The brown skin can also be peeled 'off the nut quite easily. ' n=its Storing Butter The freshest possible cream should be used for making butter that is to be stored for any length of time. After churning wash the butter until the water shows not the slightest trace of milky appearance. This is important. Then salt the butter to taste. For house use, make it int() pound prints, wrap each in wax paper, put it in a sterilized jar filled with brine strong enough to float an egg. A weight plate is placed on the butter to keep it under the brine. Or, the butter may be packed direct, ly into the jar, covered with a steril- ized cloth clipped in brine, and dairy salt strewn over the cloth to tine depth of half an inch. Store in a cool cellar. Be sure to work the salt in thee cughly, otherwise it will be streaked with white and will not keep. Also, in packing, be sure to pack tightly, leaving 110 spaces for air to pene- trate. its excreta.

A modified "livers of sulphur" has been developed for the control of mildew, rusts and other leaf spots. It is prepared by mixing• 4 bounds of flowers of sulphur, 5 pounds of pow- dered potash (potassium hydroxide) and 3 1110n05 of powdered resin. To this mix is stirred in 1 pound of fish oil. Then half a pint of water is ad- ded and a voilent chemical reaction occurs. The reaction gives off suf- ficient heat to liquify the mass. While the reaction is taking place the mix is kept stirred in an ,open vessel, and it finally cools to a coarse granular dry powder, the stock spray material.

The dust should 'be implied in the late evening er the early ndrning when the foliage is wet with dew, for an effective coverage will net be secured unless the foliage is damp. In the control of rusts, finely divided flowers of sulphur is a standard remedy. Our investiga- tions of the effectiveness of Oust mixtures show that the efficiency of sulphur as a dust is increased at least two fold by the addition of 1 part pettassium permanganate dust to every 100 parts sulphur. In the preparation of this dust both the sulphur and the permanganate should be in a fine state of division and thoroughly nixed. The so called "wettable" sulphurs are superior to other •brands, due to the fineness of their state of division.

DREAMS tact with the weed, a short clescrip., lien of the plant is here given. • Poison ivy is a climbing or trailing shrub, with broad leavea in clusters of three, aerial roots .and greenish flowers. The berries are white and waxy smooth. All ,parts of the plant even when dried, contain an oil which sdon after touching the skin raises a severe •infilammCttion, and produces an intolerable itchi ng. The poison seems most virulent when the plant is blooming. ' People. oiiilen confuse poison ivy with Virginia creeper, the two vines sometimes growing togerther. The latter, however, has five leaflets which lack the peculiar dark green shade of the poisonous plant. Pois•en ivy affects no special hab- itat. It is found, in ravines, and on the boarder of woods; it climbs tall trees and nestles coyly in fence cor- ers. It is anywhere and eve'ywhere. and the only sure way to avoid it is to watch your footsteps and -restrain yourself from promiscuous picking, especially in the autumn when its gay coloring makes it a desirable orna- rnene When frequenting localities where Poison ivy may be found, either on. pleasure or, in connection with your work, it ie advisable to make a search to detect its presence or otherwise.
