w hen butter will not gather the
difficulty can be traced usually to ad
vanced lactation or too low a tempera'
ture of cream. The milk from one
cow long In lactation la sufficient to
spoil a whole churning. The viscosity
of such milk renders separation of but
ter fats Blow and Imperfect It often
happens during the winter months that
butter, or cream, rather, will break or
separate Into small particles, which re
fuse to adhere or gather, In spite of all
coaxing. . The only remedy Is to raise
the temperature of the whole mass up
to the proper degree. In this work the
dairy thermometer Is almost Indis
pensable, as It will save much time
and worry. If the churn Is a revolv
ing one and the cream Just breaks Into
minute particles, refusing to gather,
then add warm water to that used In
rinsing the butter until It reaches about
l4 degrees. The butter particles will
generally adhere after a few revolu
tions of the churn. Trouble of this
kind can be avoided. Before attempt
ing to churn the cream should be test
ed until 04 degrees Is reached In win
.ter, and should be smooth and velvety
and have the required degree of acid
ity. If this degree of warmth Is not
linpurted to cream by the temperature
of the room In which It Is kept, then It
can be raised to the right degree by
setting 'the cream Jar or can In a
larger one containing warm water.

Winter Work on Karma.
One of the greatest needs on the
average Southern fnrin nowadays Is
more work In winter. Ever since I
could remember, It has seemed to me
that life on the common Georgia farm
Is too much of a happy-go-lucky style.
To get results In anything, one has to
keep everlastingly at It, so to speak.
For years I have heard staid old fann
ers discussing full plowing and spring
plowing, but I have seen too little of
It In actual observation, writes J. C.
M., In the Southern Cultivator.
There used to be an Idea, which Is
still prevalent, concerning results from
fall and winter plowing. Some ar
gued It was Injurious to plow deep In
the fall, others that It was absurd to
plow In the springtime to any great
depth. The truth of the matter Is that
good plowing at any time when the
soil Is In good condition Is a good thing
to do. Usually In the spring the sub
soil Is too wet to plow, and when It
Is turned up or broken In this condi
tion damaging results are likely to oc
cur. How to Kill a 1Mb.
The pig should be thrown on Its back,
And held until stuck. Oue man should
stand astride the body, with his feet
close against Its sides and take hold
of the front legs. In this way the hog
can be easily controlled. Another per
son should do the sticking. A nnrrow,
stralght-bladed knife, eight Inches
long, should be Inserted In the hog's
throat after making an Incision
through the skin, Just in front of the
breast bone. The point of the knlfu
should be directed toward the root of
the tall and held exactly In line with
the backbone. When the knife has
been run into the throat six or eight
Inches, the depth depending on the size
of the hog, It should be given a quick
turn to one side and withdrawn. The
arteries that are to be cut run close
together. Just Inside of the breast bone,
and will both be cut when the knife Is
turned, provided It Is sharp on both
sides of the point A pig killed In this
way will die in a very few minutes,
and will bleed out thoroughly.
Self-Cloalngr Doora.
The Inner doors of the barn should
me so arranged that they will close of
themselves ; this Is particularly neces
sary If they open Into the granary or
other room, where the animals ought
not to enter. A simple contrivance Is
to fasten a weight to the door, so that
It will close readily of Itself. Bard
ware stores sell spring hinges which
answer the desired purpose for heavy
doors, but the weight and pulley Is to
be preerred for lighter doors. A sim
ple arrangement Is to have the black
smith make holes at Intervals In a flat
strip of Iron, so that it may be screwed
to the door near the top. Hook a chain
in the hole lu the end of this strip, run
It through a pulley (obtainable at a
hardware store for a few cents) fasten
ed to the frame of the door or the Jamb,
as It is popularly known, and on the
other end fasten a piece of Iron of the
desired weight. Usually window
weights are used for this purpose, but
they should not be so heavy, for a light
door, that they will cause the door to
close too quickly. The Illustration
shows tlie Idea plainly. 1
Setting Treea In Winter;
Fruit and shade trees may be set an;
time during the winter If the soil Is In
proper condition for the work, says a
report by the Oklahoma Station.' The
condition of the soil at the time trees
are set has more to do with the success
or failure of the trees than does the
season of setting. If the land Is In
good condition In the fall, and the trees
can be obtained, It Is better to set them
then than to wait and run the risk of
not having the soil in good condition
later on. The land should be In a thor
ough state of cultivation and should be
moist enough to work well when the
trees are set If they are In good con
dltlon there Is no need of watering
them. ,
Trees set In the fall may be a little
difficult to protect from rabbits, but
they are usually hi better condition to
start growth In the spring than those
thnt have been heeled In all winter.
There are not so many poor trees sold
In the fall as In the spring, and for thU
reason fall setting usually gives better
results than spring setting.
Welsh t ol Lime Per Boahel.
In connection with a very thorough
study of the quality of various kinds of
lime used for agricultural purposes In
New Jersey, L. A. Vorhees, of the New
Jersey Station, made careful estimates
of the weight per bushel of the different
materials.
Ids results show "that the weight of
stone lime per hushel (heaped meas
ure), Is quite variable and without any
constant relation to the analysis of the
samples. The average weight per
bushel of the twelve mngncslan limes
was ninety-seven pounds, and that of
the six 'marble' limes was 101 pounds."
The weight per bushel of seven oyster
shell limes examined varied from
thirty-nine to seventy-five pounds, av
eraging fifty-one and a half pounds.
The prepared or so-called "agricul
tural" limes examined were still more
variable In weight.
Feed (or Breeding Anlmala.
It Is Important that breeding animals
have laxative feeds when they are put
upon dry feeds after being taken from
the pasture. Such articles as oil meal,
flaxseed meal, etc., should enter large
ly Into the ration. When animals are
changed from pasture to dry feeding
there Is a tendency to constipation, and
steps must be taken to have the bow
els move freely, or there Is danger of
serious trouble. In case the above ar
ticles do not have the desired effect,
Epsom salts or raw linseed oil must
be used.

How Bills of Carter and Hitch
cock Differ from Madden
Snapp Measure.
DISPOSITION OP THE FUNDS.
Democrat Provides for Board of
Investment All Fix Deposit
Limit at ?l,OO0.
Upon the indorsement by Postmaster
General Meyer and later by President
Roosevelt of the postal savings bank
system for the United States, three
separate and distinct plans have been
proposed to Congress as the proper pro
cedure for establishing and putting Into
operation such banks. In the House
of Representatives Representatives
Madden, of Chicago, aud Snapp, of
Jollet, 111., have introduced similar
measures. Representative Hitchcock,
of Omaha, a Democrat has introduced
another House bill, and Senator Thom
as Carter, of Montana is the father of
a senate bill. The main' differences In
these bills lie la the protection altuitl
ed depositors aud deposits and in the
Investment features of the funds of the
postal savings banks.
All these bills place a limit on the
Interest-bearing deposits which can be
made by any individual within any sin
gle calendar year and finally. The
Madden-Snapp bill provides that $30C
may be deposited within one- year and
that no interest shall be puldi to an;
depositor upon a deposit In- excess) ol
$1,000. The Carter bill makes the lim
it of annual deposit $500 and the final
limit of interest-bearing deposit $1,000
while the nitchcock bill has a double
barreled provision which is more' com
plex. It provides a limit of lnonihlj
deposit of $100 and the final limit ol
any single deposit at $1,000. In ad
dltlon It provides that no Interest shai:
be paid on more than $500 to any de
posltor and that If any depositor de
posit more than $200 In any one yeai
interest shall not be pnld on new de
posits in excess of thnt amount.
Both the Madden-Snapp and' Cartel
bills provide an Interest rate of 2. pei
cent on deposits, while the Illtchcocl
bill stipulates that the-rate on $200 oi
less shall be 2H per cent, and over
that amount and up to $500 the rats
shall' be fixed by a board of investment
composed of the Postmaster General
the Secretary of the Treasury and tht
Comptroller of the Currency.
In establishing postal savings bant
adjuncts to post offices there is- also t
difference between the Madden-Snapi
bill and the others. The Maddcn-Snapi
measure gives the Postmaster Genera
discretion In the selection of offices: foi
postal savings bank purposes; tht
Hitchcock bill is mandatory In that al
money order post offices are niadi
branches of the postal savings haul,
system, while the Carter bill makes al
first second and' third-class post of
flees branch postal' savings banks an
gives the Postmaster General some dia
cretion as to further extension lute
the fourth-class post offices.
In administration the Maddhn-Snapf
bill provides a general superintendent
of postal savings banks, with such, as
sistants and clerks as may be neces
sary, while the Secretary of tlie Treas
ury is authorized to Increase the audit
or's force In the Post Office Department
The sum of $,".0,000 Is set aside- to start
the banks In operation.. Both . the
Hitchcock and Carter bills stipulate
thnt the bead of the postal banks shall
be an officer known to the Fifth As
sistant Postmaster General, and ask
$100,000 to establish the banks.
