The object of working butter is to
uniformly distribute the salt and give
the butter a plastic consistency. The
old primitive method Of working but

sore places. 1t is very undesirable IN
all cases to get the hands directly In
contact with the butter. 1t is not only
highly unsanitary. but 1t spoils both

any reason the first wash water looks
milky. a second washing may be
necessary.
One very important factor to be
considered In washing butter Is the
temperature of the water. If the
churning temperature has been right
and the butter has come in good con-
dition, the temperature OF the wash
water should be the same as that OF
the buttermilk. II the butter comes
soft. 1t may be necessary to use a
lower temperature, and if too hard a
higher temperature. Extremes should
be avoided in all cases, as too warm
water will cause a soft, greasy butter,
while too cold water will make the
butter appear brittle and tallowy and
cause difficulty in getting the salt well
dissolved.
The salt should be added before
working Is begun. then it is possible
to get the salt distributed evenly with
a minimum amount Of working.
AS a rule, one ounce OF salt to eacf
pound Of butter is sufficient. The use
of cheap, coarse salt should b'
avoided. as it often contains chemica

RADIsHEs GOOD MONEY CROP
They Are Easy to Grow. Develop
Quickly and There is Little Ex-
pense In Producing. Them.

For the gardener who lives near a
good market early radishes often
prove a money-making crop. From
the open garden, radishes are the first
crop in the spring that can BE- turned
into money. They are easy TO grow,
develop quickly and there is little
expense in producing them.
The first showing should be made
very early-the first day the ground
dries of a little on top. Make another
sowing a week Or ten days later, and a
third a week after that. If one sowing
fails another will come on all right.
Even though all three sowings pro-
duces crops, these successive sowings
are necessary in order to provide crisp,
tender radishes for several weeks.
writes W. F. Purdue in Farm and
Home. Most varieties grow very
quickly and soon become woody and
unsuitable for use.
The seed can be sown broadcast or
drilled in rows a foot apart. Either
way is all right because a crop will
make itself before any wedding is
necessary. Use seed at the rate OF
| about six pounds per acre and more
| nice specimens will be produced than
| IL sown thicker.
AS soon as the first radishes are
ready to pull, select the largest ant
incest, wash them we'll and tie II
punches OF six or twelve. Early in the
season the stores pay US five cents pei
bunch of II. a little later ten cents fol
three punches, and finally two cents
per bunch. when it no longer pays u
bother with them. The remainder o
the crop may be plowed under an'
the ground put to something else.
The little turnip-rooted sorts ar
preferred in most markets and pa,
we'll. The only expense in producin
radisLes is the seed, which costs fror
10 to 10 cents per ounce, and the wor

MEAT RATION FOR THE HENS
Experiment Conducted at West Vir.

The effect of meat rations for hens

pertinent station where one pen OF
fowls received a ration largely OF corn
and other starchy grains, while an.
other pen was fed partly on meat and
fresh bone. The meat-fed fowls laid
1856 eggs, while the granted fowls
laid 3,431, or less than one-half as
mahy as those receiving the nitro
genous ration. The eggs from the
meat-fed fowls were larger, much
firmer, rather better and produced
far more vigorous chickens than those
of the others. Both lots Of fowls re
