WHY WON'T THE GUTTER
G0al ASKS HOUSEWIFE

tBy I. a. E.Ega, division OF EXtsn
sion, University OF Tepaessee,)
This is question often heard in
the farm hGme III this season Of the
year. There are several conditions
which cause di!Gea.t cburnng, but dur
ms the winter season, when most diff.
ficuity is found, il is Likely caused
from one or more OF tie following con
ditions:
Milk or cream from COWS well al.
yanced in the period OF iacialon, or
those nearly dry, is harder to churn
than cream from some cows when
fresh. The igrm COW is often nearly
dry during the winter months. and on
most farms, she is ted on dry iced.
The butter TAT is harder, and hence
the cream is harder to churn than
when the COW is fresh and running on
a coed pasture
Probably the most frequent cause Of
difficult churuing is that OF ehurning
cold cream. This often happens in
the winter time There is no certain
temperature at which TO churn; but.
this will have to be determined in this
way: Churn at whatever temperature
the cream will churn in twenty to
thirty minutes. This may vary under
different conditions as much as ten
degrees, but under average conditions
q higher temperature 0ill be needed in
winter than in summer.
Sour cream will churn more readily
than will sweet cream, other things be.
ing equal In cold weather the cream
Is not apt to be thoroughly soured.
If it does not sour by the time that
a sufficient quantity is accumulated
for churning, the temperature should
be raised to about 20 degrees and held
there for few hours. 1t may be
necessary in some cases to add lit
tie sour butter milk from a previous
churning to start the cream souring
II a barrel churn is used, 1t should
not be filleds more than one-third to
one-half full, in order that the cream
will have room to become thoroughly
agitated in the process Of churning.

PREPARING THE Stock

AS the season for spring work a.
proaches, the work stock. which have
been standing idle most Of the winter
and receiving light rations Of grain,
should be prepared for the hard work
to come. At least two weeks should
be taken to get them In good eonditios
for work, during which time their
grain should be increased TO q normal
work ration. Quite commonly they
are put right to the pillow with no pre-
parations, and in a weeks time they
are so reduced in flesh that 1t 10 i'm

course, means serious loss.
Most of the sore shoulders and

which gives so much trouble through
out the season, often times are caused
during the first few days of spring
work by Hitting, or rough collars and
harness. The collars should be
thoroughly cleaned and present q
smooth surface to the shoulder. II
they do not fit they should not be used.
The harness should be thoroughly gone
over and all the places not In order

Hair Cut Slow In London.

II takes twice as long to get your
hair cut In London as it did before the
war. In itself this loss OF time can
scarcely be called momentous, but as
a symptom It Ia significant of a great
deal. The fact that London BARRIERS
are reducing their stats and have to
fall back upon inexpert assistance is a
single illustration of Industrial
changes that are going on everywhere

namely: the production of both meat
and eggs. Birds of this type are most
generally kept on American farms.
Fowls of this class are good layers,
good weighers, and good payers. They
hold medium place in nearly all re-
spects between the egg and meat type,
In some degrees combining the good
qualities of both. They are quiet in
disposition, mature quickly, are good
sitters, and good foragers.
With proper feeding, housing, and
attention, they have proven their
merits and intense value to their
breeders.

erly grown early cabbage will stand
several degrees of frost when set in
the garden. Many gardeners set theil
earliest cabbage on the north side OF
a ridge so as to protect the plants
from the early morning sun during
frosty weather.
Cabbage demands the richest soil, Q
constant moisture supply, and perfect
drainage. AS it is an early vegetable.
high tillage is necessary to let In air
and thus warm the soil. Plants set IN
February should be well established by
the middle of March. A teaspoon Of
nitrate of soda, applied in a narrow
circle around each plant when growth
begins, will greatly stimulate the
growth. For best results make two or
three applications at intervals Of three
weeks. But, for the home garden very
good results are assured by the use Of
plenty of manure with frequent hoeing
and shallow cultivation. The best early
variety is Charleston Wakefield. An
exceptionally good second early w.
riety is Henderson's EARLY Summer.
