1t is stated in last weeks Teller
that the announcement Of the candi-
dacy of Geo. w. Ryland for congress
made in that paper two weeks before
was fake, not made in good faith,
but published for the purpose of de-
ception. The abasement of the editor
in making the humiliating admission
indicates that the riot act has been
read or martial law proclaimed by
some of the commanders.

The practical part OF cream ripening
is this: Keep your vessel so that it may
all ripen evenly and thus avoid loss in
chuEning. Raise the temperature TO 90
or 6S degrees and keep it as near that
temperature as possible until ripe, and
then cool before churning. Well ripened
cream should be Coagulated or thicken-
I'd. It should run from height in a
smooth stream, like oil. When q pad
die 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 off the
paddle back into the vat, they should
leave little dints or depressions on the
surface, which do not close up for an
instant. The cream should have satin
gloss or fresh surface. Ohurn until the
granules are the size Of wheat kernels;
then draw off the buttermilk and wash
through two or three waters, whirling
the churn few times around. Use from
a pint to a quart Of water per pound of
butter. Have the water at tempera-
ture Of 40 to Do degrees in hot weather
and from 90 to SO degrees in winter.

How to Distinguish Old Hens.

From an article by Mr.. Edward
Brown, #. L. s., a renowned author
and authority ON poultry matters in
Great Britain, / cOndense the follow
ing: Fowls should be killed off after
they have completed their second year.
Birds may be marked so as to be easily
distinguished by putting a ring ON one
leg when they are pullets The best
time is when pullets are from to
months old. A round india rubber, such
as those used for umbrellas, or a ring
Of copper or any soft flexible metal, ia
suitable. The ring should be put on to
fit fairly close, but not tight enough to
iDjure the leg. An examination should
be made of every fowl u fortnight after
the ring has been put on. In order to
distinguish between the fowls and q
years old it is q good plan TO put the
rings on the left legs only in one year
and the rings on the right legs only
next year, and SO on in the alternate
years If the rings are put on the right
legs in 1898, then all hens in the flock
with rings on the right legs will be
ready for killing in 1900. If the rings
are put ON the left legs in the autumn
Of 1899, then those hens will be ready
for killing i'll the autumn of 1901. 1t is
desirable that written record should be
made OF the facts, as the memory is apt
to be faulty. The advantage to the
poultry keeper from marking the fowls
far more than compensates for the trou-
BILE which is involved. Canadian Com
missioner of Agriculture.

brace. Use good Georgia pine to cell
with and flooring not over three inches
in width. Make your "manholes"
small, door fashion, without hinges, and
to take out on the inside.
When the silo is completed, make
some good cement and pry up your silo,
a side at q time, and drop it back into q
good, liberal "mush" Of cement, and
then on the inside fill the angle where
the walls and ground meet with cement
and small stone out into the silo q foot
aud up on the sides, and ON the outside
cover the sill completely. Draw the
soil from the center Of the silo up on to
the cement and pound down and make
the bottom quite kettle shaped, fully
foot below the sills at the center. Do
not cement the bottom unless you fear
rats coming up from below. A clay
floor for a silo is preferable by far if
there is no danger Of surface water get
ting under.
Whenever your silo gets to decaying
on the walls, then will be time to paper
line and double cell, and then you will
have new silo. A stone foundation
adds nothing to the value Of a wooden
silo, and you cannot join wood and
stone together and make a No. / job
without more work and cost than to
run the wooden walls to the founda-
tion, and it will never be so satisfac-
tory az an sail alike" silO.

20 Build One In n Barn.
We would not put in any founda-
tion Of either brick or stone were we to
build in o barn" says John Gould in
Ohio Farmer. We have none under our
two silos, built l2 years ago. In the
barn we would make a square silo, put
the girths on round and round, spacing
a little more as they approached the top,
where they can be as much as three feet
apart, but using more toward and at
the bottom. Level the ground ON the
basement floor and put the first girths
fat on the ground, the next eight inches
above. the next a foot, spacing a little
wider each time until above the cen.

Burning Ont stumps.

The months Of August and September
are the best for the eradication Of old
stumps A correspondent Of Orange
Judd Farmer thinks there is no better
way than to burn them out by a method
which he describes as follows: A sheet
iron cylinder large enough to slip down
over the large stumps is used. This cyl
inder tapers into a cone shaped figure
the size of a stovepipe. Several joints
of stovepipe are then added to this, and
the whole apparatus is placed over the
stump. Previous to this the soil is dug
away from around the stump and fire
is kindled. Then the cylinder is added,
the smoke evolves from the pipe, and
you have a good working stove princi-
pie complete. The stump will be burned
up as completely as if it were put in a
stove manufactured for the purpose. At
this season Of the year the dryness Of
the stumps will render them in good
condition TO burn.

FLAX CULTURE.
A Splendid Outlook For the Industry. KS-
peclally In the Puget Sound Region.


A Splendid Outlook For the Industry. VS.
peclally In the Puget Sound Region.
A report of unusual value to the az
riculturists Of this country is that on
"Flax Culture For Seed and Fiber, ;"
prepared by o. r. Dodge, the special
agent in charge Of fiber investigation
for the department Of agriculture. A
widespread interest has undoubtedly
arisen Of late in regard to the possibili-
ties Of commercial flax growing in the
United States, and the present report
covers all the points ON which informa-
tion is desirable in most exhaustive,
practical and entertaining style. Mr..
Dodge also gives data Of foreign meth.
ods, the result of his personal expert
ence and studies made on the spot in
those countries Of Europe which fur.
nish the commercial supply of fax.
While these practices cannot be- strictly
followed in this country they give
knowledge essential to the establish
ment Of an American practice that may
be safely pursued From the report,
which is worthy of the attention Of
every wide awake farmer, few ex-
tracts are appended in regard to expert
ments made:
''The fact that the raw fax from one
lot Of experimentally retted Puget
sound straw gave AZ per cent Of spin
ming fiber, worth $500 per ton, is con-
elusive evidence that this country can
produce fine fax in quantity, with skill
and good management.
"The experiments in fax culture in
the state Of Washington in 1895 were
undertaken after a splendid showing
made in small experiment the pre-.
vious year. In this initial experiment
quality Of straw was produced from
American grown seed derived from a
previous years planting Of imported
seed, which was fine, long straight and
tolerably even, resembling Belgian
straw, and which gave promise, with
more careful culture, of a grade Of
straw that would compare favorably
with that grown in the famous fax re-
gion of Flanders.
"a few points were demonstrated to
which particular attention should be
drawn. In the first place it was proved
that the Puget sound region affords an
ideal climate for fax culture, for in
spite Of the many drawbacks TO the sue.
cess Of the experiment some of the straw
produced and subsequently shown by
me TO Belgian experts has been pro.
Eounced Of such superior quality as TO
be capable Of yielding scutched fax
worth 30 cents pound. The question
Of our ability, therefore, to produce
high grade fax straw in this locality is
settled beyond argument

oeived came from Oregon and Califor.
