THE DAIRY.
Temperature of Cream.

One of the most, if not the most, i'm
portant conditions of churning is the
temperature of the cream, for on that,
at least that is my experience. says w.
II. o. in National StocEmGn and Farmer
depends in great measure the quality
of the butter. As rule the warmer the
cream the sooner the butter comes and
the poorer the quality of the butter; and
it the cream is too cold the butter will
take an extra long time to come and
will again be poor in quality. Now the
happy medium cannot be given def
nitely, but must be determined by ex-
perience. For thick sour cream churned
in warm room, or in summer, about 60
degrees to 80 degrees Fair. and from
there to sc degrees in winter, or possi-
bly, a little higher, according to the de-
gree'to which the cream is ripened or
soured, bearing in mind the temperature
of the room in which the churning is
done, is about right.
just why high temperature in churn-
ing will injure the quality of the butter
wedo not know, but nevertheless it does,
and just here we find one cause of the
so-much- complained of white specks in
butter, namely, churning thick, sour,
unstirred cream at high temperature.
OF course, the temperature must be as
certained by means of thermometer.
A dairy thermometer costing fifty cents
will pay tor itself about as quickly as
any implement that can be bought. A
neighbor of ours not long ago had his
hired man churning for half day, for
which time he paid him sixty-two and a
half cents, to say nothing of the injured
quality of the butter, and all this be-
cause his cream was not the right tenn
perature.

TIE POULTRY YARD.



This breed is an old and favorite va
riety in England, and was introduced
into this country about three years ago.
They are Spanish breed having large,
bright scarlet single combs, long pendu-
lous wattles, red face, white ear lobes,
lustrous black plnmage, a majestic car
riage, close compact body low on the
legs ard of stout square.bu They
are quite large breed, cocks weighing
seven to eight pounds, hens five to six
pounds. 1t is claimed by both Ameri-
can and English breeders that no fowl
will surpass them in egg production,
both as to quantity and size of the eggs.
They lay from $50 to 225 eggs per an
mum; which are white, and those from
adult fowls generally weigh two pounds
to the dozen. This breed stands con-
fnement well, but will make good for
ayers when given arrange. The Minorca
is a hardy breed, easily raised, and quiet
in disposition. Being non-setter, the
hens seldom become broody. The
pullets begin to lay at an early age, from
four to four and half months, when
Matched quite early in the spring.
Their table qualities are fair, but not
as good as those of the Asiatic breeds.
Black Minorcas are highly thought of
wherever known, and are worthy trial
by poultry keepers.

There are SO many things occurring in

that it is not very easy matter for her
to be agreeable at all times. They are
usually little things, too trivial to be
hardly noticed BY most people, nor

THE Java is good egg producer as
well as q very handsome fowl. The
black and also notified varieties are
favorites with many. AS a farm fowl
they are considered good.
1T is wisdom to encourage rapid
growth among young chicks. It means
economy in feed and profit before hot
weather comes. This is the way to come
out ahead. If you look to this it will
repay you.
WILD BILL, Colorado, writes: Would
like to ask if any of your readers can
tell me what will kill mites on chickens.
They are not lice but much smaller
small and red color; hens will often die
while sitting ON the nest" Here is q
remedy given by G. w. Woodruff, Col
orado. Every morning as soon as the
fowls were off the roosts, would take
kerosene and pour it on the roosts, and
set it ON fire. As soon as the oil was
done burning I would extinguish the
fame. Then I would put coal tar on all
knots and roosting places for the lice.
/ sprinkled the fowly with sulphur, and
burned it in the roosts.

The Governments Silver Purchases.

The director OF the mint said yesterday in
regard to the criticism on his action in refusing
to make public the prices paid by the govern
ment for silver: THE daily prices at which sill
yer is purchased by the government have never
been made public under any administration.
We have been buying silver for twelve and a
half years for the silver dollar coinage, and
until became director it was never the prac-
tice to make public any of the details OF the
transaction, not even the amount purcha
daily. This administration is the first that has
given the daily papers any information on the
subject In the absence of the Secretary did
not feel warranted in changing the practice of
the department for the past twelve years and
III AXE public the price paid each day. As there
seems to be strong sentiment that this should
be done l intend to communicate with the Sec
rotary on the subject. This much will saw:
There will be no attempt upon the part Of the
Treasury Department to buy silver cheap or
to beat down the price. The government Will
pay the full market price and will buy t. 500, 900
ounces a month if IL Is to be had. The admin
istration desires to see the price Of silver adj
vance and there will be no attempt in the exc
cution OF the new law to throw obstacles in the
way"
