Indigestion IL produced by overlooking
and lack Of range.
Two-year-old ~gobblers should be used with
twO-year-oid hens.
FOR q hve-acre lot, three broods of little
turkeys are enough.
The stock should be changed every third
year to prevent inbreeding.
The ideal food for young turkeys Ia scald-

Making Devonshire Cream.
BY Jennie N. Wilson, Illinois.

BY Jennie M. Wilson, Illinois.
Some argue that churning sweet cream is
not desirable. But my experience has led
me to believe that II Is not Objectionable
but. on the other hand. that II makes butter
Of better flavor and better keeping qualities
than Is made from sour cream.
II warming the milk Injuries the flavor. as
some claim, why is It that the Devonshire
cream is considered such q luxuryf
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 Il is
referred to. but such is not the case.
We may any of us have Devonshire cream
on our tables II we will take tn, trouble to
prepare II. Modus operandi IL AZ follows:
Rich new milk Is put In a very shallow
vessel with an extended surface. and It Is
then placed on the range. where the milk Is
alb wei to warm, but 1t is closely watched
that II uoes not boil or even scald.
The heat will soon cause all the cream to
rise to the surface and the pan Ia then
taken OF and placed in the ice'box or other
When thoroughly chilled the cream Is
taken of and Is nearly Of the consistency Of
newly made butter. This Is put In Jars and
thing that ordinary cream Is used for.
Its merits are that not only does one oh
tain the richest cream, but II will keep two
or three days without SQUIRTING.
! have made butter from cream treated In
this manner and think It Just AZ superior
to butter made from sour cream. M the
DevOnshire cream Is superior to the CON-
mon article.
Much Of the success In the process depends
upon the quick reduction Of temperature
when the milk IL taken from the range. I
have changed this much Of the method as 1t
suits me better
That Is. I place the milk vessel over a
kettle OF boiling water. giving the milk a
steam bath instead of heating on the range.
There IL no perceptibie difference In results.
II any who are troubled with 'frotby
cream" and "churnings that won't come
win give this method u fair trial. ! feel as
sured that complaints will cease.

Poultry Laying Breed Pays Best.
Miller Purvis,

While II Is true that the average farmer
will naturally choose a general purpose breed
Of fowls for his use. It Is also true that this
price eggs have been bringing for a year or
two. and the fact that the average Of prices
Ia much higher than It ever was up IT, within
that the production Of eggs Is more profit
able than the production OF poultry meat.
The common objection against laying
them profitable when the fowls are sold.
This objection Is founded on a false reason
Ing. as ! shall show. The leghorns are the
produce eggs Of the standard size-twcnty-
four ounces to the dozen-and no breed will
produce more eggs q year.
Az winter LAYERS. ! have found them fully
equal to plymouth Rocks or the Wyapdottes,
and I have kept the three breeds side by
side year after year.
The egg. farmer will sell his surplus cock
ercls for broilers. and I know from actual
demonstration that a Leghorn cockerel VIII

pertinent Station. where one White Wyan-

and another laid 24O. Both Of these birds
are exceptions from the general rule, and
show what may be expected from tho selec-
ton Of laying individuals and breeding from
them to produce n strain.
From present indications, there Is going
to be u great demand for the laying breeds
and a steady increasing demand for eggs.
and he who selects Que OF the prolific sort
will do wisely.

Best Time to Prune.
Prof. L. II. Bailey. Cornell College Of Agrl-
culture.

Prof. L. II. Bailey. Cornell College OF Agrl-
culture.
There Is an old adage which says: For
wood prune In wrinter: for fruit prune In
summer" Prof. Bailey says: "Therc Is an
exact balance between the feeding capacity
Of the plant. that is. Its root system and food
supply. and the superficial growth Of the
plant. The more active aud efficient the
root. the larger the top. II we remove a
large portion of the top. there Is an en-
deayor to supply the deficiency by an exceed
ingly rapid growth"
Winter pruning, by removing large
branches. Increases the vigor OF the tree,
while summer pruning only pinches tho
growing points.
The object of summer pruning IN to Les
sen the number OF leaves. 80 that the growth
of the wood may be checked. This should
not be done too early. az It may stimulate
wood growth. and II too late. the buds may
not develop. Midsummer IL the proper time
for pruning.
Methods vary according to location and
conditions. In this state. where there are
more cloudy days than in the West, more
pruning IN needed.
The quality Of fruit indicates the neces-
sity of pruning. and many defects In the
growth Of the tree which will affect the quail
ity and quantity Of the fruit may be remed-
led by the proper cutting at a seasonable
time.
