not the method by which the butter "a
made which brings the highest price No
one IS selling butter now at advance, and
paying prices, who still clings to ''Grand.
mothers" way Of making. Neither does
the market put premium on butter made
from actively sour cream, nor butter with
pronounced butter-milk favor, or made
sharp with over-salting. Butter, to bring
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 sailed not to ex.
ceed three-quarters Of an ounce 10 the
pound. Butter also needs to be packed
IN some Of the cheap but tasteful pack.
ages now ObtainabIe, and sent to the mar.
ket Immediately. Long-kecping 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 il
made by those who have a few
COWS that they cannot make a specially
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 flavor. It
is not washed free from butter milk, but
''worked over" with ladies, ''balled up"
and sent to the grocery store, unprotected
from the light and air, and then con-
signed to the ''shoe 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
a 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. It is both Improbable and I'M
businesslike. The market wants good
butter, and discards poor. Why, then,
insist upon furnishing the latter? If one
cannot make a fine article and get good
price for it, either change methods, quit
the business, or, what is better, patronize
a 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 a 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.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.


There Is not one house In ten that has
an attic, and more than one-haf of the
houses that have one, there Is no way to
get into it. They are always a source Of
anxiety to the good housewife. for she
never knows when the house may catch
fire in that very place, and no way to get
to the fire to put it out. Even when she
steps out for few minutes chat with
her next door neighbor, the attic is sell
dom out Of her mind.
She tells the children to be sure not to
make a fire, in case the chimney should
catch fire and she generally turns pall
of water into the stove before going away.
There should be way to get into the
attic, no matter how small the attic Is.
It would not be very expensive to have
door made, and hung: or trap door
would be better than none. The house
wife could then inspect it once month.
Brush down all the dust and cob webs;
there is nothing that catches fire so easy
as cob webs and they will shoulder ever
so long. and see that there Is no defect in
the chimney.
Once or twice a year it should be
rubbed with damp cloth. Take an old
broom ana Tie clOIn over II anu WASH
the walls, but do not have the broom too
wet; it will clean it so it will not smell
musty, as attics generally do. The cham
bers are thus made healthier and more
pleasant to sleep in. The housewife will
then 90 round with smile of content
ment on her face instead of the weary
look Of anxiety that was there before the
door to the attic was made.
Some women will, when they have a
large attic, have it full of things, such rs
the spinning wheel, and swifts and a box
of patchwork. Now this should not be
done. Have nothing in the attic that
can be avoided.
Twill now tell you an excellent remedy
for bugs, and that is common salt; put
anywhere so they can eat it.-Fdrm,

It may be A. D. 1915 before the CO.
operative creamery, in some of its forms,
will have superseded farm butter making,
however DESTROYS 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 of good butter put
upon the market. If people 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 great advance made. Too
Jew realize that their way of making is

HINTS ON HANDLING BEES,

Just before sWarm1ng bees fill them
selves with honey, which supports them
In their new home until they get to work
again. This is an * oeedingly 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 eel
lars or packing in chaff; in milder sec
tons and in the South they viii pass the
winter we'll on the summer stands. In
handling bees fearlessness is a 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.
The safest way for the average bee
keeper is to protect ones self as we'll as
possible by the dress, use smoker, and
proceed as you would about any other
work, taking care not to crush or iniure
a bee. Occasionally a colony will attack
a horse that has been driven or led too
near their stand. When this occurs they
often exhibit vindictiveness and perse-
verance that is not only wonderful, but
dangerous. Horses that have been heated
by driving and become sveaty are more
obnoxious to them than the same animals
would when in 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
ject or subscribe for good paper de-
voted to beekeeping -Ne1o York World.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
DIsBUDDING HORNS.

The horns of young calves may be pre-
vented from growing by the easy opera
ton of removing the germ Of the horn.
The skin is cut and the tap raised to ex-
pose the small nub of the horn, which is
removed with small sharp gouge or a
knife at its junction with the bone Of the
skull. There is no union as there is
afterward when the horn grows to and
from the skull, and the nub may be
wholly removed. When this is done the
skin is laid back, and the wound smeared
with tar, and heals very quickly. The
horn is thus destroyed.-N6a0 York Times

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Don't forget the pickle barrel.
Don't forget to keep the strawberry
bed clean.
Keep the young trees mulchod 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
tie 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" that has come to stay. All reports
are favorable.
Treat all raspberry and blackberry
sprouts as weeds, unless you wish them
for setting out.
You can't mortgage your crop or farm
and keep Oh 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 a few bolts and nuts, also a
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 them?
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 wneats do
not cross readily; indeed, it has been
held that they do not cross at all, but are
ef-fertilizers.
To remove moss from the trunks of
fruit trees apply solution composed of
one pound of concentrated I've to three
gallons of water.
1TO1oSSOr w. n. SLCWdFG onuInerdt6S
among he protein or heterogeneous 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 bee
keeper, greater falsehood was never
palmed off on gullible public than that
''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 or
putting it on too heavy; the latter often
owing to the fact that the machinery
used is not of the best.

White Caps.

Under the active promotion of newspaper
reports the "White Caps" or rather their
skull and cross boned notes, have attained a
great deal Of undeserved prominence, and
such has been the rage for masking under
the name that lot of cranks who have no
more sense than the foolish schoolboy, whose
head, ye old TYNE teacher, enveloped in a
small four-bag and then stood him in the
corner, as an object of derision to the other
scholars, have been sending to both friends
and enemies these foolish epistles; and SO
anxious have others become for notoriety in
this connection that if they have not received
one from their brother cranks, they will
write up blood curdling note of war ing,
which they mail to themselves, and with the
postmarked card in their hands they rush off
to police station or newspaper office, and
succeed in gaining a notoriety they would
never otherwise attain.
Holly Oak has not yet been infested with
this specie of crank, and it is to be hoped
that it never will be.
The pure and invigorating air for which
our town is noted, no doubt has something
to do with the good sense still existing.

OUR ADVENT.

The "JoURNAL" with its first issue, pre-
sents to the public, copy of what is des-
tined some day to become one of the lead
ing papers of the State.
1t is true that ftkEolly OAK" is but new
town now in its infancy, but though young
il is progressive, and will in few years out
strip many of the old towns and cities that
have been struggling along for century or
more, without making any very discernable
progress, and which instead of being
proach.
Not so with our beautiful town, having, as
it has, all the natural advantages that could
be desired, together with its location, its
railroad and river facilities; and above all
being under the direction of able, energetic
gentlemen, who are thoroughly competent
to look after all its varied interests and who
are determined to make it the prettest and
best, if not the largest city in the State.
"EzolEy OAK will become the brightest dia-
mond of the Diamond State"
1t will be the special work of the "JoUR-
NAL" to assist in promoting the general
welfare of our city, by advocating and help
ing all its mercantile, manufacturing and
shipping interests; and as the city grows, the
JoURNAL" will grow with it, but for the
present we feel assured that the thousands
of families to whom the JOURNAL will go
cannot fail to appreciate its general worth.
1t goes forth as household paper, journal
for the Preside, and one of its principal OBJ
jects will be the development and mainte-
nance of our religious, educational and
social, as we'll as our business, interests.

Christmas Rioting.

Our neighboring city, Wilmington, was
the scene of drunken brawl; increasing to
disorderly riot on Christmas morning.
How much better it would have been for
all concerned, had those who were the cause
of the disturbance used the money they
spent for whiskey, in making some provision
to cheer the home-life, however humble.
AS it was, the reputation of the "Hillside
City" was marred, and Wilmington was
heralded the next morning, in all the papers
of the country, as the scene of disgraceful
race-war.
Our neighbor up the creek has our SYM
pathy; and we sincerely trust that the citi-
gems of Holly Oak, will be more mindful of
our fair city's reputation, than were the
Wilmingtonians on the day when the
heralded song of the angels, "Peace on
Earth, good qyiH to men," should have been
their motto.
