the stones, which were quarried on the farm, 
the building cost *70. 
The cans for milk setting are 20 inches deep 
and eight inches across. They were made of 
the best quality of tin at an expense of 75 
cents each, The skimmiug dipper, made for 
15 cents, is funnel-shaped, has a long handle, 
aud holds one quart. The thermometer was 
50 cents, and a very good article of butter 
color was purchased in Syracuse. A barrel 
churn, which was a present, and a home-made 
lever butter-worker complete the list of uten¬ 
sils. By purchasing the jars from the pottery, 
quite n margin was saved. 
The milk, while yet warm, is strained into 
the cans, and the cans tloat in the cold water. 
In cold weather the milk is warmed to 120 
deg. before it is set in the pool After SO 
horn's (never longer than that) the rnilk is 
skimmed, about three quarts of cream being 
obtained from a can. The cream is also kept 
in the pool. Duriug Summer the cream is 
removed from the pool to a temperature of 
60 deg., and churned as soon as it is sour. In 
Winter it is brought from the creamery and 
warmed to 100 deg., while it is slowly stirred. 
It is then set m a warm place for 10 or 12 
hours, until it is sour. Next, it is cooled grad¬ 
ually to 50 deg., aud left for a few hours. 
Then 1 raise the temperature to 65 deg., have 
the churn warm, put in the butter color at 
the rate of one teaspoonful to 20 pounds of 
butter, and the churning is doue in half an 
hour. As soon as the dash in the churn is 
dear, the speed is slackened and two quarts 
of spring water are added at intervals of a 
few miuutes. Soon appear what seem to be 
millions of golden grains—granulated butter. 
Tne buttermilk is then drawn off: weak brine 
is added aud drawn oil', aud more brine is 
added until It comes dear, f he butter is then 
put carefully into the butter worker. Uuou- 
daga F. F. salt is worked into it at the rate of 
20 ounces to 25 pounds of butter, and closely 
covered with a doth dipped in cold brine, it 
is left for one boar. It is then worked with a 
pressing (not sliding) motion of the lever ami 
ladle, and packed into small jars. Dairy 
cloth dipped in brine is pressed closely on the 
top. 
To aid in the return of the jars, neat labels 
were printed at the moderate expense of one 
dollar per 1,000 These are pasted on both jar 
and cover. The dairy herd consists of 
grade Short-horns, Devons, and oup wee Jer¬ 
sey. Their winter feed Is early cut hay aud 
corn-stalks, supplemented with grain. The 
variety of grain is frequently changed, but 
each gets three quarts t vice daily. Early iu 
Spring the cows have for pasturage newly- 
seeded wood-land, and are fed all the hay 
they can eat until used to the enauge. After 
May they had pasture last year only until 
Septem er, when they were fed four quarts 
or soft corn each, twice daily, until Winter. 
Experiments have proved that the cattle do 
better if they have an occasional change of 
pasture. Each pasture lot has ample noou-day 
shade. 
For “root” feed we gave ouly potatoes and 
wore satisfied with the result. They were 
given freely as a preventive of milk fever, 
aud they were fed to new milch cows before 
they got their usual grain ratioD. For gene¬ 
ral use they proved au excellent appetizer; 
but careful experiments could not detect any 
increase iu butter from their use. 
From this little dairy the city of Syracuse 
consumed just one ton of butter, the prices 
ranging from 40 cents in January to 23 ceuts 
in July. Fourteen calves were raised on the 
sweet skimmed-milk, with a slight expense for 
oil-meal They sold readily for $150. The 
buttermilk was fed to pigs, and netted about 
$25. The old farm is indebted to the dairy 
for at least $200 iu fertilizing material. 
Aud now, dear girls of the Rural, many of 
you are turning eager eves away from home 
with thoughts of uu independent living. 
From mv window 1 see a doz*»n little children 
going unwillingly to school. The trustee tells 
me that for those few children he has said 
‘ No” to 27 teachersf One was enough! Those 
pretty, tired creatures whom you see behind 
the city counters, do not earn what any 
bright girl could get as a margin on butter. 
Confidentially, every girl cau t get a good 
husband, and it would lie better to let the 
poor sticks die bachelors, as they vow they 
will, (but they won’t) and find yourself the 
umyuger of u profitable dairy instead of an 
unprofitable husband. There is uOt a minute 
from the time the milk is drawn from the 
cow to the time the butter reaches the eou 
RAG CARPET NOTES, 
A good way to plan for the arrangement 
of the stripe in your carpet so that the differ¬ 
ent colors may be evenly distributed, is this: 
Reel each of the bright colors into knots, and 
as you know each knot contains eighty yards, 
you may calculate in this manner: Suppose 
you wish to make 20 yards of carpet and have 
five knots—or 400 yards—of red; then you can 
have iu each yard threads of red as many 
times as 25 is contained in 400, or 16. The 
darker or predominating colors may be esti¬ 
mated by tin* pound: but if a little study is 
given to the quantity of each color, there need 
be no odd-looking breadths in which some of 
the colors have run out. 
Do not have too mauy colors. Brown, green, 
red anil orange, with some neutral tints, har¬ 
monize well; but if you add blue and yellow, 
they will give a cheap, tawdry look to the 
carpet. Quite a pretty bed room carpet has 
Deen lately made, with but two colors—stripes 
of gray and blue, each about five inches wide, 
separated by a few threads of black and- 
white alternately. The blue and the gray 
were both cotton; the blue colored by the 
usual recipe for blue on cotton, and the gray 
colored with tea leaves, copperas being used 
to set the color. As the furniture was painted 
grav with blue decorations, and all the little 
dainty appointments of the room were in the 
same color, it was a delight to see that even a 
rag-carpet OOlild be made to harmonize pleas¬ 
antly with its surroundings. 
Another bed-room carpet that looked very 
nice, was made entirely of a dark tan color 
and a bright copperas twisted together. Both 
these carpet s seem to keep their color pretty 
well: but, of course, being of cotton, they 
will fade sooner than woolen. 
It hardly pays to color cotton green, as 
giecu is the most expensive dye in common 
use, aud the money that is paid for the dye 
will generally buy several yards of new green 
calico of a much better color than you can 
make, while the rags you have may be dyed 
some cheaper color 
Old calico and worsted dresses, even if they 
are quite faded, always make a pretty stripe 
without re-coloring: butiu winding such rags 
iu a ball.it is necessary to he careful to double 
the threads together as they are wound, so 
that the outside, or least faded part, will 
show the most. E. K. b. 
Hair restorative in the world is Halt.’s 
Hair Renew Ell. It cures all diseases of 
the scalp, and stimulates the hair glands 
to healthful action. It stops the falling of 
the hair; prevents its turning gray: cures 
baldness, and restores youthful color and 
freshness of appearance to heads already 
white with age. The following are a few

HAIR RENEWER 
QtT Mrs. Hcxpeerry, 344 Franklin Are ., 
Brooklyn , AT. 1'., after a severe attack of Ery¬ 
sipelas in the head, found her Imir—already 
tony—falling off SO rapldli that she soon became 
quite bald. One bottle of Hall's Hair P.F.- 
NP.WF.u brought U hack ns soft, brown aud 
thick as wlicu she was it girl. 
ff&r Mr. KesLIXO, an old farmer, near 117/r- 
Knw, f/nl., had scarcely any hair left, and what 
little there was of it ha ! necome nearly white, 
(•in bottle of Hai.l’h Haiti Rbneiveu stopped 
its falling out, and gnvo him n thick, luxuriant 
head of hair, as brow n and fresh a» he ever had. 
M its, A. T. Wall, Greenfield. Cheehire, 
Kvy., writes: “I have found the greatest hell- 
ctit irorn the use of Hall's Hair Reskwek, it 
having restored my hair, which was rapily lull¬ 
ing off, and returned its original color.” 
tdr Hr. Emil Snr, DftroU, Mich-, certifies 
that “Hall’s Hair Ken ewer i« excellent for 
hair growing, and gives back the natural color 
to faded and gray hair." 
Mrs. S. K. F.i.TtoTT, Glenville, IF, Fh„ 
say- • “One bottle Of Hall's HaIR RENEWER 
restored my hair to its natural, youthful col.a-.” 
No injurious substances enter Into the 
composition of HALL’S HaIR RENKWKR, 
and it is not a (lye. Its vegetable ingre¬ 
dients render it hi the highest degree bene¬ 
ficial to the scalp us a preventive of dis¬ 
ease. Its effects are natural and lasting, 
and it docs not make the hair dry and 
brnshv, like the so-called restoratives com¬ 
pounded with alcohol.
