FRESH BUTTER BEST.
Rest Quality Should BE Consumed
Within at Least Two Weeks of
Its Mnnufncture.

The best butter is not product the
quality of which is to be satisfactorily
preserved by packing or storage. The
delicate fiavors which are character
istic of the choicest gilt-eGged butter
never come out of the packing tub.
The best dairymen claim that the
finer the quality of the butter, the less
liable it is to keep well, as the very
conditions which fit it for long keep
ing rob it of the quality necessary TO
class it as gilt edged.
Fairly good results are secured by
packing properly butter of good quail
ity when first made. Butter of the
best quality should be con sumed within
two weeks of its manufacture, even
better. within one week.
While coloring butter may add ma
terially to the appearance, it can add
nothing to the quality. neither will it
disguise defects nor take out unde-
sirable additions never put in by the
COW. But the market demands good
golden color to the best of butter, and
though it may add nothing to the quail
ity. it does add to the appearance as de-
sired by the consumer. and the nearer
we can most fully meet the demands
of the market. the better the price it is
possible to realize.

cost, and during the winter, at least, it

The oldest building in the world that
has been uninterruptedly used for
church purposes is St. Martins ca

was originally erected for church,
and has been regularly used as place
for religious gatherings for more than
1,5OO years.

SETTING WAGON TIRES.
How to Do 1t Effectively and in Such
Way That They VIII Wear
for Some Time

Some farmers can set their OWE tires
on wagon wheels, which is a great con-
yanience when they are far from a
blacksmith; but they cannot always
succeed in setting them so they will
remain tight for any length of time
Have the wheels perfectly dry, as the
oil which is to be applied will not soak
into wet wood. Procure an oil heater
such as is used for this purpose, long
narrow iron vessel in which linseed oil
IS placed and heated. Bring it to the
boiling point, keeping it there, for if it
gets much hotter it will burn the feiloe
so it will not be durable. Put a stick
through the wheel so that it can be
kept turning in the hot oil for an hour;
by that time it will be well saturated
and the tire can be put in place and
will remain tight for years unless the
wheel itself wears out. The pores of
the wood being filed with oil makes the
wood ippervious to water, and it is
then much more dura BILE. 1t cannot
shrink in a dry season or swell in a
wet one.-Farm and Home.

ORCHARD MANAGEMENT.
That VIII Pay n Profit ON the
Expense Incurred.

When the character and lay of the
land will admit, very good plan of
management is to keep in cultivation
during the first four or five years aft
er setting out and then, after the trees
begin to bear well and are reasonably
well established, tc seed down to
clover. On account of the benefit to
the soil in various ways, it will pay to
use clover in seeding down in prefer
ence to grass.
But before seeding down good
drainage should be provided, as trees
cannot be kept healthy if water is al
lowed to stand around the roots.
a very good plan is to throw the
dirt to the trees, making the burrows
in the middle between the trees, Care
should be taken in running out the
burrows to avoid washing. Then the
soil can be prepared in good tilth, har-
rowing and dragging in order to Sc
cure a smooth surface, before sowing
the seed. a little care in properly
preparing the ground before seeding
viii aid materially in securing better
results.
Unless heavy applications OF manure
are given the average farm soil cannot
grow other crops and crop of fruit
at the same time, and while cultiva-
ton is beneficial while the trees are
growing, whenever they commence to
bear they should have the soil to them
selves. The growing of clover can be
made beneficial to the soil rather than
detrimental, hence it is a good plal to
SOW clover and either use hog ras-
ture or allow it to grow, mature and
fall down and rot on the land. A good
growth of clover will keep down the
weeds and add to the fertility of the
soil.
Early in the spring is good time to
sew clover, and if the orchard is TO be
seeded down it will pay to arrange so
as to do the work in good season.-N.

Now is a good time to manure rasp-
berries.
A difference in soil makes 1;$f' y
ence in the fruit.
Fine, rich compost makes the best
fertilizer for flowers.
Currants and gooseberries should be
pruned once year.
If mildew appears on the rose bushes
dust them with sulphur.
All root trees transplant much bet
ter when small than large.
Trim and clean up the orchard. gath
er up the brush end burn it.
Poultry for the plum trees and swine
for the apple orchard is good COM
bination.
Plant life cannot be sustained with
out proper food any more than AMI
NAL life can.
An ounce of nitrate of soda dissolved
in four gallons of water is an excel
lent food for bulbs.
Too large and too thick heads on
fruit trees should always be avoided
by proper pruning.
Begonias for winter should have
liberal watering, with plenty of light,
and not be too crowded.
More skill is required in the market
ing of fruit than with almost any
other kind of farm products.
With nearly or quite all vegetables
it is detrimental to their quality to
wash them long before using.
The habit of growth should largely
determine the distance apart to plant
trees when planning the orchard.
One of the best ways of getting rid
of ants is to dust their hills freely and
frequently with lime or wood ashes.
In pruning avoid the extremes of
too compact or too open heads. Let
the top shade the trunk, yet let in air
and light.
In setting out trees or plants, 1T is
rarely best to shorten the roots. Sim
ply cut off any that may in any way
be injured.
Walnut, hickory, pecan and other
nutbearing trees make excellent
shade trees along the roadsides AM in
the pastures.

RACK FOR FEEDING CORN FODDER
will retain the stalks, allowing the cat
tie to strip off the leaves, corn and ten
der, eatable portions. The uneaten
portion can be cleaned out before fill
ing anew, and the useless stalks piled
up for hauling away or mixed with the
accumulating manure heap, where the
refuse of barn and stable is piled before
being hauled to the fields.
The rack is to be built against the
fence, so that the filling can be done
from the outside, the outside of the
manger at a being only high enough
to retain the fodder. The frame of the
rack should be made OF 2X4s. The rack
b should be made of four-inch fencing
lumber, the Stats about four inches
apart. The outside rack, C, should be
set out far enough so the cattle can
easily reach down inside to pick up the
chaff. To guard against any waste
here, it is well to have the bottom e,
foored, and the floor surrounded by
six-inch board. The rack can be
T1ade any length, according to the

POPULAR SODA FOUNTAIN.
1t Does a Rushing Business I'm ALI
Weathers and at All Seasons
Variety of Its Drinks.

"One of the interesting developments
of the last 25 years has been that of the
soda fountain" says a man who has
been familiar with the course of the
business. Root beer was the first pop
ular beverage, and different people
made it from different formulas, and
some had very good receipts. Then
there was sarsaparilla-both sold in
the bottle mostly. Then they began
to get small fountains, with lemon and
vanilla sirups. Following these came
the fruit tsirups-pineapple, raspberry,
and then the coffee and chocolate Sc
rieS.
''As the list began to increase, the
original fountains, which had only one
section with four sirups, were enlarged,
and now there are six and eight sec
tions. with u sirups in a section. The
combination of sirups followed--alm-
mond, lemon. apricot, peach and ma
pie creams and the various adjuncts
now to be had at soda fountain
grape juice, clam bouillon, hot beef tea,
Russian tea, egg phosphate, calisaya
and cocoa wine.
About Is years ago the business of
serving soda hot began, and hot drinks
can now be had throughout the cold
months. 1t is undoubtedly very good
for people, warns them up, and helps
them to resist the cold, especially if
they take something that is nourish-
ing, Ike bouillon or hot clam broth.
The use of all these things has tend
ency to promote temperance, for they
are good, easy to get, and take the place
of other things.
Soda fountains are so largely patron
lied now that large one in a good
neiohborhood will bring in from $3.50
to $3.50 day. There is a big increase of
business in the large establishments.
because small stores cannot afford to
use the fruit sirups. The essences are
injurious, and people do not like soda
in which they are to be found.
''There is a big list of them, about as
large as it will be, for there is more of
tendency to reduce than to enlarge
it. There are people who take to some
extent all these different things, fiavors
and varie ties. or they would not be kept
on hand, but if many of them were not
to be had they would take something
else as willingly, and it is easier to serve
fewer varieties.
There are certain staples. things
that are chiefly in demand. Chocolate.
coffee, vanilla and orange phosphate
are always standards in cold beverages,
and chocolate is one of the most popu-
lar throughout the year.
1T takes expert men to wait at large
soda fountain. 1t takes man about
year to become an expert, and then he
can set glass of soda before a custom
er in less than five seconds from the
time it is ordered and do it with neat
ness as well as dispatch. Quick men
are required when people are standing
three deep before the fountain.
1T is something like learning the
typewriter. The man at the soda foun-
tain must know where every sirup is 20
be found without having to stop to look.
Tie sirups are arranged in about the
same order usually, so that when he
knows one fountain he knows them all"

1t PAYS to Have Variety.

In order to have apples from early
summer until late spring large va
riety of trees should be planted. y few
trees of every variety suited to the
section of the country should be set,
provided. of course, the orchard is to
be at all extensive. And this does not
apply to apples only, but to all kinds
of fruit which farmers should have
fresh during the entire year in their sea-
son. This arrangement is for the con-
venience ard special advantage of the
family, and does not hinder the plant
