UNIFORM COLOR IS DESIRED
Churning Beoins--oyerchurnino Is Undesirable.

A uniform color in the butter from one season to the other is desirable, hence during the winter when the cows are getting dry feed little col bring should be added. Too much col bring, however. is very undesirable. When coIoring Is used 1t should be added just before the churning begins.
 Stopping the churn at the proper time has much to do with the quality of the butter. If should be stopped when the butter is Tn the form of granules about the size of a kernel of wheat or trifle larger. When the butter is ehurned to too small gran ules many of them will go through the buttermilk strainer and will cause more or less loss. Overchurning is un- desirable because the butter will retain considerable buttermilk which Is diff cult to remove and which also tends to cause the butter to deteriorate faster. As soon as the churning has been com pleted, the buttermilk should be drawn off

BLACKLEG IS TO BE AVOIDED
Infectious Disease Usually Attacks Cattle Between Ages of Six
 Months and Two Years.

The infectious disease known as blackleg usually affects cattle between the ages of six months and two and one-half years. It gains entrance to the tissues through small wounds on the skin.
 A swelling occurs beneath the skin on the hindquarters, the shoulder. or the lower portion of the neck. If the hand Is passed over this swelling 1t crackles, and If cut into. a yellowish, bloody fluid flows out. The carcasses of dead animals should be buried or burned and the spots where they died should be disinfected.
 The healthy cattle should be re- moved from infected pastures and all susceptible cattle should be vaccinated.

 Field Engineer Roy Hutchins is in the city at present engaged in taking levels. When the work is completed a report will be made to the common council for necessary action.

 A member of the board said this morning that the commissioners have no plans at present. They will be guided wholly by the report made after the examination is completed. The tone of the report submitted to the council leaves no room to doubt that the Icom missioners believe that the system needs a general overhauling and improvement to bring it up to the growing requirements of the city.
