has q clean, good flavor. A pint or
two of cream saved from your pre-
vious churning, or the same amount
of good butter-milk or sour skim milk
answers. The reason for adding the
starter is, that tho bacteria, which
you know produce q ne-havored but
ter, get control of the new cream be-
fore other germs which might prove
unfavorable take possession of it.
Stir well each time new cream is
added. Do not add sweet cream
shortly before churning. You will
have q great loss of butter fat If you
do.
Separator cream should be cooled
to sixty degrees in winter and to
fifty-five degrees in summer before it
is added to the cream crock.
The day before churning examine
your cream. If the Tactic acid be de-
veloping slowly, heat the cream to
sixty-ive degrees in winter and sixty
degrees in summer by placing the can
in dish OF warm water ct 100 de-
grees, and stirring constantly until
the desired temperature is reached.
In warm weather care should be taken
not to overhead the cream or it will
become too sour before churnin9
time, and too much acid is injurious to
the flavor of the butter. 1t may not
be necessary to warm the cream at oil
in summer time. Have the cream
lowered to churning temperature sew.

Sometimes in the heart of the sum-
mer you find yourself strolling about,
looking at the various plants, noting
the progress they have made, when
all at once you are startled because of
various pests which have taken pos
session of this vine or that shrub;
your vexation grows as you proceed,
examining rose bushes, and, finally,
extending your observation to the
trees on the lawn, You find that the
enemy is in full possession. The
honeysuckle vine is covered with
aphides, except on the older branches,
which are full of great fat worms that
are improving every minute, german
dizing at the expense of the vine; the
aphides have found their way into
the very unfolding buds, and the plant
will succumb unless something is
done, and that promptly.
The tender parts OF the branches
are likewise being destroyed; the elm
trees harbor caterpillar nests; the
black aphides are sight to behold
on the young cherry trees-and all
this on well-kept lawn! The rem
edy, of course, for such q situation
and dire condition of things is to pro-
cure o sprayer and rout the enemy.
I speak from experience, for last
summer these pests came unawares
and took up their abiding place on
vine and shrub, bush and tree. I
sent for sprayer, and I suppose q
great deal of cruelty to animals fol-
lowed, for tha sprayer was used fire.
quently, and The insect pests were
quite effectually cleared away.
This season the sprayer will be used
in time to prevent any Wholesale pos
session. 1t has been at work already,
in fact, according to tho old adage
that IAN ounce of prevention is orth
o pound of cure" Forewarned, one
should be forearmed; it is a good
thing to invest in q sprayer; even q
very small one Is worth great deal
in case of emergency. There is
nothing more vexatious than to find
ones choice plants being ruined by
various pests which by watchful care
and prompt action can be overcome.

Hogs in Pasture.

The opinion seems to exist among
swine raisers, who are beginning to
learn the advantages of raising bacon
hogs on the range, that this method
should apply only to hogs raised to
moderate weight. This is a mistake,
for the most expensive and least
healthful combination is dry corn
with water or slops fed in dry lot,
while the opposite result is obtained
when one-half the quantity of corn is
fed and the pigs have grass or clover
pasture. The value of corn meal for
fattening pigs is conceded, but, on
the other hand, it is poor food for
growing pigs, although Of value when
fed as directed or in the season when
green pasture is not obtainable, If fed
with wheat bran or clover hay. No
matter how low the price of corn may
be, the green food is cheaper, espe-
pecially when fed in pasture, besides
being better corrective of the sys-
tenn than the dry foods. 1t is a mat
ter of record that swine raised on corn
almost wholly are subject to diseases
of various kinds, while those pastured
and fed q half ration of corn are
strong and healthy, and are rarely at
tackled by cholera.

Peach Leaf Curl Common,

This disease has been very preva-
lent during this season. In some cases
it was quite serious, checking the de-
velopment of the trees and injuring
their vitality. The trouble is caused
by fungus which penetrates the It's
sues and causes abnormal thickenlng.
The leaves and fruit finally drop off,
new ones appear and the tree finally
regains its natural appearance. Spray
ing with bordeaux mixture and cut
ting out and burning the affected
branches is about the only means of
controlling the disease.

Care and Ripening of Cream.

. Cream should never set in open
crooks or pals in cellars, pantries, or
anywhere there are odors or where the
air is not pure. The cream crock or
can should always be covered, and in
summer it should stand in the coolest
place in the milk cellar, while in win
ter it may be brought into, room
where the temperature is from sixty
to seventy degrees. Each time, the
cream can is emptied it should be
thoroughly washed, scalded, and put
out of doors for an hour or two before
being used again.
When starting to collect cream for
fresh churning, add to your first

Tn the greenhouses and among
house plants this pest is often serious.
Where it is practicable the atmosphere
should be excessively humid, as the
mites do not work so readily in moist
mir. Squirting water upon the plants
has some effect. Spraying with soap
emulsions is also advised. Kerosene
emulsion, however, is the most eflec-
tive of all remedies and will usually
be found. the most convenient and sat

Ducks Must Battle Their Heods.

In order to maintain health duck,
young or old, must have water; either
In stream, tank or trough, deep
enough for it to immerse its head in
above the eyes. This it must have or
it will take the sore eyes and perish.
A shallow pan of water deep enough
for them to crane their heads and
necks down into, is little better than
no water at all.
Bear this in mind: A duck must
have water about its eyes daily or it
will not thrive. But if tank of sufi-
cient depth is provided for the ducks
to sink their heads into the water clear
out of sight, then they can do without
the pond or stream. When this is
not done they gum-up about the eyes,
become listless, sit about, and soon
die. Young ducks that do not have
water as above suggested drop off one
by one until the whole flock disap-
pears. Yet must say in conclusion
that to allow the young ducks to go
to the pond too early is also bad for
them.

THE PACIFIC
THE RACIAL INSTINCT.

Judge Hartwell, we believe,
does not quite seize the point we
have made regarding the racial
tendencies of the natives, or he
would not have stated that there
is danger of over-estimating these
things, and of producing a hope
less and not only hopeless, but un
founded belief in natural tenden-
cies."
We placed the native on the
same plane upon which we placed
the stronger races, and illustrat-
ed it by citing the racial antipath
les of those remarkably civilized
races, the English and the French.
Professor Shaler, in no place, stat
es that the case is ''hopelcss," but,
on the other hand distinctly stat
es that the higher men rise iii in
telligence, the more quickly are
the race instincts modified. There
fore the case cannot be hopeless.
No one asserts that the racial
instincts are irradicable. But only
education, long periods of time,
and change of environment does
it.
The race instincts of the ma
tiyes, until modified by time, will
Influence them largely, just as
they influence other races. We
have had abundant experience in
the Eastern cities, for 40 years, of
the imdomitable, irrepressible and
blind feeling of the Irish race, in
it's antipathy to Republican
government. 1t is called in a rath-
er loose way the ''raciaI" feeling.
This is the proposition we present
here, among the living political is
sues;
That in our dealings with the
native race, we shall be misled, if
we do not reckon as a factor in its
political action, those racial in
stincts which it possesses, and
which interpret its conduct in the
past.
These instincts may be modified
i'm the course of time, but the
rapid decline of the race may pre-
vent any very apparent moditica-
ton of them before the end comes.
If General Hartwell will write,
and no one can better handle the
subject, a monograph on the evO-
luton of the Hawaiian polity, he
will surely strike this race in
stinct or feeling at the beginning
of his investigation. 1t is the on
ly scientific" way of explaining
it's history.
The existence of this instinct
creates divergent lines of thought
between races. Here, it is not ne
cessary that it should be extreme
We do not use the words race
instincts" in any degrading sense
