Water for Dairy Use.

The makers Of Eutter need to be
very careful about the kind of water
they use in washing the butter and in
washing the churns and other uten-
sils. We have called attention fire.
quently to the fact that much of the
off flavor in butter has been found
to be due to the bad way in which
butter was worked. At one large
creamery it was found that the water
was being taken from a large tank
which. on investigation, was discov-
cred to be very foul The discarding
of this water supply and the securing
of pure water resulted in very de-
eided improvement the quality Of
the butter. The Ohio State Univer-
sity reports that recently one of the
dairy experts connected with that uni
yersity was called to Greenville, Ohio
by a creamery company, to determine
the cause of the butter rapidly de-
teriorating. They had concrete
building, we'll ventilated, we'll lighted,
and clean. The water for washing the
butter was taken from a we'll 1873 feet
oSSpS u1ASOA Ala oOllO lOCh. 1lS water
was found very hard. The dairy ex-
pert had an analysis made of the
water, and it was discovered that
there were eighteen hundred germs
in single drop, or thirty-five thou
sand in a cubic centimeter. Another
well nearby was tested, and, although
this we'll was only fifteen feet deep,
it was found that the water only con-
tanned two per cent as many germs
as that found in the deep we'll water.
A third well was tested, this third
well having been sunk to a depth of
80 feet in the same strata of rock as
the first; the water contained a very
large percentage of bacteria. This is
contrary to the usual experience. In
most cases the deep wells produce wa
ter. almost entirely free from bacteria.
The case in Ohio illustrated the fact
that no rule can be laid down as to
the purity Of the water supply, but
that each man must know for himself
that the water he uses is pure.

Private Customers for Farm Butter.
In building up a private trade for
farm butter, it is necessary to have
enough cows SO that the butter sup
ply can be kept up summer and win
ter. The farmer that has only a few
cows and produces, a large quantity
OF milk in the summer, and almost
none in the winter, cannot expect to
build up profitable trade. He will
be able to produce butter only when 1t
is cheapest and when there is large
amount of very cheap butter on the.
market. There will be then little in
ducement for customers to seek his
butter. He will also be producing but
ter at a time of the year when all
conditions are against its keeping quail
tiles, on account of the temperature
being so high that all germs multiply
with great rapidity. The farmer that
wishes to build up such a trade must
provide for as large a quantity of milk
IN the winter as in the summer. He
can then hold his customers the year
round. He can also make better
prices with them than he otherwise
would; for he can fix uniform price
for summer and winter. This, how
ever, can be done only when the buyer
and seller are willing to act fairly.
The producer must not try to sell his
butter elsewhere in the winter, be-
cause he can get little more for it:
nor must the buyer try to buy else
where in the summer, because he can
get his butter at a lower price. Some
farmers that have built up this kind
OF trade, instead of making uni
form price that will hold throughout
the year. base their price on the Ell
gin market report. There are many
farmers in Illinois, Wisconsin and the
Eeighboring states that have private
arrangement to supply their customers
with butter at several cents above the
Elsin quotation. One Wisconsin man
gets at least five cents above the Ell.
gin price and his customers are al
ways glad to receive his butter. That
is because he has studied buttel-mak-
ing for several years and always pro-
duces fine quality. His butter is
never "off' flavor. His customers are
willing to pay him more than the
market price for the satisfaction they
experience in always having high
quality of butter. It is at this point
that profit comes in having private
customers for farm butter. There is
no disadvantage in farmer securing
private customers, if he produces but
ter of such quality that it will bring
only the current price. In that case
it would be better for him to turn il
over to the corner grocer.

Utilizing Old Straw and Hay.

There are few farms. comparatively
speaking, where straw and hay DO not
go to waste each year. In travelling
through the countrywe see here and
there straw piles and hay stacks
most of the latter rotting in sloughs
and marshes-that are neither used
for feed nor bedding. Although this
Is the case, cattle have to wade
through filth and wet manure in the
yards all winter whereas the straw
and poor hay could be put to good use
as bedding. All such litter and rough
age, not fit for feeding purposes.
should be scattered in the yards and
will soon be trampled into the manure
by the cattle. In this way deal of
valuable fertilizing material may be
produced, and 1t is far better to get
rid of the trash than let it lie around
and rot to make the farm untidy and
unsightly.
1t has been found by experiments
carried out by Mumford and others
that cattle do not thrive so we'll in
muddy yards as they do in those kept
clean. Mud is to be got rid of by
draining the yards and having them
sloped so as to 'shed" water, also by
spreading with cinders or some other
dry material. On such yards the
straw and old hay or other trash are
used to the best advantage. Straw
thrown into the mud will but increase
the flthiness Of the condition as it
rots, and such conditions are almost
sure to set up foot trouble among the
feeding cattle. On the dry ground Of
the yards, and especially in covered
yards which are now coming into use
here and there, and are in general use
in Great Britain, straw and. old hay
furnish comfortable beds for the cattle
and at the same time save the LIQUID
and solid excreta, SO that the entire
mass Of bedding becomes well-made
manure, which can be hauled out and
plowed under in spring or made into
compost heaps to be turned over and
'rotted for use us top-dressing for grain
or. root crops or to be spread by the
machine on the pastures and mead
ows. In using straw and hay ia this
way enough Of it should be thrown
into the yards each week to keep them
comparatively dry, and the manure
should never show as q wet, oozing
mass under foot, but at all times be
smothered ia dry bedding. Evidently
the covered feeding yard Il the best
place to properly utilize the straw Is
the manner alluded to.

TO LEASE GAS WORKS.
Philadelphia City Council Thwarts thu
Wishes of the People.

Philadelphia City Council Thwarts the
Wishes Of the People.
Philadelphia May 19.-Amid scenes
of disorder unprecedented in the an
nails of Philadelphia's legislative body.
the city councils last night voted TO
lease the city's gas works to the Unit
ed Gas Improvement Company for a
term of seventy-five years for the total
sum of $25.O00.000, the money to be
paid in various amounts before the
end of 1907. The council chambers
and committee rooms were crowded
with excited citizens, protesting
against the lease to the United Gas
Improvement Company from l p. M.
when the proceedings opened in the
finance committee room, until after )
p. M, when select council passed the
bill and sent 1t to the mayor.
The climax was reached when the
vote in common council was an
nounced after three hours of debate.
The moment President George c. Nc
Curdy, of the common council an
nounced the vote a great uproar was
started in the gallery. which was
crowded to the door. From all over
the gallery came Kisses and cries OF
thieves" The outburst was some
what startling to the presiding officer,
who made a vain effort to quell 1t.
Finally he sent for a squad of police
to clear the gallery. which started the
disorder anew. The crowd continued
to hiss and call the councilman thieves
and other names until the police arriv-
ed and started to clear the gallery. AS
the president moved out they sang I'M
complimentary songs. In clearing the
gallery there We're several clashes be-
tween the police and some OF the spec
tators, but no one was hurt.
All thru the session of the common
council there was disorder. In select
council there We're so many policemen
on duty that no one dared to interrupt
the proceedings. There was neither a
cheer nor hiss when the bill passed
that body.
Mayor Weaver has announced him
self as unalterably opposed to the lease
and in favor of postponement of the
whole question until 1907, when the
first ten years of the present thirty
years lease to the United Gas I'M
provement Company will expire. At
that time the city has the right to
take back the works on payment to
the gas company of the amount OF
money expended in improvements.
Mayor Weaver is expected to veto the
bill, and in that event both chambers
will probably pass it over his Veto
