R. Ilostotter, illy prap- tics is to have a legal nankeen in the barn Into which the milk le strained ae Yaat es drawn: The strainer is made of the finest wire oloth and un-' der this is a seemed strainer of two thicknesses of cotton flannel °loth, with the nap sides out, If the nap sides fade each other the milk will net run through. When the milk is delivered at the dairy house, the dairyman's part is done and the but- ter -maker's part oommenees. If the milk is mat good and clean the butter- maker can net make good butter. Or course the best of milk can be spoil- ed in the making. I run, the milk through the separator as soon as it reaches the dairy house, so that it falls as little in temperature as pos- sible after being drawn. The cream is run into a can that stands in ice-cold water, so that in a very short time the °ream is cooled to 46 degrees or lower. It is held at that temperature until ready to. ripen for churning. Twenty-four hours before churning the cream is warmed to 70 or 80 degrees, depend- ing an the weather. A sour milk starter which has been started 24 hours before is added to the Dream, one part of the tarter to 20 of the cream. In 24 hours the cream is ready to churn after being cooled to 52 to 56 degrees. The usual time for churning is from three-quarters to one hour. As soon as the buttot is nicoly granulated the churn is stopped and for a churning of 50 lbe of butter a pound of salt is put into the churn. The churn is revolved a few time!. The dissolving of the salt thine the buttermilk and the butter is less apt to run out with it. As soon as the buttermilk is drawn off, water at 58 degrees is pat into the churn, about the same quantity of water as there was butter -milk. The churn is revolved a few times and the wa- ter drawn off. Water at 60 to 62 degrees is then put into the ailuro, about twice the quantity that there was of buttermilk. The churn is re- volved a few times and the water drawn off, which should be almost clear; if not clear, fresh water at the same temperature is added and drawn off. The butter is allowed to drain a Slew. minutes. Salt is then sprinkled aver it in the churn, using one and one-half ounces to one pound of but- ter. The butter is planed on a butter - worker, where ft is worked about one-half enough, If necessary I add more salt. If the granules of butter happen to be a little too fine, it will hold more water and wash out the salt. I really decide ,,by the taste, and salt to suit my customers. I .think the time to stop the butter - worker can only be determined by experience. GLOVER AS A SEED CROP. The value of clover as a fertilizer or for hay is sufficient reason for growing it, writes Perviel• Illinois. But aside from, this it has another value as a seed orop, which is of no inconsiderable amount in the income of the farm. The yiekl of clover seed may be placed at fn'om two .to aim bushels per aore, and the price 013 the farm, three toseven dollars per bus - bel. It will not be far out of the way to place the average yield.. at three bushels per acre, and the price at four dollars ger bushel, thus making $12 pax acre gross blooms fr'Dm the clover field, after having already taken off 1 1-2 to three tons of hay per acre, to say nothing of the hullings, or straw, which has con- siderable feed value. To scour° a seed crop from the com- mon red olover, the first crop should be cut near the middle of Tune, al- though it may bo cut earlier or later with success, if the season Is favor- able. Should there be hbumble sees' nests in the field, toll the boys not to disturb them, as the seed orop will depend largely on their work ter on in fertilization. A bounti- 1 seed orop is cereainly abundant ompensalion fm' a few bee strings. The popular belief tbat the first op does not produce seed is erre- eons. There will only be a small mount of sped, because of the im- ereoot pollination from lack of bees nd other insets so early to the mon. The second crop is out for ed when all the heads have turned own or blacks. Perhaps the old If -rake reaper would be the best pl°meat for.this work, but as that a now gone,with the sickle and the adle, the mower or binder will Have be substituted. It the mower is ed the olovor should be out and keel when damp, to avoid shattering much as possible. Nevertheless, ere will be considerable loss of ed in this way, When the clover stands up well 1 ve +Lound the binder best and the ate of the send ,least.

It was formerly thought necessary to let the °lover lie in the windrow until partially rotted, But with Me - proved plover hullers this is not re, (paired. If the weather la favorable 1 let it dry three or faur days or until it Is in the pondition of over - dry hay, and then stack and hull tree mediately, or cover well and leave several weeks. Treated in this man- ner the straw will be almost as value able as hay and Is relished by stock even better than timothy hay. Bel- ting °laver from bb.e windrow is usu- ally very unsatisfactory work, be- cause of the delay caused by damp- ness from rain or dew. I have known three or Pour days to be spent doing a job that might have been done In one day, had the clover been staoltod. Mammoth clover produces but one erdp fn; a season, consequently it cannot be utilized for both hay and seed. When a seed crop is desired it should be'' mowed on pestered in May, Otherwise it will be difficult to handle on account of its great length. Itis more certain of a good seed orop than the common red, because of the greater number et insects in mid- summer and. therefore the perfect pollination. 7Ylammotb clover is less liable to injury from insects which prey upon the common red and in localities where much injury is done from, this pause, It is preferred. During the summer of '98 the clover seed crop was almost a com- plete failure in my locality. And yet there has seldom been a finer promise for seed than there was in the .growth and development of the second crop daring the summer. The bloom was luxuriant, but the ripened heads re- vealed the foot that there was prac- tically no seed. After some investi- gation nvests gation I arrived at this oonclueion; To gut a good seed crop we meat have a,good honey year. Beeman ba - formed mo that the summer of '98 was a poor one for the honey Drop. To bring honey iota the flower at the period of bloom the weather must be dry and the days and nights hot. Rut during that summer these conditions were reversed and there being 110 honey in the clover blossoms, the bens did not work and consequentlq- pollination did not take plane and no seed formed. QUEEN VICTORIA'S OLD FRIEND. Jaco, 'Lady Churchill, Long la Iter Service Died Just Before tier. Only a short time before her death Queen Victoria last a lady-in-waiting who had been devoted to her Service for forty six years. This was Jana, Lady Churchill, who died the other day at her home near Windsor. Three years ago her health became so feeble that she was compelled to forego her usual trips to the Contin- ent with the Queen and retired to her home at Iver about seven miles from Windsor. There she lived until heir death. The Queen visited her re- gularly when she was in residence at Windsor Castle. Jane Lady Churchill, is the "Jane" and "Jane Chuirchill" referred to so frequently in the Queen's book of me- moirs. She was 74 at the time of her. death but youthful in appearance, and she used to flatter herself on her resemblance to the Princess of Wales. She is said to have possessed amore intimate knowledge of court life than any other woman in England but all she knew, hale diad with her as she Wag one of the moat discreet as well 8.8 one of the most faithful of her Ma- jesty'a ladies-in-waiting. She was tall. and slight her dark hair was etreaked with gray and she was always noted for strictness of ideas on all questions of deportment, She was in a measure the means of, acquainting the Queen with the news of ale that happened in the outside world and frequently acted for her when the sovereign desired to do seine courtesy or Allow some kindness not altogether compatible with her rank. She remained in the Queen'! service until the time of her death although for the provtous two or three years she had been compelled to give up tome of her duties.
