On her trunk, within reach of the

taking cover, lets it go down the

stairs gives her courage, and with
the other covers in her hand she
starts down the stairs. When she has
descended two or three stairs she lets
go another cover and makes another

reached the foot of the stairs, when.
after opening the kitchen door very

Shaping and HEADING Trees.

Ideas and traditions with respect to
methods of cultivation and manage
ment, as well as varieties, were for
merly brought from the eastern states.
where conditions are very different
from our own. The Horticultural So
ciety began agitating the question Of
adapting methods of shaping fruit
trees and of pruning to our own local
conditions. Members of the society
began experimenting along this line
and reporting their results at the
meetings. Early copies of the reports
of this body show that for series OF
years attention was fastened largely
upon the question of adopting low
heads and dense branching system
for their fruit trees. AS result a
new system of shaping the tree. better
adapted to our conditions, has been
developed. In the eastern states, with
a maritime climate, trees were given
high heads, so the ground under the
trees would warm up and SO grasses,
or other crops. could be harvested
under their branches; the trees were
given open tops. and were freely
pruned, so as to admit sunlight and
air to ripen and to color up the fruit.
AS opposed to this we have gradually
adopted in the west. where our sun
light is intense. low heads. to shade
the trunk of the tree and the ground
under It; we have adopted straight.
central trunk. with dense lateral limbs
as a protection to the tree and its
fruit. Earlier fruiting and closer
planting have been adopted as better
suited TO our conditions.-Prof J. C..

New Butter Making Scheme.

New butter making schemes are
continually coming to the surface, and
each one in its turn claims to be the
best and to be n decided Improvement
on all the schemes that have been
previously tried. 1t is necessary to
get the public into this frame of
mind. else the men behind the scheme
will never be able to induce anyone
to let go of good money for the sake
of trying it. One of the latest prcc-
esses Is to draw off the milk through
plotting paper supported on towels, the
butter-fat being left. This is then in
such hard state that 1t can be
worked as butter, so the report SAYS.
OF course the milk has to be manip-
ulated while 1t is fresh. But what
gail - here is from any such process
1t is hard to imagine. The discoverer
says that less labor is entailed in the
separation. hut that is matter
Of small moment There are churns
in which, 1t is claimed, tine
work of separating can be done in FIVE
minutes or less. Well, what of it.
Twenty minutes Is the usual time Of
churning, and even il the cream could
be churned il less than that time the
gain would not be of importance. BY
the way. almost any old churn will
bring the butter in from two to FIVE
minutes. II the temperature is up to
about eighty degrees and the cream
is in fairly good condition. The writer
of this once got butter in two min
utes in an ordinary dash churn; but
the temperature was too high to give
the best quality of butter. Let the
new butter making schemes alone.

Licensing Buttermakers and Cheese.
Makers

There is an agitation in some of the
states to license the factory butter
makers and cheesemakers. The OBJ
ject Of this is to get better class
of manufacturers OF dairy products.
Factories cannot be inspected without
money and money cannot be obtained
from most legislatures in sufficient
quantities to make the work of inspec-
ton effective. This is problem that
is not new. The government of the
United States long ago adopted the
principle of taxing everything that
had to be inspected SO that 1t would
pay for the governmental work put
upon it. The placing of license on
the makers OF butter and cheese in
the factory would yield some revenue,
which would go far towards doing the
very work that needs to be done.

sixteen Things In Good Butter.

Some thinker has declared that six

ates sixteen other things needed as
follows: a. An ounce of wisdom in
selecting materials: t2) an ounce Of
precaution in the preparation of the
utensils: (3) an ounce of concentra-
ton. by which the whole mind shall be
put on the work In hand; (4 an
ounce of cleanliness, which needs to
be exercised in the whole process OF
buttermaking: t5) an ounce of deter
mination. which will help to overcome
all difficulties: go an ounce of pre-
vention, by which all deleterious con-
ditions will be prevented from inter
fering with the process of buttermak-
Ing; I'd an ounce of care, which is
needed at every stage; go an ounce
of forethought regarding the market
and Its demands, which vary as to
coloring. sailing and flavor: 90 an
ounce of discrimination. which is need
ed in choosing salt. color and pack
ages: u0) an ounce of accuracy,
which means the use of the scales to
determine weights; 1D an ounce of
judgment regarding the temperature
at which to churn; t12) an ounce of
common sense. which leads the churn-
err to stop the process when the but
ter is in the granular form; 13) an
ounce of patience In using the Their
mometer in draining the wash water
from the butter and in giving the salt
time to dissolve; G4) an ounce Of ex-
perience, which alone can tell when
the working of the butter should stop
and thus prevent greasiness: G5) an
ounce of ncatness. which applies to
both person and product, and also APP
plies to the printing and wrapping of
the butter; GG) an ounce of honor,
which keeps the butter up to standard,

All Plants Change.

One OF the great truths that Is be-
ing brought out at the present time
Is that all plants change their char
acter according to the conditions that
surround them. We are but just awak-
ing to the magnitude of this possible
ity of change. From the largest plant
that we know to the smallest that we
do not yet know all are subject 10
most radical changes. This fact was
emphasized by Professor Moore OF
Washington N an address recently de-
liyered. He told of the experiments
with bacteria that cause the nod'lles
on the roots of leguminous plants and
said that 1t had been fully proved
that, such bacteria change their char
acter very quickly. Alfalfa seed may
be planted in field in which clover
is growing. and for some time the
bacteria there. even though they be
from the cloyers, will not be able to
affect the roots sufficiently to produce
the nodules.
/. But in the course of few years the
bacteria in that soil will adapt them
selves to the new plant that has come
among them and will ultimately inoc-
ulate the soil with the desired species
He expresses the belief that there Is
but one kind of bacteria but that all
varieties are from the one kind. He
says the mistake has been in not
planting the desired legume on the
same soil year after year. If red
clover does not do well on certain
soil 1t should be repeatedly planted
there so that the ground may iiti-
mately become infested with the min
ute germs that are so helpful to the
plants.
This is in accord with the testimony
OF some of the Oldest inhabitants.
They speak of certain localities in
which red clover would not grow when
the land was new, where now it is
very easy to get catch. 1t is pre-
sumed that the bacteria on the roots
of some wild plant, perhaps the wood
vetch, developed n character enabling
1t to become parasitic on the red
clover. If red clover grows weakly On
one plot one year, do not change if 10
another field the next year but keep
1t in the same place for some years,
at the same time treating part of the
field at least to dressing of manure
