breeding Fowls for Err,

We believe heartily in purchos;no
fowls and eggs for Matching for the inn,
provement OF farmers ilocks of poultry.
Jndicious mixture of breeds, or the trial
OF u breed i'll its purity, will accomplish
much But that, of course, is not
all there is in breeding. In the Same
flock, out of the same litter of pu,e.
bred fowls, will be some that have n
greater capacity for egg production than
others. Save the eggs from these for
setting. Keep on in This selection for
egg products, while most breeders ara
distIacting their efforts by giving their
attention TO n dozen less important
points. In few years you may thus
create distinct breed, whose special cx
cci!encc will be the production of more
eggs IN year than hens ever produced
before. When this excellence is assured
IN any breed, its owner can got fancy
prices Tor eggs whose progeny will prove
true to this characteristic, though fancy
prices for eggs will not be needed TO
enable the owners of such fowls to make
them profitable. But take care when YOU

present poor stock. Get the eggs of the
best laying breeds to begin with, and

Different Processes of Churninr.
In the process of churning the crenm
is cxpo:ed to n largo quantity of ar
and consequently OF oxygen, which is
drawn in and expelled by the motion of
the churn. Cream that i sweet. or even
sweet milk. becomes somewhat sour
during the long-continued churning re-
9uired to bring the butter, aud the
flavor Of butter thus made is exceeding
~ delicate and refined. 1t is much liked
by some persons in this condition. but is
not popular with tho ma ority of con-
sumcrs. But this kind of butter. when
well packed, gradually acquires the full
nntty flavor which characteri.cs the best
quality, by an internal change ind tho
production of butyric acid, no doubt
produced by the presence of a very
small quantity of cascine which still re-
mains in the butter. So that if the but
ter is intended for packing in tubs, and
not Tor Immediate use, the cream may be
ch1rned when but SO slightly nc d rs not
to be rcrceptibly sour to the taste. If
the butter is for immediate use the cream
should be perceptibly sour, condition
which will occur in sevcnty-two hours
from the milking at n temperature of
siNty'two degrees in pure atmosphere.
lhat is, the cream is SKINNED after the
milk has stood thirty-six hours, and then
remains thirtysix hours in the Jar, being
stirred gently every two hours.
