From Farmers Review: In select

lief that I was not choosing a breed
that had been inbred to such an extent
as to weaken the vitality. which in
breeding has been carried to extremes
in the case of some breeds. The Chew
lots are active and WILL get feed for
themselves when other breeds will re-
ly on their owner for feed. In cennec-

middle-wooled and heavy-muttoned
sheep and carries more muscle and less
adipose tissue than any other mutton
sheep of either England or Scotland"
Their points of excellence are: First,
their extreme hardness. which enables
them to become adapted to almost any
condition of climate or keep. They
are what might be called natural rus
tiers and will be found feeding whom
other more sluggish and lazy kinds are
sleeping. Their second excellence ia
the fleece. which is thing Of beauty
being of clean, white color, running
from to inches long for one years
growth of fine quality. This wool fur
nishes the material for the noted chew
lots and tweeds and brings the highest
price in the market. Their third excel
lence is, that the ewes are noted as be-
ing excellent mothers, caring well for
the lamb and giving large quantity
of milk, thus saving large per cent of
the lambs. AS breed they are very
prolific. The rams when crossed on
common ewes produce large per cent
OF twins and the size of the progeny
is much increased. No breed of sheep
rank higher as mutton-producers hav-
ing the largest per cent of dressed
meat in proportion to carcass and Of
excellent quality.-A. e. Burleigh.

s.,e chrys..,. on Butter.

salt Chfystais on Butter.
w. H. Wildman writes the Farmers
Review as follows: II some of your
readers will state the cause and rene
dy of the trouble we are having with
our butter. the same will be highly ap-
preciated. We separate the cream
from the milk by means of a hand sep
arator, when the milk is at temper
allure OF about IS degrees, making
about 80 per cent cream. We churn
at about 60 degrees, and salt at the
rate Of one ounce pound, after WASH
ing once. We work the butter little
in the churn while 1t is in the granular
state. with the ladle. Then, after
about twenty minutes, we finish on
butter worker. print into pounds, and
wrap in parchment paper squares.
After couple of days salt shows all
over the prints in grains or flakes.
Prof E. H. harrington, of the WIS
consin Agricultural College, answers
in the following letter:
To the Farmers Review: The ap-
pearance of salt crystals on the surface
of butter. as mentioned in the letter OF
your correspondent, is not caused oy
any part of the manufacturing process.
Running the separator, ripen1ng the
cream, churning or working the butter
do not cause the salt grains to appear
on the surface.
Some time ago I made a few expert
ments for the purpose OF finding OUT
just what was the cause OF crystals OF
salt appearing on the surface OF but
ter. I took two one-pound prints OF
butter; one of them 1 placed in large
covered Jar. which had water on the
bottom, and thus saturated the atmos-
phere surrounding the brick of butter.
In the other jar placed sulphuric acid
which would absorb all the moisture
around the print of butter. I allowed
these to stand in the jars over night,
and the next morning / noticed that
the brick of butter which had been left
in the dry air was covered with these
crystals of salt, while the brick of but
ter which had stood in the moist air
showed simply drops of brine on the
surface no salt crystals whatever. 1
then placed these same jars in a
warmer room, and examined them aft
er twenty-four hours, with the same
results. This showed that the salt
crystals on the surface of butter are
caused ent1rely Dy the DuIteT pelns
kept in very dry place, so that the
water evaporates out of the brine,
leaving a deposit of salt in the shape
of crystals. In the ordinary creamery
products this appearance of salt is no.
ticed more in the winter than in the
summer, because the refrigerators are
so much dryer in the winter. Your
correspondent can overcome this ap-
pearance of the salt very easily by
placing water in the room where the
butter is kept, so that the atmosphere
will not become dry and evaporate the
moisture from the surface Of the but
ter.-E. H. Harrington.

Bacon Curers and p,s-re.aers.

Heavy weights are not in demand
now in the cattle, sheep. and pig Sec
tions of farm live stock. says North
British Agriculturist On the other
hand, baby" beef and mutton are in
demand, and baby" pork, too. At the
recent fat stock shows heavy-weighted
cattle and sheep were meeting a very
dull sale, whereas cattle and sheep OF
nice handy weights were in sharp de-
mand at very good prices. In the
same way, pigs of heavy weights are
not In demand by bacon curers, and
they consequently meet dull trade.
Last week the Ayrshire bacon curers
held meeting at Kilmarnock for the
purpose of taking concerted action in
the way of inducing pig feeders to aim
at producing the kind Of pig that was
wanted. Ayrshire bacon has an envi-
able reputation in the market, and it
Is for the interest of all bacon pro-
ducers to jealousy guard the reputa-
ton of their product, and to produce
the kind of pig that yields the best
meat, and commands the highest price.
According to the unanimous finding of
the Ayrshire bacon curers. the kind Of
pig that was wanted for bacon curing
Was lIoH oH2 10 oI2 stones OF "a 10. per
stone; and the curers at the Kilmar-
mock meeting unanimously agreed to
give the top price for well-fed pigs of
this weight, all pigs above that weight
to be bought at corresponding re-
duction on that top price. Pig feeders
should therefore take steps to ensure
that their porkers are marketed in fit
condition before they come to be over
the age at which the top price is given
by the curers, and this can only be
done by having the animals well fed
from the first SO that they never get
a back-set in their progress. The same
rule holds good in regard to cattle and
sheep as we'll as in regard to pigs.
