The cream should always be strained

ed Immediately, II color is to be used.
There should be no variation In the
speed Of cburning, as too fast or too
slow a speed will cause a rise in TEN.
p~eraturc, resulting In too soft q butter,
says NJ. II. Mats In Kansas Farmer.
Churns must be ventilated a couple OF
times after they start to let out gases
Of fermentation. which are always pres
ent.
BE sure Of a proper churning temper.
AZURE, as cream will sometimes pro-
duce what Is known as foamlng and
will nearly oil the churn. This may be
caused either by too much speed Mt
starting, churn too full Of cream or
cream being TOO cold Especially a thin
cream. The best remedy Is to divide
the cream into two churnings and pro-
coed at a proper churning temperature.
In my experience l have found cream
after being churned for between four
and five successive hours, then given q
rest Of about an hour, began to break
In ten minutes after starting the sec
ond time.
After the first stop the cream was
not apparently any nearer the breaking
point than when first started. After the
butter g%ranules have reached the Size
Of q pins head" or from one-sixth to
one-eighth Of an inch In diameter. the
buttermilk IL drawn of and strained
through a hair strainer; then water at
the temperature Of 45 to So degrees f.,
depending on the temperature Of the at.
mosphere. of about the same quantity
as the buttermilk Is added to the butter
and the churn revolved a few times.
Usually one washing Ia sufficient,
though the wash water should drain
comparatively clear. The amount Of
washing will depend on the size Of the
butter g~ranules and the condition the
cream is In. Both under and over ripe
cream will require more washing than
properly ripened cream. The impor-
lance Of using clean and pure wash
water cannot be overestimated.
The butter Is now In a condition to

widely under different conditions. Salt
preserves butter to a certain extent
and greatly improves the taste. If salt
has been used In washing, the finished
butter will not require as much, or, IN
other words, the drier the butter the
less salt needed. From one to two
ounces of salt per pound Of butter fat
should be used. Butter only retains
from onc-half to three-fourths Of the
nsalt, depending upon the condition OF
the salt, which should be kept fine and
in a clean place, as it absorbs odor.
The salt does not enter the i%ndieidual
butter granules or grains. but Is dis.
solved in the water present, and any
excess Of 1t promptly coheres to the
surface Of the grains and Is pressed
between them. Thus we see the i'm
portance Of the kind and right use Of
salt.

CORN MACHINERY.
The Progress of the Harvester-COm-
bined Husker and Shredder.

ohneu ~
1t is only within recent years that
any attempt has been made to furnish
the farmer with corn harvesting ma
chinery that is at all comparable with
that long ago invented for harvesting
small grain, says Iowa Homestead. The
immense waste of stover continued for
years all over the corn belt, and the
figures representing the waste, If they
could be even cOnservatively estimated,
would be startling indeed. There is ev-
cry reason to believe, however, that
better conditions will prevail In the
future.
The corn harvester appeared In 1893.
and, although its introduction was
somewhat slow, as Is the case with all
new ideas, the machine trade papers re-
port that about $4,000 harvesters were
sold during the present year, and the
demand was SO great that 1t could not
be supplied. 1t Is estimated that within
a very few years the annual sales Of
the corn harvester will amount to 1OO.-
600.
The corn harvester and shredder
made their appearance ut about the
same time and apparently to stay. The
best shredders on the market now husk
the corn and shred the stOver In one
operation. From 5000 to 10000 Of
these machines have been sold this sea-
son, which Is nearly as many as the
number of thrashing machines that are
annually sold.
A single shredder, like n thrashing
machine, does duty on many farms, so
that the figures representing the sales
of shreddcrs must be read with this
fact in view in order to appreciate the
extent to which they are being availed
OF. To n much larger extent, therefore,
than ever before the corn crop will In
the future be Il machine crop, and the
terrible wastes connected with it in the
past, which made the economist shud.
der, will measurably cease.

whitewssh ON Peach Trees.

The spraying of peach trees with
whitewash In the winter to prevent
swelling Of fruit buds prematurely has
the effect Of bringing Off the oyster
shell bark louise or scale. The best for
mula Is to use two pounds Of fresh
slaked lime to one gallon Of water and
strain. The louise Is not killed by this
spray, but the whitewash simply loos-
ems the hold Of the adult scale, and 1t
falls to the ground. Sprayed trees are
also more healthy in every way. This

Dufferin was remarkable showed itself
nowhere more clearly than in his deal

of his engagement to the beautiful Miss
Rowan Hamilton, afterward Lady Duff

country house.
On the day after the engagement the
happy fianee sent a simple white rose
