Milk and Butter Production,

For the benefit of your lady read
ers l will give my experience the
past twelve years In handling milk
and butter for dairy purposes. The
first and most point in the produc-
tion of pure mix aud butter is
cleanliness. / always use tin yes
sells for my milk; these should be
scaldel and then washed twice with
cold water before they are ready for
milk. Those who have spring
house in which to keep their milk
and butter have many advantages
over those who are deprived of it.
It is very essential that the milk
should be freed from animal heat as
soon after taking from the cow as
possible. When you have spring
house it is best to have pens with
raised lids, holding from one half
to two gallons, with fine gauze wire
in the top of the lid to allow the es
cape of animal heat and impure
odor contained in the milk. About
one gallon of milk. to each pan is
sufficient. Never agitate, or add
fresh milk 10 this, uutif all'the
cream has come to the surface,
which is usually from twenty-four
to thirty-six hours, then remove
all the cream from the surface with
a skinner made for the purpose.
The cream is placed in vessel to
itself, and the SKINNED milk, if suf-
ficiently turned, is stirred with a
common dipper, which furnishes my
table with as nice buttermilk as any
one could desire. I usually save
the strippings, or last milk, and
pour up with my cream, as the last
milk contains the largest amount of
butter. The cream when ready for
the churn should never be under
$50 or over $50 to make a finequal
ity of butter. l use thermometer
to test the temperature of my
milk or cream before churning.
When your cream is within this
range it takes but few minutes to
the butter from the milk,
but in proportion as your cream is
zoo WARM OF GOO COIQ, 81 uuCus
more time will be required to sep
arate the butter, with an inferior
grain to it, than if churned at the
proper temperature. Be sure and
never churn too long,or you will de
story the grain of the butter. Milk
when viewed through microscope,
the butter is enclosed in globules or
sacks, and when these are broken by
too long, the softer will
be your butter. Another great mis-
take that ladies make in the winter
time, the milk is made too warm
by setting it around the fire, or adj
ding boiling water to bring the
milk to the proper temperature, the
result of this course is white spon-
gy butter. When the cream is too
cold it is best to set your vessel con
tanning the cream in a vessel of hot
water until you bring it to the
right temperature. 1t should new
er require over ten to fifteen min
utes to churn when your milk is
at the temperature mentioned
above.

Bill Of Fare for Egg Production.

"Fannie Field" in the Prairie
Farmer, gives her methods of
feeding; etHens must be supplied
with egg making material, and
this must not be consumed as fuel
to keep them warm. Success pre-
supposes comfortable and clean
quarters. Corn is fatning, but on
this ration alone, even in abundance
there will not be eggs enough to
pay for the trouble of shelling the
corn.
"My way of feeding fowls in win
ter-and it works wonderful we'll
is to give them a warm breakfast
every morning just as soon as they
can see to eat, and few handfuls
of grain at noon, and a full feed of
grain at night. The warm break
fast is made of vegetables, turnips,
beets, carrots, or potatoes boiled
and mashed up with wheat bran, or
oatmeal scalded with skim milk, or
refuse from the kitchen boiled up
and the soup thickened with bran,
and when apples are plentiful we
boil them and mix with corn meal
sometimes one thing and some
times another; we don't believe in
feeding one thing all the time, and
the hens don't believe in it either.
1 don't think that my biddies need
the noon feed because they hunger
but / give 1t to them to keep them
our of mischief. l scatter it around
among the litter under the
shed and let them dig it out. This
lunch is generally oats or buck
wheat, and once in awhile sunAow-
er-seed. At night I generally feed
corn, but if l could get wheat cheap
enough l should feed that at least
half of the time; and green food is
supplied by fastening cabbage-heads
up where the fowls can help them
selves. Sometimes when somebody
has time to attend to it we give
them a chance of green food in the
shape of raw turnips or sweet ap
pies chopped fine"

There has been more clover seed
saved by the farmers of Tennessee
this year than ever before in the
history of the state, in addition to
the increased acreage cut for this
purpose, it was better handled and
the yield per acre was correspond
ingly larger. We have heard of
NUN ber of crops that gave from five
to six and some as high as eight
bushels pei acre. Seven years ago
there was not five hundred bushels
of home grown clover seed gathered
in the state and more than 100000
were annually sent out of the state
by the farmers to purchase these
seed; the crops gathered this year
will very near supply the home de
mand, and should this industry in
creased for the next three years as
it has for the past two, we will not
only have seed for home consump-
tion, but our exports will bring in
large revenue.
There is no reason why clover
seed should not be standard crop
with US. We are admirably located
for it, aud our clover hay should
and would be as eagerly sought
after as the bright No. l timothy Of
the north, if we were to give it the
attention in cutting and saving that
the northern farmer gives his .timo-
thy; our lands certainly need this
great natural restorer to fertility,
and after cutting crop of hay and
a crop of seed clover, there will be
by the middle or last of September
another crop TO turn under, that by
no means will be the least valuable
one to the farmer: if clover seed
was only worth three dollars per
bushel and his crop gave him but
three bushels per acre it would GER
tainly pay him to save the seed. A
crop thus handled pays for itself
three times, first in hay, then in
seed, and last, and as we said above,
by no means least, as a fertilizer.

/ have made my own way in this
world, said Governor Butler..in his
speech at middletown, Masschu-
etts. Why? Because as a boy 1
had time to reflect and think, and
when 1 came to a city at the age of
ten years, I have right to say that
l was advanced in my studies and
in the knowledge of what had
studied as though 1 had been kept
at work all the time at school.
Who is the speaker of your house
of representatives? Another men
born, as l was, on a farm in New
Hampshire. Who is the mayor of
Boston? He was born within six
miles on a rocker farm than mine,
if possible. 1 give this advice of
an old man who is passing away,
and whatever may be its mistakes,
it has no mistake in sincerity and
earnestness. And again, say now
as began, that the wealth, the
prosperity, the steadfastness, the
hope of religion, and of liberty and
of freedom to the world rests on
the producing and on the country
population of this commonwealth
and on that of the United States.

Augusta Constitutionalist says, a

so vicious that he took him to At

or two afterward two Cobb county
young men went to Atlanta to buy
some Jersey stock, and his identi
cal bull was sold to them as a
thoroughbred Jersey for $175.

what has been wicked in my career TO the

young nun who expiated his crime on
the gallows at Springfield, Mass, on Fri
day. There are texts that can better
stand alone than with any sermon being
tackled to them.
The New York Herald has been publish
ing some startling statistics in relation TO
the liquor traffic in that city. There are
over ten thousand rum shops in New York,
while the shops for the sale of bread.
meats and groceries do not number much
over seven thousand There were arrest
ell in the city last year for intoxication and
disorderly conduct more than forty thou
sand persons. The localities where the
liquor traffic is greatest are those where
crimes are most frequent and poverty most
abOunds. The increase of these evils is
alarming those citizens who have regard
for the interests of the city, and some of
the more prominent of them are encourag-
ing an Episcopal Church movement that is
intended to lessen them. Many of those
more active in it are total abstainers, but
they do not demand that all who cooper
ate with them shall come up to their stan
dard. 1t is sought to lessen the number of
places where liquors may be sold by legal
enactments, and to secure the enforcement
of the laws against sales on Sundays, sales
to minors, and sales to intoxicated per-
sons. The persons interested in this move
ment have not, many OF them, been known
heretofore as identified with the cause of
temperance, and their cooperation will
eventually greatly help the work in which
the more radical reformers have been en-
gagged.
