Butter Making.

The probable cause of diminished quanti-
~ of butter from sweet cream is churDlng
too soon. To yield well, sweet cream
should not be churned when very new and
fresh. 1t requires age rather than acidity.
But if the operator cannot give it considera-
BILE age, say "a to SO hours at about 60 de-
grees without having II sour, then he had
better let it sour, leaving sweet cream to be
churned by those who have more skill or
better means for keeping it till it acquires
the proper ripeness. Each dairymen should
follow the process which is safest for him
and which serves him best.
The best rule for sailing butteris to salt
to suit the taste of the consumer. There is
no use in applying any particular amount of
salt for the sake of preserving it, because
the very lightest sailing is always more than
sufficient for all the effect salt can have as a
preservatiye of butter Generally one
ounce of salt to sixteen ounces of butter is
used. But If the butter has any undesirable
flavor or is insipid, little more salt may be
used, say one ounce to twelve or fourteen
ounces of butter, so as to obscure in q meas
ure the faulty taste, the favor of salt being
less Objectionable than wrong or defective
taste in butter. But if the flavor is very
fine and full it will not be desirable to hide
it, but ON the contrary to give it more prom
inence, hence less salt, say one ounce to
twenty of butter, will give a better effect.

Growing pickles.

/ have grown pickles for market great
many years, and have found them to be one
of the most profitable market crops have
ever grown. / have usually planted them
after early peas, as this crop natures in am
pie time for planting cucumbers, but II no
crop precedes them l plow the land early
and then replow just before planting. Har-
row and roll until your land is in good con-
dition and tnen lay it off five feet each way,
with single shovel pillow, running it as deep
as possible. The manure for the crop should
be turned over once or twice two or three
weeks before it is used. We generally have
it so fine that it can be readily shoyeled, and
we put shevelful in each hill. In making
hills we either scatter the manure little, or
press it down so as to have it about four in
ches below the level of the ground. As at
this hot season of the year the soil dries
out rapidly, we make the hills three or four
inches higher than we want them, and
when we plant, we knock the top of the
hill off with the fooG, and this gives fresh
moist soil to drop the seed on. We drop
ten or a dozen seeds in hill and step on
it so as to press it firmly into the soil,
and then with the side of the foot push a lit
tie sill over the seed. This is the quickest
and the best way of planting, as one man
can plant several hundred hills an hour,
and by stepping on the seed it is firmly
pressed into the moist soil so that 1t will
spruut quickly, and at the same time the
earth which covers the seed is loose, SO that
the young delicate plants can come up
readily.
never plant earlier than the middle of
June, and often as late as July 10th. Occa-
sonaliy the earliest planting is disturbed by
the striped bug, but believe l never knew
them 10 be injured when planted as late as
the last week in June. If the ground is
moist and the weather warm, they will come
up in four days, and in ten days they will be
in rough leaf, when they should be thinned
to four in a bill, and little fresh earth put
around them. The ground should be thor
oughiy cultivated every week, until they run
so you can not get through them, which will
be if the weather is favorable, in about five
weeks. In six weeks from planting the Ear
" Clusters, we begin to pick, and all this
time the land should be free from weeds
and in fine mellow condition. 1t is the gen
eral custom of farmers to plant the green
cucumbers for pickles, but all our pickle fac
tories prefer the Cluster, and my experience
is that it will yield double, comes into bear
ing much sooner, and is more easily gather
ed. The Cluster will begin to bear by the
time the wires are two yards long, and when
planted five feet each way, will not cover the
ground, so you are obliged to tramp the
vines, but the Long Green will spread so
that you can not get through them without
injuring the vines.-Agricola, in Practical
Farmer.

How to water in a Drought.


In the summer droughts which now and
then occur it is common TO see persons
everywhere at work watering the garden to
keep things alive till the regular rain comes
It is, however, the experience of all that the
more the garden is Wa tered, the more it
wants, and thus ON the whole it does little
good. Yet wa er can be so given as to be
free from this objection. 1t is the harden
ing OF the surface which causes the evil, and
a hard, compact surface ALWAYS dries out
faster than loose one. The proper way is
10 take the earth away for few inches
around the plant to be watered, SO as to
make a sort of basin, and into this pour the
water, letting it gradually soak away. At
ter it has all disappeared and the surface
gets little dry, then draw the earth back
again which had been displaced to make the
basin. This will make loose surface over
The watered part which will preserve it
from drying out rapidly. Tomatoes, egg
plants, cabbages and other plants of this
character watered in this way will need no
renewal of water for several weeks. 1t is a
slow way of getting such work done, but it
is the only sure way of doing it.-Practical
Farmer.

people against medicinal remedies Of which
the component parts were unknown to the

it can be offered than a letter recently re-
