Some Suggestions for Women on the Farm
Who Make Butter
G. s. Carnman, Missouri.

sometimes specked with cheesy parti-
cles is not very pleasing to the eye.
and its taste not very agreeable to the
tion of the odors of the kitchen" and the
taste of overripe cream old milk.
This is especially true if the milk is
limited in quantity and the setting in open
vessels is practiced. Where the milk from
lack of better room must be kept in the
kitchen or pantry it should be strained and
heated hot that the hand could COM
moved to cool rapidly possible.
This heating hastens the rising of the
cream and also makes the coming of the
butter easy task. When perfectly cold
the milk should be removed to a tight cup
board from which all food is excluded, and
which odors penetrate when cooking
is in progress, there to remain until the
cream has risen.
The bitter, old taste of butter can be
prevented by skimming before the milk
"clabbers, using a perforated skinner SO
that all the milk may be rejected and set
moderately warm place where it may sour
or ripen quickly.
This ripening process should be hastened
by the addition of a little cream kept back
from the previous churning and much or
little-the should be churned twice
a week at least.
There is often a temptation when the
quantity of cream is small, to save it till
fair sized churning is secured, thus avoid
ing a little extra work. In doing this
is sure to sacrifice quality in the butter.
The cheesy particles which are so objec-
tionable in butter will not be present If
there is no milk in the cream, for they are
what they look to be-particles OF hardened
cheese from the sour milk. The whey from

WRONG WAY TO PLOW CORN

HoW have you been blowing your corn?
n Throwing the dirt away from the
roots at the last blowing? Better
change your method and stop cutting of
the roots.
A Maryland farmer says that plowing
corn. throwing the dirt away from the roots
is nothing short of plant murder. And he
is right In Illinois. and in fact in ali the
corn states, it was the general practice
twenty years ago, to plow corn the last
time very deep. thus cutting of the roots
and crippling the plant. Many farmers still
continue this practice although it has long
been abandoned by all good farmers.
good farmer in the South says be mas

used on this ground from the time the corn

cultivator of this kind not only destroys
weeds. but keeps the ground in most ex-
cellent condition. 1t does not ridge it, and
is set so it cannot injure the roots.
Many corn growers set the plow deep and
go ripping along between the rows and the
breaking and tearing of the corn roots can
be plainly heard. Then when the corn does

in two months. Ten hogs will eat about
one-third of an acre in two months The
heaviest yield of rape cut from a given area
was secured when the crop was cut three
times in succession about four inches from
the ground. The yield was at the rate of
thirty-six tons per acre.
In sowing the rape crop the ground
should be well pulverized and in suitable
condition for the termination of the small
seed In this country fiat culture is pre-
ferred to growing the crop ridges, which
has been extensively practiced with this
crop in Europe. Sowing the crop on ridges
may have the advantage of giving better
drainage, and this may be considered the
main object in using this culture. The
crops may be sown in drills 80 inches apart
or sown broadcast.
By sowing it in drills it may be pastured
without destroying much stock natur-
ally would in having to trampie over it
where it is sown broadcast. The amount
of seed required will vary slightly accord
ing to the condition OF the soil and the
method Of sowing it. When sowing in
drills from two to two and one-hah pounds
of seed will give the best results.
When soWn broadcast three pounds of
seed is necessary. Large and plump seed
sown on rich soil may be sown lighter than
where the soil is not in good condition, and
the seed is of poor quality.
Where too much seed is used and the
crop is sown broadcast, the plants will often
come up and turn reddish yellow and
brown, which is indication that poor
crop must necessarily follow.

DUCK RAISING PAYS WELL

to raise, dress and market a ten-weeks-old
duckling, and that about 81 is the price
received for it. This is very profitable
when ducks are Matched in large numbers.
1 also discovered that it costs about 10
cents a month to keep full grown ducks,
eggs too small. Ducks do not begin to
lay regularly until spring opens, and they
sometimes lay many as 120 eggs each.
AS these eggs produced at a time
when eggs are declining in price there is
not much room for profit, after paying the
expense of keeping them a year before

begin to lay. 1t will take them at least
even if they lay well. This adds so cents
to the feed cost, not counting labor, and
have paid out $40 to get eggs that
are not worth more than 81.
Where there is a demand for them at a
good price the growing of young ducks is
profitable, but for egg-productiOn they do
not compare with hens in making money.

BUY BEST BREEDS OF SHEEP

MUCH is often said about the quality
NJ of the mutton that sells best in the
80 market The demand seems to be
for certain qualities that are not usually
at a premium.
Breeders often ponder on the matter to
determine what they shall do. 1t is with
them just to breed and then to feed. When
sheep of low grade placed upon the
market, the buyers scold because they are
not furnished with something better. When
something better is sent them,> they scold
because it is too good.
butcher in London, England, declared
he dared not sell prime Southdown mutton
for fear he could not always supply it,
and then he would be practically ruined.
The starting point in obtaining quality,
is the sheep itself The idea that a sheep
is a sheep has long prevailed,-and some
breeders failing to get any farther than
this idea, have failed a schoolboy fails
in following his copy in his copy book.
The copy set him seems almost perfect
He attempts to copy as best he can, but
misses it. The next line is little worse
than the first, and when he reaches the
bottom of the page, he has produced some
thing that bears little nor no resemblance
to the original copy.
No breeder should be content with the
last effort as a standard He should aim
high, and always keep in mind his ideal,
or copy, and not some subsequent, but dis
tant approach to it. In securing quality
the first step is the breed, and then the
feed, and these two go hand in hand in
producing good mutton.

SAYS RAPE IS GOOD FOR
SHEEP

II APE is a luxuriant plant and requires
K rich soil for its best growth. 1t will
thrive upon clayey Soils too; and does
better than mangels or turnips. Light soils
are not rich enough for it and the crop
is usually light when an attempt is made
to grow it such soils.
Newly cleared land and old pastures
plowed in the fall and worked early in the
spring by cross disking and pulverizing, are
especially adapted for producing a success
ful crop.
There are several varieties of rape, some
of which are grown for fodder and others
for seed. The seed varieties are ANIMALS
and worthless for fodder. The one
variety that is to be recommended in this
country for fodder is the Dwarf Essex
biennial, which seems to show great
adaptability to different soils and climatic
conditions and to yield a wonderful crop
of luxuriant leaves, valuable for as
fodder.
The poorest rape grown at the Minnesota
station on seven-tenths OF acre of ground
maintained sixteen lambs for twenty-five
days. In another season one-half acre was
eaten by twenty-one wethers in ten weeks
with an additional one pound of grain per
head daily.
An estimate has been made that one acre

this sour milk in the cream goes into the
butter milk, the rest remains in the butter
and besides hurting its looks, it is bad for
the keeping of the butter. The only way
separator does the work perfectly but hand
skimming may also be done successfully
before the milk is c1abbered. This careful
skimming entails little extra trouble per-
haps, but the trouble is made up for when
it comes to churning, for such cream turns
to butter with. less labor than that mixed
with milk.
The streaks in butter are due to i'm
perfect sailing. Salt darkens makes rich
er the hue of butter, the unsalted remaining
as when churned If the salt is added while
the butter is still in a granulated form
1T will penetrate to all parts alike and a
uniform and pleasing appearance is the
result
The color may be deepened if desired by
a Judicious use of coloring matter but
nothing unless convinced beyond doubt that
it contains nothing deleterious to the health
of the consumer.
Many still use the oId-fashioned dasher
churn and think they must gather the
butter before sailing. This is not necessary.
II the churn is a wooden one a hole may
be bored near the bottom with good sized
auger and a cork or wooden plug be
used for stopping this hole.
As the granules of butter rise to the top,
buttermilk may be drawn off and water
poured in to wash the butter. This in turn
is drawn off and the operation is repeated
until the water is clear and the butter is
then ready for sailing.
If the churn is an earthen one, then the
granulated butter and buttermilk may be
poured into a sieve which will hold the
butter and let the liquid escape, and the
water may be poured through again and
again till all traces of buttermilk are
moved

KEEP PURE WATER FOR
COWS

II ROM my own tests in a dairy that was
II producing one hundred and sixteen gal
Ions day, stopping the water in the
automatic basins by the side of the cows,
reduced the amount of production eleven
gallons a day in less than one week
This test was made the same feed
and the cows were watered twice a day from
the yard tank.
The decrease of eleven gallons per day
of fourteen cent milk amounted to more
than forty-five dollars a month during the
winter months.
The basins at the top of the pipe are
fastened at the side of the stall or stanchion
and have covers that the lifts with
her nose when drinking. The water comes
in fast as it is taken out.
The covers keep out all dust and litter
and the pipes securely fastened to the
bottom of the manger and are out of the
way.
Various makes of automatic basins are
adapted to different sizes of pipe and all
have some good points in their favor.
Any man who has noticed a cow go from
a warm stable and drink a few pals of
ice water from a yard tank and return to
her stall and shake for an hour or more,
should be ready to introduce a better plan
of watering in his stable.-J. NJ. Kelley.
