Feeding Color into Butter,

The color of butter is mainly deter
mined by the breed or individuality of
the COW, writes w. H. Jordan Of the
Geneva a.. ~ experiment station III
Rural New Yorker. So far as l have
observed, the butter from Guernseys
carries the highest natural color, with
the Jerseys following as close sec
ond, and the uncolored butter from
both of these breeds has a much higher
color than that from either the Hol-
stems or Ayrshires. Feed does haye
some influence. For instance, the but.
ter fat from the same individual COW
carries a higher color when she is on
good pasture than when she is eating
dry feed in the barn. 1t is practically
impossible, in my judgment, SO to feed
certain individual cows or the animals
Of certain breeds as to give their but
ter fat the depth Of yellow color which
has come to be regarded as desirable
by the American public. In fact, the
winter butter from such herds of Hol-
stems and Ayrshires as l have OBJ
served would be practically white, no
matter what the ration might be.

school Grounds.

Whatever leads a boy to assemble
the comforts and eleganeies of life
around his habitation tends to increase
local attachment and render domestic
life more delightful, thus not only aug
menting his own enjoyment, but
strengthening his patriotism and max
ing him better citizen There is no
enjoyment or recreation which affords
the mind greater or more permanent
satisfaction than that of cultivating a
taste for the beautiful in nature.
Therefore the school ground that has
natural and instructive groups Of
plants and vines will influence the
minds of the pupils. 1t assists the
child to observe and cultivates within
him taste for the beautiful 1t re-
fines him so that he will let others par
take of his enjoyment. 1t stimulates
civic pride, promotes love of home and
country and thereby assists in making
him better citizen. Plants, rocks, wa
ter trees, have an educational value
aside from the subject itself that slim
ulates reasoning from effect to cause,
d power of analysis. a tenderness and
susceptibility of mind. habits of neat
ness. and. In addition. have value in
teaching the natural sciences.

The farmer can we'll afford to pat
tern after the manufacturer in the
matter of being vigilant and inventive
in the way of trying to utilize the
wastes of his business waste acres of
land which produce nothing but weeds,
waste of the fertilizers in the barn
yards, waste weeds in the fields, waste
along the line fences, waste for want
Of little thing, waste in granaries
and cribs from leaks and vermin,
waste in keeping and milking cows
which only just barely pay for the food
which they eat, waste in buying on
credit and running up store bills, waste
in poorly stacked hay, wasted fodder
in the cornfelds, stacks, or. rather
piles, of good straw spoiled for want
of proper stacking, waste in burning
green wood and Juggling water where
needed, in trying to make first quality
beef and pork out of poorly ,Sred and
often poorly fed steers and hogs, and
the waste which is inevitably assoc
ciated with man being a little be-
hind with his work. There is a great
field for work along all these lines, for
it is the dollar saved as well as the
dollar earned which has much to do
with farm profits. The manufacturer
keeps the sharpest sort OF an outlook
for the wastes of his h14sinesS and is
ever alert to adopt methods for the
utilization of waste products The tail
ings Of the gold and silver mines, the
possibilities and economic value Of city
garbage. the Stag piles of the blast fur
mace, the sawdust from the sawmills,
the oHal Of slaughter houses, the grease
in the wool of the sheep, have made
enormous fortunes for the men who
We're wise enough to take hold of these
heretofore waste products, while cot
ton seed, once used as a fertilizer alone,
coal tar ana the byproducts of corn
used in the glucose factories represent
millions of money invested and other
millions in annual dividends. A man
IS always well and periodically en-
gagged when he devises a method to
prevent or utilize waste, and no
where in the whole country is there
larger field for effort along this line
than on the farms of the country. The
wastes on many a western farm would
constitute a good years income for the
small farmer in Vermont.

One feature of the dairy that has
often been mismanaged is to discard
a heifer because she does not do well
the first year. She may do better the
next year, and as much must not be
expected of wo-year-old heifer as of
three and four year old cows When

The various species of naples, in

If it is necessary to resort to arti-

have become dormant after the falling
of the leaves they can be trimmed and
thoroughly sprayed with a strong kero-

Roam IMPROVEMENT.

Wherever dirt roads have TO be work
ed and cared for-and that is through
out most of the rural districts of the
country at large-there may be noted
very marked Improvement of methods
as compared with the old way. A more
intelligent and permanent plan of OPP
Grafton is being followed The road
boss this year is no longer undoing and
tearing to pieces what his predecessor
did last year, the absolute need of
thorough drainage of the highway is
being generally recognized, and the
value of drain tile for this purpose is
being more and more appreciated; there
is apparent much more economical
and effective expenditure of the road
funds, and it is really becoming the
CUSTOM now to expect and demand a
fun days work for days pay-in a
word, the people are taking a much
greater interest in the highways than
ever before and are at last waking up
to the important relation which good
roads bear to the economy of farm
life; the rural mail delivery system is
doing not little to spur the farmers
up, for the government puts the mat
ter to them fiat-'no roads, no mail. !"
Under the new method of caring for
earth roads it Is becoming quite a
common thing to find farmers dragging
and keeping the highways along their
respective farms in fine shape and do
ing it all without public pay just for
the pleasure and pride which they take
in having good roads associated with
their farms. This is one of the most
encouraging signs of agricultural prog
ress to be observed in the country TO-
day.

Cream ripening is one of the most
important features of buttermaking,
writes Mrs. u. e. lockwood in Ma
tional Stockman. Good butter cannot
be made from poor cream, and great
deal of cream is spoiled in the interim
between skimming and churning Cold
weather ripening and hot weather
ripening are two entirely different
propositions In winter, when bacterial
growth is slow, cream must be warm
ed artificially to induce these organ
isnls to increase sufficiently to ripen it.
When the cream turns bitter, yet does
not sour the farmers wife thinks it
very strange, yet the cause is merely
the cold weather or the cold atmos-
phare Of the milk room.
The cream should be brought into a
warm room and kept at temperature
Of GO to 70 degrees for twenty-four
hours before churning, when it will be
found at about the right stage of ripen-
ing for best and most complete separa-
ton. Cream held too long before churn-
ing becomes off favored and bitter for
the same reason. 1t is a mistake to
hold it more than three or four days.
No matter if the churning is small,
keep the regular intervals and do the
churning twice week. The butter
will be of finer quality than il it is
held longer.
In very cold weather it is sometimes
wen to use a starter to induce proper
ripenlng. A quart of buttermilk saved
each time usually contains sufficient
tactic acid to sour the batch of sweet
cream nicely, Or a glass can may be
filed with new milk and allowed to
stand in a warm place until sour, this
to be used in the same manner The
can must be sterilized with boiling wa
ter before filing.
