THE SPEED MANIAC.

All men should lift their feet and
kick against the cheerful lunatc who
gives his car no end Of power and
burns up sixty miles an hour. We
see him whiz by our abodes; we meet
him on the country roads; he kills
our geese and cats and dogs, and
spoils our Poland China hogs. We
are with terror stricken dumb when
we behold the monster come, and
climb tree furlong high to save
ourselves till he goes by. He scorch-
es through the country town, and
runs the leading grocer down, an6
scars the local merchant prince, and
no regret does he evince. Then comes
a driver safe and sane, who has not
speed upon the brain; he ambles by
the village tower at fifteen modest
miles an hour. The villagers are sad
and sore; they've found that speeding
is bore, and now they're looking
for goat; they seize that driver by
the throat, and take him to the dom
jon keep, where he may gnash his
teeth and weep They fine aim forty.
seven wheels, with trimmings added,
so he feels, when he's permitted to
withdraw, there surely ought to be a
law. This happens every day or
three; the criminal too oft goes free,
while motorists who'd not offend must
pay the fiddler in the end.

THE BOYS HANDICAP.

Professor A. S. Alexander declares
that defect in a horses veins will
take five generations of better breed
ing to correct. He makes the effect
of heredity upon horses SO plain that
we find ourselves applying it to men.
Horse breeders have come to under
stand this terrible handicap in their
efforts to obtain perfect specimens of
animals, but parents have not taken
the lesson to heart.
If horse has a five-year struggle to
get even for one single mistake nature
makes, how much more bitter the
struggle of a boy to overcome the mis-
takes with the added ignorance of in
different or criminal parents?
The effect of heredity upon the men
tai, physical and moral nature of boys
is certainly worth as much study and
interest as upon animals, but there is
yet much to be done, Let us hope
that when we have learned how to
breed perfect horses we may turn our
attention toward creating a better in
f1uence upon the lives Of boys and
men.-C. M. Miller.

KILLING WILD ONIONS.

The secret Of the vitality Of the wild
onion lies in the two sorts of under
ground bulbs. Each plant produces
one large bulb which terminates in
the fall and four or five small ones
which start growth in the spring.
Late fall blowing, followed by early
spring blowing and planting the in
tested land to some clean cultivated
crop destroys the wild onion pest by
killing both sorts Of bulbs as the
growth from them appears and before
they have had chance to multiply.
The fall blowing should be deep and
care should be taken to completely
bury all green tops Of the onion. If
very much top growth has been made,
harrow, run before the pillow will
facilitate the thorough covering of the
tops.
Another interesting and valuable
point about the wild onion is that the
spring bulbs rarely produce heads;
consequently, If the infested land is
plowed in the fall, a spring oat crop
practically free Of onions can always
be secured. But for complete eradi-
cation Of the onion, both fall and
spring plow1ng IS necessary

THE RIPENING OF CREAM.


BY the ripening of cream Is mean,
the changes it undergoes from the
time Of separation until 1t Is added
to the churn. Upon these changes
depends very largely the quality of
butter as regards texture and flavor.
The temperature at which cream is
held determines the frmness or tex
ture. while the favor is dependent
upon the by-products from the bac-
terial growth.
The purpose Of ripening cream is
fundamentally that Of giving the but
ter the desired flavor and aroma, but
in addition 1t increases the ease and
efficiency Of churning. Cream Is
ripened In one Of two ways:
First. 1t sours or ripens as a result
Of the action of bacteria which are
normally present in milk and cream;
or, .E. ..,
Second. it ripens as result of ac-
ton of certa In kinds of bacteria which
are added in what is termed q start

spurs are left at the top wire, about
Sc inches from the ground. These
canes which are tied to the wire on
each side Of the vine, produce fruiting
shoots which are allowed. to hang
down or droop.
This system Is named after William
Kniff1n, who first employed It, 1t
has been extensively used along the
Hudson River and elsewhere, and is
said to be especially adapted to strong
growing varieties. Vines trained by
this system are easily and quickly
pruned and require only a limited
amount of labor in the growing season.

SENSIBLE HORSE RATTONS.

! A gentleman engaged extensively In
the lumber business in the north has
q large number Of horses which he
feeds by system which makes and
keeps them healthy, hardy and vigor-
Gus.
In feeding them he cuts the hay and
grinds the oats; the hay being we'll
soaked with water fourteen hours be-
fore 1t IS fed. A little bran is added
to the ground oats and this mixed meal
is then mixed with the hay.
The feed is given morning and night,
oats alone being fed at noon.
The ration per head g day Is ten
pounds Of the hay. ten pounds ground
oats and one pound of bran, with
eight pounds Of dry oats fed at noon
During seven years Of such feeding
the lumberman has not lost a single
horse, while previous to that he often
lost one from some digestive disorder.
Horses on the farm would not re-
quire such heavy feeding, but the
combination Of food and manner of
feeding could be followed by farmers
with profit -@ ~.

Water sprouts and suckers do not

Below the basal bud on each cane
are one or more dormant buds, which

when too few eyes are left in pruning

Utilizing Surplus Milk

Be Made Profitable.

One Of the most economical ways II
which milk plants can dispose Of sur

skinned milk, or from SKINNED milk
and whole milk which has not been
churned-should be labeled and sold
under name indica ting its true char
acter. This opinion. however does
e not imply in any way that artificial
buttermilk is not a healthful and de-
sirable beverage.
For the benefit of those dealers
who do not understand the CONNER
cial manufacture of buttermilk and
artificial buttermilk, the following in
structions have been issued:
n "Clean, sweet skim milk or whole
milk should be used-and pasteuriza-
ton is preferable. as 1t insures bet

and a sanitary standpoint. Better re-
suits are obtained from skim milk II
some whole milk is mixed with it,
as one part whole milk to three parts
skim milk. Run the milk into a
water -jacketed vat. and add good,
clean starter enough to ripen the milk
by the time wanted for churning. Five
to ten gallons Of starter for each LOO
gallons of milk should be sufficient
Take particular care to keep a good
starter on hand, renewing 1t as often
out flies and dirt. and ripen the milk
at temperature Of from so degrees
TO 20 degrees F. The ripening tenn
,perature will depend upon the amount
of starter added and the length of
time which the milk has to set Ripen
the milk until it is coagulated into a
rather soft curd. If the milk ripens
too rapidly, run cold water around
the vat to check the process. When
the milk is ready, strain 1t into the
churn and churn for about 20 min

the buttermilk and cool it at once,

retail buttermilk at once. Many firms
use brown bottles for buttermilk,
which seems to be a good plan, as no
mistakes will be made in delivery, and
the bottles can be kept separate for

THE GRAPE VINE AND SOME METHODS OF TRAINING IT
"'Dp"

covered with earth the growing
tips being allowed to project
above the soil. Roots will form by
autumn and the layers can then be
cut from the parent vines and divided,
the laterals which were left usually
forming the tops Of the new plants.
After being divided, the plants should
be thoroughly heeled in, like plants
from seeds or cuttings. In general
practice the layers are not disturbed
until wanted for use in the spring.
Where vines are on overhead ar
bors. layers can be made by placing
boxes Of soil on the arbors and layer
ing the canes into these boxes.
There are many so-ca1led methods
of grating. Bench, nursery, and vine
yard grating are resorted to in gen.
eral vineyard practice. The mechani
cal operations performed are similar
and the underlying principles are the
same, the essential difference being, as
the names imply, the place where the
work is done.

TOO MUCH GRAIN FED IN GROWING BEEF

Nearly twice as much grain Is given
growing as can be used, says T. L..
Hacker of University Farm, ST. Paul,
who has, for nine years been con-
Quoting experiments in fattening cat
tie. According to Mr. Hacker, it
does not add to the farmers bank &C
count to Overfeed the cattle and ex-
pect the hogs to dig the waste out of
the manure pile, Feeding expert
ments commonly used, before this,
from 10 to 20 pounds of grain per
day during the fattening period. Mr..
Hacker never succeeded in feeding
II pounds. To feed a steer from the
time he weighs 100 pounds until he
weighs 1900 pounds. according to the
tests, requires on the average the fol-
lowing amounts Of feed: Grain,
1852 pounds-consisting of approx
imately Is bushels of corn, 81 bushels
Of barley, 81 bushels Of oats, 1858
pounds of bran, 645 pounds of oil
meal and 323 pounds of middlings;
2,S99.5 pounds OF hay, and 3,240.e
pounds of silage.
The grain cost for the five chief
groups of steers used in experiments
by Mr.. Hacker, avera ged for the first
year $14.32 head and for the second
year 1892, making a total cost of
$54.24 for the grain feed for a 2
year-old steer finished for market
A small daily gain was found to be
more profitable. A gain of a little
less than two pounds a day was kept
up on these steers. 1t gave better re-

WHAT ONE FARMER DID.

J. F. Barker, a graduate of the Col
lege of Agriculture Of Ohio State Uni
versity, lives in Meigs county, Ohio.
For years the farmers of his commun-
ity had been unable to grow clover.
While in college he learned about acid
soils and the use of lime. In the
spring, when he went home, he de-
cided to try an experiment on his
home farm. He placed few BUSH
els of lime on some litter in the
manure spreader and drove across the
field Where he applied the lime
there was an excellent growth of
clover in a strip wagon-wide but there
was none elsewhere. This little ex-
pertinent attracted the attention of
the neighbors and a number of them
tried lime with gratifying results
Now, that community is growing clo-
Yer and improving it's soils all be-
cause one boy went to the College of
Agriculture. This is truly a case
where "a little leaven leaveneth the
whole lump"
