HOME MADE BUTTER
P. X. EDWARDS

With the modern appliances now or
the market, a complete outfit for max.
ing butter at home may be bought fol
very little money, and a good COW should
provide family of four with all their
table butter during the greater part OF
the year. The requisites for butter
making are cool room twell protected
from fies), where the milk may be set
for cream, supply of large seamless
pans, small swing churn or a little
barrel ehurn, lever butter worker.
paddles, and parchment paper in which
to wrap the butter.
The milk should be thoroughly strained
and carried to the milk room to be kept
at temperature of from 80 to 81 de-
grees. Thirty-six hours is long enough
for the milk to set in shallow pans be-
fore Swimming, and the cream should be
perfectly sweet The cream should be
kept from "a to 80 hours at a tempera-
ture of about 90 degrees, but no longer
than it is slightly acid; this acid condi-
ton of the cream is most Important
whatever the time or temperature. Keep
the cream in large crock and stir well
every time cream is added, to ripen it
evenly.
The Proper Temperature.
The fewer changes in temperature but
ter is subjected to from the time the
milk leaves the COW, the better favored
will it be. When the cream is ripe for
churning it win have peculiarly
smooth, velvety appearance, which one
very soon learns to recognize. The
proper churning temperature will be be-
tween SIS and 65 degrees, nearer So in
summer and IS in winter. The time of
varies from 20 minutes to lk
hours, and the churn should be turned
at such a rate of speed as to obtain
the maximum amount of conclusion of
the particles of cream upon one another,
the cream dashing from end to end of
the churn at each rotation.
When the butter appears in the churn
in small grains, stop churning; this is
easily learned by the sound made in the
,hurn, On modern makes there is a glass
through which one can see inside, and
when the butter comes the glass will be
very nearly clear, and small pieces of

WHAT A NEW ENGLAND MAN
ACCOMPLISHED
BY J. LELAND


About 20 miles south of K, New
Hampshire, is a farm worthy of notice
IL is composed of about 500 acres OF
hills, woods, and fields strewn with boul.
ders. Thirty-six years ago Mr.. Hay.
ward inherited this estate, and decided
to make it an orchard, composed OF
Baldwin apple trees, the fruit being de-
signed for the Liverpool market. To-
day there are 10000 trees, planted wher-
ever there is an open space. Mr.. Hay
ward also owns hens, but he keeps them
merely for the sake of the orchard fer
tilizer which they afford, and there is
not cock on the place, nor is chicken
raised there. The hens are bought and
shipped to him every October, when
they are just beginning to lay, and are
housed in 600 houses, each holding Ia
hens, making total Of $500 They are
of various breeds, and are not allowed
to run. Every house is V-shaped, with
the south end screened and left open all
winter, while twice a year the houses
are cleaned and the manure placed
around the trees on the surface of the
ground. The poultry are fed twice a
day-in the morning and afternoon. In
the morning they have H-O poultry
food, mixed with one fourth to one
third beef scraps. a little charcoal and
salt being added. This mixture is fed
dry. and in summer afternoons they are
given wheat and wheat screenings. In
the winter corn is substituted. Seven

BRINGING THE PASTURE TO THE
cow
EDWARD MACDONALD

: With the shrinkage of the pastures
the latter part of June, comes also q
serious shrinkage in the milk, some.
thing to be avoided, for when COW has
gone down in her milk" il is difficult
often impossible, to get her back agan.
Now, on our farm, for instance, where
we keep only one COW and have but an
acre and half in the village to spare
for pasture, we have taken up soiling for
the past three years, and with great
success, too.
The psn has been as follows: A half
acre with an open shed in it is used for
paddock, and the acre for soiling crops;
the first spring green crop is half acre
of rye sown at the rate of three bushels
per acre in September. At the same
time we plant the other half acre to
clover, which follows the rye; then, when
the first three rye swaths across the field
have been cut the strip is disked, har
rowed, and planted to oats and peas, in
the proportion of two bushels of oats to
one of Canadian field peas, and as each
succeeding stripe of rye is cut, oats and
peas are planted.
Successive Planting.
Clover follows the rye, and when that
is being cut the ground is given cover
ing OF manure Tor of commercial fer
tilizer at the rate Of 600 pounds per
acre., then disked and planted TO some
early maturing sweet corn drilled in a
foot apart in the row with two and
half feet between the rows. BY the
time the clover has been cut, oats and
peas are ready for use, and as the strips
are moved, Stowelrs Evergreen sweet
corn is planted though sometimes few
rows of Hungarian millet are planted
to help out, as it grows with wonderful
rapidity. Thus there is green food
throughout the season and often some
left to cure for winter.
As TO the care of the COW: While |
the stable is being cleaned in the morn
ing, hay with little grain is fed before
milking, then at 10 o'clock green feed is |
given, at | o'clock more green stuff. and |
at the evening green food and grain is |
fed. while the last thing before closing |
up green food is once more given. The |
object OF feeding in this way is to imi.
ate as far as possible the way in which
he COW would procure her own food if
he were out. When the flies begin the
windows are screened and the stable
while the COW is turned into
he paddock at night. The work is usu.
lily very simple matter, and the extra
milk secured and manure saved of course
more than repay for the extra labor.

THE FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL IN.
SECTS AND ToADS-I.
JOHN ASHLEY

"Big heas have little aeas upon their
backs TO bite them, and these fieas have
other feas, and so on ad infinitum," is
an old saying, which holds particularly
true among garden and orchard insect
poets, so that outdoor workers should
learn to distinguish between the great
Importance of insect friends and foes.
In fact, the knowledge OF insect enemies
has by this time become pretty widely
spread, almost every orchardist knowing
the coddling moth, plant lice, tent cater
pillar, appletree borer, etc. while the
garden lover is familiar with the cut
worm, wire worm, melon and squash
beetles On the other hand, how many
know the Ichneumon fly? They are very
useful little creatures, and may be seen
any pleasant day in the garden. The
eggs of the female of the largest variety
are laid in the channel where the worm"
or larya of a borer is feeding upon a
tree. As soon as the egg matches, the
Ichneumon larva finds and enters the
body of the larva Of the borer, feeding
until its development is complete, when
the borer dies.
A Useful Fly.
Another Ichneumon, smaller than the
other one, also attacks the Larvae of
certain injurious moths, laying eggs just
beneath the skin after the Ichneumon
larva matches, it feeds upon the fatty
tissues of big green worms, even after
the cocoon is woven. Often one finds a
'hrysalis apparently dead, but during

and helpful insects are the

Something New - Sudan
 Grass

Our clever old friend, A. G. DeShazo, was in the city a few days ago with a sample of Sudan grass grown by him a his Cypress Ridge farm home.
 The grass was on exhibition in front of the Gazzola Grocery Go. |, where it attracted a great deal of attention.
 Mir. DeShazo reports that he has '4 acre of Sudan grass and that his son, l. E. DeShazo, has about @a acre. They got the seed from J. w. DeShazo, of Texas.

When We Mediate.

In meditation we are free. We can consider one side and then the other without embarrassment If we change our opinion because the weight of evi- dence has shifted, there is no one to exult over us and make us ashamed. If we recognize that we have been mistaken in our assumptions. there Is no one to say: T told you so." We quietly make the necessary adjust ments to ever-changing reality. and go on with our business of thinking. We are not required to reach any prede- termined conclusions. We have no nervous anxiety to catch any particu- lar train of thought, as we are travel ing on our own feet, and are willing to put up wherever the night finds us. Hence it is that while discussions go on with great vigOr. and few are con vinced except of the righteousness of their own cause. meditation often brings unexpected results. When we mediate we sometimes change our minds. This is a beneficent achieve ment, for it renders 1t unnecessary for us to spend all our strength in at tempting to change the order of the universe and the whole direction of human progress. in order to get a sense of the fitness of things.-S M. Brothers, in Atlantic.

GRATIFYING RESULTS FROM ANTI
 HOG-CHOLERA SERUM

An interesting report received by the department from county agents in 15 Southern States affords additional evidence of the value of antihog-cholera serum in preventing the spread of this disease. Although many authorities do not advocate the treatment after the hog has be- come visibly affected. this re- port appears to indicate that a considerable saving was effected in this way.
 It will noted that of 34. 636 animals in good health but ex- posed to contagion from the disease. 787 died after receiving the treatment. This is a loss of only 2.N per cent. which s regarded as highly gratifying. Of the total number inoculated t41,979 hogs) 3.004 died. or a percentage of 7.l5. 1t must be remembered. however, that the serum is to be regarded in the light of a preventive rather than a cure, and it is probably that many agents inoculated animals in which the disease was so far advanced that there was little hope of their being saved.
 In addition to the treatment by inoculation, sanitary n d other precautions are indis- pensable. The hogs should be fed on cooling, laxative food for

Sudan grass as valuable addi- tion to the forage crops of many sections. Sudan grass is an annual, related to Johnson grass, but distinguished from it by the absence of rootstocks and by broader and more numerous leaves. When seeded broadcast or in drills it averages about 3 to 5 feet in height, but when grown in rows and cultivated this can be increased to 6 to 9 feet. The hay of the cultivated crop, how ever, is somewhat coarser and not so desirable for market pur- poses.
 As a soiling crop it has the ad- yantages of making a large yield and being well relished by animals when in the green state
 The yields to be expected from Sudan grass naturally vary quite a little in accordance with the section where it is grown. Under ordinary circumstances the total yield range from 1 to 8 tons cured hay per acre, de- pending largely on the number of cuttings that are possible. In the South. under conditions of severe drought, Sudan grass has been found to do better than the millets and sorghums.
 In addition to it's value as a soiling crop and as hay, Sudan grass can be grown with cow peas or soy beans and made into excellent silage.
 Since this crop is not yet very
 
 generally grown. prices for seed are high, in some cases $3 per pound being quoted last year. During the past year the de- partment has distributed small quantities of seed to over ,, ,5OO people. including farmers in all arts of the United States. Probably 50 per cent of the total amount of seed will be produced in Texas this year. where it IS being grown under the strict rules of the Texas Experiment Association, an organization of farmers under the guidance of h e state experiment station. These many small growers in Texas and other states should be able to supply seed to all who desire it. The Department of Agriculture will gladly furnish the names of growers and seeds men to anyone who desires to purchase seed. From 16 to "A pounds are required per acre of broadcast sowing and from 2 to 6 pounds for seeding in rows.
 Prospective growers are cautioned that Sudan grass seed resembles Johnson grass seed so closely that they will find it advisable to select seed grown north of the Johnson grass area.
 From April l to April 15 is the best time for seeding in the ex- treme South; in the latitude of northern Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. from April 15 to May 15. A rather firm seed bed is de- sirable. When the seed is drill ed or sown broadcast, the ground should be plowed in the spring and narrowed as for corn.
 Seed growers will find the harvesting of Sudan grass easy. The seed is produced freely and high above the ground and the loss from shattering is slight. Under ordinary conditions from 450 to l.400 pounds can b e obtained per acre, and under irrigation this yield is largely in- creased. Fuller information in regard to the crop is contained in Farmers Bulletin No. 6O5, which will be sent free on appli- cation to the Division of Publi- cations while the departments SllDDlv lasts
