SHALL SMALL cREAMERiEs PAS.

We are frequently asked, is 1t ad-
visable for a small creamery to make
pastuerized butter? said NJ Morton

The only one that can answer that
question to any satisfaction is the
man who is buying the butter; II he
wants to have the product pasteur.
lied and is willing to pay the extra
cost, then 1t will pay to pasteurize
because the butter will always give
better satisfaction. II Is a fact that
the buttermaker who is pasteurizing
his cream has several advantages
over the one who is not. BY pasteur.
izing the cream and adding a starter
he secures perfect control of ferment-
atoms and he will be enabled to make
a uniform grade of butter OF course
II Is necessary that he keep a good
starter on hand all the time, he can
never depend on luck the way he
often does when he is handling raw
cream.
BY pasteurizing II is also possible
to remove taints caused by foods con-
sumed by the animal, also taints that
have been absorbed by the milk
from unfavorable surroundings. Fla
vors or taints caused by bacteria
cannot be removed by heating. One
point strongly in favor of this sys-
tenn is the keeping quality which pas
teurized butter possesses. II we de-
sire to compete for the foreign trade
We must make pasteurixed butter. A
dealer In Montreal informed me that
he would willingly pay one cent more
for pasteurized than for raw cream
butter. Another in Manchester, Eng
land, when showing me one OF the
best makes OF Danish butter said:
This is nearly perfect butter: you
would probably want higher favor.
but We are q little inclined to call
that butter strong which the Amer
leans pronounce high favor" The
requirements are gradually changing
In this country. People seem to like
pasteurized butter very well after
they have once tasted IT, One thing
is evident, the American people as
well as the English want butter with
keeping qualities and no other kind
meets the requirements as well as
pasteurized butter

IRRIGATION BY PUMPING.

IRRIGATION BY PUMPING.
Irrigation has been carried on for
centuries by means of canals in which
the water moved in response to the
law of gravity. Later air power has
been used as a means of lifting the
water and storing 1t in reservoirs
from which it could be afterwards
used on the land Some water for
such purposes has been raised BY
pumping with steam and gasolene en-
gines. Generally, this latter method
has been considered too expensive tc
be advocated for general use. But
some time ago the Arizona station
took up the problem and is solving II
in way that promises to be very
advantageous to some of our western
farmers. For pumping steam engines
are used, and the fuel is that found on
the farm--in the case of the Arizons
station 1t is tornillo wood purchasable
at $2.25 per cord. 1t may be that
such fuel is abundant in many sec
lions of the country where there are
arid wastes to irrigate. A number oil
different engines were tried and they
pumped from 600 to LOSS gallons pei
minute. The fuel cost of irrigating
one acre of land to depth of three
inches ranged from 81 to rs cents
This water was used on the alfalfa
field, and proved to be very profitable
Were 1t to be used on field Of vege
tables it would, of course, prove still
more profitable. Water is the key tc
agriculture, and its application to land
at low cost means the bringing under
cultivation of large areas that have
hitherto borne nothing but buffalo
grass and sage brush.

pail used in the experiments at the
Storrs' Experiment Station in Con-
necticut. Bulletin rs of that station
says: Two kinds Of milking pals
were used in these experiments. One
was a regular. open pail; the other
was a pail of special design. An IL
lustration Of the latter is given in the
cut below. It is an ordinary milk
pail with closely fitting cover, which
has an opening near one side into

in diameter having wire gauze OF

tom. This funnel extends slightly
above and below the cover, and slopes
somewhat toward the side of the pail.

A KNOWLEDGE OF PRINCIPLES.

A man to be successful in any
branch of plant culture must under.
stand the principles of plant growth.
Most men do not understand these
principles and whatever they do is
done either because their experience
seems to pronounce 1t good or the
course has been recommended to
quently happens that man will de-
scribe his methods to another and
that latter will adopt them to his loss.
Thus one man said that the use of pot
ash on his land would give very good
results and urged his friends to 60
and do likewise The men put on the
potash. but could get no increased
results from it, and they forthwith
declared the fertilizer worthless and
that the first man was mistaken. That
showed lack Of the understanding
OF the principles. A man that looked
into the case found that the land of
the first man was deficient In potash
while on the land of the men that had
used 1t unsuccessfully there was an
abundance for every purpose. The
men should have known the condi.
tons of their soils in the first place.
Unless a man makes systematic
study Of them he Is little likely to
learn the principles Of plant life and
nutrition. A principle is a law that
applies in all places, yet is modified
by circumstances. Thus one kind of
plant needs one kind OF pruning and
another plant needs another kind, yet
both must come under the law that
says winter pruning tends to In
crease wood production and simmer
pruning tends to increase the fruit

pAIRYlNe IN TURKEY.

Sheep fat is said to be the popular
substitute for butter In Turkey,
where little butter Of any kind is man
ufactured. What little butter is used
in the great cities, like Constantinople
is imported from Siberia. probably by
the way of the Black Sea ports. The
Turks have never tried to encourage
dairying. but 1t is said that recently
they have shown themselves a good
deal interested in the subject. A kind
of butter is made in Turkey, but II is
evidently more of a full cream soft
cheese than butter. Fermented milk
is put into a jar or a goat skin and
enough hot water Is added to raise
the temperature to 80 degrees. The
"churn" Is agitated for 40 minutes,
when butter forms, but IT is evident
that 1t has a good deal of water and
curd with 1t. The milk is more often
the product Of the sheep and goat
than Of the COW, and the result is a
very whittish looking stuff. A few
American churns have been exhibited
and shown in actual work. The Turks
have expressed their establishment
and delight at seeing yellow butter
turned out of the American churns
In less than ten minutes.
