why WON'T THE BUTTER
COME ASKS HOUSEWIFE
(By G. A. Hutton, Division OF Exten
sion JTnivaraity of Tannasseel

(By G. A. Hutton, Division OF Exten
sion, University of Tennessee.)
This is question often heard In
the farm home at this season Of the
year. There are several conditions
which cause difficult churning, but dur
ing the winter season. when most diff
flculty is found, 1t Is likely caused
from one or more of the following con.
ditions:
Milk or cream from cows well ad'
yanced in the period of laclation, or
those nearly dry, Is harder to churn
than cream from some COWS when
fresh. The farm cow is often nearly
dry during the winter months, and on
most farms, she is fed on dry feed.
The butter fat Is harder, and hence
the cream is harder to churn than
when the cow Ia fresh and running on
good pasture.
Probably the most frequent cause OF
difficult churning is that of churning
cold cream. This often happens In
the winter time. There is no certain
temperature at which to churn; but.
this will have to be determined In this
way: Churn at whatever temperature
the cream will churn in twenty to
thirty minutes. This may vary under
different conditions as much as ten
degrees, but under average conditions
higher temperature will be needed in
winter than in summer.
Sour cream will churn more readily
than will sweet cream, other things be.
ing equal. In cold weather the cream
is not apt to be thoroughly soured.
II 1t does not sour by the time that
q sufficient quantity is accumulated
for churning, the temperature should
be raised to about 10 degrees and held
there for few hours. 1t may be
necessary In some cases to add lit.
tie sour butter milk from q previous
churning to start the cream souring.
II barrel churn is used, 1t should
not be filled more than one-third to
one-half full, In order that the cream
will have room to become thoroughly
agitated In the process Of churning.

FLOWERS FOR

Sweet Peas, Shirley Peoples

rieties for Early Bloom
PREPARATION OF THE SOIL
Best Place to Plant Sweet Peas is In
Vegetable Garden--Informatlon Of
Interest to Lovers Of Flowers.
(By C. A. Ksffer. Division of Exten.
sion, University Of Tennessee.)

(By c. A. Ksffer, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
II sweet peas are not yet planted
they should be sown as soon as posi-
BILE. Buy the orchid-fowering, or Spen-
Ger varieties. The named sorts give
the best results, but mixed seed pro.
duce satisfactory flowers. Prepare the
soil by spading two spades deep, mix.
ing good manure all the way down.
Dig trench two spades wide, throw
Ing the soil on each side; then spade
q good layer Of manure, full spade
deep in, the bottom of the trench. Fill
In one-half the surface soil, mixing
fine manure with 1t. This will leave
the surface Of the trench from four
to six inches below the level of the
garden. Chip the coat of each sweet
pea seed, and sow rather thick. as for
garden peas, In line down the center
Of the trench, covering not more than
oneinch. Some gardeners cover the
seed with two inches Of well rotted
manure. AS the peas grow the trench
Is gradually filled; a trellis Is made for
the plants to climb on, of brush or
chicken fencing. BY the time the
plants are ten to twelve inches high
the trench should be filed to the level
Of the garden.
1t Is best to plant sweet peas in the
vegetable garden, where they can
have thorough cultivation. The
flowers should be picked every day II
large blossoms and q long season of
bloom are desired.
Shirley Peoples and candytuft.
The best strains of seed are the
Sunset and Burbank Shirley Poppy
and the Empress Candytuft. All gar
dens that are to produce early flowers
should be dug deep in the fall with
plenty of fine manure forked In, and
left rough until planting time. when
the soil should be made very fine and
smooth. Poppy and Candytuft are
among the hardest flowers, and the
seed should be sown broadcast on the
surface. without covering, any time
from January to the middle of March.
I have had the best results from jan
nary sowing. The peoples being Of
many shades, from deep red to white,
are best sown In beds by themselves.
The Shirley peoples are the best Of
their family for cutting, but they
should be cut In the early morning be-
fore the dew is off, and placed at
once in water, or they will wilt. Carry
vessel of water to the garden and
set the poppies deep In It. and they
will last quite while. To prolong
the season the flowers should be cut
every day.
Empress candytuft Is white variety
bearing very large clusters. 1t is es-
pecially good for sowing broadcast
among perennials, or as a ground cover
among later blooming plants. Proper
ty grown 1t covers the soil with a
sheet of white bloom, and 1t Is one OF
the best spring flowers for cutting.

The easiest and most profitable way
to get into the hog business is by buy
Ing pure-bred boar to use on good
grade sows. A grade sow that can be
sold for no more than her value on the
pork market is worth to the pork pro-
Queer as much as a 500 pure-bred
SOW. A pure-bred SOW costing less
than $50 as gilt, will rarely give sat
lsfaction as breeder. for the chances
are that she is out of litter Of eight
pigs or less, and consequently can be
expected to produce only small litters.
The producer Of pork must have large
filters. Grade sows selected from pro-
life mothers will produce much larger
filters than cheap pure-bred sows.
Their pigs will not have the finish or
show qualities obtained from pure
breds, but II they are mated with first
class bears they will make gains as
satisfactorily, and produce as much
pork, with less than one-half the in.

A well bred boar selected out of

and eggs. Birds of this type are most
generally kept on American farms.
Fowls of this class are good layers,
good weighers, and good payers. They
hold medium place in nearly all re.
spects between the egg and meat type,
In some degrees combining the good
qualities Of both. They are quiet In
disposition, mature quickly, are good
sitters, and good foragers.

that he must have despaired of

LIME AND CLOVER
(By J. G. McAmis, Division of Exten.

(By J. G. McAmis, Division of Exten.
sion, University Of Tennessee.)
Almost everybody believes that
clover needs lime. Many farmers are
trying to get the combination. The
mistake has often been made that the
lime has been applied to the surface
on old clover stands, or soon after
new ones have been seeded. The re.
suit has been disappointing.
Lime should be mixed with the top
few inches of soil before the clover Is
sown. The lime tends to go into the
soil, but the clover often dies for the
want OF it before It has had time to
take effect.

CHARACTER READINGS.

When you hear woman talking
Of a soul that should be free
And a prisoned spirit walking
In it's cell, bereft of glee;
When she says that her endeavor
To be thoughtful, kind and good
She discovers is forever
Being quite misunderstood,
You can take it without question
That she couldn't broil a steak
And her folks have indigestion
From the things she tries to bak
When you hear man declaring
That his luck is always tough,
And remark in tones despairing
That this world is all a bluff;
When with egotistic scolding
That is trying to the nerves
He says Fortune is withholding
The reward that he deserves,
lou can bet he is bestowing
Every nickel that he gets
Where the beverage is flowing
Through a haze of cigarettes.
