HOW TO SALT BUTTER.

Some Practical suggestions About
This important Point in Butter
Making.
Perhaps everyone who has ever MADE
butter has been troubled with TINS at
some time. The cause Of the mottled
condition which is frequently seen III
butter is q disputed one, yet it is sim
pie enough after all. AS we all know,
salt affects the color of butter. All
butter takes on a deeper hue when 1t
has been sailed a few hours. Take a
lot of butter from the churn in mass,
salt it in streaks by cutting down
through it with the ladle and scatter
inc salt freely where the ladle went,
let it stand half day before working,
and you will see good Illustration
of notified butter. In a few words
the explanation is this Notified but
ter is caused by uneven Distribution
of salt. nothing more OF 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 pre-
vent adhesion, drain and salt while
still in the churn, then revOlve the
churn or tip from side to side until
the butter globules mass somewhat
and the salt is evenly distributed. BY
tipping the churn one way then the
other, the salt may be very evenly
sprinkIed on, or a wooden fork OF suit
able size may be used to stir it up,
adding only a portion o. the salt at a
time. The salt melts or dissOlves the
moment it touches the grains OF but
ter. and each grain is instantly coated
with brine. Then when the butter
has drained a few minutes remove 1t
to the worker, press until moderately
dry and pack away. No further Work
ing 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 a favorite method with
those who try it. The amount Of but
ter can be very closely estimated, as
the amount from a 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
ure out a pound of Salt-uSually full
pint of salt will weigh a pound, ana
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 out, that is sufficient and it
can as well be done at one operation as
at two.-Hoard's Dairyman.

Got Into Bad Company.

San Francisco, Aug. 8. = James A.
Campbell, a Honolulu millionaire who
disappeared last Monday, returned last
night With a bullet-hole through his
hat and an exciting tale about an adj
venture with robbers. Campbell says
that while he was drinking in a private
room in a saloon he was confronted by
two masked men who demanded
money. The millionaire refused the
demand, and in the fight that followed
n bullet went through his hat, and
Campbell says he was robbed and kept
a prisoner for two days. When re-
leased last night he was given nickel

A. Test of Winter Turf oats.

I herewith send you my experience
with winter turf cats. About Sept. 10,
1894, l sowed two bushels of winter
cats OH new upland or white oak flat
land. The following winter being rath-
er severe they froze out badly, and at
threshing | had eight bushels of oats
and four bushels of cheat. Last year
$500 l soWed four acres Of winter
oats on the LIST day Of September, on
the best of bottom land; sowed one
bushel of seed to the acre. They came
UP and completely covered the ground
before winter, and grew well all Win
ter, and by the last of May they were
four feet high and looked as il they
might yield an immense crop, but there
came q rain with wind any they went
down in a mess and never got UP any
more 1t continued wet, and finally
backwater got over n large portion Of
them. We cut some Of them with a
moving machine and raked, and fed
them as hay, the most Of the grain
having shattered out. Some Of my
neighbors have grown them success
fully on rather poor land, getting as
high as forty to sixty bushels per acre,
but we find them very hard to keep
anything like pure. They so readily
get wheat and rye mixed with them,
and they seem always to have more or
less cheat mixed with them. Some Of
my neighbors have paStured them both
in the fall and early spring, with no
visible damage to the acreage yield. l
think they are best adapted to rather
light soil and require early seeding,
not later than Sept l. They seem to
grow very much in punches, and stool
out wonderfully. Their time of ripen-
ing is right along with wheat, and I
look at them as superior to spring oats,
as you can get them i'll better condition
and can harvest and thresh with

Keep Up the Milk Flow.

The period when the milk yield COM
monty shrinks is upon us, and it's two
principal causes are scant pastures and
flies. The first of these causes is as
vet less effective this season than it
has been for several years past because
this has been an exceptionally good
grass year in the West. Still the
grasses upon which we largely depend,
and particularly blue grass, take their
summer vacation as regularly as does
the fashionable lady, and even in the
most favorable grass seasons it will
continue to do it. While, therefore,
the pastures are this year better than
they have been in recent ones, the i'm
portance of supplementary feeding
still continues, both for the sake of the
pasture and that of the animal. The
fact has gradually impressed itself
upon those engaged in dairying until
now a large proportion of dairymen
make as regular provision for sup
plementing their pastures as they do
for winter feeding. They know that it
is very essential to keep up the milk
flow, for should it be permitted to fall
off it can never be restored by even the
best of feeding to what it was before.
The planting of special crops to be fed
as green forage, in the nature of par
tial soiling, has therefore become very
common and should grow to be univer-
sal. Those dairymen who have made
provision for bridging over the scant
pastures of midsummer know how adj
vantageous this course is to them.
They are not likely to abandon it.
Those who have not acquired the habit
are receiving or will receive, an addi-
tional lesson on the subject. Let us
hope that with a clearer insight into
their own interests they will not per-
NIT another season to pass without
making systematic provision for mid
summer. In the meantime they should
do the best they can with the means
at their disposal. Green feed should
be found if possible, and the milk flow
kept up. Stopping with suitable grains
will also be advantageous and contrib
ute to sustaining the milk flow.
The fly too, is another obstacle to
sustaining yield during fly time. Any
thing that causes annoyance to a milk
cow is quite certain to furnish q meas
ure of the amount of the annoyance in
the reduction of the yield. That which
arises from the persistent attacks of
flies is q very severe annoyance and
it's effects are therefore large. There
are a good many different fly repel-
lants some of which are effective and
some are considerably less so. Good
summer protection and shade in parts
of the pasture open to every breeze
that blows. afford one of the best
means of protecting the COW against
serious fly annOyances. The evil as
it effects dairying has become more Sc
rious since the advent of the horn fly.
When it appears in a herd it is such
a persistent pest that repellant of
some kind is necessary, otherwise the
irritation it causes will be productive
of very serious loss Among the best
saDelIants is fish oil in which crude

Luckv for Little Bear.

Helena, Mont, Special.-At Regina,
n. w. T., to which district the rene
gade Crees were sent from Montana,
Little Bear and Lucky Man, the two
Cree chiefs who were arrested by the
Canadian Indian police several weeks
ago, have been released. Little Bear
was the head chief of all the CreeS.
At Great Falls he protested nightly
Mt being sent across the line. He said
that he thought the Canadian govern
ment wanted to punish him and his
people for the part they had taken IN
the Louie Reil rebellion more than ten
wears AGO. He was informed that the
Canadian government had granted
amnesty, but for murders committed
outside of regular battle the proclama-
ton did not otTer pardon, and that
stuck in Little Bears individual crop
Finally he and Lucky Man were ar
rested. They were charged with the
murder of a priest more than ten years
ago. They were believed to be guilty
of what is known in the Northwest
Territory as the mission murder, one
of the worst crimes ever perpetrated III
the country. They were acquitted. IL
is believed that the Indians were inn
rlicated in the murder, but it was SO
long AGO that no evidence can be OBJ

CABBAGEs ON VINES.
A New Deal In Vegetables Made by
Nature in Iowa.

Nature In iowa.
Lake Park, Iowa, Aug. SIS. r. Buff
fun, market gardener living near
here, has one of the most remarkable
vegetables on record. In his cabbage
patch last year occurred a ''spTout,"
by which plant, instead of making a
head in true cabbage style, assumed
the form Of vine At the axis of it's
leaves thirteen cabbage heads OF about
two pounds weight were formed. The
plant went to seed. something unusual
for first year cabbage. The seeds
We're formed in the usual manner, all
the earliest cabbageS OH the vine
throwing out seed stalk. Mr. Buff
fun saved the seed, and, on planting
it this year, it grew well, and many OF
the plants have assumed the yine-l1kc
habit of the parent, although the ma
jority have returned to the natural
form of cabbage. 1t is believed, how
ever that the vine variety can be es-
tablished. Mr.. Buffum has been eX-
perimenting with the plants and hndS
that if the heads are cut off as soon as
they attain a weight of about one
pound, the vine, like cucumbers, VIII
continue to form a large number or
heads. The variety of cabbage from
which the sprout occurred was SaiZerS
Lightning. The vine cabbage is the
most grotesque appearing plant inn
aginable. The leaves are thrown out
in pairs and the cahbages lie around
under them like pumpkins. The vines
are about ten feet in length. The new
variety is bound to become popular,
owing to it's remarkable bearing quail
tiles. and also because it natures cab
bage within two months from date OF
planting.

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 8.-Robert J.
again demonstrated that he is the
greatest PAGER ever harnessed to a
sulky. Frank Agan was the favorite
III the free-fOrall pace, and relying
upon his remarkable performance at
Cleveland, nearly every hOrseman on
the track backed him to win. Previous
to the second heat of the great race
Robert J. had few hackers outside
of Hamfin and the attaches of the
Village Farm stables. When Robert
J. took the second heat, however by a
fine squirt at the finish the big crowd
became enthused and he at once be-
came q hot favOrite. 1t was evident
from the first that Robert was to be
driven to win, and the fact that Agan
was so heavily backed made it certain
that the race would be holly contested.
And so it was. 1t was the greatest
race Of the year, the fastest four con-
SecutiVe heats and the fastest fourth
heat ever paced or trOtted on any track
being made. In the first heat, paced ia
2:03 81, Agan lowered his record half
q second and broke the track record.
The second and third heats, in 2:O4 1-2,
we're considered phenomenal, but the
crowd was not prepared for the great
surprise when the fastest fourth heat
ever paced OF trotted was made, the
time being POP 3-4.
When the first heat was paced the
sky was covered with heavy dark
clouds that fOreboded a storm, and
scarcely a breeze stirred. The track
was faster than any day since the
IA ces began. The immense grand stand
was filled with people, and there was
a perfect jam in the betting sheds.
There were three starters in the race:
Frank Agan, driven by Mccarthy;
Robert j., driven by Starr, and Ruben
stein, driven by Laird. Geers expected
to drive Robert j., but had not suf-
ficiently recovered from the accident
of Wednesday. In the first heat the
horses started away we'll, Agan tax
ing the lead and holding it all the
way around, with Rubenstein second
and Robert J. third. In the second
heat Agan took the lead and Ruben
stein dropped behind Robert J. before
the first quarter was paced. Robert j.
kept a close second all the way around
to the stretch, when he began TO move
up. Just at the finish Agan was pulled
off his feet and Robert J. went under
the wire a length ahead. The third
heat was almost a repetition OF the
second. Agan took the lead and Rob
crit J. Rugged his sulky until they came
into the stretch, when Robert ]. moved
ahead easily. In the fourth heat a
pretty start was made and Rubenstein
set the pace, the three horses going in
q bunch almost to the three-Quarter
poIe, with Agan in the lead. After that
Rubenstein dropped back and Robert
J., as in the previous heats, Rugged
Agan's sulky until they turned into
the stretch, when Robert J. moved up
and paced under the wire a length
ahead of Agan. The time by quarters
in the last heat was: 80 IA, 1:01 IL,
1:31, 2:O2 3-4.

Second Day.

The convention recOnVeled this morning
shortly after 10 O'Clock, and the secOnding
of gubernatorial nominations was resumed
Before the seconding speeches were COM
rleted Senator ThurstOn was introduced
and made q brief speech. He said that he
had spoken last night about the money
question, but he wanted to say that in
forty days the money question would be
settled and the tariff question would be the
paramount issue. Anarchy and socialism
would have to give way before the good
sense of the American people.

ran up to 29312 and La Toilette dropped to
$50. On the fourth ScOteld had 31oR and
La Toilette was stationary. This was the
beginning of the end and on the sixth
ballot La Follette's general, H. 9. Adams,
moved to make the vote for Sco1ield unani-

Dniry Notes.

Don't cry over split milk, but try an"
other cow, and one that doesn't kick.
Strainers of cotton cloth are better
than wire. Several thicknesses should
be used.
To get all of the butter out of the
cream, churn at n low temperature and
in a cool room.
Fat, blocky COWS are fine-looking an
imals, but the lank and wedge-like
ones are the best milk machines.
One of the regulations of the Illinois
state board of health is that dairy
COWS shall be cleaned every day.
Thirty-two states in the Union now
have laws prohibiting the sale of oleo-
margarine when colored i'll imitation
of butter.
Have ready good supply of green
corn, fodder, green oats, rye or peas
for the COWS when the pastures begin
to dry up.
Oleo dealers in Ohio are excited over
the enforcement of the new laws i'll
that state. They have been arrested
and fined, but many of them have kept
on selling.
The largest proportion of milk is
made up of water, and this, too, from
the water that is daily given the COW
to drink; hence. the Importance of sup
plying pure water for ,e cows to
drink
Never let the sun shine in milk. New
er put it away without aerating it.
Never let it stand open in the air after
it has been aerated. Nothing is as
susceptible to evil germs in the air as
milk.
Lots of people will tell you that
they can do just as we'll without a
thermometer, and that they can tell
the exact temperature of water with
their hand. They can't do it at all
times, or with any degree of certainty
at all.
It is nearly impossible to get things
sweet and clean if they are. left for
hours, or, perhaps, all night, with sour
cream or buttermilk or melting butter
on them to be absorbed by the wood,
so it will ever seem the same again.
A heifer that is to be raised for the
dairy should be handled and made ac-
customed to all necessary manipula-
lions from the time she is calf until
maturity. If this is done she will, i'll
all cases, prove to be the better COW.
Care for the COW at calving time, or
she will be protitless the rest of the
season; also, put a little oil meal or
oat meal N the milk for the calves, to
keep them plump, and see that they do
not gorge themselves; and remember
that the calf makes the COW.
Some people boast that they can
keep the cows udder clean, and per-
haps they do, but all the rest of the
animal is left in a filthy condition.
The dirt dries into the hair, and then
the act of milking shakes it down, like
dust, into the pail, rendering the milk
unfit for human food.
Nine times out of ten, when the milk
is not good, the trouble is local mat.
ter traceable to the care of the COW OF
the milk. Ropy, blue or stringy milk
is due to atmospheric causes, where
the air has become infected with the
invisible horde of spores, due to un-
clean or untidy stables, and can be
gemedied DromDtly and wholly.
