Temperature for ChUrnine.

The proper temperature for churn-
ing is the lowest temperature which
can be used and produce proper gran
ules within a reasonable time. A rea-
sonable time is from thirty to forty
five minutes, and fifty minutes or an
hour is not too long. The colder the
temperature, the better the granules
and the less fat lost. The real churn-
ing temperature is the temperature
at which the butter breaks. This is
from two to four degrees higher than
the starting temperature, from the
friction of the machine. If the gran
ules form in less than % minutes, you
may be certain that the temperature
was higher than 1t should have been.
If the butter comes in Is minutes or
less, large amount Of fat is lost in
the buttermilk and the butter will be
soft and greasy in texture. Ordinar-
lily from degrees to 60 degrees Is
about the right temperature.

On one of these trips as the captain
was driving along seated on his load
of wood he suddenly came face to face
with General Harney and his staff.
The general, resplendent in new uni
form and gold trimmings, eyed the
figure of the farmer on the wagon

his horse, Grant stopped his team,
and the pair smiled into each other 5
eyes.

The captain, sitting comfortably
atop his load Of wood, with his AK and
whipstock at his side, shifted one mud
dy boot across the other and drawled
"Well, general, l am hauling wood"
The thing was so obvious and Grant
so naive that General Harney and his
staff roared with laughter. They shook
his hand and joked with him and final
" carried him off to dine with them
at the Planters hotel. That is the

NEW SHORT STORIES
General Grants Early Days.

Mrs. Emma Dent Casey, writing il
the Circle Magazine OF her memories
of General Grant, refutes some popu-
lar legends which have been cur
rent:
There is the famous story of Cap
tain Grant liSing in such poverty that
he had to haul his poor little fagots
of wood through the city with an OK
team and blow on his ungloved fingers
to keep them from freezing.
The truth is that he and his negroes
cut the wood, and he often sent one of
them to the city with load to sell to
the families of a Mr.. Blow and Mr..
Bernard. Mr.. Bernard was the broth
er Of my brother Johns wife. During
the Christmas holidays one winter the
negro who generally drove the team
for Captain Grant was ill, and there
was no one to send in his place.
The captains st. Louis friends sent
him word that they were out Of wood,
and accordingly he hitched up his
team Of white horses to his big wagon,
loaded on the wood and hauled it to
the city himself He probably hauled
several loads in this way. l do not
know how many. Any other man

Ancient Inscriptions.

There are not fewer than 10000 an
cient inscriptions known to the schol-
ar. In France there is an academy Of
inscriptions, while the French acad-
emy long ago engaged NJ. Renan to
undertake the production Of superla-
tive work on this subject to be illus
trated by elaborate Photographic plates.
The work was begun in 1881 and is
still in progress. Longer ago, in 1865,
Mommsen, Hubner and other famous
men, acting for the Berlin academy,
began a complete collection Of ancient
Latin inscriptions. This also is still
under way. The same academy had
already published many volumes and
translations, including 10000 Of the
10000 ancient Greek inscriptions
known to the learned.
The oldest of the Phoenician in
scriptions was written 5000 years ago,
In the reign Of Hiram, king Of the
Sidonians. 1t is the dedication Of a

Cause of Bloody Milk.

Bloody milk may be caused by a
variety of conditions. DR.. Schroeder
declares that some claim that the COW,
fighting flies, kicking and throwing
the body to and fro, will tend to rup-
ture the small blood vessels and thus
cause the trouble. Others hold that
the steady diet Of green, succulent
food and perhaps the arrangement OF
the blood caused by certain weeds,
bring on this trouble. The latter
opinion the doctor is inclined to be-
lieve, for it has been his observation
that many cases can be cured by
changing the pasture or changing the
feed. I'VE have cured cases OF
bloody milk" he goes on to say, "by
giving sulphur and saltpeter mixed
half and half in the feed. Whether
or not this is sure cure I can not
say, but it might be worth trying"

Old Pan Process Bad.

By the old pan process Of raising
cream in the summer time much of
the butter fat is lost, as it fails to
rise. The milk is soured by the time
little more than half the cream con-
tanned In the milk has risen to the
surface, and that which has already
risen is soured beyond the point
where it makes good butter. In the
summer a hand separator is needed
to get all the cream. In the winter
one is needed to get the cream separ'
ated from the milk as quickly as pos
sible that the milk may go to the
calves or pigs with the animal heat
still there. There is no season OF the
year when the hand separator Is not

Oats on Rich Ground.

A Grundy County Ill.) farmer asks
whether oats will do we'll on a field
which was in corn last year and on
which the fall previous rank growth
of clover was turned under. He says
that his corn crop was not what might
have been expected from rich Glow
er sod. He also asks whether the oats
are likely to lodge on this ground. II

cles on oats, published in this paper
during the last three or four months,

mend sowing oats on good ground,
and not relegating 1t to the poorest
piece of ground on the farm. This
soil, no doubt, in Grundy County is a

contains should SOW one OF the early
ripening varieties Of oats. These
early oats grow rather a short. stiff

One other thing l wish to speak OF
here-farmers in Grundy and ada
cent counties are practicing thin seed
ing of oats, usually five or six pecks

over eight pecks Of the large berry
sorts. They claim that they get sitter

BCREAMERY.
SYMPTOMS OF EooTIsM.
Cattle Are Most Susceptible to Thle
Dread Disease.

Dread Disease.
Ergot is a fungus that forms on
the heads Of grasses and grains.
The ergotized seeds several times
larger than the natural seeds, are
hard, black and slightly curved. Rye,
blue grass, oats and red-top may con-
tain the ergot. Ergot is most COM
monty developed on rich soils, In hot
seasons, especially when considerable
moisture is present.
Cattle are most susceptible to the
disease. When eaten, ergot produces
a contraction and finally a closing Of
the blood vessels in the extremities Of
the body-limbs, tail and ears-with
the result that the parts below the
line Of obstruction die and later drop
of. Pregnant COWS may abort. 1t Is
not uncommon to see a steer or a COW
with but one toe on foot, or the abb
sence of the entire foot.
The first symptom Of ergotism is a
slight lameness IN one or more limbs,
later a dark line forms around the
limb somewhere between the knee and
the hoof The line deepens into a
crack containing pus. This crack
shows the line Of separation between
the dead and the living tissues Of the
limb.
The affected animals should have q
change of feed and should then be
given a physic to get rid Of any ergot
in the intestines. Then give tannin
in one-half drachm doses twice daily
for few days to destroy the ergot
not absorbed. To increase the cir
culation in the extremities, chloral by
drate, in one-half ounce doses, twice
daily, is often beneficial. Affected
parts should be bathed with as hot
water as the animal can stand; aftel
this apply disinfectants to the skin
such as zenoleum "a teaspoonful to {
quart Of water). When the foot "a:
started to come off, nothing can bt
done for the animal. and it is best tc
put it out of misery.-C. L. Barnes, D

Notes by a Working Farmer.

To make a success of farming
avoid expenses.
Food given to Improbable animals
is wasted.
With a variety of stock one can
utilize all foods.
Best breeds do not insure most
profit without proper treatment.
All foods for plants must be solu-
BILE to be available.
1t is the little economies that count
up most in the end.
A high selling price does not lessen
the cost of production.
Concentrated foods should always
be fed with those more bulky.
It needs faith in your occupation to
bring about complete success.
1t rarely pays to feed for a merely
possible increase in price.
Underfeeding stunts growth and
overfeeding is a waste Of food and OF
time.
There is more profit in growing an
animal than in fattening one already
grown.
Profitable feeding consists in giving
an animal all that it will eat and di-
| gest properly.
1t is not the hardest labor, but the
best directed labor, that accomplishes
the best results.
The nearer an article is put in con-
dition to suit the purchaser the bet
ter it is for the seller.
Good food and shelter pay we'll in
either case, but always best when CIV
en- to the best stock.
Profit in farming depends upon
three factors-the cost of production,
the time consumed in producing, and
the price received.

beet must not be slim, with a long,
slowly tapering root that grows Deep
ly into the ground, as such roots are
sure to break in harvesting, leaving
the best part below ground.
The beets must grow entirely below
ground, as the part that grows above,
must be cut off and wasted in topping.
But 1t is not possible to select moth
er beets entirely by the characters
tics just given. OF the two beets
shown in the cut, the one on the right
appears to be the better. But alas for
appearance! Upon chemical analysis
the one on the left is far and away
above the other in desirability.
The one on the left carries 24.S per
cent. sugar in the beet. while the
other has only 14.2 per cent. Thus
the first is better by over 10 per cent.
sugar in the beet. This leads up to
the next step in the selection of moth
er-beets for seed-production.
