Dairy Notes.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain has i).2 people to one cow. Wo have oue for every 4.3 persons. Only three of the countries of Europe have more cows In proportion to population than the United States, and these three altogether have only 3,101,(189, whilo the United States had, within the same decade, nearly 15,000,000. The Pacific Rural asserts that tho butter from sweet milk or cream will ripen to the flavor of that made from acid cream in forty-eight hours. If the cow finds the milker to be her friend, she yields with pleasure to the operation. Dairying has a four-fold advantage over most other branches of farming. It brings spot cash, It yields moro money for the feed consumed, it saves the natural fertility of the farm, and It makes Increased fertility easy. By adding weak brine liberally to the churn before any attempt Is made to remove the buttermilk, one gets an effect of water and brine that they do not get at any subsequent period, a dissolving power that takes out buttermilk and frees tho butter from the casein and albumen that In some way docs not seem to go afterwards. —National Dairyman. One thing has got to be stopped—the starting of creameries by Irresponsible men in the spring, and their failure in tho fall, after swindling the farmers out of a large part of their season’s product. Judging from the frequency of creamery failures recently, this has been flevcloped Into a thoroughly worked scheme.— Michigan Dairyman.
