CARE OF CREAM IN SUMMER
Few Simple Rules Given Which
Should Be FoIIowed-Dirt Always
Carries Bad FIaVors.

By W. B. COMBS, Missouri College OF
Agriculture.)
During the hot days of summer the
farmer who is selling cream to the
creamery finds it a problem to keep
his cream in the proper condition
However, there are but a few simple
rules which should be followed, that
would result in better cream. First
of all these is cleanliness. Dirt, re-
member, carries bad f1avors. If the
barn or its surroundings and cows are
dirty it will result in poor milk; poor
milk results in poor cream; poor
cream results in poor butter.
Immediately after separating, the
cream should be cooled down to at
least so degrees Fahrenheit. Warm
cream should never be poured upon
cold as the temperature of the lot is
raised and bad favors may result. 1t
is essential that the cream be stirred
frequently to insure uniform ripening.
If the cream lis left undistUrbed, the
fat rises the same way as it does in
milk. AS a result the cream is full of
curd particles or it becomes 'lumpy." d"
Never put cream in rusty or bat
tered can and always remember that
milk and cream have that property of
absorbing bad flavors.

CAPONIZING is NOT
EMBARRASSING JOB
Recommended by Louisiana Ex-
pert as Good Way of Dis
posing of Surplus Males.

(By A. F. ROLF. Louisiana Experiment
Station.)
Allowing the male bird to remain
in the flock during the summer months
is the chief reason for poor quality of
eggs. A temperature of IS degrees
will start life development in fertile
egg and as soon as this development
is arrested, decay sets in. In our warm
summer climate it is difficult mat
ter to keep the temperature of the egg
below IS degrees at all times. We
may see that this is done while the
eggs are in our possession; but when
they are being hauled to the depot, or
are awaiting shipment, it almost in
variably happens that they are ex-
posed to the sun and the. temperature
allowed to go too high.
On the other hand, infertile eggs will
keep almost Indefinitely, and need only
to be kept free from dampness.
It would, of course, be expensive
and wasteful to destroy the male birds
that were not wanted in the flock, so
caponizing is resorted to. This is a
very simpls operation and may be
mastered by anyone with little prac,
tice.

ing should be subtracted from the
amount of the first reading. Thus, if
the first reading is so feet and the sec
ond is 4 feet Ito the right of D., the
total height of the tree will be so less
or 76 feet.
Using Upper Scale.
The upper scale is to be used in com
putting the height of trees less than
about Is feet high or in measuring
other trees when it is impossible to
see the top or the point on the trunk
at q distance of 100 feet. In using the
upper scale the observer should stand
only so feet from the tree, but in this
case the readings, of course, would be
made on the line JK and exactly as
they would be made at 100 feet on the
line AID.
Finding Number and Length of Me"~
chantabIe Logs.
In the example given, the total
height of the tree was measured. To
the owner of a woOdlot or timber it is
even of more practical Importance to
measure the height to a point on the
tree beyond which there is no mer-
charitable saw timber. This measure
ment is made in the same way as that
described above except that the instru-
ment is pointed at what will be the
top of the last log when the tree is cut,
and then at the point where the top of
the stump will be.

KEEPING CROWS OUT
OF THE CORN FIELD
Effective Way Of Frightening
Birds Is to Kill Few and
String Them to Poles.
Ry F. L. WASHBURN, University
Farm, St Paul, Minn)


Farm, st. Paul, Minn)
Scarecrows, poisoned corn and
crows hung from poles in the field are
common methods of protecting seed
corn from crows.
The old scarecrow is still in COM
mon use about the corn fields, and
some farmers string white cord about
the field, from which they hang bright
pieces of tin, which fiutter in the wind.
Scarecrows, if used, should be
changed occasionally. The crows soon
become accustomed to any scarecrow,
however.
A very effective way of keeping
crows from the corn is to shoot two
or three and hang them by string
from poles in the field. Some farmers
resort to trapping, and, having caught
few crows in steel traps, hanging
them alive from poles. This is not a
humane practice, and we cannot, there
fore, recommend it.
If one uses poisoning, corn may be
soaked in a solution of strychnine. Ten
cents worth of sulphate of strychnine
dissolved in enough hot water to soak
two quarts of corn will serve well. Poi
Soned bait of this kind should be scat.
tered about the field late in the eve
ming, when there will be less danger
of its being eaten by poultry, stock or
game birds.

FEEDING SILAGE IN SUMMER
Farmer Must Decide for Himself
Whether Practice Is Cheaper Than

Every farmer must decide for him
self whether it is cheaper or more
profitable to feed silage during the
summer or let the COWS get most of
their feed from the pastures. If you
have land suitable for no other pur-
pose than raising grass it would not
pay to let it lie idle, but if your farm
consists largely of tillable land the
situation is quite different. 1t costs
time and money to raise corn and put
it in the silo and feed it out, but on
