was mixed with manure, or was use'
us it originally came from the saw,
which would make considerable differ
ence. Neither was it stated how much
was used in the hill, nor whether the
sawdust was from hard or soft wood,
all of which are very important con-
siderations. But it is hardly probable
that this article in its native state will
be used very extensively as a fertilizer
until more is known about it, although
if as stated, the yield Of potatoes can
be doubled by its use, at the present
time, when there are so many portable
mills at work in the general destruc-
tion of the forests of New England,
and sawdust is accumulating in guam
titles, if it can be utilized as protita'
bly,, it certainly should be done.
Within a few years farmers in
Columbia, Ct, have been in the
habit of carting from a permanent
saw-mill the sawdust that accumu-
lated. using it as an absorbent and for
bedding purposes, but no claim has
ever been made, nor has it been sug-
gested, that of itself it possessed any
agricultural value further than its
absorptive power, but that it exerted
a remarkably beneficial mechanical
effect upon the manure with which it
was incorporated, so that it very much
aided it's disintegration or pulveriza-
ton, a thing that is always desirable.
Sawdust is substance that is useful
to the farmer in the office it performs
as an absorbent and disintegrator, and
also in the use that is so satisfactorily
made of it for packing around the ice
of an ice house, but its further use has
not yet been satisfactory proved.

A New Use for Sa,vdust.

A writer to the Home and Farm,
Kentucky, makes mention of the use
of sawdust in planting potatoes, and
asserts that the product where sawdust
was used was twice as great as where
none was used, and larger and
smoother. 1t was not stated whether
the sawdust was used as an absorbent,

reaches the churn by keeping it long,
or, what is practically the same, by
keeping it in too warm place; 50 de-
grees is about the right temperature if
the cream is kept week; if it is kept
at 81 degrees three days is long
enough. White specks are produced
in butter by overchurning or by having
the cream too sour. Either of these
falts produces curd in the milk, and
the small flakes of this cannot be
washed out of the butter. So will the
use of salt containing specks of lime
which unite with the butter and form
insoluble lime soap. White specks are
covered up to large extent by using
good coloring, which is made of oil as
the solvent. But this use of coloring

One Of the characteristics of the
tie Indians is their adherence of all
objects which might serve to remind
them of acts of violence and death
among themselves. Mr.. Richard Syl.
vester, the disbursing officer of the
Ute commission, has lately mentioned
two instances of this trait, one Of
them impressive and the other ~ridicu-
lous. When they had buried their sec
ond chief, Waro, who recently died of
pneumonia, they shot his ponies over
his grave, burned his tepee and cast
into the flames every object that had
been identified with him. A few days
before this the head chief, Sapevanaro,
who is opposed to education, had dis
pute with member of the tribe who
wished to send his children to school.
Finally, when arguments had failed,
the chief seized a quart bottle of ink
and broke it over his opponents head,
much to the detriment of that organ
and of the walls apd furniture of the
room. Thereupon the rest of the In
dians in great dismay set to work at
removing the evidence of the conflict
and whatever could not be completely
cleansed was destroyed. Finally only
stained map remained, and the Utes
were determined to burn that also, but
as it was the only one at the agency
the officers ir fered, at which the
superstitious creatures bitterly COM
planned.

How Butter May be Spoiled.

Good butter may be spoiled in
churning. Over-churning ruins the
texture and changes the proper waXi-
ness to a disagreeable, sickly greasi-
ness. This is the more easily done in
a churn with dashes, which press the
butter against the sides of the churn
and squeeze and rub it until it is
spoiled. Too long churning spoils the
quality by the oxidation of the butter,
and the premature formation of strong
favored acids in it, the full presence of
which we call rancidity. 1t may be
spoiled at too nigh a temperature, b.
which it is made soft and OjlIna93P.
