Making Devonshire Cream.
by Jennie N. WiIgsr. Illinois.

By Jennie M. Wilssc, 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 1t 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 1t that the Devonshire
cream is considered such a luxury?
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 1t Is
the particularly rich cream of the countries
referred to, but such Is not the case.
We may any of us have Devonshire cream
on our tables IL we will take the trouble to
prepare 1t. Modus operandi is as follows:
Rich new milk is put In very shallow
vessel with an extended surface, and IL Is
then placed on the range, where the milk Is
allowed to warm. but 1t is closely watched
that 1t does not boil or even scaid.
The heat will soon cause all the cream to
rise to the surface and the pan is then
taken of and placed In the ice-box or other
cool place.
When thoroughly chilled the cream is
taken on and Is nearly Of the consistency Of
newly made butter. This is put In jars and
at breakfast Is served with oatmeal or any
thing that ordinary cream is used for.
Its merits are that not only does one oh
tain the richest cream, but it will keep two
or three days without souring.
have made butter from cream treated in
this manner and think 1t just as superior
Devonshire cream Is superior to the COM
mon article.
Much of the success in the process depends
upon the quick reduction OF temperature
when the milk Is taken from the range.
have changed this much of the method as 1t
suits me better:
That is, / place the milk vessel over
kettle of boiling water. giving the milk a
steam bath instead of heating on the range.
There Is no perceptible difference In results.
II any who are troubled with "frothy
cream" and "churnings that won't come"
will give this method fair trial, feel as
sured that complaints will cease.

To Make Plants Hump.

Better plan now for the Garden for II Is
the early vegetables that gets the money.
plant beds which is very applicable to the
early garden. Sheets of cheese cloth are
made the size of the bed and tackled ON q
light frame as cover. This gives added
heat, saves moisture and protects from in
sects and cold.
By this means lettuce. radishes and other
early vegetables may be had two weeks
earlier than In the open ground. The cheese
cloth costs about cents per square yard
and lasts two or three seasons.
i To many the ideal garden Is square acre
and contains the family berry rows and
the grape treIlfs. but after years OF work
on this plan, we have relocated the grapes
and berries to the small fruit garden, the
main crop-tomatoes, cabbage and sweet
corn--to the truck garden, and gone back
to the small kitchen garden near the house
There we have our beds or rows of let
tuce. spring onions. radishes, beets, early
cabbage. caulifower. egg plant. early beans
we may care to grow.
Then In a corner Of the field broken for
farm crops. we grow our sweet corn,
squashes. cabbage, melons, parsnips, okra,
pole BEANS lima beans and the like. These
are grown In rows and cultivated with
horse and 5-shovel cultivator.
The kitchen garden gets the poultry
manure. with an occasional 100 pound sack
OF 10 per cent acid phosphate-this perhaps
once In three years. Wood ashes from the
kitchen stove are always applied to the
SmaAi 6dfucus anu Wuife ours was pretty
thin soil when we began on it twenty years
ago. 1t would now make fair crop of
garden stun without manure.
While the general writer on gardening
always advises deep blowing. we have some
times practiced the opposite with excellent
results. Part of our garden Is usually
spaded, and / once stirred the spade spot
with a 5-shovei cultiyator about 3h inches
deep and made the beds the next day. 1t
was the earliest and best garden L ever
had. OF course believe In moderately deep
breaking and thorough pulverization OF the
Sole. NJ. S.. Illinois.

The Boy and His Pigeons.

as they feed their young until old enough
to feed and care for themselves.
Get the pigeons tame: keep them So
There Is more profit in pets than in scary
birds.
There is growing demand for better
quality and heavier weights.
Albert Parker says squads that weigh
under eight pounds to the dozen seldom
sell at q profit.
Those who hope to make money out of
poorly grown squads will be sadly dis
appointed.

and has bright. clear eye: the body Is
plump and the feathers smooth.
Construct the fly SO that the pigeons can
not perch on the roof
New grain. musty grain or irregular feed
ing is the cause Of considerable mortality
in the pigeon loft.
AS soon as the squads are removed from
the nests to kill. remove the litter and
disinfect. Never allow the birds to build
upon the old nest material
1t Is more difhcult to tell the age than
IT Is to determine the sex of pigeons.
Before they have moulted. young birds
can be distinguished by their duller plu-
mage. due to the nest feathers OF dark
birds being edged with brown. Their wing
pinion feathers are smaller, more pointed
and frequently brownish at the tips.

Poultry Laying Breed Pays Best.
Miller purvis.

While 1t is true that the average farmer
VIII naturally choose general purpose breed
G now i 'or ms M. use i Is also true that this
price eggs have been bringing for year or
two. and the fact that the average of prices
is much higher than 1t ever was up to within
very short time. has emphasized the fact
that the production of eggs is more profit
able than the production OF poultry meat.
The common objection against laying
breeds Is that they are too small to make
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--twenty-
four ounces to the dozen-and no breed will
produce more eggs year.
AS winter LAYERS. I have found them fully
equal to Plymouth Rocks or the Wyandottes,
and have kept the three breeds side by
side year after year.
The egg farmer will sell his surplus cock
erels for broilers and I know from actual
demonstration that Leghorn cockerei will
grow to weigh one pound even one ana
one-half poqnds as quickly as a cockere- of
are the weights at which broilers are 1aost
profitable.
1t is also true that it does not COS. any
more to produce 100 pounds Of Leghor- fowls
than 1t does to produce like nc-cer OF
pounds of any other breed.
I fail to see what difference 1t makes in
the end II we have fourteen Plym outh Rock
chickens weighing 100 pounds Io sell. or
number of pounds, If the one c<st the same
as the other. for the selling p-:ce is always
the same per pound.
There is great difference in individuals
in the matter Of egg-proc1cing, as was
shown by the years test at the Maine Ex-
pertinent Station. where one White Wyan-
dotte hen did not lay single egg in year.
and another laid 240. Both Of these birds
are exceptions from the general rule. and
show what may be expected from the selec-
tion of laying individuals and breeding from
them to produce strain.
From present indications. there Is going
to be a great demand for the laying breeds
and a steady increasing demand for eggs,
and he who selects one Of the prolific sort
will do wisely.

Common Sense Feeding.
D. A. Kilmer.

Whe- 7 irst began 70 raise poultry was
governed BY books - Information. ] fed
whole grain, throw, IL the litter and dirt
fed warm mash a-.d artificial; poultry food
as therein recommended. bought scrap
meat; bought bone crusher: tried &c
hatch chickens in the laying nests. The re-
suit was perfect failure.
! wouldn't feed grain, mash or artificial
poultry food Ii could get them for nothing.
then put up nine Matching nests in the hen
These prepared Matching nests gave gooe re-
suits. In the forenoon. for music. our fowls
can knock out Sousa's band They 10 not
make any discord; their songs are cheering.
In 19o4-'05 we wintered eighty four hens
ana three roosfers--quite a large family for
so small house: yet they agree so well
that there would be room for more. Our
chicks and hens have all the feed they want,
and they want all they get. and they get IL
any time they want the year round.
I think I would be cruel IL didn't let
them do their own grinding. I use mica
grit and ground oyster shells. which keeps
their gizzards in good grinding condition.
We also feed dry clover heads and leaves.
For the last four years meat scrap and
crushed bone that our hens got cost $1.25;
so We have more use for our bone crusher.
Our hens have the farm run.
The hens nests are dark enough. so that
when the hens are on the nests they do not
pretend to scratch. This gives clean eggs.
We have nine grain feed dishes. twenty-four
laying hens nests. a dust box. 2x4 feet /: one
barrel of road dust. one water pail. one pail
for thick milk. and the actual floor space OF
the henhouse is Shx16h feek
Some poultry men think It advisable to
lay down their winter eggs the last Of Ser
TENDER for winter use. and give the fowls
rest for three or four months. II we were
to do so we would have to change our stock.
For proof will give record for one year
OF our seventy-fcur hens; eggs secured

Best Time to Prune.
Prof. L. H. Bailey. Cornell College of Agri-
culture

culture.
There is an old adage which says: "For
wood prune in wrinter: for fruit prune in
summer" Prof. Bailey says = There 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 and efficient the
root. the larger the top. II we remove a
large portion Of the top. there Is an en-
deavor 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 the
growing points
The object of summer pruning is to les
sen the number Of leaves. so that the growth
OF the wood may be checked. This should
not be done too early. as II may stimulate
wood growth. and if too late. the buds may
not develop. Midsummer is 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 Is 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
fty and quantity of the fruit may be remed-
led by the proper cutting at a seasonable
time

MY experience is that the hens that give
the best results at the least cost must be
bred and reared for the purpose intended.

HAS HAD FAIR RETURN
State of Indiana Greatly Benefited by
the enforcement of Fish and
Game Laws.

Columbus, Ind, March IA local
paper has said that it would be anus
ing to have some one figure out how
Indiana has been benefited by the
expenditure of $4,000 in two years
in the enforcement of the fish and
game laws and in the destruction of
thousands of dollars worth of proper
ty, such as seines, etc.
Commissioner Il. 7. Sweeney, of this
city, has taken exceptions to this
statement and has replied to the pub
LEGATION. He says that the Indiana
fish and game commission has cared
for and placed in Indiana waters g.
061 900 black bass. At the prices
quoted for these fish by the bass hat
cherries of the country this represents
a commercial value of S206, 100, which
Mr. Sweeney thinks is fair return
for the s41, 900 expended. He says
that is only one item of the revenue
derived by the state and the good
done by the commission, and he is
much gratified that both the house
and senate, by large votes, incorporat-
ed the changes in the fish and game
laws which he recommended.

THEY WERE CLASSMATES
Their Friendship Continued From
Time They Were Girls Until
Death INTERVIEWED.

Greenfield, Ind, arch 1.-THE
death of Mrs Elizabeth Bradley.
whose burial came this afternoon, at
tracted attention to an unusually long
and close friendship that existed be-
tween the Bradleys and Mr.. and Mrs
Joseph Boots, of this city. Sophia
Sells and Elizabeth Gray received
their education in district school in
Clermont county, Ohio. They were
classmates during all their school
days, Mr. Bradley married Miss Gray
in 1874, and year later Mr.. Boots
led Miss Sells to the altar. Each
couple stood up" at the marriages of
the other. Each boy that attended one
term of this school married one Of the
girl pupils, and all of them lived to
old age
The Boots and Bradleys later re-
moved to this city. the intimacy of
their childhood always continuing.
Mr.. Bradley and Mr.. Boots for sever
al years conducted the Greenfield
Touring mills, and they were part
ners in numerous enterprises and uni
formly successful. In all these Years
there was probably not a day that
two of the four persons were not to-
gether for a few minutes at least.
Both men became wealthy, but always
maintained the oldtime simplicity in
living and customs. 1t is said that
neither seldom made a large transac-
ton without consulting the other.
Each of the men is eighty-five years
old and Mrs Boots is eighty, all en-
joying good health, but stricken with
grief by the death of their companion
of more than three-fourths of a Gen.
tury.
