Slow Churninu.

In the winter season the people have
a great deal of trouble in churning in
a reasonable time. One reason for
this is the thinness of the cream in
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 Swimming 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
mix does not receive the pounding
that it should. The barrel churn
should be only onethird 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 65 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
Improving Dairy Herds.
We In our work at the sta
ton raise heifers from our best
time make purchases. We get more
blanks than we do prizes in our breed
ing, and to keep up our herd occasion
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 or
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
and exchange. How to improve our
dairy herds cannot all be stated in a
word, but the process, epitomized to
the last degree, may be expressed in
the following words: Breed, weed,
feed, weigh, test, observe, use judg
ment, study relationship of conforma
tion to performance. L. Hills, Di-
rector Vermont Experiment Station.

She is not forced by public sen timent to marry if she does not md the man of her heart. She is given plenty of time to find him.
 Last and not least she is married for herself. without a money consid- eration.
 Then there is a quality about the American man which is charming. Even at sixty there is something of the big boy, the big child in him, You wont find that in the European man. He Is already old at twenty five. At sixty the European man of the world is a cynic.
 He hasn't preserved a single illusion. The American woman may be artificial and grasping. but the American man is a dear,
