Butter Good and Bad.

The quantity Of bad butter made in
this country is surprising, not in the
West and south only, where farmers
and planters do not understand and do
not care to know the art of making it,
but in the Middle States, and even in
New England, where it is better made
than anywhere else. The chief trouble
is ignorance as to the method of work
ing butter. Comparatively few work
out the butter-milk, and consequently
the butter however sweet at first, will
not keep. A great many people, for
tunately for their palates, nave no idea
what good butter is, being actually in
capable of telling good from had. But
a great many others know so well that
they car not eat any but the best, and
the best is very hard to get and very
expensive also. Even in great cities
like New York. Boston, Chicago, and
Cincinnati, good butter can not be had
except at what is called fancy price.
Here, for example, many families are
obliged to pay so cents pound during
spring and summer, 81 pound during
autumn and winter for prime butter.
Philadelphia butter. as it is named, COM
mands 70 cents to 81 the year round.
The frsf-class hotels and restaurants
always have excellent butter; they are
obliged to have it. But the moment you
leave them, the butter is precarious,
even sus picious. Indeed you rarely get
it. Not enough good butter is made to
supply the demand at any ordinary
rates. You must pay double price to
secure it. 1t is nearly as easy TO make
good as it is to make poor butter: but
farmers have not yet found it out. II
competent persons would go through
the country instructing others
how to make butter, it would be an i'm
portant and benevolent work. What
the quality of butter was in ancient
times is unknown. Many people
think il a modern article of food, but II
seems to have been used largely by the
ancient Hebrews. The earliest distinct
mention of it is by Herodotus, and a
frequent reference is made TO it by
writers of the same age. The Old
Greeks and Romans employed it as an
ointment in their baths, the former
gaining knowledge of it from the
Scythians, Thracians and Phrysians,
while the Romans got butter from
Germany. In southern Europe it Is
now very sparingly used. and IN Italy,
Spain Portugal and Southern France
it is sold by apothecaries medically, for
external application. This is the great
est butGer-making state in the union,
about one-fourth Of all the butter in
the country being produced by New
York-Chautauqua, Delaware, Chem
ango, Jefferson, 81. Lawrence, Orange
and Otsego exceeding all other coun-
ties. Something ike 10000, 600
pounds are said TO be made in the en-
tire country, and its value is estimated
at some $90,000,000 If butter were
properly made, the value Of the pro

AGRICULTURE.

HAVE a sharp spade or thin chisel and
cut under ground every plant or bur
dock, poke weed or other biennial or
perennial plant found growing in the
fence corners OF other places likely to
be infested, and you will soon find your
yearly crop of weeds diminished.
ONE of the plaiaest indications OF un-
successful farming is to see magare GO
ing TO waste or unemployed When
this is seen there is no need of looking
beyond the stable and yard to find out
the condition of the farm, or to judge
of the success of its owner.
INDIAN corn was first grown by Euro
peans in this country at the James Riv-
er settlement in Virginia. in 1908. In
1909 more than forty acres were grown
by the Virginia planters. Now the corn
crop of the United States is one of the
very first importance in agriculture.
For kicking hoss fill an old sack
with hay and suspend it from the loft
by means of rope. in such manner
that the horse will be able 10 kick ii ev-
cry time it swings against him. Let
him kick until he stops of his own ac-
GOius anu NOu viii A4O AiiotS
with him that way.
A MARYLAND farmer thinks he has
found a ''sure cure" for the Canada
thistles. 1t consists in sowing the land
infested by them with buckwheat early
in the spring, allowing it to grow till it
is in full blossom, turning it under and
again reseeding with the same grain.
The last crop is harvested when ripe.
THE weekly (Torontol Globe says the
golden drop wheat as raised there is
naturally spring wheat but that it can
be grown successfully as winter wheat.
That the grain is plump, and as large as
the best samples of fail wheat; the straw
is particularly clean, and has not been
troubled with smut or rust.
A WRITER in French horticultural
journal relates this suggestive expert
ence: After sunset place in the center
of my orchard an old Darrell, the in
side of which | have previously well
tarred. At the bottom of this Darrell !
placed a lighted lamp. Insects OF many
kinds, attracted by the light, make for
the lamp, and while circling around it
strike against the side of the Darrell,
where, meeting with the tar, their wings
and legs become so clogged that they
either stick fast or fall helpless to the
bottom.

Should Sheep be Washedp

George Geddes" is quoted in the
New York Tribune as declaring en-
phatically on this point:
"No! The buyer of wool, if he be
good Judge, looks to the wool he buys
entirelywith reference to the quantity
he will have after all dirt has been re-
moved. In growing the fleece, dirt and
grease abound, particularly in fine wool.
The dirt and grease is of no value to
the manufacturer, and he cleanses 1t
all out of the wool before making it into
yarn. The grower of the wool may
wash it on the sheep, but he will only
take out part of the dirt and grease,
and will still leave much for the manu-
facturer to take out.
"The interests of all parties will be
best served by allowing the manufac-
turer to do all this work. The only
objection that is made to selling un-
washed wool, so-called, is that the
buyer insists on deducting one-third
from the weight, because the grower did
not go through the show of washing the
wool on the Sleeps backs. In this the
buyer is unreasonable. for no such rule
is of universally just application. The
skilled buyer will look at the wool and
make up his mind how much it will
lose in the process of cleansing, and if
he know the value of pound of wool
after it has been cleansed, he can make
a fair offer for it by the pound, just as
it comes unwashed from the Sleeps
back. Washing sheep is an old Gus
tom, but it must fall before modern
progress"

Collie in Horses.

This is one of the most prevalent
complaints among farm horses, and
every one ought to know the best and
speediest means ofrelief. Every farmer
should keep constantly on hand plenty
of salts. 1t is, in many cases, good for
the family, as well as for nearly all the
domestic animals. But the National
Lire Stock Journal gives the directions
for the treatment of horse when
afflicted with collie, and any one who
does not file the REGISTER had better pre-
serve the following directions for collie
in horses: Dissolve one pound of
Gladber's salts in pint and half of
hot water, and add to the solution one
ounce of tincture ofginger. This should
be carefully administered in one dose,
and, if possible, when the horse lies
down, because its administration is
often difficult and unsatisfactory in an
animal suffering with pangs of collie.
Injections, per rectuno, of quart of
luke warm soapsuds, should be adj
ministered and repeated every half
hour. The abdomen should be indus
triously rubbed with straw wisps on
both sides, some pressure being ap-
piled simultaneously. The horse
should be walked about, or a man,
mounted or another horse, should
lead him alongside, but only on q jog
trot. 1t is wrong and cruel to prevent
horse suffering with belly-ache from
laying down. On the contrary, he
should be given liberty on grass plat,
or in straw gard, roomy box-stall or
shed, ample provided with bedding

You say you're looking for ship
The ship long overdue.

But, ahi my vessel has been due
For many, many years.

In youths sweet long ago;
Her pennOn boosted rainbow hness
Her sails were white as snow
With not flaw from stem 10 stern,
And not a pot or stain,
She bore herself right CALAMITY
Upon the peaceful main.
Well frelghted with my rosy hopes,
or which there was no lack,
Ibade her bring me precious fruit
In lien, when she came back
But have waited now, my friend,
So many winters through,

Ny bark and fairy crew.
And yet our ships may yet come in
When we expect it least,
Well laden with e cargo fine,
On which our souls may feast;
Yet should they fail TO reach us here,
There is a Hsrbor where
They may cast anchor yet, my friend,

'Lls' night, just as de ole woman was

began the president of the Lime-Kiln
dub as Paradise Hill grew quiet. at
war de ole man Mosher, an | could see
right away dat he didn't feel in whoop.
in speerits. | reckon you all know de
ole man, an you all know he am hard
workin' and honest. Well, ne was ober
dar to see about his son Hunyadus.
Dat Hunyadus am a powerful bad boy,
an knows it, an de ole man he sot
down an tole me dat de day had ar
rove when he could no longer control
de boy. Yes, he sot dar on de aige of
de wood-box an'cried like chile cause
dat Hunyadas had come home an
cussed aroun', an xed for money, an
declar'd he'd bust de hull family or hev
it. | axed him how ole de boy was an
he wiped his nose an said 16. | axed
him how much de boy weighed, an he
looked up at de ceilin' an said about
100. Den | pushed de tea-kettle furder
back on de stove an | went for de ole
man like steamboat 'sploshun. De
ideah of boy like dat runnin' de house
made me mad all de way up an down,
an | told Mosher if he didn't go hum
an flop dat Hunyadus outer his butes,
an den mop him aroun' till he cried
quits, dat he mus nebher darken my
gate agin. He got up an he went, an
was clus behind him. De boy was
still in de house biuffin' de ole woman
aroun' and kickin' de dog under de
stove, an de opportunity was all dat
could be axed fur. De ole man bounc
ed in, waltzed up to de hayward chile,
and de way he made de fur fly tickled
me all ober. When | left de winder
Hunyadus was wipin' de tears away
wild one han an eatin' cold pan cakes
wild de odder, an de ole man had such
a smile as hewitt seen on his face for
ober seven years" After the applause
had subsidized the president continued:
'Treat your boys kindly an like good
fadder should, but when a son gifts de
big-head an 'emagines dat he KIN run
de caboose widout help from de ole
folks, an dat he am master of his days
an nights, sot right down on him like a

Let him know who owns de cabin an
who brings in de purvishuns."
