FRESH BUTTER BEST.
Hest Quality should BE Consumed
Within at Least Two Weeks OF
Its Manufacture.

The best butter is not product the
quality of which is to be satisfactorily
preserved by packing or storage. The
delicate flavors which are character
istic of the choicest gilt-edged 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 we'll, 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 onsumed 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.
The coloring adds but little to the
cost, and during the winter, at least, it
will be found necessary to use ii con-
siderably.-Up-to-Date Farming.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN CUBA.
to $500 within the Last Six
weeks-Attendance 100000.

Havana, Feb. 11.--Alexis Frye, su-
perintendent of Cuban schools, in his
report to the governor general upon
the development of the school system
since the work of reorganization be-
gan six weeks ago, says that the
whole country seems on fire with en-
thusiasm for an education. The pub
lie feeling exceeds all he had ventured
to hope for. Six weeks ago there ex-
listed in the island less than 200
schools, all based on the old Spanish
foundations, with the exception of a
few that had been established more
than year before in Santiago by
Gen. Wood. There are now 2,05s
schools in the island, of which POI are
in Havana city, 152 in Matanzas city
and no in Porto Principe city.
Thus far reports have been received
from 81 municipalities. and there are
"a others to be heard from, which
will probably increase the number OF
schools by 400. The schools that have
already reported show an aggregate
attendance of more than 100000 pu
pills, and DR.. Frye believes that this
attendance will be increased to 10000
before June 1.

SETTING WAGON TIRES.
How to DO 1t Effectively and I'm Such
Way That They Will Wear
for Some Time.

Some farmers can set their own tires
on wagon wheels, which is great con-
venience 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 feloe
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 impervious to water, and it is
then much more durable. 1t cannot
shrink in a dry season or swell in a
wet one.-Farm and Home.

ORCHARD MANAGEMENT.
Seeding Down to Glover Is Practice
That Will Pay n Profit on the
Expense Incurred.

When the character and lay of the
land will admit, a 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 tlth, 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
will 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.
tion 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 good plan tc
SOW clover and either use a hog ras
ture or allow it to grow, mature and
fall down and rot on the land. A gooc
growth of clover will keep down the
weeds and add to the fertility of the
soil.
Early in the spring is good time tc
sew clover. and if the orchard is to bt
seeded down it will pay to arrange Sc
as to do the work in good season.-N

Stave SilO Is the Best,

Since the first experiments with the
stave silo in New York this style of silo
has attracted a great deal of attention
and has proved very popular in most
sections where tested. The Cornell sta
tion has recently published bulletin
on the subject, in which the author
concludes, after three years study and
observation on the subject, that the
round stave silo is the most practical
and successful silo which can be con-
structed. The original cost is very
small and no expert labor is required,
and the maximum of capacity is Sc
cured with the minimum material.
The bulletin gives detailed explana-
tion of construction.

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 we'll to have the bottom, e,
floored, and the floor surrounded by
six-inch board. The rack can be
made any length, according to the
amount of stock to be fed.-American

An ounce of nitrate of soda dissolved
in four gallons OF water is an excel

loo large and too thick heads on

by proper pruning.
Begonias for winter should have
liberal watering, with plenty of light,

More skill is required in the market

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

In setting out trees or plants, 1T is
rarely best to shorten the roots. Sim.

II Pays to Have variety.

In order to have apples from early
summer until late spring large va
riety of trees should be planted. A 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 and special advantage of the
family, and does not hinder the plant
ing of the commercial varieties as the
predominating fruts.-Farmer Voice.
