The Dairy. Cows FOR THE Datky. ?" Which is the best?'- is a question ol'teu asked in referring to breeds adapted to dairy purposes. As the Prairie Farmer has frequently said, there are superior milkers in all breeds. Some breeds, however, are better adapted to a particular branch of dairying than others. The milk of Jerseys and Guernseys, for instance, is, as a rule, richer in butter than that of other breeds, while in the Holsteins the milk is especially rich in casein and albumen. But the milk of cows of the same breed differs in quality, as every one knows. The milk of one cow makes more and better butter than that of a cow at her side, of the same breed. There are cows in all breeds and kinds that are exceptionally lump*, or miiitHrs so that so far as quantity and quality are concerned, in considering the question of relative value, each breed has its champions. The Jerseys, Guernseys, Ayrshires, Holsteins and Short-horns have no lack of backing. The latter were at one time unrivaled for dairy purposes, and there are families in that breed still that maintain its ancient prestige in that behalf. The Hon. Harris Lewis, of New York, uses Short-horns * in his dairy because, no doubt, he be( lieves them unsurpassed for that purf i>ose. f The Prairie Farmer is not wedded to any [particular breed: but it advoF cate$ thp improvement )of the dairy r cow:} of the country by using improved g| blood, be it Holstein or Short-horn, B, Jersey or Ayrshire. Any, and all are ' good. Select a male from a family of cattle known to be of excellent milkHp ing quality, ami cross upon the best ly milkers in tbe herd. Raise the heifer fS produce, and improve their progeny in f the same way, weeding out the unprofitable cows, and in a few years the herd will consist of cows that will yield a handsome profit for their keeping. Temperature in Cream-Raising. ?The question of deep or shallow setting of milk to obtain the best results continues to be one upon which buttermakers differ. But its discussion by some of our most intelligent dairymen, and scientific men as well, is bringing out new and valuable facts in this, as in other matters pertaining to buttermaking. -This industry has achieved such vast proportions in this country that every thing calculated to shed light upon it and improve the methods em/ ' ployed in producing butter, is eagerly / sought. Experiments are tried almost constantly in butter dairies, and at some of the educational institutions where rural economy, to a greater or less extent, enters into the course of instruction; and of their results when anything useful is evolved, our readers are advised. Some experiments in setting milk were made not long since by a correspondent of one of our Eastern metro politan exchanges,which possess much interest. The writer evidently is not a novice, as is seen by a perusal of his article. He says that one of the strongest arguments in favor of low cooling, ^ v which allows of deep setting, is the > . small amount of labor in the managementof milk. By dropping the temperature from 10 to 15 deg. below 60 deg., the creanjLCan be thrown up quickly and the mihi' quickly got out of the way, and a^arge saving in time, space and uyrfisiis effected. Low cooling has H^M^nother important feature if done in pure air. If milk happens not to be just light it is liable at 60 deg. to de^H^P^velop unfavorable conditions while the Hw crefcm is rising. By keeping the tem|w pertiture down, such changes are re|y tarded and a better quality of butter made than would have resulted had j W the faulty milk been kept warmer. j Low cooling, therefore, makes a more even quality of goods where the milk > 1 is liable to vary than high setting; but when the milk is all right, a higher flavored and better keeping butter is made by sp-eading the milk well?two to three inches deep?and setting at 60 . deg. af nearly as may be. In the same article the writer, without special mention of setting milk in "submerged cans, evidently does not j look with favor upon that system. He holds that milk needs airing as well as ' cooling. He says the influence of the oxygen in the air ripens the cream for 1 easy churning and develops flavor in | the butter, that he has proved this by I taking mila from the same mess and ! immersing one part in oxygen gas and ; the other in carbolic acid gas and keep- j them at the same temperature for 48 i . hours and then churning each separ- j * "* ately. Butter from the cream in oxy- I gen came in two-thirds of the time re- j ><* 2?a :? ' \ quireu iw we vieau: iu rawvu, auu . / butter was in every trial higher nifwifu uTMliad better keeping quality. These results occurred without any i "f reference to the presence of acidity in the milk or cream. The difference in ^flavor of' creamoecame very distinct - while sweet and the churning was also easier. The difference was the same I after acidity developed as before. These lexults are significant. They indicate that what we have been in the habit of ascribing '<v acidity ps, in fact, due to , ^? -*ratioii and consequent oxydation of j 'toe milk liasr-v NTnefi milk is spread dfT thin it receives a much better ex posure than when massed in deep ves seL. and oxynation is more effective at emitted than at depressed teniper* atUKis. The position maintained by ^mary experienced butter-makers tliat - ^Je itst butter ,is made by setting slial low at tiO dtg. is not without good reasons ir its favor, however objectionable it may be on account of labor and inconvenience. The article concludes as follows: "The experiments in setting milk in carbon and oxygen have a significant x bearing upon the mooted question ! V V I whether cream is best churned sweet or sour. Since the churning was facilitated and flavor and keeping quality developed only in the milk set in oxygen. it argues that exposure for oxydation is all that may be necessary to accomplish these ends, and that acid may yet be dispensed with, as well in butter-making as in cheese-making. All good butter-makers now chum at ' least as soon as souring begins, or a lit- j tie before, with a growing tendency to the latter practice. Milk which is ; kept till fermentation sets in is evidently on the road to decay, a condition it is not easy to conceive as of any advantage to the keeping of fine flavor of butter. That milk fats fresh from the ?=?> : : ?.WV. COW, WHUUUL U11J rqjeillUg, UIUIU nuu moredifficultyand make butter inferior in keeping aud flavor to that of erearn which lias acquired some age, is notorious. That the ripening usually effected by giving age to the cream is due to <eration is corroborated by the results of the centrifugal cream separator. The thorough {^ration which the cream gets in a few minutes in being rapidly whirled oft* from the fresh milk, se- i cures the easy churning and high flavor which are only the result of time when the cream is not so forcibly aired. It demonstrates that neither time nor acidity is necessary for the desired ripening of cream, which observant butter-makers concede to be essential to secure the best results, and leads to the inference that if we can get tie easy churlfing and perfect flavor without the stale condition which accompanies fermentation, it is better to ! churn sweet than sour."?Prairie Far- \ mer. Why Ireland is Poor. To those shallow philosophers who maintain that over-population is one of the causes of industrial depression, the case of Ireland durng the past year should be a final answer. During the twelve months ending June 30, Ireland lost by emigration to all parts of the world half a million of people. As a result of this extensive emigration 40,609 acres of land went out of cultivation and into pasturage. From this increase of pasturage it might be sup-! posed that an increase of grazing stock j would follow; but such is not the case. On the contrary, according to the Dublin Farmers' Gazette, the decrease in the number of animals has been as follows: Horses, 15,837; asses, 2,5f>4; cattle, 146,552; sheep, 56,542; pigs, 223,139; goats, 113,155; poultry, 356,106. Ireland was richer with a population of 8,000,000 than it is now with a population of 5,000,000. That country is richer now with a population of 5,000,UO0 than it will be in the course of time with a population of 3,000,000; and, with the same course of industrial decadence in progress, that unfortunate ! country will be poorer still when the population consists of 1,500,000 herdsmen, looking after the fattening of cattle for the English market. The poverty of Ireland does not proceed from the lack of natural resources. Water power is abundant, harbors are numerous and safe, the soil is fertile, minerals are found in grpat quantities beneath the soil, the cliniate is salubrious, and the people are a^nong the most laborious in Europe. Ndr was the ruin of Ireland wrought on the battlefield, save in so far a^ politicar dependence leads naturally to industrial oppression and decay. In the industrial history of Ireland there is a lesson for all nations whose commerce and manufac- J tures are struggling into existence in opposition to the insidious policy of foreign countries, their pauperized labor, their vast aggregation ol capital, and peculiar adaption of machinery. The history of Ireland's industrial downfall is, briefly, as follows: Henry II. invaded the country, but the conquest was in no sense complete until the reign of Queen Elizabeth. The confiscations of land that occurred at various times disturbed the tenure of the native proprietors and led to social disorder, but under new owners the productiveness of the soil would heal the wounds in the course of a few generations, if the natural course of events in trade, commerce and manufactures was allowed to prevail. The first discrimination against Ireland was prohibiting the exportation of cattle to England, lest the British stock raiser be beaten down in his price by Irish competition. The same discrimination is now made against the imj>ortation of American cattle in England, but under a different pretext although the reason is precisely the same. This prohibition of cattle export, however, proved eventually advantageous to the Irish, since it threw them upon the industry of raising sheep and manufacturing woolen goods, in which they excelled i their English neighbors and undersold ! them both in England and on the continent. But upon the accession of William III. the exportation of woolen goods to England was discouraged by j a tarill' which was at first onerous and j finally prohibitory. Later, the exi>or- j tatiouof raw wool was prohibited from Ireland to France or Germany, since the cheap and superior wool of that country enabled the French and German manufacturers to compete with j sonic degree of success with the manufacturers of Great Britain. These laws, | however, were not easily enforced; nineteen of the th'rty-two counties of J Ireland are maritime and the smug-1 gling <>f wool to France and of brandy | and wine from that nation to pay for the wool, in the absenceof an abundant ! Circulating liieuiuiu, is itii exciting ami picturesque feature of Iri.sli history. During this time it was the policy of England to allow no commerce in her , dependencies, save such as was carried on in British bottoms, and with crews, three-fourths of whom were natives of her own island. The American colonies waxed rich in spite of this legisla- ( 4 don. The semitropical productions of the Western continent, viz: cotton, rice, tobacco, tar, turpentine. j?iand sugar, made the murket* court tin in, and found no competition in Europe. Of these, only tobacco would grow in Ireland, aud the cultivation of that in the conquered island was made a capital offence. Ireland, being neither a colony nor a nation, was deprived of the benefit of even these restrictive navigation laws, and her cargoes were limited to a miserable coasting trade. The enforcement of these laws led to our revolutionary war, by which the colonies threw off the yoke of England. This gave Ireland a brief season of j prosperity. ----- - " ?? 1 T-l Wit OI tne INauonar rrcsa. Prairie chickens are games to the ; last.

Taylor, who was proverbially Democratic in his habits, was accessible at all times and in all places to any officer or soldier who had occasion to call upon him. His tent was always open to all callers, and no ceremony was required to gain an audience with the General commanding. General Scott, on the contrary was very ceremonious on this point and visitors were not always successful in their applications to see him, and nine times out of ten were referred to a subordinate officer, who acted as the medium between the General-in-chief and themselves. This was not in every case satisfactory to those who expected to be favored with an interview in person, but there was no help for it, and they were compelled to submit. The following anecdote, which occurred early in 1846, and has never before b n published, illustrates the point: There was a certain Lieutenant (now a general officer by brevet) who happened to come down the Rio Grande shortly after Gen. Scott, had landed at Brazos. Being desirous of paying his respects to the commanderin-chief, he hurried off to the headquarters in the war that wa3 customary when visiting Old Zach. As he ap- j proached he saw two wall tents with a | " fly " in front, which were the head- ! quarters. Outside walked a sentinel, ' and inside the sentinel sat an orderly upon a stool, while in the first tent were seated Col. the General's mil- ! itary secretary, and Capt. , one of j his aids. r thn ami. I lilClllCliaui a|>^iuavuvu iuv tinel, lie was saluted and his business allied. " To see Gen. Scott," was the reply. The sentinel turned to the orderly and >aid : " Lieutenant wishes to see Gen. Scott." The orderly walked toward the out- j ward wall tent, aud opening it said to Col. , " Lieutenant wishes to st e Cell. Scott." The colonel turned to ('apt. and said, Lieutenant wishes to see the j General." Capt. , rising, went quietly to the j t inner tent, and peewit: in, saw that General Scott was asleep. Returning on tijeine he said, in a cautious voice "Hush! i he Gem-mi slumbers." Col. , turned to orderly and repeated. "Hush! the (ten era I slumbers," and the sentinel repeated to the astonished ears of: he subaltern : " Hush the General slu 111 hers.'' Lieutenant , who stood in dumb astonishment at this exliibition of formality, turned on liis heel, the worst disgusted man in those parts.
