WATER AFFECTS BUTTER.
Valuable Information Contained In .
Recent Bulletin from the lows
Experiment Station.

All we'll water, whether it be from
shallow wells or deep wells, contains
bacteria. Water from shallow wells
is polluted<with impurities to a great
er degree than water from deep wells.
The conditions which surround shall
low wells do not guarantee creamery
pure water at different seasons OF the
year. Filthy surface water is all the
time seeping in from the sides, espe-
cially during the wet season. In the
spring of the year, or at any time dur
ing the different seasons when heavy
rains are frequent, shallow, open or
bored wells act as a receptacle for ln-
flowing, nasty surface water contain
ing great deal of organic matter, and
germs Of different species are always
sure to be present.
Besides being receptacle for such
infloWing water, shallow wells serve
in the capacity of traps for number
of animals, such as rats, mice, rabbits,
skunks, minks and squirrels. The
presence of one or more Of these dead
animals in an open well is sure to re-
suit in water strongly impregnated
with undesirable odors and a multi
tude of undesirable and putrefactive
organisms, which, when distributed
through butter, will produce no good
results If every open well was
drained and searched for such dead
animals, very few would be searched
in vain
The writer has seen water used
which was impregnated with impur-
tiles and bad odors to such an extent
that it impaired directly to the butter
this same undesirable odor and taste.
The very fact that water from certain
wells has clean appearance and pure
taste does not necessarily indicate
that it is free from undesirable germs.
Deeply drilled wells are much the best
for supplying creameries with water.
They cannot in any possible way serve
as a trap for small animals as can the
open wells Germs do not enter the
soil SO deep as to cause water to De
infested with them, SO the number OF
germs deep well water contains large
ly come from the atmosphere after
exposure to it or to unclean recep-
tacles. Prof Pammel found shallow
well water containing as high as 3D.
900 germs per cubic centimeter. Deep
well water he rarely found to contain
more than 400 germs per cubic cent?

Managing n Creamery,

The total cost of running cream
cry and marketing the product, in
Guiding interest on the investment and
provision for a sinking fund, ought not
to exceed three and half cents for
every pound of butter made. Under
favorable conditions this cost ought
to be reduced to three or even as low
as one and half cent. The smallest
practical creamery cannot be operated
for less than four or five dollars per
day. It becomes evident, then, that
the daily produce should be over $50
pounds as safe minimum. Conse-
quently no creamery should be put
into operation unless having control,
or promise, of about 300 cows.-Oscar
Err, University of Illinois.

TALK ABOUT GINSENG.
TENDER or October or I'm Feb
uary or March.

Young ginseng is very tender, but
with age it becomes more hardy and
with q little care and knowledge Of its
habits may be transplanted with
safety It should be set in the fall;
September or October are considered
the best months It can also be set in
the spring with good results during
February and March. Some prefer
growing it in thicket or the edge Of
woods, but l think it is much better
to grow it out in the open field and
provide an artificial shade. 1t cannot
stand the direct rays of the sun, and
will not grow unless shaded. A very
convenient shade is made by setting
nine-foot posts ~ feet deep in the
ground Nail heavy strips or rails to
top of posts and then cover with
brush.
The soil should be rich and loose to
insure rapid growth. The plot Of
ground should be north or northeast;
the latter being the most preferable.
It will not grow to advantage on south
or west land. have hunted the woods
in this section but never found wild
plant growing in land with that ex-
posture. To insire good drainage,
choose plot Of ground that is little
rolling, and then dig a ditch around it
from IL to 16 inches deep and about
the same in width. This will carry OFF
the water and make sure protection
against moles Beds for planting
should be about four feet wide and any
convenient length.
A coat of leaves and leaf mold
is necessary as protection during win
ter. It is estimated that on one acre
100000 plants can be set Ginseng usu-
ally comes up in May and blooms usu-
ally in June and July. BY September
there will be cluster of bright red
berries, each containing one to three
seeds. AS soon as the seeds are fully
ripe the top begins to die. The next
years bud forms on the root, but lies
dormant until the coming spring
