Letter from the Dead.

On the body of a British soldier
recently killed at the front, was found
the following letter addressed to his
mother: II am dead; Il have lived
my life, fought the good fight, and
given my life willingly and happily
for your cakes on the altar of duty.
The fighting will be severe, the suf-
fering great; but, mother darling,
every child whom God receiveth He
scourgeth. 1t is only part of the imi-
tation Of our blessed Lords life-just
a weak, unworthy imitation-but the
best a poor, puny, sinful child can
make. l plead with you not to worry.
Put all your faith, your hope, your
trust in the God of love-

particles and any foreign matter that
may be in it. In order to have the
necessary concussion the churn should
he only about one-third full. If TOO
full, the churning period is prolonged
and If the cream foams it nearly fills
the churn and prevents conclusion. In
that case it is usually necessary to re-
move some of the cream in order to
obtain butter in reasonable time.
Except late in the spring and early
in the summer, when butter has a nat
orally high color, small quantity Of
butter color is usually added. In vim
ter the quantity required to produce
q shade Of yellow like the desirable
June color varies from about 90 to IS
dropsSper gallon of cream.
The color having been added to the
| cream, the churn may be started at q
speed to produce the greatest concus-
sion, which may be determined largely
by the sound. About 60 revolutions
minute is the usual speed for the COM
mon barrel type Of churn. After a
few revolutions the churn should be
stopped, bottom up, and the cork re-
| moved to permit the escape Of gas.
i This is repeated two or three times in
the early stages Of churning. AT that
period cream produces very liquid
sound and the glass in the churn Is
/ evenly covered with cream.
When churning Is nearly completed
there is a noticeable difference in the
sound made by the cream, while on
the glass in the cfurn a thick, mushy
mass will appear, which occasionally
breaks away, leaving the glass clear.
At this point the butter granules are
just forming and the cream is thick
and finely granular, like yellow corn
meal mush with buttermi;k separating
slightly from the tiny glanules. The
churn should be revolyed several
times, then stopped and the butter ex-
amined in order to prevent overchurn.
4 ing. When the granulcs are the size
Of grains Of wheat the churning is
completed. To continue the churning
until the butter is In large masses is
n bad practice, because 1t Incorporates
quantities of butterlnilk which cannot
4 be washed out. The bad effect of too
much buttermilk in the butter has
been discussed already.

Automatic Water Pan for Furnace

An extra large water pan, illus
trated in Poplar Mechanics Magazine,
is now being installed in furnaces of a
certain make, which is equipped to fill
automatically when almost empty.
The pan holds seven gallons, and one
end makes contact with the fire pot,
so that evaporation is very rapid.
Water is supplied through pipe, the
flow being governed by f1oat7con-

A Good, Heavy Pig Such as Nation
Wants.
amount of capital necessary and the
small probability Of getting satisfac-
tory returns on the money invested.
So far as can be ascertained in cases
in which failure has been met with
the trouble has been mostly due to the
fact that hog cholera was allowed to
claim a large portion of the animals;
in other words, the owners failed to
immunize their stock in a proper man
ner. The belief that hogs fed on garb-
age are exposed daily to the danger of
cholera infection Is well founded.
There is always the possibility that
garbage contains scraps of pork, such
as rinds and trimmings from hams
and bacon, or products of cholera car
casses that have been prepared for!
markets at small local slaughtering
houses where no inspection is main
tanned. These pieces of choleraic pork,
without doubt, will reproduce the dis
ease If consumed in the raw state by
source of Infection which may be re-
tanned on the premises under garbage
feeding conditions.
The hog raiser who feeds garbage
iE limited way only to supplement
in part other classes of feed can read
lily arrange to cook the garbage thor
oughly before feeding and in this way
eliminate, to large degree, the dam
ger of cholera injection. If, however,
large herds are fed on garbage en-
tirely, cooking is not practicable and
from the feeders point Of view it is
not advisable. Therefore, in all such
cases it is Of the utmost Importance
that the animals be immunized and
thus protected from hog cholera; in
fact, owners Of such enterprises should
be sure that hogs are permanently Inn
mune before they are placed on such
feed.
Pigs narrowed from immune sows
have a natural resistance to hog chol-
era during their sucking period. When
they are about to lose this degree Of
immunity, about weaving time, they
should be given the simultaneous inoc-
ulation (serum and virus). Even with
this method Of treatment few in
dividuals may become again suscep-
tible; therefore the herd should be
observed closely at all times and
treated again If any Of the animals
show signs of Infection.
Considering the income derived from
hogs and the reasonable rates at which
garbage has been obtained, the extra
expense of treating the animals must
be viewed as part of business prop
osition, such as insuring against de
struction by fire OF against accidents
of any kind; and feeders Of garbage
cannot consider their business as safe
unless they protect It against all pos
sible reverses, Of which the most serl
GUS is hog cholera.

ADAPTED TO SOIL BUILDING
Sheep Peculiarly Beneficial to Land

Droppings Are Rich.

A great many farms that have been
cropped year after year are rapidly

rich and are scattered over the fields
