ascertained by dividing the numbi-r of

Profit in Oats.
Many {armors say there is no profit in
raising oats, yet others find them ii profit:
Able crop. If the market price of the
grain is not profitablc, the price paid for
young stock always is. The farmer who
sells oats and foods his calves, pigxlanibs
and colts all unit. or nearly so, makcs a
mistake. 'Not nfcw men find oats ttn~
profitable because they do not feed them, i
or do not feed them propi-rly; yet more '
because they do not gct the full value of
the straw.» If oats are cut five days
earlier than is the common practice. thc .
straw is worth for fccding two-thirds of
its weight of timothy liny.aud this earlier
cutting increases. mthcr than diuiiuishas,
the value of the gmiii. Of course the
straw must be kept bright. If it is not
out until it is “dead ripe“ and thou pilcd
up after threshing to bleach and rot, it
is not worth much for feed. But the cut- ‘
ting, curing.' and feeding Icing equally
favomblc, three pounds of oat stntw are
worth as much for winter feeding as two
unds of hay. True, the other articles
ed must have. more nlbuminoids than
when hay is fcd,but this does not increase
the cost of thc ration. The biggest price
for oats is rcalizcd by cutting the crop
when most farmers would pronounce it
green. curling it niccly, then store in
mow or under barracks, zind feed grain
and straw together after running through
I cutter and moistening. Cutting oats a
little early, also reduces the chances of
their lodging, and their liability to lodge
is the most Serious objection to them by
farmers who have a soil rich in nitrogen

A New Butter Theory.
It is acommon notion that salt pre-
Iervcs butter. Recent'experimeuts have
demonstrated that but very little of the
butter contains any salt. The salt does
not penetrate the butteras it does meat.
but simply attaches itself tothe exterior,
and of course it must come in contact
with all of the butter to do this. Prof.
Arnold finds that such is not the case,
ter, but a considerable portion of it is
more or lost mingled, not. mixed through
the butter in its original state, or in the
form of still smaller crystals, and in an un-
dissolvcd state. This does not look like
preserving the butter. for to preserve it
the salt must be incorporated with it.
The salt will absorb the water in the but-
ter and form a brine, and this brine can
coat over the parficla of the butter with
which it coma in contact, and'no more.
This coatin‘u must. be on the “hide, leav~
ing the insi e just as it was before, with
out any salt. Temperature has more to do
with preserving butter than salt. and the
lace where it is kept (the surroundings)
u more of a factor for its well or woe
than salt. The dairyman who expects
the salt in the butter to kee it all right
sud disregards the other thing, will find
his butter “of.” The truth in, the salt

a preservation is concerned. It is only

The rest 19 there in the original form,th

aimd. Working butter with brine is all
the salting it requires. rcordin to Prof.
Arnold. and when well worked it is readv
to pack at time, or to ship to market. All
of the old, tiresome elbow work which
has made the dairy such a dmdg’ery for
all time is entirely unnecessary. Except
the more packing. the old dash-churn
should go. too. as it has no cheer in it,
and it is altogether too unbnndy for the
pn~sent age. A revolving churn is the
thing: to save labor and with which to

Pear Culture.
As we ascend the scale of perfection
in the production of the finer fruits, we
find the way beset with more formidable
difficulties.
When we fail to apply the necessary
safeguards against the provalcnce of pcau

time and money expended are worse

German stoves, says a correspondent of
