STRAWBERRY BEDS.
~ for u Number of Years
Without RcsettiMS.

1t is not necessary to set new
strawberry bed every two years where
only enough are grown to supply the
wants of the family. We know of a
little strawberry patch that has been
going at least ten years without having
been reset i'll all that time. The owner
of this bed renews it every year after
plan of his own that has worked sue
cessfully After the berries are picked
each year he takes a single shovel pillow
and plows right through the rows of
plants, tearing them out without heed.
This tears out most OF the old plants
and leaves the runners that have grown
Mt the outer edge of the rows still in
the ground. Then the patch is gwen
a good narrowing, and by this time
good many more plants are torn out.
The patch is then raked over and made
smooth and the plants that remain are
thinned out to foot apart and left in
rows between where the old rows stood.
Finally good dressing of rotted
manure from the barnyard is spread
over the patch and it is kept clean dur
ing the season. BY the time winter
comes there is a lot of vigorous new
plants in the patch and the crop OF
the next year is as good as it would
have been if new plants had been set
in by slow and laborious hand work.

spEcKs IN BUTTER.
Most Cases, Faulty Working and
Setting In the Rest.

The cause of specis or notifies in
butter is not always ar easy matter to
find out, for there are several things
which may be held accountable for it.
Everyone knows notified butter when
they see it, for it contains light spots
and streaks. Carelessness on the part
of the butter maker is the cause in nine
out Of ten cases, but even the most care
full person will sometimes get batch
of streaky goods. Probably the major
ity of cases can be traced to the manner
of sailing and working. If coarse
kind of salt is used it does not dissolve
rapidly and eventually brings out the
color more deeply in spots, for it is
well known that salt deepens the color
in butter. Likewise poor quality of
salt containing lime will bring out the
color unevenly. Failure to work the
butter enough leaves the salt unevenly
distributed. 1t is a good plan to work
butter twice, letting it stand for two
hours or so after the first working
Notified butter is often caused by fail
ure to maintain Il uniform temperature,
either of the cream before churning, or
of the butter afterward while sailing
and working it. If part of the butter
gets too hard or too dry it will not DIS
solve as much salt as the rest of it..
If some of the butter globules in the
cream are heated too much above or
cooled too far below the rest they will
not take color and salt uniformly with
the others. Poor butter color will also
cause it, as well as improper handling
of the milk or ripening of the cream.
1t would seem, therefore, that the way
to avoid ,streaky butter is to follow
carefully the most approved methods
of handling the milk and cream, to
keep as uniform a temperature as pos
sible in ripening the cream, to use the
best kinds of butter color and salt. and
finally to thoroughly work the butter
or better still to rework it before maxi
ing up. But above all these rules must
be placed experience and knowledge.

wedding Rye from Wheat.

The wheat-growing farmer dIs''Kes
much to cultivate rye because wherever
grown on the same farm some of the
rye will find it's way through straw or
manure to the fields where the wheat is
grown. 1t is not difficult matter to
separate the two grains as they grow in
the field together. The rye heads out
several days earlier than the wheat, and
it spires up foot or more higher, maxi
ing it very conspicuous. 1t is an easy
matter to go through the field with a
pair of shears and clip off all the rye
heads, cutting down low enough to
reach those that are behind in growth
Wheat that is free from rye is worth
several cents more per bushel, and, OF
course, wheat free from rye should al
WAYS be used for seed.

The Sailing of Butter.

Butter taken from the churn in gran
ular form will take the salt more even
ly than if gathered into lump, besides
which the milk can be more thoroughly
separated. Tastes differ as to the
amount of salt, but this is not essential
to the keeping qualities of butter; any
where from one-half ounce or more will
keep it if the milk is out of it. For lay
ing down a stone jar is as good as any
thing; press the layer down as solid as
possible, then sprinkle handful of
salt over to keep the next layer from
sticking. A cloth may be put between
the layers, out it is not essential.

THE BERRY BUSHES.
Next Years Crop Is Dete rmined b.
This Years VigOr and Growth
of the Plants.

After the fruit has been harvested
and during the rest of the summer is
the best time to give the raspberries
necessary pruning. One of the first
things to do is to cut out all of the old
canes. 1t is this years growth of cane
that bears the fruit next year, and it is
quite an item to secure vigorous,
thrifty growth. by cutting out the old
canes more room is given, and the new
canes can make a better growth. At
the same time that the oil canes are
taken out, all Of the small, weak or I'M
thrifty canes should be taken out.
Three or four strong, vigorous canes
two or three times that number of
small and weak canes. All canes not
wanted should be treated as weeds and
managed accordingly. There is no adj
vantage in allowing the canes that are
left to grow too long. If the strength
of the root can be thrown into one-haIf
the length secured of cane better
quality of frui: may be secured. The
rich shoots may be treated in the same
way.
Four feet is as high as either rasp-
berries or blackberries should be al
lowed to grow, and many good growers
keep them pinched back to three feet.
Thorough cultivation will help mate
rally in securing better and more
vigorous growth.
It should be remembered with all
fruits that very largely next years
crop of fruit is determined by this
years vigor and growth of the plant,
and it will pay to take considerable
pains to secure strong, vigorous
growth.-N. J. Shepherd, in Farmers
Voice.

u,uh.Grnde Farm Butter.

Better butter can be made on the
farm than at the creamery il the same
care is given. The managers OF cream
cries secure the best assistants to be
had, and they aim to put good butter on
the market. The advantage possessed
by the farmer who makes dairy butter
is that he can feed his cows on the best
foods, use more care and work with
cleaner surroundings. A large proper
ton of creamery butter is not uniform
as the milk comes from many sources
but dairy butter is injured in the
churning and manipulation of the
product by inexperienced persons.
