The best butter makers of the day stop the
churn when the butter is in the granular"
form, /. e., in small granules or grams, none
of them larger than a grain of wheat. In
this stage the buttermilk is drawn out Of the
churn, and cold water turned in to wash the
buttermilk out of the butter. This is then
drawn off and the process repeated until the
water comes away clear. A brine is then
made and poured into the churn, and the
dash is turned enough to bring the brine in
contact with the small particles of butter
The butter is then removed from the churn
and only worked enough to remove the sur
plus brine and shape the butter into rolls or
prints for packing. In this way the grain is
not injured, and the good qualities of the
butter are preserved in all their integrity,
constituting what is known as gilt edged"
butter or course all steps in the process
are taken with due regard to what is required
to secure the desired product, proper tenn
perature, proper cleanliness, and proper de-
liberation and accuracy in everything.

NOTES.

There is about one horse to every five peo-
pie in the United States-that is to say, one
to each family.
The first report of the Maryland bureau of
labor statistics states that fully 90, 458 hands
are employed in the canned goods industry of
the state.
prominent turf-writer alleges that the
betting element among the patrons of horse
racing Is growing less and less every year.
10 the cursory observer the opposite of this
would appear to be true
The more substitutes the business world
secures for the labor of the horse, the great
er does the market value of the horse be-
come. This seems paradox, but it is never
theless true.
Careful experiments as to the digestibility
of certain feed stuffs, made at the New York
station, showed that in every instance raw
foods were more easily digested than the same
material when cooked, and analysis showed
an actual loss of albuminoids by cooking.
Hundreds and thousands of New England
farmhouses show sink. drains and wells that

Springfield Republican, and we fear it is a
true bill.
To produce the seeds of an apple exhausts
the tree more than to produce the much great
er quantity of meat, because they contain a
much larger proportion of the mineral ele-
ments. As much meat or pulp can be grown
on 500 fine large apple trees as upon 1000
small, inferior ones, but the production of
seeds will be only one-half as great. Thus
thinning" not only adds to the value of a
crop, but economies the energy of the tree
for future ones.

Green corn, as a portion of the feed of
hogs, is a good thing; but why any one
should think of keeping hogs on it, making
1t an exclusive feed, passes our comprehen-
sion. Some in discussing the subject, are
surprised that succulent food should ever be
found otherwise than healthy for hogs, but
to US there does not appear to be any mystery
about it. The very succulence spoken of as
a saving condition, is one of the things that
make an exclusive green corn diet unwhole-
some. OF course, much depends on how
green the corn is. 1t may be very green,
the kernels being mere blisters with little
water in them it may be in the milk, and
just right for boiling or roasting, in which
condition it would be much better, but still
too watery for an exclusive diet, If corn were
a properly balanced food, which it is not or
1t may be glazed, and in the dough state in
which stage it would be better still and
about as nourishing as it ever will be- In
this condition, one feeding day of it would
be excellent but the other feelings should
be OF a heterogeneous character-containin
more albuminoids or proteines, as the scien.
lists call them. But the green, washy stuff
should be fed very sparingly. One would
not think of making meal on watermelons
or cucumbers yet these would be almost as
nutritious as very green corn. Nor would
one think of combining the meal to green
fruits, or even to cooked vegetables. Some
thing more solid and nutritious is required.
Yet, the man who is foolish enough to ex-
pect his hogs to grow and get fat on whey,
might suppose he could work and thrive on
water Cruel This would be on a level with
the idea of keeping hogs on green corn ex-
clusively. Some dry and concentrated food
should go with it,
Glover hay alone with green corn would be
an improvement over green corn alone for
hogs. There ought to be reason in all things
No sudden changes should be made from wet
to dry or dry to wet feed The ration the
year round should be balanced as between
dry and succulent foods. Too much green
food is bad in summer, and too much dry
food is bad in winter yet these extremes are
very generally INDUCED in National Lice

l. To make the finest favored and long
est keeping butter the cream must undergo
ripening process by exposure to the oxygen
of the air while it is rising. The ripening is
very tardy when the temperature is low.
?. After cream becomes sour, the more
ripening the more 1t depreciates. The sooner
tits then skinned aud churned the better, but
it should not be churned while too new. The
best time for skimming and churning is Just
before acidity becomes apparent.
8. Cream makes better butter to rise in
cold air than to rise in cold water, and the
milk will keep sweet longer.
4. The deeper milk is set the less airing
the cream gets while rising.
8. The depth Of setting should vary with
the temperature the lower it is the deeper

6. While milk is standing for cream to

quently the fine flavor and keel ing of the
butter will be injured if the surface Of the
cream is exposed freely to air much warmer

I. When cream il colder than the sur.
rounding air, it takes up moisture and impu-
rites from the air. When the air is colder
than the cream, it takes up moisture and
whatever escapes from the cream. In the
former case the cream purifes the surround.

Faru,r.,rC oupc,I.

This week and the remaining weeks Of
September will be distinguished by the larg.
est gatherings Of farmers held the entire year
The state and district fairs, great picnics,
etc, will assemble great crowds daily run
ming in numbers away up into the thousands.
This week, for example, will in more than
one place witness the gathering of from
twenty to forty thousand people, the greater
pert of whom are farmers. What an oppor-
tunity this affords for consultation and united
action and yet TO what limited extent it
is certain to be improved True, small
percentage of these assemblies will listen to
addresses by invited orators, but the bulk Of
those in attendance will take no fraternal
oognizance Of the presence Of other farmers.
Does any one suppose that similar gather
ings of any other craft under the sun would
dispense with 30 little left behind TO show that
they had been held Outside Of the general
lessons which we'll conducted fairs are oalcu-
lated to teach, will any special advantages
accrue to the farmers Of the country from
the September gatherings2 There is little
risk in saying that the opportunity thus az
forded will be very generally neglected that
such formal discussion and action as might
remedy many evils to which farming is sub
iect will receive very little attention that
the nature of the exhibitions will be almost
the only evidence to be spread on the records
of the press that these were agricultural &C.
casions. This indifference is az unreasonable
as it is out Of keeping with the manner in
which men Of other employments look after
their industrial interests. -StOCknidn.

Causes OF Typho,d Feyer.

The most important lesson to be learned by
the public in reference to typhoid fever is
that 1t is q filth dsesse'-not sometimes,
not generally, but always And perhaps the
next in importance is that while the produc-
ton Of the disease probably requires that the
morbiilc agent shall be brought into contact
with the alimentary mucous membrane, as in
food or drink, it is possible for the salivary
fluids in the mouth and throat to absorb the
poison from the atmosphere and thus become
the medium of its transmission to the stom-
ach There Is also third lesson of no less
value to us, viz: That various articles of
food, and especially milk, water and other
fluid foods, possess the same property Of alb
sorbing the fever poison from the atmosphere
and thus becoming the vehicles OF its intro
duction into the system.
My own observations are fully in keeping
with the view that the absorption of the poi.
sonous emanations by the salivary secretions
and by food stored in pantries and kitchens
but especially the latter, furnishes the e1pla-
nation OF nearly all the so-called sporadic"
cases Of true typhoid fever occurring in this
city. In large proportion of cases 1t will be
discovered on examination that odorous ema-
nations from kitchen drains, but more fire.
quently from privy vaults, are easily percept-
ible to the senses in the rooms where food is
stored and where it is being prepared for the
table, In most of the observations l have
made on this subject, it has appeared to be
the privy vault rather than the drain that has
been responsible for the evil The prvy-
vault, even at its very best, in any city or
town, and even when near a rural dwelling

A correspondent of the Mirror and Farmer
tells bad story about sawdust. He says
that on the farm of T. W. Pierce Of Tops
ham, Mass, where "are kept 100 head of
cattle and 20 horses, they had used until
within two years 100 cords of sawdust annu-
ally for litter In connection with this farm
is an extensive greenhouse. For long time
there had been great difficulty here in the
propagation of plants. They failed to pro-
duce vigorous growth became stunted and
nearly void of vitality. One manager after
another would be tried with always the same
unfortunate result. Finally a new man was
obtained who reversed the order of things
His first observation was, the sawdust in the
manure is killing the plants 1t propagates
fungus and vermn.' BY his order the plants
were taken up and all the soil removed from
the greenhouse. New soil was substituted
enriched with manure uncontaminated by
sawdust The plants were then put into this
and the result was they at once sprung into
new life, and for rapid growth and elegance
of bloom this greenhouse has since then had
no superior Upon the result of this expert
ment the use of sawdust on the farm was
abandoned for, it was argued, if manure
impregnsted with sawdust would destroy the
growth of plants in the greenhouse, it would
have a corresponding effect on vegetation
wherever applied on the land. Loan and
sand therefore were substituted for litter for
cattle with straw for the stable. Sawdust
used as litter or lying in bulk in building or
joining it will cause the wood and timber
where it comes in contact to decay quickly
The large barn on the farm above referred
to was built in 1880. Three years afterward
the plank and UNDERTOOK where the cattle
stood and were Uttered with sawdust had be-
come so much decayed that it required to be
laid over with new plank and boards. The
plank and boards joining were perfectly
sound. These facts are becoming known in
this section and the use of sawdust on the
land in any form is looked upon by the far
mers with suspicion"
Sswdust is extensively used by our farmers
for bedding cattle. For that purpose it is
one of the clesnest articles that can be found.
A cord of hardwood sawdust contains ten or
fifteen cents worth of mineral fertilizers
not nearly so large a quantity a. an equal
weight of straw or refuse hay such as is not
used for litter but it costs little or nothing
except drawing, is clearly, and is much used
in the stables OF farmers in this neighbor
hood. II it is as injurious to manure as this
writer represents, the fact should be better
known. few have always believed it had 6
bad effect, while others have thought that il
was of some value of itself, besides its value
as an absorbent and as divisor of the solid
portion of the manure. Carefully conducted
experiments are needed to test its effect.

Even before sheep began to be in especial.
ly bad repute in the Ohio valley, the farmers
of New England were beginning to turn the
cold shoulder toward them. The sheep in
several states were allowed to decrease in
number, and in some states Gas Massachusetts)
wool-growing became almost extinct. Many
old sheep farmers in that region are awaken
ing to a realization that in this policy they
have erred. Many parts of New England are
especially adapted to sheep raising, and through
it kept up fair degree of fertility, which of
late years has been steadily diminishing
Since the recent advance in wool occurred, a
disposition is manifested here and there to
try the flock again. The business has not
lately received many kind words from that
quarter, but we find the following remarks of
a Maine correspondent in the Germantown
Telegraph Somebody must raise wool
We must have the raw material for clothing,
for there seems to be no substitute, and the
hills of New England can produce it to per-
lection. 1t is true we cannot compete with
the Western people in raising corn, or wheat,
or beef, but we can keep pace with them in
growing sheep There is no stock so easily
and chesply kept as the sheep. 1t has been
said, and with much truth, that the farmer
pitches into the barn for six months aud
pitches out for the other six months of the

they do not average but little over one-half of
this time at the barn, while the care that is
bestowed upon them during the winter is very
small compared with other stock. Then,
again, sheep are of value, inst sad of a detri-
ment to our farms and pastures. They eat
plants, weeds, ETC., in our pastures which
other stock refuse, thus acting as primers
But their greater value arises from the fact
that they remove nothing from the soil and
do not impoverish it. On the contrary, they
leave it richer than they find it,"

There are to be found in many good now
ing lands spots more or less frequent where
the grass has become thin, or has been killed
out by worms or other causes Some OF them
may be in the low places where water stood
and froze last winter, and where there is no
lack of fertility to make grass grow but
lack of grass roots or seed These places
may be so small that II would be nconven-
lent to pillow them up and reseed them,
yet large enough to make q considerable
diminution in the yield OF the field. They
may be narrowed or raked over and little
grass seed sown upon them now and thus
brought TO produce good crop Of grass next
year. If any lack of fertility is suspected
as a cause for the grass dying out, SOW lit
tie phosphate or spread little well-rotted
manure at the same time as the seed is sown.
The fall rains will cause the seed to sprout
and take root very quickly. 1t is also good
time now to top-dress the meadows with
bsrnyard manure. 1t will give the grass
fine start early In the spring, as well as
growth this fall, which will protect the roots
during the winter. While we'll rotted ma
nure is the best for top. dressing it is not ab-
solutely necessary that it should be rotted be-
fore it is applied. II put on now the fall
rains will soften it up and carry the soluble
parts of it into the soil, and il there are any
going over the field with q light harrow or a
brush about the last of October. This will
assist in the even distribution of the manure
and put it out of the way OF the moving ma =
chine next year. CUhiUdtOr.
