Salting• in the churn is coming largely into vogue, and we recons. tnend it very strongly. as the best • method of salting butter, for the rea- son that we can have our butter free from specks and streaks with the least possible amount of working. If this method is to be followed, a churn without dasher should be used and the water for the last washing should be cold enough to harden the butter granules, so that they will not easily mass together while the churn is being revolved after the salt has been added. This is the main point in salting -in the churn, and must he carefully guarded to insure good results. in open crocks or pails in cellars, After thewashing is done ]et the pantries, or any other place where 1 butter drain for 'fifteen minutes; then the air is not pure, nor where the salt with one and one -eight to one temperature is above sixty degrees, and one-quarter ounces to the pound as is is sure to sour and will often be I as considerable of the salt is carried In churning condition berate it is off with the water left in the butter; wanted.

Now let it stand in the teen `1iours before churning, if the cream .,vas been kept sweet up to this time: The tirst thing to be done is to raise the temperature up to a point at which the acid will begin to devel- op; and, and where no starter is Used this will likely be about sixty- five degrees. This is easily done by Placing the can into a tub sof warm Water at ninety or a hundred degrees and stirring constantly until sixty - live degrees is reached. Care should be taken in warms weather that it does not go much above this temper- for a pig until it is finally put up to ature. if it does, the cream is liable • fatten, and then the only thing to do to become too sour or over -ripe before is to stuff it full of grain.

Re- member that moderation in all things is advisable, and while, undoubtedly, a sew with ten pigs four or five weeks old will stand a large supply of food, she should be brought up to it gradually, and nothing is more to be guarded against than overfeeding for the first few days after farrowing, or feeding en too rich foods, The sow's diet should be cooling and slightly laxative, and should contain a fair proportions of albuminoids and phosphates. Such foods as we have already mentioned may be given freely after the first week, along with an allowance of green food if possible, such as clover, either green, or cut and steamed, or dampened. • For the first week we would advise feeding principally on a slop made of shorts and bran mixed with skins. -milk and water, and fed lukewarm, very little food being necessary during the first twenty-four stars, though care should be taken to see that the sow has plenty of fresh water to drink,— Farming. 'What We Inherit We are not to blame for. We cannot be held responsible for the dispositions and tendencies which we derive from our ancestors, ndr are we responsible for the germs of disease which may manifest themselves in our blood as a heritage from former generations. But we are responsible if we allow these germs to develop into serious disease which will impair our usefulness and destroy our happiness.

The cream should always be strained into the churn to break up all pieces of crud. The time of churning will vary with the temperature of the cream, the breed of cows, and the time they have been giving milk. thele again thirty-six days afterwards he found that they weighed an aver- age of 18.3 lbs. per head, that is an increase of 14.55 lbs, each, or a daily average increase of 0.4 lbs. each, all it must be on a sow to provide for her numerous family l We also find that it has been proved by analysis that the milk of a sow is rich in casein, or nitrogenous /natter.

A SIMPLE CURE. I have managed, my farm, stocked mostly with cows, for 30 years, and have kept a good account of 1ny in- come and rind that I got fit an hour for good strong labor after paying 0 per cent, on capital and keeping up repairs. If any farmer can bent that we would like to hear front him, writes a subscriber. Now, what do we learn from this plan's experience? First, we see proof that there is money in farming. Next we leant to look at our trade from a more businesslike standpoint than the average farmer does, that is keeping account of profit and loss and considering percentage on capital. Subscriber sets dairymen an example worthy of imitation, es- pecially in regard to keeping books. Many have two or more money crops; some probably have several. If no accounts are kept, how is it known which are paying? '1'11e average far- mer simply knows that be started the year with sa much and had a certain amount at the end of the year, The ideal system of keeping books on the farm is to keep an account. with each field, animal or department; the same as if it were a man leaking out the account in the same manner,, but inserting in the place of the man's name that of the field, animal or de- partment. Charge .to a certain field all work expended on it, all fertilizer, seed, etc,; then give it credit for what it produces and you will quickly see whether there be profit or loss, and which crop gives greatest profit on same amount of land. In this way a gran will soon be able to discard those crops which are unprofitable, or which cannot be raised at only a small profit and in place of them increase those which pay better. On the home farm last year a capital of about $50 Josephine Street invested in poultry paid 50 per cent. profit after all expenses of feed and labor, etc. This could hardly compare with subscriber's record, as it is only on a small scale and but for one year. But by having kept account we know that this part of the farm is paying and should be increased in preference to some other things which may not be paying so well. Subscriber's example is surely encouraging. To know that such a profit has been made for a series 'of years should awaken a realization of the possibili- ties before us and encourage the adoption of more systeulatie plans, to study our business carefully and to realize what a wide field of action is open before us when we enter the profession of agriculture, and when we realize this, we should go ahead and solve the problems which are now holding us back. As a sure cure for headache, whether caused by liver, stomach. kiduey or nerve trouble, Burdock Blood Bitters is the most effective medicine known. 1, re- moves the rause of headache by restor- ing all the organs of the system to pro- per action and health. Doubts dis- appear in view of proofs like this : "In the spring of 1891 1 got a bottle of B. 13. B. for my mother who had been troubled for twenty-five years with sick headache. I got it from Mr. W. Paxton Baird, of Woodstock, N. B., who gave me two other medicines to take home 'ted let my mother taste her choice. For- tunately she chose the Burdock Blood Bitters. and 1 returned the other bottles. Shin used it for three months, and has had no headache since. We are sure that it was B. B. B. cured her, as she took no other medicine. .1. A.. Gains, Iiartford, N. B. Nov., 1805. Home Grown Huckleberries. There are few persons who do not like huckleberries ; they command a ready sale at a profitable price in the markets, and yet not many persons realize that they can lee easily grown in gardens along with other small fruits. Joseph Meehan, than whom there is no better garden authority in America, says that all the varieties offered in the market are of easy cul- tivation. On two occasions, desiring to form a small plantation of then in a garden, he obtained 100 plants from the woods; these plants were about three feet high, and before being set in the garden were cut down to eigh- teen inches. It is hard to get much root to a bush of thio kind from the woods; for all this, not one plant died en either occasion, Of these plants there were some /lice bushy ones by fall, and all of thein made more Or less growth the salve season. There was no fruit the first season, but the, xtear theybore some and ever year since fruit has been. gathered from them. In their wild state these • nts are often found in iitte dry q places, From this it will be seen that an ordinary garden shottld suit them, and it does.—Farnt News.
