Management of Cream.

The american AgricuLtWriSt thinks that
the manage ment of the cream is the most
particular of all the special points in butter
making, both as regards the quantity and
the quality of the butter. Sweet cream
makes less butter, and that of less pleas
ant flavor than soured cream. But if the
souring is carried too far the flavor of the
butter is deteriorated, as the acidity hastens
the production of those volatile acids which
when in excess produce that condition
which is known as rancidty. 1t is to the
very moderate quantity of these acids in
the butter that the pleasant nutty flavor
and peculiarly agreeable odor of good butter
are due. The proper condition of the
cream is called ripeness. The ripening of
cream consists in the production of GER
tain quantity of Tactic acid in the milk, of
which the larger part-from 60 to IS pc r
cent.-of the cream consists. The quantity
of acid in the cream should be no more
than is sufficient to give it a mild, pleasant
sour taste, and this may be produced pre-
cisely by the following methods viii. shall
low or deep cold setting respectively. With
the former the milk is set in shallow pans.
at temperature of Cos to 63o in pure air,

intervals of twelve hours, is kept IN a COW

termed, ana for making excellent butter

after the milk has been set, and is kept in
pail set in the tank at the usual tempera-
ture of AS until there is enough for the
churning, or the cream of each Swimming
may be churned each day. But the cream
must then be ripened before it is churned
This may be done by exposing the cream to
temperature of go to 65' for twenty four
hours to produce the requisite acidity or
ripeness; but this delay may be avoided and
the ripening FASTENED by adding a suf-
ficient quantity of sour milk or buttermilk
of the previous days churning to produce
this sourness. Generally one quart of the
sour milk to twenty quarts of the sweet
cream will be enough for this purpose; the
cream being gently stirred so as to mix the
sour milk evenly through it. The precision
with which this ripening is effected is the
main point in making the best quality of
butter, and to be sure about it the thermom-
eter should be used to regulate the tempera-
ture, and the time should be noted; for tenn
perature and time act together, and one
element being in excess the other needs to
be reduced to reach the desirable effect. If
all the operations of the dairy are performed
with precision, the cleanliness of everything
used, and the purity of the air being per-
fectly secured, then the temperature and
time may be fixed by rule; if the tempera-
ture is increased the time is decreased, aud
vice versa; and thus every time the same
results may be reached.

be next tcs a miracle il one were found,
there is such wide difference between the

Trees 18th stout stems and low, spreading,

tree with six branches starting within two
feet OF the ground will only take up the
room which those branches spread at the

the stem is single one, like letter 1, then

double or triple-stemmed one, like the letter
Y, will crowd the path away to the distance
which the branches spread at hight of six

Points on Tobacco.

The average yield of tobacco in the
United States, says the Farmers Home
Journal, is 731 pounds to the acre. The
yield in seed leaf states is the highest
Connecticut leading, with 1920 pounds;
Wisconsin, 1884 pounds; Tennessee raises
707 pounds to the acre; Kentucky. 1856;
Virginia, 573; North Carolina, All, and
Maryland, 9S3 pounds.
The total estimated Virginia and North
Carolina crop is $4,000 hogsheads, the
greater part of which is bought loose mot
in hogsheads) by manufacturers, or bought
by stemmers and dealers for export, and is
not sampled before leaving this country.
The western crop of tobacco, as officially
recognized and classed by the trade, is
grown in five states-nameiy: Kentucky
and Tennessee, south of the Ohio river, and
in Indiana, Illinois and Missouri on the
north side. The crop of the state of OHIO
is classed and reported with the states of
Maryland and Virginia.
The production in Kentucky aud Ten
nessee steadily and rapidly increases, while
that of the other three "weitern crop
states" Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, con-
tinually decrease, evidencing the peculiar
adaptation of the soil, climate and labor of
the southern states named to the cultivation
of the weed, which men claim to be not
ouly luxury but necessity to their COM
fort and happiness.
Kentucky and Tennessee grow four
fifths of the western crop, and Kentucky
alone makes 60 per cent. of the whole
American leaf tobacco supply of the world
and with adjacent states so per cent. The
full average Kentucky commercial crop is
225, 100000 pounds.
The tobacco crops Of Kentucky and Ten
nessssee for the past three years, including
the phenomenal short crop of 1887, aggre-
gated 6S5, 900 hogsheads, exceeding the crops
of the three previous years $4,000 hogs
heads. and the total production of to-
bacco in Kentucky and Tonne ssee for the
six years ending january, 1887, amounted
to 1.ls5,00O hogsheads, with an estimated

and packing for market, the whole opera
ton lasting but a few minutes. This means
complete revolution in our most improved
dairy methods.
Consider the simplicity and directness
characteristics of all great inventionsl of
the new method, the time, care and labor
saved. and the milk handling and churn-
ing apparatus that will be done away with.
Milk, cream and butter are very perishable
articles, and every hour they are kept adds
to the risk of loss, and the dairyman has
very much to gain by being able to place
pure. fresh butter on the market within a
few hours after the milk from which it is
made is drawn from the cows. So far as
we are able to learn, tests made in this
country establish the claims made by the
Swedish inventor, and the butter extractor
is a success"
The Farm and F'ireside is excellent
authority on such matters as the above. and
is not apt to be carried away by extrava-
CANT reports of new inventions.
If butter can be produced from milk just
taken from the cow, after reducing it to
62o, the usual temperature of well water
and spring water in the pine hills of Missis-
slppi and louisiana, and no lower tempera-
ture needed, dairymen may begin to plan for
putting COWS and diaries in order, with
prospects of grand successes in dairying in
the south in the future. The machinery
will probably be not more expensive than
that used in good diaries at the present
time. But we will wait and see how the
affair ''pans out" after frequent and COM
plete tests

Farm and Stock Notes,

Piles of old lumber give the farm a di-
lapidated appearance. 1t is better to saw
such material into kindling wood than to
have it on the farm as an unsightly OBJ
struction.
System in storage and place for every
thing is as necessary IN the barns and sta
bles as in the dwelling house. The loss of
time in hunting for an article is much more
than the time spared to put it in a proper
place. Everything should be where it can
be found easily when wanted, and every
animal il the stables should have its appro-
pirate stall.
Plaster is an excellent material for
sprinkling over manure that is being mixed
with urine, in order to absorb the liquids,
and also serves admirably for deodorizing
the stalls to a certain extent. 1t is no
caustic, like lime, and consequently does
not cause sore feet, as is sometimes the case
when other deodorizers are used.
1t will pay to rake up the leaves that will
soon fall and store them in some conven-
lent place for use as bedding during the
winter. Dry leaves make warm bed, are
easily handled when being removed, and
also absorb the liquids.

The OLD Time Flower Garden.

Although later years have developed
many new and wonderful beauties of the
floral kingdom, we still cling to the flowers
OF the old-time garden with affection. as
links that unite the past with the present,
and mementos of joyous days gone by, says
Cotmon's Rural World. The chrysanthe-
mum, under its old name Artemi.ia, belongs
to the garden of our grandmothers In
those days it was confined to few colors,
OF which the white and the yellow were the
prettiest. At present the florist has sue
ceeded IN producing many new colors as
well as different forms, which are being
constantly increased to the extent that
chrysanthemum exhibitions are now held
yearly in many of the large cities While
the rose, which must ever hold her position
as queen of flowers, comes to us in new and
bewildering beauty and variety, we should
not forget the lovely old time roses that
grew near the garden wall, nor the rare
sweetness of their fragrance. Though now
we have the lovely White Bride and
NephiJos, the blushing Catherine Mermet,
with Perle des Jardins, and Marechal Mel
of yellow hues to mingle with the vivid red
of the Queen Scarlet and Meteor, still the
beautiful white rose with a tint Of salmon
at the heart, whose bush stood long ago
just inside the garden gate. has place in
our admiration. As we pass along the old
walk the sweet May pinks and lilac; mas Q
the air heavy with their fragrance and are
a fit company for the stately white lily can
didum that stands a perfect emblem Of
beauty and purity. We have now va
riety of beautiful lilies, the Bermuda and
the hardy Japans, of which the Auratum is
justly styled the queen, yet their loveliness
cannot obscure the pretty, sweet-scented
blne flags and lemon lilies that formed an
important part in the ornamentation of
every old-time flower garden.
When preparing beds for bulbs and seeds
we should not forget, if it is only for the
sake of memory, to devote little space to
the occupation of those dear flowers, en-
deared to many of us 10th by association
and their own beauty and sweetness Let
us plant side by side those old favorites
with the new, that the double fragrance
may come to us like a breath of vanished
happiness, mingled with the hope of coming
