Points in Butter Making.


When butter will not gather the
difficulty can be traced usually to ad-
vanced lactation or too low a tempera-
ture OF cream. The milk from one
COW long in lactation is sufficient to
spoil a whole churning The vlscosity
Of such milk renders separation of but.
ter fats slow and imperfect. 1t often
happens during the winter months that
butter, or cream, rather, will break or
separate into small particles, which re-
fuse to adhere or gather, in spite Of all
coaxing. The only remedy is to raise
the temperature of the whole mass up
to the proper degree. In this work the
dairy thermometer is almost indis-
pensable, as 1t will save much time
and worry. If the churn Is revOlv-
Ing one and the cream just breaks into
minute particles, refusing to gather,
then add warm water to that used In
rinsing the butter until it reaches about
64 degrees. The butter particles will
generally adhere after a few revolu-
tions Of the churn. Trouble of this
kind can be avoided. Before attempt
Ing to churn the cream should be test
ed until GA degrees Is reached in win
ter, and should be smooth and velvety
and have the required degree Of acid
ity. If this degree of warmth is not
impaired to cream by the temperature
of the room in which 1t is kept, then 1t
can be raised to the right degree by
setting the cream jar or can in a
larger one containing warm water

doors, but the weight and pulley Is to
be preferred for lighter doors. A SIM
pie arrangement is to have the black
smith make holes at intervals in a fiat
strip Of iron, SO that it may be screwed
to the door near the top. Hook chain
In the hole in the end Of this strip, run
1t through a pulley (obtainable at u
hardware store for few cents) fasten-
ed to the frame Of the door or the jamb,
as 1t is popularity known, and on the
other end fasten piece of iron of the
desired weight. Usually window
weights are used for this purpose, but
they should not be SO heavy, for light
door, that they will cause the door to
close too quickly. The illustration
shows the idea plainly.

been run into the throat six or eight
inches, the depth depending on the size
of the hog, it should be given a quick
turn to one side and withdrawn. The
arteries that are to be cut run close
together, just inside Of the breast bone.

Setting Trees In Winter.

Fruit and shade trees may be set any
time during the winter If the soil is in
proper condition for the work, says a
report by the Oklahoma Station. The
condition Of the soil at the time trees
are set has more to do with the success
or failure Of the trees than does the
season Of setting. If the land is In
good condition in the fall, and the trees
can be obtained, it Is better to set them
then than to wait and run the risk Of
not having the soil in good condition
later on. The land should be in thor
ough state Of cultivation and should be
moist enough to work well when the
trees are set. If they are in good con-
ditlon there Is no need Of watering
them
Trees set in the fall may be little
difficult to protect from rabbits, but
they are usually in better condition to
start growth in the spring than those
that have been heeled in all winter.
There are not so many poor trees sold
in the fall as In the spring, and for this
reason fall setting usually gives better
results than spring setting.

Winter Work on Farms.

One Of the greatest needs on the
average Southern farm nowadays is
more work in winter. Ever since |
could remember, it has seemed to me
that life ON the common Georgia farm
is too much Of happy-go-lucky style.
To get results In anything, one has to
keep everlastlngly at it, 50 TO speak.
For years / have heard staid old farm
ers discussing fall plowing and spring
blowing, but have seen too little Of
it in actual observation, writes j. c.
NJ, in the Southern Cultivator.
There used to be an idea, which Is
still prevalent, concerning results from
fall and winter plowlng. Some ar
gued it was injurious to plow deep in
the fall, Others that it was absurd tC
plow in the sprlngtime to any great
depth. The truth of the matter is that
good plowing at any time when the
soil is in good condition is good thing
to do. Usually in the spring the sub
soil Is too wet TO plow, and when II
is turned up or broken in this condi
tion damaging results are likely to oc
cur.

self to show what an exceedingly re-

why horse flesh should have been in

How 10 XIII a Pig.

The pig should be thrown on Its back,
and held until stuck. One man should
stand astride the body, with his feet
close against its sides and take hold
of the front legs. In this way the hog
can be easily controlled. Another per
son should do the sticking. A narrow,
straight-bladed knife, eight inches
long, should be inserted In the hogs
throat, after making an incisior
through the skin, just in front of the
breast bone. The point of the knife
should be directed toward the root Of
the tail and held exactly In line Will

Sixty years was the limit set by DR..
Osler to an active and useful life. The
famous assertion of the former John
Hopkins professor has been accepted
and repudiated alternately many times
of late in high business and political
circles.
AS a result of the near-acceptance
of the Osler theories by the board of
regents of the University of Mime
sofa, six old "profs' will lose their

created a commotion in the university
circles and throughout the state, as

considered able.

ting for the city of Pendleton to take

matter last evening, making no sug-

other than that the surrounding towns
should be invited to cooperate.
1t is possible that the Commercial
