Temperature for Churning.

We are asked to give the proper tenn
perature for churning. 1t can hardly
be done. The following explains why:
One of our dairy writers says use a
thermometer in churning and watch
closely the first time to observe the best
result for having butter come in salts
factory form. While sixty-two is the
most common temperature at which
churning is best effected. that tempera-
ture is not always satisfactory. Certain
breeds, of cows. or cows on certain
feeds, produce milk the cream Of which
must be churned higher or lower than
the average. Having ascertained the
temperature at which cream best
breaks into butter by close observation,
start the churning the next time with
the cream at the desired temperature
This is the only intelligent way to use
a thermometer. and once having learned
how to use it the dairymen will never
dispense with it.-Farmers' Voice.

perience in this matter, and that such
q commission should be charged with
the work of solving the road problem
and deciding what plan of work and
what amendment of the road law are
most likely to result in an extended i'm
provement of our country roads, with
out an undue burden upon the people
and with the greatest promise of per-
manent good to the commonwealth at
large Much would, of course, depend
upon the selection of the commission
ers; but, if the places were without sal
aries, the professional spokesman would
not seek them, and those citizens who
earnestly favor the reform would natur-
ally be preferred for the appointment.
A commission thus organized. and
clothed with authority to carefully ex-
anime the subject and the conditions
presented by different sections of the
state, might well include in its report
such . comprehensive digestion and
treatment of the subject that most Of
the conflicting theories and plans now
advanced would be dispelled or harmon
lied, and such deductions made as
would leave the subject in shape to be
intelligently considered and the proper
remedy wrought out
We want good roads We must have
such roads, and the sooner the subject
is practically considered by competent
men. the sooner will the reform move
ment bear substantial fruit-The Late

Proposed Military Road.

The question of the construction of a
military road between Washington and
Baltimore is being agitated by the
business men of both cities. The idea
Of the project seems to be that such a
road, well graded and ballasted, would
offer . safeguard which neither city
should be without merely because no
necessity for it seems to exist in these
peaceful times Mr.. Wallace Stebbins.
q merchant of Baltimore, who has in
terested himself and many Others in
the matter. points ont that in time Of
riot, or even invasion, the railroads
could be quickly rendered useless. and
the facilities for moving troops and ar
tillery would then be found to be the
worst conceivable, for the road system
between the two cities is execrable
from q military point of view.

Putting Up Butter.

Did you ever try putting up butter
in glass jars?" asks Landa A. Zigler, in
the HousAkeeper's Weekly. I'VE put
some up in June and used it in October
and it was almost as fresh as when put
up. The jars were filled by putting in
a small lump of butter. then pressing
it down well with a piece of hard wood
made 70 fit the mouth of the jar: then
putting in more and pressing it down,
until the jar was filled to the neck. The
neck was then filed with salt and a
cloth put on top and the lid screwed on
as tightly as possible

RAISING or CREAM.
why the Separating Process IL the bess
by Long Odds.

Why the separating Process IL the best
by Long Odds.
All farmers and dairymen understand
that there is great difference in COWS as
to the amount of cream their milk will
give. and also as to the ease or dificnlty
in converting it into butter. This also
varies in milk and cream from the same
COW at different times of year and under
varying kinds of feed. Cows which give
the richest milk furnish the cream that
is most easily churned. 1t is because
their milk contains proportionately less
easeine or fibrous matter. In poor milk
or that which is given by cows on dry
feed there is more of this caseinc, and 1t
forms film in which the butter globules
are enveloped. II the raising is slow
more or less of this fat is held in the
milk by the film that surrounds 1t, and
does not rise at all
The increasing difficulty of churninR
cream as the COW goes farther from her
calving period. and especially If she is
giving dry feed, is explainable for the
same reason. III the spring cows are
fed laxative food. The grass they eat
is watery and disposes the COW to scour
rather than to constipation. As hot
weather comes on, the COW becomes
feverish. and this condition Of her sys-
TEN lessons the fat in the milk and in
creases the fibrous film that holds it
Later. in winter. if the COW is fed on
hay and straw, her milk gives cream

If the cream is raised in the usual way.
just here is. the advantage OF the
separate plans of getting the cream out
of milk. Instead of taking . long time
and letting the oily parts separate from
their coverings in the natural way, the
separator uses q strong friction TO
break the film, when the cream or fatty
part is Immediately separated, and be-
ing lighter rises to the surface. Cream
thus secured requires very little churn.
ing; the film being broken, there is
practically nothing to do but to gather
the butter and separate It from its but
terrnilk, which consists mainly of a
residuum of !caseine and fbrine that
cannot at first be wholly separated
from the fat There is no doubt that
these methods get from the milk q
larger proportion of its butter fats.
while leaving the milk sweet and in the
best condition for human food. As
milk is set to raise in pans it is always
sour before the cream is fully raised
This sour milk is good for nothing ex-
cept to feed to pigs or chickens. If the
cream is taken off while sweet the milk
is more healthy for average stomachs
than while holding all its fat as drawn
from the cow.-American Cultivator.

A Century behind the Times.

Americans pretend to be the
smartest people on the globe, yet they
are still groveling in the dark ages on
the road question. We make wagons
with tires that cut up the roads and
drag the horses to death to pull them
through the ruts- In France they do
things differently. The French law re-
quires the tires Of all wagons shall be
six inches wide, and in four-wheeled
wagons the front axle is six inches
shorter than the rear axle, thus making
a roller two feet wide out of every
wagon. Such wagons do almost as
mucn towards improving the roads as
the graders themselves, and are much
easier on the teams In that country q
horse Is expected to pull from two to
three tons, at least twice as much as he
could haul on our roads. Rural World.

lection of this sort, the surest way Ia
prevent freezing on the walls is Ia
sheath up with matched boards on the
outside of the studding, thus max
ing dead air space. You
should, however, hang with hinges a
board jointed close, near the bottom,
and another near the top. These
should be left open until it becomes
cold, and should be opened again as
soon as the weather grows warm in
the spring. This allows circulation
of air and dries out the moisture from
the walls of the silo to prevent decay.
To prevent the ensilage frosting from
