The churn can be held accountable
Tor bad flavor in more than little
creamery and dairy butter, says L. w.
Lightly in National Stockman. 1t is
not an easy matter to keep the churn
sweet and clean, as every farmers wife
who does so knows, especially if she
uses the old paddle or dash churn or
possibly one of those newfangled con-
traptions with unwashable wheels and
fx1ngs on the inside
A plain box or barrel churn is used
In nearly all creameries and should be
used in all dairies where butter is
made. The churning is done by con-
cussion, the cream being thrown from
end to end or from side to side, and
there being no place for the cream to
lodge or stick all the cream Is handled,
and the churning is most exhaustive.
Besides, this form of churn is most
convenient to remove the butter and
buttermilk and comparatively easy to
keep clean If proper methods are used.
TO begin with, the churn should be
made Of we'll seasoned white oak, per-
fectly smooth ON the inside. Just as
soon as it begins to decay throw it
away and buy new one; saving here
does not pay. To keep the churn sweet
and clean do the washing as soon as
the butter and buttermilk are re-
moved. First rinse thoroughly with
cold water, then wash completely with
hot water, using good stiff, long
bristle brush with bristles in one end
to get we'll into the corners. Now
drain out and brush all the hooks and
inside surface with fine salt, then rinse
again with boiling hot water (remem-
ber that is PIP degrees). A steam bath
with the last rinsing is ideal If you
have steam. Now drain and turn the
opening of the churn downward so no
germ laden dust may settle in and
spoil the next churning.
The churn should be we'll aired and
dried before the cover is replaced. Be-
fore you put the next batch Of cream
into the churn have your smeller in
good order and test the odor of the
churn, and If it is not sweet and pleas
ant do not put drop Of cream in until
it does smell right.
The Good Dairy Cow.
A good dairy COW Is spare in flesh.
rather bony frame, good hips, ribs wide
apart, so that two fingers may easily
be put between them, thighs cut out,
good barrel and good udder, says H. G.
Manchester in Rural New Yorker. Her
feed goes to milk, and she is very
persistent mixer, not wanting to go
dry at all. She gives 20 to 33 pounds
daily of rich milk and keeps right at it
ii you only give her half chance She
weighs not over 100 pounds and gives
her weight at least nine times over
every year. The illustration shows the

The fireworks feature this season

MIlNN1ESOIA'S GREAT FAIR.
The Forty-Fifth Annual Show Will Open on Au-
gust 20, and Closes on September 3.
Holiday
FareRa Some Things to

With the near approach of the open
ing day of the Minnesota State Fair
of 1904 it becomes evident to those
familiar with the situation that the
fair will be even larger in every de-
partment than the record breaker of
1908. ...
The best information available
shows there will be more cattle than
last year, in spite of the competition
of the St. Louis show few weeks
later. All the great show herds which
will be at st. Louis will appear previ-
Ously at the Minnesota Fair, and the
winners at St. Louis will wear Min
nesota blue ribbons. Horses and 9TH
er animals will be equally numerous.
For horses something new has been
provided this year. This is a great
tent in which all the horses will be
judged and where the exhibitions of
carriage horses and other special
classes will be held. The tent is a
great circus affair, about 300 feet

Dried Blood For Calves.

With the seventy head Of young
calves under experiment at the Kansas
station during the past year there has
not been a single case Of scours that
dried blood has failed to check. In
feeding dried blood a teaspoonful at
a feed is great plenty. This may be
gradually Increased to tablespoonful
at feed. To prevent the dried blood
from settling to the bottom of the pail,
where the calf will be unable to get it,
it may be stirred in the milk while the
calf shrinking, or the milk and blood
may be fed Immediately after being
thoroughly mixed.

PROBLEM OF DRY FARMING
Agricultural Department Has Scheme for RaisinE Plants With
 eut use of Water.

1t is probable that Tn the near futurs It will be possible 10 raise good crops without either natural or artificial irr. gation. AS is apparent to everyons even the mott liberal system of irriga tion reclamation will not exhaust tn: available arid and semiarid regions o, the west, as even when irrigation has been applied to it's utmost limits ther will remain some millions of acres q fertile land tat adjoin these reclaimed wastes. The lands lie principally be. tween the one hundredth and the ons hundred and twentieth meridians and comprise areas over which there is g deficient rainfall, with no available neighboring sources of supply which might be brought to them even by ca nals.
 But the department of agriculture haa other resources to fall back upon. Ii the customary crcps require water why not develop new crops that can be grown dry? This, in substance, is the problem the bureau of plant industry has set fci itself. Dry land farming or "dry farm ing'' is the name of this unique scheme. Just now the world is being searched for industrial plants that can sustain life and mature crops with minimum of water and an elaborate life study of All such r1'~ --4 5. --,%~e

GENIUS IN THE BUcKETsHoP.
New York Operator Got Onto Fast Wire and It Brought Him

sTt takes two wide open eyes to keeI the sharps from eating you up in this business nowadays,'' said the bucket shop man. relates the New York Sun "only yesterday stopped a gap that was costing me money every day we had any activity in the market.
 You see, our Rochester office gets it's quotations by a direct wire from New York, while our Buffalo office is on a circuit of a New York Chicago wire, and Is about two minutes slower. We have q direct wire from the Rochester office to the Buffalo office. as we'll as long-dis- tance phone connection.

This puzzled us for while. for Rochester was taking all the profit out of our Buffalo sheets

Legends of the Red Men

Not only is the Garden of the Gods a place of wonderment in itself, but to 1t is added the charm of environment, A delightful walk or drive brings the visitor to the springs of Manitou, once presided over by the Great Spirit of the Indian. To these delicious foun- tains came Cheyenne and Arapahoe with their offerings of beads and wam- pum; here, in all the gorgeous colors of their nations, they gathered to per- form their sacred dances. while the sombre canyon reflected the flames of the campfire and tossed from cliff to cliff the weird echo of their songs
 Here. also. came Ouray, chief of the Uncompahgres, who liked not the garh of the paleface, but who wooed and won the fair Chepita while he wore saddle blanket and a look of woe. "- From "The Garden of the Gods" by Anna s. Harlan, in Four-Track News

Of ali the neeessl.les to life, you can live longer without any. oI them than air. Impure air and darLened apart- ments are the cause of an un.old number. of deaths annually. You know that on a sunless day, with d close atmosphere, you are out of sorts at the best, if you are lucky enough to escape physical ail- ments, while you are mentally de- pressed. But cnce let the sun shine brightly and clear the atmosphere how different, how much better you feel in every way, says a household exchange.
 When you are tempted to close up the house as tight as it can be made, re- member these things, and don't do it, especially at night. Keep the windows in the sleeping apartments open enough to at least give you sufficient fresh air. A cold room docs not indicate that it is healthy. far from it. A sleeper will soon breathe up all the fresh air in a room, and if there is not constant sup ply of fresh air, he simply breathes over and over again the poison thrown off by his lungs. And the breathing of this vitiated air only tends to lower the tenn perature and vitality of the system so that it is not as capable of withstanding the rigors of winter. Fresh air is heat ing to the body; in fact, upon it depends the combustion of the fuel in the body and by which we are kept alive, which we should always. bear in mind.
 Even with open windows during the night. bed chambers and bed clothing should be thoroughly aired each morning and allowed all the sunlight possible. During sleep, not only do the lungs throw off more poison than during the day, but it is especially so with the body in its relaxed condition and when the pores are all open. During sleep the body should have plenty of covering; better to have too much than not enough, both to induce deep slumber and to keep the skin moist and the pores open that they may have the opportunity to rid the system of poison. Bear in mind that death would follow the closing of the pores.
 Fresh air in cold weather will cost money az more fuel will be required, but it will be economy, for if it does hot save sickness and doctor bills and which it most likely will do, you will feel bet ter and the stronger for it.
