REMOVING THE BUTTER FROM THE cHuRN.

! the water. The water is then drawn
off through the same strainer used for
the buttermilk. The same quantity of
water, at the same temperature, is
again added, and the washing opera
ton is repeated until the water drawn
from the churn shows no color of but
termilk. In addition to removing but
termilk the wash water has the effect
of hardening the butter.
Sailing and Working Butter.
After the washing in the churn has
been finished the butter-worker is
scalded and cooled with cold water to
swell the pores of the wood and pre-
vent the butter from sticking. The
churn is then drawn near the worker
and the butter granules are taken
from the churn with a paddle and ladle
and placed on the worker The hands
should never touch the butter, as their
warmth melts the fat, and if they are
not clean such handling Is insanitary.
The butter is saIted on the worker.
Fine, clean salt in The proportion of
one ounce to the pound of butter
should be sprinkled uniformly over the
butter. More or less salt may be used
as the taste of the consumer may pre-
fer.
Working the butter should be done
by pressing the pile of granules with
the lever until the butter is in Il fut
mass about one inch thick. This should
then be folded over upon itself and
the tlattening process repeated, the
butter being pressed carefully in order
to avoid making it greasy 1t should
be worked in this way until the salt is
evenly distributed throughout the
mass. The working of butter dis
tributes the salt and expels the excess
moisture. The edges of the butter
when broken or pulled apart should
have a granular appearance similar to
broken east steel or broken half
baked potato. Properly worked but
ter retains its granular form at all
times. Too much working or working
the butter when too soft destroys the
grain, and the edges when broken or
pulled apart have 4 slightly tstringT
appearance like chewing gum pulled
apart.

FOWLS NEED PROTEIN
heterogeneous Material Essential
to Egg Production.
Small Proportion Of Beef Scrap With
Bran, Shorts and Whole Wheat
Produces Good Results Says
Kansas Expert.

Protein is essential to heavy egg
production. In just what form to sup
ply this food element is question that
puzzles many farmers, as well as
townspeople, who are not in IA posi-
ton to grow their own feed.
InsectS--in Season-furnish much
protein where the birds are on range.
Poultry feeders have used raw meats
or by-products of packing plants,
known as beef scrap. AS the demand
has increased, the price Of the latter
has advanced. Now a few poultry
raisers consider it too expensive and
are supplying protein through yege-
table sources.
COttonseed meal Is the most COM
monty used substitute, but where this
has been given in place of all other
heavy protein supplying feeds, the re-
suit has not been all that could be de.
sired, points out n. L. Harris, super
intendent Of the poultry farm at the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
On the other hand where cottonseed
meal has been used rs a supplement to
beef scrap at the rate of 30 per cent of
the ration. 1t apparently has given as
good results as an exclusive meat
scrap diet. On account Of the bulk
needed it is impossible for a hen to
consume enough sour milk or butter
milk.
Ordinarily the beef scrap shonid
constitute 70 perreAt q The 'atien, III

More Drainage Talk

In the Tennessee Republican
Jan. 5 there appeared an article
on drainage in which Engineer A.
A.Old6eld was paid some very nice
compliments, and upon investiga-
ton it was found that Mr.. Old
field was the author of the article.
Just why he did not sign it we do
not know.
He says ''his explanation to a
large gathering at the court house
did a great deal toward enlighten-
ing some Of those who oppose the
project, and from then changed
their views"
Now this was when lie attempt
el to break up meeting of the
opposition and | never heard of
any one changing his views. Tie
says He explained forcibly that
lie alone could give authentic in
fswmation and that little credence
should be placed in any others
Now in this meeting he stated,
he hid not think the cost would
be over eight dollars per acre, and
that if 1t was over nine dollars per
acre that he would oppose it and
ask the court not to recommend
it," Now he says, the cost will
hs nine dollars and weight
cents per acre" and he is asking
TIE court to recommend it. Which
statement is "authentic"9
He says, 1t is the general de-
sire that he should complete his
work and take charge of the en-
gIneering necessary to carry out
his plans" He says 1t would be
distinct loss to the county to lose
his service" Now have heard
nothing of the threatened panic
aud | fear Mr.. Oldheld is thinking
more of his personal loss than to
the loss of the county, or is he
afraid his plans will not bear the
investigation of some other engin-
ecr. He says He has already re-
ported that almost all the lands
are, benefited 100 per cent and
should be so assessed" If that is
authentic" why the need of three
assessors? Does he want to die
tate to the assessors what they
d)?
This is a grave question that af-
fects the rights of our homes,
Does Mr.. Oldfeld expect the peo-
pie to pay the $4,000 and sit up
and look pleasant and tamely sub
mist to his plans while he hides be-
hind the editor of county news
