TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Temperature For Churning.

The temperature at which cream
should be churned varies with its
character. The range for most cream
is between 55 and 90 degrees. Ripe or
sour cream churns much more easily
than sweet cream because the particles
are less sticky. 1t will also churn at
higher temperature, which is more con-
yenient.
In rich cream the particles lie closer
together. and this makes it more easy
to churn than thin cream. When all
the conditions are right the average
cream ought to churn in from thirty to
forty-five minutes.
You can churn best with the churn
only one-third full. This is true es-
pecially with the conclusion churn'
which is the best kind. The concus-
sion churn gives from 10 to Il per cent
more butter than the old dash churn'
which leaves that amount in the but
termilk.
You will find churning more difficult
when the cream is thin or sweet or
cold or from cows advanced in the
milking period, or the churn may be
too full.

GOOD QUALITIES
OF THE COWPEA.
Excellent For SlIage When Used
In Combination With Corn,

Cowpeas are tender, succulent, vine
like plants and must be grown be-
tween the periods Of frost.
An excellent hay is afforded by
cowpeas. If properly handled it is
said to be equal to alfalfa in nutritive
value. 1t is not an easy matter to
cure the hay, the vines being SO large.
cure slowly, and with unfavorable
weather hay is apt to be badly injured.
If not spoiled. before it is cured suffi-
GENTLY to stack.
Professor Ten Eyck of the Kansas
State Agricultural college says the
difficulty of harvesting and curing
cowpea hay. its tendency to become
woody and the lower yield per acre
make this crop for hay production
less valuable than alfalfa when alfalfa
can be successfully grown. Where
difficulty has been experienced in
growing alfalfa cowpeas fill neee ty
producing hay and pasture of high
feeding value. AS a soil fertilizer the
crop is especially valuable when used
in rotation with other crops or plowed
under as green manure.
As a soiling crop cowpeas are very
satisfactory and furnish I'M abun
dance of suceulent green feed. al.
though perhaps less palatable than al
faIfa.
Used alone the cowpea does not
make an exceptionally good quality
of ensilage, due to the large quantity
of water in the green vines. making a
water silage that keeps poorly and is
not well relished by stock.
When in combination with corn. in
the proportion of about one-fourth
cowpeas to three-fourths corn, it makes
an excellent siiage that keeps well and
is relished by all classes Of stock. This
combination has greater feeding value
than corn silage, for the reason thai
cowpeas, being relatively high in pro
tein. make the cowpea corn silage {
more nearly balanced ration.
/ Professor Call says it is a common
practice in dairy sections to grow cow
peas and corn in separate fields ant
mix them as the silo is being filed.
would seem a more desirable practic,
to grow the corn and cowpeas to
| gether.
