importance Of Clean Cream.

"Ripening," for want Of a better
word, expresses the whole series OF
changes that take place in the cream
caused by the growth, nutrition and
death of bacteria, says a writer In
Hoard's Dairyman. The flavor they
produce is the substance Of things
sought for. The changes they produce
in the cream are certainly the evidence
of things unseen. but evidently the re-
suit in producing successfully the first
or last condition depends on to what
extent cooperation exists between the
dairyman and butter maker. No dairy
man is doing his whole duty when the
cream made from his milk Is tainted
BY the presence of dirt produced bac.
terra; no butter maker can do his duty
when he is compelled to receive such
cream, and. although the butter maker
may receive many hard words for not
producing extras" the loss ultimately
falls where it belongs-on the milk pro.
Queer. The only injustice is that the
loss does not fall on the dirty one alone
but on his neighbors as well, on the

of Feeding.
Food is fuel. The animal must use
food enough to warm up the body to
life temperature. says L. w. Lightly in
The National Stockman. If the cow
must be out in the cold and storm, she
uses very much food to keep up the
temperature, and to digest this food re-
quires considerable energy, which en-
ergy must also be supplied by the food,
and thus it comes about that if the cow
is compelled to rough it she Is kept
busy keeping warm and can give very
little attention to making milk.
Arrange your stable or cowhouse SO
that the temperature never gets to
freezing and keep the COW in at least
% hours out of the "a, and If the
weather is real bad keep her in the 9TH
err hour, too, and it will save you lots of
feed and give the COW a chance to
make you a profit out Of the feed con-
sumed. When hay and Scornmeal sell
at three fourths to seven-eighths cents
per pound, it is an expensive expert
ment to try to warm up the universe
by burning these in the cows body
while the cow is bumped up in the
field or barnyard.

GOOD DAIRY RATION.

Relative Value of Various Kinds OF
Hay and Grain.
An Illinois dairyman asked informa-
milk ration from corn and cob meal,
oatmeal, bran, oat hay cured in the
bundle, mixed timothy and clover hay,
clover forming one-fourth Of the mix
ture, says W. J. Fraser of the Illinois
experiment station.
While corn is too carbonaceous to be
q good food for dairy cows, yet in this
section Of the country, where it can be
grown so cheaply. we must depend
upon it for the basis Of our ration
even for dairy cows. With the grains
mentioned should advise feeding six
pounds corn and cob meal, three
pounds oatmeal and three pounds bran
per day, with all the mixed hay and
oat hay, equal parts, that the cows will
eat. Each animal will probably con-
sumo 16 to 20 pounds per day, depend
ing upon the individuality Of the COW
and also upon the condition of the hay.
Oat hay If cut while it Is still green
and II properly cured makes an ex-
cellent feed for dairy cows. The oats
do not pass through whole when fed in
this manner, but are remasticated with
the hay and nearly all ground with the
teeth, which is not the case when whole
thrashed oats are fed. This saves both
the thrashing and grinding bills.
Glover hay is one Of the best hays
we have for cows, because it is rich in
albuminoids. and this is the class Of
substances almost invariably lacking
in the dairy rations of the corn belt.
Timothy hay is one of the poorest hays
for cows! I should advise replacing d
pound or two Of the corn and cob meal
with gluten meal or oil meal, as this
adds to the variety and also makes a
much better balanced ration.

CHURNlNG IN WINTER.
How to Obviate the Difficulty of Col

How to Obviate the Difficulty of Col
lecting Butter Fat.
During cold weather one of the chief
difficulties in butter making results
from hard fat granules and cream with
q high viscosity. These conditions are
more common in the early winter
months than at any other time and
when cows are somewhat advanced in
lactation. The character Of the feed
also has something to do with this.
The difficulty can be remedied by using
feed of a more succulent character. d.
luting the cream with warm water or
q very weak brine.
Care must be taken in diluting not to
carry this too far, as the cream will be
thin and hard to churn. Warming Of
the cream gradually several hours be-
fore churning will also aid in the col
lection of butter fat. It sometimes hap
pens that the cream will have to be
heated as high as Is or 80 degrees to
churn well. Do not heat any more than
is absolutely necessary. Other things
being equal, the lower the temperature
at which the cream can be churned the
higher the quality of the hnttnr

This is for outer end of your joists or

If you propose to resist cyclone and

strength. Strength may be added by
bridging the studs. Paper outside Of

If the pocketbook holds out and more
warmth is wanted, add paper outside
Of siding and over it steel or iron sid

Where the metal siding is used and
lumber is high priced it may be econ
omy to use strong unplaned Gull lumber
instead of drop siding, covered with
steel siding. Splice studs to roof. As
this plan is for no silos in the center
ned by the carpenter. The purlins
plates must have good strong posts at
the ends and centrally, which may be
made of square solid lumber or Of 2
inch plank spiked together.
This plan is on the presumption that
the roof is to be ridged one. which
will admit of a hay carrier in the ridge
extending out over load Of hay out
side in the gable of the barn. My car.
rier track is a fve-eighths inch rod with
carrier made of metal, durable and
effective. I think it costs less than
other kinds. If my plan has been un-
derstood, it will be seen that the lower
story admits of drive in floor cross
wise Of the ridge above or a drive in
passage without lumber floor.
The floor above the lower story may
all be of one height or higher above
the drive in passageway. The upper
story may not have any drive in en-
trance, but filled with hay carrier or in
any other manner you please. Some
may prefer nand pitching "over the
great BEAM" still wondering "why
boys leave the farm"
The upper story can be reached by a
bridge from a bank or grade which
will permit Of any kind Of loading to
be driven in, which will add to cost.
A ridge roof with one-third or more
pitch will hold large amount, but can
be dispensed with for round one. An
inquirer asks how a ridge roof can be
put on a round barn. Here is the way:

Terre Haute. Ind, Feb. 27.-George
Ward, 81 years old, colored, formerly
employed in the car works here, was
arrested during the day and, according
to the police. has confessed having
murdered Ida Finklestein, the school
teacher who was found dying in a
grove outside the city.
Ward had recently been discharged
from an insane asylum as cured. Ap-
parently he is demented now. In his
confession he said Miss Finklestein
tainted him about his color and then
struck him in the face. In fit Of an
ger he shot her and then cut her
throat. A blood stained knife found
in his pocket corroborated the state
ment. Ward, when first captured,
strenuously denied his guilt, but,
closely questioned, finally confessed.
He failed to explain, however, how he
came to be engaged in conversation
with the victim. and the officials be-
lieve it was either an unprovoked
murder or the deed of maniac.
At 1880 p. m. mob, wrought to a
tremendous pitch of fury, gathered
in front of the county Jail and batter
ed down the outer door.
Jailer Lawrence O'Donnell appeared
with a shotgun and fired over the
crowd in vain effort to stampede
them.
! Three deputy sheriffs were wounded
by shots from the crowd.
Word of Wards confession was
passed through the streets and the
crowd, reinforced by hundreds Of re-
cruits, redoubled its attack on the
Jail.
The sheriff was absent when the
mob descended upon the Jail. His
deputies put up vigorous resistance
and at first appeared to have sue
cessfully beaten off the crowd, but on
the second onslaught the Infatuated
mob, variously estimated at 1000 to
5000 in number, swept away all OBJ
stac1es.
Ward was dragged from his cell, a
rope was placed around his neck and
he was dragged down the street to a
wagon bridge spanning the Wabash
river.
On the way to the bridge, three
blocks distant, Ward was beaten with
clubs and repeatedly shot at.
He was unconscious and in all
probability dead when the loose end
of the rope was tied to timber of the
bridge and his body swung out over
the stream.
A strand Of the rope suddenly
broke and the leaders, fearing their
prey might drop into the river, hastily
drew the body back upon the bridge.
1t was dragged across to the west
side, a huge bonfire was quickly built,
the body was thrown upon the pyre
and in short time was burned to a
crisp.

San lose Scale,


There seems to be wide difference
OF opinion regarding the difficulty Of
overcoming this orchard pest. The
division of Entomology, at Washing
ton, in a recent circular written by
Professor Marlatt, recommends the
careful destruction by fire of trees that
have been badly infested where trunk
and main branches are 50 covered by
the tiny insects as to present rusty
appearance.
A recent writer in the American
Gardener, quoted in the Fruitman,
claims to haye no difficulty in keeping
the pest in check by washing the tree
trunks with strong whale oil soap suds
in early spring and giving two spray
ings of whale oil soap solution, 10 lbs
soap to 40 gallons of water, one in late
April and the other in early July.
The station entomologists generally
emphasize the Importance of making
the main fight against the San Jose
scale in late winter, before the leaves
appear, and kerosene mixed with water
by the kero-water spray pump seems
the most generally successful remedy.
If scale is in the orchard, however, the
kerowater mixture may be sprayed on
during bright sunshine in summer, if
a 10 per cent solution is used, without
damage to the foliage.
This insect has become widely dis
tributed in Tennessee and orchardists
should begin active work against it
wherever found. The state law for
nursery inspection unfortunately does
not apply to orchards and gardens, so
that the fruit growers must depend up
on hiso efforts for protection against
insect enemies.
