Golden yellow tanl1ard. the mangol
wurzel depicted in our cat, is regardcd
by many dairymen as one of the most
profitable varieties. 1t is an exceedingly
prolific sort, and is said to be both nutri-
tious and hardy.
The long yellow mangel wuizol is n
good main crop sort, as an enormous
quantity can be grown on an acre with
good culture.
Another productive sort is the yellow
ovoid mangel wurzel. This is of distinct
shape, being intermediate between tho
long and globe varieties. It is hardy and
vigorous.
Lanes improved imperial sugar is an
American variety OF finer grain than the
ordinary beet, being good for table use
as well as cattle food.
Yellow globe is sort too we'll known
to require special mention. 1t is we'll
adapted for growing in shallow soils.
The long red maugcl wurzel produces
roots Of enormous size, smooth and regu-
lar in shape, with small top.
In order to be we'll preserved for
gradual consumption during the winter,
Thorburn advises that mangel wurzels
be heaped to IL height OF perhaps six
feet on dry, sloping situation; cover
at first with Il piece of canvas, and as
the cold increases this should be replaced
by about six inches of either salt hay,
straw, seaweed, or even cOrnstalks. Lest
this covering be displaced by the wind Il
light layer OF earth is necessary. SO soon
as this surface soil becomes frozen about
six or eight inches more Of earth ShOull
be placed over the entire heap. BY fol
lowing up this gradual process of cover
ing all danger of heating will be obvi
ated and the roots will keep in perfect
order

"Creamery Sharks they have been

people that dairying is the most profita-

farmers, and that q factory will be a

L. r. Bryant, secretary of the Cider
and Cider Vinegar Makers Association of
the Northwest, recently had the follow
ing to say in Prairie Farmer:
The essentials for making cider vine
gar on small scale are Il grinder to
grind up the apples into fine pulp, Il
good press TO extract the juice, barrels to
put the juice in, a frost proof room or
cellar to store the product in, and, of
course, good supply # decent apples.
Ordinarily good windfalls will llake
good material for vinegar, but care
should be taken to reject ali immature,
wilted and rotten apples. When the cider
is made it should be put into good iron
bound barrels and ranked up, out of
doors, but in the shade, and allowed to
ferment. The barrels should be placed
on timbers or poles elevated from the
ground sufficiently to allow the contents
to be run off into other barrels.
On the approach Of freezing weather
rack off the vinegar stock into clean bar
rels (only three-fourths flled) by means
of faucet placed i'll the end OF the bar
rel, or preferably with a syphon made Of
fve-eighths rubber tubing. This should
be raised an inch above the bottom of the
barrel to avoid drawing Off the sediment
AL settings should be rut into Il sepa-
rate barrel. The barrels can now be
ranked up in their winter quarters, the
bungs taken ont and remain undisturhed
until the contents become good vinegar,
provided they are kept in furnace heat
ed cellar or artifcially heated room.
An ordinary cellar is too cool to ma Ike
vinegar quickly, and if such a place is
used for winter storage the barrels can
be removed to "a common shed ON the APP
proach Of warm weather, remembering
always to rack off the contents before a
barrel is moved Never put barrels in
the sun in hot weather, as they viii be
spoiled ana the contents lost. When the
vinegar is thoroughly made a cool, dry
cellar is an excellent place to store it, and
the barrels may be filed and bungcl up.
70 make good cider or vinegar use
good, clean apples; exposure to heat and
air is what makes vinegar; to have bright,
clear vinegar free from must, rack it be-
fore moving it, if it has been standing
any length Of time, and thoroughly clean
the barrels as soon as emptied. Good
vinegar cannot be made out of large
quantity of water and a little cider.
Strong, late made cider may bear the adj
dition Of little water, but that made
early in the season will not.

four and onc-half feet long, and make

on three of the Stats as braces, using
wire nails and clinchiug them. Let the
ends of Your wires extend two feet be-

put the panels up to posts, wrap these
ends around posts. This is easier to do
than to nail them, and easier to take

Sharpen ends and plant rather firmly,
to fit length of panel. This fence can
be moved from one plot to one adjoining

The most important point in keeping
seed corn is getting and keeping it dry,
Under ordinary conditions it Will dry if
suspended from the rafters Of some airy
building. The Farm Journal says: zone
OF our readers makes assurance doubly
sure by hanging his seed corn in tins
smokehouse and smoking it for several
days If quite dry, seed corn may be
subjected to very low temperature
without injury; but if there is moisture
about the germ-and the cob will con-
tain moisture when the outside Of the
ear is quite dry-a temperature not very
rare north OF Mason and Dixon's line
will iniure enough of the germs to make
the seed unfit for use"

TO SAMPLE MILK,
In Easy Way to Mako sampiing Tube

An Easy Way to Mako n SampIing Tube
Described.
The most reliable method of salnpling
Is by the use of a sampling tube, which
takes ont n core of milk from the top to
the bottom. This sampling tube can be
made by any ordinary tnsmith by TAX
ing piece of brass tubing an inch in
diameter, running n wire through the
length Of it, terminating at the upper
part in bend for handle, the other end
of the wire being soldercd into II firm
sheet of iron, which is covered on its
upper surface by piece Of rubber pack
ing. This iron valve should be trinc
| larger than the size of the tubing.
! The wire is held in the center of the
tube by small wire loop at the top and
/ bottom, near the ends of the tube. BY
pushing down on the handle the valve is
carried away from the bottom Of the
tube, leaving place for the milk to en-
ter. While in this position the tube is
pushed down vertically into the milk in
the weighing can until it reaches the
bottom. The wire is then pulled up,
closing the bottom of the tube, takin;
with it core Of milk from the top to
the bottom of the can. The bottom Of
the tube is put into the can or Jar in
which the sample is to be kept, and by
loosening the valve the milk IS allowed
to flow out.
Three such samples will furnish
enough milk for analysis ana will give
IL sample that is Il correct average OF all
the milk. But even when using this it
is advisable to stir the milk well with II
dipper before taking the sample. OF
course if the amount Of milk is small
100 to 200 pounds-aud it is stirred very
thoroughly with n large dipper, it can
be mixed so thoroughly that a correct
sample may be taken ont with II dippcr
Care must always be used in taking II
sample, and it is always advisable to use
good deal more care and pains than it
seems possible can be needed. BY using
sufficient care it is possible to sample IL
large amount of milli-2 600 pounds. for
instance-and get several different sam
pies that shall not vary in composition
more than one.tenth of 1 per cent. If,
then, the creamery man finds that his
samples do not agree with each other, he
can be reasonably sure that the trouble
is with himself, and that he does not use
enough care in taking the sample
