BUTTER WASHING.
ITO BE CONTINUED ]

Years ago it vas generally supposed
that in order to make really fine butter
one must not allow a drop of water to
touch it. OF late years, since we be
gun to hear so much about granular
butter, we have been instructed to
wash it in successive waters until this
was drawn off clear, Or clear from
milkiness. It ismy opinion that neither

follow, writes Mrs. E. r. Wood in the

butter for a number of years, and have
come to the conclusion that either ex

even in granular form, until the water
runs off clear, will give us a butter that
will not decay or urn strong &c soon

che other hand, while the flavor is en-

NORTH Carolina SHEEP AND
WOOL.

Last week we gave a very interest,
ing article regarding the sheep indus
try In this State from the pen of Mr.. 81.
Stewart, OF Macon county. TINS we
clipped from the Albany, N. Y Coun
try Gentleman.
T "a week we are glad to clip from
the NV York Wool Record an article
which also emphasIzas the importance
and possibilities of the sheep and wool
industries IN this State.
Toe Wool r cord, we may say, is
considered the organ of those engaged
in the sheep industry In this country,
and is recognIz d as authority upon all
questions relating to the sheep and
wool industries. Seeing that people so
far away see the opportunities for
sheep raising in this State, it behooves
North C~arolInians to bestir themselves
and Improve these opportunities.
The article in the Wool Record reads
as follows.
The blue ribbon and gold medal at
the Worlds Columbian Exposition, at
Chicago. for the best wool was awarded
to Mel R 8 Ticker, of Raleigh, N G..
When the comparatively little promi
nence that State en- rys as a wool pro
ducing section is considered, this
award is somewhat surprising to the
general reader. However, it is doubt
full If there is in the United States q
better section for the raising of sheep
than North Carolina. The climate,
soil, and other conditions are admirably
adapted to sheep husOandry. The win
ters are not so sever that the sheep re.
quire shelter much OF the time. And
there are but days when they are un
able to gain a living on the field or
forest range. With the exception of
excessive winter weather, such as was
experienced during January Of 1893,
they will keep in good condition with
what they will find in the fields and
woods without prepared forage. Where

A writer in a poultry paper says:
The greatest care must be taken to
keep fowls in good condition during
the molting season. 1t is a drain on
their vital powers to furnish the mate
rial for q full coat of new feathers.
There is apt to be a Iaxity of attention
to their feeding during this period on
account of their cessation of laying,
when in fact there should be mor are
taken. It is a good plan to select all
the fowls that it is desired to winter or
keep for breeding, and market the bal
Rnce. This will cut down the expense
Of the molting season. Hens which
will mott early, if they r in good con
dltion and comfortably housed, will
nearly always make the best winter
layers, while the late molters will
rarely lay until spring. These latter
should have a place where they can
keep warm and dry, and be given an
abundance of nutritious food.
The period of melting may be short
ened by careful attention and a supply
OF food rich in muscle, bone and feath-
er forming materials rather than fat
making foods. Always provide pure,
fresh water and keep the quarters
clean, Wheat, oats, linseed meal, bone
meal, meat scraps and fresh ground
bones make better food at this time
han corn or anything that may be
considered a fattening ration. While
it may not be best to feed the chickens
ell they will eat, in nearly ell cases
liberal feeding and the supplying of q
good variety will be found the most de-
sirable thing to do. The hens need to
take sufficient exercise to be healthy.
