WITHDRAWING RULES.
Heoently Issued by the Royal Agricultural
Society of England.


Simple rules for butter-making have
been issued in revised form by the
Royal Agricultural society, Of England,
and are printed as follows in our Eng
fish contemporaries. They are put in
the following manner:
Prepare churn, butter-worker, wooden
hands and sieve as follows: "a Rinse
with cool water; (2) scald with boiling
water; (3) rub thoroughly with salt;
"a rinse with cold water.
Always use correct thermometer.
The cream when in the churn to be at
temperature of SO to IS degrees in sum-
mer, and 60 to 62 degrees in winter. The
churn should never be more than half
full. Churn at number of revolutions
suggested by maker of churn. If none
are given, churn at 40 to 45 revolutions
per minute. Always churn slowly at
first.
Ventilate the churn freely and FREE
quently during churning, until no air.

Stop churning Immediately the but
ter comes. This can be ascertained by
the sound; if in doubt, look.
The butter should now he like grains
of mustard seed. Pour in a small
quantity of cold water Zone pint water
to two quarts creamy to harden the
grains, and give a few more turns to the
churn, gently. Draw off the buttermilk,
giving plenty Of time for draining. Use
straining-cloth placed over a hair
sieve, so as to prevent any loss, and wash
the butter in the churn with plenty Of
cold water; then draw off the water.
ard repeat the process until the water
comes off quite clear.
To brine butter, make a strong brine.
two or three pounds of salt TO one gal
lon of water. Place straining-cloth
over mouth of churn, pour in brine, put
lid on churn, turn sharply half dozen
times, and leave from ten to fifteen
minutes. Then lift the butter out Of
churn into sieve, turn butter out on
worker, leave it few minutes to drain.
and work gently till all superfuous
moisture is pressed out.
To dry-salt butter, place butter on
worker, let it drain ten to fifteen min
utes. then work gently till all the butter
comes together. Place it on the scales
and weigh; then weigh salt; for slight

Yield of Cheese from MIX

With ordinary milk the yield is about
2.5 pounds of cured cheese for each
pound of butter fat in the milk. The
per cent. of butter fat in different milks
very nearly determines their relative
values for cheese making. Prof. Van
Slyke, of New York, found by series OF
careful experiments that with milk
ranging from "a per cent, TO "A per
cent. the amount to each pound of but.
ter fat was 2.72 pounds of green cheese,
or 2.5 pounds cured five weeks. II was
found that per cent. milk made but "a
pounds OF cured chevse for each pound
of butter fat, but the better quality of
the cheese from the richer milk was

GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

In growing fruit and vegetables if
large size is desired do not overcrowd,
but give each plant and specimen plenty
of room.
Most varieties of pears are finer in
flavor if they are picked and ripened in
the house rather than left on the
tree until fully ripe.
Sudden and severe pruning, such as
taking off large quantity of wood in a
single season, is apt 10 ruin the fruit
crop of the next season.
One rule in pruning should be to thin
out every year all the old exhausted
wood, all weak, young shoots and all
that cannot reach full light.

of raspberries and blackberries can be
done now by pinching the young canes

The GARDENERS SONG.


Ohl a gardeners life is as pleasant life

IT'S glad pursuit to plant the root,
And nurse the flower and tree.
His life is set to ceaseless song,
Sweeter than poet can sing,
Warbled In notes from the feather'd throats
OF the birds, from summer to spring.
And doth he not make the widest brake
Gay as a conquerors fleet?
For his strong right hand is the magic
wand
That brings fresh flowers to our feet.
with a sneer or frown a man may look
down
Upon many ignoble trades
But purple and pride even dare not deride
The work of the king of spades
The oldest craft known he claims as his
own,
The only work Heaven thought well
Should be done by a man ere trouble be-
gan,

Then the men of the spade should be proud

Invading no crowded mart,
Whose daily toll gives wealth to the soil.
And Joy to the home and heart.

A Parasite, That Does Much Damage and

Larvae of the neat cucumber worm
may be found by the wholesale in some
gardens, running pickles or cucumbers.
The larva is easily recognizable; it is
about one inch long and of a yellowish
white color with greenish tinge. On
each segment are few slightly elevated
shining dots, from each of which a fine
hair issues. The head of the larva is
yellow with brown margin. The illus
tration herewith represents the cucum-
Der as affected; the larvae generally be-
gin to appear about the middle of July
and continue their depredations until
late in September, feeding on the flesh
of the cucumber, rendering it unfit for
use, and causing premature decay.
Often several specimens are found on
single cucumber. When mature the

The great bustard formerly haunt
ed all the level counties of England,
and was particularly common on Sails

VIII. repeated measures were passed
in order 70 protect it; and it is express
~ included under the head of game in
the statute of the first year of the
reign of William ", which codified and
reformed the laws relating to game. The
close season for bustard shooting was
and is from the first of March tothe first
of September. But the native bustard is
now extinct in England. The last was
killed at Swaffham in Norfolk, in 1898.
Any that have been shot since have
been merely casual visitors, probably
coming from the plains of Saxony. The
causes OF the disappearance of the bus
tard are, firstly, the sport they af-
forded, for they were hunted with
greyhounds as well as shot; secondly,
the increase in the amount of cultivated
land. This largest Of European birds,
weighing as much as 30 pounds, could
no longer find any sufficient support
