Overrlpe cream, too much churnins
and Overworking are three genera!
faults in butter making.
1t is a source of regret that some
men have time to burn" when their
wives have no dry wood to burn.
| Let the chickens run on the range
where they will have plenty of grass
and clover. Turn up earth for them to
scratch in for worms.
| Whipping a shying or frightened
horse Is senseless and cruel; pain does
not relieve freight, but the assuring
voice of the master does.
| 1t is net good policy to force the
growth of colts by giving them stimn-
lation foods and overlooking thepI.
The overgrown horse is seldom a dur
| able one.
| Butter is regarded as a comparative
| ~ modern product. Scholars believe
| that the word translated butter I'm the
early writings should have been trans
lated cream.
| A Montana sheep firm has bought a
410-acre ranch in the Yellowstone val
ley near Billings for $4,000, Iearly $50
an acre, the highest price yet paid in
that section.
| While a small bunch of sheep can be
kept on any farm to q good advantage,
they serve double purpose, as they
enrich the farm and bring a cash in
come THE same time.
A breachy Old eve is about the worst
| property one can own, as she leads the
good sheep into unforbidden pastures.
There are few fiocks but what has one
OF these 'pesty old things"
| Tomatoes do well when heavily fertl-
iixed. When the plants are set they
may be placed upon shovel OF we'll
rotted manure After they begin to
grow. more manure may be added and
| plowed in.
The stingy feeder hurts himself as
| we'll as his cows; b" ON the other
/ hand, the mich cow that will not re-
block, and her place be filled by a good
animal. Worst enocomy of all Is TO
breed to an Improbable scrub.
This year the man who prepared
every acre of ground right before plant
| ing is now ahead. We know Of corn
| planted on well-prepared ground two
weeks ago that is now up to some of
the corn that was hogged in six weeks
| ago, and In two weeks more 1t will be
ahead.
| One practice that has been so neglect
| ed as TO almost be given the name OF a
lost art" should again be revived. 1t
Is that of stacking grain. There are
too few farmers who can build stack
of grain that will keep. The reason is
easy. Threshing from the shock does
| the damage.
| There are many foul weed seeds that
cannot be taken out of clover seed by
ordinary methods When an extra eff
fort Is not made to get the seed clean
1t Will be sure to grow all kinds of
PLANS not wanted. 1t will not pay to
drift into neglect in this way and slip
one cog backward.
Fat hens may be most quickly re-

giving them free range on grass. with

leaves, ETC., will take the place OF range
where birds must be confined.
Not until man began planting corn
from individual ears in separate places
did ne learn of the individuality of
ears. Now, since he has learned this
| mucl, there is thirsting for greater
know ledge OF seed corn. Some of the
older students in seed cornology have
| long since ceased to learn any more.
Others are satisfied they can still learn
something.
| A farmer who has had experience
with cement tanks writes that 1t does
not LAY to build them unless they are
we'll reinforced with wires and iron
rods The freezing will sometimes
| cause them to crack, and a crack means
a leak; leak means trouble. 1t does
not odd much to the labor or expense
to iIrbed pieces of wire all through the
! concrete while making cement tanks.
| Glaze attention to details is neces-
sary IN order to produce two tons of
buttes exactly alike in quality. A
change OF. food will affect the milk and
buttee and so will any mistake in keep
ing and ripening the cream and in
| churping The food also favors the
butter. as wild onions have been obsta-
cles in that respect Lack of cleanl-
ness eiso affects the quality of the BUT
| ter.
