4 Few Suggestions Concerning the Trea
ment of Obstinate Cream.

u rev suggestions concerning the treat
ment of Obstinate Cream.
1t is several years since learned
by careful experimentation that there
may be two different temperatures in
batch OF cream, however we'll it is
mixed, and that the thermometer does
not always indicate the temperature
OF the butter element in the cream.
When cream is hastily warmed or
cooled, the fat or butter portion is less
rapidly affected. while the watery
portion, which absorbs and parts with
heat more readily, gives to the glass
its own temperature, sometimes even
before the other portion is affected at
all. | have seen cream warmed by
pouring in hot water, giving it little
stirring, and then testing it with the
glass till the standard was reached.
Such treatment may do for fairly GOOD
cream, but it is far from being tenn
pering to be depended upon.
Obstinacy in cream results from
several causes, generally, but not
always acting in combination. There
is certain viscid condition acquired
by the milk and cream from COWS long
in milk. The viscid element serves
as sort of lubricant which keeps the
particles q suppose | must not call
them "globules' any more) of butter
fat apart. so that no amount of churn-
ing will bring them into cohesive
mass. A low condition of the COW, in
sufficient or poor food. and exposure
to cold, all lessen the proportion OF
true fat. and the attraction of the
particles for one another.
Now, the remedy for all these diff
culties seems to me to be exceedingly
simple, and as if in justification OF
this opinion, l have never known its
application to fail. 10 begin with,
should raise the cream to tempera-
ture several degrees higher than that
at which l propose ultimately to churn
it. II it was the product of long milk
ing COWS, whether going dry or far.
row, in any considerable proportion,
should dilute it freely with boiling
water in the operation. If the cream
is of a higher, finer quality, l should
prefer to leave the water out entirely
until had turned back and began to
cool it, though l do not know that the
judicious use of hot water is injurious
even in the latest cream. So much
depends, however, upon the exercise
of judgment and fine discrimination,
that it is exceedingly difficult telling
another how to proceed to make sure OF
the best results. Churning at seventy
degrees. if suspended in season, would
be easier and more effective than at a
lower temperature, and no injurious
results need follow. As soon as the
cream begins to break, cold water in
moderate quantities may be added
from time to time, and the churnine
continued moderately till the proper
temperature for finishing is reached.
l can take a batch of cream at seventy
degrees, and finish it off in the granu-
lar form just as we'll as to begin at any
lower temperature. 1t will not re
quire nearly as much work at the
crank, but the puttering hinders SC
that it probably takes quite as much
time, in any but extreme cases of OBJ
stinacy. But it eliminates the ele
ment of uncertainty from the opera.

SET TREES RIGHT.
Many Orchards Ruined by Hasty and In
considerable Planting.

Many Orchards Ruined by Hasty and In
considerable Planting.
have seen so many orchards ruined
at the very outset by hasty and neon
siderate planting that l think few
remarks on this subject not at all out
of place. A lot of trees arrive from
the nursery at a time when all hands
are busy at the crops, putting them
into the ground in the spring. 1t hard.
ly seems possible to get away from the
pressing work in the field; but the
farmer knows that the trees must be
set, and that at once, or they are lost.
Yes, he must set them, of course, but he
can't afford to spend much time. The
ground is hastily plowed, just as he
would pillow it for any other crop, no
doubt, which will be much too shallow
for an orchard. The trees are set in
holes that reach down to the hard
pan. After hurriedly shoveling the
filing of raw earth in about them he
leaves the work with sigh of relief,
fondly imagining that he has done his
part toward starting an orchard, and
that nothing more need be done for
the trees during that particular season
at least. In many cases trees SO set
might just as we'll have been left tied
up in bundle at the depot for all the
good the owner will get from them,
for the after care, or rather the lack
Of it, is apt to be quite on a par with
the setting. Those that do not perish
the first summer will be quite likely
to the next winter, and If by chance a
few of the most hardy should survive
year or two they are quite apt to
succumb to after neglect IA
The agent, the nurseryman. the sea-
son and perhaps the country are all
cursed as being responsible for the
non-success Of the trees so handled.
While there may be much ground for
complaint on these heads l am thor
oughly satisfied that there are more
trees lost through mismanagement and
downright neglect than through I'll
other causes combined. Have the
ground ready in anticipation Of the
arrival Of the trees. Then take the
time to set them out as they should be
set. Don't set them in deep holes so
that the roots rest on the sour subsoil
or hard-pan. They must be in good
rich, mellow feeding ground just as
your corn, beets and other plants are.
II the roots want to dig down they will
do so fast enough afterwards. When
planting. sift in fine earth about the
roots, pour in water to gil all GREY.
ices, and pack the whole solidly with
the foot after covering. II you live
near a nursery, drive to it when your
ground is ready and pick out your own
trees. There are now so many good
nurseries scattered all over the coun-
try that the farmer can usually do
this. II it is not practicable, be sure
at least to have the ground in thorough
readiness when the trees are delivered.

questions Here is the letter:
MY Dear Editor:--For several years past
have been the recipient of several PAM
phlets issued from time to time by Messrs
II. H. Warner 4 Co., of Rochester, n Y,
which, in addition to containing an extern
usual symptoms and growth also includes
numerous testimonials from parties whose
fac -simile signatures are attached there
to, attesting the statement that they
have been individually relieved by the use
OF Warmers Safe Cure, which is prepared by
the above firm, for the use of persons so
afflicted Now, Mr.. Editor, would like to
know il the statements made by those par
ties who testify to the great good which
Warmers Safe Cure has done them, can be
relied upon. They seem honest enough
from the way they read. Warmers Safe
Cure saved my life after the doctors had

ena, Kan. DIR. L. B. Rice, of Hanover C.
H., Va, says that Warmers Safe Cure cured
him Of. Bright's Disease"
Each pamphlet which l have received
contains hundred or more testimonials,
and the same one does not appear in more
than one pamphlet so it seems that there
are good many who are being helped by
that remedy.
1t strikes me that there is good deal OF
sense in the claim which those parties make
that the doctors are treating too many per-
sons for wrong causes, and that oftentimes
people are treated for consumption, brain,
heart and nervous disorders, when they
are suffering from kidney disease
which should be treated, as they
say by the use, of Warmers Safe Cure,
and as a result. when disease is first re-
moved therefrom, that which is supposed to
be diseased in the lungs or other organs,
will disappear. Many of my neighbors tell
me that this remedy has done much good
for them-more good than their doctors II

Was 1t Only Pickett's Charge .

I" 1t makes the veterans of Heth's
and Pettigrew's commands very tired
to see all the credit of the Gettysburg
charge given to Pickett's division"
said A. Myers of Byhalia, Miss.
" Heth's division, to which my brigade
belonged, was on Pickett's left, and l
know we went as far and suffered as
much as the Virginians did. My COM
pany came off with one unwounded man
out of twenty-nine, and George Cobb
was shot in eight different places after
he mounted the federal works. He re-
covered from his wounds, and lived in
Memphis awhile after the war. We
lay all that night within fifty yards of
the enemy's works-so close that we
could almost feel the flash of their
guns. Governor Scales of North Caro-
lima said, in speech not long ago, that
some of Pettigrew's men were killed
fifty yards inside the federal lines, and
I've no doubt it was so. They were
on our right and went at that wall
of death together. If Picketts men
did any more than we did don't know
it. All that any of us could do was to
keep on going until we were shot
down. "-MemphiS Aualanche.

A Change of Weapon.

Last winter l climbed Lookout noun
tain in company with veteran of the
late war. 1t was his first visit since
the day of the memorable assault, and
as we climbed he fought the battle
over again for my benefit AS the con-
flict waxed hotter he grew excited, and
on our arrival at the hotel near the
summit was at fever-heat. We then
passed on through the narrow defile
which leads to the pinnacle, where we
were confronted by diminntive speci-
men of the genus " cracker" with these
words: Z" If you gentlemen wish to go
to the top you must pay twenty-five
cents" This was too much for the
pent-up feelings of my warlike COM
panion, who, tragically waving his
strong right arm, shouted: won't
pay it. Twenty-Five years ago / came
up here with a sword in my hand"
But the modern Leonidas, moving not
otherwise than to display deputy
