LL CONSUMP TION FIRMNESS IN BUTTER. Can Be Secured by Proper Manipu- lation of Cream Before Churn- ing. Butter makers, on the farm especial- ly, will be more or less worried as the hot weather becomes more pronounced, with a soft and greasy quality of but- ter. A great deal can be done toward maintaining a good firm body in but- ter by a proper manipulation of the tream before churning. If milk is set in shallow pans the milk room should be kept at a temperature as near 60 degrees F. as possible. If the Cooley or Shotgun cans are used they should be kept in water as cold as 45 degrees for twelve hours after milking before skimming. A cool spring or artesian well running into an overflow tank is a splendid place to keep these cans. If such supply of cool running water is not available, a supply of ice is a ne- cessity if nearly all the cream is to be secured. Where the herd is large, how- ever, a separator will be a good invest- ment. After getting the cream from the milk it should be kept as cool as possible until a sufficient quantity is gathered for a churning. This cream should be well stirred or otherwise in- timately mixed several times while it is being gathered. Cream should not be kept at any time during the sum- mer longer than three days from skim- ming until churning, and if milk is sour when skimmed, less than this. Never allow the temperature of the cream to rise above 60 degrees F., and if churn- ed at a temperature low enough that the butter does not come in less than twenty-five minutes the result will be a butter quite firm and solid. Care | should be taken to have the water used in rinsing cool enough so the butter does not become soft and mass to- gether before the salting is accom- plished. Then if the working is done in a cool room a firm and solid butter should be the result, that will with- stand a surprising amount of heat when placed upon the table. Good Milkstool. A very handy and desirable milk- stool is made from one-inch lumber. It keeps the pail out of the dirt and filth and the bucket always on a level. we fo) asco} It prevents spilling the milk. Make it of light material ,and you will have a good one.—Frank H. Madden, in Prac- tical Farner. : Dairy Butter. The question is often asked why the butter made by the private dairyman does not bring as much as that of a good creamery. It often does bring as good a price, and even a better one, but private dairy butter of this class rarely goes on to the general market, and consequently secures no regular quotations. As a matter of possibility the private dairyman can make better butter than the creamery. The milk is all from a single herd. The care of both the her! and the milk from the time it is drawn untii the butter is packed is entirely within the control of a single person. He is responsible for nobody’s mistakes or mismanage- ment except his own. If he avoids making mistakes and permits himself to be guilty of no mismanagement, the butter product ought to be “gilt-edged.” ‘The creamery man, on the other hand, receives either milk or cream from a hundred different sources, perhaps. Errors of management on any one of the farms from which the material comes may, and often do, in some way affect the entire batch of butter of that day’s make. The dairyman must not only see that his own work is done well, but he is often obliged to cure, so far as they are curable, the errors of others. That he makes a product of high average quality is due to the use of good appliances and goed methods; but the private dairy- man might use as good appliances and as good methods from start to finish, and sometimes he does; when he does, he hardly ever sells his pro- duct on the general market, but as a rule has a private clientage of his own that is glad to take all he can make at better prices than those prevailing at Elgin. When he does not, his but- ter goes in as “store butter” at much less than creamery prices, and his work is a constant source of injury to the reputation of the private dairy. -Homestead. Oleomargarine Versus Butter. These are some figures given out by the Produce Exchange of Chicago: * In 1894, in the United States, there were manufactured 70,000,000 pounds of oleomargarine, equal to the product of 500,000 cows, of which in Illinois there were made about 60,000,000 pounds, equal to the product of 450,000 cows. * During the above period the agricult- ural producer for the raw material en- tering into a pound of butter received 16 cents; while under the same condi- tion for the raw material entering into a pound of oleomargarine he received 8 cents. This difference represents a loss of 13 cents on every pound of oleo sold and consumed as butter—over $&,- 000,000 in the United States and $7,- 500,000 in THinois. i It is a conservative estimate that 80 to 95 per cent of the oleo consumed is conser for and at the price of but- er. yj Every pound of oleo thus consumed takes the place of and destroys the sale of a pound of butter. . It 1s further true that it is the yellow color artificailly given to oleo that en- ables it to be sold and consumed as butter at the price of butter. In other words, it is the means where- by the fraud is committed and the public deceived. | ‘rhe consumer is thus detrasded and cheated—but everybody is a consum- er, therefore, in this connection, the terms consumer and the public are one and the same thing. But legislation seeking to protect the public from fraud is not class legisla- tion; and it is further true that legisla- tion against fraud is not class legisla- tion.—Market Basket. Over 500 Pounds of Butter Per Cow. My cows averaged 275 pourds of but- ter each in the year 1891; the next year, 350 pounds; in ‘93 I made 397 pounds, and last year averaged 521 pounds of butter per head for nine cows. My dairy was begun in 1884, with a three-quarter-blood Jersey cow bred to a thoroughbred bull, and f raised the heifers until ’91. That year I began feeding part of the milk back to the cows, with a small grain ration, and sowed corn in its season. This worked so well that the next year I fed all the milk back to the cows except in June, when no grain or milk was fed, and the grain ration was increased over the previous year and the fodder was from corn planted in hills instead of sowed. In 1893 the feed was the same, through June and all, but grain was increased. The first three years | some of the stock were heifers; the fourth year I sold the young cows and bought the best cows I could get, in- creasing my dairy to nine cows. The grain ration was again increased. In the fore part of the season, when the feed in the pasture was good, the cows were yarded at noon, kept until milk- ing time, fed, and then allowed to feed about an hour and then put in the yard until morning. The grain was corn meal, linseed meal and wheat bran.— G. H. Cornish. Treat a Calf Like a Cow. Until this summer we always turned our calves in the orchard just as soon as the feed was good and weather warm, and gave them their ration of milk and oil meal there. Although | they had shade and water, and not- withstanding the fact that as soon as the pasture began to fail we fed them green corn, they hardly ever did much more than to hold their own during dog days and fly time. We were never satisfied with the growth. This year they were turned into the pasture with the cows and every night and morn- ing have been put into the stable, the same as the cows, when they were fed their milk. Since fly time they have been left in the stable during the day and turned out nights and have been fed forage and watered the same as the cows. There is a marked improve- ment in their growth over former years. As Goy. Hoard says, they look as if the skim milk had done them Some good. Hereafter the calves will be treated the same as the cows—pro- tected from all inclement weather and from the scorching sun, and last, but ee least, from the flies—Colon ©. Lil e. Milking Short-Horns, We observe some criticism of the rules recently adopted by the Short- horn Association for the registry of milking strains of that breed. The tendency of the criticism is that a peund of butter a day for seven days is a very low amount to entitle a cow to registry as a milk cow. As a finality this is probably true, but this performance is not intended as a final- ity. Moreover, a pound of butter a is not, after all, a thing to be de- spised. At the Columbian Exposition in the ninety-day test the twenty-five Jerseys averaged a pound and nine- tenths of butter a day, and in the thirty-day test fifteen Jerseys averaged 1.86 pounds per day, or were credited with that amount, the yield of butter fat being one-sixth less that the quan- tity stated. It must be remembered, however, that these were the very choicest animals that could be gather- ed together from a breed that has been long established as a butter-producing breed. A pound a day for the Short- horns will do very well to start with, —Homestead. Filled Cheese. Filled cheese is made of foreign fats or oils and skim milk, the product so | closely resembling honest cheese at first as to deceive all but experts. By the time it reaches the consumer filled cheese is of poor quality and unsatis- factory. This spurious product has greatly injured the Cheddar cheese industry of this country and has done vast harm in foreign markets. If not checked immediately, hundreds of cheese factories will be forced to change to creameries, thus abnormally increasing the butter output. There is now before congress a bill to license filled cheese factories and tax each pound ¢f filled cheese produced and it has passed the house but the filled cheese men are making a strong fight against it in the senate committee. Tainted Milk, The causes of tainted milk are thus summarized by Dr. Gerber, the Swiss scientist: Poor fodder; poor or dirty water, used for watering the cows or for washing the cans; foul air in the cow stable; lack of cleanliness in milk- ing; keeping the milk too long in too warm and poorly ventilated places; neglecting to cool the milk quickly after milking; lack of cleanliness in the care of milk; poor transportation facilities; sick cows, and cows being in heat. Dairy Notes, The rains and the growing grass are favorable to the dairyman, at all events, for they are helps to the cheap production of butter that row needs to be produced cheaply. Do not conclude that because butter is cheaper than it has been for a long time that it can now be produced only ataloss. Count the actual cost of pro- ducing milk and butter and see if any other farm industry pays better, or even as well. A correspondent notes that he often gives a whole egg, shell and all to a young calf that seems to be a little “off,” and always with good results. Crush the egg in the calf’s mouth and hold it shut, the head up, until the egg is swallowed. Lime water is a fine remedy for scours in calves. Lime water is sim- ply the water in which lime is dis- solved. It can be prepared in & bottle and kept an indefinite length of time, always ready for use. A dose for a scouring calf is a tablespoonful; to be repeated after a few hours if the first - | is not effective, ' i | , & TRAVELING NEWSPAPER. “En Route” Is Published Wherever Its Editor Happens te Be. Two Parisian journalists have es- tablished the most original newspaper mm the world, a paper without an edi- torial home or any precise time or day of publication, and which is being is- sued in various parts of the earth. This unique sheet is called “En Route,” and is edited and published wherever its enterprising editors hap- pen to be. They are touring the world on the American globe trotter’s plan of so many minutes to each famous sight. “En Route” is an eight-page paper, and is illustrated. In spite of all ob- stacles in each city in which its editors stop, they manage to get out the paper and make money on it, all within an imeredibly few days. A complete is- sue is published in several languages. The strangest part of it all is that while the two men started out with the idea of having this traveling news- paper pay only a small portion of their expenses, they never anticipated more than that. “En Route” is, from its very novelty, selling like “hot cakes,” and making its proprietors rich in a small way. So far, though but a half dozen numbers or so have been issued, the profits of “En Route” have already paid all the traveling expenses, and a comfortable little balance remains. The two journalists having arrived in a city, one sits down in his hotel and begins to write industriously, de- scribing picturesquely the last stages of their journey and his impressions of the place they have just arrived at; the other goes to find printers, white paper and illustrators. Then the two sally forth together to study the city. They have already posted themselves on the curiosities and history. Be- tween the intervals of sight-seeing there are hours and half-hours of writ- ing, and before one would think it pos- sible that the city could have been ex- plored and written about the last touches are complete, and this number of En Route is on the press. : The last heard of En Route and its editors was that they were in Bom- bay, having just published the Bom- bay edition in three languages—Eng- lish, French and Guzerati. They were about starting for some other land. What land is not known, for the move- ments of En Route’s editors are secret and never told of ahead. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the paper is that it also has the distinction of being the only publica- tion on earth that can calmly ignore the laws of libel. The editors can fearlessly say what they please in its columns, for they know that they will be able to get out of the country be- fore trouble comes. The first issue of the paper was published six or eight months ago on the departure of the editors from Paris. It is their inten- tion to travel around the world.—New York Journal. SHE WAS EXPANSIVE. Seats Were Too Crowded When She Was Fully Rigged Out. He looked troubled as he pushed two matinee, tickets through the box office window. an you give me two more seats next to those?” The ticket-seller hastily looked through a bundle of tickets that he took from one of the little pigeon-holes in front of him and shook his head. “I can give you two seats just ip front of them,’ he said. “Won't do,” replied the man in front of the window. Can you take these back and give me four in the row just ahead?’ “No; there are only two left there, answered the ticket-seller, “I don’t see how I am going to ar- range it,” said the man who wanted the tickets, thoughtfully. “I must bave three seats together.” “Three!” exclaimed the ticket-seller. “I thought you wanted four to gether?’ 3 “I do,” returned the other, “but that isn’t absolutely necesary. If I can get three together I can sit somewhere clse inyself.” “1 should think it would be pleas- anter to divide the party evenly,” sug gested the man in the box office. “It would,” admitted the man outside of it, “but it can't be done. You evi dently don’t understand the case.

If you can give them to me. trot them out; if you can’t, say so; and I’ll send word to her that I am sick and give my tickets to someone else.”-—Philadelphia Times. : Secrets of the Gum Trade.

One of the wealthiest men in Portland, Me., is the possessor of lands, mills and steamboat lines, and hag made nearly all bis fortune in spruce gum. He says many hundred tons of j Spruce gum are consumed in this coun- | try every year. When asked where the market for this gum was found, Mr. Curtis said: “We sell almost en- tirely through the northern states and up and down the Pacifie slope. Prob- ably Michigan, according to its popu- lation, uses more of the gum than any other state in the union.

Lettuces grown in the new way are double the size of those grown in the old way. The idea of irrigating the soil below the surface arose out of an attempt to prevent the rotting of let- tuce by not wetting the foliage. It is cheaper than the old method of surface watering; the soil remains in a better condition, and the plants are less apt to decay.
