The Boiled Butter business.

One of the worst and most insidious
enemies of good cream butter is
process or boiled" butter. When but
ter becomes so bad and rancid as to be
absolutely worthless for any purpose,
it is melted to its original oil, treated
with alkaloids, freed from volatile oil,
re-crystalized, and then churned with
sour milk to freshen it. This produces
thoroughly renovated and it is
claimed wholesome butter with good
body which will easily show a butter
fat content of so per cent. From
standpoint too of chemical analysis, il
cannot oe considered adulterated no1
an imitation. The only protection the
producers of good fresh butter have is
TO insist that this manufactured prod
uct shall be sold as renovated or boiled

THE SPARROW HAWK.
Investigation Proves That the Fnrm-
er Has No Better Friend Than
This Persecuted Bird.

In many sections the sparrow hawk
is recognized as a true friend OF the
farmer, though in others it is included
in the general warfare waged by farm
ers and sportsmen against hawks OF
all descriptions. The value of the spar
row hawk lies in his habit of feeding
on small rodents. He is a rapacious
bird, and destroys great numbers OF
these farm pests; also grasshoppers.
Farmers are slow to appreciate the
value of birds of prey. If one young
chicken is devoured by hawk year,
the whole race is condemned and no
account taken of the 500 mice and
young rats he may eat during that
period. Mr.. w. b. Hall, of Wakeman,
O., was county clerk while the Ohio
hawk law was in force, and he issued 46
bounty certificates for sparrow hawks.
He examined their stomachs and found
them all to contain the remains of
grasshoppers, beetles and meadow
mice; not one held any signs of chick
ems. The Investigations of the depart
ment of agriculture are more con-
elusive yet, showing hundreds of mice
against every chicken.

FRESH DAIRY NOTES.

When milk is to be taken to the
creamery do not mix the milk of the
night and the morning even if it will
save the use of one can.
The milk COW must be kept clean;
the mixers must be clean at milking
time: and the vessels in which the milk
is put must be clean at all times.
Do not aerate the milk in the stable
or in the lee of the stable. The air
in which the milk is aerated must be
pure, else the milk in being aerated
will suffer more harm than the sera-
ton will do good.
Milk for the creamery must be milk
in its proper condition. The farmer
that has permitted his milk to get into
bad shape had better feed it to his
hogs or poultry than attempt to haul
it to the creamery where it will be
likely to spoil a hundred other batches
of milk.-Farmers' Review.

ROADS NEED REPAIRS.
That They should lie Made
Whenever Necessary.

AS the state is preparing to spend
nearly 100000 year for road improve
ments, including the salary and ex-
penses of the commissioner and dep
uties, it is not only fit but absolutely
necessary that provision should be
made for keeping the roads so inn
proved in good condition. Experience
shows that many towns will not do this.
From carelessness or parsimony they
allow what has been made good road
to deteriorate from the moment the
original work was completed, and
nothing deteriorates much more
promptly than neglected highway.
If the state has paid half or two-thirds
the cost of the improvements il has am
pie ground for requiring that the tawns
it has aided shall use proper diligence
to retain and continue the benefits of
the states contribution. In this sense
the clause in this years bill which di-
rects the commissioner to see that
proper repairs are made from time to
time is the most important feature in
it. 1t is founded in both justice and
economy.
That the danger of neglect is no idle
fancy is known to all who have looked
into the results of road-building in
Connecticut thus far. but it is oppor-
tune to quote n few lines from the An
sonia Sentinel on the subject because
that excellent paper illustrates the po-
sition from the experience of its own
bailiwick. 1t says: This will compel
the repairing of the roads which, owing
to neglect and inefficiency, are fast be-
coming worthless, such as the road
in Ansonia and Derby, laid two or more
years ago"
Towns Will have to remember that it
is one thing to build roads because they
can have half or two-thirds or three
quarters of the cost paid by the state,
and quite another thing to undertake
the responsibility of creating and
maintaining good roads. The former
phrase has described the situation
thus far Towns have been urged to
vote roads so as to get their share of
the state appropriation" They could
buy a road for half price or less, and so
they were ready to do it. But every
road builder knows that money so
spent is wasted unless contin-
ual annual outlay follows it. You
might as well buy a steam en-
gine and try to run it without
constant care as to build a good
road and leave it alone. Under the
old system some roads have been built
which would not have been touched if
the condition for proper maintenance
had accompanied the appropriation,
No community which will not keep up
its roads after it gets them cares
enough about good roads to be helped
in obtaining them.-Hartford Times.

COOKING VEGETABLES
A Few Rules whose Observance VIII
Add Materially to the Pleas
ures of the Table.

It is a well-known fact that beans,
lentils and split peas do not boil soft in
hard water. The sulphate of gypsum,
the salts of lime, coagulate the caseln
which these seeds contain. In some
cases, however, the solvent power OF
pure soft water is so great that 1t de-
stroys the firmness, color and skin OF
green vegetables and allows their juices
to be extracted in the process of boiling.
1t is especially true of beans and green
peas. Therefore, hard water, instead
of soft, should be employed in these
cases. A tablespoonful of salt added to
a gallon of soft water hardens it imme-
diately. Eminent French authorities
say use one tablespoon of carbonate OF
ammonia for producing the same re-
suits.
If green vegetables are wilted, soak
them for more than an hour in pure
cold water.
String beans usually need to boil for
As minutes. The addition of a small bit
of salt pork will generally minimize any
rank flavor and will improve them.
When done, drain thoroughly, season
with salt, pepper and butter.
Turnips, carrots, cabbage and onions
should be boiled in great deal of wa
ter and taken up Immediately and
drained when sufficiently done; over
cooking destroys the taste, and too lit
tie water will allow them to turn dark
in color.
New potatoes are the best baked.
very little s. gar added to tomatoes,
squash, peas. >rn, beets and turnips
will improv tnem.
Turnips will cook more quickly when
cut into thin slices otherwise they
will need to cook a long time.
Caulifower should be tied in net to
prevent boiling to pieces.
Summer squash should be steamed
and not boiled.
Put a piece of bread the size of an
egg into a cheesecloth bag and drop
into a pot of boiling greens to absorb
the odor.
A little pinch of cayenne dropped into
boiling cabbage, green beans, onions,
etc, will lessen the disagreeable odor.
All dried leguminous vegetables,
such as dried beans, peas, etc, should
be put on in cold water, and when they
reach the boiling point should be al
lowed to simmer until done.-Phila-
delphia Press.

STORY WITH A LESSON.
How n Tramp's PO1iteness Was
Awakened by the Sight of
Model Creamery.

] will relate an amusing incident l
saw happen in creamery | visited a
short time ago, writes G. b. Lawson in
Creamery Journal. The creamery was
as clean and neat as any could be.
There was not a speck of dirt on the
floor or about any of the machinery.
The door opened and a tramp came
in with muddy boots on. 1t was rainy
at the time. He made one step on the
inside and stopped, as soon as he saw
the condition of the room, looked at
his muddy feet, took off his hat and
apologized for coming in in such
hurry with so much mud on his feet
If that creamery had been dirty and
grimy, as some are, that tramp would
not have stopped at the door and apol-
ogized, but would have gone in and
gotten the buttermilk he wanted with.
out looking at his feet. Brother But.
termaker, do you keep your creamery
so clean that a tramp will stop at the
door, take off his hat and offer an
apology for coming in? If not, try
it and see what difference it will have
on the looks of the place, and also on
the quality of the product made.

ODD WEDDING RULES.
Customs That Prevail
at Marriages in Norway, sweden
and Siberia.

Every country has its own particular
regulations and ceremonies regarding
matrimony. Wedding presents in Nor
way are not of the expensive but useless
kind that they are with us. They con-
sst of such things as pots and pans,
plates and dishes. a feather bed, half a
dozen sheep, a sack of potatoes, and so
forth. Sir G. w. Dasent says that the
Norwegians, in reference to marriage,
as to other matters, put their best 1oot
foremost and try to make the most of
things generally. A lad went out to
WOO a wife. Among other places he
came to a farmhouse, where the peo-
pie were very poor, but they wanted
to make him think that they were we'll
to-do. Now, the father had got new
arm to his coat. pray, take seat,
he said to the wooer, but there's
shocking dust in the house So he
went about wiping all the benches and
tables with his new coat sleeve: bu:
he kept the other behind his back. The
wife had one shoe much better than the
other and she went stamping and slid
ing with it up against the stools and
chairs, saying: How untidy it is here;
everything is out of its place." Then
they called out their daughter to come
and put things to rights, but she had
got a new cap, so she put her head
in at the door and kept nodding and
nodding, first to this side and then to
that. Well for my part" she said, Il
can't be everywhere at once" In this
way the wooer was led to believe that
he had come to a well-to-do household.
| Many superstitions prevail in Sweden
with regard to marriage. 1t is said that
! if a girl be fond of cats she will not
! be an old maid, as we should say, but
have a bright day for her wedding. The
| Swedish bride sometimes wears coro-
net of myrtle, or, when that Is not
procurable, of colored paper. Here, as
| in Norway and other countries of north
ern Europe. there is too much eating
and far too r9uch drinking at weddings.
In Sweden the repasts on these occa-
sions continue for hours. When asked
TO take your place at the table it is
considered polite to make as stout a
resistance as possible. During the re-
past Il collection is made for the bride
and sometimes also for the poor of the
parish. In Siberia there is a good Gus
tom that a bride on coming to her hus-
bands house has to give a dinner pre-
pared with her own hands as test OF
/ the education she has received. If she
succeeds in gratifying her guests it is
taken as proof, not only of the young
womans own excellence, but also as a
recommendation of her whole family,
by whom she was instructed so use
fully.

Crescent CurcuIio Mark.

Wherever a fruit is stung by the
curculio a crescent-shaped mark is left
that gradually deadens the portion OF
fruit inclosed, so that the sap will not
flow so freely. This deadening of the
fruit will extend to the stem and loosen
its hold. Inside this crescent mark the
curculio egg will be found. 1t used to
be supposed that the curculio could not
lay its eggs without making this mark.
1t does not at least, but the two opera.
tions are entirely separate. Instinct
teaches the little trick" to deaden the
skin in order to stop the flow of juices
which might flood and destroy the egg
she is about to lay. This deadening OF
the skin causes the fruit to ripen pre-
1aaturely, so that when the egg matches
the worm has ripeped instead of green
fruit to feed upon.

Germs in the FOre-MfIL.

With regard to the number of germs
present in the fore-milll, Prof. Harrison
found that in the first few strains of
milk removed from the teats they
varied from $4,000 to $4,000 per cubic
centimetcr; while the numbers present
in the remainder of the milk amounted
to only from $50 to 1880 per cubic
centimeter. These figures clearly
demonstrate how important it is that
the first few drops of milk from each
teat should be mil<ed into a separate
receptacle and subsequently thrown
away, and should on no account be
mixed with the bulk of the milk.
