The causes of deterioration in but- ter are briefly discused in Iowa Bulle- tin No. 71, and experiments to deter. mine whether the keeping quality of butter is affected by its content of moisture and by the quality of wash water used in its manufacture are reported. The result of experi ments with butter made under uni form conditions except as re amount of working, were considered as Indicating that the butter contain- ing the smaller amount of moisture possessed the better Keeping quality though the individual experiments did not justify such a conclusion. Inei- dentally in this connection, the au- thors discuss the effect of working up- on the water cluding that trol moisture is churning. In each of three experi butter from one-half of a vat ed cream was wasoed with well water and the batter from other churned under the same conditions was washed with well water that had been pasteurized and cooled. In each of two experiments, ene portion of the cream was also pasteurized before ripening Pasteurization of the wash water improved greatly the keeping quality of the butter, and pasteuriza- tion of both and wash water had a still more favorable effect In each of three other experiments, butter from one-half of a vat of well ened cream was not washed at all, fle the butter from other half was washed with unpasteurized well water. The unwashed kept as well as the washed butter and in some instances kept about forty days When the was? quality. it is as good or tained by well out of the washing content of butter proper before or time to con- during the men's the yf ripet the cream the the butter better.

In erecting a fence to keep in fowls many make a mistake in running wooden rails along the top from post to post, to which they attach the wire walling, whereas if they would cable wire instead and strain walling to this cable by using lacing wire the inmates of the yard would not make any attempt to fly over: be. sides the cable wire is much being paater unsightly rails For a a free run is obtainable, Buff and White locks and some strains of Barred Rocks are as good a8 any, although as a general rule we consider all of the varieties of Rocks lay too small an egg for the food ¢ they they consume, and are inclined to be. come to fat after their first rank in the first ers The Wyandotte family are an excel lent all round breed, good layers of fair average sized oggs, and as a table fowl have very few equals, are great foragers, and hardy.

FEEDING PROFITABLY. The feeding of stock both during growth and to properly finish for mar- ket, should be done on business prin- ciples, says a writer In Successful Farming. The amount of food required to rake a pound of grain should be known as well as the manner of com. bining the different materials, so as to form the best results to secure the purpose for which it is being given. It is necessary to know what it tosts to grow an animal for market, and this can only be known by know- {ng the value of pasturage and feed given. Get the cost of properly fitting an animal for market and it is com- paratively easy when (it Is sold to know whether or not it has returned a fair profit.

This may be true if patriotism means a passionate desire for the welfare of one's country; but if a consuming desire for the pre servation of national identity is pa. triotism, then the Coreans are indeed patriotic. The one thing they fear Is national extinction, whether such ex tinction would mean better govern. ment or not. They would rather live without equitable government, with. out sanitation, without education, without any of the concomitants of civilization, If with these they must also accept foreign domination.
