Why is it that we encounter more poor butter flavor in winter than in summer! writes a correspondent. While the natural conditions for producing good flavor are not as perfect now as :hen. yet these adverse conditions can be easily overcome by the exercise of average foresight. As regards the cor- rection of this evil. we should remem- her that the cream possesses the flavor of the milk from which it is derived. and that the butter made from the cream retains the flavor of the latter. Therefore we must go back to the be- ginning and start the milk quality all right. A bad lacteal flavor may be in‘ herent. or acquired. Inherent, when coming from tainted foodâ€"as musty hay. hay mixed with weeds, moldy or black ensilage; from the breathing of vitiated stable air by the cows; and from physical ailments affecting the in- tegrity of the udder. Acquired, by filth falling into the milk-pail from! the teats or udder; warm milk absorbing odors from a tainted stable atmosphere; unclean milk utensils, and the use of a buttery that is a communicating ap- pendage of the farmhouse kitchen. From any one or more of these num- erous causes a foreign flavor can be imâ€" parted to the milk that nothing will eradicate, the treatment being purely reventive. How easy, then, not to ave poor butter flavor from such sour- cesl By merely exercising the caution and care needful to be maintained in every dairy, the whole danger is obviat- ed. Having considered the means of in- fection of the raw material. let us turn to the finished material, the btuter it- self. It stands a less chance of deter- iorating in winter than in summer,â€" thanks to the low temperature,â€"-but yet it may lose its flavor through a number of channels. As preventives in this line. the but- ter must not be overworked; the butter- milk must be extracted from it; a re- liable and soluble brand of salt, free from foreign mineral matter, must be used; and the product must be put in clean. aseptic packages. In the majority of cases unclean stable surroundings impregnating the milk, is the cause of damaging winter butter fla- vor. When you have lost the natural aro- ma of butter, it is the same as though the diamond had been bereft of its lusterâ€" its chief attribute of worth is gone. I would make every milker wash his hands before sitting down to a, cow, and if necessary sponge off the animal's udder and teats. This latter precaution, however, will seldom be needed where plenty of dry bedding is used. I would also give the stable a thorough airing daily. and if this was not sufficient to eradicate odors, I would employ a de- odorizer, like plaster, on the floor after cleaning. By these precautions you are not trying to gain anything but what should always be found in butter,â€"viz., natural flavor. Nature attends to these points pretty well in summer time, when cows have the range of clover-scented fields. but a. wise dairyman can officiate quite well in nature's place if he only tries to. Are you doing it this winter, and thus preserving the most valuable characteristic of your butter? Keeping Accounts With the Farm. Farmers, as a rule. are too negligent in this matter. They often complain of hard times, cheap wheat. and low prices for all other farm products, when they are utterly unable to state just what their products cost them per bushel or per ton. It is one of the most satisfact- ory accounts a farmer can keep. and has been largely the means of enabling the writer to reduce the cost of produc- ing a bushel of wheat from $1.25 in 1882 to 340 in 1894. allowing the same pay for labor expended and for rental of land in each case. The cost of all other crops was also reduced, but the reductions were not so marked as in the case noted. While it has a strong tendency to reduce the cost of produc- tion. this is not all. It enables a farm- er to know whether he can afford to sell his products at prices prevailing when he wants to sell. If he raises them at a. loss he will know_it. and a ztin it is a great help in showmg him w ich crop pays best on his farm. so that he can grow more of what isadapt- ed to his 3011 and climate and is most profitable. _ Any cheap memorandum book Will answer the purpose. but an indexed led- ger is better. Then plant your farm. and name or number the fields, stating how many acres each contains. \thn you begin farm operations in the spring. charge the field with all labor at a given price for hand and team. a given price for hand where team in not used. also all seed grain at what it is north at. the time “.8 seed. and lastly, charge the field with a certain amount of rent. . Don't for etl to keep dates of all these charges. or or interest on investment. they are a wonderful satisfaction in after years. When you gather the crop give credit for the product in bushels or tons. and at the end of the year it is an ens ' matter to determine the exact cost 0 each product. When once ac- customed to keeping such accounts, the desire to continue them will grow. Try it the coming year. and report results through the columns of this magazine next winter. fl Horse Notes.

Nearly all the horses used for fast driving. and many truck and carriage horses in foreign cities. are furnished with a pad or cushion placed under the shoe; it prevents soreness. If you drive your horse on hard roads he should be shod once every four or five weeks by a competent shoer. A good bed for your tired horse to lie on after a hard day's work Will do him more good than two quarts of oats. To be a successful breeder you must be a good judge of horses and have plenty of good horse sense. If your mare has a ringbone do .not use her for breeding purposes. Ring- bone is fearfully hereditary and if your colt has one it Will hardly pay to raise him. . Farmers should notice that their horses' teeth are in a normal condition and that their stock Vmastlcate their food properly; if not,_many of the ani- mals will cease to grow and .Wlll get thin, by not getting the benefit of the food they eat. ODD FACTS ABOUT MADAGASCAR Policemen Sleep on Their Beatsâ€"The Curlew is of Ancient [Inc and the Ian guage "as no Swear Words. Probably the sleepiest policemen in the world are those of Madagascar. At Antananarivo, the capital. there is little evidence of the force by day. for its members are all peacefully wrapped in slumber. At night. too, the guardian of property is seldom to be seen, and that he is actually guarding is only to be told by the half-hourly cry that is sent up to Police Post No. 1 alongside the royal palace. "\Vatchman, what of the night?" “We are wide awake,keeping asharp lookout, and all's well." Antananarivo has no lamps and no streets. It is simply a. great collec- tion of houses tumbled together. There is a. big force of night ,police, known as the “watc .” The “ watch" gathers itself together into groups. and choosmg snug corners, wrapping themselves in straw mats. they drop into long and profound slumber. One member of each group remains awake to respond to the half-hourly call from the palace. As he calls back, the others, half awake, mechanically shout back the response. It makes little difference, however, that the police continually sleep. for robbery is rare. Curfew, though popularly suplposed to be purely an early English and . orman- French custom, has becn.established in Madagascar for centuries. In every town and village between 9 and .10 the watch go around rshoutlng out in the Mal asy dialect: “Lights out!" and they see t lat all is in darkness in every house. After these hours no one is allowed to travel around without a special pass. There is no criminal code of any ac- count, and when a. man is caught in the act: of stealing the populace are apt to ignore the police and surround him and stone him to death. The ' Mada- ascans have no "swear words”.in their anguage, and when their feelings are overwrought against a. man the only thing they can do is to execute sum- mary vengeance upon him. WE EAT TOO MUCH. Twelve Ounces .of load la a. Men! for a Brain “'orker, and Twenty ounces for a Man or Muscle. The present mode of eating now prac- tised by the unscientific public at divers table d’hotes, beaneries and boarding- house boards three times a. day, 865 days in the year, is evidently all wrong. The unscientific public eats too much. In an article in the Food Reform Magazine, a Dr. Nichols declares that the average quantity of water-free aliment required, say by business and literary men, is twelve ounces. and that men of great 'musoular activity are well fed on Six- teen to twenty ounces. _ Dr. Nichol_s's advice is to find the minimum quantity which enables a man to do his daily work without loss of weight, by experi- ment. and then habitually keep to it. In the midst of the dietary counsels of the vegetarians on the one Side and the raw-beef-and~hot-water theorists on the other, it. is interesting to contemâ€" lplate the possibilities of the eating of the future. It is probable that eating lin the twentieth century Will be reduced jto the minimum. and a. century or so thereafter be abolished alto ether, if the present trend of scienti ic dietetic idiscovery continues. ’l‘he_ good old ; feasts of Christmas are decried as abarâ€" ibarous indulgence of the animal appe- ltite, and it is only necessary to attend ;a high tea of a soCial new woman or la debutante luncheon of a cooking- fschool raduatc to find evidence of the letherea ization of latter-day eating-Up 'to date no table d’hote has advertised its dinners by the metric system. and no restaurant has served meals by the 'solid ounce.

Helen Keller, the marvelous deaf and - blind girl of whom everyone has heard so much, is now completing her educa- tion in a private school for the deaf Balls and raffles are, popular amuse- in New York City' Her latest “com‘ plishment is learning to sing. Placing her fingers on the throat of a singer, she is able to follow notes covering two octaves, with her own voice. The only difference between her voice and that of a normal person is in its resonant So'acutely developed has her sense of touch become. that. by placing her hand .upon the frame of a piano; she can distinctly distinguish between two notes not more than half a tone apart: ‘ meg to the special efforts which have been made to educate her, the mind of Helen Keller is far more fine- ly developed than that of ordinary girls. The development of her senses of taste and smell are remarkable. So acute is her sense of smell that she is able to detect the presence in a room of an- other person, nomatler how noiseless his entrance may haVe been. But more wonderful than all is her sense of touch. So fine has this become that by-placmg her hand on the face of a v1s1tor she is able to detect shades of emotion which the normal human eye absolutely fails to distinguish. In other words, her sense of touch is de- veloped to such an exquisite sensitive- ncss that it forms a better eye for her than yours or mine for us.
