NEATNEss IN BUTTER PACKAGES

The careful packing of butter has 8
good deal to do with the fostering o:
tho butter trade whether that trade
be with n few private families or with
large commission houses. This matter
has been frequently referred to in these
columns. and without doubt some i'm
proyement is being made. The com
mission men report that the manner II.
which butter is put up helps or hinders
them In making sales. A creamery
that has the reputation of ncatness
In packing finds itself sought not only
by the commission men. but by large
crocers that want an article that looks
well. This matter OF looks is especial
ly important in butter that goes to the
homes of the wealthy. They will form
opinions on the looks of things. Two
packages OF butter may be similar In
quality. but II one Is put up in bette,
style than the other the buyers arr
prejudiced in favor OF that package
and the eaters, II they have seen the
package will actually imagine tha,
the butter is of better flavor.

the. fence strongly built at the first,
Some claim that II Is necessary to
have q barbed wire strung along the
posts near the ground. no matter what
the character OF the fence above II.
We do not entirely indorse this view.
We think there are some kinds OF
woven wire fence which would be
found strong enough to confine swine
without the barbed wire referred to.
With reference to cooking food Tor
swine, those who write upon the ques-
tion generally advise against 1t. They
do SO on the ground that II has been
found by experiment that 1t does not
pay to cook food for swine. The fact.
however. is too frequently lost sight OF
that in the winter season II is wise
to steam food for swine for the reason
that II may be fed TO them In warm
state. When thus fed II warns the
body and keeps the animals more
than they otherwise would
be. Because OF this. therefore. II
doubtless does pay TO steam food for
swine, when the weather is quite cold.
although II does not pay to steam 1t
or cook It when the weather is com
Portable.

MAKE A NOTE OF THIS.

Commission merchants say that on
an average there is a difference of
four cents n dozen between soiled egg
and those that are sent to marke;
bright and clean. and II is not neces-
sary that all the eggs OF shipment
shall be soiled in order TO make a
consignment rank us such. Even n
very small proportion OF soiled eggs
in n package will cause the whole to
be rated several cents below the mar
ket price. The trampling on the eggs
by the dirty feet of the hens. fresh
from the moist earth OF the yard. art
tho discoloration produced. does not
affect the contents. but II gives the
eggs an uninviting appearance. and l.
is not expected that people will be
Indifferent to the looks of things which
they buy for their table. Poultr.
keepers can afford TO take time &c
clean the shells OF the eggs which they
send to market when the failure to dc
so means the loss of four cents a
dozen

A FEED YARD.

The most useful and economical de-
vice about our farm yard is our feed
yard. 1t is small space about so by
100 feet, inclosed on the north and
west by tight, high board fence; on
the south and east. the fence is lower
but some buildings serve as wind
breaks. When we commence hauling
up our hay in the fall we stack all
along the north and west sides. This
gives us well sheltered yard where
cattle can be fed when 1t is too cold
for them to go out in the pasture and
where the young stock can be kept
at night until late in the season, as
they are protected from the wind.
We can feed from stacks around the
yard. and though the yard will need
cleaning occasionally. We find it q
great saving of feed. time and labor.

WITH THE FLOWERS.

In taking cuttings be sure to use a
sharp knife.
For vines to train upon the trellis
wise the Madeira vine and the cobea.
Plants that have a rather tough bark
like the English Ivy and oleander,
root better in water than in sand.
When plants are not growing much.
but little water Is needed. II too
much water is given, there is danger
OF the soil souring.
Among the plants best adapted to
cultivation in window boxes are geran-
iums. fuchsias. heliotropes. plumbagos,
begonias. pansies and tea roses.
In sunny windows almost any sum-
mer blooming flower can be grown
successfully. Let the children start a
window box early this month. Fill
the box with ordinary garden seeds.
Do not plant the seeds too thick.
Flowers on the table during the
winter months are greatly appreciated.
Aim to combine freshness and variety.
Il is not the number but the quality
and arrangement.
A good way TO start cuttings indoors
is to place the cuttings in box Of
sharp sand. giving plenty OF moisture
and placing the box on the back of the
stove where bottom heat can be fur
nished.
Plant food is best supplied to plants
when they are making active growth.
Many plants have been killed by giving
them rich food when their stomachs
We're unable to digest it.

FERTILIZERS FOR WESTERN
FARMS.

The majority of farmers on tine new
and fertile lands of the west and
southwest have thought but little
about the use OF commercial fertilizers.
Recent changes in crop systems in
many sections have led farmers to in
quire IL there should not be re-
placing OF the elements taken from the
soil. The practice has been to ignore
the principle Of returning to the soil
any plant food, so long as there
was a large amount of naturally
rich or virgin land. Leaving out the
question of virgin lands. we have
reached point where great major
ity OF our farms could be benefited by
careful preservation and utilization
Of plant food.

A TYPE OF HOG CHOLERA.

The department OF agriculture re-
ports the discovery of a type OF hog
cholera which is not caused by bacteria
but which is none the less exceeding
ly contagious. Hogs coming in con-
tact with the sick almost invariably
fontract the disease. which. fortunate
ly cannot be communicated to any 9TH
er animal than the hog. The symp-
toms noticed are largely the same as
in the ordinary swine plague and hog
cholera. The first day there is a loss
Of appetite and listlessness: the second
day the hog becomes very sick, hollow
'n the fianks. with a staggering gait
maybe diarrhoea and again maybe not
The eyes become sore and the lids
glued together. Death usually takes
place within seven days, and approx.
imately within two weeks after the
first exposure. The disease particu-
iarly affects the kidneys. It is CON
fined so far to southwestern Iowa. and
farmers in that section should be par
ticularly careful not to allow strange
hogs to come on their farms or to per-
init their hogs in any way to come in
contact with other herds.
The department recommends the iso-
iation OF all sick animals and the dis
infection Of all infected lots with a
thorough disinfectant. The details of
special methods of treatment will be
given to the public by the department
in due time.

WHY THE HORSE EATS OFTEN.

The horse can conveniently eat for 20
hours out of the "a. A horse which is in
good health has good appetite at all
times and is able to stand plenty O..
work and is rarely on the sick list.
To be a good feeder especially on a
journey, is great recommendation
in the opinion of every good Judge o..
horsefiesh. The reason of horse be.
ing such constant eater is that its
stomach is really small in proportion
to the size Of its body, and therefore
1t requires feeding often. not less than
four times day, two of which should
be early in the morning and at night.
while hay should in the stall be always
within It's reach.
