Points in Churning.

allure, ranging from freezing up to blood
heat, as is sometimes the case while it is
awaiting the churning. The cream
should be kept at cool and uniform but
not freezing temperature, and should not
be kept long enough to become bitter
When ready to churn warm it up to
temperature of about 65 dogs. until it
becomes pleasantly acid. Churn at a
temperature of about go degs., and don't
add fresh cream to that which is slight
ly acid just as you begin to churn. In
that case the acid of the old cream will
not affect the new quickly enough for
each to churn in the same time, conse.
quently good deal of butter will be lost
in the buttermilk.
Milk and cream very easily contract
unpleasant odors which will affect their
flavor, and for this reason the greatest
care should be observed to keep the milk
room clean and sweet, and use it only
for dairy purposes. Stop churning as
soon as the butter is released and appears
like grains of wheat. To continue longer
is to injure the texture of the grains and
give the butter soft and greasy appear
ance.

Feeding Hens.

A correspondent in Country Gentle
man makes the following statement: I
have kept poultry all my life-all kinds,
under almost every possible condition
but have never had my hens lay as well
as they have all along through the fall
and now. l have experimental with
fowls to a large extent for the purpose
of getting facts. and have proved my
present system of feeding and forcing
for eggs. chop together apples or tho
Feelings, raw or boiled potatoes and an
occasional onion; after chopping quite
fine mix intimately about two tea
spoonfuls of red pepper to ten hens, and
fully the same amount of salt. pour
boiling water, only little, over the
whole, and then mix in corn meal until
quite stiff and moderately dry. This I
feed three times week. My pullets,
young and old hens, lay better, look bet
ter and are better than ever before saw
them. The combs are red, a sure indica-
ton of good thrift. The plumage is
bright and full. This is the result of the
salt and pepper. feed afternoons oats,
barley and little corn.

Agricultural Notes.

E. Williams, secretary of the New
Jersey Horticultural society, says that
the Triumph gooseberry is great inn
provement over any other variety that
will grow in that climate.
One orchardist advises in planting an
orchard to "set the tree leaning consid-
erably to the southwest; it will be straight
by the time it is of sufficient age to bear. I"
To insure good supply of eggs make
the poultry house warm and free from
draughts and vary the food as much as
may be.
If the farmer were obliged to buy the
vegetables used in his family through
the year, he would begin to understand
how much money there is in good gar
den.
If the cows milk is very blue in cold
weather, it is because the food that
should form rich milk and cream is used
up in maintaining animal heat; hence
the policy of sheltering animals as much
as possible in severe weather.
Very little phosphates or other con-
centrated manures are used on our lands
which are continually under tillage, says
Peter Henderson; these are always more
telling on land broken up from sod,
where the fibrous roots of the sod stand
in lieu of stable manure.

WHEN 70 SOW GRASS SEED.
What Charles L. Flint Has to Say ON Thu
RuhleCt.

What Charles L. Flint Has to Say on Thu
Subject.
Differing conditions of soil and climate
are in part responsible for the many and
diverse opinions or agriculturists as to
the best season for sowing grass seed.
Charles L. Flint, recognized authority.
in his work ON "Grasses and Forage
Plants" sums up the question substan-
TALLY as follows:
More than sixty years ago careful ex-
periments were made in the hope Of OBJ
tanning such information as would settle
the question as to the time Of sowing
grass seed, and the practice of seeding
down in the fall was then commenced by
a few individuals. At or before that
time the practice of sowing in the spring
was universal, and the same custom has
very generally prevailed till within .
very few years. Both the practice and
the opinion of the best practical farm
ers in the northern and eastern states
have changed to considerable extent,
and it ia, now commonly thought best to
SOW grass seed in the fall, early in Sep.
TENDER if possible, though there are, and
always will be, some cases where the
practice of sowing in the spring with
grain is convenient and judicious.
1t will be found thatno season is with
out its exposure to loss; for II we SOW in
autumn and have an open and severe
winter, with frequent changes from
comparatively warm and thawing wealth
er to excessive cold, the young grass
will be likely to suffer, while if we SOW
in spring with some kind Of grain, -
oats, barley or rye, and have drought in
spring and summer, as we generally do,
the grass may be injured and may be en-
tirely killed. No invariable rule for all
soils and seasons can be given, but the
weight of authority seems to fix upon
early autumn as the best season to SOW
grass seed, sowing it alone without .
grain crop; and the losses from proper
seeding down at that season are proba-
bly, considerably less in an average Of
years than those which arise from .
spring sowing with grain.

A Sheep,s Stomach.

A writer in Farmers Review says that
"a sleeps stomach is not an economical
place to melt snow"-a truism that If
we'll worthy of consideration. Sheep dc
not, as a rule, require much drinking
water when they are well supplied with
roots, but unless these are to be had the
sheep should have access to fresh water
or they will eat snow. If they do so q
great deal of extra food will be necessary
to keep up sufficient combustion to melt
the snow and maintain healthy circula.
ton. Arguing in the same way, it is ap.
parent that ice cold water would have
the same effect as snow in the Sleeps
stomach.

The bag ought to be made of canvas,
with ventilator, as is usual, and is pro-
vided with two cords or webs to hold the
bag comfortably in its place. The large
figure shows the bag fastened to the
head of the horse, the other figure the
bag in detail. Any harness maker can
readily make the bag, and it will be

Feed Bag for Horses.

So many persons now feed their horses
at noon from nose bags that the best
form is essential to understand. The
straight nose bag, when the animal puts
up his head, allows much feed to fall
out. The one we now show was first
suggested in The Globe, and will obviate
the difficulty, for the reason that ono
side forms kind of pocket. preventing
the food from dropping out.
