BUTTER BAcrHRIUM.

So far as the quantity of the butter
is concerned, says Walter Thorp in
London Dairy, our old friend, the lac
ticacid bacterium, seems to be the
chief if not the only agent, but il does
not seem to be directly concerned in
the production of the butter flavor
Out of the many bacteria occurring in
ripening cream Storch found only one
species which was capable of produc-
ing the true butter aroma the rest
produced either indifferent or bad
Aavors. Since only this single species
from among 30 many is capable of CIV
ing to the butter such q flavor as We
desire, the odds against its overcrovS-
ing the rest are very considerable, and
we cannot wonder at the difficulties of
producing a high-clsss butter Of uni
formly agreeable flavor. IL by culti-
vation of the bacterium, which is said
to produce the true flavor, we can in

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Never jerk or whip colt.
d-fashioned perennials are corhing
in again.
All weak queenless colonies should
be united with others.
Pure cane sugar is one Of the best
fo9ds for wintering bees.
If honey is not sealed it is liable to
become thin and watery.
1t is a mistaken notion that all
honey which candies is pure.
Now is the time to barrel the road
dust and keep it in dry place.
1t is best not to winter your own
cockerels for breeders, rs a rule.
By increasing the yield per acre the
cost of production is diminished.
The number of eggs depends largely
upon the amount of feed and care given.
In raising colt the feed should be
liberal and varied, but not excessive.
A colts education should begin
when the animal is twenty-four hours
old.
The second year hen only lays
half the number of eggs that she does
the first year.
The ideal diet for poultry sho1ld be
neither too soft nor too hard, but
happy medium.
New raspberry canes should be
pinched back to induce throwing out
side branches.
When the cat and chickens lie down
together tLo latter are always given
the inside place.
Because turkeys are good foragers it
will not pay to let them go without
proper feeding.
One pound of cut meat and bone is
considered the proper daily allowance
for sixteen hens.
Anything in the vegetable line, pro-
vided it is sweet and clean, will form
acceptable food.
Colts should be handled with kind
ness and may be halter-broken when
four months old.
Bran for chicks should always be
scalded and allowed to stand for
time in order to soften.
Ounces do we'll in either sandy or
clay soils, the principal requirements
being fertility and good tilth.
Generally, the smaller the farm the
better the cultivation and the greater
the profit for the expenditure.
Pigs should be taught to eat before
being weaned, SO as to make the
change from milk TO feed easily.
II is not desirable to give too much
red pepper and ginger to the poultry.
Once or twice week is sufficient.
good breed is not alone sufficient
to make money. Good care, good
food and good quarters are also neces-
sary.
II is cheaper to make your stables
warm than it is to supply your horses
with the extra feed necessary to keep
out the cold occasioned by cracks in
the stable.
For horses ensilsge should be used
sparingly, ~ full feeding upon it
sometimes induces collie, but il may
be safely used to some extent In con-
nection with grain aud hay.

THE CARE OF SEED POTATOES.

Successful growers of potatoes have
learned that 30 insure good crop the
seed must be selected carefully the
previous fall. The best results come
from making the hills as they are dug,
choosing well-formed potatoes, free
from scab or prongs and with smooth
surfaces. Neither the very large nor
very small potatoes should be taken.
The first will be misshapen, and the
last Will be apt 10 be poorly rlpened.
Something depends on how the potato
has been grown. If the vines kept
healthy until the crop of tubers was
fully ripened, the very smallest make
good seed. After selection the main
point is to keep the seed at as low a
temperature as possible without dan
ger of frost. These conditions are best
secured by keeping potatoes in dry out
of doors pits. In our Northern cli-
mate after the covering of the pit has
frozen over it will not thaw out again
all winter. II there is danger of thaw-
ing too early, covering of straw will
maintain an even degree OF tempera-
ture below freezing, while protecting
the potatoes from too much cold. The
tubers will come out with eyes as dor
mant as when they were put in the pit
The potatoes will be harder by evapo-
ration of their moisture, while those
kept in cellars will be made soft by
starting of the eyes, which rapidly
take out the substance needed to give
the potato set its first start after being
planted. Boston Cultivator.

If it pays to import sheep from
abroad in order to improve our breeds,
one would imagine it would also pay
the sheep-raiser 20 study the process
Oy which these sheep have been raised
10 their present state of excellence.
One of the most potent factors has
been the feed A mixed ration should
be supplied in which roots play the
most important part. Sugar beets,
mangolds, rutabagas and turnips are
all OF great value 10 the flock. and

scADBY LEGS AMONG CAGE BIRDS.

The cause of scabby feet and legs
among canary and other cage birds is
the same as among domestic fowls, that
is, the presence of mites, which breed
and live In the scabs or scales on the
feet and legs. The development and
multiplication of these pests is due to
want of cleanliness and thorough clean
ing of the birds cage. Your bird may
have been infested with mites when
you bought it, or they may have been
in the cage, and from it reached the
birds legs and feet. To kill the mites
and remove the scabs you have only to
anoint the birds legs and feet daily for
perhaps u week with flowers of sulphur
mixed to thin paste with common
kerosene. Apply with soft hair
pencil, merely painting the feet and
legs with the mixture. The scsbs will
soon drop off and leave the feet clean.
The cage and roosts should also be
thoroughly cleaned with boiling hot
water. New York Sun.

IMPROVED METHOD OF FATTENING FOWLS.
Some time ago a method of fatten-
ing poultry practiced among the
French was described in some of the
American papers, it's novelty giving
interest to it, The method consisted
in forcing the food down the birds
throat by means of pipe and a scrt
of force pump, operated by the per-
sons foot, by which certain quantity
of the soft food was pushed into the
throat. The birds were confined in
boxes in a large circulating frame,
which was turned as needed to bring
all the nests in turn in front of the
machine for feeding. Nothing came
of it, and probably the method has
been abandoned by it's inventor by
this time. The method of fattening
geese in Strasburg, Germany, for the
sake of the enormously large livers
thus procured, is somewhat similar to
this. The food is rolled into a sort of
pill, long and narrow, and these are
pushed down the throats of the birds,
confined in coops for the purpose.
This method has long been practicedI
and still exists for producing the large
livers, made so by disease, for the
making of very popular kind of pies
called pates de foie gras. New York

The Thumb.

Thumbs have been appreciated ever
since the world began. The ancients
used TO call the thumb the other hand.
Barbarous kings used 10 swear and make
compacts by their thumbs In Rome it
was a sign of favor TO wiring and kiss the
thumb, and of disfavor or disgrace to
lift them mp or turn them outward. A
man who was hurt in his thumbs was
excused from serving in the Roman wars
Some of the scoundrelly citizens used 10
cut off their thumbs, SO as TO remain
home and get rich. Teachers used TO
punish their pupils by biting their
thumbs.

sidered useless would easily sink if it
happened to strike just between wind

descriptions at Hampton Roads, and the

val demonstration the world has ever

for on many occasions since then there
have been gatherings q war vessels which
would have annihilated the misnamed

Unquestionably the most imposing
marine spectacle ever seen will be the

will be fitting prelude to the opening
