Cool cream to churning temperature .as soon as ripe. Let the cream stand eight hours or more (overnight) at the clmrning tem jporature. The temperature of churning should be such as to make the butter come in from 35 to 40 minutes, usually 55 to 60 degrees F. If it is desired to use artificial col--oring, it should be added to the cream just before churning. Stop churning when the granules aro about the size of peas, varying to wheat, and draw off the buttermilk. Wash the butter once with pure wa ter at the churning temperature, agi tating threo or four times, and drain. "Wash a second time with water ;about four degrees above churning In feeding poultry, it is never advis able to feed heavily during the early hours of the day. A hen gorged with food early in the morning, will have no incentive to exercise will lay around the roosting quarters and take on fat. In feeding for winter eggs the appetites of the hens should never bo fully satisfied until just before they go to roost at night. During the winter months I always feed the first food of the day in deep litter, says a writer in an exchange. The scratch grain is composed of equal parts whole wheat and cracked corn. A mash food is never fed early in the morning, for the reason that it fully satisfies the appetites of the hens and they will not work diligently in the litter. The wet mash is fed at noon or shortly thereafter. The mash is com posed of two parts bran, one part each of middlings, cornmeal, cut clover, beefscrap and ground dats, with the hulls sifted out. The hens are given all they will eat of this mash. If any is left after the hens are through -feed ing, it is removed and given to the hogs. About an hour before dark the hens are given all they will eat of whole corn and wheat and sent to bed with full crops. Grit, charcoal and oyster-shell are kept before them all the time. MATERIAL THAT HAS MUCH TO RECOMMEND IT. ONE OF THE NEWEST GOWNS Can Be Worn, and Look Well, With Almost Any Kind of Garment, While More Glaring Colors Become Distasteful. KEEP LITTLE PIGS GROWING Eastern Breeder Describes Plan of Weaning Youngsters First Give Oats and Milk. To keep pigs growing properly they should have as little set-back at wean ing as possible. This is the way that an eastern breeder describes his sys tern: "Before my pigs are weaned I teach them to eat and they are ready and eager for their meals when they are weaned. I first give them oats and milk, putting the oats in a trough, pouring the milk over them so they cannot get too much milk at one time. If I am short on milk, I put oil meal and middlings in milk and pour it on the oats. This plan starts the pigs eating while they are still suckling their mother and it is the best feed I have used for this purpose. As they get older I feed oats separately and make slop of oil meal one quart, mid dlings three gallons, milk and water 20 gallons. Then put 20 pounds of dry bran in the troughs and pour on the slop and turn them in. Give them only enough so they will clean it up well as if they wanted a little more. This keeps their appetite just sharp enough. A little corn is fed also and at eight months old these pigs will make as good as you will find." Out of the flower garden of gor geous tones that the early autumn produced, beige has crept into sight, .gained on the other colors, and it now i looks as though it might lead lor street costumery. It is a neutral color. It allows a woman to wear whatever hat, or blouse, or belt she possesses. Any kind of fur can be placed upon it without detriment to either fabric. No wonder, with those excellent qualities, it is making friends and finding a wel come among the most exclusive fash ions. One sets tired of a riot of colors. There must be tropical blood and tronical climate to allow of a con tinued use of scarlet, bright blue, flame pink, prelate purple, emerald green and ruby. These colors are all good in the evening, and no one wishes to take away from them a limited degree of popularity. For the street, for the passing crowd, for the perpetual panorama of women parading to and fro, and up and down, the eye demands some thing more subdued than the violent colors mentioned. There is always black to fall back on, but the Ameri can women have a violent distaste for black clothes this season; they want to get away, probably, from the symbol of all the sorrow across the water; this does not mean that they task : : .. s. vnvm. ;,: m ; . ...... .;:;. y Butter Shipping or Delivery Box. PRACTICAL GATES FOR FARM temperature, agitating seven or eight times, and drain. Add the salt wet while the butter is in granular form, using about onp to one and one-half ounces for each pound of butter, according to the de mands of the market. Work the butter just enough to dis tribute the salt evenly. If the butter is to go on the market it should be put up in neat, attractive packages. One Recently Invented by California Man Device Is Mounted in Space Between Two Posts. BEST TOP LAYER OF SILAGE Heavy Green Stalks From Which Ears Have Been Removed Form Heavy Cover Packs Well. Practical farm gates are always worth a second thought. Here is one recently patented by a California man. There is a keeper post and a pair of spaced diagonally offset posts, the gate being mounted in the space between the posts. Brackets connecting the posts are disposed at the ends and center of the lengths of the posts, a stirrup being pivoted to the central bracket "between the ends of this and straddling one of the gate rails and For tho top layer of the silo a good practice is to use heavy green stalks from which the ears have been re moved. This forms a heavy layer that packs well and at the same time contains a smaller amount of food ma terials so that tho minimum loss is sustained if it spoils. Various methods and materials have jeen used for covering the top of the silage to prevent its spoiling. None have given complete satisfaction, but the one mentioned above has given as good results as any, especially when the top layer was thoroughly wet down and packed firmly by tramping. The best practice i-s to commence feeding as soon as the silo is filled, in which case there will be no loss of silage through decay.

An upper and lower bar is used as a hanger for the gate, this having a roller at the front end, which rides on the rail. The two pivotal points of hanger and the pivotal point of the stirrup are disposed in the same vertical plane. Farming Business. Insects are high livers. On an acre of apple trees they may destroy a hun dred dollars' worth of fruit. Tho av erago value of the fruit of an aero of unsprayed apple trees in tho state of Missouri has been found to be $1S.05. Four careful sprayings made this value jump to an average of $1S7.19 an acre. On one orchard in 1913 the net profit duo to spraying was found to bo $1G1.12 an acre. The average cost per tree for the first spraying was G.G cents, 13 cents for the second, 9.5 cants for the third, and S cents for the fourth a total of 37.1 cents a tree, or an averagö of $22.26 an acre. American Farming. SPREADING STRAW ON FIELDS Helps Prevent Soil Blowing and Af fords Protection for Crops Adds Needed Humus. Way to Pack Fruit. Fruit of every kind should be paoked in boxes or baskets, stamped with the name of the grower, and if he will select a name for his product ag a sort of trade-mark in addition to his own name, he will have, in time. a valuable asset, provided no lives up to it in every way. Where straw is present in such quantities that it cannot be worked over by live stock it can be spread di rectly on the fields. It helps to prevent soil blowing and serves as a winter protection for the crop. As it gradually decays it be comes a part of tho soil in tho form of humus or decaying organic mate rial. 'Tho scattering of the old straw stacks found on tho big wheat farms will pay well for the labor expended. Now that special straw spreaders have been constructed it is not such a big task to spread the straw produced. Scientific Farming. No farming Is scientific and pro gressive that is not practical.

It does not soil easily and it makes an admirable redingote to wear over any kind of frock, serge or silk, vel vet or chiffon; it is chosen by the really smart women for a severely plain coat and skirt touched off with deep brown fur, for it is the opinion of the experts that soon the motto for the tailors will be: The plainer the better.

Beige is the quick answer that has come from the smart shops this month. The new tone that goes under this name is not exactly the one that came out of France last summer; it is deeper, warmer, more vibrating. There are many inexpensive mate rials which have been utilized for window curtains with surprising suc cess. One woman hung curtains of cheesecloth, trimmed wTith narrow cot ton fringe. Another is using cream colored seersucker, also finished with this narrow cotton fringe. The ad vantages of the latter material from the laundress' point of view are many, since the curtains will never need to be ironed. Unbleached muslin has many possi bilities. One made-over farmhouse has in the room on the ground floor sash curtains of this muslin, on which squares of Persian figured calico or print have been stitched at intervals, just suiting the old-fashioned small paned windows. For a blue dining room or one with quaint Dutch doors and windows, unbleached muslin would be charming with the mixed red and blue cotton fringe. Making a High Collar. These suits of checks and other mixed fabrics, which are made with out fur collars and often with open collars of the regulation notched sort, can be converted into high-collared suits with the help of a little standing collar of fur. The coat is simply closed to the throat and the little fur collar is worn over the upturned col lar of the v.oat with a decidedly smart result.

PROUD BEAUTY IN DISTRESS Incident Reads Something Like Scene From Modern Novel In Its Dra matic Intensity. She was a proud beauty. "Sir!" she cried with Hashing eyes, "release my hand!" He saw her flashing eyes; he knew she was a proud beauty. He retained possession of her hand and stared at it fixedly. "Mr. Dottles!" she exclaimed, "will you release my band?" Her very nose seemed to flash. There were few beauties prouder than sbe. "In a moment," he promised. "Now!" she screamed. "Release my hand instantly or I shall stop playing. Even if you are my partner I'm not going to have you give the impression that 1 haven't sense enough to play my nand." So, with a sigh, he gave her back her hand, though he knew she would bungle it, and they were playing for real money that day, too. She was a proud beauty. Detroit Free Press. !

Black silk stockings embroidered in gold and silver threads are expensive things unless one is able to do the work in odd moments instead of a less practical form of fancy work. Long, slender leaves, grasses and sprays of wheat are all among the decorative possibilities of this style of embroidery. Another advantage in embroidering one's own hosiery is that it is a mat ter of choice whether the effort is ex pended on a pair of such fineness as to prove an extravagance or on hosiery with silk mesh inset only from the instep to the calf, and of astonish ing durability. It would be impos sible to find these boot-top silk stock ings among the hand-embroidered type, and yet they prove tho most sat isfying for the girl who does her own ornamentation.
