Cleaning "a Box Churn.

It is one of the easiest to keep clean
that can be imagined, provided only that
the proper methods are used. 1t would
seem that similar conditions obtain with
the barrel churn. The great difficulty
is that users are either over particular
or actually negligent. The matter Of
keeping one of these churns clean should
commence before the cream is put into
it. If the churn is first scalded with
hot water and then rinsed with cold
water, the cream will not pack into the
corners or crevices or adhere to the
sides. Then after the churning and the
withdrawal of butter and the butter
milk reverse this process-that Is, first
thoroughly rinse with cold water and
then scald with hot water, and the oper-
alton is complete. Keep brushes and
cloths and soap of every description out
of the churn. A little sal soda in the
last scalding water may be occasionally
used with good results.-Hoard's Dairy

Dairy and Creamery.

One swallow does not make sum-
mer. One good dairy bull or COW of
beef breed does not prove at all that
dairymen should go in for that breed as
the long sought general purpose bovine.
There is no particular reason why the
Jersey COW should be SO small. By
breeding steadily from the largest cattle
in herd for several generations the
size could be materially enlarged. Still
the big COW would necessarily eat more
than the small one, without usually in
creasing the milk supply in proportion,
so the little Jersey will probably reign
yet awhile.
The best way of all to kill the oleo-
margarine product is to make the real
butter SO good that even poor people can
tell the difference, and the smell of the
lard and tallow compound will make
their gorge rise. Oleomargarine will be
killed dead when nobody will buy it.
Never lose sight of the fact that milk,
like honey, reproduces the flavor of the
food that goes into the living manufac-
tory.
There is one sure way to warrant
COW with calf when you sell her. That
is never to sell her till she has dropped
the calf
A pound of commercial butter consists
of so to 81 per cent. pure butter fat.
The milk buyers of New York spec
ify in their contracts with farmers that
the cow sheds shall be whitewashed
every six months.
At a dairy conference lately held in
the north of England it was pretty plain
ly settled that for immediate flavor,
with special skill, unwashed butter will
give the finest flavor, but is deficient in
keeping qualities in comparison with
butter washed in the granular stage.

SUGAR BETS AND POTATOES
How Much They Are Worth In Butter
Production.

How Much They Are Worth In Butter
Production.
In bulletin II of the Iowa agricul-
tural college, Professor Wilson gives
the results of feeding experiments to de-
terinine the value of sugar beets and
potatoes in butter production. Cows
Eained in flesh on each ration. The best
butter from the beets graded as Cream
cry western extra" and the best from
the potatoes "Creamery western firsts."
The poorest butter graded as low as
"Creamery western thirds" The but
ter from the creamery when no expert
ments were made invariably graded as
"Elgin extras" The cost of the butter
per pound is not given, except i'll case
of Holstein hefer fed twenty pounds
of beets per day. In this case the cost
of feed in pound of butter is given at
S2 cents. The summary of results is
stated as follows:
The indications from this experiment
are that the higher grades of butter can
not be made from heavy feeding of either
raw sugar bects or raw potatoes.
That high grade butter can be made
when cows eat twenty pounds of beets
day, but not the highest grade.
That high grade butter cannot be
made when cows are eating ten pounds
of raw pc atoes day.
That no coloring is necessary when
the COW eats twenty pounds of beets a
day.
That butter from potato feeding on
dry rations is colorless and lacks keep
ing qualities.
That butter from beet feeding keeps
well.
That cows like beets and continue to
eat them with appetite.
That cows will eat as much as fifty
pounds of potatoes day by gradually
increasing them, but will after that eat
less day by day until ten pounds is
reached

The cheapest and shabbiest icehouses
as rule keep ice better than those that
are deliberately built. Forty years since
built an icehouse and took great pains
to have it very tight. Every year in
August we were out of ice. About ten
years afterward | read in an agricul-
tural paper that there should be plenty
of ventilation over the top of the ice. l
Immediately cut window i'll the north
and south ends of the icehouse, and from
that day we have always had plenty of
ice.
A rough building sixteen feet square,
built of boards, with proper drainage at
the bottom. will answer every purpose
for a dairy of twenty-five cows. Board
up on the inside of the studs with single
boards, cut the ice so that you will have
a space of from sixteen to eighteen
inches on every side, pack III sawdust
or tan bark as you fill the icehouse,
cover the top with twenty inches of
the same, leave a ventilator four feet
square in each gable end, and your ice
will keep without any trouble. Of course
if the dairy and icehouse are to be COM
bined in one building, better material
and work will be needed.-Cor. Rural
New Yorker.

A Notable Invention.

A problem which has been puzzling
mechanical engineers all over the world
ever since steam as a motive power
came into general use has at last been
solved, it appears. British papers state
that an engineer living in Glasgow has
lately completed, after nineteen years
experimenting, device for steam en-
gines by which all steam is returned
back to the boiler after doing its work
in the cylinders. In several cases, it is
said, he has installed his engine and it is
at work with extraordinary results. In
one case, in a textile factory, the engine
with his device is doing as much work
with one ton Of coal as it formerly did
with ten tons. The problem of how to
make use Of the vast amount of steam
everywhere blown off into the air after
doing certain work has long occupied
engineers, and its thorough solution
would be worth many millions of dol
lars in many ways.
