The milk room should be separated
from the living room aud kitchen, aud
it matters little how cool it is If It does
not freeze. The winter milk should
be heated to from 100 to $50 deg. be-
fore setting. and then in cooling from
l30 deg. down to 40 deg. the cream
will rise very rapidly. Il has been
proved, BY the most careful expert.
ments that the cream rises fastest
while the temperature is falling. and
that the rate increases al the way
down to IS deg. Fahr. It has been
noted BY al who have heated their
winter milk that the cream rises faster
than in simmer, aud this fact enables
The butter to be made as regularly and
at short intervals as in summer. But
when milk is heated to 100 deg. the
cream does not get bitter, if properly

with one COW, to accumulate cream for

ly. The common way Of heating, for a
few cows. is to set ten quart pans,
filled half or o-thirds full of milk,
upon . stove. and heating it to the
proper degree. and then placing them
in the milk room. Care must be TAX
ing that all the milk 10 pan is heated
alike. One side Of pan may heat
much faster than the other. ia which
case turn the pan around. But when
considerable milk is to be heated in
winter. get two round pans made. one
large enough to hold all the milk Of
one mess. and the other two inches
Of water in the larger pan and set j,
on top Of the stove to heat Three or
tour pieces Of iron, half or three
fourths of an inch thick, may be
placed in the water, to set the sun ,ller
pan containing the milk upon. The
milk is then heated by the hot water,
aud cannot be burned, and will be
heated evenly. When sufficiently
heated, dip the milk into small pans
aud place in the milk.room. 1t is
very easy to arrange for heating large
amounts of milk. These two paus, for
ten cows, will not cost more than S..

that the cream churns 10 . shorter

BY following this plan excellent but.

quite as much butter can be made

"Aill''System In Corn Culture Al.

A correspondent Of the San Francis.
90 Bulletin, frou the Oregon border,
under date Of November 29th oontri
butes the following account Of . sue.
cessfal experiment Of wheat.growing
on . new system;
ut has been my good fortune dur.
ing the past six months to witness the
growth and yield Of wheat planted and
cultivated in . way new to most people,
Of which ] propose to give you state
ment. D. o. Bissell, who resides on
in Goose Lake Valley. Mcdoc county,
California, Is a practical ~ we'll as .
Theoretical farmer. He holds that the
old mode Of wheat raising-that is Of
sowing from 100 to $50 pounds Of
grain per acre-is wrong, contrary to
true principles Of agriculture, exhaus.
tive to the soil and an Unnecessary
waste Of seed. In conversation with a
party Of friends, hs presented the
proposition, stating further that he
could raise 40 bushels Of wheat to the
acre from one pound Of seed The
idea being secuted a. impossible, he of.
tered to wager $40 that he could do it,
The wager was accepted. whereupou
Mr.. Bissel, on the 9Th day Of last
April, proceeded to put his proposition
to the proof by having one eighth Of
an acre carefully measured in the pres
ence Of witnesses It was subdividcd
into spaces about 1887 inches apart
and two ounces Of seed was planted.
the seed having been carefully
weighed, the grains counted and the
ground spaced so as to take but one
seed in each place. It vas then irri.
gated and cultivated like Iudian corn
Now for the result as harvested in
the latter part of September. The
number Of heads per stool was from 60
to lis we'll developed heads I send
you a sample stool. one Of many from
the plat which contained 135 heads.
llS Of which we're faIly developed.
The number Of grains per head in this
stool was 80. Over one half yielded
100 grains each. Owing to an acci
dent Mr.. Bissell failed to get the ac-
cnrate weight or measurement, but
making all due allowance for that
wasted. the yield was ten bushels, cr
a. the rate Of so bushels per acre. 40
more than the proposition called for.
