The preparation uS cream for churning is an act that only a very amail proportion of even good dairy men fully understand. The old the ory of the witches in the cream some times seems, to very good dairy managers, to lie the only jiossible explanation of its p-euliar action. Many a batch of cream has been churned upon for hours with no aji parcnt effect, because it was not properly tempered. Call the nttcn tion of the jroor sufferer to the condi tion of his cream, and fie at once insists tiiat it was nil right when lie liegan : he tested it, and the ther mometer stood at 62 . Hut half the world cannot understand, and the other half w ill not, that the thermom eter may indicate G2 1 in a hatch of cream, and not a single globule of the butter fat be heated above 4.1 or 50\ There are lots of old fogy notions in men's heads that they will not give up, though the stars fall. Most but ter makers, when they are about to churn, heat up their cream to the j traditional standard and put it into the churn, sup|ioaing that they have done just the right thing. One of | the best butter makers in this coun try, (lie does not live in Vermont), found by experience that he always | got better results if lie heated his cream to 60', and held it there 12 : hours before churning. Another whose goods have taken very high rank, and whose methods are very regular, prepares her cream by licat | ing it to 00 , and letting it fail hack from that to 60 . Neither could give the rationale of the ojieration, but isith accomplished precisely the same result, hut by two different processes —that is, they bring the cream glob ules to the standard temperature. The explanation of the phenomena is that the fatty part of the cream does not absorb heat so -rapidly as the other portions. Only by the pro tracted holding of the mass at 60° can the fatty portion lie brought to that temperature without raising the other portion higher. Several other points are involved, but this tho most important. Washing Bheep Worse than Useless. lion A.a. Allen. As usually conducted this is a cruel, barbarous custom ; and there is no lienefit to lie derived from it, and frequently a considerable loss from the chill given to the sheep, causing a cold, followed by internal inflam mation and death. The day this is done may lie warm and sunny, but the river or |iond water aliil cold, and the sheep, after being washed, are obliged to retain their wet fleeces so long, even if they escape a cold, as to make it quite injurious to them. Unless turned into a clean grass pas ture immediately, sheep will gather up as great a weight of dirt before shearing as was washed out of them, so that the wool gains no benefit from the ablution. Hut if it did, it would lie all the same to the manu facturer, because before being worked up into cloth, all wool has to be thoroughly cleansed by his own more thorough process, so whether it be a little more or less dirt is of no conse quence to him. The only trouble is when selling the- wool, the purchaser haggles for the greatest possible dis count he can obtain in consequence of the dirt. Yet with people of good judgment, who are accustomed to breeding sheep or handling their fleeces, this necessary allowance is easily and fairly got at. If sheep run in a clean pasture during the Hummer, and sre kept in well-littered yards during the Winter, and their iieeoee properly tagged before shearing, they will show so little dirt aa to be unob jectionable to tbe buyer, and be can easily guess what the cleansed might net to the manufacturer. Currant* ami Their Cultivation. From "JfotTOHM hh Small Fruit*,' in Prr\hm*r f"t April. The first requisite is, not wetness, hut abundant and continuous rnois | ture. Soil naturally deficient in this, and which cannot bo made drouth resisting by deep plowing and culti vation, is not adapted to the currant, because the currant is found wild in bogs it does not follow that it can l>e grown successfully in undrnincd swamps. It will do better in such places than on dry, gravelly knolls, | or on thin, light soils, hut our fine i civilized varieties need civilized con ; ditions. The well-drained swamp may become the very best of currant fields; and damp, heavy land, that is capable of deep, thorough cultivation, should la: selected, if possible. When such is not to be bad, then by deep plowing, sub-soiling, by abundant mulch around the plants throughout the summer, and by occasional water ings in the garden, counteracting the effects of lightness and dryness of soil, skill can go far in making good nature's deficiencies. Next to depth of soil and moisture the currant requires fertility. It is justly called one of the "gross feed ers,'' and is not particular as to the quality of its food so that it is abundant. I would still suggest, however, that it be fed according to its nature with heavy composts, in which rnuck, leaf-mold and tLc clean ings of the cow stable are largely present. Wood ashes and bone meal are also most excellent. If stable or other light manures must be used I would suggest that they lie scattered litre rally on the surface in the fall or early spring, aud gradually worked in by cultivation. Thus used, their light heating qualities will do no harm, and they will keep the surface ! mellow and therefore moist. Shall We Mow the Clover or Plow it Down? i • in I'rariit nl Fjuuief. There is an idea with many fanners that the benefit derived from clover comes mostly from the plowing under of the tope. I lrelieve this to be a mistake. The roots of the clover weigh more than the tops, and by their decay in the soil furnish a large amount of plant food, and in addition have an im|ortant mechanical effect on the soil, and those who have marie I careful exjieriments have found near i!y or quite as great lienefit to the soil from a clover crop, when it was removed and the stubble plowed un der. as when the growth of top was all plowed under. I had a field in | clover last summer that was intended for wheat, and I plowed a part of it under in June when the clover had made its full growth ; the remainder I cut for hay and when it had made a light growth of the second crop I plowed it under; the wheat is much the best on the part from which the first crop was removed, and the hay which I made was worth ten dollars an acre to me for feed. The Boiling System. IT* AIVAXTAuRA BRIEFLY M MMKTt t P. j the F*rai Journal. The three prominent advantages are: 1. At least three times as many animals may lie fed by the cut feed as could be obtained by grazing, owing to the animals not treading down the plants, and to the stronger growth when the plants can reach full size, than when grazed short. 2. The in crease in the quantity of milk by almut 20 per cent., in consequence of keeping the animals quiet and awav from the annoyance of flies. .1. The manufacture of valuable manure. When the cows have the run of the pasture, they spend much of the time in hot weather in the shade stamping and switching flies; when in the sta ble with the doors closed, the flies give them little trouble, and they eat freely. 4. Fences may be dispensed | with. Keep' Less Stock in Bnmmer, and More in the Winter. j C..1, Vninig.nn Valt.tailing nod tummting F.-rMlit.. A majority of the farmcra of this country now keep too large a stock in the summer season, whereby too much of the substance of the land ia consumer), and too small a stock in the winter to make sufficient manure for the manuring seasons. If this rule were changed, it would aid large ly in increasing the fertility of their farms. The fertility of farina can not lie maintained by constant! y draining off substance, any more than can a meal bag contain meal it you arc always taking out and put ting nothing in. Tiik great work before the agricul tural journalist in this country con sists principally in teaching and enforcing the true principlea of aci entitle farming 6y which the toil may he recuperated. The production of crops upon good soil, it Is true, may be greatly increased both in quality and quantity by the adoption of scientific methods; but that ia not the moat important field for. scien tific exploration. If science will induce or enable the farmers to restore the soil to a condition of pro ductiveness, the crop questions will give but litUe trouble. With good soil it ia easy enough to raise good crops. A good soil ia the beet safe guard against a wet season or a dry season ; and aa for insects, it ia the only safe and reliable exterminator.
