HINTS FOR FARMERS
Preparing For churnina.


Before putting the cream into the
churn the churn should be scalded thor
oughly with hot water and then rinsed
well with pure, cold water. This will
freshen the churn and will fill the
pores Of the wood with water so that
the cream and butter will not stick.
Let me say right here that we think
that the churn has great deal to do
with the appearance of the butter. We
use an ordinary barrel churn because
it churns easily and quickly and there
is no dasher or paddles inside to beat
and break the grain and make the but
ter look like lard with butter coloring
in it.
All cream should be thoroughly
strained into the churn. This removes
the possibility Of white specks in the
butter, which usually consist of curd
or dried particles of cream.
Butter should be churned until the
granules are about the size of wheat.
When larger than this, it is more diff
cult to remove the buttermilk and dis
tribute the salt--Mrs. Woolman Before
Indiana Dairy Association.

Farm Wisdom.


The wise farmer uses an account
book all the year
This is the time to get next years
feed supply ready.
Guesswork seldom pays. You can't
always guess right.
A poor pasture often makes unruly
fence breaking stock.
Glover in the orchard and pigs in the
clover is about right.
Wood ashes are too valuable as fer
tilizers to be thrown away.
The small farmer usually stands the
best chance of winning.
It's the closely fed pasture that is
sure to be close another year.
Sheep are great when it comes to put
ting fertility back into the soil.
A good line fence will preserve
friendly feelings between neighbors.
The size of the profit does not neces-
sarily depend upon the size of the farm.
Manure never contains greater sup
ply Of plant food than when 1t is first
made.-KimbalPs Dairy Farmer.
