KEEPING MILK AND CREAM.

During the warm weather 1t is diff,
cult to keep cream or milk In the best,
condition without ice. The greatest
trouble that creamery managers have
to contend with now is this lack Of
condition, as 1t is impossible to make
good butter out of poor cream. There
are two things essential in keeping milk
or cream, proper care of every utensil
that touches the milk, and the milk or
cream must be cooled as quickly as
possible and kept cool. A dirty milk
pail sets bacteria to work before the
milk is strained. Milk setting about
the stables becomes contaminated and
trouble begins. To keep milk, first see
that the cows do not drink muddy or
foul water; get the milk out Of the
stables as quickly as possible. and then
cool the milk, and don't mix milkings.
What the dairyman most needs is a
good, cool milk house. Ice is by far the
easiest and cheapest refrigeration, but
not all dairymen are situated so that
they can put up ice, and many who are
suitably situated will not do It. Where
ice is not used then one must resort
to cold water, or to the old-fashioned
outdoor cave. But in order to keep
milk and raise the maximum amount
of cream. or to keep cream in fit con-
dition, until II is delivered to the
creamery, one must have some ar
rangement for cooling, or the work will
be done under many disadvantages.

The TURKEY CROP.

Last fall when was travelling
through Missouri I noticed a great
many flocks OF turkeys on farms. Often
one would see a bunch of from fifty to
100, big, bronze fellows that would
weigh from fifteen to twenty-five
pounds and when these would
sell from $3.50 to $3.50 each, 1t will be
seen that the business is very profit
able. The expense Of raising them is
very small, as turkeys are great for
ayers and they pick up their living
about the farm where bugs and grass
hoppers are plentiful. Those who are
very successful tell me that turkeys
are very hard to raise up to five or six
weeks, as they are very puny and liable
to all sorts of complaints. But, hav-
ing passed that period, they are no
more trouble and grow very fast. Tur-
keys cannot stand confinement as well
as chickens, and 1t is best to allow
them to follow their own inclination
and roost in the trees or on the sheds,
instead Of on low perches. There is
nothing better than corn for fattening,
and they must be given all they will
eat for three or four weeks just before
marketing

THE CLOVER SEED CROP.

There is sure to be very heavy
demand this season for clover seed, and
current high prices are bound to fetch
on to the market a great deal of poor
seed. There seems to be no way to
effectively debar the inferior seed from
the market, for as one dealer puts It.,
eight farmers out of ten will buy the
seed cheapest in price. There is need
situation. There is no economy in
buying seed, 40 per cent. contamina-
ton, at So per bushel, when clean,
high grade seed may be had at from
$40 to $12. Low grade seeds are slow
to gernSnate, and a large per cent. of
even the pure, seeds will fail to germi-
nate at all. If there is anything which
1t will pay to buy, because of cheap
ness, it is not seeds of any kind.

Work has been started on the ad-
dition to the building of the Citizen S
Electric Light and Power Company
in Pearl place. The new engine, dy-
namo and generator are expected
here in a few days.
The addition, like the main build
ing, will be erected of terra Gotta
blocks. 1t is about half the size of
the present building and is being
built on the west side of it, When
the addition is up and the new ma
chinery installed, the plant will be
capable of furnishing current enough
for some time to come. One of the
directors said this morning that the
new engine will be of the same make
as the present crude oil machine, but
of a different style and considerably
larger and more powerful than the
present one, which has three cylin-
ders.
The present plant is capable of
furnishing $50 horsepower, or forty
amperes. 1t is said that when the
new addition is complete, the plant
will be capable of producing about
three times as much.
