THE STOCK-HANCH.
Keeping Heifcr Calves.

Unless the breeding of his stock is
poorer than any good farmer should al
low, it will pay him to keep heifer calves
rather than sell them to the butcher. If
the male parent of the heifer is of good
milking strain, the progeny will more
than likely prove good mixer. 1t is
IN this way that pure bred males soon
develop the best dairy capacities in the
herds of COWS that they are bred to. The
inexperienced farmer is quite apt to be
deceived by appearances in selecting
dairy stock to grow, and may easily re-
ject those that he would find most valu-
able.

when MIX is Ready for the Churn.

Readiness for churning, aflirms rs
good an authority as Prof. ). ". John
son, depends chiefly upon the time that
has elapsed since milking and the tenn
perature to which 1t has been exposed
in the pans. The colder it is the longer
it must be kept. At medium temperature
to degrees to 70 degrees Fahrenheit-
it becomes suitable for the churn IL
twenty four hours, or before the cream
is entirely risen. Access of air appears
to hasten the process. The seuring of
milk or cream has directly little to do
with preparing them for the church. It's
! influence is, however, otherwise felt, as
it causes the caseine to pass beyond that
gelatinous condition In which the latter
is inclined to foam strongly ut low tenn
perature, and by enveloping the fat
globulcs hinders them joining together.
On churniug cream that is very sour,
the caseine separates III fine, granular
state that does not interfere with the
! gath ering' of the butter.
Churning cream when slightly sour,
as is the custom in the Holstein diaries,
Yields butter of peculiar and fine
aroma. Butter made from sour cream IS
destitute of this aroma, and has the
taste which the Holstein butter acquires
after keeping some time. Stirring Of
cream does not promote souring, but
rather binders it by increasing access of
air; it may be advantageous in making
the sourlng uniform.
IT has been claimed, with some reason,
that churuiug the whole milk makes
more butter than to set the milk and
churn the cream. Very good butter may
be made frcm churning whole milk, but
it is more difficult to make than from
the cream. Willard advises for choice
article of fine color, full of aroma and
of long keeping qualities, setting the
milk and churning the cream. A tenn
perature of about 65 degrees or little
above appears to be the best for churn
ing whole milk sweet, but the usual
temperature employed is from 60 to 50
degrees HoIsteia-F rjsjan Register.

horticultural Notes.

CLOVES are said to be a better proven
tive of moth than tobacco or camphor or
cedar.
THE cassava is especially adapted for
cultivation i'll the Southern States,
yielding in rich soil many tons per
acre.
THE ounce seems to do better on a
clayey soil, but Will thrive in sandy
loan. The borer troubles it more IN the
latter.
THE fact that systematic men do so
much work with so tie effort, is largely
due TO their keeping their implements
of labor in order.
Do NOT try to cultivate onions deep; if
an inch of the surface is kept mellow,
and no weeds allowed to grow, 1t Is all
the cultivation that will be needed.
OUNCES have been know to yield at
the rate of 800 bushels per acre, but
they were not grown in fence corners
nor among the roots of shady trees, rs is
a common practice.
THE Huckleberry has become one of
the desirable small fruits, the only de-
traction from it being the tendency to
greatly discolor the mouth in its being
eaten, either in its raw or cooked state.
Now that white berry has been found
which Is of good size and possesses the
same rich flavor that is characteristic of
the black fruit, but is pearly white, be-
ing tinted upon the sides exposed to the
sun, with pinkish hue, this objection Is
overcome, and it seems as though some
attempt should be made to bring the
fruit into more general cultivation, If 1t
is among the possibilities.

Checking (hiupb I,ugS

Prof. Forbes, Illinois State Entomolo-
gist, finds that in general, where chinch
bugs are only moderately numerous, the
total damage done by them in any region
varies regularly with the amount of
wheat grown, but that, as they become
seriously destructive, their injuries are
greatest where the acreage is largest IN
wheat and oats combined; and that
finally, where favGrlng conditions bring
them out in the largest numbers posi-
bic, they become practically independ-
ent oil any special kind of distribution
of the cereal crops, and do the greatest
damage where the area is greatest in all
these crops combined.
The rules of practice to be drawn from
these conclusions are as follows: |.
Whatever may be done by cropping
against the chinch bug must be done
early or not at all. If action be delayed
year alter year until these insects be-
come excessively numerous, the aban-
dOument of wheat and other special
crops viii do no good, and taken alone,
may do great harm. In short, this is a
preventive rather than remedial meas
IRE. ,. In the beginning OF an out
break, the acreage IN wheat, barley, and
rye should be promptly reduced or
wholly abandoned. ). If the chinch
bug continues to increase, the oats area
should be rapidly diminished, corn and
grass remaining the principal depend
ence, and clover being substituted for
the latter wherever practicable. As these
last are the stock-feeding crops, the
facts may be otherwise generaliZed by
saying that a stock country Is much less
liable to damage by the chlnch bug than
one in which the small grains are the
stanle CrOns.

Trees by EoadSides.

There are two sides to the roadside
tree question. They are ornamental,
but in the early spring they often shade
the road so as TO keep 1t muddy after
places more exposed to sun and air have
dried up. Besides, the trees are often
in the way of needed road improvement ts,
and 1t is hard to so around to remove
them. Then if grain or root crops are
grown in adjoining fields their roots
draw their moisture from so long dis
lance that the crop near the fence is not
worth cultivatig row of trees planted
close enough tothe line to make fence
on damages farmer in one crop more
than enough to build an excellent fence.
SO whether trees should this spring be
planted along the roadside must be com
plicated with the further question
whether in after years the farmer or his
sons can afford the expense of keeping
up the ornament.

THE ORCHARD.
For Catherine Armies,

An implement for gathering apples
has been in use in Western New York
for one or two seasons, and 1t Is highly
spoken of by the fruit growers who have
tested it. 1t is large, open canvas re-
ceptacle, into which the apples are
shaken from the tree, 1T being arranged
so that the apples are collected IN a
padded basket, INTO which they are
gently delivered without hIuisIng each
other. The frame is carried around the
tree by two men, while two others shake
the tree, and fifth man is kept busy
removing the apples. 1t is said that the
harvesting of an apple crop can be done
with 1t for half the expense of hand
picking. But cheapness is not the only
nor the chief recommendation of the
implement. Apple picking is long
operation in large orchard, and some of
the fruit must lie picked before it is
ripe, if it is all gathered. This green
fruit does not sell as we'll nor keep as
well. and, besides this, the growth,
which is always considerable towards
the time of ripening, is lost. Many
large apple growers assert that the ma
chine pays for itself in a single season,
and that it is as indispensable to them
as a mower or reaper to an ordinary
farmer,

TIE DAIRY.
J he Care of MILK,

The practical dairyman should know
the composition of milk and what he
wants To get out of it. In 100 pounds
of milk there is about four pounds of
butter, three and one-half pounds case
Inc and one half pound of albumen; in
the remaining nlnety-two pounds there
are about four pounds OF sugar. The
cheese maker wants all the solids but
the sugar, which he let's 90 with the
whey. Proper feeding will enable COW
to change nearly all of the albumen IN
the blood which goes to milk into case
inc; this is an important feature to the
cheese maker. COW should breathe
only pure air; the breathing of bad air

have only pure water to drink. Microbes
which cause typhoid fever have been
found in milk, and the same in water
drank by the cows from which the milk
came, and scores of people died of
typhoid fever, all Of whom had used the
milk. She should nave all the water she
wants.
Wholesome feed is also essential; it
should be properly balanced. Corn alone

What Tanner Saws.

WASHINGTON, Oct. lex Pension Com
missioner Tanner was seen this evening
regarding the above statement and made
lengthy reply, in which he sharply criticises
Assistant Secretary Bussey, and alleges
that the judicial reasons of the latter are
emanations from the mind of a mem
Der of the pension board of appeals
who was appointed under the Cleve-
land administration after having failed to
pass the civil service examination. Tanner
arraigns Bussey for undertaking to put him
in a false position before the public. The
order in question, he says, refers to cases
allowed on and after date.
He took the Office March 81 and he had
determined he would not issue certificate
for less than 81 per month if he had the
power to prevent it. He looked into the
law and found he had that power, as it is
broadly stated that ratings fixed by me
dical boards are subject to revision by the
commissioner. He saved vast
amount of time and trouble by is
suing that order then. Said he: II
gave a verbal order that those pensioned
at less than 81, who had an application on
file for an increase, accompanied by the
certificate of medical examination held
within year, should have their claims ad-
juGica ed on that examination and go up to
81. or off the roll / also ordered verbally
that al others should be sent in order for
medical examination and abide the result on
u like basis"
Tanner contends that there is plenty of
law for his action.
