II Is customary to protect straw
berry plants through the winter by
covering them with mulch. This
mulch is raked on the rows in spring.
as soon as the snow is on. allowing
the plants to grow freely Some very
conscientious growers rake the mulch
entirely out OF the field. This is done
SO as to permit the running OF culti-
va;ors between the rows Such spring
tillage is unquestionahly = good thing,
though 1t IL troublesome and expen-
sive. Some men even go 30 far as
to put back the mulch after cultivat-
ing the ground Usually the mulch Is
left between the rows. as close to
the plants as possible. II thus serves
to protect the fruit from becoming
soiled during rain storms. Without
such protection the dirt spatters up
oato the berries. and leaves them In

A great deal has been said and
written about the importance of keep
ing dairy utensils perfectly clean, but
not so much about the churn, and if
proper care is not exercised in keep
ing the churn sweet and clean. the
butter will be tainted, no matter how
well the milk has been cared for be-
fore being ready for the churn. A
small brush is convenient article to
use about the churn, as it is some
what difficult to clean the corners
and joints with 4 cloth, and it is
these that hold the milk and make
breeding places for microbes. Before
beginning the work of churning, we
have good supply of boiling water
ready to use just as soon as the
churning is finished, and the churn is
much easier to clean. Cold water is
used first to wash off the milk adher-
ing TO the sides, and then immediate
ly remove the milk and butter from
the churn. BY doing this boiling
water is used freely and in such
way that is will reach the corners
and crevices. The inside OF the
churn is thoroughly scrubbed once a
week with strong hot suds, and then
rinsed with two hot waters with a
little soda in the second After the
churn is scalded. 1t is placed in the
