Telling Trees by Electricity.

Hitherto machines for telling trees
have been driven by steam power, but
this Is sometimes inconvenient, espec-
tally in thick woods, and electric pow
or has recently been adopted in the
Galician forests. Usually in such ma
chimes the trunk is sawn, but in this
case it is drilled. When tho wood is
Of soft nature the drill has q
sweeping motion and cuts into the
trunk by means Of cutting edges on
its sides. The drill is actuated by an
electric motor mounted on carriage,
which Is brought up close to the tree
and shackled to it. The motor is ca
pable Of turning round its vertical axis;
and the drill is geared to it in such q
manner that it can turn through an
arc OF circle and make a sweeping
cut into the trunk. The first cut made,
the drill is advanced q few inches and
another section OF the wood removed
in the same way until the trunk is hall
severed. 1t is then clamped to keep the
cut from closing, and the operation con-
tinued until it would be unsafe to go on.
The remainder is finished by q hand saw
or an axe. The current is conveyed
to the motor by insulated leads brought
through the forest from generator
placed in some convenient site.-Lon.

HOW TO KEEP CREAM.
Directions Which. IL Followed, Will Pre-.
vent Considerable Loss.

Directions Which. IL Followed, Will Ere.
vent Considerable Loss.
Every one knows that there is an i'm
mense deal of money lost throughout
the country every winter on account OF
the poor quality Of butter made by
farmers who milk less than a half
dozen cows and the immediate cause of
this loss is the necessity for keeping
the cream six or seven days before
enough is gathered to make respecta-
BILE churning. Information leading to
better methods for keeping this cream
must be boon to the farmer. The
first thing is to get cream that is pure
and sweet; and this can only be done
by setting the milk where it will not
be contaminated by smells from the
kitchen or bed rooms. This suggests
the necessity for a room by itself for
setting the milk in. II that can not be
done the next thing is to have a
creamery or closet. Why not use box
in the cellar. and either sub,nergc the
cans or put close-titting tops on them.
using. of course. the dcep-setting
method Of Dreaming the mike
Having got the cream sweet and
pure, the next thing is to preserve it
in this condition until you are ready to
churn. This is really the simplest
thing in the world to do if you only 60
about it in the right way. First, get
you clean water-tight barrel and put
it where the water in it will not freeze
more than slight skin Of ice on the
surface. Now use deep tin pail, say
twenty-five inches deep and ten or
twelve inches wide, and have close
fitting cover to it. As you put the
creaxl in it add water to the barrel, SO
as to bring the water even with the
cream III the can. Stir the cream
every time you add new lot. This
water must be kept below fifty degrees.
and if it gets down to freezing, but
does not freeze. all the better. DO not
add any cream the day before you
churn, as that fresh cream would no,
give up its butter.
Cream kept as we have described
will be fresh and ready for churning at
any time for at least two weeks, il
stirred twice day. Remember, how
ever, that if the temperature of this
water rises above fifty degrees for a
whole day then the cream will become
bitter and make poor butter. It is not
necessary to warm up this cream ex-
cept just before churning. when it
should be brought to sixty-fve degrees.
The old notion that cream should be
kept in a jar and set near the fire to
ripen for churning is the most erroneous
notion that ever got into the head OF
farmers wives. It is the immediate
cause OF all their trouble and OF no
value whatever. even If the churning is
done several times week. Cream will
not ripen SO quickly when kept cold.
but will do it quite as effcctually as
when kept warm, only provided little
more time is given it.-American Dairy
man,

Best Way to Ripen Cream.

In Henry Stewards practice in the
dairy, in which he has made Il great
many experiments and tests, he has
found that when milk is set in shallow
pans at a temperature Of 60 degrees to
62 degrees for 36 hours, and then
SKINNED every twelve hours. the
cream may be kept to the end OF thirty
six hours at the same temperature, to
arrive at the best condition OF ripencss.
And cream taken from deep pals
skinned every twelve hours. after
TIVE nty-four hours setting at IS de-
grees may be kept fshours at a tempera-
ture OF 81 degrees to get the proper de-
gree Of ripeness. To reach this per-
fectly, the cream must be gently stirred
from the bottom to the top and thor
onghly mixed when new cream is
added, by which the fresh cream is
soon brought to the same degree OF
acidity as the older cream, the acidity
OF which is partly neutralized by the
sweet cream added. This thorough
mixing is important, AS it equalizes
the acidity or ripencss Of the whole
quantity.-Rural New Yorker.
