What Trees Do for Man

A tree is great boon to man. Il
is an educator. Its beauty of form,
limb, bud, leaf and fruit; it's never
ceasing grace in motion; it's grateful
shade; its silent companionship and
its struggle from the tender plant to
the mature and sturdy monarch of the
forest-these have an educating, re.
fning influence upon all who come
within their shadow. Trees are con.
SENATORS of the public health. They
are the great laboratories Of nature.
Their leaves absorb the carbonic acid
and give out the compromising oxygen.
They are the best and most effective
sanitary agents. No man can live
among them without absorbing their
health-giving and inspiring influence

THE FARMING WORLD.
HOW TO SALT BUTTER.
70 Avoid Nothing 10 tho Easiest ThinR
In the World.

70 Avoid Mottling 10 tho Easiest Thing
In the World.
Perhaps everyone 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 it is simple
enough after all. AS we all know, salt
affects the color of butter. All butter
takes on a deeper hue when it has been
sailed few hours. Take a lot of but
ter from the churn in a mass, salt it in
streaks by cutting down through it
with the ladle and scattering salt free
ly where the ladle went, let it stand half
a day before working and you will see
In a few words, the explanation is this:
Notified butter is caused by uneven dis
tribution 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 adj
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 suitable size may be
used to stir it up, adding only portion
of the salt at time. The salt melts or
dissolves the moment it touches the
grains Of butter, and each grain is in
stantly 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 favorite 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. Meas
,lre out pound of salt-usually full
pint of salt will weigh a pound, and it
Is more quickly measured than weighed
each time. Some adhere very tenacious
ly to the old way of twice working their
butter, but once is great plenty. If
the salt il evenly distributed and the
excess Of moisture pressed out that is
sufficient, and it can as we'll be done at
one operation as at two.-Hoard's Dairy

sheep Keep Pastures Clean.

A few sheep on the farm are of de.
cided assistance in maintaining clean
pastures. When cattle are kept on the
pasture thay will not eat the weeds,
and some of the coarser grasses as well,
unless starved into eating them, and
that is thing one does not care to do,
because it is an injury to the cattle, but
if, when the pastures are eaten down
pretty closely, flock of sheep is turned
in, about the first thing to be attacked
is the weeds and coarse grasses that the
cattle have left, and the work is done so
thoroughly, too, that the field is grad
ually cleared of this undesirable growth.

Decaying trees have been wonderful

digging four or five inches deep around
the base of the stem, scraping away the
worms and filling the hollow thus made

Do not allow grass and weeds to grow
among the small fruits. They take up
the moisture and fertility from the

NEW COW DISEASE,

I'm Many Instances 1t Completely Ruins
the Milk Flow.
From all quarters comes the com.
plant that new disease is making its
appearance among the COWS, affecting
their teats and udders, and often COM
pletely running the milk flow of the
COW. The trouble is in the nature OF
garget, but commences in an entirely
different way. A small sore like Bills
ter commences at the very end Of the
teat, and refuses to heal, closing the
channel, and to get the milk it has to be
torn open each time. The disease works
it's way up inside the teat, the inhamma-
ton getting more marked, and at last
gaining admission to the udder; the in
flammatory stages are rapid, and all
the troubles of a real case Of garget are
present; with this disadvantage, the
flow of milk does not return with the re-
duction of the fever in the milk glands.
All treatment seems to be of little avail,
and the COW is ruined. While hot water
and like treatment is valuable, it is too
late to prevent the loss, and treatment
must commence at the first appearances
Of the little blister. Take an ounce OF
carbolic acid crystals and warm them
to a liquid, and to this add an ounce OF
glycerin. Mix this in ten ounces of lin
seed oil; and then with a small glass
syringe inject some of it into the end
of the teat at least three times day,
first washing and cleaning the teat as
well as can be done. This disease seems
to be another of germ origin, and as the
carbolic acid is death to germs, the
trouble is arrested at the start. In SONS
sections this disorder is very trouble
some, and in our own stable one of our
best cows has lost two quarters of her
udder, despite our efforts to cure her,
not knowing at the start the character
of the trouble or the remedy. When a
blister forms in the end of a cows
teat, don't delay, but use the carbolio
acid at once.-Practical Farmer.
