QUALITY OF BUTTER
Little Improvement Made in
Creamery Article.
Never Before Have Makers Been Able
to Make Use OF az Good Machin-
cry and Apparatus-Lack OF
knowledge Responsible.
(By &c. WELD.)


During the past few years but little
Improvement has been made in the
quality Of creamery butter. This. too.
in spite of the fact that creamery
butter relkers. as class. have never
before been SO we'll informed regard
ing their work Never before have
they been able to make use Of as
good machinery and special apparatus,
and never before has fine quality OF
butter been more eagerly sought after
by the consuming public.
In many instances the quality of
creamery butter has become poorer
in spite of the aforementioned i'm
proved conditions. The reason is
seemingly found in the gradual
change which has taken place in the
methods employed by dairy farmers

NOTES

Portable hog houses are gaining in
favor
Chickens and an orchard are in
good company.
Flowing up runs and yards is a sea-
sonable job now.
Sifted ashes make good busting ma
terial for the hens.
The less exercise market birds get
the quicker they will fatten.
The way to get the jump on mites
and lice is to start after them right
now.
Horses that are used exclusively ON
the farm and do no road work should
go unsbod.
Pigs got the thumps? Shut of the
corn and get them on the grass as
soon as possible.
Hen manure may be sown between
the rows of lettuce and allowed to
wash into the soil.
In many cases it is just as import
ant to improve the dairymen as it
is to improve the COWS.
Those who do not have a supply OF
alfalfa on hand will find red clover
to be satisfactory substitute.
II the COW is in good, thrifty con-
dition she will use her feed to better
advantage than if she Is run down
8 Did you go after the borers in the
peach roots last fall? Well. you
certainly should get busy with the
knife and wire now.
The expense of caring for mule is
less than for a horse. He eats less.
requires no blanketing. no stall and is
more easily kept clean.
We must remember thar the bugs.
mildew and blight work while we
sleep, but If we keep after them while
we are awake they cannot last long.
Handle the dairy bull with a bull
snap on the end of a fork handle. He
may be gentle enough. but the gent

It is bad plan to mix milk that
has an unnatural color, that is bloody
or even that from lumpy teat. with
the rest. 1t is better to milk it out

SUMMER FEEDING FOR STOCK
Oats Make More Nutritious Hay TO,
Horses and Mules Than Rye
Should Be Cut When In Hood.

For summer feed for horses and
mules oats make more palatable and
nutritious hay than rye. Rye cut
when Just heading out and cured In
the cock makes an excellent lay for
all stock. Dairymen raise rye mostly
for early green feed. and when it be-
eomes tough it Is cut and cured. Three
bushels Of oats. drilled IN with 400
pounds of some good brand of phos-
plate, will, If the land Is in good con-
dition and weather favorable, make
three tons OF cured hay to the acre; IL
May and early June Ia showing, four
tons may be grown to the acre. The
oats should be cut when In hood, cut
with mower, and as soon as well wilt
ed, 1t should be tedded two or three
times to get the moisture out of the
stalks quickly, rake up in windrows be-
fore dew falls; the next morning
shake out. and after one hours sun.
haul IN and spread out not more than
one foot in thickness over the barn
floor. 1t should be examined to see II
it commences to heat; If 1t does, IL
should be shaken out second time.
The hay, when cured looks, very much
like straw, but If cut while the oats
are in the milk and cured before be-
ing caught by showers, it makes as nu-
tritious hay as timothy as feed for
horses and other farm stock. After the
oats are off, the field should be plow-
ed and drilled to fodder corn or sowD
to millet

PRACTICAL FEEDS FOR SOUTH
cottonseed Meal Is Favorite Ration for
Cows, But Farmers Feed Too
Much Of It.

There is no doubt that wheat bran
Is one of the best feeds that can be
used to produce a large flow of milk.
yet, at present prices. around $50 per
ton. it is about the most expensive
feed the dairyman can use.
One pound OF cottonseed meal has
feeding value equal 10 ono and a
half pounds of wheat bran. but of
course 1t will not do TO replace the
meal with bran
Cowpea hay has value almost
equal to that of bran, the exact ratio
being 1900 pounds of bran to 1000
pounds of hay
Many feeders believe that alfalfa is
fully equal to bran pound for pound
and If the bran has to be bought in
the open market the value of alfalfa
is certainly greater, because the grow
ing Of alfalfa or any other good crop
always improves the land while feed
brought in from the outside only adds
its manurial value to the soil.
Farmers in the South can hardly
afford to buy bran. being so far from
the big markets the price is generally
high-from $25 to $50 per ton. I'd any
country where feed is high every eff
ford should be made to grow every
pound of feed possible upon the land
itself Southern farmers are begin.
ming to appreciate the value of this
practice and more stock feed is being
grown in that country than ever be-
FORE
While it is gratifying fact also.
that more live stock is being raised,
there is no doubt that the amount of
stock food per head that Is grown on
southern farms is steadily increasing.
Cottonseed meal is a favorite feed
for the cows in the South and good
many farmers feed too much of it. IL
they would grow more cowpeas, heavy
vetch, clover and alfalfa and buy less
prepared feeds, their profits would be
larger and their soil greatly improved.

dozen Savages in all their war paint
| rose and literally threw myself at
the nearest saddle, against which a
second Winchester rested. With that
in my hand / could make a bolt and
protect myself in a running fight. But
that was not to be. A second spear,
aimed with half dozen others, went
through my left wrist, and, as I in
voluntarily dropped the rife and
grabbed at the spearshaft, a waddy
descended on my head and my senses
left me.
What actually transpired from the
moment | lost touch with mortal ex-
istence until found myself again in

willing answers Of Romanes to my
question, and fill in the blanks from
my imagination.
When he left me to follow the par
rots, Romanes did not anticipate go
ing more than quarter Of mile, at
most, into the scrub and expected to
be back in camp within fifteen min
utes at the outside, but before he
could get a shot at the birds they
had led him on for a mile. 1t was
while he was on his way back to
the camp that he heard shout, which
resembled very closely the yell Of

have captured their game, be it hui

themselves acquainted with every
thing in the camel packs.
Having "tumbled to what had hap
pened, Romanes' first thought was to
natives knew what had happened
double charge of parrot shot struck
them. With a yell they arose, the
leader (whom it subsequently tran
spired was Major) grabbing the Win
chester and firing wildly in the direc-
ton whence the shot had come Ro-
names had taken shelter behind
bush which, while it obscured him
from view, gave him no protection
against bullets. He fired one shot
from his rife, and, dashing from his
cover, made for a tree a hundred
yards away, the natives following in
a body. Once behind stout trunk he
brought his rifle into play and emp
| tied the magazine with such effect
that three of the natives fell and the
others, meeting such a stout foe, bolt
ed into the bush after vainly hurting
all their spears and spending what
cartridges were in the captured Win
chester
| Not knowing how many natives
there were, or whether there were
more than he had seen in the neigh
borhood, Romanes wasted no time in
climbing into the tree, there to wait
until it was quite safe for him to
make a further move, as the supersti-
tious nature Of the blacks would pre-
vent them from making any further
attack.
When he had spent couple of
hours in his high perch Romanes qui-
city slipped down and approached the
camp. for the main purpose of endeav-
oring to get further supply of ammu-
milton, and to secure one of the cam
| els in order that he might get away
I from the dangerous locality as soon
as he had collected anything of value
which the natives had left. He ex-
pected to find me dead as doornail
and battered beyond recognition, but
he got the shock Of his life when he
bent over me and found me breathing.

ent, but dark and dirty corner of the
barn. Cream separated under the
aforementioned conditions is brought
into contact with many undesirable
bacteria, and bad f1avors are the nat
ural result. It frequently happens
that cream is not cooled to a low tenn
perature and properly cared for after
1t is separated on the farm. and often
1t Is of uncertain age when delivered
at the creamery.
In some localities competition exists
between creameries or between city
milk contractors and a creamery, and
In order to prevent patrons of cream
cry leaving 1t for another, or for a
city market, creameries sometimes
make a practice Of allowing or com
polling their managers to accept old
cream and milk of an inferior quality.
1t Is evident, therefore, that no mate
rial improvement can be made in the
quality of creamery butter until some
Improvement is caused to be made in
the care of milk and cream on the
farm and the condition of milk and
cream when delivered to the cream
cry.
1t is evidently not wholly the lack
of knowledge on the part of the dairy
farmer that is responsible for the con-
dition of his product. 1t is more often
due to habitual carelessness and q
failure to fully realize his responsible
