Winter-AIaGe Butter.

You cannot produce frst-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 q 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 it in lots to the
city market, where all the way through,
whether it ends in the larder Of a baker
or on the table Of the poor workingman,
it 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
inc on" the % anC 3O-cent article.
The inferiority of quality and con-
| saquent loss to dairymen follows, be-
cause they ignore the right principles
of butter making. Suppose that q farm
er, after raising a fine crop Of potatoes
and digging item, should allow the tu-
bers TO lie a 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 ever the most OBJ
fuse are thoroughly well aware of this
fact.
in this respect. with inconceivable folly,
will spoil good cream and butter by
wanton neglect, as outlined above. It
is pretty costly neglect, too, as it 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,
/. 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 twenty-four hours,
and churned within the next twenty
four. This can be done usually by
keeping it at a temperature Of between
GO and 20 degrees. 1t is where cream
is kept at neal 40 degrees, and for sew
eral days, that 1t develops that bitter
flavor ruinous to butter quality

Horse and Dog MeNt.

In 1906 there were slaughtered for
food in the Kingdom Of SaXony 1920
horses and 3.736 dogs. This was an in
crease Of 224 horses and 1873 dogs over
the year 1903.
In the whole empire In 1906, accord
ing to the Southern Farm Magazine,
there were slaughtered for food 49,
600 horses, and it is estimated that
about 1000 dogs go into food in the
empire annually.

tised in the German newspapers, es-
pecially in those Of the large industrial

not give up their lives under official In

Bitter Milk.

Abnormal lavors in milk and milk

weeds eaten by cows impart a charac-

The Art OF Piowing.

me Art or ROWING.
There is an art In blowing. In other
words, there is a way to do the work
and get the best results, and there is q
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 orners
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 IT ex-
cept to grow briars and weeds. Start
ing the field In the center a few times
will correct this. Some attempt to
correct the ridges along the fences

throws the furrOW from the fence, but
creates a 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 be plowed from the
center. The burrows left from the last
blowing will also help in blowing from
the center.
1t is better to plow rather shallow
in case the soil is dry, in the spring,
than to plOw deeper, say Z or s inches.
But it is best not to turn up too much
subsOil excepting where it is intended
to fertilize heavily, or where it is in
tended to get the surface soil deeper
than that already on the field.
Flowing is not so simple an opera
ton as it would appear, and it is sur-
prising how few farmers are really
good plOWmen.
