Mr. L. S. Hardin in Louisville Farm aud Homo says: The papers are very busy Just now discussing the question of how much water—that is, what per cent of wa ter-should be allowed In good butter. Tho Kuglish market Is somewhat stir red up over the matter on account of its variation in the different makes coming from other countries. The American makers who ship to Eng land must, of course, cater to the re quirements of the English market; but, as water, when used in excess, Is an adulterant, adding nothing but weight to the butter, it should not be allowed beyond an agreed amount. When butter Is poorly made and spongy in character, it holds all the water its maker chooses to leave in it; but, as water causes rapid decay, it is seen how uecessary Is thorough work ing when it has to stand long ship ment or storage. Such butter to keep well must be made dry and solid. Some of the experiment stations have made tests as to the maimer c«f making dry and wet butter, varying the size of the granule in the churn when the work stops from the size of clover seed to the size of corn grains, and find a difference in water retained of about 2 per cent, the larger the grain the more water retained. When, for instance, the old fashioned metliod of churning is followed and the butter Is gathered in the churn, the greatest amount of water is taken up and must be expelled by working it out. This work not only imposes an extra amount of careful labor, but greatly imperils the grain of tho butter from overworking, rendering it more or less oily and injuring It In every way. It will be seen from the reported ex periments above that the proper way to prevent too high a per cent of water Is to stop the churn when the granules are the size of or smaller than clover seed, and then wash the buttermilk out with water cooled to CO degrees. Put it through two or three washings, the last being a stiff brine, which will salt the butter sufficiently for the high est class better, though more salt can be added on the working table, where the extra water left In the butter should bo pressed out with great care in order to preserve the tine grain so necessary to a high character article. No ofiiclul per cent of water In butter has yet been announced, but the ten dency botli In this country and In Eng land is a preference of about 12 per cent for fine goods and to muke the law prohibitory of over 1(J per cent. It takes considerable skill to determine the exact per cent of water In butter, but as there is no danger of leaving too little in. to be on the safe side, work out all you can without injuring the grain. The old style firkin butter, made In June and marketed In Decem ber, was made as hard and ns dry as a bone, but was too firm and hard to spread on bread until warmed nearly to the melting point. The cooks de light in such butter, but It Is no favor ite on the table. CARRIAGES T RUCK M AN. A fair share of patronage solicited sad all n-dera promptly tilled. WATER IN BUTTER. ■ m K * BINDERS F.

By this means Ri\ cows, it is claimed, can be milked in about twelve minutes. The department proposes to make a test ou some good herd of milkers, pos slbly the herd at St. Elizabeth’s In sane asylum near Washington, select ing twelve, uniform milk cows, and on six of them using the milking machine for a period of weeks while the other six are milked In the usual way. This will give some idea of the practical value of the machine. It Is a well known fact that where cows are milked rapidly and with tbe least men tal irritation on their part their milk production Is the highest.—Indiana Farmer. F o r th e S e lf S a c k in g C o w . The party who wrote concerning his s< If sucking cow should try the device which is being used on both cows and .lives here, says the Michigan Farm r. It consists of a piece of wire about eight inches long, with both ends sharpened to a needle point. This is put through the nose the same as a Indi ring, beading tho points down n little and leaving plenty of loop in th* nose so that It will work freely. A cow can suck herself only when lying down, and If tlds device Is put lr properly it will prick the udder when ever she attempts to practice the habit. It may require a little experimenting to get the points shaped just right, hut ft hns been used quite successfully bore.

Major Alvord. tbe chief of tile dairy division, states that the lalior re quired to milk the cows of the United States is represented by the work of about 3o,0<JU men working ten hours a day tbe year round. He says that there arc no effective milking machines In operation In this country, though ho, knows o f a few In Iowa which milk one cow at a time. Hla division is now arranging to make a test of a Scotch machine which will milk six or eight cows at a time. The operation of this milker Is said to be superior In several respects to hand milking. Tbe action on the cow’s teats is the nearest pos sible to tbe sucking o f tbe calf, tbe mo tion having a pulsating effect. The operation la performed by means of a pump attached to tbe milker which aucka tbe milk from the cow's udder in a very natural manner.

Nowhere Is to be found a more pom pous or n more awe Inspiring person than the headsman, who plays In India the role which the official hangman plays in n European city. Ills deadly work, he performs with great skill, and in bis bearing there Is a certain dignity which Is never seen In a European hangman.' Moreover, while In Europe the |>opulaco regards it hangman with a feeling which Is pnr, 1 j contempt Slid partly horror, the people of India respect and fear the public pxeeulloner and never seem to think that lie has lowered himself In I lie soda I scale by accepting the office of headsman. On festive occasions nnil when nr- rnyed In his robes of office the execu tioner Is decidedly a picturesque figure and altogether different from the «um ber ami grim hangman of Europe. P h ra se r. It appears that an old farmer noughton owned a large pile o f i stones, with which he wished to All • ditch, but be bad already got about as much work out of Ids boys aa they were willing to do. especially aa It was nearlug tbe hour for a ball game. The old man was bound to have tbe stones moved, anyhow, and so, pretending to j have discovered a nest of snakes In the dltcb, began atoning the place where tbe Biiukes were alleged to be. The boys, who a few minutes before were weary and listless, were now all life ami animation. Each threw stones as fast as he could grab them, and tbe pile was soon In the dltcb.
