washing and working Butter.

One washing is usually sufficient.
The Danes, as a rule, do not wash their
butter, yet it generally commands the
highest price in the English market,
says an agricultural student. Butter
should not be too dry before apply

dissolving the salt as we'll as the work.
ing does; hence, less working is re-
CURED if the salt is applied at the
right time. When butter is worked
twice the result is usually more salts
factory. The first working should not
occupy more than a minute or a min
ute and half; just enough to nicely
incorporate the salt 1t should then
be loosely put in tub and placed for
three or four hours in room where
the temperature was kept from so to
SIS degs., not being cold enough to chill
and harden the butter on the outside,
as butter kept at a moderate tempera-
ture will work better at the second
working than if permitted to harden
too much. The second working should
continue until the butter becomes
waxy, or when broken apart will ap-
pear stringy, like broken iron.

Four-Horned Sheep.

While travelling through northwest
ern Pennsylvania my attention was
called to q curiosity in the line Of
sheep. It was a breed with four horns.
writes a contributor to American Sheep
Breeder
One ram had horns the total length
of which was thirteen feet. OF course
this breed will never come into favor
as a profitable breed. Too much nu-
triton is used to produce the horns,
but as a curiosity and specimen for
parks they will be sought after.
The horns vary greatly as to shape.
but the general form was two standing
straight from the top of the head and
the other two branching from just be-
low the others and in some cases max
ing a curve, while in other. instances
they extended straight out.
questioned regarding the origin Of
this breed and found they all came
from one ram left by travelling COM
pany several years ago. The company
finished the season and asked farmer
to keep their ram until spring for
them. In the spring they presented
the ram to the farmer.
He took Highland Blackface ewes
and crossed with the ram. The ram
proved very potent and as result
there is flock of twenty-five or thirty
sheep with four horns.
They have been crossed in and seem
to keep the original characteristics.
Where the first ram came from
have been unable to find out, but as
far as can learn this is the only
flock in the world.

Too Close Competition.

The Kennebec (Maine) Journal says:
1t is said to be fact that not one-half
of the factories in the state of Maine
are paying running expenses. They
are so thickly settled now that they
are competing among themselves for
the purchase of the cream and in con-
sequence there is constant fight to
see who will pay the larger price for
the cream. Then at the sale they are
competing with one another on the
price to see who will sell the cheapest.
Thus at both ends of the trade are
they cutting off their heads. 1t is seen
that in the concerns that are running
on the cooperative plan, where the
farmers have what is made after pay
ing the expenses of the factory, that
they, are receiving no more than the
ones where the farmers sell for price
outright. 1t will average about the
same in both cases when taken for the
year round.

Brood Sows n Heat.

TO most OF us It does not seem 30
very long ago since the heavy horses
imported from France were grey in
color and even the quality of grey
chat turns white with age, It was
about this time too that Shorthorn
cattle had to be solid red in color to
be considered fashionable and worthy
Of a place In the pedigreed herds OF
the country. But how the fashions do
change to be sure! Almost instantly
iii answer to the demand for black
French horses the imported Percheron
assumed Jet black coat such as had

to be back number. Just about
then, too. the red Shorthorns were en-,
countered by good old fashioned col
ored Scotch Shorthorns of red, roam
and white coats and routed, too, and
since then the solid red color has prac-
tically ceased to be considered an i'm
perative necessity. This was q COM
mon sense move for it should always

always good color, whereas a fash
multitude of evils in beast and body
alike. We cannot say that good
French horse was better horse when
black skinned than was his grey COL
ored equal, and now we are glad to
see that the Clydesdale folk have de-
cided to admit to registry grey col
ored Clydesdale mares, many of which
by the way were in every way equal
to their bay and brown sisters as
proved in pillow and wagon. We pre-
sumo that this change of policy as re-
CARDS grey Clydes is partly due to the
fact that in Great Britain just at pres
ent grey horses are in demand and
scarce, although it is but few years
since grey carriage horse was quite
vulgar in the estimation of the upper
strata" of society who are the de-
scendants of the good old-fashioned
couples who simply would not have
thought of driving to church on their
wedding day behind anything except a
pair Of four-in-hand of dapple greys
Grey horses, too, are in demand for
cavalry purposes in the British army
| and this may have had something to
do with the return of grey into favor
among breeders and dealers who are
also not SO particular now to reject a
horse because he is some shade Of
chestnut or so-called "sorrel." Prac-
tical results are after all the main OBJ
jects of the breeder of any class of
animals and in our opinion color
should not be set up as a barrier to
progress so long as one particular
color or combination of color (as with
Aberdeen-Angus and Hereford cattle)
is not the recognized peculiar charac-
teristic of the breed.
We welcome the grey horse back to
favor and will ever congratulate
breeders who see above and beyond
the mere fad of color.

A Great pairy.

A Great Dairy.
Hoard's Dairyman gives this inter-
esting account of an immense dairy
owned by Francis Francisco, near
Newark, New Jersey:
There are never less than 1000 COWS
1t this establishment. The number
varies from 1000 to 1900 Mr.. Fran
cisco receives at least one carload of
plump new mich cows from his
Iowa ranch every week. His inspector
tests and examines every COW rigidly,
and every one which is found to be out
of condition, or that does not give milk
which, in amount or quality, equals
the standard required, is converted into
beef. Then the rest are given q place
in the dairy. Every COW is killed and
sold to the meat dealer as soon as it
becomes dry" and its place filled by
new mich COW.
These cows are kept in three large
stables, and sixty men care for their
wants. These stables are clean, dry
and well ventilated. Every COW looks
sleek enough to go to a wedding. Every
COW Is curried daily, and every cows
udder is thoroughly washed before
each milking. The stables are lighted
by electricity and cooled by electric
fans. AS every cow is MIXED the
mixer pours the fluid into an auto
matte carrier, which takes it to the
milk house and places it in watts which
are surrounded by ice. These cows are
fed either ensilage or hay, and grain,
every day in the year. They are kept
shut up every Indictment day, but every
pleasant day they are let out to pas
ture. The entire establishment covers
about 300 acres. Not only is every COW
tested when she first arrives, but fire.
quently after that time as well, and
every COW whose milk does not test
at least per cent butter fat, or in any
other way falls under the requirements,
is carted away to the slaughter house,
where its neighbours are destined to go
in few short months at the very
most.
'"The milk from this establishment
is bottled and sealed, and shipped in
refrigerator cars to New York city, and
disposed Of to the retail trade. The
price received varies from season to
season, but is never less than 10 nor
more than IA cents quart"

Ducks.

from Farmers REVIEW: 10 those
contemplating raising ducks for mar
ket next year it is time they had their
breeding stock on hand. If you raised
ducks this year and intend raising
from the young ducks, you should at
least dispose of all the brakes and Gull
ducks, buy brakes in no way related
to the ducks you have, and if possible
procure old brakes. Indeed, we strong
ly advise raising from old stock alto
gether, for while the young Matched
may all live they are not quite so
large, averaging them, and the eggs
Twill not hatch so we'll. Build a house,
not as warm as for your hens. Indeed,
1t may be entirely open or the south,
it should be dry and comparatively
comfortable. Begin now and feed ., a
little heavier, and let the food be large,
~ bulky food, such as cut clover, cut
rye or let them pasture on rye, and
bran. Don't give much corn until
successfully given all the shelled corn
they would eat at night. During and
before the laying season we make it a
rule to give warm breakfast. The
mash need not be mixed as stiff as for
chickens, and If you have milk to give
the ducks give it to them in, their
mash. 1t does not prove success
when given as a drink. Once week
place powdered charcoal in their mash,
gill to quart, and have it around
their house in siZable pieces all the
time. Treat them about as you do
your hens only they do not need dust
bath and as warm house. They need
more to eat then hens, head for head,
but It may be made more of bulk with
advantage to the ducks and to the cost
of feed.
During the heavy laying time they
0eed feed in the proportion OF three
hens ration to two ducks. Two ducks
will eat as much as three hens, and
must have it il they do their best at
laying. Their eggs are much larger
than a hens egg and they lay more
in a given time. To do their best at
laying they should have fresh lean
meat twice per week, all they want
after you have them broken into it.
Procure one drake tor each five ducks,
and get nice sones even if your ducks
are rather SO. 80. It Is not generally
known that ducks grow after they are
year old, but they will. We have
some that were year old last April
that have grown the past summer.
They are now az large as the old-fash-
Toned geese, and II nothing happens
they will be In the best possible shape
for breeding from the coming season.
They we're never stunted either; when

have grown surprisingly since then. 81.
