Points in Buttermaking.

Butter making has undergone many
changes of late years in the line of wash
ing, sailing and working. Formerly it
was churned until it was one solid mass !;
it was washed once, sailed and worked.
1t was thought best to churn at temper
ature of about 81 degrees, bat gradually
the temperature has been lowered until
now it is not unusual to churn as low as
4S degrees. A low temperature has
many advantages. The loss in butter
fat will be less, the butter will need less
washing and have better body than when
churned at a higher temperature. With
proper precaution, the loss of butter fat
in churning need not be more than about
one hundredth of per cent. The loss
depends largely upon the temperature
and the evenness of ripening, If the
cream has been gathered for several
days, unless the Oldest has been held at
low temperature to prevent any par
tial ripening, or it has been thoroughly
stirred each time new cream was added,
it will not be evenly ripened and the loss
will be unduly large. Less time will be
required to churn at high temperature,
but it will be at the expense of butter
fat.-/ndiana Farmer.

Glover for Sandy Soil.

On all kinds of soil clover, when fully
grown. is benefit. Its roofs break up
the heavy clay soils and make them per.
meable to air and moisture. But on
sandy soils clover growth as often as
every two or three years is necessity,
1t is only thus that what vegetable matter
it contains can be kept from being
washed or burned away and wasted. 1t
is often difficult to get clover catch on
sandy soil. Clover needs mir eral fer
tility, both potash ard phosphate of lime.
In both these sandy soil is generally de
hcient. There is no better single ma.
nure for sandy soil than wood ashes. If
from hard wood these will also furnish
some lime and phosphate.

Practical Poultry Points.

One of the features at the poultry show
in Boston was pair of dressed light Brah-
mas that weighed 27 pounds. How
many scrub fowl would it require to
weigh that much, and how much more
corn would they eat while growing than
did the two Brahmas2
We have frequently advocated the
grading up of scrub fowl by getting a
wel-bred male to run with them, and
continuing to select the best pullets for
another cross into the same bird. And
We think nov this is an excellent plan,
but not necessarily he best one that
could be adopted. II one has the money
to expend, it takes but little more to get
breeding pen of some good breed, and
from their eggs to raise up flock that
one can be proud of. The uniformity OF
size, form and color will be but small
part of the benefit derived from having
them all alike. They can all be fed alike
and treated alike to produce like results.
No danger of having some growing too
fat upon the food that just keeps others
in good laying condition. If the hen
house is warm enough for one bird,
another will not suffer from cold. II
some of them make good chickens for
roasting or broiling, all should do so.
This is one of the little points which
reduces poultry keeping to an exact
science. The man whose hens are all of
one breed should soon learn how to care
for them, to keep them healthy and pro-
ductive, but he that has a mixed up lot
of mongrels would need to be deeply
learned in the business to know how to
obtain from each one the best results of
which il was capable

Clearing up the Barnyard

An exchange makes the following sug-
gestions in regard to clearing up the barn
yard which are good but we doubt the
economy of going to the expense of man
uring corn in the hill with barnyard ma
nure in these times of economy and
the necessity of using labor saving ma
chinery;
AFTER the great bulk Of winter made
manure is drawn from the barnyard and
spread upon the fields there always re-
mains a considerable amount of scatter
ing manure, which ifnot gathered up, is
sure to be in large part wasted. 1t
should at least be always piled in heaps,
where it will be less liable to waste than
if spread In most barnyards there are
accumulations of finely rotted manure
that have been left in previous years
1t does not pay to leave such rich manure
TO go to waste. Two or three loads of
such scrapings are easily worth dozen
from the piles of unfermented manure
Much of this old manure is rich enough
to be used as hill dressing for corn, to
be dropped in the hill with the seed
grain. 1t will make the corn come up a
dark green and more vigorous all the
season. "-IHitror and Farmer.

Profitable Poultry.

An experienced poultryman says !:
"There are breeds for all purposes sum-
mer eggs, winter eggs, broilers, roasters
and general purposes. We have had heavy
egg records with the non sitting breeds,
but the bulk of their production is in
spring and early fall. Unless under very
favorable circumstances, they are but
ordinary LAYERS during the winter Our
winter laying breeds are of the broody
class, and they give comparatively few
eggs during the warm season of the year
Much of the time is taken in incu-
batting. Then we have a class that are
better adapted for broiler raising than
for roasting purposes. On, the other hand
we have breeds that make better roasters
than brolers. Again, we have general
purpose fowls-reasonably well adapted
Tor all that one could wish for in poultry.
To become more plain, the summer
layers are the Leghorns, Minorcas, An
dalusians, Spanish, Polish. Handbags
and Houdans. The winter layers are
the Observation-Disclosures, Cochins and
Langshans and the Americans-Ply
mouth Rocks and Wyandottes. The best
for broilers are the Wyandottes or
Plymouth Rocks. The best for roasters
are the Brahmas or the Langshans. The
best general purpose fowl is the Plymouth
Rock. denver Field and Farm.

Quantity of Seeds.

In planting farm garden, it is some
times doubtful how thick to sow the seed.
Early in the season it should be sown
thicker than when the soil becomes
warm.
The following list will give an idea of
how thick seed should be sown in gar
den culture: Asparagus, bed of fifteen
square yards, one pint; Beet, row fifty
feet. two ounces Cabbage, bed OF
eight square yards, one ounce; Carrots,

Food Flavor I'm Milk.

Deerfoot Farm of which and its pro,
ducts many of our readers are more or
less familiar, excludes ensilage and al
other fermented foods from the dietary
of cows furnishing milk for their fancy
Deerfoot milk and butter products, An
experienced manipulation of milk in speak
ing of this, remarks: Proper eration of
milk will do much to ELIMINATE the en-
silage odor from milk, but those who
have had an opportunity of inhaling the
odor from a pasteurizer. through which
ensilage milk is being run, even after
thorough aration, will find plenty of
evidence of ensilage odor still remaining.
1t is generally conceded by ordinary
dairymen that moderate feeding on en-
silage does not favor the product of the
COW. Yet in this case it is seen that on
condensing the odors of the milk flavor
of the acid is there. Is it not reasonable,
then, that expert judges of butter do
sometimes find the enslage flavor con,
densed into the butter product?

Common Ignorance of English.

The student completes his early TAIN
ing with as little knowledge of the history
of his speech as he would have il 1t were
Greek, says Professor Mark II. Liddell
in the April Atlantic. Indeed, he often
knows more about Greek than he does
about English, so that later on in
his educational career. when he becomes
a special student of English and makes
some attempt to read it in its earlier form,
he fails to grasp the significance of its
commonest phenomena, because he will
look at them through the blue spectacles
of his Hellenic culture.
The consequent Ignorance of English
that is found among the most highly edu.
Gated men is amazing. The public dis
cussons that turn on points oil "etymol
ogy,n pronunciation, or syntax rarely fail
to reveal it. Men cavil at idioms that are
as old as the language itself, and argue
with one another about questions OF
authenticated fact until "philologist" has
almost come to mean "quibbler.n
What wonder that the ignorance is so
widespread, when so little interest is
taken in the scientific study of the sub
ject? We have now associations for the
furtherance of almost every doctrine OF
endeavor conceivable: the collection of
postage stamps has its society, the prop
agation of esoteric Buddhism has its
band of enthusiasts. the study of Brown
ing's poetry has its cults, and hundreds
of other objects and aims, trivial or seri-
Gus, are thrust upon the notice of the
public through the organized effort of I'M
selfish propagandists. But there is no
American society or association in exist
ence whose sole object is the dissent
ration of scientific knowledge of the his
tory and structure of the language by
which all such concerted action is rem
dered possible and effective. Nor are
we better off in respect to special journ-
ais. Germany has two excellent ones
devoted solely to the scientific study OF
English; America and England have
none,

Selecting Asparagus.

In starting an asparagus plantation
much depends upon the selection Of
plants. Choose crowns with large buds
and we'll developed roots. One year
old plants are fully as good as two year
ODDS.
Asparagus plants are male and female.
The male plants which do not bear seed
are to be preferred, because all the
strength goes to the roots making
larger and earlier stalks the following
spring. 1t is asserted that a plantation
of male plants will produce a third more
than field of female plants. The stalks
from the male plants are larger and
finer and command higher price.
