long, large rolling pin, in the end of
which is put an iron pin that, in turn,
is inserted in a hole at the end of
the frame, the sides of this being
considerably higher than the roller.
Thus, by taking hold of the handle
at the other end, one can use it as
both lever and rolling pin. The roller
may be round or six or eight sided,
just as is preferred; but it should
always diminish in size toward the
end furthest from the handle.
AS can be seen in the picture, the
butter worker is triangular in shape,
and it should be about 20 to "a inches
wide by three feet long. If of these
dimensions it can be set on the table
when in use, the point being over one
side and the other end raised a trife,
so that the drip will run off the
point. It is much better, however,
to make stout legs for it and brace
them; the apparatus can be set then
where one wants it.
In using it, the lever or roller
should be moved right and left and
pressed down hard. More or less
practice will be required, of course,
for a new hand to do extra work, but
enough of this, coupled with good
Judgment, is sure to bring satisfying
returns.-Frederick o. Sibley, in N. Y.

ROPINESS IN MILK.
1t II Caused by a Bacillus Which
Lives in Water and Thrives
Where Dirt AbOunds.

The Shiny, viscid condition of milk
has been source of perplexity and abb
horrence to all dairymen and milk
dealers at one time or another. 1t is
quite commonly supposed to be always
due to a diseased state of the udder,
known as "garget;" but we are told
in the last farmers bulletin from the
Cornell experiment station that this
is mistaken belief" There is
''ropy milk that is due to garget and
may always be known by its yielding
on standing a viscid or even bloody
sediment. But what the milkman
knows as "ropy milk" is not that.
This bulletin tells us that this kind of
ropy milk contains bacteria known to
science as bacillus lactis viscosus.
They live naturally in water, and pre-
ventive measures are most important.
Some are these: Wash and scald the
milk utensils after use.
Merely rinsing them will not do. BAG
terra may be introduced by that very
act. Keep the cows udders clean.
The floors of all rooms where ropy milk
is kept should be disinfected with a
mixture of five parts of crude sulphuric
acid to 95 parts of water. All milk
utensils should be scalded most thor
oughly daily. Never let cold water
come in contact with utensils unless
they are scalded before using for milk
again. Exercise the greatest care to
prevent even drop of water from the
cooling tank getting into the milk.
That occurrence is probably the most
common cause of trouble from ropy
milk. If water must be spattered
about, the cans standing in ice water
should be covered. Utensils, after
washing and scalding, should stand up
side down to prevent the accumulate
of dust on the inside.-N. Y. Tribune.

1.-THE BATTLE OF THE CLOUDS.
An Experience in the Swiss Alps.

Louder and louder the demons of the
air howl and shrek around us, but we
can laugh at them behind the thick
wall of our stone fortress. They can
not make it culver. The rains descend
and the floods come. and they beat up
on that house; but it falls not. Then
the snow drives down from the top of
the highest Alps, where it has its per-
petual home. A whitish tinge is given
to the sombre cloud, and unfortunate
tourists, who had set out for distant
peaks before the storm arose, begin to
straggle into the hotel by twos and
threes, their faces Redeemed and par
boiled by the snowy blast, and their
black coats covered with natures
ermine. Thus for four hours the storm

piling thick and deep upon the Corner
Glacier below.
| At once we start for the Corner
Graf, a rocky. snow bound peak two
hours climb above the Riffelberg, a
peak more than ten thousand feet above
the sea. A little one. indeed, is the
| Goren Graf among the thousands of
Switzerland, but it lifts its modest head
in the very centre of the mightiest
1 mountains of Europe, and looks them
all in the eye.
AS we climb the snowy, toilsome
steep. we witness many battle be-
tween the north wind and the sulky
clouds, which refuse to give up, beat
enc Every few minutes they return
to the attack, and apparently sweep all
before them. One minute we are stand
ing in brilliant sunlight; the next, in
| impenetrable fog so dense and dark
that we almost fear we shall lose the
path. Then the next moment the north
wind "cometh and cleanseth them"
and all is sweet and clear again.
Perhaps the most beautiful sight of
all was when the wind began to gain the
mastery, and the highest peaks, crown
ed with sunlight, would peer above
the clouds. enormously exaggerated,
and looking fifty thousand, instead of
fifteen thousand, feet high, seeming to
hang and topple over us, almost from
the zenith itself.
! But old Boreas wins the day in the
end; gloomily and sulkily the clouds
retire; and, by the time we reach the
top of the Corner Graf, every glorious
peak in the magnificent circle. from
the knlfe.edge of the Matterhorn's
| summit clear around the horizon to the
Matterhorn again, stands out sharp

SIMPLE BUTTER WORKER.
Here Described Will Give Rea-
sOnable Satisfaction.

The proper way of working butter
is by pressing, much the same as is
required when pie crust is rolled with
a rolling pin. 1t should, indeed, be
folded over and over, and rolled re-
peatedly until done. The reason this
is not practicable in the hand work
ing of butter is that more pressure
is needed with butter than can be
applied with the unaided hand.
Now, for the average farmer, who
has only small dairy, the style of
butter worker shown in the accom-
panying illustration will give good
satisfaction, and will be found easy
of construction. 1t consists of q

A Note ON Winter Feeding.

The farmer who has silo filled with
good corn ensilage, little mixed hay
and some corn in the crib can settle
the winter feeding question easily and
economically, since all he needs to sup
plement the farm products is nitro
genous concentrate, says a CORE
spondent of National Stockman. The
feeder who has neither silage nor
roots will find it more difficult to de-
eide in regard to his winter feeding,
for, instead of depending upon the lax
ative effect OF ensilage to keep the
cattle in good condition, he will be
obliged to use some commercial by
product for this purpose. OF these,
linseed meal and bran have this effect
upon cattle in a pronounced manner.
Although both these feeds are at the
present time very high, more or less
of one or both of them must be fed.
since it is absolutely necessary if the
best results are to be obtained to keep
milking cows or feeding cattle in good
normal condition.
