I'liikliiitii, I.,vim, Mas*., fur atlviee as mhui an any disJi t CREAM SEPARATION. Simple llliißrnm Which Kxplslm as an I'oNHlblr llow Sep arator* Work. There Is no lrne of dema»kation be tween tli? sltim-iiiilk and the cream. In thecut is shown as nearly as ean bede seribed in a simple drawing the condi tion of the milk and cream. The milk enters the center of the bowl and of course there begins at once a separa tion. The sugar, albumen, casein and ' X ' ash as well as the water are hurried to the outside of the bowl and in accord with a fundamental law of physics that "no two bodies can occupy the same place at the same time," the fat is forced out and consequently finds itself Hear ing the center of the bowl. There is a gradual condensation of the cream from the outside to the center. At the innermost point the cream will contain nearly 50 per cent, butter fat, gradual ly decreasing until in a modern separa tor, the skiin-inilk, which is taken at the outside, will contain only a trace. The different separators have a slight ly varying contrivance for controlling the density of the cream, but in every instance the principle remains the same; when taken very near the center the volume is less and the fat content high. The amount of cream may be re duced until it cannot escape fast enough, and so if the milk supply is not diminished a portion of the fat will necessarily pass off in the skim-milk. On the other hand, if the cream screw is changed to increase the volume that is taking it out nearer to the outside of the bowl then we are securing a cream of less fat content, and this permission of increased outflow at the center of the bowl means a more ex haustive skimming. Hence to-day the test of a first-class machine is to run full capacity, skim clean, and deliver a cream containing 40 to 50 per cent, but ter fat.— ll. E. Cook, in Rural New Yorker. CHOICE BUTTER FLAVOR. It Depend* t'pon the I'me of Propev Starter* anil Due Attention to the ItipeninK of Creitm. It is safe to say that the principal defect in the quality of Canadian but ter, as in the butter from any other country, is in regard to the matter of flavor, said J. A. Reddick in an ad dress. The causes which give rise to this defect are many and not always easily located, but the buttermaker has a great advantage over the cheese maker, inasmuch as he has it within his power to control the flavor of the butter to a very great extent by the use of good flavored fermentation "starters," and by proper attention to the ripening of the cream. His failure to do this is one reason why the but ter is often inferior in flavor. Butter makers must study this question of ripening cream and the use of "start ers." The trouble is that very often the "starter" produces a bad flavor in stead of a good. one. When the farmer sows his seed he expects to reap what he sows. If he sows wheat he reaps a crop of wheat, but if the grain he uses is full of mustard seed I need not point out what the result will be. It is not possible to get fine flavored butter where bad starters are us»ed any more than it is to get a crop of wheat from the mustard seed. The difficulty is that many buttermakers apparently do not know the differen.ee between what is a proper starter and what is not. Ppim iiiml Oats (or Coin.

ASPARAGUS IN WINTER. lion Th In Splendid Vfcrlnlilc Can ttm tirouu SneeeNMftilly at All Sea son* of the Year. It may interest many of your read* •rs to hear something further on as paragus culture. Farmers, especially gardeners and also gentlemea who keep up a private garden, can have abundance of this vegetable duringtha winter, and it is during the winter that this crop brings handsome return, as well as being a great acquisition for the gentleman's table. Passing by antiquated methods wUhout comment for the more pro gressive by which this splendid vege table can be so easily grown, some Idea may be gathered from the cut. The buildingmay be of any size desired, and is best heated by steam. Two houses are shown. Suppose each house is 300. feet Ion? and 33 feet wide, tlie alleyway between them provides room for a team to draw manure for bank ing up the sides and also for conveni ence in the handling of sash. The advantage gained "ill readily be seen. Having run one house half the winter, the sash are taken from it and placed on house No. 2, when the heat is turned off No. 1 and onto the lat ter. which should bear until spring. Such a house need not exceed five feet in the center; a larger space would ne cessarily entail increased heating. The 600 three by six sash, half of them glass, and the other half may be tar paper, stacked in a nearby shed when not in use, will laft for many years, or until the building decays, when the crop also may begin to fag. While it is easy to place such a house over a well established bed. in making new beds to build over in the way in dicated, forcing plant development ■ ' '• L-_- . WINTER ASPARAGUS HOUSE. should be of first primary importance. Fairly good asparagus will come along with very little preparation or rare, but to have a tip top In-d, it would be as well that the soil be naturally pood, a yard thick at least. Rich bottom land full of nitrogen, carted and mixed with the higher porous soil, will take the place of manure to some extent, and is even better than an excess of ma nure. This will be found quite expeditious; plan out the grqtiml l to plow several times until the plow beam is down to the level of the surface, when the trenches can be made, and the plants placed in them. When the plants are well up, dip- a ditch between the rows, commencing by clearing six feet or so in this place half full of manure, con tinuing the trenching, throwing the earth forward on the manure.—W. I. Armstrong, in Country Gentleman. GROWING HORSERADISH. An Auxiliary Industry by Which Country Iloys and (ilrls Can Daru Pocket Money. A lady reader in Elyria, 0., asks how she should proceed to set out a Led of horseradish. She has quite a good mar ket for the grated horse-radish in her own vicinity. This latter is the case in many other localities, and it affuids a fine opportunity for any woman or a bright youngster with an eye to a lit tle extra pocket-money to secure it in a rather simple way. Any out-of-the way corner, where the ground is rich and moist, even in the back yard, es pecially near a sink-drain or sewer pipe, may be made use of for this pur pose. One of the best ways, where one will take the pains, is the "oid coun try" style of digging deep trenches, filling them up with rich old manure or a mixture of this with soil, and then setting the plants into it. The best sets are the long, slim side roots, of perhaps pencil thickness tvilhotit even a bit of top or green. You may not notice any eyes on them, hilt if given half a ehane,\ buds will form on Ihe upper part of the root, perhaps from the cut end, and push up to the surface, even if planted three or four Inches below the ground. I niin for long, straight roots. If a few inches of the surface-so'l, after the plants have made some growth, are removed from around each root, some or most of the side roots nriy be rubbed c ff, thus giving the one large, smooth root desired. Where horse-radish is grown on a large scale, the trenching method cannot well be, or is net, employed. I simply select deep, rich, moist soil work if up fine to as great a depth (ten or .12 inches) as tray Vie practica ble, and then drop the set* Into holes made with a small iron bar, so the tops may be a few inches below tfce surface.—Farm and Fireside.

This is a very common sight and is. almost always due to pelvic catarrh. It is worse than foolish for so many women to suffer year after year with a, disease that can be permanently cured. Peruna cures catarrh permanently. It cures old chronic cases as well as a slight attack, the only difference being in the length of time that it should be taken to effect a cure. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad vice gratis.
