Probably riPealng the eream is the net intportant step to be taken, It Is a com- mon practice to mic all the cream for a week, and churn at the end of that per- iod, Some of this cream le, a week old, while often some of it is ,skimmed just before ehurnIng, Good butler canriot be made out of cream a week old, even when one has good cooling! facilities. It le better to churn two or three timee a week and, while this will necessi- tate more work, it Is amply repaid by the improved qttality at the butter. It is a mistake to put fresh cream into the cream to be churned within le or 18 hours before churning, When eat% new lot is added the creaui ehould be well mined. This will Insure more even ripening. As on as /skimmed cool the eream to as low a temperature as pos- sible. This will elte-olc the growth of bacteria. I3efore mixing with the old, each fresh lot should be cooled. About le to 18 hours before churning warm the erearn to 05-70 degrees Fahrenheit, and allow it to ripen or sour at this temper- ature. The moment thesucream thickens cool it down as low aaapoeeible untie itady to churn. Just what Is the best temperature for churning really eannot be told. For in. 'stance cream from cows kept on pasture reuulres churning at a lower temperature than from cows kept on dry feed. There, are various other conditions that affect churning temperature. The temperatures at wbich best results can be secured will vary from 50 to 60 degrees F., depending upon conditions. While it is a fact that the lower the temperature the better the uuality or butter, it must not be forgot- ten that it Is possible to get the cream No cold that it will be diffieult to churn. Butter should be churned at such tem- perature that it will come in not more than a half hour, and. be firm when it is churned. Should the butter come in half that time, and be soft, it is a. good Judie cation that the cream wae too warm. When the granules of butter are about the size of amine of wheat the churn should be stopped. It is a. mistake to churn into a solid mass. over -churning in this way retains a. large quantity of buttermilk which it Is impoasible to wash out. bestdes it destroys the grain of the butter, thus injuring both the appearance and the keeping quality. As soon as the butter Is churned to the size. of wheatgraine the buttermilk must be drawn off, and to much wash eve.ter added as there was buttermilk, WW1 the butter by giving the oleurn eight Or ten revolutions. Should the water come out. white, wash again with an equal nouiX ot water. The temperature of the wash water should be at leaat five degrees colder than the ehurning tem- perature of the cream.

Any poultry raiser who late spare grOinal elioUld grow alfalfa, the best green feed that grows, containing 7,4 ash or mineral matter and,11 per ent. protein in dry form. In its green state the percentage is much higher. Alfalfa ean be grown almost anywhere if ear- tein rulee are followed. The Indian ltunner duck ia in popular favor :now, and those breeding true Run. ners are reaping a rich harvest. There le a brisk demand for hatehing eggs and etock, although good stook is not to be bed in leap quantities, aa the breeders are uaing them to produce hatching eggs to meet the demand of the trade, A good dry feed fur young ellielas from five days of age to maturity 100 pounds bran, 100 pound middlings, 100 pounds mettled alfalfa, 100 pounds ground oats aud 50 pounds of fine ground beef seraps. Cornmeal in the above is omitted, as the chicks secure all they »eetl in the scratch feed. Avoid chilling the chicks when taking them from the incubator to the brooder. They are very tender at this age and any eldiling Will calm trouble. Start the brooder lamps a few daye before the ehielos .are to be put in, so that it is thoteetighly warmed. Prom 00 to 95 degrees le about right at the start. Do not feed for at least 48 hours af- ter incubation or chicks hatched under hens. Feeding too Soon has cataaa;d many it loss. Nature has provided food for that length of time. Vor the first few days the young ehiek needs rest and warmth. Well -raised chick's are it source of pride and profit, but this =mot be ob.

Thie has been one of the cries against brooder chicks, the operator crowding, poor ven- tilation and the result was ehicks that, while they lived, were stunted and reaohed naaturity under standard Weigh t. It pays to purclutee good chick feed. There are several good grades of feeds whielt in many cases are fnli of on the market with not over 15 to '25 per cent, of corn. Beware of cheap trash more harmful than good. Cheap chick feeds- are on the market becatese of the large demand for cheap feeds. It is wise to purchase the best, getting re- sults by it low death: rate and thriving chicks. Keep the chicks close to the brooder the first, week. At this age they need warmth, Make them bustle the second. week, when they are stronger and past the danger period. 1f hatehed with hens always confine hen to the coop until dicks are strong. Dry bran placed before the chicks at he fifth day is a good feed aud pre- pares them for the heavier dry mash which should start around •the seventh to tenth day, when the chicke are ready to stand a feed_ that is heavier in ash and paotien. Poultry house construction plays an important part "in successful poultry. Many poultry raisers stili eem shy in trying fresh air, and the majority of houses throughout the country are still closedtoo tight. Plenty. of fresh air without draughts will give ono healthy fowls, old ler young. Poultry and fruit make it great coin- bina.tiOn. The poultry help the trees and. the trees help the fowls. Fowls need shade to make their best develop- ment, Many poultry raisers aim to make their fowlcomfortable in win- ter, but, their fowls have no ibade to shelter them from the hot rays of the anunmer eun. Artificial shade is better than none, but doea not have the pa- tural air drainage that natural shade will give. Plant some peach and apple trees in -the runs or range for future shade. It will pay—both in better fruit and better poultry. Too many beginners blame the ineu- bator for poor hatehes, the brooders for faulty eonstruetiou, When the real fault lies with the eggs that are placed in the maeltine end those that are hatched be- ing weak. The best brooder made could not raise them, or mother hen. either. Good, hatehable eggs are only obtained from. pod, etrong breeding stock, fed itt a gooa Manner, and. they shouli be hous- ed in a well -ventilated house. Strong breeders play it. very irepertant part in poultry from a profit st.andpoint. One of the best feeds—the first feed of the younger thickeeds rolled oats, foie lowing with a good high-grade chide feed. Dry feeding is eafest and it cert beet befed in a dry mad, composed of bran, middlings, alfalfa, meal, ground oats and beef aeraps. This feed is high in aelt or mineral matter and pro, telT111;e majority of poultry feeders feed too midi corn. Corn its a god feed in its place, but it is never in Otto to feed over 50 per ceet, as is fed in many castes. More wheat and oata will give better re sults, Brooding is harder that incubating. The enodern high-grade inettbator is a good. hatcher, but' great improvement ean ha made in the pregent-dae brooder.

What are staled, on the authority df the geological survey and the officials of the Brit:nth museum, to be the re- mains of the head of a hippopotamus and two pieces of au ivory tusk, prob. ably that of it nialninoth, have been diecovered on the estate of the Can.o 11111 asylum at Coulsdon in. Surrey. There are several considerable frag- ments of the head of the hippopota- mus, which include portions of the jaw with teeth in position, the articu- lation of the awbonee, two of tbe larger teeth, and some of the verte- brae, and there are also a number of small parts of boue *which so far it has not been possible to piece to- gether. Diecoveries of this nature are not unusual, though the remains, au a rule, are not in it good. state of preser- vation. About fifteen years ago the skull and mite bones of a hippopota- mus were found near Hewbridge. A lIttle later, in a brick pit at Ilford, a uumber of remains of the pleletocene period were uncoveied, including thbse of a mammoth cave bear and a woolly rhinoceros, Wh.en digging for the foundations of the new admiralty buildings the bones of animals belong- ing to the saute period were found. But most of these latter relies were itt Snell a state that it was difficult to say to what species they belouged. The most important find of this de- scription in recent yeal's was made nearly 10 years ago -e -in. July, 1908---1n the course of excavations between Whitefriars streets and Salisbury square. Bones ,of extinct animals were unearthed. These included a very fine skull of the woolly rhinocer- os, together with part of its lower jaw and portions of its limb bones. The specimens were presented to the nat- ural history museum, where litey are now exhibited. The continuation of these excava- tions led to the discovery of other re- mains—bone of the rhinoceros, the ate.mmoth, the reindeer, the horse and the great extinct ox, The 'woolly rhin- oceros is represented by a beautifully complete skull of a young animal, in Vila. were kill the milk teeth. Cur- tously enough, the second half of the lower jaw of the rhinoceros whoite skull was found in 1903 was also dis. covered, aud the two are now re. 11111"teed. 11hremains were ali entombed in mud, deposited in the valley of the antient Thames, or perhaps more-prob. abilo of some small tributary or back- water. Various estimates of the time which has elapsed since these animals lived in the Thames valley have been made, and It is probably more than 150,000 years.
