The mould will be on the extra cloth, leaving the cheese clean when removed. Packing Butter on th for Home Use. _ The can in which the cream is colâ€" lected should be clean and free from rust. _ The cream should be good flavored and should be churned sweet, or with very little souring. . A cream with high acidity will not make a longâ€"keeping butter. As pasteurized cream butter will keep very much better than raw cream butter it would pay to go to the extra trouble of pasteurizing the cream when the butter is going to be held for some time. To pasteurize, place the can of cream in a larger vessel containing hot water. Stir the cream gently until the temperature comes up to 170 deg. F. Hold it at that temperature for at least ten minutes, then cool it quickâ€" ly to a low temperature. Hold it cold for a few hours before churning it. Churn at a temperature low enough to bring the butter in nice firm granâ€" ules. Avoid overchurning. Wash the butter twice and salit in the usual way. Work the butter a little to mix in the salt, then let it stand in a suitable nlace for a few hours before finishâ€" pla ing the working. ! Have the butter of such firmness that it will stand sufficient working so that the salt will be evenly disâ€" tributed and that it will be close in body and not show water pockets. ‘ As butter keeps best in large packâ€" ages, crocks, tubs and boxes are u~cd. The crocks should be in good condiâ€" tion, free from breaks in the glazing, and should be well scalded before usâ€" ing. Tubs and boxes should be coated with paraffine wax and lined with heavy parchment paper. Put the butter in in small pieces, pack solidly, using a butter packer or a wooden potato masher. Pack each piece by working from the centre outâ€" ward. Pound we‘!l around the edges and in the corners so as to avoid havyâ€" ing holes. As ages, The tion, Ordinarily my steers will bolt a}| good percentage of grain when fed | shelled corn. This means 1 must havo'; hogs behind them to save a part of| this waste. It is sometimes hard to get enough hogs. I have lessened this waste to some extent by mixing: a little oats and oil meal in with the grain. 1 find this combination causes the stoers to relish the grain more, and they eat it more slowly. | This idea came to me about Lhree1 years ago when I was feeding corni containing a lot of moisture. Apparâ€" ently the cattle were getting little good out of it. I tried the oats and oil meal. Now I use this mixture no matter what kind of corn I have. In starting cattle I use ear corn, in which I mix a liitle shelled grain. This prevonts the cattle from eating too much grain at the start. As they become accustomed to heavy feeding, I gradually change over to shelled corn, oats, and oil meal. Plenty of clover hay and good clean water comâ€" pletes my ration, and I can average two pounds gain a day with steers that are halfway well bred.â€"â€"T. J. D.

B. Rothâ€" well, Dominion Animal Husbandman; at the same time, he adds, there was never a worse time to raise "scrubs" and "skates" than the present. There is a demand for quality drafters which will continue, provided the right kind of horse is produced. Over production and poor judgment in brecding have brought about recent discouraging conditions. Speaking of fceding, the Dominion . Animal Husbandman advises the givâ€"| ‘ing of but little grain to the brood mare during the winter months, but: advocates the feeding of a fair amâ€". ‘ ount or good hay, timothy, mixed hay,‘ clover or peas, oats and vetches. One! feed a day, he suggests, of wellâ€"cured, \ mixed or clover hay or of green cut oat hay will be found excellent. Turâ€" \ nips, carrots or mangels should form at least one feed daily, there being. ‘no better winter feed than roots. As to exercising, plenty of fresh air, naâ€" tural, succulent feeds and work proâ€" mote healthy functioning. A mare in healthy, natural shape means that the foal she is carrying is likely in a simiâ€" lar condition. ? Medicines should be used only where : indicated and not as a general hitâ€"andâ€" miss cureâ€"all. The mare should get salt regularly. A tablespoonful of chickâ€"size or pulverized charcoal in the feed two or three times a week is _ beneficial. A box in the yard containâ€" ‘ing a readily accessible mixture of , salt, boneâ€"meal and charcoal, it is |suggested, will be found particularly ‘ good for colts and growing stock genâ€" . erally, and may supply just what some |brood mares require in the way of | mineral salts. All mares, however, do . not require the same, and it is well to . provide for obscure possibilities. While strongly advocating the use of good stallions, Mr. Rothwell directs attention to the importance of choosâ€" ing a fitting mate. Still, it is due not only to carcless breeding that animals of poor quality are so commen:t mony undersized, poorly developed three yearâ€"olds are the result of hot su.mâ€" mers, of flies, bare pastures, trudging after hardâ€"worked mothers, and, insoâ€" far as the foal is concerned, to a lack of a little grain, choice hay, and a few roots in winter feeding.

The term Heaves, or Brokenâ€"Wind, is applied to a condition afl'ectinfl horses which is manifested by shortâ€" ness of breath due to the air cells of the lungs becoming overâ€"distended. It is caused in many cases by feeding horses dusty hay, particularly timâ€" othy and clover hay. Allowing horses to drink an excessive amount of water after feeding and just before going to work, and also overloading the stomach with bulky food always preâ€" disposes to the development of heaves, hence the condition is met with most frequently in horses which are greedy feeders. Over exertion when the stomâ€" ach is full is always liable to produce heaves.

It was her first visit to a farm and she evinced keen interest in all she saw. Being shown the dairy herd, she turned to the farmer and asked: "Which ones give the cream?" Somebody has said, "Happy is the man whose pocket is empty enough that he may put his pride in it if, necessary." This leads us to conclude, that the farmer must be happy, as| he has plenty of room in his pocket: for his pride. _ | TORONTO | LEssoN SETTINGâ€"In the lesson for /C |toâ€"day we see that it is God‘s clear T and expressed will that his followers | J continue the ministry of their Master, !tl and that the world is the field of that‘fl \ministry.

It was this gift that would enable the disciples to fulfil the great. commission entrusted to them. In acâ€" cordance with that command they are met together. Wilt thou at this time restore? This question shows that the: minds of the 3isciples were still posâ€" sessed by the idea of a temporal kingâ€" 'dom. It is not for you to know the itime. It was a natural question to ask.

"But, Mirandy," cried John, "I can not spare the money for a suit of clothes just now; the interest on the loan is almost due, and there is the note I gave when we bought that maâ€" chinery." "I wonder if you could not trade a hog with Sam Brown, the tailor; he has a big family and could surely use a hog," said Mirandy, "You are sure one born manager," cried John. "I will see what can be done. I am going to town and will talk with 0. B. Middleman; he knows about such things." Sam Brown sat with legs crossed, stitching at a new pair of pants. He was thinking of the winter coming on and of all the little Browns that had to be fed.

"Oh, Farmer John dropped in the office and wanted to know if I thought he could trade a nice hog for a new suit of clothes. ‘You might get a suit of clothes for two nice hogs,‘ 1 said. ‘Get your hogs and I will see what can be done.‘ "I stepped in to see Sam Brown, the tailor, and asked if he could use a nice hog for the winter. How the Trade was Made. "Just what I have been thinking of,‘ Brown said. ‘Do you think I could trade a suit of clothes for one with some farmer? " *You would need two suits of clothes for a nice hog, Sam,‘ I said. ‘Hogs are high just now. Bring the suits to the office and I will see what I can do. I know a lot of farmers.‘ "The result is, my dear, John has a nice new suit. Sam has a nice fat hog and we, by my upâ€"toâ€"date methods, have a nice fat hog, and I have a new suit of clothes.

H. L. tr enDa Seime COC s INOnto o otcadet the men who came to sick call were given C. C. pills and marked on the sick book for "duty." (The boys used to think ninetyâ€"nine per cent. got this treatment). Some were marked for "light duty." Some were excused from duty and marked "sick in quarters," and there were others so seriously ill that they were sent to the base hosâ€" pital and in so doing temporarily disâ€" missed from the company; "sick in hospital." It is estimated that some three hundred thousand citizens of Canada are sick enough to be excused from duty at practically any time you choose to inquire. But at the same time if four million of the remainder are sick enough to be below par they aren‘t what they ought to be. We are apt to think that if we are not sick abed we are well, as a medical expert says: "To many people the difference between being sick and well is the difâ€" ference between a horizontal and upâ€" right prtition." The fact is that any illness that goes unchecked will eventâ€" ually bring us to the horizontal posiâ€" tion, and the man who is wise finds the ailment and gets it in check before it has any such chance. _ Tests of sixteen samples of differâ€" \ent varieties of corn and five varieties \or strains of sunflowers were made \last year by the Division of Forage | plants of the Dominion Experimental Farms at Ottawa.

This, | the report says, accounts in part for | the wide variation in yield and reâ€" ported value of many of our named | commercial | varieties, _ The report ' goes on to say that there seems to be a lack of appreciation of the fact that sunflowers, at the time they are harâ€" vested for silage purposes, contain a very large per cent, of water, and that their high yield of green fodder has resulted in many growers placing a value on them, in conmparison with corn and other ensilac crops, much greater than they desorve, when conâ€" sidered in the light of their airâ€"Iry or absolute dry maiter contert.
