Buttermilk From Skim Milk.

The best and most palatable kind
Of buttermilk can be made from skim
milk in the following way. writes
Prof. o. F. HunIiker, of Purdue Uni
versity, Ind:
Allow the skim milk to sour and
curdle, either by adding good starter
or by letting 1t sour naturally, at a
temperature Of about seventy degrees
F. When the curdling has reached
the stage where the milk begins to
whey on. put it into a churn (any
kind Of churn will do for this) and
add about ons-fourth to one-third of
Its bulk Of buttermilk to it. Even
smaller amounts Of buttermilk will
answer the purpose.
Now churn the mixture until the
curd in the skim milk is completely
broken up. The churning should be
continued until all the Jumps have
entirely disappeared and the mixturs
has become homogeneous. This is
usually accomplished in from ten to
fifteen minutes. The contents OF the
:hurn are now ready for consumption.
This preparation is by far superior
to buttermilk made in the ordinary
way. 1t has more body, is smooth
and velvety, and has a mild, rich and
agreeable buttermllk flavor, which is
highly relished by the consumer.
Upon standing. the curd does not
separate out and whey on as readily
as is the case with the ordinary but
termilk.

Market Demand For Hogs.

Before the annual meeting of the
National Association of Expert Swine
Judges ]. ]. Ferguson, OF Chicago,
gave an illustrated lecture on the
market demands for swine. In part
he said:
"Of necessity packers can have no
choice as to breed or color, since
there is a place and use for every
grade OF hog coming to The Stock
Yards. The market almost any day
will show a range from the heavy
sow or stag weighing TOO to 500
pounds down to the light shipper pig
Of forty to nifty pounds weight.
The demand for hogs of various
weights and the prices paid depend
upon the market for lard and pro-
visions. When the supply Of lard IL
short the price of lard advances and
consequently heavy lard hogs are in
demand, with prices correspondingly
advanced. II at any time the market
for lard 10 slow and the supply ample
the lightweight hog suitable for pro-
ducing high-cla:s hams and bacon
will bring top prices.
Under average conditions the hog
worth the most money in the open
market will weigh from 200 to $50
pounds. He should be smooth and
evenly covered, without any excess
Of fat over the shoulders. along the
back or on the hams. Good length
and depth of side is desirable since
the side mat is cured into bacon,
which sells for more money than any
other part OF the hog carcass.
Those qualities most desirable in
pure-bred hogs for breeding purposes
are also in demand by the packer,
viz. smooth. even quality. with even
heshing, and an absence of coarse.
ness of any part or surplus develop.
ment of bone.
THE tendency of the time il stead.
lily toward lighter and leaner cuts of
meat. Farmers will ind 1t much
more profitable to produce the early
maturing middle-weisht packer hog
above mentioned.
In this connection 1t IL interesting
to note the leading experimental sta
tions have clearly demonstrated that
the gains made by hogs up to -thia
weight-200 or ESQ pounds-are
made much more economically than
those put on after the hogs have
passed this weight"

arose later, but through 10 fault OF the

the land department.

John and Ed Nassau, Of Spokane, and

The Chicago company has expended
enough money on the placer to insure
the public the dredge will be installed.
They prospected the ground thoroughly

The Importance Of the dredge TO min

at this time, but there are a number Of
old placer miners who believe the ma
chine viii dig up riches from the low
bedrock greater than was taken out
by the thousands OF miners with pans
and rockers during the rush CT fifty
years ago. Estimating what the Chi
nese took out, government reports
place the output Of gold from this dis
trict at $40, 900, 900. The crude method
Of working the gravel did not permit
Of placer mining in deep bars, OF where
two rivers flow together, just the
places where placer gold is found in
largest quantities.
