DAIRY OBSERVATIONS.
Rlpening the Cream and Workine
the Butter Are Two Duties That
Cannot BE Neglected.

That we may have a first-class ar
ticle of butter it is not only neces-
sary to have good milk to start with.
but every part of the manipulation
from beginning to end must be done
just about right. The elusive element
in butter is flavor, and with strict
ly pure milk to begin with flavor is
chiefly dependent upon proper ripen-
ing. Where there is lack of acid
the butter is apt to have fat taste,
and when the acidity has been al
lowed to run too high, sourness is
likely to appear. I find there are
comparatively few butter-makers
who test for acid. Too many of them
depend upon their sense of sight.
smell and taste to determine when
the proper degree of ripeness has
been reached, the same as many but
ter-makers, years past, tried the tenn
perature of the cream with the finger
instead of a thermometer. 1t is
proba ble that the time is not far dis
tant when it will be as common to
test for acid as it now is for tenn
perature, and when they use exact
methods they will soon reach point
where they will know exactly how
far ripening should be carried.
A good deal is being said and writ
ten about working butter. In some
instances there has been so much
said about -overworked butter that
makers have gone to the other ex-
IRENE and do not work enough.
Those for whom butter is made de-
sire condition of the article that is
only secured by proper working. Too
much of this working is injurious,
while too little is defective.
In making good butter there are
several conditions dependent on or
brought about by working. There
should be certain measure of CO.
hesion among the particles of butter.
enough to cause it to adhere to-
gether in one mass. or. rather, it
should be waxy and compact without
being sticky or greasy.
An undue amount of moisture in
butter renders it defective and when
butter is taken from the churn more
water adheres to the particles Of
granules than is desirable. This ex-
cess is taken out by working, and
too little of this leaves too much
moisture in the butter, while too much
working causes the butter to be too
dry.
Where the salt is not thoroughly
worked through the butter. the
product will show streaks and mot
ties when cut. This is a serious de-
feet. and means a lower price for the
goods whenever found. This condi-
ton can be overcome by working and
mingling the lighter parts with the
mass till the salt is evenly distribute
ed, and all becomes one common
shade.
The proper working of butter is an
important matter and means money
to the maker, and it is the maker
who gets all these conditions the
nearest right who secures the high
est score and takes the prizes.-V

Cement Floor for q Cellar.

While it is not at all difficult to
lay cement floor it is we'll to have
the advice and assistance of local
mason. The main thing is to get
good foundation of broken stones or
bricks at least six inches deep. The
cement can then be mixed dry with
it's bulk of coarse, sharp sand, or
fine gravel. Add water and mix very
thoroughly until it is soft uniform
mortar. Pour over the foundation.
tamping down well until it fills all
crevices between the stones. In
about "a hours another thinner coat
may be smoothly spread over the
surface, making everything level.
Cover with hay or straw for several
days to avoid too rapid drying and
cracking. There is nothing better
than cement for the purpose.-Rural

WATERING IN STABLES.
A Practice Which,, After Single
Faithful Trial, Will Never Be
Given Up Entirely.

At a farmers institute in Ontario
one stock feeder said both mich cows
and fattening stock should have water
constantly by them in the barn. He
usually watered from tank IL feet
deep and IL feet in diameter. tilleo
by water from the roof so arranged
that they could have water when they
pleased. By an accident to this tank
he was obliged for time. to bring Wa
ter from spring and watered at reg
ular hours. and while he could not
estimate the loss to the fattening cat.
tie. he knew that two mich cows fell
Off one-third, in their milk as result.
His neighbor, also feeder, thought
it was necessary for the stock to be
turned out every day for water and
exercise. By keeping his cattle in the
stable and water constantly within
reach of them, he fatted his for ma rket
in six weeks less time than his neigh.
Dor, and sold them at so cents pei
hundredweight more than the neigh
Dor received. We think he did not
overestimate the Importance of hav.
ing the water where they could drink
when they wished. to do SO, and take
it little and often. but we think some
of the difference is due to the temper
ature of water in the tank and that
from a spring or well. The supply from
the tank would seldom reach below
&C degrees if it was properly made.
while we'll or spring water is usually
below 50 degrees, and it run into a

Recipes for Grafting Wax.

The following recipes have been
extensively used and are reliable:
Hard wax; resin, four pounds; bees
wax, one pound; half pint or more
of raw linseed oil, free from all cot
ton-seed oils or other adulterants,
Melt all gradually together, turn into
cool water, and pull until. smooth.
More oil can be used if too hard.
Liquid wax: good white resin, one
pound; beef tallow, one ounce. Melt
and remove from the fire. Add grad
ually eight ounces of alcohol, stir
ring until mixture is smooth. Keep
in closed bottles and apply with a
brush when used. - Rural New

JUDIC1oUS PRUNING.
An Important Matter Which Receives
Altogether Too Little Attention
from Apple Growers.

1t seems to me it might be we'll to
call the attention of your readers to
the Importance of caring we'll for the
apple trees if we would produce fine
fruit. So far as my observation ex-
tends the trees contain far too much
wood. Suppose for a moment that
your trees contain 1900 limbs, great
and small; each of these limbs or
tWlgs throw out a certain quantity
of new wood each year, according as
the conditions are favorable or I'M
favorable for growing wood. The
production of this wood is a constant
drain upon the parent stalk. We will
suppose that 400 of these limbs are
Topped off and if the same energy or
vitality is brought to bear on the re-
naming 800 limbs the new wood
thrown out will reach a much higher
state of perfection.
The same rule will apply to the
fruit. Too many limbs furnish the
opportunity for an excessive number
of buds, and with favorable condi-
lions you get too many blossoms,
WILL VIC 1SSulC VI 100 HanV sets:
and your tree, unable to sustain the
great drain upon it, yields large
number of inferior apples. With
fewer limbs you get smaller num-
Der of apples, but at the harvest you
realize as many in bulk, and these
are merchantable and will command
a much higher price in any market in
which they are exposed for sale.
Pruning out fruit trees is indeed
an important matter, and one that
receives too little attention. We will
do well to think upon this subject
these long winter evenings, and when
spring comes put our thoughts into
execution, give our trees a genuine
surprise party, and in the autumn
we shall take pride in calling in our
neighbors to witness the bountiful
harvest; and when we receive the re-
turns from the consignment of ap-
pies, the bill will not be marked No.

holes through the broken and I'M
broken parts and place in these holes
bolts of size that the size of the limbs
may indicate as correct. For a small
tree I use one-quarter inch bolts or
ordinary one-half inch bolts. In one
large butternut tree I used one-inch
bolts. 1 place one bolt midway of the
broken part, to bind the pieces closely
together and one above the juncture
of the limbs-as shown in the cut-so
as to strengthen them. Use bolts with
small heads, and place washer under
the nut. In few years both ends will
be covered with the growing wood and
the tree will be stronger than it ever
was.-L. B. Rice, in Agricultural Epito-

DAIRY BARN FEED BOX.

of clear lumber. Knots are liable to
loosen and fall out. 1t should be
constructed with sloping sides as
shown in cut, so that the animals
can reach the food in all the corners
and clean them out. Adhering food
decays and sours and pollutes the
box to the injury of animals. The
edges both on top and bottom should
be ''armored," as shown, so that
there is no chance to bite and gnaw
the wood. Such box will last for
years and is good in the horse stable
or dairy barn.-F. o. Sibley, in Ohio

Cure for soft-shelled Exx.-

If soft-shelled eggs appear during
the winter, the proper thing to do is
to cut down the feed-the morning
feed, not the one which is given in the
afternoon. Soft-shelled eggs are posi-
tive proof that the hens are too fat,
and the best way to get rid of the fat
is to make the hens work it off in the
scratching material. For the morning
feed not more than one handful of
wheat to ten hens should be given, as
long as scottish elled eggs are found in
the nests. Mid land Farmer.
