TIMELY HINTS TO
FARMERS

Agricultural Englneerlng-Watc
the spring stream up in the hills to
see if it is holding out good, for it
might be source of water supply
for the house.
Agriculture unfavorable weather
should set in, May swarms will starve
unless fed. Keep ON the lookout.
Farm Crops-Examine all fields for
weeds for some new and dangerous
ones may have appeared since last
year.
Farm Manaeement-On some of
these off days, get the machinery
ready for harvest work. Save time in
harvest by having machinery ready
now.
HorticuIture-(W West side) Cut the
seed potatoes carefully. Very small
cut pieces often either rot or dry out
and produce weak plants. (East side)
Be sure you have some accurate meth
cd or system of checking up on the
evening temperatures in your orchard
You should know just when to apply
the first cover sprays for the codling
moth worms.
Livestock-Remembe that If irri-
gated land is not too high priced to
raise hay, 1t is not too valuable to
pasture.

BUTTER MAKING ON THE FARM

In 1919 the farm women Of this state
made nearly 100000 pounds of but
ter. A survey made in four repre-
sentative counties of the state In 1920
showed that 68 per cent of the farm
women make the butter they use on
their tables.
This fact will surprise many peo-
pie who have assumed that the farm
housewife buys creamery butter and
cleo the same as the city dwellers.
1t is not hard to find the reason
why more busy women have not given
up this task. Butter making is inter
esting. 1t is not to be considered as
drudgery when adequate equipment Is
available and the buttermaker knows
her job.
The farm housekeeper will continue
to make her own butter, because it is
interesting and because her product,
when it is properly made. Is superior
to anything she can buy.
Not all of the GO per cent can make
good butter, however. Many need bet
ter equipment for keeping the cream,
making the butter, and caring for 1t
after 1t Is made.
Here is the scorecard by which ex-
h. bits of farm made butter at COM
munity fairs are Judged:
Package and packing-b per cent.
These should be clean, neat, attrac-
tive; put up in manner that will
attract ready sale; standard size and
shape used by creameries; wrapped in
paraffin paper.
Color-15 per cent. Uniform through
out, not too high or too low; free from
specks, notifies or streaks.
Body--25 per cent. Firm, waxy, tex
ture; perfect grain as indicated by
Jagged edge when broken; brine clear
and not too plentiful.
Salt--10 per cent. Proper amount
worked in thoroughly; not gritty.
Flavor and odor-45 per cent Agree.
able; not rancid or cheesy, but having
proper acidity; pleasing aroma
Condensed directions for making
good farm butter include:

and mounted figures.

nearby towns will swell the chorus.
The pageant will be given out of

TO STOP GROWTH
OF CALF HORNS

Preventing the growth of horns by
use of caustic should not stunt a
calf. Use stick of caustic potash or
soda. Wrap one end with thick pa
per to protect the hand. Then damp
en- the skin over the horn buttons be-
fore the calf Is a week old after
smearing lard or vaseline on the skin
not to be treated Then rub with the
caustic until the skin becomes white
and ready to bleed. This will prevent
the horns from developing and there
is no need of burning the skin other
than that over the horn buttons
When little "scurs" grow, that is
proof that the cauterization was not
properly done

RULES FOB PREVENTING
FIRE IN GRAIN FIELDS

keep your machinery in repair,
we'll fabricated and provided with an
air clarifier and good spark ar
roster. Hot boxes and hot carbon
cause 30 per cent OF grain fires.
always have at hand on the har-
vester at least two good chemical
fire extinguishers. They keep little
fires from growing up.
3.-Don't smoke in the fields
4.-Break up big fields by cutting
hay strips at intervals while grain is
green. These give you a chance to
fight and confine fire to small area.
5.-Plow several burrows around
your grain field as fire break. Your
neighbor may not be SO careful as
you are.
6.-Help organize your community
and install fire-fighting equipment
at convenient points. After fire
starts it's too late.
