GOOD BUTTER MAKING.

It may be A. D., 1915 before the CO.
operative creamery, in some of its forms,
will have superseded farm butter making,
however desirous we may be Of its earlier
adoption by dairy people in general. In
the interval, an immense amount of but
ter will continue to be made at the farm
homes. That this butter would make a
motley collection as in the past, none can
dispute, but there is after all a constantly
increasing amount Iof good butter put
upon the market. ffpeopie could be in
duced to discard their individuality in
making, and adopt some few, definite
rules, SO that butter making could have
system and. sameness about it, there
would be a great advance mades Too
1ew realize that their way of making is
not the method by which the butter is
made which brings the highest price. No
one is selling butter now at advance, and
paying prices, who still clings to- Grand
mother's'' way of making, Neither does
the market put a premium on butter made
/ from actively sour cream, nor butter with
pronounced butter-milk flavor, or made
sharp with oyer-salting. Butter, to bring
a high price, must be of cream not over
thirty-six hours old, slightly acid. II
must be washed free from butter-milk
with weak brine, and salted not to ex-
ceed three-quarters of an ounce to the
yodnd. Butter also needs to be packed

ages now obtainable, and sent TO the mar
ket Immediately. Long-keeping butter
Is no longer called for. Butter is made
to sell, not to keep, and the consumer
says, ''to eat fresh, not held until devoid
Of fine flavor, or aroma" The great
evil is that so much butter is
made by those who have a few
cows that they cannot make a speciality
Of fine butter-making, and so make as
best suits them. This butter made from
old and often fermenting cream, is at the
start destitute Of butter favor. 1t

worked over" with ladies, ''balled up
and sent to the grocery store, unprotected
from the light and air, and then con-
signed to the tshoe box" When at last,
weeks, may be, though it should only
have been days at the most, this butter
finds its way to the city market to be re-
jected and neglected. it is finally sold for
few cents pound, and atcually scoffed
at by the prescribed Oleomargarine.
This making of an originally good ma
terial into low priced, objectionable ar
ticle, that does not attract but lowers the
price and lesens consumption, should be
stopped 1t is both Improbable and un-
businesslike. The market wants good
butter, and discards poor. Why, then,
insist upon furnishing the latter2 If one
cannot make a fine article and get a good
price for it, either change methods, quit
the business, or, what is better, patronize
cooperative creamery. There the ma
terial of whole neighborhood can be
massed, rules of production adopted so
that substantial uniformity will be Sc
cured, and final product turned out that
finds its way-at popular prices-to con-
sumers of good butter. The one is
money losing; the latter is money making.

A remedy for hog cholera given by the
Georgia Department of Agriculture is,
flowers Of sulphur, sulphate Of iron (cop-
peras) and madder, two pounds of each,
black antimohy and nitrate of potassa
(saltpetre), half pound of each and two
ounces of arsenic. Mix this in ten gal
Ions Of Cruel for 100 hogs or give pint
dose to each hog daily. Give it to hogs
both sick and well where the latter have
been exposed. The sick must be sepa-
rated from the weIl animals and both
classes removed to new and clean quarters
or pastures. Burn the old beds and
sprinkle the floor of the sheds with So
luton of one pint of pure carbolic acid
to ten gallons of soft water. All dis
charges and impurities should be deeply
buried or treated with solution of one
ounce of chloride of zinc to two gallons
of water. The persons attending the
sick animals should not have anything to
do with the well hogs, and all food and
water must be clean and pure. If these
directions are faithfully followed the dis
ease may be stayed and stamped out
Every farmer should inspect his hogs and
all animals daily, and act promptly on
tie first appearance of disease.

WATERING THE STOCK.

N.hough some horses, unless very
thirsty, only drink a small quantity each
time, they should have it all the more
punctually. They want that little just as
badly as the horse which drinks greater
quantity. Many horses like to take their
time to drink. They should be allowed
that time, and should never be hurried
away from the water. Give them all the
time they want. 1. .t ID,
Some horses are far more particular
about the quality of the water they drink
than others. They drink only pure, cold
water with a relish. Given any other
they will not drink heartily nor thrive so
well. All horses, and indeed all kinds of
stock, do the best VIXEN they have pure
water, and they should have it often.
Even the hog, that is fed largely with
liquid food, should have its drink of pure
water often. t
Cows that drink impure water soon
show the effect. in the quality of their
milk. 1t is in dry, hot weather, and
during long, hot days, that this subject is
most important to the farmer. When the
stock cease to thrive, the capital invested
in them ceases to bear intercst.-Prairit

HINTS ON uANDLtNG BEES.

Just before swarmlng bees fill them
selves with honey, which supports them
IN their new home until they get to work
again. This is an exceedingly fortunate
thing for the beekeeper, as it makes them
much more kindly and easily handled
than they otherwise would be. With bees,
as with men, they are best natured when
on full stomach. In the colder portions
of the country protecting the hives is
necessary, either by placing them in cell
lars or packing in chaff; in milder Sec
tions and in the South they will pass the
winter wcll on the summer stands. In
handling bees fearlessness is q wonderful
protection: A person who fights them or
tries to drive them away is quite sure to
be stung. Still, it must be admitted that
there is something. about persons that
gives to few immunity from bee sting
that other cannot obtain. NJ. NJ
@ The safest way for the average bee-
keeper is to protect ones self as well as
possible by the dress, use a smoker, and
proceed as you would about any other
work, taking, care not to crush or, injure
bee. Occasionally colony will attack
horse that has been driven or led too
near their stand. When this occurs they
often exhibit a vindictivenessl and perse-
verance that is not only wonderful, but
dangerous. Horses that have been heated
by driving and become sweaty are more
obnoxious to them than the same animals
would be when n'their normal condition,
grazing near the hive. There are so
many things to be learned about bees that
persons without experience in the bust
ness, who design keeping them, should
buy one of the many books on the sub.
jeet or subscribe for a good paper de.
voted to beekeeping. Ne,o York WorM.

A Brave Little BOY.


Ten-year-old Charley had gained per
mission to take his baby sister into th,

"Don't let any harm come to my dea,
baby GIRL" said their mother as shs
kissed them.
The two disappeared around tn,
barn, laughing and talking as only
childhood can, until they came to
little slough. They then amused them
selves by throwing sticks into the water
and watching hem glide away. TheJ
were SO sngrossedwith the sport as MOI
to notice dog running down the hill
toward them until warned by q strange
growl. -,
When Charley saw the glaring eye,
and frothing mouth of the animal he
knew it was a mad dog. His mother
had told him about them, told him tha
one who was bitten would die, but he
did not run. He determined that the
dog should not harm Daisy, if it did Kill
him.
"Run, Daisy, run!" he screamed a.
the beast jumped for him.
Daisy ran home as fast as her shor
legs could carry her. She met John
the hired man, at the barn.

John seized an ak and ran to th,
boy. He found him with one hant

and with the other holding its mouth
The dog was nearly dead, and JOIN
soon finished it. Charley had man
aged to keep it from even scratching
him.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

PAnh AMI UAnbnsAN rNOAnos ..
Don't forget the pickle barrel.
Don't forget to keep the strawberry
bed clean.
Keep the young trees mulched or well
cultivated.
Kill the weeds early; do not let them
go to seed. -.
Rub the sprouts off the fruit trees be-
fore they become tough
Burdocks and thistles are best har-
vested before they bloom.
The grind-stone is ''cheap hand" in
the hay field. Use him often.
Good oil, applied often, makes easy
work, and saves the machine for next
year.
Alsike gives smaller crops than red
clover, but the quality of the hay is
better.
Japan buckwheat is one of the ''novel-
ties'h that has come to stay. All reports
are favorable. .'
Treat all raspberry and blackberry
sprouts as weeds, unless you wish them
for setting out. .s
You can't mortgage your crop or farm
and keep on good terms with your credit
'ors and family.
If you do not need the young beets for
greens, thin them out anyway and give
them to the cows.
Have few bolts and nuts, also q
wrench, chisel and hammer in the tool
box of the mower.
If you planted your garden in long
rows, isn't it fun to run the cultivator
up and down them9
Vineyardists do not practice pinching
off the ends of vines or summer pruning
as much as formerly.
Don't kill insect-destroying birds.
They will save much more than they de-
stroy for any gardener or fruit grower.
Orchard grass is good drought re-
sister. California farmers pronounce it
superior to timothy, red top and blue
grass.
Botanists seem to agree that wheats do
not cross readily; indeed, it has, been
held that they do not cross at all, but are
self-fertilizers.
To remove moss from the trunks of
fruit trees apply q solution composed of
one pound of concentrated lye to three
gallons of water.
Professor w. A. Stewart enumerates
among the protein or nitrogenous foods
for stock: Shorts, bran, oilmeal and cot
tonseed meal, all rich in protein; while
of rough folders clover hay is the richest.
Shut the young turkeys in at night
and do not let them out on wet mornings
till the grass has dried off. Give them
water in shallow vessels. "Don't let the
little turkeys get their backs wet till they
are feathered" is good rule.
The first thing to look to after you
have made up your mind to keep bees is
pasturage. For, according to a bee
keeper, greater falsehood was never
palmed off on a guliible public than that
t'bees work for nothing and board them
selves"
The only trouble reported in the use Of
arsenical poisons for destroying insects
in orchards is in the burning of the fol-
iage by having the mixture too strong OF
putting it on too heavy; the latter often
owing to the fact that the machinery
used is not of the best.
To exterminate raspberry bushes in
pastures, cut with bush scythe and then
stock the pasture with cattle to browse
the sprouts. Neat cattle are much bet.
ter than sheep for exterminaiing bushes
and the coarse -wooled varieties of the
latter will do more toward that obiec1
than those of finer grade.

The horns Of young calves may be pre-

ton Of removing the germ of the horn.
The skin is cut and the flap raised to ex-

skull. There is no union as there is
afterward when the horn grows to and

MARVEL OF PURITY.
''ROyaI'' Perfect Baking POnder-AbsO.
Iuteiy Free From Lime and Alum.

The Royal Baking Powder is con-
sidered by all chemists and food
analysts to be a marvel of purity,
strength and wholesomeness. The
official tests show, furthermore, that
it is now the only baking powder be-
fore the public free from both lime
and alum, and absolutely pure. It
has come to be used almost as eXclu-
sively throughout the country.
This exclusive purity is due largely
to the improved method by the use of
which it has been made possible to
produce a perfectly pure cream of
tartar, from which all the lime, etc,
has been eliminated.
This chemically pure cream of tar
tar is exclusively employed in the
manufacture of the Royal Baking
Powder, so that its absolute freedom
from lime and all other extraneous
substances is guaranteed.
Professor McGurtrie, late chemist
in-chief to the U. S. department OF
Agriculture, Washington. ID. c., after
analyzlng samples of the various bak-
ing powders of the market, testified to
the absolute purity of the Royal Bak-
ing Powder as follows:
"All chemical tests to which / have
submitted it have proved the Royal
Baking Powder perfectly heslthful,
of uniform, excellent quality, and free
from every deleterious substance.
