Hho took the first premium for dairy
butter. at the Essex County Mass. } fair
last fall, gives the following statement:
The butter was made from the milk OF
gra.e Jerseys. The milk is strained in
shal ow pans, in a cool room, to stand

put IN and churned as before. When
sufficiently washed, the butter is taken
from the churn before drawing off the
brine. as the small, cheesy particles
which sometimes adhere TO the butter
are better removed than by first draw

The successful strawberry cultivator
uses MS brains as well As bis hands.
First, he takes into consideration local
ity. Ii be has high and low grO-nd
and must use both. varieties that bios
som early and show their blossoms
largely above the leaves, should go on
the high, dry ground. while other sorts
that have dense foliage and blossoms
are well hidden by such, and that bios
som late, can go on the lower soil.
One of the most important points Is
TO extend the season from the earliest
TO the latest time. and he that advocates
the growing of one or two sorts only.
like the Wilson or Charles Downing,
ignores this important point. Set the
earliest sort on so'ithernly spot, and
the later sorts on . northernly decline.
aud to have very early berries keep off
all mulch, and what Is still better. Keep
OLD plantations running for years simply
giving them 4 little compost yearly 10
Keep up vitality of plants, and further.

should be grown in matted rows.
