Butter. when properly made in the
granular form. needs no working other
than that done in the churn. This saves
more than half the labor and makes
first-ciass butter. salt should be even
IL distributed through the butter and
the butter freed from the buttermilk
and surplus moisture. Why churn the
butter into mass and fasten the but
termilk in? Stir the cream well to-
gether when more cream is added until
enough is gath ID to churn. Churn
the cream at 81 degrees in a revolving
churn without inside machinery until
the butter comes in granules about
hird-shot size. Ii so done. the butter
will be strictly one thing and the but
termilk another, and the buttermiik
will run out If You give il an opDor-
tunity.
Rinse the butter twice with pure
water. with salt added. The last rims
ing will come nearly. clear of butter
milk. Drain the butter few minutes.
add about two ounces of good dairy
salt to the pound of butter. the butter
still being in the churn. revolve the
churn few times and the salt will in
termingle evenly with the butter. 1t
is well to allow few minutes for the
salt 10 dissolve. and then give ii good
banging in the churn. which will give
the butter nearly all the needed work
ing. Now pack the butter solidly in
tub or crock OF work into rolls with
the butter ladle. About three-fourths
of the large amount of salt in the but
ter'will cone out in the brine in work
ing or banging the butter into solid
body. | have practised this method
ever 80 years. and can certify To its
value for farm dairy use. or. say. up to
80 pounds of butter at a churning.-F.

Took n Long Time to Rui'd.

Persons who are disposed TO grum-
BILE at the length of time required to
finish the capitol in Albany should
take heart from the example of the
Cathedral of st. Peter in Cologne.
That structure was 60 years in build
ing. II was begun in 12is and was
pronounced complete in 1880. The
great cathedral of Milan was begun in
1886 and was not completed until 1905
-419 years later. RoStermel castle.
in Cornwall, took 80 years 10 build.
and one third of that time was en-
played in excavating for the founda-
ton. The late Lord Butte was engaged
for over % years in building his great
palace in the Isle of Butte, and his sue
cessor is still ar work or it. The
palace of the Dukes of Atholi in Scot
land has been building since 1850. and
the work is still going on. So. after
all. the capitol in Albany is not the
only one In the cases of the other
buildings mentioned. however, the
money for their construction did not
come entirely out of the pockets of
the taxpayers. which, after all. makes
a considerable difference as to the
manner of looking for it.

Suhatifufes for Grain.

Owing to the high prices of grain.
ceipts of poultry keepers who are
obliged to buy large proportion of the
feed. we have been asked il something
could not be used in place of so much
grain. The hen has a small crop and
cannot make use of a great amount OF
coarse, bulky foods as can cows and
other ruminants. The grain ration can
be advantageously cut down one-fourth
or more by the liberal use of clover
and vegetables. but where this is done
a large proportion of the wheat bran.
which is also bulky food. shout- be
left out.
Very finely cut clover or alfalfa. or
clover meal can be steamed and mixed
with the mash, or the noon ration may
consist of steamed clover. to which is
added some wheat middlings and corn
meal. Vegetables s:r be fed either
green or boiled and mixed with the
mash. Corn silage makes an occa-
sional relish. and is very cheap. Whole
grain should be fed at least once day.
At present prices of grain. barley is
one of the most economical feeds TO
buy and is very good fed either ground
or whole. Meat scraps or green cut
bone are cheap. considering the matter
which they contain. An old sheep.
COW or horse can be turned TO good
profit in this way. II is also the most
profitable use 10 which many Gogs
could be put.-American Agriculturist.

Here is what veteran sea captain
says as TO how seasickness affects
women: They suffer more generally
than men. but they don't make such a
fuss about it. y man goes to bed.
where he passes the time groaning
and swearing until he is able to come
on deck again. A woman fights the
malady until she can fight no longer.
Then she becomes quickly maudlin
and pathetic. Almost invariably she
asks three questions: DO people die
OF seasickness?' How fer are We from
shorc?' How long before we shall
land" When n man is good and sick
lie doesn't care when he is going to
land-rather hopes that the ship will
go down, in fact"

Some time ago there was ship
wreck at St. Margaret's bay. England.
and the lifeline brought sailor after

NAMED on board. The line was ready.
the signal was given, but the answer
ing Jerk did not come. Again and again
for n quarter of an hour the question
passed along the rope without reply.
At last when hope was nearly dead
the signal came. and the captain was
hauled dripping ashore. He picked
himself up, drew small, wet, CULVER
ing dog from his breast pocket and set
il tenderlly down. Then he locked
round and said in simple apology: Il

Principle. Underlying Crop Rotation.

Principles Underlying Crop Rotation.
A rotation of crops on the same soil
prevents the exhaustion of plant food
primarily because different crops draw
in different proportions on the plant
food elements of the SOIL If. for in
stance, wheat were grown year after
year. even though the stubble was
phosphoric acid of the soil would be-
come exhausted. and the test of soils
ability to produce crops is the amount
and availability of all its principal ele-
ments of fertility. In other words. if
potash and nitrogen were abundant in
sufficient quantity to produce a crop of
wheat, and phosphoric acid were lack
ing. the wheat would suffer. The pro-
cuctivity of the soil would in this case
be measured by the amount and avail
ability OF the phosphoric acid which IT
contains.
When a rotation is followed. the pot
ash may be drawn heavily on one year.
the phosphoric acid another. and the
nitrogen another. and so balance Is
maintained, but this is not all. because
a rotation not only implies this. but
implies that in that rotation a plant is
included which adds considerably TO
the humus content OF the soil. To this
end clover or some other leguminous
plant is always. or should always be. a
,art Of the rotation. and the reason
hat clover is used Is that 1t returns to

 but had not worked at the business for number of years. Mir JudSon has He was the first representative from
 Bethel after the incorporation of the town in 1855. He was again elected a member of the legislature in 1879. MT Judson held the office of judge of pro- bate until his age debarred him from further election to the office, but up to the time of his sickness was acting as assistant in the office. He was town treasurer and during the past years that he had been identified with pub- lie affairs had at times held most of the town offices of any importance. The deceased was a member of the Methodist church of this place, having been converted during the ministry of Rev John Crawford.
