SUCKERS ABOUT FRUIT TREES.-
Every orchard not carefully watched, IS
liable to become infested with suckers
growing about the foot Of the trees, and
nothing gives a more untldy appearance.
Young orchards must be examined at
least once a year, and have all the suckers
carefully removed. For quite young trees,
this work should be done early IN spring,
as cutting away any considerable portion
of growing wood and leaves has tendency
to retard growth but unless the mass OF
suckers is very large, It should he done
now; if omitted Lefore. From large trees,
it is always better to take off the suckers
at the present time, or while the trees are
growing freely, as the work may be more
effectually performed, and they will be
less liable to start again. The worst thing
that can be done is cutting the suckers oil
with a knife in such way that short stubs
are left to sprout a second time. If the
sprouts are small or only one seasons
growth, they may be easily and we'll re-
moved by graspiDg them one at a time
with both hands, and then, with shti
cow-hide boot, place the foot next the tree
and on the sucker, and with one or two
quick jerks will separate it to the base
If this is impracticable, take small gouge
and mallet and cut them off closely Whef
it is thoroughly done, they will not be
liable to re-appear, and the few that ap
pear subsequently are easily got rid of. A
neatly kept, clean orchard, is better anc
more profitable in every way, than one
infested with suckers, weeds, grass anC
bushes.

ABOUT CHURNING.-I have arranged
churn with which l can do large
churning' easily, in from 80 to l2O sec
onds. Is this too quickly done to make
good butter, and greatest quantity from
cream? Temperature coo Far.-H. C..
B., Crawford Co., Pa
YEs:-Churning so rapidly not only
affect the quality but lessons the
quantity of butter. 1t is the opln-
ion of good butter makers those
who have had long experience in the bust
ness, and those who are noted for making
"fancy product" which sells for high
price-that churning should occupy the
from one-half to three-quarters fan hour
in its operation.
At the butter factories when the dash
churn is used, the stroke of the dash is
regulated fifty strokes per minutes
being considered quite fast enough for the
dash to be moved, We have never yet
seen the finer grades Of butter produced
when the churning WIS done in so short a
space of time as two minutes. We have
experimental largely with different churns
to determine this question, and invariably
find the butter more or less injured, and
especially as to its keeping qualities when
the churnidg process is fastened and &C
complished in any space of time shorter
than ten minutes. If there are machines
and processes for making the best quality
of butter in two minutes, we have not seen
them, aud they are not endorsed by any
good butter makers Of our acquaintance.
In making butter it is important that all
the particles of cream be fully operated
upon, and that the action of the churn be
such as not to injure or grain the butter.
The butter should come solid, be of good
color and in condition by which the but
ter milk may be easily and thoroughly
expelled.
We have no faith in 1.-TWO minute
churns" nor in "two minute processes 70
churning," and we cannot reccommenC
them from the light of our experience o
observation.
There are immense quantities of infero
and low grade butter which are constantly
being pushed upon the markets. sucl
butter generally comes from butter ma
kers who seek to shirk some of the la
bors and responsibilities in the manufac
ture of a prime article.
Butter makers should be cautious abou
adopting these wonderfully short process
ses,' especially in churning. Two min
ute churns" are no new things. The
have been before the public from time
time for the last fifteen years and perhar
longer, and if they could have improve
the quality or character of butter to b
made, they would long since have bee
adopted by our best butter makers, VIII
spare no pains or expense in securing
high priced product. Wedo not wish
to be inferred that we are opposed to ne'
inventions for churning or new proeesse
for butter making. We are favorable
improvements and labor-saving appliar
ces; but we cannot accept them as sue
until they have been proved beyond mer
what is claimed for them.--RuraL Ne

Right and Wrong Way TO MILK.

The Irish Farmers Gazette publishes
the following from Prof. Dick of the Ed
inburgh Veterinary College, on the man
ner of milking:
"The operations OF milking is performed
differently in various parts OF the country:
In some the dairy maid dips her hand
into a little milk, and by successfully
stripping the teat between her fingers and
thumb unoads the udder. This plan,
however. is attended with the d!sadvan-
tage of irritating more or less the teats,
and rendering it liable to cracks and
chops, which are followed by inflammation
extending to the rest Of the quarter.
This accounts for the disease occurring
more frequently among the COWS under
the charge of one mixer than it does in
those under the charge of another and as
this practice is more common in some parts
of the country than in others, it also &C
counts for the disease being more common
in these parts. This plan Of milking, where
the irritation is not sufficient to excite the
extent of inflammation to which | have al
luded, frequently produces horny thick
ening of the teat, consequence OF the
cracks and chops, which renders it more
difficult so milk than when in its natura
state, and, at the same time, predlspose'
to inflammation when any cause occurs t.
set it up.
These affects may be, and are, almos
entirely avoided, by the most scientif
plan of milking adopted in other parts
the country, where, instead of drawing
down or stripping the teat between tn
fingers and thumb, as I have stated, tn
9 dairy-maid follows more closely the prin
ciplcs which instinct has taught the cal
She first takes slight hold of the teat
with her hand, by which she merely en-
circles it, then lifts her hand up so as
press the body of the udder upwards, b
which the milk escapes into the teat;
if, as is generally the case when som
hours have elapsed between milklng-tlme

This corn must at once be fed to the hogs,

whisky. New wheat, also stored In bulk,
will heat as we'll as corn; this is germina-

in the grain. The costly elevators and

BREEDING HoRsES.-The season for
making arrangements for future horse
flesh is at hand, and upon the wisdom or
folly of the owners of breeding mares will
depend the value of next years crop of
colts. If that class would use the proper
judgment at the proper time, the country
would not be as full as it is of unsound,
worthless horses. In the first place never
turn mare to horse for breedining purpo.
ses which is worn out or unsound, and
worthless for other purposes. What
would good farmer think of the man
who would make a practice of saving his
wheat screening and "nubbins" of corn
for seed? Yet it would entail less actual
loss than the practise of raising colts from
mares that are unsound or worn out Hav.
ing good sound mare, with good broad
loin and deep chest, put her to a horse OIL
whose blood and pedigree something posi-
tive is known. No matter how many
good points the horse shows, if he is q
mongrel without pedigree, they may b,
accidental, and there is no certainty of hi
transmitting them to his offspring.
In the next place, consider what styl
Of horse you want to breed, and selec
your stallion accordingly, provided you
mare is Of the right form. There is NJ
sense in going to Clydesdale stallion j
you want to breed roadsters, nor to
horse of light trotting action for the pur
pose Of raising draft horses.
Lastly, do not take any mare to hors
solely because he is cheap. Better pa,
500 for the horses services and raise
good colt, than have the service of mon
grel horse given you. 1t will cost a
much to raise colt that will be wort
$l25 to $3.50 at four years old, as on
that will sell for $500 or more. Reall,
good horses are wanted at good prices
and will be for many years to come

The Cows INTELLIGENCE.-Tbe
London D1ilk Journal says: That COWS
have memory, language, signs, and the
means of enjoying pleasant asSoclaton'
combinding for aggressive purposes, have
been recognized, but scarcely to the extent
the subject merits Travelling in Italy
many years ago, we visited some of the
large dairy farms in the neighborhood of
Ferrara. Interspersed among much OF
the low lying unhealthy land, remarkable
for the prevalence on it ofvery fatal forms
of anthrax in the summer season, are me
undulating pasture lands, and the fields
are Of great extent. We happened 10
stop at a farm house one fine autumn after
noon when the COWS were about to be
MIXED. A herd of over one hundred was
grazing homewards. The women took
their positions with stools and closer to the
house, and as the cows approached, names
were called out which at first, were, we
thought, addressed to the milk maids.
Rosa, Florenza, Giulia, SpoSa, and many
names, which were noted by us at the
time. were called out by the overseer or
one of the women, and we were astonlshed
to see COW after COW cease feeding or chew
ing the cud and make direct, sometimes,
at a trot, for the woman that usually milk
ed her. The practice we found was not
confined to one farm, all the COWS on each
farm knew their respective names, and
took up their position, the open, inst as
readily as the individual members OF some
large herds in this country turning from
their fields to take up their places IN the
sheds.
