Picking Out a Cow.

l have first and last picked out a
good many cows and have sometimes
made expensive mistakes. have also
frequently succeeded in getting hold
OF very good dairy animal. have
learned few things about picking
out COWS that are of value to me and
ray be to someone else. One of the
things is that where COW can be pur.
chased in the environs of town it
is possible to learn something about
Fer from neighbors. 1 frequently get

But |, knowing that a good COW is
worth a dozen times fair COW and
a hundred times a poor COW, do not

some of the milk home to test. This
do by setting it overnight in a
straight glass. The method is little
crude, and better way would be to
use Babcock tester. but the results

count for little more than this test in

Planting Early Potatoes.

fof early potatoes we plow the land
as soon as the frost is out, then mark
out rows about three feet apart with
the plow. making the furrow about
seven inches deep. When the pot:-
toes are dropped we again take the
plow and cover them by throwing up
a large ridge similar to sweet pota-
to ridge. In about 9 or 4 weeks after
planting we run over it with a lever
narrow. with the teeth down, thus
making it level and in this way the
ground is not as liable to wash. P,,.
tatoes planted this way are secure
against the freezes which are liable
to come in the last OF March and early
April. The ridges can be leveled off
after the freezing season has passed.
We generally plant about the first q!
March.-R. II. Kline, johnson County.

A Whole Milk Starter

AS good results can be obtained
from whole milk starter as from skim
milk starter. In my opinion the skim
milk starter is the safest to use, First
for the reason that after it becomes
thick the skim-milk starter will show
whey sooner than the whole milk aud
warns You Of the danger of it's becom
ing overripe; and, second, any cf
fiavors or defects are more easily OBJ
served in a skim milk starter because
the cream in the whole milk starter
gives the whole milk starter a creamy
flavor, which is rather catchy and
agreeable to taste and has tendency
OF covering UP some of the bad fiavors,
The skim-milk starter is also so much
smoother and breaks up so much more
easily and does not have Jumps as is
the case in whole milk starter.-P H

Cash Value of inspection.

Minnesota was one of the first
states in the Union to establish a
system, of dairy inspection. Here in.
spectors were armed with authority
to. prosecute creamery operators,
cheese factory managers and dairy
owners who did not clean. up their
premises and keep them in accordance
with the state regulations. During
the last four years the reputation of
Minnesota butter has been such that
much of it has sold at premium on
the general market. In four years
this premium has amounted to 81 600.
900, which is all surplus to the Min
nesota farmers. This should be a
lesson to the farmers in other states
to support the efforts OF the state
dairy inspectors in securing the hisn.
est class of dairy products.

Bog Butter,

Samples of bog butter" are to be
found in various museums in Scot.
land and Ireland, and some of these
samples are known to be at least $50
years old. Analyses made in Great
Britain show these samples to be real
butter.
All the bog buffers contained glyce,
inc. proving their animal origin, and
their analyses and physical properties
show them to be simply butter which
has been kept for long time in un.
usual circumstances. The ubiquitous
red hairs tell tale. The suggestion
is made that the milk was churned in
skin-a very old process still prac
tlced by the Arabs. Far from object
ing to the presence of hairs in his
butter, the old-time gourmet seems tc
have regarded them as necessary
adjunct, as the Roman did the flavor
OF pitch in his wine. In the Ulste,
Journal, Vol. VII, the following quota
ton is given from the Irish Hudibras
Great heaps of thick three-corned
bread,
And hairy butter van did lead"
Bog butter is usually found packed
in barrels or kegs followed out of a
single piece of wood with a cover cut
from another piece of wood, and some
times with a bottom of skin with the
hair attached.
Sometimes the butter is wrapped u,
in coarse cloth, the bark of trees OF
PUSHES, and one sample so wrapped ur
still retains on the surface OF the but
ter the print Of the hand of the lady
who had shaped it.
1t is not absolutely certain why the
packages of butter were placed in
boys.
Three possible reasons are suggest
ed-O accident, ca that strong
taste due to the coarse heritage the
COWS fed on was got rid of by the proc.
ess. and CD preservation. The follow.
ing quotation from the Irish Hudi.
bras seems 10 confirm either or both
OF the second and third reasons:

A HEAVY Fine,

Under the Elkins law, any railroad
company which pays rebates in any
form, or any shipper who accepts
them, is liable to fine of from 81, 900
to 100000. upon conviction. 1t also
prohibits the carrying of freight at
less than the published tariffs. The
Interstate Commerce Commission is
empowered to detect and prosecute
violators of this statute. President
Knapp of the Commission states that
since this law was passed, rebate pay
ing has been as rare as forgery.

A)RI((lSIUREi;
Prepare the Land Well.


Every year we see farmers here
nd there obtaining yields of crops
ar above the average for the country
>r lor their community. There are
arlous causes for this, one of the
most common being the better con-
Htlon in which these crops are put
hto the ground. An excuse that is
cry often given for the practice Of
.l1pshop methods in seeding is that
he land is in such shape that a good
OBJ cannot be done.
There are sometimes conditions OF
Weather that Justify such excuses but
n the main they are not well founded.
Inc seed bed could be put in good

ground unstirred and the balance in a
poorly pulverized condition, much of
we seed left on top OF the ground, is
L. any wonder that we have low

IL goes without saying that more
work to a given amount of ground is
required to put the crop in in good
shape than to do the seeding in
slip-shod manner, but it does not re.
lulre any more work in proportion to
the amount of crop secured. On new
lands and in favorable seasons fairly
good results may be obtained by
spreading the operations out over
