These have been kept firm by
thorough bath of cold water
The butter was properly worked In
the churn by swinging it for few
minutes, then allowing it to stand for
little while. A quart of cold water
was then poured over it and the churn
slowly turned for perhaps two minutes.
The roller of the butter worker was
passed over it several times until the
correct texture had been secured. The
roller probably made about six turn
ings. the butter being manipulated with
the ladle to secure uniformity.

Keen the Good Brood Sow.

1t is strange that farmer will keep
the good brood mare from year to year
and ut the same time put his good
brood SOW into the fattening pen and
send her off to market as soon as she
is fat enough to go. Thus the good
brood SOW is often sacrificed, while the
gilt untried rs Il brood SOW, takes her
place. This is Il mistake. When "a
SOW proves to be Il good sucker and
careful mother she should be retained,
especially if she is prolific. With such
a SOW the farmer is reasonably assur-
ed of Il strong. healthy litter Of pigs
that will grow into profitable hogs. A
gilt may prove poor sucker, overlap
her brood, while four or five is often
the number of her brood. So with the
young gilt for brood SOW the pig
proposition on the farm Is a very un-
certain one If SOW proves to be a
good breeder from the start she should
be retained. for it is reasonable to ex.
pect that she will get better each year.
And it is fact that older sows bring
healthier. stronger pigs and a greater
number of them with less danger of
trouble of any kind at narrowing time.

The Farm and Garden
LAND DRAINAGE IS
NOW A NECESSITY

Reply to J. G. Tally, Stevenson, Ala.
Drainage comes first, if the land
needs it, and tile drainage is the mod
ern and sensible way of draining. If
the soil is low in humus, stable manure
or vegetable matter must be added;
if 1t is lacking in one or more of the
elements of plant food, these must be
supplied in commercial fertilizer,
stable manure and legumes if II is
sour, an application of lime is nee
essary: if the soil is compact and there
is hard pan, deep blowing must be
done But if it needs drainage. stable
manure, commercial fertilizer, vege-
table matter. lime, and deep blowing
will be of little avail.
There arc many thousands of acres
of land that are dry enough to induce
farmers to try to farm them and are
wet enough to soak all the profit out
of cultivating them. Drainage on
such soils is very urgent.
Drainage may be very simple or a
very complex problem. 1t may require
exact engineering so that every avail
able inch of fall may be utilized or the
location of the tile may be so apparent
that the average practical farmer can
easily locate it with the eye. Between
these two extremes there are cases
requiring varying degrees of skill.
If it is a complicated proposition the
Dervices OF reputable engineer should
be secured: if there are merely wet
spots in your field, or if your field is
wet with plenty of fall you should
be able to locate and lay your lie with
no difficulty by following the methods
outlined in the Uniontown, Alabama,
Canebrake Experiment Station bull
letins, Numbers 3, ;. 6. and 10. Be
sure that no mistake is made in thing
your land. Tiling land is expensive
and should be done right.

VEGETABLE OILS

L. o. Miller. Bernardston, Mass,
writes as follows: could you kindly
give me some information about vege-
table oils that are used as substitutes
for linseed oil? Where, in your opin-
ion, could soy beans and sunflowers be
most profitably grown?"
There are various oils to adulterate
linseed oil, but we are not aware of any
oil that will take its place. or even
add anything to its value. 1t seems
that linseed oil is the only one that
has ever been found that possesses the
proper drying qualities to secure the
results desired. Whatever is added to
1t seems merely to be detriment.
Soy beans and sunflowers may be
profitably grown under some condi-
lions. There are great many regions
where they will grow satisfactorily,
and we believe that the middle west
or west would perhaps give the best
returns. all things considered. In
Colorado the Russian sunflower makes
a wonderful growth. 1t is grown quite
extensively for feeding chickens.
The soy bean is crop that will
stand great deal of dry weather,
hence is profitably grown on rather
dry soils, although it responds to
moisture as well perhaps as any other
crop. II is grown extensively through
out the south: also some of the hardy
varieties are found in the central Sec
ton.
If you are thinking of coming west
with a view to taking up such work
as growing these crops, you can get
information by addressing any of the
state colleges i'm the west.

information as to vegetable oils by

How to Make Clothes For Stout Ed
erIy Women.

There is decidedly difficult task
before many generously developed wO
men how to look well and yet not run
counter to current modes. Every wo
man would seem to be trying to look
young and thin, but this cannot always
be done, and in trying to appear thin
women too often add to their appar
ent age.
A few plain facts must be remem
bered. Stout women must first of all
avoid stripes and vivid colors. The
new reds now coming in, the vivid
green's and the brilliant combinations
of color must be avoided She must
avoid patent leather shoes and boots
with white, gray or other light toned
uppers. Hats require great considera

out of the question.
The clothes of the stout and elderly
woman need a great deal Of thought
One color should be the distinguishing
fact of her whole toilet. One piece
gowns with a cape are better suited to
stout women than long coat, but
they may console themselves with the
fact that what they ought to wear is
what constitutes the elements of good
dressing. If she makes a mistake in
costume it certainly looks worse on
stout woman than on Il thin one. on
whom probably it would pass unno'
ticcd. Brilliant jet trimmings must be
worn with caution. Swaying fringes
and taSsels are of all things to be
avoided The stout woman is wise II
she chooses simple clothes and care
full combinations of colOrs and strictly
avoids any garishness.
