CHURNING AS AN ART.

It is still customary to place cream in the old time dash churn and work on un- til the "butter comes," which may re- quire long or short time, according to circumstances. 1t was well known to all farmers that the temperature must be just right" or there would be difficult ty, and churning was more or less opera ted 'in the dark" until some enterpris ing person conceived the idea of using thermometer in the churn in order to know the correct temperature required, and also to regulate the churning accord ingly. At the present day the dash churn has been largely superseded by the barrel churp, rectangular churn and other designs, and in the creameries the appliances are so complete as to permit of milking the cows, separating the cream and churning into butter on the table for breakfast, which seems incredi- blc to some.
 The tests of dairy cows at Chi cago show that there is no tempera- ture for churning that may be relied up- on as fixed" At the beginning the temperature of the cream from the milk of the Jersey cows varied A. to g de- grees, that from the Guernseys varied from 42 to 46 degrees, and that from the shorthorns from 40 to II degrees. At the ending of the week the cream from the Jersey herd varied from 51 to 5S de- grees, that from the Guernseys from AZ to 54 degrees, and that from the shOrthOrns from 45 to 52 degrees. The average rise of temperature during churning of the Jersey cream was , degrees, with an average of degrees for the Guernseys and 4.5 degrees for the shOrthOrns. The shortest time of churning Jersey cream was 60 minutes and the longest l20 min- utes. The shortest time in churning the Guernsey cream was 40 minutes and the longest l30 minutes, while the shortest for the shOrthOrns was 10 minutes and the longest 95 minutes. It will be no. tiCed that the temperature of the cream varied during churning, and that the time required for ''making the butter come va. jed widely also.
 The three breeds varied greatly in the amount of cream contained in the milk and the individual cows of the breeds diff
 fercd also in quantity and quality of prod
 uCt. As no two cows are alike in any respect, and as the milk and butter diff 1 fer not in quality but also in the time re
 quired for churning, no fixed rules car | be settled upon in the matter of churn l ing. All depends on the COW herself
 and the requirements in her case will no | fit her companions in the herd. It is in
 cumbent upon farmers, in the face O
 these tests, to give greater attention tt
 the kind of cows they use, for not only
 is the care and attention as we'll as tht | feed potent factors with the breed, bu
 the labor of churning is al~O depcndeH
 on the cows more than on the kind O
 churn.- Philadelphia Record.

WINTER CAULIFLOWERS.

There is probably no vegetable which is capable of profitable forcing in Ameri- ca concerning which so little has been written in reference to it's treatment un- der glass as caulitiOweTs. It is true that the literature of vegetable forcing is very meagre in this country, and it is there fore little wonder that the cauliflower, which is scarcely known as winter crop outside the establishments of wealthy persons who employ gardeners, should have received so little attention from writers. CauitlOwers are easily grown as winter crop if they are kept in wig OrOus and uniform growth. They need a rich soil, careful attention to watering, cultivation and ventilation and a cool temperature like that employed for let tuce. They appear to thrive better without bottom heat than with it. The Early Snowball and Erfurt strains force well. Plants should be set in the beds when from six weeks to three months old, according to the season of the year, and from four to five months elapSe be- fore the first heads are fit for market. The heads ordinarily require no bleach ing, and they are ready for sale when four to six inches in diameter.-r l.. H. Bailey, of the Cornell agricultural ex- pertinent station.

DEATH DE MS STEELE.


 Mrs Augusta Perry Steele entered into rest at Southport, October II, 1893, in the S0th year of her age. Her only child, Mrs Emma Steele Curtis, died suddenly of hemorrhagc of the brain, May 2S, 1893. The shock and her intense grief, at her great age. were more than she could bear and she gradually declined to the end. She was one of the most devoted of Christian women and her surviving friends may well be comfOrted with the assurance that she has entered into the lOy of her Lord. She was a great grand daughter of Old Doctor Perry, who died 100 years ago last April. She was the last of his descendants in WOOdbury, save her cousin, Miss Julia F. Marshall. She was the widow of the late Roderick C. Steele, who was the brother of the late Mrs William Cothren. She leaves sOn-in-law, Louis A.
