Will sweet Cream b. tier RipeuH
Jersey Balletin.

Something more than year ago we
ventured to suggest that as the process of
ripening In cream is the work of certain
bacteria that are in all cream and are not
destroy ed 10y the churn, 1t ls possible that
they may rlpen sweet cream bulter as they
do sweet cream. Since then we have
made few experiments and had an OPP
portunity OF studying some experiments
made by others. One conclusion is that
when the sweet cream butter is thoroughly
freed from buttermik it does tend to
ripen and approach the flavor of rlpened
cream butter. But If i has not been prop
erly made, or too much water is left Ii 1t,
Instead of ripening it sours, and goes to
the bad more rapidly than ripened cream
butter made un Ter the same conditions
In one or two instances the sweet cream
butter turned bitter as we'll as sour Per
haps the buttermilk or the water con-
tanned bacteria that whipped out the kind
that ripens cream.

Briefly stated, the plan consists In subsOll-
ing marrow strips, say about two rods In
width, through a field and planting the
crop across tie strip SUBSIDIZED. Then note
the difference in yield caused by the sub
soilipg.
According TO mora recent report the
theory aud practice of subsoiling has been
thoroughly and practically tested at Medi-

grounds leased at that place for expert.

received the same care and cultivation
| The grounds which we SUBSIDIZED yield

on the other ground, simply ploughed,
the best yield was only 10 tons.

If the farmer can see no good job in

dozen new gates to hTng next spring in

qaentIy recommended by some of Jne lead
ing dairy writers. 1t is of doubtful. value
as matter of economy, to say the least in
objection to it. Many experiments have
shown that this milk may be more ad-

And the making of pork has been found to
be profitable addition to the dairy bust
ness. Rutter making, pork and poultry
have so long been thought to be prodtabiy
related to each other that it has long been
a systematic practice to unite these and so
add largely to the profits Of the dairying.

ROUGH EXPERIENCE.

LONDON, Jan. 4.-The steamer Nord-
land, which was in collision with the
British bark Childwall, the latter going
down with fifteen of her crew, returned
to Antwerp with her bows stove in. The
pilot of the Childwali says he
saw the steamers lights fifteen minutes
before the collision. She suddenly star
boarded her helm, apparently intending
10 cross the bows of the bark. The pilot

Feeding Calves.

At one Of the New York Farmers Insti-
tutes. the question as cornme4l proper
food for young calves?' was answered as
follows:
No; cornmeal is too carbonaceous and
produces too much fat. Sell the corn and
buy ultrogenous foods-linseed meal, cot
ton seed meal and wheat bran, which feed
with sweet mlik and nice clover hay
to the young calf. Do not feed more than
a teaspoonful of Iinseed meal at first,
which increases as the calf grows older
One great trouble with raising calves
comes from overlooking. One four or
Eve days old should not be given more
than three quarts of milk at a time, which
increases from dav to DAY.

Soil for Hot Rads

The use of sifted moss mixed with sandy
soil is recommended as the best soil for
hot beds The moss is dried and then run
through coal-ash sieve with quarter inch
meshes The hot led is then covered
about four inches inside the frame with
this mixture. A tablespoonful of super
phosphate and of wood ashes is applied
for each square yard of space. This makes
a nice, porous, moist and spongy bed
Mark the rows by using the edge of a Iath
pressed into the soil fourth of al inch
and rubbed backwards and forwards a
few times Cover the seed fourth of an
inch with the moss and soil. The moss
enables the soil to hold a great deal of
water when it is given, and the roots form
free network of fbres, and it facilitates
transplanting. This soil does not break Or
crust.

WHAT A COLD WAVE
IT'S Not Wave but an Avalanche of Cold

| The term ''cold wave" applied to IA sud
den and great fall Of temperature Is IA fig
ure of speech. 1t is rather an avalanche
| of cold air that comes down upon the cOun
| try, explains Professor Russell In the En-
| gineering Magazine. The essential idea
In wave is repetition. In the eastern
part of the country there is a regular
! change in the temperature of the air of
about Is degrees from day to night. In
the high and dry re- ions beyond the Mis-.
sissippi river the daily range is A. degrees
in some places. The great irregular
! changes called cold waves have no defnite
period.
| The weather bureau definition of cold
wave is fall In temperature of 20 degrees
or more in twenty, four hours, free of dur
nal range and extending over an area Of
at least 50, 900 square miles Of country, the
| temperature somewhere in the area going
at least as low as Sc degrees. Marking On
a map where a cold wave has occurred by
lines through the places of equal fall of
temperature the areas are seer to be in
closed and sometimes very great in extent.
In one of the greatest cold waves in recent
years, that of February IT, 1883, the tenn
perature at a. N was 20 degrees lower
than at the same hour OH the day preced-
ing throughout an area Of | ,O65,O00 square
miles, extending from Lake Superior and
Georgian Bay on the north TO the Rio
Grande On the south, and from Kansas City
to Cincinnati. Inside of the area of 90
degree fall there was all area of 40 degree
fall of 1877, coo square miles; inside the 40
degree fall there was $1,000 square miles
of 50-degree fall, and inside OF the 50-de-
gree fail a fall of 60 degrees at Keokuk, Ia,
the center of the cold wave, the tenpera-
ture, which was so degrees on the morn
ing of February Is, being at zero the next
