Run to hear so much about granular
butter, we have been Instructed to
wash it in sueceive waters until this
was drawn off clear, or free from uiilkl
ness. It is my opinion that neither one
of these policies Is ihe light oiie to fol
low. ' I have tested this matter nf wash
ing butter for a number of years, and
have come to the conclusion that either
extreme Is to be avoided. To wash tt.
even In granular form, will give us a
butter that will not diiay or turn
strong so soon as that not washed so
thoroughly, but it washes out much of
the flavor, tin the other hand, while
i the flavor Is enhanced by not washing,
the buttermilk left lu it aftir working

, all know, there Is nothing which more
i ipilckly spoils and become ill smelling

Many wliidfall tipples would be little

sioncs were spread out under them.
There Is no excuse for leaving loose
stones where apple must fall on them,
as the bruising destroy their market
value. Orchards much cultivated are
apt to have most stones on the surface.
It 1 better to leave the ground under

keep the grass from drawing too much
of the soil moisture.
Winter drain After Potato a. ,
Wherever the potato crop can be got
off lu time for seeding with fall grain,
It makes the very best seed bed. No
plowing Is needed If Ihe weeds have
been kept down. It Is only necessary I
to pile the polalo vines In heaps and
hum them, starting the tire In a brush '
J heap, if the potato tops are too green
. to burn readily. A great deal of plant j
iooii i developed ailer growing a crop
i f potatoes. It Is largely nitrogenous, j
as the potato crop Is chiefly --aier and
carbon, with some potash, which Is
mostly found lu the potato tops.
