Butter on tho Farm.

At one of the Iowa Institutes a
speaker in the course of his remarks
said that the best churn to use is
d revolving barrel or box churn; the
butter should not be churned together
In lump, stop churning when the
butter is in granular form about the
size of wheat kernels and the butter
milk should then be drawn OFF, then
pure, cold water must be poured on
the butter and the churn turned for
ward and backward a few times and
the water drawn off and fresh water
is clear of buttermilk; usually water
put on three or four times is suf-
fcient Now, the butter is ready for
the salt. About one and one-half
ounces of dairy salt to a pound of
butter, must be well mixed with the
butter but should not be worked
more than just enough to mix the salt
with the butter, and then put in
cool place twelve hours for the salt
to dissolve when it can be reworked
and packed ready for market.

Condition Powders for Poultry.

The use of pulverized cayenne
pepper or capsicum, so often ad-
vised and resorted to, is discouraged
by experienced poultry raisers, on ac-
count of its strong, penetrating and
almost poisonous nature. While 1t
may prove beneficial for the moment,
after It's influence has been dispelled
It leaves the system more enfeebled
than at the outset and in its stead
the following compound is recon-
mended: Carbonate Of iron, | ounce;
anise seed, 2; powdered ginger, 6;
mustard, l; table salt, 2; sulphur, 2;
licorice, 4; powdered charcoal, IA.
These should be powdered and mixed
thoroughly, making pounds of good
condition powders, and il kept in a
tight box, will be good for long
time. A tablespoonful in ten quarts
of soft feed, or in that proportion, fed
every other day in warm weather,
or every day in stormy, CIR cold
weather, will prove of service. For
growing chicks, one-half of the
amount of powders in the same guam
tlty of feed is sufficient. A table
spoonful of the tincture of iron to each
gallon of drinking water should be
provided in all bad seasons.-The

nection with the grass, water, mud
and a certain amount of milk, this is
one of the most economical ways OF
making pork.
without corn moreover, hogs that
have been wintered on grain II turned
on pasture in the spring would be
pretty sure to lose a good deal OF the
fat which they have scored up. While
the succulent grass will stimulate the
appetite and correct stomach troubles
that have been caused by too heavy
winter diet, it would not be policy,
any way, to stop grain feeding and
give them all pasturage. Rather the
change should be made gradually, and
where liberal grain feeding was car.
ried on through the winter, moder-
ate amount should certainly be given
through the early spring months when
pasturing begins. The danger of the
animals getting sick because of the
change in their diet will then be
greatly lessened.
If young. however, very little corn
or no cornmeal at all should be fed
until the pigs are at least four months
old otherwise they are apt to be-
come costive, followed by securing,
whereupon, rubbing against every
thing they can get to, their skin will
have a red and dry appearance; -iext
a dry, black scurf will form, and the
more corn and cornmeal they are
given the poorer they will become.
For checking scours in young pigs,
lettuce is good, and coarse -four or
middlings from rye or wheat, made
into a thin slop with milk, is, with
the exception Of bread and milk, a
most ideal food for them.
To make it, the middlings should be
mixed with the milk at night after the
feeding has been done. With little
of the old left in the bottom of the
swill tub, to act as yeast, it will be
in fine condition by morning to feed,
especially if given often and never in
larger quantities than the pigs will
eat up clean. But, though it is neces-
sary for the swill to be become fer
mented in order to digest well, care
should be taken never to let it get
stale. After four months old their
food of course, can be made stronger,
and then it is that opportunities in
grass and corn should be made most
of.-Boston Cultivator.

"Cornfield law" and "corntield law
yer" are terms that are being rapidly
adopted into the language OF the day
suggested by Senator Tillman's ex-
preston when he said he was only
"cornfield lawyer" Cornfield law is
simply plain law such as the average
man of common sense and probity
would apply to any case, without the
phrases, loopholes, technicalities,
etc., which lawyers law so largely
consists of. "Cornfield law" seems to
be destined for as wide popular ac'
ceptance as square deal' stand pat,
grating" and the various other WV
i'd phrases descriptive Of the condi
tions OF the time OF course the max
ing of law must mainly be left to the
jurists-to men trained in that sci
ence-but there is no question that
our lawyers law needs thoroughly re-
vamping with plain cornfield law. Our
most successful lawyers today-so
regarded-are those that use their
abilities, not to uphold the law and
perfect it, but to evade it and break
1t down. The result is that the Law
fails to fulfill its purpose Of restrain
ing wrongdoing.

Don't Make Garden In a Day.


J. c. Whtten, Horticulturist Of
Missouri University gives the follow
ing timely suggestions for garden
making:
''lf the garden is planted all in day
to get the disagreeable job out of the
way, it is probable that only one or
two species of plants will do their
best. Some will have been planted
too early and others too late.
For best results in garden making
each kind of plant should be put out
at the time when conditions are best
suited to it. Lawn grass seed, sweet
peas, parsnips, onions, spinach and
some other species should be planted
as soon as the soil can be worked in
spring. Seeds of all these will ger.
inmate, and even make stronger
growth, when the soil is only a few
degrees above freezing. If it freezes
more or less on cold nights after they
are planted no harm is usually done.
"Other plants, like nasturtiums,
candy-tuft, beets, potatoes, carrots,
ETC., have a larger heat requirement
or at least later than the mentioned
list. They will not redure we'll if put
out on the first days when the ground
begins to thaw out that they should
be planted before the soil gets very
warm.
Corn, beans, melons, cucumbers
tomatoes and many others require a
warm soil and time will be gained ii
they are not planted until the soil is
well warmed up to considerable
depth. If put out too early, the seeda
are liable to decay in the soil. Even
if the plants do grow they will be.
come stunted by the cold and will not
develop into good plants. 1t saves
time to plant these warmth-loving
kinds after the soil Is warm.
Some species need a great deal OF
heat. These are lima beans, okra or
gumbo, egg plants, and some others
They should be the last vegetable
planted. Still other species should be
planted at intervals so as to get q
succession of vegetables for the table
Most kinds which grow quickly may
be planted in succession. Radishes
beets, lettuce, peas, and many others
are best only when they are tender
and succulent. Seeds of these may be
planted every three weeks for a time
so as to have them under the first
half Of the season.
mo date can be mentioned for
planting the different sorts. Seasons
differ. 1t may be warmer one year
on the first of April than it is two
