and the sand either blown or washed
away, and were IL not tor a few OF the
remains OF the largo stumps no one
would suppose that tho spot was ever
anything else than naked ledge. On
other hills where there were no rocks
the sand is drifting like the snow, and
on some farms there are many acres OF
this shifting sand that a warranty deed
will not hold and that Is being conveyed
without any legal process. On hills
where the soil Is between these extremes,
the process of exhaustion Is more gradual,
but just as sure. And now that the high
lands are exhausted and denuded some
farmers are prevented from clearing up
their low lands by the fact that they are
all they can depend on for woodlots.
But the time is coming when the deep,
black deposits OF vegetable matter which
we call muck-bogs, as well the interme-
date strips between them and the dry
lands, will be cleared and improved, and
other conditions OF the farm will be made
to conform TO the change. These border
lands between the high lands and the
swamps are in many cases OF the least
value, because they are harder to sub
due. The growth upon them Is largely
spruce, fir, and cypress and the soil
is white or rusty sand, with few inches
OF black soil above it, and as soon as the
trees are cut off swamp moss will cover
the ground and seeds will blow in and
start new forest.

other post. They must be previously

The holes must be bored in the posts al

THE DAIRY.
stopping the ohurn.

1t is very important to stop churning
at the right time. Churning after the
butter has come will injure the butter.
These round grains are solid butter;
there is no milk In them, the milk is
around these grains. At this stage the
milk is easily washed from the butter.
Never put your hands in the butter.
Draw the buttermilk off, put enough cold
water in the churn to float the butter,
revolve the churn few times, or agi-
tate IL by shaking or rocking 1t gently;
draw off the water and repeat the wash
ing with pure cold water three times,
and the milk will all be washed out.
Put one-half ounce of dairy salt to the
pound, work the salt in only enough to
get the water out; the less butter is
worked the better. 1t is impossible to
work all the milk out OF butter, but it is
no trouble to wash 1t out Water and
butter will not mix; the water Is easily
worked out. Unnecessary working
mashes the grain and ruins the butter.
continuous working, mixing and smear
ing changes it from butter to grease,
causes it to lose its flavor, and ruins its
keeping qualities, and very soon 1t will
assume cheesy smell and taste, and
later on it will have very pronounced
and repellant odor.-[ Dairy Woriu.
