A Method for Improving Hancid Hut.
kaps3s Farmer, 81
An authority in dairy matters explsins
how rancid butter may be greatly improy-
| ed, and almost restored TO Its original ex.
cellence, by kneading it well in fresh milk
and then washing thoroughly in cold wa
ter, with the addition of little salt. ln
almost every parcel of butter sorse small
proportion OF casein is retained, and the de-
composition Of this is accompanied by the
formation OF butyric acid, which causes the
unpleasant taste and smell known as ran
cidity. This butyric acid is readily soluble
in fresh milk, and hence can he easily gol
rid of by the simple method Of treatment
| recommended.

A Nebraska farmer claims to have made
six hundred pounds of bright sugar and one

sugar was obtained by hanging the thick

To Keep Worms from Celery.
IExchangel
The best preventive for worms in celery
is TO mix plenty of salt, SCOT and fine lime
| with the manure that is TO be employed in
the trenches This should be added to the
| manure some weeks before il is used, dur
ing which time it should be turned now and
| then. The mixture above named also ben
efts the growth of the celery, which will
! lift clean and spotless compared with that
grown in the ordinary way.
| A Garden is Of Incstim able Value 10
| the Farmer.
| kansas Spirit.I
| Those who have made careful expert
ments and have had large experience in
raising vegetables tell Us that there is a
| marked difference to be observed between
vegetables grown upon soil where chemi-
| Gals and minerals are used as fertilizers
] and those grown under the forcing pro-
cess of rich stable manure, the former be-
| ing less watery, more solid and OF better
| quality, texture and flavor. This seems to
look very reasonable; and yet most of the
vegetables raised for market near large
cities are grown in gardens very highly en-
riched by stable manure. Our Kansas soil
is so rich that vegetables of large size and
best quality can be easily raised. Our
farmers have not yet made enough OF the
vegetable garden.

farmer than any other ground on his farm

Never Teach Indoors what can be
Learned Outdoors.
kansas Spirit, 5
There is plan maturing by the New
Yerk academy of sciences to use the public
parks as garden schools. The philosophy
Of teaching in these schools is thus summed
up: "Never to teach indoors what can be
learned outdoors; never to explain in the
abstract what can be demonstrated in the
concrete never to teach with books what
can be perceived in objects; never to show
dead nature when living nature is attaina-
bic, and never to require belief when seeing
and understanding is possible" Open-air
life, study and exercise invigorates all the
tissues and functions of the body. The
present methods of school crowding is un-
healthful, generating among the pupils cpl
demic and other diseases. The eyesight is
impaired by cross-lights and close applica-
tion to books the spinal column often be-
comes bent, and the general health injured
by confinement in unnatural positions and
the breathing of bad air. Public opinion
will sometime become SO enlightened rs to
demand more outdoor teaching among our
farming population.
Leg weakness Among Young Tur.
keys.
Prairie Farmer, ST.
The leg-weakness among young turkeys
is probably caused by lack of the bone
forming element in their food. Feed your
young turkeys curds, hard boiled eggs, and
bread crumbs three or four days after hatch
ing; afterwards feed uell-cooked corn-meal,
mixed with curds and seasoned mith black
pepper, all they will eat five or six times a
day. Bone-meal twice a week, one table
spoonful to pint of feed, will he bene6-
cial give sour milk to drink, and best Of
all give your young turkeys free range
every pleasant day as soon as the dew is on
the grass.
The Values 0f Various Grasses.
kansas Spif1t.I
There has been quite lively discussion
going on in certain quarters as to the rela-
tive values of Herds grass and orchard
grass. They are both good and ought to
be grown in the West more than they are
Herds grass will succeed the better on
heavy wet ground; orchard grass will
flourish on light, thin soil. Orchard grass
is the better for pasture; Herds grass for
winter use. Orchard grass must be cut
while in the bloom if wanted for hay
Our advice to Kansas farmers is to get in
the tame grasses As soon as possible. The
gieat obstacle of getting into our meadows
and pastures the tame grasses is the high |
price of seed. To obviate this difficulty |
the farmer must raise his seed. 1t will
take time and care to do this, but it will in
the end save money. If the farmer raises
his seed he will Use it more freely on his
fields and will not feel the stress so great
on his means As though compelled to pay
money.
