FIavor in Butter.

n practical dairyman. writing TO the
Rural New Yorker, says:
"Churning may well stop when the but
ter Is yet in grains about the size of
wheat kernels. The smaller the grains of
butter are, the more thoroughly the but
termilk can be worked and washed out
with the slight working that is now con-
sidered desirable.
Butter grains begin 10 form when the
cream thickens and begins to break up.
Some butter ma kerS insist that too
much washing of butter will destroy the
flavor. This seems to be a gross error.
Flavor Is a characteristic of butter. 1t
does not lie ON the outer surfaces of the
grains of fat. II is inside those grains.
1t is not caused by the buttermilk adj
herring to the minute butter globes. 1t
cannot be washed out.
Scientists say that the consumer gets
the flavor of butter only when the little
globes of fat are broken up or dissolved
by heat in the mouth Washing with cold
water can neither break up nor dissolve
the globules.
Sometimes / have wished that flavor
could be got out Of butter by process 50
simple as washing with cold water.
Last season my cows hunted up some
wild onions and ate enough of them to
favor themselves from the tips of their
horns down to the points of their hoGfS
and rearward to the tips of their tails.
Naturally, their wholesale tiavoring in
cluded their milk for day or two.
Il aerated that milk until l nearly wore
it out. When it was creamed and
churned the butter came out with a de-
cided onion flavor.
"'Wash it thoroughly. That will take
out the onion taste. said my better half
Il obeyed. | washed and washed and
washed, and then washed and washed
and washed that butter again. After
working and sailing and forming the but

oniOnish butter, or butterish onion.
The experience convinces me that no
amount of mere washing can in the least
degree affect the flavor of the butter"

Diamonds Dear; Cutters starve.

Diamonds and distress are closely re-
lated in Paris just now. The Trans
vaal war has sent up the value of these
precious stones considerably and the de-
mand has considerably sackened in con-
sequence. This has led to the master
cutting down the wages Of those who
work at the preparation of the rough
stones for the market, and a strike has
resulted. This has already lasted eight
cen weeks, and many wives and families
are in deep distress. The strike fund is
nearly exhausted. and an appeal is be-
ing made to fellow -workmen in other
trades for assistance-Paris Messenger.

OIL WELLS OF JAPAN.
NJ odern Methods of Drilling Have De-
velopcd Petroleum Industry.


Mr.. Renters of the British consular
service in Japan has submitted to the
British board of trade a report on the
petroleum industry, which has of late
attracted much attention and reached
considerable dimensions in that country.
The only place in which the oil is pro-
duced in large quantities is in the prov
ince of EchigO, on the west coast, the
center of the industry being the town
of Arnase, where the largest oil com
pany in the country has been at work
since 1888 with machinery imported
from the United States. Here wells
were dug in the sea and carried above
the sea level by a double ring of piles
filed IN with earth. In the northern
part of the province oil was discovered
in 1899 and led to a fever of specula
ton.
In 1892 there were between GOO and
700 speculative companies with small
capital at work III Ecnigo. and most of
them failed. On their ruins arose large
companies working on a great scale and
with imported machinery. Hand boring
has almost ceased TO exist, and with
Improvement in methods of winning the
oil came Improvement in the transport
of the oil to the retineries. Pipelines
were introduced to convey it from the
wells to the rehnerieS and from the lat
ter TO the railway stations, and il has
been proposed to construct a pipeline all
the way to Toxic, the capital, about 200
miles away.
Petroleum has also been found in Yezo.
the northern island. and it is believed
that the supply there is as rich as it
il in Echigo In one place in the island
wells have been dug and worked by
hand for some years. Here the oil over
flows into the sea. and in stormy wealth
or boats take refuge there on account
~ In
1899 the total production of the oil in
Japan was 1S.S33.91 gallons, of which
1S.713.236 gallons Were produced in

DON'T Spare Your Corn.

The high price of corn this fall we fear
Will induce many to send at 1hankSgly-
ing many turkeys and much other pOul-
try that will not be properly fattened or
fully grown, and that Will scarcely repay
the cost of growing, first, because such
poultry always sells very low, sometimes
even below our lowest market prices, for
when there is but little of that class
we do not consider it TO be a market
price at all, but a sort of ''bargain-coun-
ter lot that goes for the most the owner
can get for it. But if it is abundant we
must quote it, and it helps to keep down
the price of better qualities, as it lowers
the tone of the whole market. The next
reason is that this draining of so many
of the h0cks in November that should be
profitably kept and well fed a month
longer will possibly cause a small supply
for Christmas, and prices will be high,
excepting on such as remains in cold
storage after the Thanksgiving demand
has beeen supplied. Now. we never saw
the time that it did not pay to give poul-
try as much grain as they would eat for
some weeks before they were sent to
market. The pounds of gain well repaid
the cost of food. and we have thought
that the higher the price of the grain the
greater the profit in ii. for the best al
ways brought the best price. Keep them
growing with good range during the day
and one good feed of grain at night I'M
til about four weeks before the time of
marketing them. and then, if convenient,
cOnfine them to a small range, and in
any case give all the warm mash they
will eat in the morning, with meat
scraps mixed in, which will prevent them
from roaming much through the dav.
and at night as much corn as they will
eat.-American Cultivator.
