:DUTCH GARDEN. Bed" and Some of the tBlossoms In It. tch garden is to be filled with or the most part-at ledst this ny good annuals that we .hitherto had room for are to ere. One of the four square, ceer beds is to be devoted to and yellow flowers. jIn this let uld like to describe some an lch are not quite so common one generally sees in flower ,WIellow bed is to have an edging ehscholtzia .or California poppy. a- very common annual, to be tit has many merits which - It. for a somewhat dry and ot.. obtain the best plants t e thex sbould be sown as early as asible. Perhaps It is not generally ow-a that there are several species of schscholtzim all well worth planting. Besidei Eschscholtzia californica there Y. eocea,2 which is, I believe, a dis tinct species. Its variety called Man Aarin Is a very fine kind, forming a compact plant. which bears rich, red , n ge~owers-in profusion. Then ble forms of Esch rcAh exceeding attractive. Another varityled a Blush 'is a good sort and has arg saucer shaped blooms which are sivery-hite, tinged outside with rose. Eschischoltzia revel in hot sunshine and bloom 'continudusly from July until -Iteitbe fall. Sore. lantanas of cream, orange and yellow shades are under way 'r yellow bed. Lantanas are very 4sef unfor the fall garden and are easi ,)sraised from .seed or cuttings. They can be started in February under glass, ~~~i~terd out in warm weather, lifted in the fall and kept during the winter in the greenhouse. They are noteworthy from the 'fact that they bloom nine months of the year. The dwarf sorts are the ones we prefer for this bed. The tall ones are effective when grown as single specimens, making good sized bushes, witli showy flowers of many odd hues. The objection to the dwarf species known as Latana sellowiana is the unpleasant smell of its pretty. flowers.-Gardening. S EBERRY BUSH. The New,% o and Where o Cut. Gooseberry fruit is produced from lateral buds on one-year-old wood and. also on short spurs on wood two or more years old. The same spur may produce fruit for three or four years if the strength of the bush is maintained by proper fertilizing and pruning. The first two crops from a given spur are, however, usually the best. agooseberry bush each season appears as new branches arising from buds on the previous year's growth of the r GOOsEBERRBY BUSH. - Before and after pruning.] canes already present or as new shoots arising from the crown of the bush. r The new branches on the old canes will roduce fruit from their lateral "6tlics e .-ear following the one in which they develop. The new shoots foom. thd crown will become fruiting canes :when two years old if allowed Sto grow. The new branches on a com y aratively young cane are much stron ger than those on an old cane. 4s soon - - as a cane shows signs of weakening It should be removed and a new shoot left to develop into a cane to take its place. If the bush is in e-normal condi tior, he number of young shoots left should be .-ust equal to the number of olid canes removed. A symmetrically pruned gooseberry bush-will consist of from six to a doz en or so canes of 'all ages from one to about five years, and there will be ap proximately an equal number of canes of each age. in addition to the cutting away of old canes and superfluous young shpots the young wood on the old canes iCthat are left is thinned out and headed in. The ~branches which are left are shortened back to from eight to twelve inches. A new shoot whieh is to be left to develop into a cane should be head ed back to a height of from sixteen to twenty inches, says an American Agri culturist writer, whose plan of pruning is given above.

Many fields that are worn out and unproductive may be largely restored by a little scientific plowing. Some of our farmer friends will smile aloud at the idea of scientific faring, and yet it may be made a scienstific process and add onet-more proof value of sie ' farming. Plows are m za bor the special purpose of mee ning the soil. And deepening: the soil and exposing more of it to the influence of air and water make fer tilizing elements available that were totally useless before. The land may be subsoiled or simply turned up from a greater depth than before, and this subsoil, containing large amounts of fertility, will become a rich foraging ground for the feeding rootssof plants. It is easily possible to exhaust the up per five Inches of surface soil, so that it will produce but little more than nothing. If a little of tig: subsoil. is turned up each year, tMr necessity for purchasing fertilizr will disappear. Therefore the 1,reparation of the soil is of greate-r importance than the after culjyti6n, because the maximum erops cannot be grown without proper preparation, and no amount 'of culti vation c-an make up for this error. I Intensive Cotton Growing. Our cotton growers should adopt the plan of growing twenty bales on twen ty acres instead of twenty bales on forty-five acres as heretofore. Better preparation, better seed and better cultivation will do it, for it has done it many times. And then the war with, the boll weevil will be reduced to prac tical limits; also this plan~ will leave more acres for grain and forage plants. True, we have had so much rain that fall and winter plowing has been prac tically prohibited, but the ground will be dry enough to plow after awhile, and then the work should be pushed if it requires fourteen hours' work per day, for the walking delegate does not visit the rural districts.-Farm and Ranch. Butter Without Churning. Butter without churning. They call-It selective absorption. Four thicknesses of Turkish toweling are first put into a shallow pan,. over which and formed to shape of pan and to fit inside~ of it snugly down on the absorbing toweL, is a white, heavy blotting paper.' Ifito the paper pan the cream is poured axnd se lective absorption does the rest. The water, casein and salts held in solution in the cream are absorbed by the paper and passed through into the ~to-wel. The butter fat not being in solution, but fat ty and globular, cannot follow into the blotter and remains on top to be rolled off in a sheet of butter paste at the will of the operator, who can ~now work in the salt and form and fashion to his will. Churned butter is carefully han dled not to destroy the grain either in churning or working, but from this but ter paste of the new process the grain develops as the butter is worked. The absorption is completed insabout thirty minutes and it is claimed for the meth od that all the butter fat to the utter most is recovered from the blotter, which it has not been found possible to do heretofore with the-6churn. The but termnilk is. of .course in.. tue-l tter and absorbing towel and can be expressedI from the towel by an ordinatry- clothes wrnger, or if one is in a hury'for a drink of it he may chew the rag.-Cor.

URE MAL -E TRUE ELIXIR OF A Good Thing For Small Farmers Here is one thing that certainly do( suit the small farmer, says Dr. Hun utt in.Southern Cultivator. He of v others can and should raise hogs fi home use If not for sale. But why ni for sale? He must do something 1 make a living. Raising hogs is easiq and cheaper than raising cotton, at the rftA In the 1)u L and larger. Very often after a hard year's wol you have nothing left when you s( yoir cotton crop. It has cost all brings to raise it. This is not true hogs. They can be raised very cheap and sell for a good profit. The man who. raises hogs is rare if ever found in debt. The man small means who raises cotton, wil meat bought on credit, is almost ways in debt? Try hog raising and see how yt come out. Raw Land andl Cotton. Farmers who are opening up ra land and intend to plant cotton wou do well to plant the staple on su< land. - Otherwise It should be grou where no cotton was planted last ye and as far away from last year's cott< land' as possible. T1'here are two more reasons for this course. Cotton better adapted for raw land than. co: or grain of any kind; also by doing the crop will be upon land not alrea< infested with boll weevils.-Farm ai Ranch. N ews and N'otes. Professor Voorhees of the New Je sey exderiment station says that their tests Ayrshires stand as high.; any breed for milk production.

Y. ____ I; >r At thgb,,.eent meeting of the New Tork tate Dairymen's association Mr. H. E. Cook of Denmark, N. Y.. read a paper on "The Development of Fancy Milk Products." it Mr. Cook said that in the past decade a rapid development has taken place In y fancy cheese and proprietary foods made from milk. The state of Wiscon y sin leads today, with three-fifths of the total output of fancy cheese. Nev h York Is second, with one-third. The center of the fancy cheese Industry is. in Greene county, Wis., where the ipeo Upie are mostly Swiss. The fancy cheeses are In growing demand, and the Indus try should receive more attention. This brand of Swiss cheese comes Wwithin the limit of ordinary expendi dtures for cheddar cheese and therefore hwithin the means of many factories. 'The cheese is made in kettles now tr manufactured with steam connection. n The curd is soaked at a high tempera r'ure, and a large waste of fat takes 15 place, which is saved in the better 'equipped factories by passing the whey 0 through a separator, or It is hand. Ly skimmed. The cheese requires from d seventy-five to a hundred days for cur ing. First It is put in a cellar with .a temperature of G5 to 70..degrees, next in a temperature of 630 to 65 degrees and finally in a temperature not above i60 degrees. It Is a sweet milk produc stion, yet there are certain ferments ap -parently demanded for developing its Lflavor and especially the "eyes," for dwhich It is noted. ee I am of the opinion that bacteriolog Sical investIgation Is needed to control these ferments not unlike the control swe now exercise in cheddar cheese. ee There is a group of German cheeses i that have as a basis of manufacture the same general principles. These -' cheeses are highly 'prized by our for le eign population. Oregon'u Cheese. "Oregon is justly proud of its cheese. which enjoys a well earned and envia s ble reputation on the Pacific coast. It e had quite a number of factories In op t eration in 1899, and yet in that year Li the value of the condensed milk pro Puduced by'the one factory In the state of Washington exceeded the value of -all the cheese produced in Oregon.
