The Right Way of \Vorking Butter. "
The use of above] or box churn is
now. quite general, yet many cling to
the old fashioned dash variety. With'
the latter it is almost invariably cus-
tomary to churn until the butter
comes in a. hard lump or solid mass.
Granular butter'can be made in a dash
churn as wellas in- the most approved
of modern models. The whole secret
lies in stopping the churning'at the
proper time.
particles appear about the size of
wheat kernels. By lifting the butter in
granules from the churn with a ladle
or skimmer, the buttermilk can be eas-
ily washed out in the butter bowl.
'Too much washing undoubtedly in-
jures the flavor. While it is generally
conceded that washing until the water
comes off clear assists in retaining its
quality, if it is not to be consumed in
the month or six weeks first following
its manufacture a middle course is ad-
visable. Wash the butter in two or
three waters, then salt to taste and
work up into shape.
Probably no single feature in con-
nection with the new and improved
methods of butter making which have
been advanced of late years finds so
slow acceptance among farmers’ wives
as that recommending only a. single
working. This is the rut in'which
many of them stick. The fact is one
working, and that at the time of salté
ing, is all that is required. When gath—
ered in granules, only sufficiently to
allow the butter to float upon the sur—
face of the buttermilk—and, by the
way, this is greatly facilitated by add-
ing a handful or more of salt to the
contents of the churn when the sepa-
ration be-ginvs—the washing free from
the milkis an easy task. Every grain
is distinct and separate from every oth-
er grain. The cold water prevents
their adherence and each is individu-
ally brought in contact with the cleans-
ing fluid. ‘Then when drained and
while still in granules, add the salt,
scattering it over the mass and incor-
porating it thoroughly with the ladle.
The action of the salt will be to start
the brine formed by its dissolving.
Drain this off and work exactly as
would be done had the butter been
previously salted. Work until all ex—
cess of moisture is removed, and the
butter is a smooth, waxy mass. One
test of sufficient working is to make a
wafer-like pat with a portion of it, us-
ing the ladle, of course, then lift one
side and fold it together. If it almost
folds over without becoming broken
yet finally does break, it is worked
enough.
Overw-orking butter is injurious, ren—
dering it salvy and spoiling the grain.
Insufficient working leaves an excess
of water incorporated with it and also
leaves the butter mottled and streaked
in appearance after standing a few
hours. The whole operation may as
well be done at once as to let it remain
with the salt. insufficiently blended.
Try the once working plan and you are
sure to like it, especially in very cold
weather.———Mrs. E. R. Wood in Agri-
culturist.
\Vliat to Feed Fowls in “'inter.
We all like a warm breakfast on a
cold morning and farm fowls appreci-
ate one, too. Place clover rowen, cut
to one—qtzarte-r-inch length, in a pail
and pour on sufficient boiling water to
scald it. Let stand for a few minutes,
then add equal parts of corn and oats,
ground together, and wheat bran to
which is added one-sixth part animal
meal. Mix and feed at once. GiVe
plenty of pure water to drink. Be sure
.not to forget the water.
I At noon, scatter a few spoonfuls of '
wheat in the litter, to afford the hens
a little exercise. Gather what eggs
there are, to keep them from freezing.
,Towards night give a feed com-
posed of. four parts. oats and one
part each of wheat and corn.
Scatter in the litter. Gather up
the remainder of eggs and see that
there is plenty of clean water. then
the fowls have gone to roost for the
night, empty out water dish and lock
up the house. The amount of corn
may be increased or diminished ac-
cording to condition of fowl. Small
and active breeds can eat more corn
to advantage than the larger fcwls.
‘Boiled potatoes or other vegetables
may be given frequently to good ad-
vantage. Cabbages‘, beets and turnips -
may be fed without cooking, and will
help to increase the supply of. eggs.
Ground oyster shells should be kept
where the fowls can have access to
them at .all times. .It is well also .3
have a box of gravel or crushed :;. :
within reach.
There are other methods of f P
that give good results, but, cos:

one. With the exception that the:-

A Winter Feed
Warm meshes are desirable for
fowl-s and hogs in winter. To cook the
food with but little labor, take half a
