The Quality Of Butter.

The quality of the butter depends 10
a great degree upon the food and drink
of the COW She should have clean.
pure water and wholesome food. Much
care should be taken in the selection
Of the ration. The Individual COW has
much to do in this regard. Bur with
respect to the part that Is played in
handling the product of the COW too
much carelesness is evident in the
processes of buttermaking After
churning Is finished the butter and
milk mixture should remain quiet Tor
about ten minutes in order to let the
butter come to the surface. A cup Of
cold water will hasten the process. An
old recipe says: The butter should be
carefully skinned off into a wooden
bowl half full of water The water
should be repeatedly changed until it
shows no indication of milkiness. II
is important that the butter should not
be pressed or worked during the proc
ess Of removing the milk from the
butter. After this the butter may be
pressed into mass and salt TO the ex-
tent of one-fortieth It's weight worked
into It. The water should be well
pressed out. but the less worked the
more perfectly It's granular character
IS maintained.

Texture of the Fleece.

Wool substance is what the wool
grower is looking for, provided it is
not made up Of too coarse fbers, which
is not usually the case Density and
fine fibers are usually associated.
A dense fleece may usually be recog-
nized in several ways. \ fine, close
fleece generally is more oily than a
coarse fibered one An oily fleece is a
dust catcher and usually presents Il
dark, gummy outer appearance. Sec
ondly, a close fleece separates into
small areas when the mass OF the
fleece is stroked with the hand. while
coarse leece presents larger areas
when handled in the same manner.
Appearance frequently is alone suhi-
cient to distinguish the duffy, open
fleece from the close dense fleece
The most satisfactory way of de-
termlning density is by grasplns a
handful of wool as it grows on the
sheep. If there is substance to the
wool handful is secured; if substance
is lacking the hand will not be full.
This test for density can be applied
rapidly in a flock and is very satisfac-
tory.
A dense fleece is valuable not alone
for the increase in quantity of wool,
but for the protection that it affords
the animal from the elements and the
dust and chaff that fly about in the
yards where they are fed.

GOOD TYPE OF HOG.

growth on soaked corn and lighter
ones made more ON dry corn. But
soaking twelve hours seemed to do
better than a longer time. They prob
ably got too much water in proportion
to corn.
Taken altogethe& it may be said that
dry corn fed on the ear is rhe best
way TO feed hogs on corn alone. For
rapid growth in young hogs have
found that tankage was of great as
sistance.
The importance of all points in the
production of pork is so great that it
is well worth careful studying. OF
one thing all pork raisers who have
been studying the subject are surely
convinced. and that is that where ps-
ture is possible it greatly cheapens the
production.

now MANY PEOPLE.
Do You Think Will be Count
ed in the City of Hop
kinsville?

The census in the city Of Hopkins
vile was completed by May l, with
in the prescribed time. The total
population figures are being closely
guarded and will not be given out
except by the Census Department at
Washington, The census Of 1907
taken for Meacham's City Directory
Of that year, the last one issued,
showed a population of $500 hastily
and perhaps imperfectly taken.
Since that time there has been an
increase of about 25 per cent in the
voting population, the number OF
tithes in 1909 being 1855. Figuring
four to the voter this would indicate
a population on last years tithes OF
1874. There will be still further
Increase this year and the same
method of calculation would give
probably 1900. Government cen
sus figures are always disappointing
and often very imperfect. Making
allowances for omissions and mis-
takes, it will probably be found that
the population of Hopkinsville will
be anywhere from 5000 to 1900.
To these figures must be added at
least 5000 suburban population |
within mile of the city limits.

CORN AS FEED FOR HOGS.
Mixed With Meat Meal Il Supplies kn
Protein Necessary For Growth.

Protein Necessary For Growth.
The question as to the most econom
heal way of feeding corn to hogs is one
that seems to continue to interest n
great many people. A prominent swine
raiser says With the experience |
have had in feeding corn TO hogs it has
always seemed to me that II you
merely throw a-plenty, Of good, sound
corn to the fattening hogs, IL they are
of a good breed and healthy, the corn
will certainly be put where it will do
the most good.
During recent experiment compari-
sons were made in feeding dry corn,
soaked corn. dry cornmeal. soaked
cornmeal, dry corn and cobmeal and
soaked corn and cobmeal. OF dry corn
it took 400 pounds to make 100 pounds
Of gain, and the gain was 1913 pounds
per bushel of corn. OF soaked corn IL
took 513 pounds of corn to make 100
pounds gain, and the gain per bushel
was 100 pounds. OF dry cornmeal it
took 800 pounds to make 100 pounds
of gain. and the amount of gain per
bushe was 94 pounds.
The normal conclusion from these
figures is that in fattening hogs feed
ing dry corn on the ear pays best, so
long as only corn is fed. If some meat
meal were fed with the grain, espe-
cially in the case Of young hogs. there
might be a more rapid gain, as the
large percentage of animal food in the
shape of meat meal or tankage sup
plies all the protein needed to make
growth.
1t seems that the age Of hogs made
some slight difference in relative re-
suits, though there was no apparent
reason for it. For instance large hogs,
say over 200 pounds. made more rapid

If all the corn raised in Illinois in

supplied the European demand for
seven years. Had the European ex-
port for one year only been taken from
the Illinois output there would have
remained corn enough to allow sixty
bushels for every man. woman and

half bushels for every man. woman
and child Of the s5.000.000 people in
the United States today.
Yet Illinois is not alone. There are
twenty-four other states each Of which
produces more than 100000 bushels
Of corn each year and eight others
whose individual output each year Is
in excess of 100,00O,000 bushels. No
wonder that corn has been crowned
king, particularly in view of the fact,
as Secretary Wilson has figured Il,
that the 1909 crop of the value of
