THE CAUSE AND REMEDY OF
STREAKED BUTTER.

Butter is made streaked by uneven
sailing. Salt deepens the color of
butter a little, and when it is not
evenly distributed, the part which
gets little Or none is paler than that
which gets the most, hence the
streaks. 1t is no certain evidence
that the sailing is evenly done at all
times because it is done by the same
hand, for the same hand does not
always do its work alike. If our
friend wants to make a good job&
it, he should not season his butter
with salt at all. He should do it
with brine. He should gather bis
butter in the churn not in a lump
but in granulcs, by stopping the
churn when the butter has come
enough to rise readily to the top Of
the buttermilk. Then draw off the
buttermilk and rinse the butter in
the churn with cold water till it will
run off clear, and then immerse the
butter in brine as strong as it can
be made, and let the butter remain
in it from n to five hOurS-better
five than one and if it remains i'll 10
or II or "a hours, it will do no harm,
and in fact be all the better for it.
By having the brine at about 6O
degrees when the butter is taken
out of it, the butter will be evenly
sailed and ready for pressing into d
solid form for packing or for putting
in any desired shape for use or
market. He can in this way AVOID
streaky butter not only, but AVOID
working altogether, and thus secure
the best possible quality to his pro-
duct, and with the least possible
labor.-Prof. L. B. Armold, IN Farm
and Home.

EFFECT OF COLD ON FATTENING PICS
In the feeding experiments at tho
Kansas Agricultural College tbar,
occurred unintentionally a condition
that furnished a fair test Of tbo
effect of temperature on fatteninu
pigs. Ten pigs yer fed, nine vera
protected while one CHANGED to bp in
a projection of the pen, leaving #
wholly exposed. In January there
was a severe cold spell, and tbo
exposed pig lost exactly six pounds
while each of the other nine that
were protected gained in amounts
varying from five to ten pounds
each. This little circumstance is
sufficient to show the Importance of
keeping fattening pigs warm, or
perhaps, what is equally well, and
which is followed by many, fatteu
before any severe Winter weather
arrives.

ment should begin with reference to
%barrenness and the fixing the number
of ears to the stalk. When we have
rooted out barrenness, and caused
euery stalk to bear a fixed number
of ears, not less than three, we
should then begin a crowding system
and continue it persistently until our
seed will produce the maximum
crop. Where the limit is no one
knows. The writer docs not think
25O bushels Of shelled corr an i'm
possible yield, and he yet hopes to
see the day when he will produce 1t.
The seed used in the above expert
ment was obtained from a friend.
When given to this friend ten years
ago by the writer, it had been very
much improved by five years careful
selection. Now it has sadly degen-
Grated for the want of proper selec-
ton and cultivation, and the result
is far below what it would have
been. The writer intends continuing
his experiments with the seed
selected this season, and in ten years
he hopes to have a perfect white corn,
suitable TO the southern country,
that will produce from 100 to 25O
bushels per acre, according to the
soil, the preparation, method OF
planting, manuring and method OF
working.
THE LESSON.
The writer contends that what
has been done on the 1-175 of an
acre can be successfully done on an
acre, and that what can be done on
one acre can be done on every acre
of good land, properly prepared,
we'll cultivated, and with good seed.
Is there any sense, reason, or
proof to the contrary on~the side
of doubling Thomases? 1t takes
only a little careful experimenting
to find out how little we really know
and what wonderful facts lie within
such easy reach.

EDITOR PROGRESSIVE FARMER
Every good man in North Caro-
lima rejoices in her prosperity and
his State pride and love of home for
bids him from interfering with any
Of the great enterprises which have
for their object the betterment of
the people. We are accustomed to
the idea at least of Investigating all
political, social and industrial irreg-
uIarities, and Of holding somebody to
to account if there be wrong doing
in high places. There is no treason
against the State nor the powers
that be in this, but it is simply a
reiteration of the old doctrine rhrt
the government should be run in
the interest of the people and to do
the greatest good to the greatest
number. The farmers of North
Carolina are great in numbers, they
are great in taxpaying, they are
great in patriotism, they are the
heart, soul and "back-bone' to the
commonwealth, and yet how little
is being done to help them while
they are feeding the State and bear
ing the burden Of her taxes! Oh
yes, some will say, there is the Agri-
cultural Department, established
especially for the farmer, and the
Experiment Station and more
recently the Experiment Farm, of
which Governor Scales said, when
laying the cornerstone, that ait
was the first ever laid in North Car
DINA in the interest of Agriculture"
And what do you think, Mr.. Editor,
is the first step taken in "the inter
est Of :agriculture?" They tell us
Of the "physical study of soils"
temperatures" "moisture, and the
concurrent meteorological obser-
vations,' all of which is so simple
and is looked upon as a long stride
towards high and progressive farm
ing in North Carolina. 1t is so clear
aud easy Of comprehension to the
ordinary farmer, and applies so
direct to his daily needs. Hurrah!
tor the concurrent concentrations
OF fOrtuitOus circumstances %superin-
duced by a succession of unpar-
allied condolences!
What the farmers Of North Caro-
lima want is simple, direct teaching
how to perform the plain every day
work on the farm to a profit and to
have a school in which to educate
their boys and girls so hat when
they begin life's work they will be
prepared for it, SO trained that they
will know how to work and be wiI-
ing to do 1t. Let us have the Agri>
cultural and-Mechanica1 college,
wlselyfocated and operated in the
interest of the farmer. Let the Pro
GREssIvE FARMER continue it's brave
and noble work until the University
shall disgorge that $4,000 which of
right belongs to the Farmers of
North Carolina. Yours truly,

Is 1T issues, is it men, or is it the
spoils for which the element that OPP
posed the democratic ticket was con
tending last Monday? 1t could not
be issues, for there never was two
things more Numerically opposed
than the wheeler platform and the
platform of the republicans, and no
two things conld be more diametric-
ally opposed than what the wheelers
claim to be and what the republicans
are In their public policies. Neither
could it be men, for with all the
wheeler claims that could be raked
up among that not over modest set,
yet you would not find any who
would dare to set up the claim that
the men on the wheeler ticket were
better men than those on the demo
cratic ticket. Now then seeing it
was not issues, nor yet, men the two
things which can be contended for
on principle In politics, the conclu
sion is beyond dispute that their
contest and prime object was spoils.
But we needn't carry this argument
far enough to show the disreputable-
ness of such a contest carried on by
such combination. We clip it
right of with the remark that ac-
cording to our latest information the
spolls were just little beyond their
reach on last Monday. About sun
down of that day they gave out the
notion Of their grand sweep which
they had plotted for that occasion.

They find an aggregate, on some
counts, Of over twelve millions in de-

The Situation at Columbia.

COLUMBIA, S. c., September ST.
The shock at 800 last night, anoth-
er at 11:20 and another at 1915
this morning were the only earth
quake incidents here in the last
twenty four hours. Last night
many families in this city refused to
sleep in their houses. A few more
refugees arrived to day. In the
churches to day fcrvent prayer were
offered up for the people of Charles
tor and Summerville, and the earth
quake was made the subject of sew
eral sermons.
The conyicts in the State Peniten-
tiarv have been under terrible ex
citement since last Tuesday night
and their howlings have been awful.
Last evening when the hour arrived
for putting them in their cells those
were to be confined in the secons
story Of cells we're startled by cried
from below. "Come down, come
down" A panic seized the crowd
and they rashed down the stairs to
the prison yard. The officers then
forced them back, selling the lead
ers, shackled and logged them, after
which quiet was restored. 1t was
evidently combination of flight
and efforts at uprising and escape.

nv force Of the earthquake.
Near Ten Mile hill fatal acct
dent occurred on Tuesday night.
The down Columbia train jumped
the track. Engineer Brown and
Fireman Arnold (colored) were bad
" injured by the tremendous leap
which the train took in the dark un-
der the unseen influence Of the shock
that tiismantled the road. 1t is said
that the earth suddenly gave way,
and that the engine first plunged
down a temporary declivity. It was
then raised on top Of the succeeding
terrestrial undulation, and having
reached the top of the wave a sudden
swcrving of the force to right and
left hurled the i'll fated train down
the embankment. The train at the
time of the earthquake was running
along at the usual speed, and when
about a mile south of Jedbury it en-.
countered the terrible experience.
1t was freighted with hundreds Of
excursionists returning from the
mountains. They were all gay and
happy, laughing and talking, when,
all of sudden, in the language of
one OF the excursionists, the train
appeared to have left the track and
was going up, up, up. into the air.
This was the rising wave. Sudden
ly, it descended, and as 1T rapidly
fell it was flung first violently over
to the east, the head of the car ap
parcntly leaning over at an angle of
forty five degrees. Then the train
righted and was hurled as with a
roar of artillery over to the west, and
finally subsidized on the track and
took plunge downward, evidently
on the descending wave.
