There has been considerable testi-
mony taken Of late BY the farm pa
pers Of the country relative to the
source Of flavor In butter. All the
professors and many laymen have had
their say on the subject, but to an
outsider all is still dark. One man
reports that he and a neighbor

and yet there is decided difference in
the taste OF their respective buffers.
taught and Intelligent man how to
make butter not long since, and while
he follows my Instructions implicitly &
everything looks clean. yet his make
tastes very different from mine.
Divide the milk amoung four butter
makers from heard Of cows and they
will make four kinds of butter from it
with four kinds of taste. Why do
not know, but this is my opinion:
That cows in normal condition with
fairly good food give milk from which
perfect butter can be made, and of
course the butter from any milk can
he spoiled.
In other words, barring extra bad
feed, sickness of COW and absolute
filth getting in the milk the flavor
comes from the work of the butter
maker, be that good or bad. This is
what gives the intelligent earnest work
er great advantage over the ignorant
and indifferent in dairy work, thus
putting the profit where it belongs-in
the hands of the man who deserves
and earns it with his good and faith
full work. -Home and Farm.

A New Bordeaux Mixture.

At meeting of the National Agri-
cultural Society of France an improved
Bordeaux mixture was suggested with
the object OF removing several objec-
tions to the one now SO largely used in
this country. 1t has the advantage
over the old mixture in being less in.
jurious to foliage, less liable to be-
washed away by rains, and less liable
to choke the nozzle of the spraying
machine. The new formula is as fol-
lows:
Quicklme, 4, pounds 6 ounces; mo-
lasses, pounds ounces; sulphate Of
copper pounds 4 ounces: water, %
gallons. The essential difference be-
tween the new aud old fyrmulas is the
presence Of the molasses. which has II
greater influence than would at first
be expected. The method of mixing
is to add the molasses to thirteen gal
ions of water, then slack the lime and
add four anc onehalf gallons of water

slowly into the sweetened water, stir
ring briskly in order to mix intimately.
Next, in third (wooden) vessel dis.
solve the bluestone and pour. this into
the previous mixture. stirring we'll.
In this blending OF materials chemical
changes are taking place. When the
milk of lime and sweetened solution
are intimately mixed together, then
saccharate of lime is formed. Next,
when to this is added the solution of
sulphate of copper, a double decompo-
sitiun takes place; sulphate of lime is
formed on the one hand and soluble
saccharate of copper on the other
This saccharate of copper is only form
ed in presence of an excess of lime, and
its formation is indicated by the mix
ture assuming a beautiful greenish
tinge. Thus the mix ture is rendered
alkaline, and the acid is neutralized by
the lime.

For Home and Farm:
There is no breed of fowls that we
know Of, or have had any experience
with, that natures earlier than the
Brown Leghorns. 1t is quick race
with the pullets of this noble breed,
from the shell to the nest. The young
roosters are even more precocious than
the pullets. 1t is really wonderful to
see how early they assume the ways of
the grown fowl. Several years ago we
had young cockerel that was hatched
on the 7th of May, To crow as big as
life on the morning of the Fourth of
July. He was hardly six weeks old.
yet he had large bright red comb,
and the ways of his sire. And again,
pullet. Matched on the Bird of April,
laid her first egg on the Sth of July.
A small egg it is true, but egg never
theless. Leghorns make desirable
autumn chickens because of their rapid
growth add early maturity. Pnllets
of this breed, Matched in July or Au-
gust, will be laying before the 1st of
March This is also true of several
other varieties that grow fast, such as
Minorcas, Games Hamburgs, and the.
smaller sized common fowls; those
with smooth shanks. rather large
combs, and tendency to the white
ear lobes, which marks indicate Leg
horns, Spanish or Hamburg blood.
We favor early autumn Matched chick
ems, especially on the farm, where they
can have the range of the stubble fields
and the pasture lots, where insects
and green food are abundant

Prepare baskets now and make up
your mind to commence picking cotton
just as soon AS it begins to open, and keep
up with it as near as possible. You can
not but loose by waiting until you can
get good days picking in small com
pass, for then there will be too much
open ahead of you and you will be bound
to loose by storms and waste as we'll as
in weight. The longer cotton stays in
the field after it is open, the more you
loose. Don't let stock run in your field,
aud do not waste cotton around baskets
or at the gin or cotton house. Pick it
clean out Of the bolls and free from trash.

Hard TO Find.

II seems to be an almost universal
trait In the human family when direct
ed by those in authority to do thing
in specified time, to put IFS" In the
way instead of acquescing in the orders,
and promising compliance. 1t is also a
general fact. that when reproved for neg
lect in obeying orders or for doing badly
what is done. excuses and desire to de-
fend the wrong is uppermost in the mind
instead of a frank manly admission OF
the fault, and promise to do better
and seek to accomplish the end with the
same energy and zeal of the employer or
director. This is one of the greatest oo-
stacles in our section against business
success and it is a fruitful source OF the
idle young men in our country. There
is now. and will continue ever to be am
pie opportunities for the do or die boys
and girls, and they will not only succeed
in securing positions but keep them.

of and that your parents or employer are
hard task-masters. and that you know
more than they do, and that they cant

What is Ii.
the lime

We notice ON our horses and mules
eyes just under the inner corner of the
lower lid, hard lump with raw CEN
ter surrounded by elevated edges. We
at first paid little attention to il on the
first animal, but seeing it upon others
and its persistency in staying and in
creasing in size, we began to become UNI
easy about 1T and began treatment.
This consisted in the application to the
raw center of pure carbolic acid as fol-
lows. Put about 20 drops of the acid in
spoon or old cup, and dip the end of a
small stick into it. holding the stick
down to prevent the acid from running
down it, and touch the sore with the end
of the stick containing the acid, redip-
ing it in the acid and applying it until
the sore is well cauterized and turns
white. Care must be exercised to pre-
vent the acid from getting in the eye or
running down the face as it will blister
where not desired. A few applications
once day, will remove them. The cause
we are at loss to know. 1t has been
suggested they were produced by flies,
but this Is mere conjecture. Look at
