BUTTER NIAKING.-A Grange matrOn adj
vises as follows: First milking should be
done regularly, or as nearly so as possible, and
as soon as the milk is brought in, let it be
strained in thoroughly cleansed and scalded
pans When it is cool weather place the
pans on the stove and let the milk come to
scalding heat, not boiling; then remove
and place them away for the cream to rise.
Place the pans separately, without covering,
until cool; then rest tie pans one above the
other with small boards between, and beitg
cool no steam will rise to make dampness OF
mold on the underside of the covers. I
find this process in cold weather an improve
ment in quantity, flavor and color In cold
weather place the churn where it has q
chance to become gradually warmed through
the day, chuTning in the evening. In
warm weather churn early in the morning,
and you will have frmer and yellower
butter than if churned at any other time
of day. / also think milk ought to be kept
where a fresh current of air passes through
the cellar or apartment most of the time.
pouring off carefully and then sailing.
Place it in cool place and let it remain one
or two days, and then thoroughly work out
all the brine. My butter is then fit for
packing or working into rolls to sell. If
yOu pack in oak barrels, place cloth inside
the barrel saturated with brine to prevent
the butter from touching the wood; then
pack the butter firmly, placing a strong
brine of salt alone on top; also place a
weight to keep it in place If do not have
butter enough to fill my jar or barrel at the
time of commencing, ill with brine, pour
ing off each time l wish to put in more
butter and replacing the brine each time.
That excludes the air. have never failed
to keep butter sweet and good for year. |
do not know that you will feel much proited
by my experience, as all my butter making
has been done without any of the modern
improvements-just the simplest way pos
sible.

OILING HARNESS. - Harness is more
rapidly injured in summer than in winter.
1t is sometimes soaked with rain, and again
subjected to heat and drying, and the per-
spiration of horses does it no good. If kept
well oiled all these influences will cause little
injury. There are many different applica-
tions used, and different modes are adopted
for employing them. A common way is first
to wash thoroughly with soap and warm
water, and then to apply neats-foOt oil, as
the best oil for the purpose But a different
course is adopted by others. One team
manager informs us that the first thing to do
is always to apply one or two coats of castor
oil with enough lampblack to give the
proper color. By thus saturating the leather
with oil first, the soap and water applied
afterwards do not penetrate it, and when
leather is permitted to absorb water it
hardens it, and excludes the oil By oiling
first, the dirt is s0ftened so that it is easily
washed off, and thus obyiates much of the
scraping otherwise required, and the whole
operation may be performed at once. After
being oiled, wash it with a sponge and soap
suds, and whom dry, rub over it q mixture
of equal narts of oil and tallow, colored with
lampblack and small portion Of Prussian
blue. This is substantially the process
recommended, and we shall be glad to
hear from those who have tried different
methods, as to their comparative value, and
of the benefit of applying the oil first, and
the fitness of castor oil as compared with
other applications-CouHtjy Gentleman.

RYE AS WINTER FEED FOR SHEEP-ln
some parts of Europe sheep are allowed to
Craze on turnips in the field during winter.
4 portion of the ield-size depending upon
extent of fi0ck-is fenced in, and the sheep
kept upon it until they have eaten all the
roots, when the fence is removed so as to
enclose further supply, and so on until
the crop is consumed. Fields thus treated
are considered to be well manured at but
little cost, and when plOwed over and seeded
in spring the land is in good condition for
giving a good crop.
Root crops have not yet entered as factor
in rotative cropping on the farms of this
country; the weather is usually too dry and
warm for turnips, although beets and man.
gel-wurzel do fairly well under good man.
agement, but moro attention must be given
to deep plowing and subsOilins before root
crops can be made profitable. But good
substitute for winter feed for sheep Ovefa
large portion of the United States is rye A
wheat or oat stubble plOwed over and sown
with rye in August or up to middle of Sep
tember would afford good feed for sheep
during the winter months, and the manure
left by the stock, together with the remnants
and roots of the rye, would form a good
preparation for the following crop. Co.,.

Regarding the fluctuations of prices through
bad harvests we learn that in 1880 and 1881
wheat cost in some places 80 francs the
hectOliter; in 1847 it was as high as so
francs, and during the war Period, 1867 and
1868, 80 francs and 36 francs In 1922, 1924,
and 1925 the price was as low as 8 francs to
8 francs, In each of the ten-ye8r periods,
between 1920 to 1880, the consumption in
creased at the rate of about million hecto-
liters year. Up to 1870 the national pro-
duction yearly sufficed, and the impOrta-
tions were only to a small extent, but be-
tween 1870 and 1880 there was an average
import Of 100000 hectoliters annually,
or more than tenth of the total cOnsump-
tiOn. In the period from 1920 to 1929 the
daily ration of wheaton bread would be
about 800 grams while in 1871 to 1880 it
grew to about $50 grams. NJ Dubost gives
700 grams as the proper daily ration of
wheaton bread for an individual; conse-
quently, in the period from 1870 to 1880,
there was sufficient wheat for 28,000000,
out of population of 37,000,O00, leaving
100000 to be provided for by food other
than wheat.-lIUlerS Journal.

concussion theory. Necessity is the mother
Of invention. Explosions of compressed alF

ing power of the world; why should 1t not
move farming as well? The farmer works

DEEP PLOWING FOR POTATOES. - Dr.
Sturtevant reports that on August 5th he
selected potato plant which was growing
on high ridge, the seed having been planted
six inches deep, and by digging trench
alongside so as to expose section OF the SOIL,
and then washing out the roots with a stream
of water, he found one root reaching thirty
four inches below the top of the ridge, or
twenty-eight inches below the tubers, or
twenty-five inches below the surface of the
ground between the ridges The deeper
roots appeared more fibrous than those that
were near the surface, and they diminished
very little in size after attaining distance
of six inches from the stem. Very few roots
were found above the tubers, and such as
were found were short and thick. The soil
at the extremity of the lowest roots was
coarse gravel, and the heavy character Of the
clay upon which the potato was planted
rendered it difficult to trace the finest roots
in their positions. He could not but note
the appearance, as if the cooler layers Of the
soil were more congenial tc the roots of the
potato than the warmer upper layers.

Hon. JOHN o. FERRILL, presiding.
Yesterday the regular monthly session Of
this court began. A number Of administrs-
tions were granted on estates, and orders for
sale of property, estate applications, etc.
Our attention was directed to quite a
crowd in front of the court house, and upon
investigation we found that two little negro
boys, who are continually In the habit
of running away from their guardian, Mon
day Hsbershsm, had been caught, and, as
an experiment, were sent to the barracks
for a short while, preparatory to being car
ried home. These boys are quite young,
but are In fair way to become vagabonds,
unless checked In their course; and they
set up quite crying match when they were
caught and being carried off, which nstu-
rally attracted a crowd of sympathizers.
From all the facts Of the case, it would
seem that these boys, as well as an elder
brother, have been kindly treated by Hab-
ersham, who was selected and appointed as
their guardian three years ago, but they
have been led sstray by the Ill advice OF
distant relative.

GOOD TEMPLARS.
Declaration of the Principles Laid
Down by the Grand Lodge of the
State of Georgia.

The following is the declaration Of prin-
ciples adopted by the Good Templars of
the State In the late annual Grand Lodge
session held in AcwOTth;
Total abstinence from all intoxicating
liquors as beverage.
The creation OF healthy public opinion
upon the subject by the active dissemina
tiOn Of truth in all the modes known to en-
lightened philanthropy.
That admission to membership in the Or
der goes on the idea of privilege, and not
right, rights not attaching until after ad-
mission.
No license in any form, under any circum
stances, for the sale of liquors to be used as
q beverage.
That we will be satisfied with nothing
short Of the absolute prohibition Of the
manufacture, importation and sale OF in
toxicating liquors for such purposes; pro-
hibition by the will of the people expressed
in due form of law, with the penalties de-
served for a crime of such enormity.
Persistence In efforts to save individuals
and communities from so dreadful a scourge,
against all forms Of opposition aud difficult
ties, until that success is complete and uni
versal.
To this end we invite the cooperation of
all Christian people of whatsoever denomi-
nation or nationality, of all temperance
societies and OF all law abiding people
everywhere.
And especially do we solicit the aid Of
the public press, the mighty engine that
moulds public sentiment, to aid us In driv-
ing the curse of all curses from our fair
land.
