AGRICULTURE.

WASHING BUTTER. gathered
In the churn always contains more or
less buttermilk, which would soon
spoil the butter If not removed. There
are two ways Of removing it-one is
by kReading in water or brine, and the
other by kneading 1t without water.
One is called washing, the other work
ing. The former removes it much more
rapidly than the latter. The flavor of
the butter which has been washed Is
different from that which has not been
washed. The difference between wash
ed and unwashed butter Is analog )us
10 the difference between clarified sug-
ar.and uLclarifled. The former consist
of pure saccharine matter; the latter Of
sugar and some albuminous and fla
voring matters, which are contained ia
the juice of the cane mingled with 1t,
which give flavor in addition TO that
of sugar. Brown sugar, though less
sweet, has more flavor than clarified
sugar. When unwashed, there Is
always q little buttermllk and sugar
adhering to the butter that gives iG a
peculiar flavor, in addition TO pure
butter, which many people like when
1t Is new. Washing removes all this
foreign matter, ana leaves only the
taste Of the butter, pure and simple.
The assertion is often made, and many
people believe, that water washes out
The flavor of the butter, but ir only
cleanses the buttermilk, sugar anu
milk acid which may adhere TO 1t, just
as clarifying sugar removes from it the
foreign matter which mobiles its true
flavor. The flavor of butter consists OF
Iatty matter which does not combine
win water, therefore cannot be wash
ed by it. The effect of washing upon
The keeping quality of butter depends
upon the purity Of the water with
which the washing is done. If the wa
ter contains no foreign matter that
will affect the butter 1T will keep better
tor washing the butternliik out than by
kneadlng IL out.

KEEP THE CHICKENS WARM..-Fowls
suffer more from sudden changes OF
the weather than they do from excess

year colds, Group, catarrh and the
numberless ills caused by the chilling
air and stormy weather, are TO be care-
fully guarded against. 1t is well 10
rely more on the ''ounce of prevention
than on the pound of cure" In this
climate mild sunset is often followed
by high, cold winds. See TO it that the
chickens are protected at night from
these sudden changes. 1t Is lndispen-
sable that for the next few months
the fowls be provided with warm, dry

Whole days indoors. Keep good
sized box OF sand and coal ashes, well
sprinkIed with sulphur, for their ac-
commodation inside. In cooping chicks
at night it must be- remem bered that
the want OF ventilation will prove as
fatal as draughIs OF cold air.
