Making Devonshire Cream.
By Jennie NJ. Wilson. Illinois.

By Jennie NJ Wilson. Illinois.
Some argue that churning sweet cream is
not desirable. But my experience has led
me to believe that 1t is not Objectionable;
but, on the other hand. that 1t makes butter
of better flavor and better keeping qualities
than Is made from sour cream.
If warming the milk Injuries the flavor. as
some claim, why is 1t that the Devonshire
cream is considered such luxury?
Many persons who have Travelled through
England and Scotland have expressed sur
prise that they can never get such delicious
cream at home Many persons think 1t Is
the particularly rich cream of the countries
referred to, but such is not the case
We may any of us have Devonshire cream
on our tables. IL we will take the trouble to
prepare it. Modus operandi is as follows:
Rich new milk is put in a very shallow
vessel with an extended surface. and IL is
then placed on the range. where-the milk is
allowed to warm, but 1t is closely watched
that IL does not boil even scald
The heat will soon cause all the cream to
rise to the surface and the pan is then
taken of and placed in the ice-box or other
cool place.
When thoroughly. chilled the cream is
taken of and is nearly OF the consistency OF
newly made butter. This is put in jars and
ut breakfast is served with oatmeal or any
thing that ordinary cream Is used for
It's merits are that not only does one OBJ
tain the richest cream, but IL Will keep two
or three days without souring.
l have made butter from cream treated In
this manner and think it Just as superior
to butter made from sour cream, as the
Devonshire cream is superior to the COM
mon article.
Much of the success in the process depends
upon the quick reduction of temperature
when the milk Is taken from the range
have changed this much OF the method as it
suits me better:-
That is, place the milk vessel over a
kettle of boiling water, giving the milk a
steam bath instead of heating on the range.
There is no perceptible difference in results.
II any who are troubled with "frothy
cream" and "churnings that won't come"
will give this method a fair trial, feel as
sured that complaints will cease.

To Make Plants Hump.

Better plan now for the Garden for 1t is
the early vegetables that gets the money.
Tobacco growers have adopted plan for
plant beds which Is very applicable to the
early garden. Sheets of cheese cloth are
made the size of the bed and tackled on
light frame as cover. This gives added
heat. saves moisture and protects from in
sects and cold.
By this means lettuce, radishes and other
early vegetables may be had two weeks
earlier than in the open ground. The cheese
cloth costs about cents per square yard
and lasts two or three seasons. -
To many the ideal garden Is a square acre
and contains the family berry rows and
the grape trellis. but after years of work
and berries to the small fruit garden, the
main crop-tomatoes. cabbage and sweet
corn--tO the truck garden. and gone back
to the small kitchen garden near the house.
There we have our beds or rows Of let
tuce. spring onions. radishes. beets. early
cabbage. caullhower, egg plant. early beans
and peas, and many other early vegetables
we may care to grow.
Then in corner Of the field broken for
farm crops, We grow our sweet corn,
squashes. cabbage. melons. parsnips. okra,
are grown in rows and cultivated with
horse and 5-shovel cultivator.
The kitchen garden gets the poultry
manure with an occasional 100 pound sack
OF Is per cent acid phosphate-this perhaps
once in three years. Wood ashes from the
kitchen stove are always applied to the
small garden, and while ours was pretty
thin soil when We began on 1t twenty years
ago. it would now make a fair crop of
garden stun without manure.
While the general writer on gardening
always advises deep blowing. we have some
times practiced the opposite with excellent
results. Part of our garden is usually
spaded, and l once stirred the spade spot
with 5-shovel cultivator about "a inches
deep and made the beds the next day. 1t
was the earliest and best garden I ever
had. or course believe in moderately deep
breaking and thorough pulverization Of the

The first step in starting with poultry

Poultry Laying Breed Pays Best.
Miller Purvis.

While it is true that the average farmer
will naturally choose general purpose breed
of fowls for his use. 1t is also true that this
is hot always the wisest plan. The high
price eggs have been bringing for a,year or
two. and the fact that the average of prices
Is much higher than 1t ever was up to within
a very short time. has emphasized the fact
that the production of eggs is more profit
able than the production Of poultry meat.
The common objection against laying
breeds Is that they are too small to make
them profitable when the fowls are sold.
This objection is founded ON false reason
ing. as l shall show. The leghorns are the
typical laying breed in this country They
produce eggs of the standard size-twenty-
four ounces to the dozen-and no breed will
produce more eggs year.
Is winter LAYERS. have found them fully
equal to Plymouth Rocks or the WyandOttes,
and have kept the three breeds side by
side year after year.
The egg farmer will sell his surplus cock
erels for broilers. and / know from actual
demonstration that Leghorn cockerel viii
grow to weigh one pound or even one ara
one-half pounds as quickly as q cockere- Of
any other breed in the standard, and ttase
are the weights at which broilers are -aost
profitable.
1t is also true that it does not Coz. any
more to produce 100 pounds of Legho-- fowls
than 1t does to produce a like nu-cer OF
pounds Of any other breed.
1 fall to see what difference it makes in
the end II we have fourteen Piyn outh Rock
twenty-five Leghorns weighing the same
number of pounds, IL the one cost the same
as the other. for the selling p-:ce is always
the same per pound.
There Is a great differencf ir individuals
in the matter Of egg-procucing, as was
shown by the years test at the Maine Ex-
pertinent Station. where one White Wyan-
dotte hen did not lay single egg in q year,
and another laid 240. Both of these birds
are exceptions from the general rule. and
show what may be expected from the selec-
ton of laying individuals and breeding from
them to produce strain.
From present indications. there is going
to be a great demand for the laying breeds
and steady increasing demand for eggs,
and he who selects one OF the prolific sort
will do wisely.
