JUNE.
(Mrs. Jerome Floyd.)

June! The leafy month of June
When all nature seems attune.
When waving grass in the summer
breeze
Re- echoes the whisper of murmuring
trees.
While blossoming daisies nod and
sway,
The cuckoo sings his grooming lay,
Perched on the APPLE bough of green
His graceful form is plainly seen.
And voice of robin, as if free from care,
Flaunts his song on the fragrant air.
His melodous notes, with pathos
stirred,
Reveal the sweetest song of bird.
The purling brook meath woods of
green
Reflects the sunlight's shade and sheen.
And as it's murmuring music swells,
Re-echoes through the woodland dells.
While skies of blue above are bending,
June speaks of Natures joy unending.
With buttercups golden and unfolding
fern,
OF Natures wisdom we have yet to
learn.

WHY MILK TESTS VARY

",
Animal Industry, U. of Nd
The butter-fat test of milk is sub
ject to variations because of some of
the following factors: Breed of cows,
period of lactation, portion of milk
drawn, nervous excitation of the COW,
improper sampling of the milk and
improper manipulation OF, the Bah
The four chief dairy breeds, in the
order of their milk-fat content, from
highest to lowest are: Jersey,
Guernsey, Ayrshire and Holstein
Freisian. Within each breed are in
dlvldual cows whose milk will test
higher or lower than the breed
average.
In general as the lactation period
advances the fat test of the cows
milk increases. The milk first drawn
from COW is very much lower in fat
content than the last drawn or
'strippings."
Ii a COW has been frightened or is
greatly excited it may affect the test
or her milk, making it higher or
lower than normal. If the milk sam
pie saved for testing is not taken
from well mixed pail or can of milk
the test will not be truly representa-
tive of the per cent. of fat in the
milk.
The BabcoSk test should be cor
rectly performed in order to obtain
accurate results.
In connection with the butter-fat
test of cream there are a number of
factors which tend to bring about diff
ferences in cream test from time to
time, and some of the factors are not
always given the attention that,
should be given them They are:
Method of separation employed,
whether gravity or centrifugal; test
of milk separated speed of separator
bowl; bowl out of balance; rate of
inflow milk; amount of liquid used
to flush bowl; dirty condition of
bowl; and manipulation of Bah
cock test
II milk is set in pans or deep,
small-diametered cans, to allow the
cream to rise, considerable variation
will be found in the tests of the
cream. In the centrifugal method of
Dreaming less variation may be ex-
pected f conditions are uniformly
the Sc me. The following conditions
app to the hand separator:
III the milk varies in test from time
to time the cream separated from it
Will vary in test a per cent. for each
one-tenth per cent. variation in test.
IL the milk it too low in tempera-
ture the test of the cream will be
higher because the cream outlet be-
comes clOgged.
II the speed of the bowl is in
creased beyond normal the test of
the cream WILDE increased and if
speed is below normal the opposite
effect is obtained.
When the bowl is out of balance,
due to the separator being out of
level, the test of the cream is de-:
creased.
The faster the milk flows into the
separator the lower the cream will
test.
II varying amounts Of skinned
milk or water are used to flush the
separator bowl after the runs, the
test of the cream will be affected.

THE STRAWBERRY BED.
Suggestions as to Plant ~ and Care
of the Home Patch.
(E. ". Wooster. Ellsworth.)

of the Home Patch.
(E. w. Wooster. Ellsworth)
Any soil that will grow good gar
den truck is all right for strawber-
ries, if it it not too sweet. For best
results the soil must be quite acid
and full Of humus to a depth of at
least a foot This can be made so by
q heavy application of well decom-
Tosed stable manure, supplanted by
high-grade commercial fertilizer, all
worked into the soil at least a week
before the plants are set. See that
the bed has perfect surface drainage.
AS to variety, if We're confined to
a single selection | would take the
Brandywine. When under high cult
yatlon, and each plant given suf-
fcient room, its first berries are the
largest, most beautiful in color and
of the best quality when fully ripe
But that variety is only medium in
productiyeness, decreases in size
after the first pickines and in a wet
season is much inclined to rust The
Uncle Jim, Bubach aud Senator Dun
lap are all good varieties for the
gardener; but if you are LOOKING for
berry that will fill the most baskets
and hold out large to the end of a
very long season, the Glen Mary is
the one.
Set strong, healthful plants. as
near your home as you can get them,
and set them as early in the spring
as you can get the ground ready
Prepare your plants by pudding"
the roots in mixture of clay, old
manure and water of about the con-
sistency of molasses. With trowel
dig a hole three inches deep, and
with the hands form a cone of earth
the arex of which should be about
one inch below the surface. On this
apex set the base of the crown of the
plant, it's roots extending evenly
down the sides of the cone, the base
of which should be about four inches
in diameter; bring the earth against
the plant and press down hard on the
roots, but lightly against the crown
of the plant.
If there are more than three rows
in the bed there should be space of
foliage should be nipped off and the
whole surface mulched with fine
straw. Weeds must be kept down
and no runners allowed to form
plants. After the fruit is all gath
cred, NOW the plants close to the
ground, rake off all mulch into the
bitches, stir the ground with a
pronged hoe up to within three
inches of the plants; more lightly
around them; cover the whole sur
face with an application of good
phosphate. On top of this mulch the
whole surface with we'll decomposed
barn manure, leaving the tops Of the
plants exposed. After the ground
freezes, cover lightly with evergreen
boughs.
If your object is not to have fruit
| the first season, train the first run
| ners from the plants to take root
where the two side rows would have
been by the other system. Pinch off
all blossom buds and treat all sur
plus runners as weeds of the worst
kind. A bed cannot be profitably
fruited more than two seasons.
Never plant on ground that is
badly infested with the white grub
Ground that has been under cultiva-
ton two succeeding seasons and kept
clean of weeds will have no grubs
Sodded ground is almost sure to have
grubs in it.
