terday by the flagship New York, ana
the battleshlp Indiana took up the chal-

o'clock this afternoon. The ten-oared
cutters were each manned, and, with
a coxwafn. were towed down TO

course was three miles straight away,
and back to the flagship. The boats got

held until near the finish. IL was not until
then that the Indiana's coxswain called
upon his men. who responded CALAMITY,
and shot their boat ahead, winning by
five or six lengths, amid the cheers or

At haaf-past o'clock the naval officers
came ashore with their football team
to try conclusions with a team composed
OF army officers, and two or three MEM

that the teams were very evenly match

Troubles in Butter Making.

,oPerhaps every one who has ever made
butter has been troubled with this at
some time. The cause of the mottled
condition which is frequently seen in
butter is disputed one yet 1t is simple
enough after all.
AS we all know salt affects the color OF
butter. All butter takes on deeper hue
when it has been salted few hours
Take lot of butter from the churn in
mass, salt it in streaks by cutting
down through it with the laddle and
scattering salt freely where the laddle
went, let it stand half day before
working and you will see good illus.
tration of notified butter. In few
words the explanation is this: Notified
butter is caused by uneven distribution
of salt, nothing more or less.
To avoid this the following plan is an
excellent one, and one which is followed
by many of our best butter makers to
day.
Leave the butter in granules, wash
with water cold enough to prevent ad-
hesion, drain and salt while still in the
churn, then revolve the churn or tip
from side to side until the butter glob-
ules mass somewhat and the salt is
evenly distributed.
By tipping the churn one way then
the other, the salt may be very evenly
sprinkled on, or wooden fork ,of suit
able size may be used to stir it up,
adding only a portion of the salt at a
time.
The salt melts or dissolves the moment
it touches the grains of butter and each
grain is instantly coated with brine.
Then when the butter has drained few
minutes remove it to the worker, press
until moderately dry and pack away.
No further working is necessary, and
there will be no trace of streaks or a
notified condition to be found.
Sailing in the churn is sure to be
favorlte method with those who try it.
The amount Of butter can be very closely
estimated as the amount from given
quantity of cream does not vary very
materially from time to time. Nor is it
essential to weigh out the salt each
time. Measure out pound of salt, u.s.
ually full pint of salt will weigh a
pound, and it is more quickly measured
than weighed each time.
Some adhere very tenaciously to the
old way of twice working their butter,
but once is a great plenty. If the salt
is evenly distributed and the excess of
moisture pressed OFT hat is sufficient
and can as we'll be done at one operation
as at two. w. y. LOCKWOOD.

About Corn.
da. Agricu1turist:

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
have field of corn with tall and
large stalks, but which gives little prom
ise of caring. Calling to mind the ex-
periments made at Washington several
years ago, IN the manufacture Of sugar
from corn, and remembering that some
tests gave satisfactory results, the idea
presented itself, that entire loss might
be prevented by utilizing these fine
stalks for making syrup, particularly as
the warmth and dryness which prevents
caring would cause the juices to be rich
in saccharine matter. While no one
could reasonably advocate the growing
Of corn for sugar, where cane can be far
more proftably grown, yet in an emer-
gency like the present, is it not possible
that it might be so used to advantage?
AS your paper leads in the discussion of
questions relating to practical and profit
able agriculture, what could be more
natural than that should, through it's
columns, appeal to the advance thinkers
in this department, who seem to regard
the AGRICULTURIsT as the knights of old
did the Round Table of good King Ar
thur. If experiments have been made
will some one please give results.
A SUBSCRIBER.
The corn might be worked up in the
way you suggest but the results would
not warrant the expenditure of time and
money necessary to omplish it. Pos
sibly your corn is too thick for the
strength of the land, and could be helped
by thinning or an application of ferti-
lizer containing a high percentage of
potash, or the sulphate of potash itself.
Our experience with corn last year,
showed that il produces more corn where
planted "thin," and not so much stalk,
but where the stalks were thick they
were larger and but little corn unless
fertiliZed extra heavy. If you have
stock of any kind, you can get the most
out of the corn by curing it for fodder.
Possibly some one has made syrup out
of corn stalks, and can, and will give
their results, but we do not look for any
startling developments.-E

bated among my neighbors as to the
cropping of hay impoverishing the soil,
the southern farmer believes in letting
it rot where it grew. l believe in cut
ting it and by so doing l improve the
quality of the soil; because the stubble
growth it afterwards makes has fifty
roots for the one it previously had, and
by plowing under this stubble, roots and
all in the fall of the year after all growth
ceases, improve my land great deal
more than the man who allows his hay
to rot where it lies, and plows his land
in the spring just in time to get in his
spring crop, and I have hay for my
stock all the year round and they are

the woods and in the winter are nothing
but skin and bone.

Increasing Hay Yield.

Increasing Hay Yield.
1t is an astonishing fact that the ma
jority of southern farmers spend at least
three months out of every twelve killing
their very best friend in their efforts to
get rid of The natural growth of crab
grass that growsso luxuriant all through
the south on all we'll cultivated and ferti-
lized land.
1t is true saying that it takes brains
to run farm, and some men who are
farmers are wholly unsulted to their
calling, g,and others if suited are SO hedged
around with old notions and prejudices
that T. ey will never leave the old ruts
and systems that were in vogue sixty or
more years ago. The majority of farm
ers work very hard and accomplish all
that they think it possible to do in q
certain time and during the season at
their disposal, but if with this hard
work they are unsystematic they are
simply throwing away so much time and
energy. This fact will be very forcibly
impressed on any one travelling through
some sections of our southern states in
the fall of the year on seeing so much
valuable hay left to rot in the fields, when
it might have been saved and used to
advantage either for market or feeding
at home. am safe in saying that in
this county (Walton) alone last fall there
were ten thousand tons of good crab
grass hay left in the fields to decay and
rot all for the want of little push and
energy to cut it and cure it, and all
through the winter months cattle are
roaming the woods in state of semi
starvation belonging to these very farm
ers that owned these fields and either
through shiftlessness or laziness, (or per
haps both) they would not use what
nature so literally bestowed on them.
On visiting the various country stores
one is impressed with the fact that all
kay for sale is baled timothy shipped in
from the north or west; once in while
one comes across bale of crab grass
hay but it is very seldom indeed. Now
this crab grass hay is one of the most
valuable products of the southern farm,
and beng an annual crop the yield Of it
is very much increased by judicious
fertilizing, it grows spontaneous and the
better the previous cultivation the
heavier the growth of it. We never have
it on new land but after the second
wears cultivation it is sure to come to
the front. 1t makes far superior hay to
timothy and stock that are used to 1t
will not eat any other kind of hay as long
as they can get it, and every farmer in
the south can have all OF it he wants II
he rotates his crop in judicious man
ner and the best of it rs that 1t will grow
after another crop has been taken of.
