To Butter Makers

We heard considerable complaint
from farmers wives last winter,
that they have to churn for hours,
and in some cases the butter will
not come. Now one-half the time
or more will be saved in churning,
by following these directions. Ar
ter the milk is strained set the pan
over some boiling water in an or
binary iron pot on the stove, and
heat the milk until the cream rises
slightly. Whenever the surface be
gins to show wrinkles it is done;
set it away to cool before you put
it in a close place. If served in
the above way it will make more
butter and will be sWeeter and
keep longer. We haye seen cream
served in this way that did not
take but ten minutes churning. 1t
will pay for the small trouble OF
scalding the milk. Try it, farmers
wives, and let us know if it did not
work well.-[J. L. Hersey in Mir
ror and Farmer.

Seeds for the Farmers.

Mr.. A. J. McWhirter, the commits
sioner of agriculture for Tennessee
has ordered from the department al
Washington, D. c., for distribution
among the Tennessee correspon
dents of the bereau the following
varieties of seeds, wiz; Egyptian
corn, pearl millet, upland rice, Mill;
maize, JOhnsons or Mems grass
Texas blue grass, squash of all va
rieties, Lima beans ofrare varieties
alfalfa, stock peas of all varieties
cucumbers of pickle varieties, rare
varieties ofraspberries, watermeIons,
best varieties, Turks cap and green
citron cantaloupes, sorghum, assert
ed varieties.
Capt. McWhirter wrote commits
sioner Loring that he had prepared
a farmers roster, containing at
least the name of one good farmer
in each civil district of the state,
and there being ninety-seven coun-
ties averaging eighteen civil dis
tricts, makes a grand total of LAG
correspondents, every one of whom
wanted and would expect one pack
age of each variety of seed ordered
for experimental purposes.

There is danger of OVERRIDING
the business in the way of Jersey
cattle in this section. It should be
remembered that Jerseys are essen
TALLY and solely dairy stock. For
the dairy alone they should be
raised, and no crosses ever should
be made on them except for dairy
purposes. They are poor beef cat
tie. They are too small and can
not carry the flesh necessary for
profitable market stock. Hence
our farmers should guard against
an over-production or excess of
crosses on the Jersey and look
mainly TO the production of good
beef cattle. Let us have milk and
butter stock in plenty, but we must
not neglect the greater interest now
so rapidly developing of growing
beef cattle.

The grangers of Mississippi have
gone into politics. They propose
to formulate policies for their bene-
fit and see that officers are elected
who will carry them out. 1t is Sc
verely condemned by some of the
papers. For our part, we see no
sense in the grangers' organization
unless they institute measures for
their own good, and political ques-
tions affect or affiict them as much
or more than any other class of peo-
pie, and it is therefore their priv
lege and duty to have and express
and enforce opinions and policies,
political or otherwise, that pertain
to their interests.
