The cream should be held at this
temperature, by keeping it sur.
rounded with warm water, until
little acidity is detected and
then it is cooled as much az pos-
sible aud kept cold until ready
for churning. The temperature
at which to churn is governed by
the season aud the sort of feed
In summer, when COWS are fed
on pasture principally, temper
ature of 60 degrees is best. In
winter, when dry feed is used
altogether, 62 or 81 degrees, and
if much cottonseed meal is fed,
a higher temperature, even as
high as 70 if cottonseed meal
and hulls are fed alone.
THF CHURN AND THE CHURNING.
A barrel churn is the best. The
churn should first be rinsed in
scslding water and then a pail
full Of cold water dashed in.
After this is drawn out the cream
or milk is strained in through
butter-milk strainer or a com.
mon gravy strainer. The churn-
ing should proceed until the
butter has come" in small gran
ules about the size of No. 4
birdshot. A cold brine is now
added to cause it TO granulate
more rapidly.
The butter milk is then drawn
of and clean cold water added.
This is drawn off and the same
process repeated un'ii the water
runs clear. This removes the
butter-milk which would other
wise cause the butter to sour in
a few days. When water is all
out the butter should appear in
granuies; this is proof of proper
churning. The butter is now
ready for sailing and working.
The sailing should be done to
suit the customer. The work
ing must be done with wooden
l4dle or something else especially
for the purpose. Butter should
never be touched with the hand,
it will destroy the grain and cause
it to appear oily. Print into as
neat cakes as possible and wrap
in specially prepared butter
paper. Felix Williams.

BUSINESS FARMING.
What the Editor of Georgia's Lead
ing Agricultural Paper Saw on
a Recent Visit to South
Carolina
The Southern Cultiyator.

Ol FARMERS In the S0uth
1. Farmers who inherited their
business.
2. Farmers who can not do
other kinds of business.
8. Farmers who like the free
dom and ease of the country.
4. Farmers who are poor
renters and must make living
for their families.
5. Negro farmers.
6. A few business farmers.
In our travels over the country
we find now and then few who
are making farming a business
proposition, and are going at it
with the same energy; with the
same push and with the same
sound principles that they would
exercises in any other calling.
These men are usually engaged
10 other lines, and our regular
country farmers are prone to dis
parage the success of these men,
claiming that they spend more
than they make. Sometimes
this is true, and sometimes not.
On a recent trip to South Car
olina we visited two such far
mers and we want to tell you
few things about them. While
In Columbia we went out to the
asylum to see Mr.. j. w. Bunch,
the efficient treasurer and farm
manager. Mr.. Bunch was elect
ed treasurer of this institu-
tion several years ago, and the
duties otifarm manager has been
gradually assumed on account of
his natural love for farming and
his peculiar fitness for it. When
he took hold of the farm of about
26O acres lying within the city
limits of Columbia this farm was
not selt-sustaining. BY charg-
ing the farming to all labor, fer
tilizers and other expenses and
then crediting it by the produce
grown at regular prices, he clear
ed on this farm last year $4,000
His gross proceeds were $32 900.
His labor bill $4,000. He grew
1l,000 bushels of corn, averag-
ing Y bushels per acre. We
were shown one crib containing
5000 bushels of ear corn, such a
sight we had never seen before.
They had IT'S head of dairy cat
tie and about Is head TO kill
They were all fat and fine. You
ought to see the manure
they make and the two manure
spreaders putting it over the
land. This was how he grew such
crops Of corn. Mr.. Bunch has
two of the largest silos we have
ever seen. He cuts all the corn
stalks into silage. Some will
want to discount Mr. Bunch's ell
forts by saying ne has the States
money to back him But if you
will 90 there he will show you
every item of expense and also
each item of credit. Mr.. Bunch's
success forever refutes the state
ment that you can not grow corn
in the South at a profit. Sever
ty-two bushels of corn per acre
is much more profitable than
would be a bale of cotton per
acre.
The other instance that 20
much interested us was Mr.. ] S.
Fowler, of Anderson, 5. c., as
he was preparing his cotton land

HOW TO MAKE GOOD BUTTER
AT HOME.
Some Suggestions to the Farmers
Wife Who Handles the Milk
of Only Two or Three
Cows.
The Progressive Farmer.

| lows.
The Progressive Farmer.
The price secured for butter
made by the farmers wife who
milks two or three cows is often
below the cost of feed. A bet
ter price can be had by making
a fancy article of butter and hav.
ing special customers to sell to
instead of bartering it 10 the
grocer or selling to chicken
peddlers."
If the town near you is not
large enough for you TO find
special customers in, you can
combine with your neighbors
and ship TO the city. The hut
ter may be sent to different homes
each week, so that all may share
equally in the trouble OF ship
ping. If you or some of your
neighbors have friends in the
city who buy butter, it is a good
scheme to ship direct to them.
They will be glad, when they
find out that they really get good
butter, to get you to send enough
along TO supply some of their
friends and neighbors. If country
butter is put up in neat uniform
prints and carefully shipped, it
will sell for good price to the
city grocer.
If good price is expected, q,
one must really make good but
ter which will keep fresh and
/ sweet for many days. To do
this, clean milk must be had and
this comes only from healthy
cows fed on sweet grain and 9TH
or forage or on pasture free from
obnoxious weeds-such as wild
onions, ragweed, bitter weed,
etc.-and with pure, fresh wa
ter to drink.
TAKING CARE OF THE MILK.
The milking should be done
in clean place free from odor
and dust. The udder and the
flanks should be dampened and
wiped dry with clean cloth. The
pail should be carefully scalded
and summed or aired. The milk
should be Immediately strained
through a cloth
AS a rule, the whole milk is
churned where only two or three
COWS are kept, but if it is to be
SKINNED, the process must be-
gin at once. The hand separa-
tor is not practical for one hav
ing so few cows, but the deep
cold-setting plan may be prac-
ticed successfully, especially
where flowing water lnay be u.s.
ed. This plan consists in using
2O-inch pans, 8 inches wide,
with strip of glass down the
side. The skimmi!k is drawn
of from the bottom and one can
tell by watching the glass in the
side when the cream is ready TO
run out The same sz d cans
can be used without the glass
be but the cream will have to
dipped of.
This can must Immediately be
set into colo tlowing water The
cream will nearly all have risen
in 10 hours.

be kept as cool as possible until

for upon this depends much of
the flavor of the butter and the
quantity secured. Over-ripe
cream makes strong, cheesy-
tasting butter under-ripe cream
will make hard chutning and a
small quantity. A dairy ther-

a higher temperature for ripen.

Junior Letters to Aunt Laurie

When I look at the beautiful rain
drops falling I can easily imagine gay
little fairies chasing one another, all
eager and anxious to get ahead of each
other, and all bent on one thing-to
bring happiness and good to all the
people. They see a sister fairy in the
shape of a tiny seed, lying dry and
bare upon the earth, and while some
dig the earth and prepare its bed, 9TH
ers pick it UP and place it gently in.
while still others throw up more dirt
and carefully cover it up. Then the
dear little seed fairy nestles comfort
ably for a few days and sleeps, but
soon feeling the warm sun above it, it
opens its sleepy eyes, stretches it's
arms and pushes its dainty head above
the earth and grows and unfolds it's
beautiful clothes, till in a few days
there stands before us a most beautiful
and perfect fairy. It's green dress; so
dainty and fresh, and its snow-white
head looking as though it were snow
flake itself. Those and many other
such things are the fairies I can be-
lieve in. OWEN NOTION.

the full length of the hall.
After looking through this palace, we
went out into the garden, where beau
tiful flowers grew, each one having a

No Desire to Be Fairy

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I am one of your new nieces. We
take The Herald every week, so 1
thought I would try to write some
thing.
L do not, of course, believe in fairies,
but have many books about them and
their ways. They are interesting to
read about, especially for children.
Of course, we know that such Great
ures do not still exist, and that perhaps
they never viii. But they are always
so kind and good and helping those in
trouble, that if they were real the peo-
pie would learn many good lessons from
them
Sometimes I think would like to be
one. They are so pretty and have
such pretty wings, and then 1 think I
would rather be with and stay by
mamma. BEULAH KEITH ER

Fairies in Poor Attire

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The fairies we read about and see
in plays always try to do somebody
some good, especially poor people, so
that after looking at a fairy play or
reading fairy tale it makes me feel
like wanting to be a fairy and imitat-
ing them. I believe in real live fairies
and know some personally, too, SO 1
will tell you about them.
Last year poor family found a sack
of potatoes, flour and a basket full of
good things to eat on their front porch
They said God must have sent it and
believe they were right, but I think
a real live fairy carried those things
there.
The fairies we see in plays and
which we read about always wear
clothes of gold and silver and make
wonderful changes by the touch of
their magic wand.
The real live fairies that set good
things to eat on the doorsteps of the
needy don't always have good clothes
to wear themselves. The poor person
that shares his loaf of bread with the
hungry is always the real fairy.
Thanking you ever SO much for the
nice book 1 received from you for hon
orable mention 1 am as ever,

A Recent Convert

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1 did not believe in fairies a short
time ago. But since 1. read the I'M
finished story contest 1 believe in them
l think that they make the flowers go
to sleep at night.
I love the little fairies, they do SO
many nice things. 1 would like to see
the little fairies, but they keep out Of
sight. believe that fairies sleep in
the day and are awake in the night.
The little fairies open the flowers in
the morning.
Do you believe in fairies? / love TO
read fairy stories, too. The little
fairies use spiderweb curtains. L
would like to visit fairyIand. 1t must
be lovely there. Fairies know what
the water says as it runs along. love
to hear it ripple but I do not know
what it says. Fairies love the spiders
and the spiders spin for them.

queen, Titania, then left me on the
forest outskirts. Hearing a voice cry
ing Go forward, I started stumbling,
nearly railing over a small boulder. To
my humiliation, queer little body
stepped from behind it piping, 'Ah, ha,
SO you don't believe in fairies Re-
solving that I would believe, I started
again. Passing under oak trees, I de-
clded to gather some acorns, the re-
suit being a shower of them on my
head. From every acorn popped a
queer little acorn man. These in

you. With aching head 1 pursued my
way. Hearing a murmur of voices and
stepping nearer to listen, I fell into a
cactus patch. Painfully withdrawing,

myself warm and dry, surrounded by
my former tormenters, who gave me
hearty welcome to their palace.
Taking me by the hand, Titania re-
vealed to me how every one was given
their just deserts. During the even
ing I felt light touch across the
shoulders. Passing a mirror [ per-
ceived gauzy wings issuing from my
shoulders. 1 also saw the queen smile
behind her fan. Strolling out upon the
balcony, I felt myself waited over the
balustrade into the garden beyond.
Looking down toward the lighted
palace, the inhabitants were kissing
their fingers to me. Yet stern Titania
threatened to cause my return and keep
me unless I would always believe in
