Women Farmers and Ranchers,

The management of Kansas farms
and ranches is not confined entirely to
men, for there are some very shrewd
and capable managers among the
ladies. One of these is Mis-, Kittie d.

county. Miss Master goes to the live
stock exchange and attends to the
financial part of the business. " / have

Bradley's American Farmer.

The above named publication for
1896 far exceeds any of its predecessors
in the attractiven 50 of its pages and in
the variety and value of IT'S contents.
The Bradley Company makes fertilizers
especially compounded with reference
to the requirements of almost every
crop the farmer or gardener in any sec
ton of this country raises. Hay is the
great crop in Vermont. The Farmer
contains photograph of field from
which five and one-fourth tons of hay
per acre were raised by the use of Brad
ley's complete manure for top dressing
grass and grain. The field illustrated
contained eight and en-eighths acres
and raised forty and one-half tons of
fine hay. Three tons of the fertilizer
were used. The company will send 10
any one circular giving full details re-
garding this crop. V. V. Blackmer of
Orwell, VT, raised four tons of hay to
the acre and tells how he did it, with
the ID of Bradley's fertilizer. David

Maple Sugar Making by Steam.

A writer in the Rutland Herald de-
scribes process for boiling sap by
steam, devised by A. w. Gray & Son
of Middletown Springs. The firm, he
says, carries on an extensive milling
business, involving lumber, grain and
cider-making, and uses thirty-horse-
power engine, as well as water-power.
An evaporator similar in principle and
working to the patent evaporators now
in use, though quite different in detail,
has been constructed. II is made en-
tirely of wood-pine in this instance,

Tainted Butter,

In the fall and winter slightly tainted
butter is very common in the market,
and makers cannot be any too particular
in keeping their stock perfectly free
from all faulty flavor. The butter that
is only slightly tainted often causes the
greatest loss to the maker. This butter
may be otherwise first class, and if sold
on the market at once might be marked
as prime or fancy. But slight faint
develops rapidly, and by the time the
butter reaches the market there is a
faulty flavor sufficient to mark the but
ter as second or third class. This
causes too great loss to be endured
with equanimity, and yet butter must
be sold upon it's merits. There is other
butter at this time of the year that is
80 distinctly out of flavor that one must
conclude that the manufacturer knew
what he was doing. He intended to
save in feeding and make inferior but
ter, and he gets only the price that all
faulty butter brings. There is no SYM
patty with such manufacturers, for
they are steadily injuring the reputa
and abroad.
Most of the trouble comes direct
from feeding. Every one is trying to
economize in feeding at this time of
the year. Frosty feed is the most pro.
life cause of slightly defective butter.
The faint shows itself early and de-
velops rapidly, deterorating the butter
so that it cannot endure storage very
long. Creameries for self protection
must insist upon farmers feeding only
| good feed to their cows. A little indie
pendent investigation would soon weed
out the farmers who feed any and
everything to their cows from those
who are particular to feed only good
fodder. In this way the right ones will
suffer the loss, and not the helpless
consumers or the innocent creameries.
There are many other things besides
defective feed that cause trouble in the
butter, and one is the way in which the
cream is handled 10 cold weather. Some
dairymen think that the cold weather
will keep the cream all right without
any special care on their part. In the
summer time they know deterioration i.
rapid. and they have to use cold storage
and the best methods for aerating he
milk. But frequently in the fall and
winter no attention is paid to aerating
or cooling the milk, aud it is simply
poured into the deep delivery cans ovel
night and left there until morning. The
milk is affected in this way and the
butter is inferior. The milk and cream
must be kept sweet, pure and clean il
winter as we'll as in summer. If more
attention was paid to winter keeping o.
cream and milk, and better feed giver
to the cove, we would have less de

The Weed Question,

More than fifty years ago, says Gar.
den and Forest, some OF the political
farmers of New York state were thrown
into panic on account of an invasion
of the Canada thistle, and it was pub
licly predicted that this weed would
establish it's fatal empire over the
whole of North America" Experience
has proved that the Canada thistle is a
bad weed, but there are limitations of
climate which check its predicted tri-
umph over the continent, and, like
other weeds, its progress is always ar
rested by barrier of good farms; that
is, where the best crops are produced
weeds never gain foothold, and
never have chance to grow. This
law is universal Weeds do little in
jury to good, farms, and, on the contrary,
good farming exterminates weeds. This
fundamental truth should be taken into
consideration whenever the country
becomes agitated over some new weed,
and although the Russian thistle is not
likely again to brighten congress from
its propriety, other foreign weeds will
doubtless make forays into our unoc-
cupied lands in times to come, and we
ought to be prepared for them before
hand. The conquering progress, of the
so-called Russian thistle, and the bill
before congress to appropriate million
dollars for the relief of the people
whose homes and fortunes were said to
he threatened by it, furnished the text
| for paper before one of the sections
of the American Association for the Adj
vancement of Science last summer.
Professor Bailey read his paper, which
showed, in the first place, why this
weed has spread with such virulent ra-
pidity. The reason is simply that
weeds, like Other plants, grow where
they can find room, or rather can find
conditions of competition INFO which
they can enter prosperously. They
may grow in land that is already occu-
pied, just as climbing plants will -four
ish in dense thickets of shrubbery, or
pumpkins grow in cornfield. What
is needed to exclude weeds is not only
occupation by other vegetation, but a
rotation in which the weeds which come
in with one crop may be destroyed by
the cultivation of the next This SIM
ply means that the conditions of success
full agriculture are those against which
weeds can never prevail. The daisies
have not ruined the good meadows in
the East, but they usurp control of soil
which has been already exhausted and
where the grass is not properly encour-
aged in the struggle. 1t is along road
sides and in neglected fields that Can
ada thistes flourish. In the untitled
plains of Dakota or over the leagues of
titled land where wheat follows wheat,
yielding in endless succession year after
year eight or nine bushels TO the acre,
the conditions are just such as invite
such sturdy intruder as this Russian
weed. There are more weeds in the
West than in the East because there is
more waste ground.

depth. 1t ia divided into three COM
partments, one of which is nearly as
wide as the other two, which are Of
equal width. Sixteen oneinch galvan-
lied iron pipes, aggregating 12S feet in
one continuous pipe, are used-eight Of
these lying at the bottom of the wide
compartment, into which the sap /,
introduced in continuous stream, and
four in each of the narrow compart-
ments. Fifteen gallons of sap are all
that is needed at q time in the evapora-
tor, or half an inch in depth, thus only
half covering the pipes. With thirty
to forty pounds pressure of steam adj
mitted to the pipes, evaporation at once
commences and the compartments are
filed with foam, varying in depth from
+ five to ten inches. This will explain
why the partitions must need be so
high. Evaporation must of course pro-
coed very rapidly under such favorable
circumstances. Mr.. Gray says that,
with sap of average quality, four gal
Ions of syrup per hour can be turned
out, or four barrels of sap boiled away
in the same time, and this with about
two-thirds of the fuel needed to do the
same work with the ordinary evapora-
tor, with which he has had an extensive
experience. Of course less labor, IS
we'll as less expense, is also involved.
Mr.. Gray called particular attention
to the "skimming counters" at the
end of each compartment toward
which the sap flows. These are simply
bits of plank an inch thick as wide
as the compartments and five or
six inches in length. The skim
mings, with a very little help, will
lodge on these and stay till skinned off,
thus preventing their being boiled over
and over, as in the ordinary evaporator.
The quality of the syrup made by this
process is unqualifedly frst-class. In
fact, it cannot we'll be otherwise, since
there is no possibility of burning. Dur
ing the cider-making season, Gray &
Son employ an entirely similar process
for making boiled cider and apple jelly,
large quantities of which they furnish
for market. Their last seasons make
of apple jelly alone Amounted to over
$4,000 pounds. They maintain that
this process is not only possible but prac-
ticable, and even profitable, especially
with sugar makers who can command
the use of steam boiler. They are
aware that, as a general rule, farmers
cannot afford to buy boiler simply fol
such use, though, with secondhand
boilers so cheap, it is in nowise certain
but that, in the end, it will pay to in
vest in one for this purpose only.
No doubt steam-made maple sugar
might posses, certain advantages. New
ertheless, with the great improvements
made in evaporators, and because Of
certain impracticable features in the
scheme described above, farmers in
general will not be buying steam boil
ers and apparatus for making maple
sugar until the process is embodied il
some form more practicable and more
available than the first attempt O
Messrs. Gray & Son. The sugar makers
will wait till inventive skill has simpli
fed the process and brought its cos
within the means of the average farmer
