tanning about half the usual proportion
OF salt.
Salt Is a preservative, and the ordi-
nary butter of commerce keeps much
longer than sweet butter, which must
be used when fresh Sweet butter is
mainly New York State butter, but in
winter some Is brought from further
West. A great deal Of sweet butter Is
brought to the city by express, which
adds to the cost of 1t, and the butter
makers charge a little more for 1t, be-
cause 1t Is all butter and no salt. Sweet
butter costs at wholesale commonly o
cent a pound more than salted butter,
and sometimes or cents q pound
more. 1t Is of lighter color than most
salted buffers, and when fresh and
sweet Is Of an agreeable fragrance.
The ordinary commercial package Of
unsalted butter contains go pounds. He
brew jobbers buy such packages Of the
wholesale commission houses and break
them up into ten-pound packages for
sale to grocers and small dealers. In
this way the butter is widely dispersed
and quickly disposed of. Unsalted but
ter can be kept for days in perfectly
good condition, II properly cared for.
II not sold, it is put into freeze, or
cold storage warehouse, in which 1t is
frozen. There 1t may be kept in per-
feet order for months, but when once
taken out of the freezer, it must be sold
promptly.-New York Sun.

Numerous powders are used for the
destruction of lice on poultry, and while
many of them are valuable, 1t Is un-
fortunate that the majority are worth
less simply because they cannot be OBJ
tanned in a fresh condition. This Is the
case with powders which are largely
used for insects ON poultry and plants
under glass. Bought of wholesale for
lists they may be had reasonably fresh
but are too costly for extensive use on
poultry. The best insect powders, and
especially for use against lice, are those
which contain tobacco dust. This acts
as poison, where other powders sim
ply kill by clogging the breathing ap-
paratus Of the insect.
It should be remembered that insect
powder Of any kind is Of no great value
unless the work of applying 1t is thor
oughly done and as frequently as two
or three times week. Catch the bird
hold it by the legs head down over a
box or cloth to catch the surplus pow
der, and work the powder with the
hand thoroughly among the feathers
and down to the skin. This work per-
formed faithfully will soon rid the fowls
of lice.

The Columbian Raspberry

Fruit growers who are seeking a good
market raspberry will do we'll to try at
least few plants of Columbian. 1t has
been tested in all the berry-grOwing Sec
tions by the experiment stations and
by competent fruit growers, who say 1t
has come to stay. The variety is an ac-
cidental Seeding Of the Cuthbert, that
rare old standby among the reds, and
Is supposed to have a touch OF Gregg
blood in it, as 1t was found growing
near a plantation Of the latter variety.
The plant is vigorous grower, with
large, handsome and healthy foliage
that does not burn under the summer
sun. The root growth Is strong but the
plant does not sucker, and Is readily
prOpagated from tips. The plant Is also
hardy, having stood the test of 2O0 be-
low Zero
The fruit is very large and somewhat
conical in shape, color dark red, and the
berry adheres firmly to the stem. The
flavor is peculiar to itself, making the
berry rich, sweet, delicious table va
riety. The fruiting season is medium,
and the berries retain their size to the
end Of the season The variety Is won
derfully prolific, yet the fruit is firm
and never crumbles in handling or ship
ping. It's good points are so many that
1t may be said to be equally valuable for
home table use, for long distance ship
ping and for canning and preserving.

SchmlercASe.

Schmiercase Is the German name for
what Is known in English as cottage
cheese and likewise not cheese. It got
the last name because the sour milk to
make 1t used to be heated In @ pot
swung over crane in the good old
times. In brief, it is the soft curd
cheese made from sour skim-milk. It Is
found in stores where dairy products
are sold, and Is very good indeed when
made right, and when 1t has rich new
milk and some sweet cream stirred into
1t. 1t Is a most healthful dish, too, and
very good for hot weather, but 1t is not
fit to eat when made from bitter, moldy
old milk.
A great deal depends on how large
scale you intend making 1t and how you
go about 1t, but beginner had better
commenced on a small quantity, so |
will give the recipe for making 1t on
small scale. Take a ten-gallon can OF
skimmilk, and let 1t set until 1t gets
thick and sour. After 1t reaches that
state set the can In tank Of hot water,
turn on your steam and let the water
heat until the milk in the can separates

the temperature the milk will whey OF
the softer and better will be the curd,
and the better you heat your milk the
drier your cUrd will be. After the curd
and water have separated strain all
through cheese bandage and hang up
for twenty-fOur hours to drain, but do
not press it any. After 1t has drained
dry, moisten it with new milk or sweet
cream, so that it will stick together,
when it is ready to mold into bricks or
press into balls and be marketed. OF
course, you can scald the milk in larger
quantities IL necessary and strain
through a large strainer, but l have
found that the cheese bandage makes
the most convenient stralner, as 1t is
easily handled and always ready for use

rllxed Feed for Hogs.

The Dairy Commissioner of the Do
minion Of Canada says:

be obtained from using such grains Ca

or a mixture Of peas, corn and bran)
ground very fine, and soaked for not
less than thirty hours before they are
fed. think hogs should be kept 80 as
to permit, and even to cause, them to
take great deal Of exercise until after
they weigh more than 100 pounds each.
In the growing of young pigs it is i'm
portant that they should receive a daily
allowance Of skim-milk for six weeks
or two months after they are weaned.
Slkim-milk is the great flesh-forming or
muscle and bOne-forming food and If
the young pigs are stunted in these re-
CARDS at that time they cannot be de-
veloped into the best class of hogs, no
matter what breed they may be Of In
my judgment 1t is highly important that
the quality of Canadian hogs, in regard
to proportion Of lean flesh and firmness,
should be maintained and improved, II
the best customers for hog products are
to be secured and retained"

Fruit growers in all parts OF the
country south OF Lake Erie and in ia
vored sections north OF that degree Of
latitude are fast learning that with u
proper understanding Of It's require
ments, the peach may be probably
grown. For sOdl sandy loan Is prefer
able for most varieties, though some
sorts, like the Crawfords, will do we'll
in clay loan. The foundation Of sue
cessful peach culture lies in the thor
ough preparation Of the soil. The plow-
ing should be deep and thorough, and
subsoillng should also be done IL there
Is hard ground near the surface. The
distance apart the trees should be set
will depend on the varieties and the
location. In the peach districts of the
South the trees are usually set thirteen
to fourteen feet apart each way, while
many Of the best orchards in the North
are set with the trees twenty feet apart
each way.
Small trees are best, and when a large
number are to be set, trees O foot and
half to two feet high Is the best size to
plant.
In setting trees, do not plant the va
rieties in blocks by themselves, for while
this plan would be a convenience when
the trees fruited, other sorts should be
mixed in to obtain the proper fertihza-
tion Of the blossoms. The fruit should
be properly thinned, removing the i'm
perfect fruit first. In pruning, the sur
plus buds may be rubbed or with the
hand the first year. The next year In
the spring-never in the fall-cut back
about One-fOurth or one-third OF the
growth IL the growth has been abundant.
The next year cut the new growth to
twelve inches and keep this pruning up
until the trees begin to bear. This cut
ting back will cause trees to branch low
and make limbs stocky and strong and
they will not be so apt to split and break
down.

Plucklng Live Geese.

An English society for the prevention
Of cruelty to animals recently prose-
Cuted a man for plucking the feathers
from live geese. They told him that it
was cruel, but the defendant explained
that unless feathers were picked while
the birds were alive they would drop out
and be lost; moreover, he asserted that
geese fattened after plucking were found
more fit for human food. The magis-
trate took this view of the matter and
dismissed the case. A London paper ex-
presses great surprise that the practice
OF plucking live geese still exists in that
country which shows that it knows lit
tie about this branch Of the poultry
business. 1t is little curious that with
all the anti-Cruelty, anti-vivisectlon and
bird protection societies in this country
1t has remained for an English organi-
cation to first advocate the cause Of
that noble fowl the goose although it
Is found in every farm-yard with it's
breast denuded Of feathers at stated per-
iOds. It is true htat the Unconditional
farmer declares that when the feathers
are ripe" their removal is not a pain
full or injurious process, but as the tes-
timony is naturally One-sided, it would
not be likely to weigh In the least with
any active and tender-hearted anti-cru-
city society. Thepainful truth seems to
be that the attention Of the societies has
been taken up by the song birds and the
birds of snowy plumage, and the welfare
OF the homely, unmusical, web-foOted,
but worthy, fowl has been neglected,
InasmuCh as little progress is being
made in the way Of protecting the song
birds, II the appearance Of womens has
is an indication, a new outlet for the
philanthropic energies may be welcome
and the goose pen show better results

UnsaIted Butter.

The consumption Of unsalted or sweet
butter in this city is increasing all the
time. A few years ago there were only
three or four commission houses that
handled 1t at all; now there are, per-
haps, dozen that do, some OF them re-
ceiving large quantities. The sale Of
unsalted butter amounts to less than I
per cent. of all. But the total daily con-
sumption Of butter here Is enormous,
and the amount Of unsalted butter sold
Is not very inconsiderable. In general
way 1t may be said that sweet butter is
eaten mostly by the very poorest people,
and by those who are very comfortably
situated. BY far the largest consumers
OF unsalted butter here are the Hebrews.
And unsalted butter Is used, or 1t may
be had, in many of the finest hotels and
restaurants. 1t has long been used in
some OF these; its increasing use In
them is perhaps due, in some degree, to
demands from foreign guests. Unsalted
butter Is far more commonly used in
Europe than here.
The butter commonly sold contains
about an ounce Of salt to the pound,
and more or less coloring matter. The
sweet butter contains no salt whatever,
and is uncolored; salt is added to suit
the taste Of the consumer. In some res
taurants there Is now used a butter con-

Use of Clover.

The use of clover and other legumes
has been strongly advised, but a word
Of warning is necessary in order that the
farmer who obtains good results from
his first experiment with clover or COW
peas or the velvety bean may not get
the idea that any or all of these legumes
are complete fertilizers. Oftentimes the
fixing in the soil of nitrogen as accom-
plished by the clover is the one thing
required by that particular portion of
land, and large crops are the result.
While analysis showg that the cow pea
is rich in potash and phosphoric acid,
1t also proves that 1t does not give
to the soil one atom more Of these min
erals than the soil gave to it in the
beginning. So some day we discover
the fact that the soil is injured by the

At the time when, in England, the pun

thought he had, overstaid his time was
seated on the top Of a stagecoach prepared
to return to his post. His mother, brother
and sweetheart vainly entreated him to
remain. The scene is depicted by locker

credit upon Teddy.
"Come down wild ye Teddy" cried his
mother. "Come down now to your old
motheri Sure it's fog ye they will and
strip the flesh off the bones of yez. Come
