II there is one thing that has been
demonstrated on the farm devoted to

long that its value has been scientifi-

In the 'inter season the people have
great ceal of trouble in churning in
a reasonable time. One reason fol
the winter under the careless methods
in which milk is set in the farm house
The cream rises very slowly, and
when SKINNED. contains very large
proportion of milk; such cream churns
with great difficulty. The remedy for
this Is to make the cream thicker by
being more careful in skimming. The
two reasons for slow churning is that
the churns are filled too full of cream
The ordinary barrel churn is used on
the farm; If it is filled nearly full the
that it should. The barrel churn
should be only one-third full. then
when 1t revolves the cream falls from
one end of the barrel to the other and
receives a shock at each end. 1t is
this shock that causes the butter gran
ules to separate from the casein and
the other parts of the milk. The next
great reason for slow churning is the
unknown temperature at which the
churning is performed. If the farmers
wife who does the churning will always
have thermometer at hand, to make
sure that the temperature of the cream
is about G5 degrees she will avoid this
trouble of too low temperature. Some
people make the mistake of pouring
in cold water as soon as the butter
begins to break This sometimes re
tards the gathering of the butter.

We in our work at the sta

blanks than we do prizes in our breed

ally purchase. This is the general
practice of dairy farmers in this state.
Most Of them raise their own ami
mails, but buy back and forth more OF
less. In other words, they aim to i'm
prove their herds by good breeding
that is to say. the better class of them
do, and likewise sell and buy, barter

MUTUAL INSURANCE.

The fire insurance people are meeting
with the widest possible abuse for their
imposition of the 25 per cent advance
they have ordered up against their Pa
cifc Coast patronage and it is proper
they should. They have done magnif-
cent business on this coast and have
reaped extraordinary profits, profits out
of all proportion to the increments of
the businesses and properties that have
borne their exactions, and it is quite
time some method was devised whereby
insurance benefits might he held, at
modified cost; and the commercial acu-
men of the brightest men in the terri
tory, is now engaged on the problem in
the sheer interest of self-defence. There
is day in the history of all corporate
existance when it needs a vital lesson
on the score of popular endurance, and
the day of the insurance companies is at
hand. We copy, in this issue, an edi-
torial disquisition from the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, an authority right in the
heart of the district attacked, and the
home of the attacking companies that is
well worth considering. And we, along
with every community on the coast, are
hopeful that the issue may take trend
that will serve the best interests of
everyone, insurance companies included,
for while they must be dragooned into
realization of what constitutes @square
deal" the system and their contribution
to it, in logical and reasonable way,
cannot be dispensed with.

they were useless.

Alexander.
