Iowa Homestead.

Notwithstanding all that has been
written in agricultural papers on the sub.
ject of butter-making, farmers and their
wives will insist on retaining the dash
churn. and thus giving themselves extra
trouble, damaging the quality of butter.
Once more we say, fire out every kind
and quality of churn that has dasher or
paddle, or anything else inside. Use q
box or barrel churn only. Use Their
mometer, and learn by experience to
use it right. Don't let your cream get too
old. Churn until the butter begins to
come, about thirty-fve minutes if you
have everything right, and then put in
cold we'll water to reduce the tempera-
ture, then turn very slowly till the but
ter gathers. Then run off the butter
milk and wash your butter in the churn.
It should not be in q great mass, but in
graLules, like mustard seed or small
wheat grains. After you have thus
washed it take it out on a lever butter
worker, and salt to suit your taste, and
put away without further working in a
cfol, clean place till you are ready t.
marketit. Then work enough to incor.
porate the salt evenly, without any
streaks. and no more. By doing thi,
you will be able to command full prices
and save yourself lots of grief and NOR
LITIGATION.

Points and Items About Kansas Stock.

more than in 1880. The estimated value
If these cattle is $67,O00000.
The breeders OF English Shire horses

sas, recently bought a fine imported
Galloway bull from Mr.. Il. NJ. Platt, the
price paid being $500.
Sabetha Herald: The farmers have
been bringing in great many hogs the
past week, Notwithstanding the prices
are low, several car loads have been
shipped from here the past few days.
Concordia Empire: The butchers say
they never saw SO many cattle hides be-
ing brought into market as there is now.
Cattle are dying in all parts of the county,
and no one appears to know the cause.
A daub of tar on the noses of sheep is
an effective preventive against the at
tacks of annoying grubs. The sheep
grub is not always fatal, but very dis
agreeable, and doubtless has bad effect
on the general health OF the animal.
Garden City Sentinel: It will take close
watching to keep cattle off the places on
the range burned bare by the recent
prairie fires. In one or two places these
districts are so extensive that should
cattle be allowed to drift upon them
many might perish.
Florence Tribune: J. G. Morse has
erected, on his rancho in Chase county,
one of the finest barns in this section.
He has OF late directed his excellent bust
ness power to cattle raising, and judging
from his extention of the business it is
proving profitable investment.
Wichita Eagle: H. L. Hill had drove
of $50 nice sheep driven in from his farm
one day last week and put into the yard
at his stock market. The city butchers
were then invited to inspect them, and
they selected fifty head from the flock
which they will doubtless serve to the
public as mutton, sheep and spring lamb
eight years old; the last clause in the
pronunciation being silent or spoken in
a subdued. PARKWAY whisper. Well, it
won't kill anybody; we are used to it.
Give US lamb or give us death!
Wichita Eagle: The packing house is
now running in full blast, and Cal. Stew
art is building an Office near the packing
house. There were one hundred and
fifty hogs in the yard one day recently
awaiting their turn to die. The victim
is driven up fight of steps and when
he reaches the top a trap door is drawn
back and his porkship is Knocked in the
head and is thep assassinated again by
cutting his throat, after which he is
soused into a big trough of boiling water,
rolled about few times, then pulled out
onto big table where couple of men
make the hair fly off him at lively
rate. The slaughtering capacity is fifty
a day.
