CREAM R1pEN1Na.

How can the right stage of fermen-
tation be known? The usual method
is by the looks and the way it chan
dies" The cream will thicken and
get o smooth, %velvety appearance.
When a ladle is dipped into it and the
cream stirred, then the ladle held up
and the cream allowed to drip from
it, it will u down in a thick stream
and adhere to thf ladle evenly. If it
runs off in Uneven streams, going in
chunks and leaving bare streaks on
the ladle, the fermentation has gone
too far. So also in pouring the cream
from one vessel to a%nother-if chunks
appear aud there is thin, wheyey fluid
in the bottom, the fermentation has
gone too far. An experienced butter
maker learns the nature of his cream
and learns how to avoid these extremes
with fair success, As to whether it is
better to ripeb rapidly and .churn
soon, or ripen slowly aud churn at
the expiration of q longer period, is a
matter that is now under closer inves-
tigation than ever before, with differ
ent buttermakers. Some premium
winners ripen rapidly, some cool the
cream and hold cool for hours, ther
warm o little and ripen gradually. AL
agree that il some OF the milk is of in
ferior quality, it is better to start thu
ripening with milk that is known, tt
be of good qualify, and add this, aftei
it has fermentep to the cream. -E.C
Bennett, in Dairy World.

The behavior Of our common even
ing primrose, at the opening OF the
flowers, has been o puzzle for q cen
fury. Toward evening the petals e4.
pand with a suddenness that is SUI.
prising, and the exterior envelope, the
calyx, mot only expands, but recurves
on the capsule and flower stalk. ~
has hitherto been referred to the gen.
Grafton of heat within the incloseo
petals. 1t has been demonstrated that
in many flowers there is a rapid rise IN
the temperature Just before expansion
This has been q matter of actual ex'
pertinent in the case OF many OF the
Arum family, and among palms. Ther'
mometers have been inserted in the
unopened spathes, and the facts well
ascertained. There are no recorded
experiments on the evening primrose ;
but it is assumed that the increased
temperature ia here as well as in other
cases. But the careful scientific man
has been 10th to accept mere assump'
ton, and M. Rose has been again over
the matter and has recently given his
conclusion in the "Bulletin" OF the
Botanical so:iety OF France. He ig'
nores now the theory of expansion by
heat and refers the act to the opera
ton of the moisture expanding within
the inclosed petals proportionate to
the amount of heat the plant was un.
der during the day. There does moi
seem to be much difference between
the two notions, except that the extra
heat is supposed to be absorbed from
the outside instead of being generated
within. So far as the act itself is con-
cerned, the internal heat would un'
doubtedly tend to vaporize whatever
might be inside the Enclosure, and 1t
would take a nice experiment to decide
in this case whether the heat or the
moisture was the leading factor. Bal
neither speculation accounts for the
recurring of the sepals. Independent.

FARMERS WIVES As POULTRY RAlsERs.

1t seems strangs that farmers no not
encourage an industry that pays SO
much profit, writes J. H. Duvis. Poul-
try raising is admirably adapted to
women, and il thetarmer will fix up
commodious and substantial houses,
and start the women folks in the bust
ness with pure breeds adapted to their
WANTS or to their choice, there will be
a bank account annually from this
source alone. I lGtely read of one
farmers wife making $3.50 clear on her
fowls; another made 1915 and an
other cleared 1925 And such state
ments are common Farmers should
be more considerste Of their women
folks, and give them more household
help; then they would be free to carry
on this profitable industry, which
would add TO their wealth, health aud
happiness. -Ame,ican Agriculturist.

Neglecting to salt the COWS regular
ly is often o cause of the butter not
coming.
Milk to churn easily and make good
butter should not be over thirty-six
hours old.
Sour the milk and the sugar in it is
all changed into acid; this has little
OF no feeding valne.
Showing the amount of fat actually
in the milk does not indicate how
much the buttermaker can get out OF
il.
a little variation in the ration now
will aid materially in keeping up the
quality as we'll as quantity of the
milk.
There is no lnpger a profit in MAX
ing any but th best quality of butter,
and to do thise proper outfit is nee
essary.
Il
and giving othet foods properly to
sustain the bodA of The animal, will
make it nav better TO keen COWS.

A Power That cspnot Be Stolen.

According to the Electric Review, it
has been decided by a court in Ger.
many t6st electricity cannot Be
stolen. An electric Light company
discovered that a man had tapped the
wires and was using electricity as
power. Several thousand amperes of
current had been consumed when the
discovery vas made. The question
arose in court whether an invisible,
intangible material could be carried
of. With a curious disregard for the
very evident facts in the case, the
court ruled that only a movable, ma
terial object could be stolen. They de-
cided that electricity did not come
under that head, and the appropriation
of the electric current was allowed to
go free.

pastor, Rev. Mr.. Campbell, came to visit
me, and told me he knew of q case very
similar to mine that had been entirely cured
by the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pulls for
Pale People and advised me to try them, as
the physicians were not doing me any good.
On this my father bought me two boxes
which l took according to directions, and l
began to recover, getting stronger every day.
1 kept on with DR.. Williams remedy until
1 had taken two dozen boxes, and by that
time every trace OF rheumatism was gone,
