The HORSE.
Bome Points That Should Be Possessed

Bone Points That Should Be Possessed
by ''the Farmers Horse"
The profitable horse for the farm
must combine a good degree of adapta-
ton to the required farm work, with
qualities that demand recognition in
the best markets. A small proportion
of the horses produced on the farm are
required for continued farm labor, but
it is fortunate fact that the best and
most reliable markets call for such
horses as may be produced from class
of mares best adapted to the diversified
wants of the farmer. No clear-Sighted
breeder will be contented to raise the
animal that in common parlance is de-
nominated the general purpose horse.
He is compromise between the two
types that are required to furnish three
fourths of the market requirements and
fails to give in any considerable degree
the distinctive merits of either.

turity will weigh from 1000 to 1900
pounds, possessing semi-draft, semi
roadster formation, but wanting. the

The combination of speed, style and

QUICK WORK.
q Mschipe That Converts Cream Into
Butter Instantly. II

~
Butter Instantly.
Yet another invention relating to
dairying is about to be introduced to
the British public, says the London Ag-
ricultural Gazette. It is the work of
DIR. De Laval, of Sweden, whose sep
arators are SO well known all over the
world. The latest outcome of his in
ventive brain is called the 1nstantan-
eous Butter Maker, and will be ex-
in the working dairy st the
Plymouth meeting of the Royal Agrl-
cultural Society. For some time past
rumors have been circulated of this
machine, and comments on it have APP
peared in the agricultural press, but
its introduction to the English public
has wisely been delayed by the makers
and their English agents. the Dairy
Supply Company, Limited, Museum
street, London. until it could be put to
the test. We have been furnished with
the following description:
Dairymen are acquainted with the
we1l-known form of the Laval Steam
Turbine Separator, which was awarded
the gold medals of the British Dairy
Farmers Association and the Royal
Manchester and Liverpool Agricultural
Society. To this separator the new
churn is attached. 1t consists of CYL
inder about twelve inches long and four
inches in diameter within which a
dasher revolves at about three thousand
revolutions per minute, being driven
by rope belt of the same kind as is
used to drive power separator
from the separator spindle. The
cream, on leaving the separator in
f1o
iously contrived refrigerator of new de-
sign which is admirably calculated to
reduce the temperature as low as posi-
BILE with very small consumption of
cold water; it then enters at one end of
the cylinder, in the course of its passage
through which the cream is churned
into butter, and energies at the other
end in a granular form. Dairymen who
have had their butter-milk analysed
from time to time know that there is
great loss in the present system of
churning large quantities of cream. as
it is impossible to ensure that every
butter globule shall receive the same
amout of cOncussion; and hence the but
ter-milk often contains large percent
age of butter.
This is avoided with DIR. De Laval's
new invention, as the cream must pass
equally through the cylinder, receiving
regular and rapid conclusion from
the revolving dasher. The cylinder is
inclosed in water casing so that the
temperature is kept very low and the
butter is consequently firm. 1t is very
free from buttermilk, and therefore
keeps we'll. The churn is fixed to the
separate frame and can be attached to
any of the Laval machines. AS shown
on the turbine the whole process of sep
arating the milk and churning the but
ter is performed by jet of steam direct
from the boiler without the interven-
ton of shafting. betting, or an engine
of any kind. The churn has no COM
pick arrangements about it, and moth
ing could be more simple than the way
in which it can be taken to pieces and
cleaned. The process is entirely auto
matte. requiring very little power and
attention while in use.

Strawberry Leaf-Blight

It is known that this disease usually
causes the greatest injury by attack ing
the new growth which appears directly
after the new fruit is harvested. AT
this period the old leaves contain in
Vulnerable spores, and it is these that
infect the young leaves. To prevent
this the practice of burning over the
plants just after the fruit is gathered
has been followed with success, the
young plants usually starting up and
growing thriftily after the treatment.
The complete destruction of the old
leaves is usually effected by first now
ing the plants, allowing the foliage to
dry for day or two and then burning.
Last year an experiment was made by
Colonel Pearson, with a view to deter
mine the effect of spraying the foliage
with strong solution of sulphuric acid.
Several rows of strawberry plants. bad
ly infested with Headlight were
sprayed with solution made by mixing
one pint of sulphuric acid with six gal
Ions of water, the application being
made soon after the fruit was harvested.
AS result of this spraying the old
leaves were as effectually destroyed as
if they had been burnt with fire, and
two weeks later the plants had started
up fresh and green. On the 10th of
September the difference between the
treated and untreated points was quite
striking. The sprayed rows were fresh
and green. while adjoining unsprayed
plants left for control were badly
blighted. Where one hes . suitable
spraying pump it would doubtless be
economy to adopt this method of de-
stroyinG the old plants rather than the
plan of moving and burning with fire.
