Wheat Harvest.

show that wheat harvesting has
begun. Mr.. Israel Tanner began
thrcshing last Tuesday. The pros
poets for good wheat crop are
very fine. There is some talk of

Of most farmers is that we will
have an average crop and more,
and this being the case it is very
likely that it will be good. They
hardly ever oyerestimate the crop.

The State Superintendent of Ar

He was in to see us Monday and

of the prominent figures in Arkan-

Mr.. Milliken has been very success

New Agricultural Buildings.

The College of Agriculture of the
State University of Wisconsin, the
attendance of which has increased
very greatly during the past two
years, is to have two important ad-
ditions in the form of an agronomy
building and an agricultural eng1-
neering building. The plans for
both structures have been complet-
ed and the contracts provide for
their completion before the begin
ming of the short course in agricul-
ture next winter The new build
ings will give a great impetus to
the work in agronomy and in agri-
cultural engineering, which has
been somewhat handicapped by
lack of room. The new engineer
ing building will be 50xl50 feet and
three stories high. The plans pro-
vide for four laboratories, two
draughting rooms, and two recita-
ton rooms, besides the offices.
These laboratories are for the dem
onstration of modern agricultural
implements. In the power labora-
tory will tc placed traction engines.
gasoline engines and other types
which will be set up and operated
for the purpose of demonstrating
the application of these engines to
agricultural purposes. A cement
laboratory in the basement will give
opportunity to study the use of Gem
ent and concrete for floors, walks,
silos, tanks, fence posts, etc.
The draughting rooms will give
opportunity for instructing some
ninety students at time in draw
ing plans for construction of agri-
cultural buildings. This structure
will be one of the best agricultural
engineering buildings in the coun-
try.
The new agronomy building will
be 48x96 feet, with two stories and
a basement. The important feature
of this building will be seed-1udg-
ing department, with q series of
rooms for the curing and storing of
seed grains of various kinds, mu-
scum for collection of seeds, while
there will also be laboratories and
lecture rooms, etc. The new build
ing will also give opportunity for
improved instruction and investiga-
ton in grains and forage plants.
The aim of work here is to pave the
way for growing better farm crops
by seed Improvement. the rotation
of crops and more careful cultural
methods.

Prof. Huxley ranked fuel values
as follows: oak wood 40 per cent;
Ignite coal SO per cent; bituminous
coal 88 per cent; anthracite "a per
cent. So that one ton of anthracite
costing 5000 fixes the value of one
ton of Ignite at $6.75; ton of Bit
umen at $8.47; and a cord of oak
al $3.50. Our coal dealers will
say that if oak wood shall be sold
at $500 cord the equivalent of an
thracite should be $1,000 a ton. In
this test the best quality of sound,
body white oak is considered. In
this locality there are many varie-
ties of oak and of varying fuel val
ues. 1t is probable that English
and New England white oak would
correspond in heating values to our
hard maple. 1t will be noticed in
the comparison that ton of anthra-
cite is equal to two cords of oak. A
test was made at the Normal school
here at one time of the comparative
heating value of woods and of these
compared with coal. From these it
was conclud ed that a ton of hard
coal is worth two cords of dry hard
maple.

BUTTER MAKING.
How to Prepare the Product for
Market.

The best and only way to prepare
your butter for market is to make
good butter, and having made good
butter demand a good price for it.
If you are prepared to make butter
it is just as easy to make good but
ter as to make poor.
A great deal of good butter is
spoiled after it comes into the hands
of the grocerymen. You will see all
kinds of butter-good, bad and in
different in the same refrigera-
tor and after it has been in there a
few hours it will be difficult 10 de-
tect which is the good.
All utensils should be we'll Sca1d
ed and aired before they are used
for milk or cream. Cream should
be churned every other day in sum-
mer. Care should be taken not to
let the cream get too sour before
churning. If you skim, or put the
cream of one Swimming in one can,
stir and mix it we'll together every
time you put in cream. AS soon as
your butter gathers so that each
particle is the size of a grain of
wheat or bean, stop churning.
Draw off the butter-milk and pour
in one pail of water and let stand
about five minutes then turn your
churn four or five times around,
then put in more water after the
first is drawn off and continue to
pour in and draw off the water un-
til it runs off clear as it was before
it was put on the butter, then you
will have no butter-milk left in your
butter. Salt at once and let it stand
two hours before working. Work
very little or you will break the
grain, in which case you would
have sticky, salvy butter. Care
should be taken in packing butter
to have it look we'll and all cloths
scrupulously clean and white.
Stamp your name and the date on
which the butter was made. Use
small jars or prints for city market
ing. Cleanliness is absolutely essen
tial in making butter at all stages,
from milking to marketing.
After the people find that you uni
formly make good butter you will
realize more for it than the regular
market price. GEO. B. SMITH.
