Sncccss of Kharkof.

About four years ago the Depart
ment of Agriculture began systematic
distribution of the Kharkof wheat, and
extensive trials of this variety in CO.
operation with the State experiment
stations. 1t is the hardest winter
wheat yet grown in this country and
is now thoroughly established.
By its use the area in which winter
wheat can be successfully cultivated
has been much extended to the north
ward and westward, particularly in Ne
braska and Iowa. while a considerable
amount is now grown in South Dakota
and Southern Minnesota. 1t will be
conservative to state that. wherever
this wheat has been introduced, the
yield per acre is being increased on an
average of five bushels.

The Art of Flowing

There is an art in blowing. In other
words. there is way TO do the work
and get the best results, and there is a
way that will be quite the opposite.
On the ground that does not need
burrows for drainage. pillow from the
center, and to the center alternately,
and In this way keep the field free
from burrows and ridges, especially at
the corners.
s. b. Hartman, an experienced farm
er, says he has seen fields having the
soil so plowed away along the lines
running from center of field to outside
corners by continually throwing fur
rows toward the outside of the field,
that crops would hardly grow on a strip
8 or 10 feet wide, while much good soil
was piled in a ridge along the fences
where little use could be made of 1t ex-
cept to grow briars and weeds. Start
ing the field in the center a few times
viii correct this. Some attempt to
by blowing lands along each side. This
throws the furrOw from the fence, but
creates ridge along the back furrow
and does not fill the low places at the
corners.
BY doing a little measuring before
starting to pillow, and occasionally while
the blowing is in progress to see that
all sides and corners are kept equal
distances from the fence, almost any
shape of lot can 6e ploved from the
center. The burrows left from the last
blowing will also help in blowing from
the center.
1t is better to pillow rather shallow
in case the soil is dry, in the spring,
than to pillow deeper, Say Z or s inches
But it is best not to turn up too much
subseil excepting where 1t Is intended
to fertilize heavily, or where it is In

wfnter-Made Butter.

You cannot produce first-class win
ter butter unless you churn often. To
churn every other day is better than
once in three days, while to put it off
to every fourth day is execrable prac-
tice. And yet vast amount of butter
manufactured on the latter plan is mar
keted every winter, much to the dis
gust of the dairy trade.
1t Is found primarily in country
stores, where it has been exchanged by
small dairymen at a second-rate price
for groceries.
The tradesmen ship 1t in lots to the
city market, where all the way through
whether IL ends in the larder of baker
or on the table Of the poor workingman,
ii is classed as inferior and sells for
a low price.
And yet the original material from
which this butter was made was as
good as that which is employed in turn
ing out the % and 30-cent article.
The inferiority OF quality and con-
sequent loss to dalrymen follows, be-
cause they ignore the right principles
of butter making. Suppose that farm
er. after raising a fine crop of potatoes
and digging them, should allow the tu-
bers to lie day or two in the sun be-
fore storing them in the root cellars
Could he expect to sell the green, bitter
vegetables for full market quotations
Certainly not. and even the most OBJ
fuse are thoroughly well aware of this
fact.
And yet those who use common sense
in this respect, with uncomfortable folly
will spoil good cream and butter by
wanton neglect, as outlined above II
is pretty costly neglect, too. as 1t for
feits from s to 10 cents on every pound
of inferior butter.
This could all be obviated by churn.
ing cream when It is fresh and pure
l. e, slightly matured, but not bitter
and manufacturing it into butter &C,
cording to modern principles.
Cream should all be secured from
the milk In at least twentyfour hours
and churned within the next twenty
four This can be done usually by
keeping 1t at a temperature of between
60 and 90 degrees. 1t Is where cream
is kept at near 40 degrees, and for sew.

to the Current Hybrid Inanities.

some Interesting changes since James

In the original, gratified the small pub
lie appetite for this kind of perform

Gilbert's new vein of humor and his
highly polished English dialogue and
lyrics began the popularity OF comic
opera In the language of this country.
Even after the advent of the Gilbert
Sullivan product comic opera was
chiefly drawn from French and Ger

artistic no mans land gave way to
horserlay, nonsense and the humor Of

From this emerged species OF COM

poor one at that, and form of en-

to say that IL another Gilbert were to

Bif1cr MIX.

Abnormal favors in milk and milk
products may be due TO q number of
causes, as it is well known that certain
weeds eaten by COWS impart a charac-
teristic flavor to the milk. Wild onion
or garlic is a noticeable instance.
A recent bulletin of the Ontario Ex-
pertinent Station gives some interesting
observations on bitter milk. In this
case. however, the bitter flavor was
caused BY a form of yeast rather than
by bacteria. Numerous cheese facto-
ries in Ontario were annoyed by the
development of bitter flavor in milk
and curd. From a sample of such curd
q yeast-like micro-organism designated
Torula amara, or bitter torula, was
isolated. This yeast, when separated
from all other heterogeneous and adj
ded to milk which had been rendered
sterile by heat, produced the charac
teristic bitter flavor. Cultures Of the
torula were added to milk, and the
cheese and butter manufactured from
it also possessed the bitter taste.
In preventing such troubles as bit
ter milk, proper care OF the milk is
essential. Milk cans and all other uten-
sils should be thoroughly washed and
sterilized by heat, the milking should
be done under the most favorable con-
ditiOns for lessening contamination,
the milk should be cooled promptly,
and guarded as carefully as possible
from all known sources of infection.
A Farmers bulletin Of the Department
of Agriculture contains suggestions for
the care and handling of milk which,
IL followed, may be expected to lessen
or prevent such troubles as arise from
the growth of undesirable forms of
micro-organisms in milk. This bulle-
tin may be had free on application to
the department at Washington.
