by the county president.
S. F. Barber of Harrisburg, gave
talk on Butter Making on the
Farm. Mr.. Barber has been en-.
gagged in butter making for a num-
Der of years and has sold his butter
in ponnd prints at Harrisburg at
40 cents per pound. He urges far
mers to produce first class article
that will command the highest mar
ket. In order TO do this it is nee
essary to get the best butter making
machinery and have a dairy build
ing. Feed COWS for milk. Do not
begin to ripen cream until you have
enough for churning. Hold
cream az as low temperature as
possible for 10 or - hours before
ripening. Churn butter at as low
a temperature as possible.
DR.. j II. Funk spoke on Potato
Culture. Should grow from $50 to
800 buehels per acre. Plant on
light soil rich in humous. 4 good
clover sod preferred. Fertilizer
should contain potash, phosphsric
acid and nitrogen. For seed select
the most uniform potatoes. To pre-
vent scab, soak potatoes in solution
composed of Is gallons of water to
= ounces of corrosive subimate.
Two or three days after planting
use a weeder and cultivate often.
Prof. Formation and I'M
provement of Soil. The virgin soil
was rich in nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and humous-humous is de-
cayed vegetation. Examine the
soil in the condition when the land
is first cleared, it is spongy and
when pressed in the hand will
spring apart when the pressure is
released. To bring up soil manure,
pillow under green crops.
