handling that Insures quality, texture and flavor la butter-- Practical Farmer. 4Variiliiff to Milkmen. ust one word to milk producers. Bo careful about joining any organiz ation whoso purpose is to help all farmers, when it is headed and run by men who never milkod a cow, never owned one, but who can make every farmer rich (on paper) if ho will only follow instructions. Any such organ ization is utterly worthless, and furth ermore, is responsible for tho poor condition of the milk market to-day.

Such an association is a downright swindle, and a man who will prove himself and heed it when his prima object is 3 annual duo, should bo cagod up, Ho Is morally a blackleg, a confidence man, and every person should bo aware of him and his dirty way of extorting money from farmers. I was much surprised some time since when in Lowell, to soe the fine farming at the county jail. Labor is of course worth very little, and so not a weed is visible. I5y the way, that is tho only way to farm. Do everything in lirst-class shape and ultimate success is assured.

Mass. Plowman. Home Hints. A small pieco of cliarcoal placed in the pot when boiling cabbage, will prevent any disagreeable odor. If anything runs over upon the stove and catches tiro while cooking, throw salt upon it at oneo.

It will put out the fire oad prevent a disagreeable smell. A difficulty is often experienced by housekeepers in removing the small from cooking utensils in which fish has been fried or boiled. Place some redhot cin ders in the pan pot, upon them poor some boiling water and move the cinders around for a minute or two, when it will he found that all smell or taint of fish will have disappeared. Paint, after it dries, is hard to remove, but yields at once to turpentine, if ap plied when it is fresh. On dark clothes, however, turpentine itself leaves a trace which calls for the benzine.

This generally prevents the stains from reappearing in obvious and ugly fushion whenever exposed to any dust. But after all is said and done, tho best advico is, 'Try not to got spots on your clothes. The best way of ridding a house of rats is to fill all the holes that can be found with pounded glass, and seal up with plaster of paris and tin if you wish. Then thoroughly clean the premises and see that there are no garbage pails left about to attract rats, and secure tho services of a good cat. Treat her kindly, confine her as much as possible to the basement of the house so she will keep these intruder away and there need bo no trouble.

I arm Notei. Clover should be grown more than it is. Manure can be' hauled out at any time during the winter. It is a fact that the same cow's milk varies in richness at different times. When nn animal is matured it gains very slowly, and the principal gam Is la fat only.

To improve tho stock on tho farm select the ones best adapted to your purpose and then stick to it. In a majority of cases when a product is low is a good time to commence grow ing it and not when it is high. The general farmer is not tied down to any one crop or One branch of stock raising, and has less failures. A young animal, if well fed, will gain in meat, bone and fat, and gain more in proportion to the food supplied. A large quantity of Missouri tobacco is exported directly to Germany, to be mingled with milder grades for smoking purposes.

Put wood ashos and salt where the hogs can get at them every day and hoar in the day to take a lick. If pulverized charcoal and sulphur are added no harm will be done. Mr. Murtfeldt says: "The ideal farmer prizes his dwellings and out-buildings, and appreciates the comforts and contents these give to him and his family and his domestic animals." When feeding to fatten all things considered, it is best to feed dry food. During growth the pigs will thrive better on a ration of ground oats, shorts and oil meal, with sweet skim-milk.

Certainly oats furnish the best materials to use in feeding growing colts. There seems a concentration of good qualities In oats which makes them the best all-around food for weanlings, and from that time on through all the experience and life of the animals. CENTRAL HOTEL!
