HOME DAIRY NOTES.
Success i'm Butter-MakinE Depends on
Cleanliness and Proper Hand
ling of Cream.

One OF the most important requisites
Of good butter is perfect cleanliness,
not only in the dairy but in the milk
ing. A careless milker will often get
trash into the Iailk, that will change
flavor of both milk and butter and all
the extra care that can be given it in
the dairy will not out root this I'M
pleasant odor. Then again there are
weeds which the cows get hold of which
will give most unpleasant flavor tC
the milk, and a change of pasture is
often necessary. Those who have the
care of the cows are just as often re-
sponsible for the inferior butter as the
dairy maid. The old-fashioned spring
house is but rarely met with these days,
but the possessor of a good sprinG
house, where there is a constant stream

has something to be very thankful for.
and all the modern appliances for MAX
ing sweet butter can hardly equal this.
Some dairy writer's say that the cream
should be churned sweet; l have tried
this plan, but find that the sweetest
butter and the greatest amount can be
made from the ripened cream, but over
ripe cream has very unpleasant flavor.
When the cream is chutned sweet. or
when it has just begun 10 sour, very
small returns will be received, and after
the buttermilk has been allowed to set
awhile great deal of cream will he

very wasteful method Unless one has

raising the cream, as it seems to rise

more ease. Churning requires time
strength and patience; the impatient
churner usually allows hot water to do
the work, and the result is white and

YANKEE INVENTIONS.
Chinese Newspaper in the Philip
pines Describes an Ingenious
American Continuance.

Admiral Dewey was prominent figure at
the Saratoga races. Unusually he occupied a
box. One afternoon a little party OF farmers
came up to shake hands with him, and tlere-
after, naturally, the talk turned to agricul-
ture, says the Boston Post
When | was in the Philippines, said Adj
miral Dewey, AN American resident brought
me, one day, Chinese paper. He said tnis
paper would interest me because il con-
tanned an account of an American invention.
Then, with a smile. he translated d para
graph tnat ran something like this:
The ingenuity OF the Yankee is typifed
well in a hens nest that ne ha, recently III

the laying capacity OF the hens to an IN

causes the trap door to open, wnereupou the
egg drops down into Il subterraueau cCm-

The Agricultural Engineer

Agricultural engineering is no longer
fad but a necessity AS the problems
of farm life are studied they are found
to divide into two classes, those which
pertain to the care of the crops from
their planting to maturity. and those
which have to do with the laying out of
the farm, the arrangement of buildings
drains, water supply. and disposal of
sewerage The character of the aeri-
culture of recent years has made farm
buildings almost as complex in design
and varied in use as factories, anG
there is wide field of study for i'm
provement in design and for determin-
alton of the best material TO be used in
their construction. Stable sanitation is
as necessary as house sanitation. and
the solution of ~lese problems requires
technical knowledge of a high order
The day of the agricultural engineer is
at hand, for he will find endless prob
lens to occupy his time and talents

a free circulation of air Therefore,
cut doors through as shown. These
doors are on both sides and on the back
They are hung on hinges and can be

is green and milky when husked it should

The day was when men of prominence
hesitated to give their testimonials to
proprietary medicines for publication.
This remains true today of most pro-
prietary medicines. But Peruna has
become so justly famous, its merits are
known TO so many people of high and
low stations. that no one hesitates to
see his name in print recommending
Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong endorsement.

An instance was related to me the
other day of the value of stock rails
ing and its Incidental clover rotation,
in building up the productive capaci-
ty of the land. Before the perfec-
ton of the Chicago cold storage beef
industry large herds of cattle were
driven to the Washington market
from northern Virginia farms. These
farms we're then models of fertility.
The rotation was wheat, corn, and
clover, and little, if any, commercial
fertilizer was used. The beef pro-
duced was of the finest. When Chi
cago beef began to be shipped every
where these farmers did not find it
so profitable to raise steers and drive
them to Washington. They dropped
off their live stock growing and in a
few years had to begin the use of
commercial fertilizer. These farm
lands have since steadily decreased
in productive capacity until now
most of them are worn out and will
not produce 70 bushels of wheat to
the acre.

North Carolina has never produced

not hope to produce a man like Pres

If Mr.. Joseph Cannon had remain

all this, which is true, is a beautiful
country. There is something she can
give hal the world is poor without,
something good for body and soul
that men cannot afford to lose. 1t
makes a wound to have her abused;
it makes a deeper when we know that

The order of things in North Car

North Carolina favors the rich and

ANYTHING and still be praised to the
skies. They set poor folks a bad ex-
ample that is soon followed.
Labor is cheap" Who does that
favor. the one who works or the one
who pays for work? Is cheap labor
an incentive to work? Whena good
meal costs twenty-five cents, and a
days work costs forty cents, and re-
ouires three meals, how would a man
get richJa at that rate? Poor people
can eat huckleberries and persim-
mons in North Carolina and not
work at all. For those who try hard
there is not enough possibility of
getting a good position after n is

low merit. Everybody admits that
you must have a pull" A hundred
and twenty members of the North
Carolina Legislature and sixty mem
bers of the Senate admit this fact
freely, and they say "every man has
his price"
[ believe the deficiency in mental
calibre is due to lack of nourishment.
Asceticism has been one of the
curses of the earth. Men are half
starved and don't know what is the
matter. Therefore so many saloons
and other cheap liquor shops in the
towns Of North Carolina. If the men
were well nourished they would not
be so thirsty.
Gone to make another State
rich" People are animals; they are
also much more than animals. They
go, if they see the conditions and
have the energy, they go where they
can find food.
The teachers in North Carolina

are doing their best, it seems, to
make a new and better day dawn for
the Old North State. What do they

say it is only one hundred and ten
dollars per year.
There are a few positions that pay
more. Who gets them? What the
rich folks with a pull" don't get, the
teachers from New England do. You
say you must have the best your
money will buy. Very well. This
