PACKING BUTTER FOR WINTER 10
psck butter for winter, begin when the
weather is cool, and the butter can he kept
hard. Free the butter from milk by re-
peated washing with cold spring water.
Salt a. the rate OF cnce 10 the pound, and
set the butter away for "A hours. Then,
re-work, getting ali the milky brine away,
and add one fourth as much salt as before,
to replace the waste. Then pack closely
in layers two inches thick in clean, new,
white oak tubs or pals, which have been
scslded and soaked in brine. When the
tub is full to the top, cover the butter with
piece OF muslin dipped in cold water,
and cover with salt. Fasten the cover, and
put away in a dry, cool cellar.
THE CoLoADo BEErLE-Experience
shows that We have this enemy in our pow
er, if We only make Use of the simple
means at hand for putting an end TO hin-
In many localities the beetles and Larvae s'e
but few in number, and the potato vines |
are strong ard vigorous. For these reas-
ons We hear farmers say, ''the beetle Is do
ing no harm, it is not worth while 10 blth- |
er with him" So the pest is left TO gather
force for another year. III every one pos
sible were destroyed, but few would go into |
winter quarters, TO appear next season. |
While the beetles are thus reduced ~ num- |
bers, We may etiectually prevent them from |
doing much harm next season, by poison |
ing all the late brood wherever they msy |
he found. This is duty every man owes
the community, and no one should he ~
selfish or unmindful Of others rights, or
convenience, as to neglect 1t.
WHEAT AND RYE-Sowing the fall crops |
is the principal work of this month. II Is |
useless to expect a good harvest unless the
SOW ing OF the seed is well done There are
several points to be studied.
The FITTING OF THE SOIL Is oil the
greatest importance Wheat requires
fine mellow soil for the seed, and light
soil TO be well compacted about the sowed
grains. Ii any vacant places are left, as
would be we're the soil cloddy, the rootlets
being exposed 10 the air, will dry and per
ish. Therefore, alter blowing, cultivate
or mario" repeatsuiy unIii all 'he eioos are
made me.

of these, fall Il the best season for tram
planting; a few, like the P:rnnv. will not
bloom the same year If moved in Spring.
hence these must always be transplaBted
now, unless We would lose a season of
bloom. All the early blocmcrs, II set in the
fall, will become well established and How
er we'll next spring.
BEDDING PLANTs.-tieraniums and such
plants should now be at their best. Ii
stock is to be kept over winter, make cut
