Butter-MakIng Rules.

The instructor at Cornell agricul-
tural college, Ithaca, N. Y, has sent
out list of rules about butter making
and ripening cream. He says:
The practical part of cream ripen-
ing is this: Keep your vessel so that
it all may ripen evenly and thus avoid
loss in churning Raise the tempefa-
ture to SO degrees or IS degrees and
keep it as near that temperature as
possible until ripe, and then cool before
churning. Well ripened cream should
be coagulated or thickened. 1t should
run from height in smooth stream,
like oil. When a paddle is dipped
into it and held in the hand, it should
stick all over in a thick even coat, not
running off in streaks and showing the
surface of the paddle. When the last
drops run of the paddle back into the
vat, they should leave little dents or
depressions on the surface, which do
not close up for an instant. The
cream should have a satin gloss or
fresh surface. Churn until the gran
ules are the size of wheat kernels, then
draw off the butteImilk, and wash
through two or three waters, whirling
the churn few times around. Use
from a pint to quart of water per
pound of butter. Have the water at a
temperature Of 40 degrees to 40 de-
grees in hot weather. and from 80 de-
grees to SO degrees in winter, always
depending upon the season, natural
solidity of the butter, warmth of the
room and size of granules. If you dc
not care about feeding the washings,
| would put some salt IN my first wash
water. 1t will help to float the gran.
ules better, and perhaps dissolve out
the casein to some extent. l would
generally salt the butter in thu
churn."

Few Sensible Hints TO Suit the Busy
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS That May
Benefit our Readers.
Campbell Method.

We might assume that our readers
are familiar with the nature of the
Campbell method" of farm culture, as
we have once or twice described it,
but we may repeat that il consists,
first, in thoroughly pulVerizing the
upper three or four inches of the soil
intended to be cultivated. This is best
If the soil is already in perfect oondi-
ton this operation may be omitted.
In this upper stratum, at the end Of the
summer, is concentrated the most of
the available plant food. Secondly,
the ground is to be plowed to a uni
form depth of eight inches. by measure
and not by guess. the furrow slice to
be turned completely bottom up SO that
the pulverized surface soil containing
the humus may be in a position to
form the rootbed for the coming crop.
Third, the pillow is to be Immediately
followed by tool called the sub-sur-
face packer, which thoroughly firms
the lower four inches, but leaves the
upper stratum in friable condition
suitable for seed bed The object of
firming the lower four inches is to
prevent drying out by too free circu-
lation OF air, and to increase the in
flow of water to rot the vegetable mat
ter in the root bed. Fourth, the grain
is sown in drills, eighteen or twenty
inches apart, and the cultivator kept
going in it every week until headed
out. This surface cultivation is only
about two inches in depth, and with a
proper tool can be done very rapidly.
Corn and other hoed crops are planted
at usual distances and tended to ma
turity.
There is no doubt as to the result of
such cultivation wherever the annual
rainfall is sufficient to make a crop,
and very little rain is required when
the water is all saved. That it il
saved by this method has not been de.
termined alone by the size of the
crops, for other reasons might be
alleged for this, but more accurately
by analyses of the soil to depth of 8
foot compared with the analyses Of
adjoining soil not so cultivated. Ii
the one case there was always founG
sufficient water to make crop, and il
the other case it was not found.

The executive committee of the
Fresno County Farmers Club held a
meeting recently to discuss the condi.
ton of the vineyards and the crop out
look. Alex Gordon, chairman of the
vineyard committee, made a report
which was anything but reassuring. 1t
showed that the Vineyards in and
about Fresno have suffered this year
from the ravages of the thrips. Sew
eral remedies were proposed to, in a
measure, overcome the damage already
done. The Thompson seedless and
Sultana vineyards have suffered most,
the foliage having been almost entirely
destroyed, so that many punches have
been ruined by the sun and it is feared
that with hot weather the fruit will
be almost destroyed. 1t is pretty gen.
orally agreed that with few exceptional
vineyards the seedless crop will be a
failure this year. Muscats, too, have
suffered. This crop will prove fail
ure in most cases, and those that will
be harvested will be of poor quality.
The club discussed the methods that
should be employed to protect the
punches left bare by the killing of the
foliage from the sun. Some propose
that the ends of the vines be cut off to
protect the punches in the center.
This was not thought good plan by
the majority who stated that their ex.
perience had been that branches thus
cut soon dry up and leave the fruit
more exposed than ever.
The method of protecting the vines
which met with general approval is
that of spreading trays over the vines.
The trays should not be plated toe
fiat or they do little good. but when
kept in the right position the trays
afford, after the leaves, the best pro.
lection to the fruit

How to Handle Lemons

N. w. Blanchard, G. W. Garcelon
and B. A. Woodford, of the Southern
California Lemon Growers Associa.
ton. recommend the following method
of handling lemons.
Beginning with the picking of the
fruit, our experience shows that the
best method is to cut the stem as close
ly as possible without damage to the
lemon itself. Lay the fruit carefully
IN pail or basket, or place carefully in
the receptacle. Cans or baskets
arranged to let the fruit out at the bot
tom into the box we consider best, and
if sacks are used, have them arranged
on frame so that the fruit does not
become bruised as when in an ordi-
nary sack hung from the shoulder,
which adjusts itself to every movement
of the body and causes a continual
rubbing of the fruit. In transferring
to the boxes great care should be taken,
and if picking is done in ordinary
basket or pail the lemons should be
transferred by the hand. All baskets,
cans or pals used in picking should
be padded and boxes never filled too
full. A great deal of fruit is bruised
by the boxes being SO full that the
next box ON top rests upon the fruit.
In hauling to packing house the
wagons used should have easy springs
and teams should never go faster than
q good walk.
When fruit is received at the pack.
ing-bouse it should be gone over with
in ten days and all deeply colored
lemons and culls should be taken out.
putting the green fruit away to color.
Our judgment is that either picking
boxes, sweat boxes or trays are good
for holding the fruit when coloring.
One Of the members of the association
has his lemons in sweat boxes, three
tiers or layers in box. Boxes are
lined with old newspapers and papers

Sc much has been said and written
on fruit drying in the past that no one
who reads the farmers papers can he
in much doubt about it, says the Cali
fornia Cultivator; nevertheless, there
is always something to be learned in
putting up the most perfect fruit,
which is the only kind that pays
fair profit. Uniformity in size and
pure in ripeness when picked has much
to do with putting desirable fruit
on the market. 1t should be ripe when
picked, but not overripe, and due al.
lowance should be made, if by any
contingency it has to be kept day or
two before working up, for getting
rapidly soft in warm weather after
picking. This applies to peaches as
well as apricots, but apricots will be
all out of the way before this time.
If peaches are to be peeled, if free
stones, they will have to be compare.
lively hard in order to get labor. saving
appliances to work on them. Peeling
at best is costly operation and should
never be tried except with large fruit,
as it will not pay at all on small fruit.
If fruit is not pretty uniform in size it
will pay to grade it both for conven-
fence in drying and looks when ready
to sell. Peeling sacrifices so much of
the weight $50 per cent? that much
higher prices will alone Justify it.

San Jose Scale.

The decrease in the number of San
Jose scale has been noticeable for
some years, SO that with the use of
winter washes it is easily kept under
and Is no longer a source of alarm to
orohardists, although doubtless still
the occasion of some expense, says the
S. +. Chronicle. We do not know
whether the cause of this decrease has
been investigated, although we suppose
it has, but presume that it is in lagre
measure due to the work of parasites,
which always seem to develop when
ever any organism becomes very
abundant. IL may not be generally
known that at present one of the lead
ing lines of work at some experiment
stations is the suppression of pests by
the introduction of disease. The inoc-
ulation of rabbits and squirrels with
poisonous virus is the best.known effort
of this kind, but the principle runs
through all nature and may be applied
to any organism provided that we can
discover the contagious disease to
which it is susceptible. and isolate for
propagation the bacteria OF fungi
which cause it. While the San Jose
scale has ceased to be serious menace
in this State, it is very destructive in
some of the Eastern States, where it
has been introduced. and where the
winter washes which kept them down
here do not seem to succeed so we'll,
perhaps because the scale is still
healthy in its new environment. Pro-
lessor P. II. Rolls of the Florida Ex-
pertinent Station has been studying the
San Jose scale there and has found
that it is dying from the effect of
fungus, native of that State, and
easily obtainable, and he and others
have met with success in cleaning the
trees by planting the fungus on them.
1t is not likely that any disease will
be perfect cure, as some individuals
will always survive, many of them,
doubtless, weakened by illness, which
is yet not fatal Under such condi.
tions the lime, salt and sulphur mix
ture may be found to do as good work
at the East as it does here.

TOO MUCH TARIFF T1NknRING.

1
All business is waiting the outcome
of the tariff. Not until that confer
ence report is submitted, passed upon
in the Senate and in the House and
agreed to and signed by the president
will there be any disposition on the
part of the country TO cut loose from
the old free trade apron strings and
make sail on the sea of protection.
There has been enough disturbance to
trade, enough business lost to the
country, enough shrinkage in values
enough increase of public debt as the
result of that Wilson-Gorman free
trade Democratic blunder to satisfy
the country for quarter of century:
No man who intelligently traces causes
to their source through their effects,
can doubt that this eternal tinkering
with the tariff is at the bottom of much
of our financial and industrial distress.
And yet there is nothing for it but to
change when the conditions of the
country so imperatively demand it as
they do now. 1t was different when
the Mckinley tariff law was thrust
aside. There was no increase of debt
under the operation of that law. Rev
enue was more than sufficient to salts
fy the needs of the government, manu-
factures were constantly increasing,
especially in the south, wages were
better under it's operations than they
have been since, and there was no rea-
son but party prejudice that operated
to make the change. Under the Will
son-Gorman bill all this was reversed.
Debt accumulated rapidly, manufac-
tories closed their doors, wool growing
was killed, the doors We're thrown
wide to foreign products and our own
home productions forced out of the
market. The country was going rapid
ly down hill, and this present move
ment was too imperative to be DELAY
ed. When it is made there is no doubt
that the country will slowly recover
from its stagnation and retrogression,
What is needed is some regulation.
some constitutional provision that will
not permit change in the tariff Of
tener than the Federal census is taken.
This will accomplish two things. 1t
VIII give any tariff system that may
possibly be adopted full time to dem
onstrate, its workings, for good or i'll.
III for i'll, then the lesson will not have
to be repeated and that tariff system
will be dead. If for good, then the
satisfaction of the people with it will
insure its perpetuation. The operation
Of bad tariff law for ten years would
be hard, but the cure once it was eff
fected would be lasting one. and in
any event 1t would not be much worse
than readjusting the whole movement
of revenue levy and collection every
three or four years.
