Keeping Cream Sweet.

The first step in keeping cream
sweet is to keep it as clean as pos
sible. Clean cream cannot be produced
by filthy methods of milking nor by
handling the cream or milk in unclean
utensils Milk cans, stirrers and pals
should be thoroughly scalded in hot
water and dried and exposed to the
sunlight and pure air.
The next step is to remove the ami
NAL heat from the cream as soon as
possible after separating. Run the
cream from the separator into a con-
venient utensil for cooling. A 3 or s.
gallon shotgun can is most convent
ent. Cool the cream in well water
by stirring In a few minutes it can
be reduced to the temperature of the
water. After the cream is cooled 1t
can be added to the cream contained
in the supply can used in delivering
cream to the station. The cream sup
ply can. while being filled and held for
delivery, should be kept in water at
as near the temperature of freshly
pumped water as possible. The aver
age temperature of we'll water in
Kansas is about sc degrees. With it
cream can easily be held at 5S or 60
degrees. and at this temperature will
remain sweet for delivery in good
shane at the station-Kansas Farmer.

less liable to rot than the smoother
varieties does not agree with ny ex-
perience.
Neither can correct conclusion be
drawn from one or two seasons eX-
perience, for soil, location, fertilization
and culture also are factors in the rot
problem. Fruit on rankly-grown
tree is much more subject to rot than
on one more moderately grown. Yet
l think the weather has more to do
with it than any one factor. One
year all our early peaches were quite
subject to rot, while the next year
there was very little rot. Yet with I'M
favorable weather Champions were
practically a total loss, Crosby, stump
and late varieties practically free.
do not think the matter of fuZz VS..
rot worth considering as factor in
setting an orchard, except people do
not wish to buy fuZz.
In regard to hardness Of bud, a
good frost peach we'll grown will stand
more cold than any other peach tree
we ever had on our grounds And
varieties of the frost type (if I may
call them so), Crosby, Pratt's, Hills
Chilli, etc, are more hardy in bud
than many other varieties, especially
of the Crawford class, but with the
varieties of the Chinese type, which
bear young and have hardy bud,
what little hardness. if any, the fuzzy
varieties possess above them is much
more than Offset by their failings.-

CifrOn Preserves.

Pare the fruit and cut it into slices
about the size of caramel, weigh the
fruit and to each pound of it allow
one-half pound of sugar. Put the cit
ron on to cook in fresh water and
boil until quite clear, remove carefully
to colander and drain. Wet the SUI
gar with clear water and boil until
reduced to a sirup, add to this strip
one lemon, sliced thin, and piece of
ginger root for every pound of sugar
that has been used. Put the citron
into the strip and boil together for
twenty minutes. Fill jars with the
fruit, pour in the strip and seal.

Lumbermen employed by the PennsyI-

down near Shohola, Pike county, Pa.
4 huge pine tree was cut down, but the
butt was defective and in order TO Sc

part was cut off. In doing so it was
found that this portion Of the tree was
hollow and the aperture had grown over
so that it was not observable to the
wo0dchopper. In the hollow was an old
fashioned tlint-lock musket. such as was
in use by the pioneers of this region
The spot where the musket was found
is in the neighborhood of the bloody
battle which occurred between the
whites and Indians on July 30. 1910. in
which the former were defeated, and it
