the disk on the harrows SO they will

placed side by side. Now set them
close together side by side in the mid

a light log chain and fasten the har-
rows together. Put team on each

GOOD FARM BUTTER MAKING
Greater Attention Should Be Given to
Details Concerning Factors
Affecting the Quality.
(By j. kEITHLEY.)

(By ]. KEITHLEY)
The following few brief instructions
will prove of great assistance to farm
butter Makers
Churn at a temperature that will
give a firm, faky granula in the but,
ter. This temperature varies slightly
with the season, but ranges from So
degrees to So degrees f. The use of
a thermometer and intelligent obser-
walton, as result of a few churnings,
will enable the butter maker to deter,
mine the proper temperature at which
to churn. Churn should be stopped
when butter granules are large as corn
kernels or peas. Time required for
churning should be rs to 80 minutes.
Use clear, pure water for washing
the butter. 1t should not be more
than three degrees colder or warmer
than the buttermilk. Use amount of
water equal to that of the buttermilk

sure the salt is well pulverized and
sift it evenly over the granular butter
before any of the moisture is worked
out.
Work the butter sufficiently to dis
tribute salt without injuring the grain
or texture. Determine working by
l, appearance; 2, texture; 3, grittiness!
Butter, when sufficiently worked,
should present firm, glossy appear
ance. The texture should resemble
the broken end of steel rod There
should be no grittiness due to the un-
evenly distributed or undissolved salt.
This can be determined by taking
small piece of butter between the teeth
and biting into it repeatedly; any grit
tiness will soon be observed. Insuffi-

KEEP SALT HANDY FOR COWS
Maintains Health of Animals and En-,
courages Heavy Milk Flow by
Promoting Digestion.

Experiments have proved the aver,
age milk COW requires about an ounce
of salt per day. Heavy mixers should
have more. Keeping salt where the
dairy cows can reach it at all times
maintains their good health and en-,
courages a heavy milk yield by pro-
noting thorough digestion and assim,
ilation and having cooling effect
on the whole system of the animals, at
the same time making it easier to
bring butter of a superior flavor and
color at churning time.

cient working is generally shown by
a mottled appearance in color on the
cut surface. This is largely due to an
uneven distribution of salt. This re.

butter makers should be to produce a
high-grade article that is uniform
week after week in flavor and compo-
sition. This can be done by careful
methods in ripening, sailing and work.

Night Fly-Fshing for Trout.
From Outing.


My rod was of split bamboo nine
feet long. with considerable back bone,
and weighed just fraction under five
ounces. ] would not advocate a lighter
or more willowy rod for night fishing
unless the wielder was absolutely IA
miliar with the stream to be flshed
even so one will be surprised to find
low hanging branches reaching out to
intercept his rod or entangle his flies.
Nothing need be said regarding line
or reel. but when 1t comes to terminal
tackle the night fisherman will choose
not be over three feet in length: to use
longer one will multiply difficulties
on the average stream, and the flies
should be a fly. If possible, have three
flies. an end fly and two troopers, the
smaller flies are more than amply at
tractive on meadow brooks and small
streams. often where the larger flies
have proved utterly unavailing After
nightfall trout, even in much fished
water, are not so suspicious and will
strike at a commotion on the surface.
Use those flies in which white pre-
dominates only when the fish are feed
ing upon millers and like insects; but
when the insects are of dark color
select a dark -colored midget
Let the landing net be strong, solid
and dependable, and do not use an
overnight rod for night fishing.

Trees for State Roads.
From the Baltimore American

From the Baltimore American.
The decision of the court of appeals
sustaining the validity of the law
which confers upon the state board of
forestry regulative power and author
ity in the matter of planting or cut
ting and pruning trees along the state
highways is of potential importance
In connection with the latest proposal
to improve the side lines of the state
roads by the planting of forest or fruit
trees. The state road law apparently.
IN the original draft. contemplated
such a scheme of improvement While
the planting of shade frees is not made
a mandatory duty on the state road
commission, there is a clause in the
law that opens the way for such a
plan of Identification.
The state forestry BOARD would per-
maps be the agency through which such
a plan could be best realized. The ac-
INVITES OF the annual arbor days have
not been largely resultful in the mat
ter or roadside tree planting. Such a
scheme can only be brought to reali-
cation through systematic and per-
slstently maintained effort But the
idea is good one and should be
brought to realization even though it
is necessary for the state to invest
some money in the undertaking. Moth
ing would more conduce to the beautifi
cation of rural neighborhoods than the
lining of the highways with shade
trees.

Does 1t Pay to Be Courteous?

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Being courteous is a habit which is
likely to develop into a bank account.
There have been surly men who sue
ceeded in business, perhaps because
their employees We're not surly, but for
tune, nevertheless. has usually pre-
ferred to keep steady company with
gentlemen.
Good will is what every business is
looking for, it is part of its capital.
1t is never got by sour faces The
public will not accept discourtesy, even
in fiction. 1t demands good humor, a
happy ending, a 'tthere-Tve-pleased-
YOU attitude on the part of the author.
And one of the strongest assets of a
corrupt political organization is the
fact that publicity concerning it's acts
is necessarily more or less discourteous,
wherefore the public does not like it.
Vice become attractive wren descrip-
tions of it are impolite, SO much does
humanity applaud pleatantness, which
is another name for courtesy.
Yes. courtesy pays, in business or out
of it, even if dividends are sometime
deferred. 1t pays in politics, often at
the sacrifice of public morality, but it
pays most of all right in the home in
the form of happiness coupons.

Ubiquitous Jitneys.

So swift is the development of the
Jltney bus in the east. all in the brief
time since it first appeared in the
streets of Providence. that one follows
its history with difficulty Apparently
the jitney fever strikes each town sud-
denly and then spreads therein like an
epidemic. 1t is only few days ago
that IT reached Philadelphia, but very
quickly there were 1000 motors In the
service, and many are being added daily
to the total. Jitneys already swarm
the principal Connecticut cities, New
Haven being the first to welcome them,
At Bridgeport a ffty-thousand- dollar
corporation operates buses of q dis
tinctive color whose drivers are in uni
form. and this company issues trans
fers between it's different routes. Hart
ford has double decketrs like the 9Th
avenue buses in New York city.
Regulation Of the new conveyances Is
still a problem elsewhere as in Provi-
dence. A bill before the Connecticut
legislature calls for three-thousand-
dollar indemnity bond for each car, but

for the jitneys is 30 strong wherever
they have sprung up that the drastic
measures urged against them by peo-
pie in sympathy with the street rail-
way companies, which are SUFFERING

A Hint to Golfers.

From Outing.
If there is one part of the game more
than another that is likely to try the
golfers patience to the utmost 1t is
putting. When we consider that half
of the game of golf is on the putting
green is not this good reason why
We should be proficient at it, But
on the greens?
The only real sound theory that is
known for putting is to swing your
putter on a dead straight line through
the ball toward the hole. You can
practice this method by putting the
end of the pltter head close up to a
wall and practice swinging your putter
back and forth; pendulum movement
is best, keeping the end of the putter
close to the wall. Try and see If it
does not help your holing out.
