WHAT HE LEARNED.
Quail on Toast Was Not Such nm I'M
common Delicacy as He Had
Supposed.

In the wire grass region of Georgia quail
are very abundant, and are known to the ma
tives as cartridges, says the Philadelphia
Public Ledger
Recently one of the south Georgia "crack-
ers" sold off lot of turpentine land and de
cided to indulge himself in a trip to far off
New York while his money was still in hand.
Once i'll the amazing metropolis, there was
another indulgence he was determined on.
Delmonico'S was a name that had long ago
tickled his fancy, and quail on toast was
high bred dish that he had long yearned to
know personally.
So to Delmonico's he hied himself, and
there ordered the delectable bit. 1t came
he eyed it severely, then tasted, finally
samplng thoroughly, But his after com
ment on the feast savored of that sad knowl-
edge which borders close to disgust
"Wall eff hadn't come to New York Ia
never knowed that quail on toast warnt a
blamed thing but Glynn county pa'tridgeS

Auct;op Habit Doesn't Paw.

What do you think of the. practice
of buying stock or farm utensils at
public auction? I believe it takes a
man of pretty level head to do that
successfully 1 never make practice
of doing so myself. l know of men
who are always on hand at such sales.
They do not go because they want
anything in particular, but they al
most always carry home lot of old
stuff that they never will use and
without which they would be better
off. The auction" habit is like some
others I know-it grows on man and
does him little good.-Farm Journal

interferes with the arching of the
spine. but does force the cow to draw
back instead of pushing ahead; thus
the gutter back of the cow catches
the filth and the floor remains clean.
There is no rule to give for the ex-
act placing of the structure, as diff
ferent breeds of cattle differ SO in
height and length; however, piece No.
2 should be located just back of upper
point of shoulders, and from one and
one-half to two inches above the back.
This gives chance for free movement
and in no way interferes with the COM
fort of the cow. My cows are Jerseys,
and frame is just 20 inches from
stanchions. No. is block on
which to fasten No. 2. No. is the
upright which should extend to the
joint above, and there be fastened. No.

frame, and should be nailed very firm,

can. No. is the gutter Orange Judd

The Mixed Milk Ration.

Roughage is nearly the same every
where, corn silage, cornstalSs and hay
The question is what to use for grain
ration to be fed with the above kinds
of roughage to produce the most milk.
Most farmers have corn and oats,
which they grind and feed mixed with
a little bran; this does not furnish the
most desira BILE nor the cheapest ration
when production is considered. Leave
out the corn entirely, as worse than
useless, and substitute cettonseed
meal, even at $50 per ton. By feeding
four pounds bran, four pounds oats
and two pounds cottonseed meal, with
silage, cornstalks and hay, or even
without the hay, you will get results
that will be surprising.-Troy IN. "

Pear Growing Popular.

Every class of fruit has it's day with
the amateur. Just now the pear is on
the rising tide of popularity and is
being doomed by the nursery agent.
Car loads of this delicious fruit are
shipped into the north annually, and
the home grower who has fruit to sell
has no trouble in realizing good prices.
If you have rolling land, with good fair
drainage and clay soil, and there are
a number of such locations in the CEN
trail west, you may be safe in trying
few. But for the northern half of the
belt or on low black soils, beware.
Under such conditions the pear blight
has blasted more than one mans hopes
after years of patient care and wait

MAKING GOOD BUTTER.
All Authorities Are Agreed That
Success Depends on Proper
Ripening of Cream.

The all-important question of the
day with creamery and dairymen is
how to obtain a uniform and fine fla
vored butter. Nearly all investiga-
tors agree that the secret lies in the
proper ripening of the cream; and
when we read of the tons of low-grade
butter brought into the markets daily
all owing to the fact that the negli-
gence or ignorance as to the proper.
treatment of the cream lies at the root
of this great fault, it appears to be a
point worthy of consideration.
To state the subject of starters
plainly and intelligently, it is neces-
sary to take the fundamental princi-
pie of the ripening of cream into con-
sideration. The ripening of cream in
cludes two features upon which the
quality of the butter largely depends
These are flavor and texture, The eff
fects of ripening with starters are far
more marked upon the flavor of but
ter than upon the texture, for it is
during this process that the character
istic flavors are developed. Cream
ripening is merely a fermentation
process caused by bacterial growth.
This growth is controlled by tenn
perature by which a rise from 60
degrees Fahrenheit, and not to ex-
coed 100 degrees Fahrenheit, induces
growth and develops immense num-
bers of bacteria; while lowering the
temperature retards growth. The ac-
ton of these germs in cream results in
the conversion of part of the milk
sugar into Tactic acid, and slight for
nation of carbonic acid gas and few
other volatile constituents not def
nitely known.-Midland Farmer.

With a little practice, manure may

a block is fastened to the runners be-

When you are considering the con-
