Bacteria i'm Butter.

1t has been pretty well demonstrated
that the flavor of butter depends most
ly upon the kind of bacteria that in
habit it. There are many kinds of
bacteria. Some of them throw off
pleasant odors and others most dis
agreeable ones. Some are very help
full to the dairyman and some give
him considerable trouble Different in
vestigators claim to have isolated
germs that give a pleasant flavor to
butter. Their claims are probably
valid but Investigations have not yet
been carried far enough to determine
whether these good germs can be
grown in quantities and sent out to
dairymen. 1t is known, however, that
germs which make disagreeable fiavors
in butter are most plentiful in dirty
COW stables and filthy milk rooms, and
while the dairyman is not yet able
to use the best germs in ripening his
cream, he can prevent many of the
harmful kinds from getting into it by
keeping his stables, milk rooms and
milk cans scrupulously clean.

General Feed for Pigs.

People and Patriot: The average
farmer keeps two or three pigs to eat
up the waste and left-Overs from the
table and dairy department. 1t costs
practically nothing to keep them, and
they supply plenty of pork, sausage
and fresh meat for the table. besides
bringing i'll a little money in the late
fail OF the year. In fact, wherever
COWS are kept one or more pigs should
be reared all the time. The waste of
the dairy are considerable and it is
poor farming where they are not uti-
med. The waste milk and whey alone
are sufficient to keep several pigs the
year round.
a word about this general food for
pigs, or SWill, as it is termed. should be
SAID for the benefit Of those who still
follow the old practice of dumping the
wastes from the dairy in it until it is
needed for the pigs. This swill barrel
Is never washed or scalded out The
sWill is dumped into it, and part of it is
allowed to sour and fernent actively
all through the summer. Three-Quart-
els of the sugar and nutritive qualities
OF the milk and whey have consequent
~ been consumed by the ferment, and
when it is finally fed to the pigs it is
pretty poor food.
Farmers who live up to this old idea
that pigs care for sour food as much as
for sweet do not save much of the
waste of the dairy after all. The swill,
instead of supplying the pigs with nll-
triment. does not do much more than
give them all the liquid they need
Corn. grain or grass must be given in
considerable quantities to make them
grow and fatten.
The Swill barrel needs washing and
scalding out at least once week, and
the food put in it should be given to
the pigs as it accumulateS Keeping
quantities Of such swill on hand in hot
weather is not a saving policy. 1t is
better to have more pigs, so that all
the surplus can be consumed. The pigs
viii then get sweet food and not sour,
fermented stuff that is unit for any
living creature to eat. The result will
bt that they will need less grass and
gain, and they will fatten nearly twice
as fast. Very often sweet milk and
whey are poured into the swill barrel,
where few quarts of sour, fermented
Swill still remains and in few hours
the whole mass is spoilt. If the few
quarts of useless swill had been poured
out and the barrel scalded, the new
swill would have kept in excellent con-
dition for several days. 1t is even bet
ter TO wash and sca1d the barrels out
every other day, and for this purpose
have two on hand. While one is being
filled wash the other out, and have it
sweet and clean
When the full value of sweet food for
pigs is appreciated more care will be
given to the swill barrel. Our past no
tons about swine are being greatly
changed anyway Instead of giving
them any and everything for food
which was supposed to be converted
into good pork. we are annually ascer-
tanning the value of goods, so that econ
omy in pork-making can be pracdced-

ROAD MANAGEMENT IN FRANCE.
This Country Might Profitabiy Follow Some
of Their Methods.

of Their Methods.
At the present time said Prof. +. II.
Neff before the Civil Engineers club of
Cincinnati, we find in France three dis
tinct classes of roads: national high
ways, department highways and vicinal
or county highways The third class is
again divided into three classes, accord
ing as the roads are a means Of COM
municatiOn between several large com
muneS, join small ones only, or q part
Of those belonging to single commune
These correspond 10 the political divi-
siOnS of France, which consist of 81
departments, divided into 3G2 arron-
easements. These ACCOMPLISHMENTS are
further subdivided into 1865 cantons,
which contain 36,O74 cOmmunes.
The national roads were built princi-
pally for military purposes, and are
about a 900 miles in length. The de-
partmental roads compose d separate
system in each department, where they
connect it's principal cities. and are de-
signed with the best interests of the
entire department in view. They also
ire about "a 900 miles in length. The
county roads have developed most rap
idly Of late. Tho introduction of rail
ways for general service, and the ex
tension of those narrow gauge military
lines which have become so popular in
France, have made steam traIisporta

quicker than by draft animals on high
ways. however coed. But there infiu-
ences have tended to develop the
county roads, and they low have to-
tai length Of about 36S,0O0 miles, ex-
elusive of those parts within the limits
of the villages. Hence it will be seen
that for every square mile in France
there are o.06 miles Of highway, even
when all the roads and streets in the
cities and towns are left out Of account. |

is largely a thorough investigation and

of risk in keeping them, so it is well
not to take too many chances, and to

May, June and July is very tempting,
and there is great amount of unSkill-

The tendency is to sell them right from

lest. and it is thought to be the most
profitable. But since the 1ate-keeping
