AGRICULTURAL TOPICS OF IVTERKST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. TESTTXO milk FOH BrTTEK. ‘ A eufficiently accurate test of the butter value of any cow’s milk may be made with a small churn if the milk is left for thirty-six hours for the cream to separate in a cool place, where it will not sour in that time. A chemi cal test may be made by putting some milk, accurately measured, as aoon as it is brought in from the cow and has been well stirred,'in a measuring glass graduated accurately. Half the quan tity of either is added and well shaken with the milk, the mixture being set quietly for the fats dissolved bv the ether to rise. W hen this is done the ether solution of the fat is poured off into a small evaporating dish, set over a spirit lamp. When the ether is all evaporated the fat left is measured. The most practical test is made by churning the milk of the cow in a email churn and weighing the butter made. As this is all that can be got from the cow’s milk it is her actual butter value, for what is lost in this Vay^is of no account any way. Each cow s milk should be churned by measure exactly, then the same quan tities mixed, and the results compared, which will be a business certainty. The effects of the mixing of the milks are always noticeable in the increase of butter made by reason of one milk helping to collect the butter of others. —American Farmer. A NESTING AND FEEDING DEVICE. There are many reasons why it is preferable to do as much of the work of caring for fowls outside the poultry quarters as possible. There is thus less disturbing of the fowls, which, in FOR FEEDING. the case of nervous breede, such as Leghorns, Spanish, Minorca?, etc., is highly desirable, and in prrticular there is much less soiling of the clothes and shoes. Three devices are shown herewith that permit the gather- j?OB watering fowls. ing of eggs from 1 ontside the hen house, and the feeding and watering of the fowls, also from the outside. These devices can be used iu summer in the case of houses that stand apart by themselves, cutting into the outer wall for this purpose, but they are especially adapted for use where the NESTING DEVICE. poultry are kept in a room partitioned off from another room. The dividing partition can then be cut into. Where the poultry house stands by itself alone, however, a little hall can be built just inside tho door from which these devices can bo operated. The devices themselves are so plainly shown in the cuts that detailed de scription is unnecessary.—New 1'ork Tribune. than those in the middle. One side of the stack must not extend farther out than the other or it will lean when finished or will settle to one side and most surely take water if tkere is much rain. The top of the stack need not run to a very high point Flat tops are of i course to be avoided, bat draw in gradually and do not run nptoo high. It is best to use a fork in stacking, as the operator can ftien avoid stepping on tho two outer rows ot buudles, and they will settle most in tho end. The centre of the stack will also be firmer and will settle least. The work will ! not be so difficult as when the operator uses his hands simply.—American Agriculturist. now TO SALT BETTER. W. C. Bockwood, of Genesee Coun ty, Michigan, says: Perhaps every one who has ever made butter has been troubled with this at some time. The cause of the mottled condition which is frequently seen in butter is a disputed one, yet it is simple enough, after all. As we all know, salt affects the color of butter. All butter takes ou a deeper hue when it has been salted a few hours. Take a lot of butter from , the churn in a mass, salt it in streaks by cutting down through it with tho ladle and scattering salt freely where the ladle went, let it stand half a day before working and you will see a good illustration of mottled butter. In a few words, the explanation is this: Mottled butter is caused by uneven distribution of salt; nothing more nor less. To avoid this the following plan is an excellent one, and one which is fol lowed by many of our best butter makers to-day. Leave the butter in granules, wash with water cold enough to prevent adhesion, drain and salt while still in the churn, then revolve the churn or tip from side to side un til the butter globules mass somewhat and the salt is evenly distribnted. By tipping the churn one way, then the other, the salt may be very evenly sprinkled on, or a wooden fork of suitable size may be used to stir it up, adding only a portion of the salt at a time. The salt melts or dissolves the mo ment, it touches the grains of butter and each graia is instautly coated with brine. Then, when the butter has drained a few minutes, remove it to the worker, press until moderately dry, and pack away. No further work ing is necessary, aud there will be no trace of streaks or a mottled condition to be found. Salting in the churn is snre to be a favorite method with those who try it. The amount of butter can be very closely estimated, as tho amount from c. given quantity of cream does not vary very materially from time to time. Nor is it essential to weigh out the salt each time. Measure out a pound of salt; usually a full pint of sait will weigh a pound, and it is more quickly measured thau weighed each time. Some adhere very tenaciously to the old way of twice working their butter, but once is a great plenty. If the salt is evenly distributed and the ex cess of moisture pressed out, that is sufficient and can as well be done at one operation as at two. POtTLTRV NOTES. Burn a pound of sulphur in each pen the first day of the month so you will not forget it. It will destroy the germs of disease and kill myriads of insects. Clean np the droppings every morn- ing. Kerosene the roosts and nest boxes once a week. Change the litter in the nest boxes every week or two, and sprinkle libel- ally with insect powder. Whitewash the inside of the hen houses, if you have not already done so this spring. Scald the drinking vessels once a week. The above advice has been re peated time and again in these col umns ; but iu no time of the year is such work more necessary than the present—the time when the lice come out from their dull, lazy life to one of general activity. Select from your young stock what you want to keep over for breeding. This is one of the best months for caponizing the young cockerels. Fanciers take advantage of this month in culling out the undesirable birds, giving more room to the better THE PROPER STACKING OF GRAIN. Too great care can not be taken to have tho stack so built as to turn the water from rainfall. In a wet season onlv the most carefully constructed stac!; will escape without damage. One of the main points is to have tho stack high in the centre and as soUd as possilde at the bottom. Some make the mistake of piling the loose grain in the bottom of the stack. This will settle more rapidly than the outer layert and form a depression. The bundles will slant inward and the st- ck will take water. Every bundle must slant gradually outward, es pecially in the upper part of the stack. At the point where the stack begins to be taken in, an extra circle of bundles should be laid so as to make the stack higher in the centre than on the out- Bide. The mistake is often made of keep ing the centre too high in the lower half of the stack. When the upper half vs reached there will be great danger of the fidos slipping out. The centre is then permitted to become more flat :.s the top is reached. The bottom of the stack should be pfr- fectly circular, otherwise a good stack cannot be maae. As a r^le the stack should be smaller at the base than the middle This will have the effect of oauslr g the outer bundles to p\ant downward, bs thev will settle faster ones. Set all the hens you have, especially on eggs from such ns Leghorns, Mi- norcae, Spanish, Andalusians, Ham- burgs, Anconns and others of the lighter breeds, if you want to get out winter layers. It is also a good time to set eggs from the heavier breeds for fall chick ens for table use, or even for late broilers. Ship all the broilers yon have this month. The quotations are still good. This is a good dnek month. The prices are still tempting. Ship all you can get ready. Remember that one of the secrets of success in duck farming is to market them when ten weeks of age. After that they will grow more to bone and mnscle and gain nothing in flesh. If you have been feeding corn in the ration, now is the time to stop, for it is too heating. If cornmeal, mid dlings, meat, boiled potatoes and other fattening food have been fed, reduce the quantity one-half. Re member that we are entering the hot period of the year, and anything that has a tendency to produce heat or fat should bo discarded. Of course, this does not apply to poultry you are fat tening for market.—Farm Poultry. A newspaper exhibition is being or* ganizef at Sao Paulo, BraziL BILL ARP’S LETTER. THE SAGE OK BARTOW TAKES A LIVELY INTEREST IN POLITICS. , Says Bryan Must be Elected or Ha Will Stop Talking. How funny and fantastic is politics. Only a few years ago the alliance was iu lull blast aud had its star chamber with its signs and grips and pass-word* and no lawyer or doctor or preacher need apply. It rolled into office a few leaders :md schemers and then went into a state of innocuous desue tude, as Mr. Cleveland would say. But it dideut stay dead. Iu its dying agonies it gives birth to a child that had more sense than its daddy and they named it populist or the people’s party and invited us all in. The star chamber was abolished. The goat was dehorned and turned out to grass. The big warehouse scheme was abandoned. The railroads and telegraphs were al lowed to rnn on awhile longer on their own hook, bat they held on to the free silver plank with a stubbornness that was born of desperation. By and by the sonthern and western democrats began to cry out for free silver and they cried so lond and so strong that they carried Chicago by storm and took the fort like a cyclone had struck it. Then came the populists at St. Louis and with great good sense and liberality said what is tho difference between us; let ns be brethren. Tou have stolen onr platform, but we can all stand on it. Yon take the head and we will take the tail aud together we will bnry these goldbugs so deep the hand of resurrec tion will never reach them. But the democrats had already attached a tail of their own and now the head hae two tails that are wagged by different par ties and it’s very annoying, for there is no law or constitution that allowe but oue. And there is the republican party, and before long there will be a goldbug democratic party, and so if this tail question is not settled the populists will put up an electoral ticket of their own with Bryau and Watson electors and it will take four electoral tickets to settle the great question of the next president and vice president. That means McKinley and Hobart, it seems to me, for the re publicans always stick to their party. But I reckon the general managers know mors about this tbau I do and will arrange about the details. I hope so, for if Bryan is not elected I shall do like Evan Howell said, “I will take to the woods," or I will do like lago said, “I will never speak word more;” that is to say, a political word. When the late war began I heard e. preacher say in the pulpit that if the Lord suf fered the yankees to defeat us he would never again believe in a special providence. I don’t say that, hut I have a superstitious faith in Brytan’a election and shall go to bed sick ft he is not. I believe he waa raiaed purify aud reform national polit But I waa ruminating about populists in our state affairs. It been so very Jong aince Tom sold his law books and burnt the behind him because hie party lawyers were not fltten to ho] or go to heaven and were not fl get fitten. Bnt now Tom hae up Seab Wright, a lawyer i practice, and ia grooming him fo governor’s chair. Beside* that, has the misfortnne of being rich, which was another unpardonable sin. But now Seab dident have to sell his law books like au idiot, nor take his wife's money oat of a national bank. Tha fan of the whole business is that the populists took a democrat for presi dent and now have conscripted a demo crat for governor. Seab Wright never joined them until after he was nomi nated, in fact, I don’t know whether he has joined them yet or not, nor how long he will work in the harness. For several years he basent been considered a subdued working demo crat. He wnsent well broke aud bad to be watched, for sometimes he bucked like a broncho. But this is in Tbs law makers will never prohibit them. On the contrary, the tendency of legislation ia to increase their pay and their privileges. The last con- gresa voted a clerk to every member. This thing of picking and hawking at the railroads has got to bo a chestnut anyhow aud a healthy reaction has set in. If the rail road commission doesent understand railroading in all its complicated details Mr. Thomas docs, aud so does my friend Joe M. Browu. Hie late reply to Mr. Crenshaw waa not only admira ble, but unanswerable. I heartily en joyed it, aud so did all impartial men. Tou can’t pick up a politician out of the woods aud make a good railroad commissioner out of him. It takes it long railroad education to fit a man for that office. But why should Scab Wright chal lenge Governor Atkinson, or vice versa? What issues are there between them? Upon what great principles do they differ? Atkinson has made a good governor; so will Seab if elected; so wonld a thousand others I could name, one of whom I am which, and so I am contented. Let the prooes- ■ion proceed.—Bill Arp, in Atlauta Constitution. BABY BETROTHAL. his favor, for I never admire a demo crat who would go it blind and never kick at the pop of the party whip. Statehouse rings and courthouse rings lave sometimes to be broken up and t takes a man of nerve to do it. But it is funny to see the populists hunting irouud in the bushes for a standard .hearer. And they found a good one. [ like Seab—everybody does. He was raised in my town and went to school vith my boys and wanted to marry in to mj inmuy eonuectiou aim caii me uncle, and 8eab says everybody was willing but the girl, and she made a mistake aud said no when she meant yes, but he dideut know it at the time and he lost her. But he called me Unele Bill the other day to show his affection. He dosent want this mentioned at all, for such things sometimes interfere with domestic felicity. Seab is smart, bright, handsome, eloquent—another boy orator who will make the ‘‘welcome ring,” as a popu list said in the convention. They wanted him bad or they wonidn’t have let him bring his plank in with him. Seab carries that prohibition plank nnder his arm and when he stops to rest he lays it down and atands on it. Another catching plank is the promise to the school teachers. There are now over 6,000 of them and they want their money, and ought to have it promptly, whether it is in the treas ury or not. If every teacher can con trol his own vote aud one other that will make 10,000 or 12,000 votes on that Hue. But the plank against railroad passes is a bad one. Every law-maker and public official likes to have a free pass. It magnifies a man’s importance and flatters his epneeit and rides eo easy. Three*Year-Old Boy and Two-Y'car- Old Girl Muted for Life. They do all sorts of queer things tn Indiana, Just as queer as In any other patch of country In the world. And es pecially are the Hooelers eccentric In the matter of marriages. The latest evidence of this Hoosler matrimonial peculiarity comes from St. Croix. Ind. There has just been performed there an ■credible sort of ceremony, “the kind of thing you read about In nov els, and never see, except upon the stage." It was the formal betrothal of two babies—the three-yenr-old-sou of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Maxwell and the two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert M. Maas. The ceremony -—§■ ——— THE BETROTHED BABIES. was presided over by the nicest old Maas patriarcr. that could be found, and the parents stood sponsors for the fulfillment of the vow by the bahles. The pictures of the betrothed children are presented herewith—Exchange. Etched tho Wrong Man. A well-known etcher recently set him self the task of etching a portrait pf Andrew Lang, the English poet. He ordered a photograph of his subject from one of the Broadway dealers. When It arrived he made an elaborate etching, of which an art denier bought a few copies. Lang Is a man about 40 years of age, with a long, slender face and a drooping mustache. The etching was of a man nearly 60 years of age, with a round face and full beard. Some one who knew Lang saw the picture, and declared that his friend must have grown that beard very quickly, and If the picture was correct he had become remarkably fat The dealer at once began an investigation, and found that; the photograph importer had sent the etcher a picture of Sir Andrew Long, n prominent Importer of Glasgow, and a Jolly gentleman, who is said to have laughed heartily when he heard of tho mistake. The artist has promised to etch another portrait. Meanwhuo some American bibliophiles have decorated their libraries with pictures of the Scotch Importer, who prefers jollity to ooetry Invented by Women. Celia Thaxter, the poetess, had not aE exalted opinion of the capacities of her sex. She once said: “Women never Invent ed knitting nor any other art.” Yet It 1| an undisputed fact that the first but ton establishment was due to a woman. The machine for making satchel bot tomed paper bags was the invention of a woman, men having tried long and unsuccessfully to produce such an ar ticle. A foundry owner declares that the first stove he ever saw was Invented by a woman, though the patent was taken out by a man, and the original Declaration of Independence was printed by one Katherine Goddard.
