Bitter NE;l-z.

Abnormal flavors in milk and milk
products may be due to a number of
causes, as it is well known that certain
weeds eaten by cows impart n charac-
~teristic flavor to the mix. Wil2 onion
or garlic is a noticeable Instance.
A recent bulletin of the Ontario Ex-
pertinent Station gives come Interesting
observations on bitter milk. In this
case. however, the bitter flavor was
caused by a form of yeast rather tllan
by bacteria. Numerous cheese facto-
ries in Ontario were annoyed by the
development Of q bitter favor IL milk
and curd. From a sample of such curd
2. yeast-like micro-orSanisn designated
Torula amara. or bitter torula. was
isolated. This yeast. when separated
from all other HETEROGENEOUS and ad-
ded to milk which had been rendered
sterile by heat, produced the charac-
t~eristic bitter flavor. Cultures of the
torula were added TO milk. and the
cheese and butter manufactured from
it also possessed the bitter taste.
In preventing such troubles as bit
ter milk, proper care of the milk Is
essential. Milk cans and all other uten-
stlz should be thoroughly washed and

Wiuter-AIade BUtte-.

You cannot produce E:aecluss 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 a 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 s%econd-rate price
for groceries.
The tradesmen ship it in lots to the
city market, where all the way through.
whether it end 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 vas as
good as that which is employed in turn
ing out the % and 30-cent article.
The inferiority of quality and con-
saGuent loss TO dairymen follows, be-
cause they ignore the right principles
of butter making. Suppose that a farm
err, after raising a fine crop Of potatoes
and digging them, 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 even the most OBJ
fuse are thoroughly well aware Of this
fact.
And yet, those who use common n
in this respect. with uncomfortable folly,
will spoil good cream and butter by
wanton neglect. as outlined above. 1t
is pretty costly neglect, too, as it for
feits from 8 to 10 cents on every pound
of inferior butter.
This could all be obviated by churn-
ing cream when it is fresh and. pure.
i. e. Slightly matured. but not bitter,
and manufacturing it into butter ac-
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 30 degrees. 1t is where cream
is kept ut neal 10 degrees, and for sew
eral days, that it develops that bitter
favor ruinous to butter quality

The Art of pIowinE.

There Is an art in blowing. in Other
words, there is Il way to do h work
and get the best results and there is a
way that VIII be quite the opposite.
On the ground that does not need
burrows for drainage. plow from the
center, and to the center alternately,
ard in this way keep the field free
from burrows and ridges, especially at
the corners
S. Z. Hartman. an experienced farm
or. says he has seen fields having the
soil so plowed away along the lines
running from cente- of field to outside
corners by continually throwing fur
rows toward the outside Of the field,
that crops would hardly grow OF Il strip
8 or 10 feet wide, while much good soil
was piled in Il ridge along the fences
where little use could be made of 1t 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
by blowing lands along each side. This
throws the furrow from the fence, but
creates Il ridge along the back furrow
and does not fill the low places at the
corners.
BY doing a little measuring before
starting to plow, 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. e.
1t is better to pillow rather shallow
in case the soil is dry, in the spring,
than to pillow deeper, say Z or 8 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 b field.
Flowing is not so simple an opera
ton as it would appear, and it is sur
prising how few farmers are really

A LITTLE
lBy he "Parson."O

You are all familiar with what the
poet says about nonsense being a
fine relish. The salad, to be sure,
does not make a dinner-but it is
better than hash and re-hash from the
odds and ends of ~banquets forgot.
We believe it was John Kendrick
Bangs (the Idiot) who declared there
were only thirteen original jokes IN
the world, and that all humorous lit
erature was based on these. The first
was the mother-in-law joke-and ev-
erybody knows the rest.
Since the minstrel show Thursday
night, however, the Parson is con-
WINGED that Mr.. Bangs is a nature
faker and an undesirable citizen.
Dead as a barrel full OF persisted
doornails,
Stale as a weekly papers local news;
All, all are gone, the old familiar
jokelets.
Gone is the quip about the wifery
necktie,
Zone is the laugh on ladies buying
see-gars;
Dead as free silver are the Did famil
lar jokelets.
The trouble with the old familiar
minstrel jokes is that they were all
written by men. But now that wom-
an has invaded the feld of authorship
M minstrelsy, we shall hear no
more of the hackneyed gags that
once were wont to set the table in a
oar. Laughter holding both his

Transformed. with ''quips and quirks
and wanton wiles,"
Age cannot wither her o custom
Stale her infinite variety
No longer hers merely ITO suckle

In writing jokes about the men
there lies a wide field unbroke1- for
