Farm Notes.
—1t is still customary to place cream
in the old-time dash churn and work
ou until the “butter comes,” which
may require a long or short time, ac-
cording to circumstances. It was well
known to all farmers thatthe tempera.
tare must be * just right,” or there
would be difficulty, and churning was
more or less operated “in thedark” un-
til some enterprising person conceived
the idea ot using the thermometer in
the churn in order to know the correct
temperature required, and also to regu-
late the churning accordingly. At the
present day the dash churn has been
largely superseded by the barrel churn,
rectangular churn, and otber designs,
and in the creameries the appliances
are so complete as to permit of milk-
ing the cows, separating the cream and
churning into butter in a short time. In
fact, the experiment has been made of
milking the cow and using the butter
on the table for breakfast, which seems
incredible to some.
VARIATIONS IN TEMPERATURE.
—The tests of dairy cows at Chicago
show that there is no temperature for
churning that may be relied upon 28
“fixed.” At the beginning the temper-
ature of the cream from the milk of
the Jersey cows varied from 44 to 52
degrees, that from the Guernseys va-
ried from 42 to 46 degrees. and that
from the Shorthorns from 40 to 44 de-
grees. At the ending of the week the
cream from the Jersey herd varied
from 51 to 58 degrees, that from the
Guernseys from 47 to 54 degrees, and
that from the Shorthorns from 45 to 52
degrees. The average rise of tempera-
ture during churning, of the Jersey
cream, was 7.5 degrees, with an average
of 6 degrees for the Guernseys and 4.5
degrees for the Shorthorns. The
shortest time of churning Jersey cream
was 60 minutes and the longest 120
minutes. The shortest time in churn-
ing the Guernsey cream was 40 min-
utes and the longest 130 minutes,
while the shortest for the Shorthorns
was 40 minutes and the longest 95
minutes. It will be noticed that the
temperature of the cream varied during
churning, and that the time required
for “making the butter come” varied
widely also. :
NO FIXED LAW.
—The three breeds varied greatly in
the amount of cream contained in the
milk, and the individual cows of the
breeds differed also in quantity and
quality of product. As no two COWS
are alike in any respect, and as the
milk and butter differ not only in quali-
ty, but also inthe time required for
churning, no fixed rules can be settled
upon in the matter of churning. All
depends on the cow herself, and the re-
quirements in her case will not fit her
companions in the herd. Itis incum-
bent upon farmers, in the face of these
tests, to give greater attention to the
kind of cows they use, for not only is
the care and attention, as well as the
feed, potent factors with the breed, but
the labor of churning is also depend.
ent on the cows more than on the kind
of churn. . Dairying is a science, and
the more it is investigated the greater is
it made apparent that the heaviest loss
on the farm comes from the use of
the scrub cows.
—A litter of pigs will soon reduce a
sow to a thin condition. When they
are very young she can take good care
of them, and provide a sufficiency, but
each day's growth of the pigs makes
the task barder. The pigs should be
given skimmed milk in the trough, eo
as to induce them to feed as soon as
they are old enough. . The sow should
be fed often with ground grain, scald-
ed, and all the skimmed milk she will
accept, as well as given a mess of cut
clover hay, scalded, which she will
readily accept.
—Instead of cultivating too much
land the true system of successful
farming is to make an acre double its
crop. To do so the manure and ferti-
lizer should not be spread over a large
surface. It does not pay to give a
plant only half enough for its support ;
but rather to give it ali that it needs,
as will be the case when a small plot
receives the manure. Economy of la-
bor, and a leseening of the cost in ferti-
lizers, as well as larger profits from an
acre, will then be assured.
—Mutton sheep of the large breeds
do not thrive as well in large flocks as
the merinos, and when they are pas-
tured they should be confined with
portable fences, which will permit of
giving them a new location when de-
sirable. Less land will thus be re
quired, and the sheep will thrive bet
ter than when too many are together,
and when they are compelled to forage
over a large area.
--No crop is benefitted more by a
fine seedbed than wheat, though the
seed is more often sowed or drilled on
land that is full of lumpor clods.
The land for wheat should be har
rowed down as fine. as for turnip seed.
and the effects of such preparation will
be noticed in the growth of the wheat.
When the soil is fine the drill does bet-
ter work in seeding.
—Do not bury your cabbages with
the heads in the ground. Try placing
the roots in the ground, with the heads
out, and cover with hay and cornstalks.
They will keep well and also give a
crop of sprouts in the spring.
—A strong solution of tansy, used on
horses and cattle by sponging them, is
said to be an excellent preventive
against flies and other insects.
—Late Russian papers say that
crops in that empire do not exceed a
good average.
—-Salsify is a hardy plant, and may
be left in the ground all wiater, need-
ing no covering or protection.
Ubiquitous And Many-Eyed.
Flies and the Mystery of Whence Thoy Come in
the Early Summer. :
The question of where flies come from
is asked many times during the the sum-
mer, says the Boston Herald. I: is al-
ways a mystery to the woman who bas
her house well screened how even one of
the little pests can get in. The parents
of a goed many of them were probably
housed the year be fore, when in the au-
tumn vigilance was relaxed, and per-
haps a door or window left unguarded.
With the instinct with which nature
has provided them they crept into the
warm house, into cracks not perceptible,
and there they hibernated. There too,
they lay their eggs, 177 to each fly, thus
looking out for the propagation of the
race; and so, when the first warm days
come, they surprise us by buzzing away
on the windows or around the table. In
the meantime the eggs are hatching,
and by “fly time” they come forth in
swarms. Sometimes in the dead of win-
ter a fly will appear, beguiled from his
resting place by the deceptive warmth
of the furnace-heated house. He seems
a harbinger of spring, and perhaps one
may be inclined to pet it a bit. Don’t
doit. Xill it and thus put an end to
a prospective future generation of flies.
They are natural scavengers. Their
purpose in life is to consume various
substances which are thrown off from
the human body, by articles of focd,
and by almost every animal and vege-
table production when in a state of
change. These substances are given out
in such small quantities they are im-
perceptible to common observers and
not removable by ordinary methods of
cleanliness, even in the best kept rooms.
When a fly persists in crawling over
one’s face, it is merely taking care of the
particles of dead matter thrown off
through the pores and which helps to
keep the complexion clean. So it is
really doing good while it annoys. As
a common fly has about four thousand
eyes it is no wonder it is so hard to catch
or that it evades the blows aimed atit.

The Solar Disturbances,
Beyond any reasonable doubt the im-
mense eruption from the sun’s eyclo-
pean furnaces is the primary cause of
the earth’s extensive magnetic distur-
bance and the resulting auroral display
which has just excited so much wonder.
It is not unlikely that electrical im-
pulses originating in the sun at tke out-
break of the big spot may be communi-
cated to other planets besides our own.
It is an old conclusion of meteorologists
like Marie Davy that during extraor-
dinary sun spot outbreaks ‘‘general
movement of the atmosphere in high
latitudes and over the Atlantic’’ almost
invariably take place. It is true that
no direct and absolute connection has
yet been discovered between the solar
and terrestrial storms. But this conclu-
sion is far from being unfounded or fan-
ciful. It would require but a slight ae-
cleration of the grand mass of the anti-
trade wind current to gradually intensity
a cyclone while crossing the Atlantic.
Between meridians in which the regular
current is narrowed by an anti-cyclone
pressing on it latterally (either upon its
southern or its northern edge) the effect
would be to quicken its movements and
to add greatly to the intensity of any
cyclone eddy borne along on the axis of
the accelerated current. And 1t will
not tax the imagination of vulcanolo-
gists too severely to find also a possible
connection between the earth’s recent
magnetic perturbation, following the
solar eruption and the eruption of Vesu-
vius now reported.
It is too early to form positive con-
clusions as to all the terrestial effects of
tee present solar disturbance. But, con-
sidering that the era of increasing sun
spots has arrived, it is evidently of im-
mense importance, not only to physical
science but to all of the interests of the
world, that the relations between these
phenomena should be made the subject
of systematic, profound and increasing
research.— New York Herald.
