EARLY Flowing Away. Best.

EARLY Flowing Always Best.
Last summer we got field of wheat
stubble about half plowed when other
work called us away. The remaining
stubble was turned under early this
spring, and the whole field planted to
corn. The corn on last summers plow-
Ing Is now several inches taller than
that on the land plowed this spring,
and Is ranker and better in every
other way.
There is difference between sum-
mer and fall plowing, the difference be-
Ing in favor of the summer plowing.
Turning a green growth into the soil
seems to be very much better than
turning an equal growth under, but
waiting until 1t has matured and dried
before doing It. Here or this farm
we aim to do all the plowing possible
this summer. 1t may be hot work but
the days are long and one does not
need to hurry the teams. Not only Is
1t better to get the work done as soon
as possible for any crop to be sown
this fall, but our experience proves to
us that the earlier the better If corn
is to be the next crop.-Farmer's Mail

Acidity and Butter Flavor.

1t has been generally accepted
theory among teachers of and writer's
on dairy subjects that the production
Of good butter necessitates the devel-
opment of certain amout of acid in
the cream, for two reasons, to develop
desirable flavor and to improve the
keeping quality. Recent investiga-
tions by the United States Department
OF Agriculture indicate, however, that
butter made from Pasteurized sweet
cream has better keeping qualities and
remains free from Objectionable flaw
ors for longer time than butter
made from sour cream. II these facts
are established 1t might seem that in
the years to come only sweet cream
would be bought for butter making.

Commercial Egg Farm.

Inc production of market eggs is
probably the safest branch of the poul-
try business, and the amount of capt.
tai invested need not be very large.
In the New England States New York
and New Jersey there are many COM
mercial egg farms, keeping from 500
to several thousand hens. The farm
ers, too, In this section of the country
keep large fiocks for eggs for the East
ern markets, and all seem to be do
Ing well and making money. What
we need In the South Is more egg
farms. Lands are cheap, material for
housing and labor cheap, and, again.
1t Is not necessary in the South to
build such expensive houses. We have
every advantage in the Southland for
producing eggs at less cost than our
Northern brothers, and with quick and
satisfactory railroad facilities to the
Eastern markets the South should be-
come the greatest poultry producing
section Of the entire country.
Other branches Of the poultry indus
try may pay better than egg farming,
but none are attended with so little
worry and risk and are so certain Of
steady returns and a fair remunera-
tion for the time and money expended.

Milking.


Milking under quiet, favorable con-
ditions is quite important, for the fol-
lowing reasons plainly set forth by
John Burroughs, the eminent natural
ist, in speaking Of the supposed pow
er of cows to "hold-up" their milk
Says Mr.. Burroughs: Most farmers
and country people thing that the
giving down or holding up the milk
by the cow is voluntary act. In
fact, they fancy that the udder is a
vessel filled with milk, and that the
cow releases or withholds 1t just, as
she chooses. But the udder Is man
ufactory; 1t Is filled with blood from
which the milk is manufactured while
you milk. This process is controlled
by the cows nervous system; when
she is excited or in any way disturb
ed, as by stranger, or by taking
away her calf, or any other cause, the
process Is arrested and the milk will
not flow. The whole process is as in
voluntary as is digestion in man, and
Is disturbed or arrested in about the
same y."-Missouri Dairyman.
