THE DAIRY.
Washing Butter.

Butter was formerly gathered into a
solid mass in the the churn and then
taken out and worked with a paddle I'M
til all the buttermilk was supposed to be
expelled, after which it was immediately
sailed. But now the better practice is
to stop the churning as soon as the
butter has reached its granular state,
that is, In small granules about the size
of grains of wheat. The buttermilk is
then drawn off, and after sprink1ing the
butter we'll with salt, barely enough
cold water is added to float the butter
granules, when, after few oscillations
OF the churn, the added water is also
drawn off and its place supplied with
other cold water to undergo similar
treatment. The reason for applying the
salt in the first instance is that salt
coagulates the albumen still clinging to
the granules after drawing off the but
termilk, and thus renders it soluble in
water, and as the water is drawn off the
albumen, being dissolved, comes with it,
This kind of washing should be re-
peated until the water comes away as
clear as crystal. Some have argued
against washing butter at all on the
ground, as they contend, that it takes
away the flavor. But this is mistake.
1t is the retention of portion of the
buttermilk that does the damage, caus-
ing decomposition, as it does and con-
sequently destruction of the flavor. It
stands to reason, therefore, that the
more effectually the buttermilk can be
removed the less danger of the loss of
flavor. Not only SO, but there is not one
buttermaker in ten who can work out
the buttermilk effctually without seri
ously injuring the grain of the butter.
1t is for this reason that the best butter
makers Of the present dav aim to work
their butter as little as possible. They
want the grain of the butter preserved
in all its integrity, and this can only be
done by effectual washing, To accom-
plish this, therefore, the churning
should stop the moment these little
segregated masses Or granuIes make
their appearance, when the buttermilk
should be drawn off, and after the ap-
plication of salt for the purpose of
coagulating whatever albumen may still
remain in the churn, cold water applied
as above directed. Butter treated in
this way will require but very little
working-barely enough to gather it in
form and distribute the necessary salt
evenly through the mass-and its keep
ing qualities be much improved.

THE POULTRY YARD.
A Few Suggestions.

Daily outdoor exercise Or free range
is the best advice we can give those who
want fertile eggs and strong chickens.
The past winter has been favorable for
all kinds Of poultry; the fowls have
been out on the bare ground every
week. The non Matching of eggs will
not be as common a complaint as last
spring. Hens that lay early usually set
early; some hens are often broody after
laying fewer eggs than others. We
could never succeed in making our hens
sit until they were inclined to do So.
Some of them will sit most anywhere,
while others will sit standing if re-
moved from their accustomed seat.
Last month we had pullet that was
laying on an exhibition coop in the hen
house. Becoming broody, she would
not set where we wanted her to. SO we
gave to her whims, and let her have
twelve eggs to incubate in nest of hay
on the cloth on top of the coop. She
came off to eat about every time any
thing good was in order: still she
Matched eleven of as healthy chickens as
we ever saw. She was stubborn, yet she
knew her own business better than we
did.
The best feed for young chicks is
bread and milk mixed with dough
made from corn and oat meal we'll
cooked. If they get all they will eat Of
this feed five times day at regular in
tervals until they are five or six weeks
old, you need not worry as to their
growth. Wheat we'll soaked in boiling
water is good for change. The chicks
Matched before the warm weather do the
best; they will endure the cold better
than the heat of summer.-Farme, Field,
and Stockman.

THE STOCK-RANCH.
Wedding Out the Calf Crop.

The first four weeks of Calls life
will determine whether it can be grown
into a profitable beef animal or not. If
the calf at the above age shows that it is
capable of making thrifty growth, with
we'll developed back and quarters, it is
very likely to maintain that tendency
through life and will make a. profitable
beef animal unless badly managed. On
the other hand if a calf at four weeks
old does not show growth with we'll de-
veloped beef points no amount of food
and care are likely to make anything but
scrub animal out of it. In these days
of low prices no farmer can afford to de-
velop scrub steer. Every pound of
food they eat is so much wealth de-
stroyed, therefore as a matter of econ
omy the calf crop ought to be weeded
out. This can be done proftably by
turning the calf with its dam for a
couple of weeks. 1t will then make a
tolerable veal which will bring from
four to six dollars. That is nearer a
profit out of bad calf than can be got
ten any other way. If it is announcement
to turn the calf with the COW he can be
knocked in the head, bled, and the
hide, if properly taken off, will pay the
service fee of good bull which is in
surance against q next year scrub.
Whatever method may be adopted for
disposing of the unthrifty calf be sure
to get rid of him in some way before he
knocks the profit out of the entire year s

market ruled very slow, and sellers found
considerable difficulty in working up an
outlet. But when they did make trade,
they managed to squeeze strong prices,
though under protest from the buyers. The
"stiller" market dragged badly all day, and
holders complained that the prices realized
were unsatisfactory and lost them money on
their investment. The Texas branch Of the
market, while not notably active or strong,
developed sufficient strength to enable sales
men to obtain fully yesterdays figures, or
