CULTIVATION IN AN ORCHARD
Broken Between Trees, Taking
Care Not to Hurt Roots.

Where there Is mat of grass and
weeds in an old orchard thei ground
should be broken between the trees,
taking care not to approach too close
ly to the trunks for fear of injuring
the tangle of roots that usually run
near the surface. For the first year
after the orchards renovation the
strips that are plowed should be sown
in cowpeas or some other quick-grow-
ing crop.
The aeration of the soil is the prin-
cipal thing that Is sought through this

all hanging bark, clinging loosely to

PROFITS IN SELLING CREAM
There Are Various Grades, Based on
Percentage Of Fat They Contain
All Bring High Prices.
(Copyriglit, l914.)

CBy c. b. LANE Expert Dairyman)
The word cream" signifies little to
purchasers unless 1t is accompanied by
some term indicating its quality or
richness. We therefore have basis
for grading cream which we term but
ter fat" which is the amount OF pure
oil or fat it contains. This varies from
20 to go per cent, depending upon
amount of skimmilk incorporated with
1t. Fortunately we have an accurate
method of determining butter fat in
cream, known as the "Babcock test"
This consists in weighing definite
amount of cream. placing it in gradu-
ated test bottles made for the purpose
and adding sulphuric acid. After shak-
ing, the bottle Is placed in centrifu-
gal machine, which revolves q thou
sand revolutions per minute. The fat.
which is the lighter portion OF the
cream. is thrown to the top. and then
hot water is added to bring 1t into the
graduated tube, where the percentage
Is read. Most cities have minimum
Standard for butter fat In cream, usual
ly about Is per cent.
We have various grades of cream
based on percentage of fat they con-
tain. Cream testing from Is per cent
to 20 per cent. Is called table cream"
and Is used in households for cereals.
coffee, fruit, retailing for "a cents to
40 cents per quart. The next grade Is
termed whipping cream" and tests
from 80 per cent. to rs per cent. butter
fat, retailing for 40 cents to 45 cents
per quart. If kept cold this cream
readily whips and is popular. 1t is also
used for making butter In creameries.
The next grade is called heavy
cream" This is also popular and tests
from 40 per cent. to 45 per cent. butter
fat, retailing from so cents to 80 cents
per quart. Another quality Is sold un-
der the name Of double cream" or
Double Xxx" and frequently tests
from so per cent. to go per cent. butter
fat, Is SO thick it will not pour from q
bottle and sells for from rs cents to
81 per quart.
Many farmers have separators re-
moving cream from milk on, the farm
and hauling 1t or in some cases ship
ping it to creamery at distance
This plan has the advantage Of keep
ing skimmilk to feed stock. This
cream tests from 25 per cent. to 35 per
cent. Cream properly pasteurized il
kept in cold storage for three weeks
at a temperature Of 80 degrees f.
(freezing temperature for cream Is 30
degrees F.) sweet and without de-
terioration in flavor. 1t is almost inn
possible for farmer to produce cream
for shipment to the city to be sold as
sweet cream. as 1t will not keep with
out being pasteurized.

The Ghost OF Romance.
Van Vechten's admission was ac-

exceedingly surprised If the young

Compton Schuyler was a prominent
figure, man of affairs, in the New

in the family's good graces counted
himself fortunate indeed.
1T was only an inevitable conse-

and enjoyed the supremacy which for
several years discouraged all idea of
matrimony.
Then conditions began to change.

Feed all the roughage, such as al

Feed approximately one pound OF

Give the cows as much feed as
they will consume without gaining

ton more palatable.
