A bulletin of the Connecticut expert
ment station says: During the five
years covered by these records the va
riety and amounts of food and the care
of the herd have been much the same.
The increase in the net profits from
$123 loss in 1899 to $21.64 profit in
1903 must be attributed to the selection
of animals better suited to dairy pur-
poses.

The railways of the country are vital
ly interested in the matter of improved
highways. Bad roads disturb the even
and normal movement of farm crops
to market, piling up acres of empty
cars in the yards during period Of
bad roads and oyertaxing the carrying
capacity of the roads at others. Bad
roads also tend to cause marked fiuc-
tuations in the market value of farm
products.

known more than one flock of five dol

Practical Hints ON Planting. Ferti.
lining and watering.

ANA-ss~ A1AtA "
John Thorpe, horticu,turist and the
designer of the famous Wooded Is
land at the Worlds Columbian ex-
position, contributes these hints to the
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune:
For seeds the ground should be rather
dry and crumbly and quite smooth
The smallest seeds should be barely
covered. Seeds the size of those of the
radish require half IN inch of soil over
them. Peas and beans and the like
need from one p two inches. and this
includes cucumbers and melons. The
larger the seed the deeper it should go
Potatoes in dry ground should be
set five inches deep.
Remember that everything must be
made firm By tamping, rolling or
treading
FertiIixing.
SCOT from soft coal is worth 2
cents pound as a fertilizer. 1t is also
of great value as destroyer of in
sects.
Wood ashes are just as valuable, be-
ing rich in the potash without which
few plants will live at all
Slaked lime is most useful. Mixed
with small quantities of paris green
or london purple it kills noxious in
sects.
The SCOT, the ashes or the lime can
be sprinkled over the ground just
enough to cover it when a good rak-
ing will be all that is needed. 1t can
be used at any time.
Manure from the chicken yard or
pigeon loft must be mixed with five
times its bulk of common garden soil
and allowed to stand several days be-
fore it is applied.
watering.
The nightly sprinkling, which merely
moistens the surface of the ground, is
likely to do more harm than good. as
it coaxes the roots to the surface,
where the hot sun can do them serious
HARM
The proper way to water is to give
the soil a thorough drenehing not Of
tener than twice a week. This makes
the roots follow the moisture deep into
the ground, where they can do the most

rarely are the country roads of the

much pleasure using them in auto

Milk and Butter Hints

The thick. stringy condition some
times noticed in cream is usually due
to the presence of what are known as
Shiny or ropy bacteria, says Hoard's
Dairyman They produce ropiness in
milk that may be all the way from a
slight viscosity to milk that is so thick
it will not pour out of dipper. When
such conditions occur there is but one
way of stopping the trouble, and that
is by liberal use of hot water and
washing soda. The water must be
scalding, and all utensils that are USED
in handling the milk must be thorough
~ cleaned with brush. hot water and
soda

Hand Separator Cream.

1t has been well said that, consider
ing the small volume of gathered cream
compared with the whole milk system,
there seems little reason in every farm
err not having perfect arrangement
for keeping it, But it must be acknowl-
edged that 50 far as we are able TO
learn by far the greater part of the
cream from hand separatovs Is still
kept in cellars with vegetables and all
kinds of things that have an odor that
is not an addition to the flavor OF the
cream.-FarIners Advocate.
Adding Butter Color to Salt.
Butter color can often be mixed with
the salt and made to color the butter
satisfactorily, The evenness in which
the color Is added In this way depends
great deal on the size of the gran
ules when you add the salt. First mix
the color thoroughly with the salt, then
add this colored salt to the granular
butter in the usual way and by allow
ing 1t to stand between workings the
butter may be evenly colored. Work
ing number of times, but little at
each time, is better than trying to do
all the working at once.-Hoards Dali
ryman
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1905-05-11
washing the Butter.

Wash the butter with water at as
high a temperature as possible and
have the butter remain hard. Too cold
water tends to chill the granules and
so the salt will not dissolve, causing
notified butter. In the winter 1t is wise
to warm the salt before putting it in
the butter Usually two washings are
sufficient Always use enough water
to float the butter. Too much washing
will injure the flavor Iii any event
the buttermilk must be washed out.

RANGE FINDERS INSTEAD OF GUNS
IN THE FIGHTING TOPS HEREAFTER

New York, June 14-Orders We're re
ceived at the New York navy yard to-
day from the navy department at
Washington to remove the guns from
the fighting tops of the battIeship Ala
bama- Orders have been issued also
that the guns are not TO be replaced on
the fighting tops of the battleship Indi-
ana, which is being repaired. Il is re-
ported that the guns are to be replaced
by TanCC-fiinders- and that similar or
ders were TO be issued regarding other
battIeships. The news of the victory of
Admiral Togo in the battle of the Sea
of Japan is said TO have Influenced the
decision to put range-finders In place
Of the e-pounders which have occu-
pied the tops
The fate of the battle WAS decided
by the superiority Of the work of the
japanese gunners while the ships were
still at long range. The department
was informed that the aim of the Jap
aneSe gunners was due to the efficiency
of the men with the rauge-finders
whom the Japanese had placed in the
fighting tops. and were thus able to
pick up the Russian ships at a far
