Cheese and Butter Fat.

In discussing the use of Babcock test
to determine the value of milk in cheese
factory, Professor Roberts said at the
New York dairymen's convention that
there was no use talking ebout the cheese
COW as distinct from the butter cow any
longer. DR.. Van Slyke had demonstrated
beyond cavil that the proportion existing
between butter fat and casein was fixed
and practically unvarying. and that the
butter fat in the milk was its true meas
ure of value for cheesemaking.
DIR. Van Slyke said that cream could
be added to milk and the butter fat
maintained in the cheese. A pound of
butter fat in the milk would give "a
pounds of cheese every time in the hands
of a competent cheesemaker. As or
binary dairy milk runs from 8 to 4 per
cent of butter fat, the Babcock test is the
true and only fair way of measuring its
value.
Two strong resolutions were passed by
the association, one favoring change
in the law relating to the sale of milk
and requiring it to be sold on guaran-
teed percentage of butter fat. With such
a law a man could buy per cent or 4,
or or 10 per cent milk as he desired, and
all incentive to the watering of milk
would be taken away. The other was in
favor of a law requiring all cheese to be
branded full cream or skim, and that any
cheese found with less than II pounds OF
butter fat TO one pound of casein should
be declared skim cheese.

legs so as to raise it up from the floor

"If in room where wind will blow,
get box without cover and put door

your lamp inside and shut the door.
Make slat rack and place inside to set
the pals on to keep them up from the
bottom of the box 80 that the air can
pass under them. Any ordinary lamp
can be used, but tin one with a good

that are needed to get excellent results. "

First Outdoor Crops.

There are few rural homes that do not
offer an opportunity for growing lettuce
and radishes little in advance of their
regular season with very little effort.
When there are no greenhouse facilities,
there should be made little bed in a
we'll protected spot near high, tight
board fence or wall, or a building or
hedge, sloping and with free exposure
to the south or southeast. A bed 6 feet
wide and twice aSlong would give quite
a supply. The soil should be deep and
prepared in about the same manner as
tor making hotbed soil. If the soil is
deep and rich, the bed can be kept
crowded full of green stuff all summer,
and thus will give an incredible amount
of the choicest vegetables. By putting
a frame and a sash or two on this spot.
gardening operations may begin month
or SO earlier than in the regular way.
To have plants still earlier, seed may
be started in fats set in light kitchen
window and the young plants trans
planted into the frame at the proper
season.

The First Litter of Pigs.

The best way to manage the young
SOW at pigging is to leave her alone. OF
course you will see that the narrowing
pen is in order, SO far as giving little
short litter, wall guard, ETC., is con-
cerned. Do not allow any one to go
near the SOW during the narrowing, as
gifts are very easily put about, but sell
dom do wrong if left to their own de.
vices.
AS soon as the pigging is over, give a
little warm food, composed of both milk
and bran, and continue this feed foi
three days. Then more substantial diet
may be given, such as barley and wheat
en- meal and bran mixed in equal por.
tons.
In fortnight run out into pad
dock may be given for an hour or two a
day. The youngs tiers are generally best
kept in, as they go through all kinds of
places and get in mischief, besides run.
ming a risk of being hurt. If the SOW
has a pretty good litter, begin to give
the youngsters a trough to themselves
when they are weeks old. Warm milk
and house refuse suffice for start, and
shortly after little bran and ricemeal
should be added.

Hard to Make the Butter Come.

VIII you please tell me why we can get no
butter from our cream? We milk two cows
that are fed on corn and fodder. The milk ha.
plenty of cream on it, but it all goes to foam
when it is churned. ! cannot even scald it
into butter.
Isuspect these cows have been giving
milk for long time, for the difficulty
mentioned nearly always occurs where
this is the case. Milk from such cows is
of slightly different composition from
that of fresh ones. This difficulty has
been thought by DR.. Babcock to be due
to more vlscous or sticky character Of
the milk, thereby preventing the fat
globules from coming together freely.
It is best avoided by having some fresh
COWS in the herd from time to time in
stead of having all calve at once, as is
the case on too many farms.
It is evident that if the trouble is due
to viscosity it can be avoided by some
thing that will cut the milk or render it
somewhat thinner. This is accomplished
by water and by salt. Add quart Of
water to the cream at churning time,
and if the butter does not come readily
with this add still more. The less added,
of course, the better if the butter will
gather satisfactorily. Try salt in the
cream at churning time, with or without
the water, and note the effect Of that.
Without doubt one or the other, or both,
will accomplish the desired result.
Use thermometer in churning and
watch closely the first time to observe
the best result for having butter come in
satisfactory form. While 81 is the most
common temperature at which churning
is best effected, that temperature 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. Hav-
ing ascertained the temperature at which
the 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 intelli-
gent way to use thermometer, and once
having learned how to use it the dairy
man will never dispense with it.-W. A.
Henry in Breeders Gazette.

TO DRIVE A HORSE.
The Whip II Cause of Fretting to Lively
Animal.

The Whip Cause of Fretting to Lively
Animal.
The health, length of life and use
fulness of horses depend largely upon
the manner in which they are treated.
AT the start it is important that the
owner or driver should thoroughly I'M
derstand the disposition. condition and
ability of the animal that he drives.
Some men can drive horse 80 or even
40 miles at a good rate of speed and
have the animal in better condition at
the end than another after driving the
same horse five miles. 1t is not by any
means driving fast that Injuries horse
80 much as improper driving. Often
more strength and vitality are taken
out of Il horse in two miles of fretting
through the Encouragement of the
driver than in going several times this
distance with proper care.
Some men cannot drive without a
whip in their hands, whether it is need
ed or not, and while there is no doubt
but that in some cases the whip is nee
essary yet it is often the cause of more
fretting ON the part of lively horse
than any other one thing.
The driver who thinks that because
his horse is fresh he can stand it to be
driven fast at the start for several miles,
and then given chance to rest by 60
ing slow, or one who drives fast for
awhile and then slows down to walk
in order to rest up ready for another
squirt, will not get the best speed out Of
a horse with the least waste of vitality,
especially in going long distances.
1t is steady gait that counts most
and wears the horse least. Give him a
chance to get warmed up first, and then
let the gait be steady one.
Another item is not to feed too heav-
lily before driving. A light feed of oats
will be far better than heavier feed of
more bulky grain. Exercise or action
too soon after eating retards digestion,
and the animal that must travel at a
good gait with loaded stomach cannot
but show the effects, and if driven rap
idly for even short distance after eat
ing hearty meal there is considerable
risk of the collie.
Watering properly is fully as impor-
tant as feeding. When horse is being
driven on the road he should not at any
time be allowed to overload his stom
ach with large quantity of water. So
far as is possible the rule should be to
give water frequently, and while he
should have all that he will drink it
should be given in small doses.
A horse in good health can stand
more work and more driving without
injury than one that is in any way out
of condition. The feed and care should
be such as are best calculated to main
tain health and thrift, and then, when
on the road, care must be taken to use
this strength and vigor to the best ad
vantage.
The good driver can tell by the way
his horse goes the amount of work he
should have.-Cor. st. Louis Republic.

An Expert on Asparagus.

Here is the plan observed by sue
cessful asparagus grower in New York
state, as told to The Rural New Yorker:
Mark out the rows 3}s feet apart, by
running the pillow both ways. and open
good, deep furrow. For field culture
of one or more acres takes something
light and make cross marks, SO as to
set the plants az feet apart each way.
Clean out the furrow with hoe or
shovel, SO as to set the plants at least
six inches below tie surface. The i'm
roots. They are the best at all times, as
they will develop.a much better crown
than two-year-olds. In selecting plants
have none but those that show good,
thick bud. Set no plants that have
Crowns with fine set buds and all in a
bunch. It doesn't make so much diff
ference if the roots are small, if they
show this well developed crown. If
they show only one or two buds of the
right kind, they will come out all right.
: After the asparagus is set cover about
two inches with good soil, after which
the land may be planted with potatoes
between the hills one way and covered
the same as the roots. AS each crop
comes up, work the soil around the
plants, thus leveling the surface and
keeping the weeds down. After taking
out the potatoes, cut all seed bearing
asparagus stalks and burn them. Give
the bed good cultivating, leaving the
tops of the asparagus. By spring they
will about all have disappeared. In the
fall or winter put on two tons of salt
per acre, and SO to rs bushels of slaked
lime. At this time apply more manure.
If manure cannot be had, cover with
any coarse stuff-buck straw is
good.
The second year, as early as the field
can be worked in spring, harrow and
mix with the soil, and break up all this
coarse stuff SO far as possible, raking
the rest between the rows. Beans OF
squashes may be planted the second
year if they are not put so close that the
vines will pile up on each other. The
roots should have good start. Take
off all seed stalks as before, and this
should be done every fall, as it saves
much labor and vexation of spirit while
cutting young grass. The third year we
are ready to cut some, and this is the
most important part Of all. While cut
ting for market, cut everything, no mat.
