i FOR BUTTER AND CHEESE. Makers of butter and cheese have found large advantage in using bac teria cultures as starters in their work. These are commercial starters on the market, but a recent bulletin of the Michigan station tells how every one may make their own start ers, and they are ‘inexpensive. The bulletin says: : “Some of the commercial starter usually employed is put into sterilized whole mitk and allowed to develop there for twenty-four hours at a fa. voraghle temperature. For ease in maanipulation the milk is sterilized inh a quart bottle plugged with cot. ton. On the second day a portion of this milk transferred to another bottle of sterile milk to continue the growth of the organisms, and the mainder poured into a can of res cently pasteurized skim milk. The latter is again kept for twenty-four hears at a temperature favorable to the growth of the organisms, and is hen used as a starter for sweet cream.

The Drovers’ Journal | says that draft horses bred now are of greater weight than they were a decade ago, as the trend of demand i# for horses of weight to move pon- deroug loads at a moderate pace. A 1400-pound horse is hardly large enough for an expresser, while the industrial draft horse weighs 1600 pounds to upward of a ton. A pair of extreme weight drafters will haul 2 load of six to eight tons and are more economical of maintenance than two pairs of lighter horses that would be required (o perform the same work. The general farmer wants a horse of docile disposition, adapted to work on the farm and easily marketed at a good price. With so many heavy agricultural machines on the farm the draft horse can be utilized to bet. ter advantage in general field work than can any other class. Draft horses are free sellers at rood prices from weanlings to mature classes. Their superb qualities have ween acquired by centuries of meth _0dical gelection and breeding and they “have achieved a permanent place in the commerce of nations. Prices may fluctuate with the times, but good draft horses will always return the farmer a reasonable profit on the cost of nenduction. HICKORY DISAPPEARING. Automobile and carriage umsnufac turers, along with the men of the al lied vehicle industries, are giving very ration to the question of the future supply of hickory tim: ber. For auwlomoblle and carriage wheels, where strength, toughness and resiliency are essential qualities, no other wood has been found in this country that will take the place of hickory. Manufacturers say that no steel or wire spoke has yet been found that will withstand the wear and tear of the hickory spoke, and for this rea son the welfare of the vehicle industry seems dependent upon the conserva tion of the hickory supply. In a re port of the tests made by H. B. Hol royd, forest assistant, and H, 8S. Betts, engineer in the timber tests, the Forest Service, the fact is brought that there is an error of over 50 cent. in the grading of vehicle largely to the prejudice of the manufacturers against the use of It is shown that in clear weight, the red hic as strong as the white, By ing this fact to the attention of manufacturers it hoped that much of the hickory which was form. left in woods will be ultilized by the trade, and thus pro long the rapidly disappearing supply hickory American users will to pres ent supply and take steps to guarantea a future by encouraging planting of the tree whose wood is becoming more precious year. of per due weight for kory is bring iy as waste the hickory be obliged consirve the supply pri each Ee GOOD CLOVER SEED.
