farmers of the Uuited States, and
have sab! that enterprise is very

the butter In a few minutes, prom •»
20 tc 30 minutes ie about rlyht. :
Good grass will make nice ooiored
batter. At such seasows, whan the
butter Is pale, use coloring oarefttlly.
It is better that batter be rather light
than a dark yellow.
When the batter comes in
ulve, atop churning. Wash with
cold wster or cold brim*; work only
enough to bring It to a Arm uniform
mass. Do not salt heavily; from
three-quarters to one ounce of salt
to a pound of butter is enough.
Tack in tight, clean, sweet
agea; fill within half inch of tba top,
cover with a clean cloth, and add
brine to fill until sold. Keep it In
tbe oooleet place you have, and thera
is no reason why you should not get
the top price for your butter.

if we did not use the plow, the weeds
snd grass would spring op and choke
the crop, but then if tbe weeds and
grass did not grow it would be nec-
essary to use tbe plow for several
other reasons.
Air is as necessary for the roots of
plants as to the leaves, for even those
elements of plant food which are
chiefly furnished through the roots.
If the soil is not stirred, tbe almoe-
phere does not easily circulate
through !t, and l he plant, to that ex-
tent, suffers.
The roots of the growing crops
must penetrate the soli in search of
food, for they are oaly capable of
appropriating tbo elements of nutri-
tion in the soil by coming in contact
with them. It avails nothing to the
farmer that bis land is rieb, if the
physical condition of the sou is suou
that the roots of liis crop can not find
the food which it contains. They
can do this only when the soil is
loose enough for tbun to penetrate
it; and one of tho-odhos ot the plow

Nor can wo woudci at this apathy and
lack of enterprise.
The cause lies in a nutshell. The
vital anergy of the farmer's mind U
sapped by incoassnt physical drudg-
ery. His hours of labor aic too ex-

borious to lenvc room lor brains

fore, in ptilverlxiog the’soil, not only
enables the roots to travel ftnrther in
search of food, but multiplies the
supply within their reach.
Keeping the soil stirred, increases
its capacity for absorbing the Water
from the rales which fall, renders it
more capable of pumping up moist-
ure from below by capillary attrac-
tion; nnd thus it is that crops which

down, and the whole secret is out.
Incessant toil deadens tbe faculties
and saps vitality.
We do not know that there is any
remedy for these long hours of farm
labor, but it is certain that while
they exlat farmors will always drag
behind other classes who labor
let*.
Mechanics were once cursed with
tba tame curse, but they agitated for
twenty five years nod forced from
their task masters the ten hour rule.
The ten hour rule has been the sal-
vation of the laboring classes. Me.
ohanks have done that, it is doubt-
ful that farmers can do it. In that
respect, we think the grange made a
great mistake. Il should have made
leas hours of labor a principal.

dure the fkrmer poor, the poorer he

which makes him still poorer, and so

Let the milking be done by quiet
persons, whether male or female, at
regular tin.es morning or evening,
knowing always that tbo milking is
conducted ns cleanly as It is

Know that the utensils for holding
the milk are of tbe beet description
and always sorupuously clean.
See that tbe milk ia perfbotly cool-
ed to free it from animal odor. A

Be sure tbe room for setting milk
is cool, and so it may be darkened
