WHY BUTTER Is NOTIFIED.

At many of the institute meetings
held during the past winter the ques-
ton was asked, "What is the cause
of notified b~utter?" The Maryland
Experiment Station has issued a COM
prehensive bulletin On the subject,
and the following are their concIu-
sions:
/. The uneven distribution of salt
is the cause of unevenly colored but
ter, spoken of as notified butter.
2. Washing the butter with
water below 40 degrees does not
cause notifies. 1t does, however,
make a little more working neces-
sary to thoroughly distribute the
salt.
8. The light colOred streaks or por-
tions of notified butter are not caused
by an excess of casein, but notifies
are evidently caused by some physi-
cal action of salt on the butter fat
which causes it to admit more light.
4. Notifies can be prevented by
working the butter sufficiently to
thoroughly distribute the salt.
s. Butter washed with water at 40
degrees and under, and worked i'm
mediately, shows a better grain
when sufficiently worked to insure
its being evenly colored than with
any other treatment.
6. Washing butter with water at
40 degrees does not injure it's firm
ness when subjected to high tenn
perature.

Farm Miscellany.
PROMOTING GOOD FARMING.

The St. Louis Journal of Agricul-
ture of recent date contains the fol
lowing editorial, which, whether en-
tirely correct or not, is worth read
ing:
If any n who was familiar with
the country around Asheville, North
Carolina, twenty years ago, were to
go back there, after an absence of
that length of time, and see the gen
eral improvement that has been
made in the mountain and valley
farms, he would feel sure that some
powerful agency had been at work
to make the changes. The thing
chat is at the bottom of it is the
force of good example. This example
has been set by Mr.. George Wander
bilt, a multi-millionaire, who had
the means to put not only millions
into his house, the only real palace
on a farm in this country, but also
into the improvements and stock on
his farm, his roads, and everything
else about him. And yet, not de-
TERED by the vast difference in their
financial ccndition, the farmers liv-
ing around Blltmore have been
spurred by his example and have
made greag improvements too. They
have made their roads and their
fences better they are breeding up
their stock they are improving their
land they are making better butter
they have better gardens and raise
more and better vegetables. They
even wear better cloEhes and are bet.
ter off all around.
So Mr.. Vanderbilt has been
different from most millionaires in
the fact that he said at the outset
that he means to better the condi
ton of things around him, by set
ting a good example. We sincerely
wish that every farmer, everywhere,
who is successful and knows how to
get the largest results from his farm.
would be inspired by the same am
bition. Not many men are born
with sufficient initiative to start out
of their own volition, on a different
line from what they are used to.
Men are creatures of habit, mostly
bad habit, and it requires some one
with enterprise and courage to get
out of a rut and go into a new line of

in methods which will bring our
dairy interests require some change
farms back to the old, rich pasture
production period which made them
originally SO profitable for dairying.
Let grass, rich and succulent pas
turage, be made the foundation of
the whole matter. Devote more
time to increasing the grass yield of
every acre of land and there will be
required then less knowledge about
animal ailments and diseases. Be-
cause we do not have sufficient pas
turage of the right kind for our dairy
COWS we have to consider ways and
means to feed them so they will
keep in health and yield the greatest
amount of milk. We have to mix
foods in different proportions to in
crease the butter fats or richness of
milk and cream All this is attended
to by nature when the pasture is
rich and succulent. That is the
foundation of the whole system of
dairying. Let us have better grass,
better pastures, and then we will
have better dairy COWS.

"I keep hen manure under cover
in a dry place." says J. II. Davis in
Practical Poultryman, "and when
1 put a bucket of manure on the pile,
I also put a bucket of earth with it.
Then mix up thoroughly with a hoe.
Occasionally [ wet the pile and mix
it up, because the water helps to
retain the ammonia, and besides, it
pulverizes the mass and makes it
ashy and free from Jumps. Soap
suds from the family washing is the
best thing to put on a manure pile,
but the main thing is to mix up
earth, the same in bulk as the amount
added to the pile. When this is
done, and the heap kept moist and
under cover, you get the best results
obtainabIe."

HEALTH OF THE DAIRY COWS.

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
In good pasture regions it is a
noteworthy fact that most of the
dairy COWS show better health than
those kept in regions where the grass
is less luxuriant and plentiful. In
some of the States where grass pas
lures were naturally good years ago,
the COWS presented a far better ap.
pearance than they do to-day when
other crops have crowded out the
grass fields or poor farming has per-
mitted them to degenerate. I'm
questionably the grass question has
much to do with the health of u
dairy COWS. A fine breed of dairy
COWS was eve yet produced in re-
gions where the grass was poor, and
we cannot do better than to get back
to first principles in our efforts to
improve the stock. The prime es.
sential is good grass without that

THE WOOL CLIP.

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
There is always satisfaction in be-
ginning the seasons clip of wool If
the market prices r good and the
quality of the wool excellent. The
wool industry has probably been as
uncertain in recent years as any
other product of the farm, but con-
ditions appear to be in a fair way of
improvement. There was never a
season when agents of large mills
took more interest in the new clip
than this year. It begins to look as
if the direct representatives of the
mills were hereafter going to make
personal Investigations of the wool
product instead of trusting to specu-
lators. During the past year there
has been a steady fight between
growers and mills, due entirely TO
the spectators or middlemen who
bought up most of the wool last sea-
son and then endeavored to make
money out of it. The mills we're
actually ignorant of the quantity of
wool in the country, and they stood
out of the market as long as possible.
There is no way to remedy this ex-
cept by the mills and manufacturers
sending their direct representatives
to the growing districts where per-
sonal communication with the farm
T will give them a clearer idea of
conditions.
There has been a sort of antagon-
ism between the manufacturers and
growers for years on account of the
speculative methods resOrted to in
influencing the price of wool. Time
and again growers have been induced
to part with their wool early in the
season at nominal prices under the
unfounded dread that a large sur
plus in the country would push prices
down to a very small figure. In
most cases the spectators secured
most of the wool in the country, and
then calmly waited for prices to adj
ance. The growers had no option
in the matter, but had to accept the
situation and see prices rapidly ad.
vance when they had no wool to sell.
In the last year or two there has
been a strong disposition on the part
of the growers to hold their wool.
This is one of the best signs of the
times for the industry. The grower
who is anxious to dispose of his wool
early is sure to accept almost any
price offered, and in the end he in
jures the position of all other grow
ers. What is needed is more general
co operation among growers to hold
the new clip back sufficiently to give
all a clear view of the situation.
When prices are good it is policy to
sell the clip as needed, and not rush
it on the market rashly. The grower
can hold wool cheaper and longer
than the speculator because his ex-
penses are less, and in the end he
should make a better profit.

We really do not believe that the
average North Carolina farmer can
anywhere invest 1925 to better adj
vantage than by sending that
amount to US for a copy of Prof. L.
II. Bailey's principles of Agricul-
ture." This is a work which tells
the why's and wherefores"-the
principles-Of the business of
farming. 1t is written by a man of
great ability who knows his subject
by long years of actual experience
and scientific study. The farmer
who secures a copy of this work

find greater interest in his work, a
broader view of his profession and
the probability of making many
more dollars as a result of his study.
There are many books upon the

action so, if no one takes the initia-
tive, farmers are apt to keep on 60
ing the same road. It is therefore
the duty of every enterprising farmer
to do some thinking for his neigh
bors, and when he finds out a good
thing, to set the example and urge
others to follow. When we learn a
good thing, we should not be SO sell
