What Spoils Winter Butter.

There is more poor butter made dur
ing the winter than during the sum
mer, although the natural conditions
are more favorable. Poor butter il
the winter is due largely to the fact
that the cream is kept too long and not
sufficient attention is given to its keep
ing and ripening.
At this time Of year the dairy COWS
are we'll advanced in their lactation
periods and many of them are dry
AS result only a relatively small
quantity of butter IS made. In order
to avoid small or frequent churnings
the buttermaker often attempts tc
keep the cream too long, and even
while it is being saved does not keeI
it properly mixed. 1t takes on an Ole
taste and imparts the flavor to the
butter. One Of the first precautions tc
insure good butter in the winter Is tc
avoid keeping the cream too long, ever
though a small quantity must be
churned at time. If proper care is
taken Of the cream it may be kept a
week, but for best results no longer
than that.
Another requirement is to keep II
thoroughly mixed, both while it is be-
ing saved and during it's ripening proc

ing, and her progeny, If any, is likely
to be wanting in stamina. and the

to do with the former mishap, for corn

either corn or alfalfa in any form.
Personally I have generally had
good success with Lincoln rams on
Shropshire ewes mated in June. For
the production Of top price meat there
used to be a prejudice against Dorscts,
partly on account Of their horns and
partly because for the early spring
lamb trade their meat was supposed
to tend to coarscness. But that was IN
England, and | don't think the breed
had at that time had as wide or as
fair a trial as they have since obtained
here.
In this country, then Ito sum up my
ideas on the subject, would say that
in order to catch the spring markets III
sections where warm and even not
weather may be expected even III May
it would be advisable to use Dorset
or Lincoln ram on Shropshire ewes.
Where the seasons are later and more
uncertain it would perhaps be best To
have Dorsets on both sides, but IN
that case I should hardly expect 10

RUSTLING CAPITAL OF HIGHLAND co.

Monterey Va, April 90 Not
many towns in Virginia, the size Of
Monterey, can boast of electric
lights, water system and fire
department. certainly none in the
heart of the mountains, as Monterey
Is, can equal this progressive little
town IN these particulars In fact
Monterey is a regular miniature,
city, and affords most of the COM
forts and conveniences usually found
only in municipalities many times
its size.
A visitor is struck at once with
the modern progressiveness of the
place and is both surprised and
charmed to find the streets illumined
by electric lights, lis dwellings and
hotels furnished with piped water
and its entire property under the
protection of fire department, with
"plugs" here and there along its
streets.
These features are due entirely to
the enterprise of Mr.. w. F. Kyle,
the eldest son of Mr.. d. NJ. Kyle,
of Staunton who himself formerly
made his home in the Queen City,
but who now lives in Monterey.
Mr.. Kyle has done more than any
one man in the past decade or two
for this town. He installed the
water and electric light systems in
the face of great deal Of discour-
agement and at the cost of a fgreat
deal of energy and hard labor. He
is quite factor in Monterey and
has been the one person to put the
town in position entirely unique
in Virginia, and perhaps in the en-
tire South.
Monterey has about 300 inhabi-
lants. 1t IS nestled between half
a dozen more picturesque mountain
ranges and is the county seat of
Highland. 1t has two substantial
banks, two churches and two hotels
one Of which, Hotel Monterey,
is quite pretentious hostelry, op-
Grated by Mr.. H. p. Patterson.
There is also a nice public school in
the town and numerous stores, also
drug store. The Highland Re-
corder, owned and edited by Mr..
H. B. Wood, an enterprising young
man from AILemarle, is published
here weekly.
Court met here this week and
the town was crowded with visitors
from the surrounding country.

larger quantities made the cream diff

cream difficult to churn, but had a
hardening effect on the butter, which
was of good flavor, texture and ap'
2earance.

This IS the reason he makes such q
careful study of type and breed. Is

the extent of producing type Of mar,

FITTING Ewes FOR
EARLY BREEDING,

Some difficulty is said to be found in
inducing ewes to breed as early as the
middle Of June, and l have been asked
to state my experience in the matter,
writes J. Pickering Ross in Farm and
Fireside. Individual cases certainly
will occur in almost every flock of
ewes which refuse to breed at any time
Of the year, but l have never known
this unwillingness to extend to any
serious number Of its members and
have always been able to meet it by
substituting other ewes for these re-
fractory ones.
1t is frequently Il matter Of weather
or of unsuitable local conditions. A
cold, wet spring is certain to retard the
tendency of the ewes to mate and can
only be met by providing warm shelter
and increasing the allowance of grain
and hay. Locating them on damp. low
