Every year the line Is being drawn more closely about dairy products and each succeeding year brings an Increased demand for strictly first class grades and a weaker demand for the poorer ones. In all proba bility the time Is not tar distant when it will be almost impossible to dis pose of poor butter at all, except as grease and at grease prices. Not withstanding all that is said against imitation butter, it Is a truth that the meanest, filthiest Imitation of all is made from genuine cow's milk, but in such a slovenly, incompetent manner that all value and trace of genuineness have been eliminated. Epitomlst. -i A LOW POULTRY RUN. A safe and secure poultry run that requires less material than a high pen can be made from laths sawed in two, which would make the sides two feet high, making the frame of scant lings and the top of sawed laths, box boards or similar material. The top of the run should consist almost en tirely of trap doors, using bits of old harness for hinges, which will look well if cut neatly. The illustration shows one of the doors propped up to show the construction more plainly. The doors are four feet long, the length of a lath, and may be eight or ten feet the other way and still not be clumsy, being constructed of such light material. - This trap door is an important fea ture, as it permits the tender to enter easily for removing top soli and re placing with fresh earth or other car ing for the birds. The frame material Is of 2x2-inch scantling at the' corners, A Useful Poultry Coop. while the side strips are made bt Inch ards sawed-twoinches wide.- The earth under this Bhould be slightly mounded for the-fike of. dryness. Farm and Homo ... '. - . . . NEW METHOD OF. CHURNING. . A new .method 'of. churning butter has been patented by a native of Fin land,. A. H. Borgstrom, says the Pa cific Dairy Review, which consists of churning the butter at a temperature in the vicinity of the freezing point. At this temperature the butter will not "break," the claim being, how ever, that the nature of the cream is so changed that by heating same to a temperature which permits of the for mation, of butter, the "breaking" takes place almost instantaneously. The advantage claimed for this method is that "overchurning" can not take place; that less butter fat is left in the buttermilk and that the body of the butter Is Improved and has greater keeping quality. It is further claimed that the loss of but ter fat in churning sweet cream is largely overcome by this method of churning. There Is no record given in the advices of any long continued practical tests, but If the method has the merits claimed for It it will cer tainly change the methods of butter making. GETTING CLOVER STARTED. In some sections of Illinois there has not been much headway made in getting clover started. It seems that on some fields the clover plants do tolerably well, so long as tbey have shelter of the nurse plants. But when the nurse grain is taken oil the plant soon turns yellow and dies. We have all presumed that clover failure wa due to soil acidity, or to lack of humus, but clover often fails where neither of these things should be the cause. It has also been com monly supposed that clover would run out after a few years, that is, it would sicken and die. It appears that clover exhausts certain elements of the soil; and -while a piece of land may not grow clover, it may product abundantly of other crops. But this does not help ns out of the matter of getting a fresh piece of land set. I have always advised liberal manur ing of old fields which were to be seeded, but this will not always fetch clover. We must look further. The Tennessee station has discovered an anthracnese, fungus growth, which may be the source of the trouble. TMi attacks newly seeded as well as old fields, and as yet no means have been found to combat it. L. C. B.. in the Indianapolis Farmer. f 1. HORTICULTU; X2 HINTS 1 FOR SAN JOSE SCALE.

Low headed apple trees are now generally grown in commercial or chards. The time to start the trees to be low headed is In the early maturity of the young tres when transplanted to the young orchard. It often takes courage to cut back the top of the young fruit trees, but it should be done when a low tree is desired. Farmers' Home Journal. - PENTSTEMONS. There Is something very charming about a bed of Pentstemons in bloom a qualntness that to the lover of old-fashioned garden blossoms never falls to appeal. Seed Bown now in heat and brought on in the company of stocks, asters, etc., will furnish plants that will give both bloom and beauty in August; Like many other plants, Pentstemons respond to good culture, and a bed of loamy soil en riched with half-rotted dung will suit them. Indianapolis News. PEAS AND OATS. I wish to sow three or four acres of well-rotted and manured ground this spring with peas and oats. Can I sow my peas and plow them under (plowing shallow), then narrow, sow my oats and harrow them in and get a good crop, or would you advise drilling oats and peas together? C. L. M. It the soil is not too heavy, It It is a sandy loam, the peas may be plowed under to a depth of four Inches. On clay loams it is well to sow with grain drill, hitching up the neck straps short and weighting the teeth of the drill to sow deep. Ex perience has shown that the oats may be sown later, when the peas have Bprouted, sowing broadcast, then harrowing In lightly to bury the oats and to kill the little weeds. At the experiment stations, this method has worked well. So also has the method of sowing both sorts of seed together, though the peas should be drilled in much deeper than the oats. The peas also should be sown earlier than the oats- to give them a fair start. Country Gentleman. FORSYTHIAS. The most glorious flowering shrub for very early spring is the forsythla, also known as golden bell. It grows to a height' of eight and even ten feet, and has a wonderful yellow flame of blossoms that absolutely hide the branches before a single leaf appears. The branches arch over and make a delightful shrub that is satisfactory all the year. It will make its finest show it planted against a dark background. Give each plant plenty of room, for the branches will spread widely and will finally bend to the earth again and root at the tips. It is little troubled by insects, and needs only slight pruning. There are several varieties. The one described here is forsythla suspensa, and It is by far the most satisfactory. Young plants, from two to three years old, and - about two feet high, can - be bought for twenty-five cents each. For a fine group, plant three or four of these, giving each plant from four to five feet of clear space around It. One plant will be sufficient for a small place. Do not set this shrub in the middle of an open space. It needs, background. Indianapolis News. NEWLY SET PLANTS. Newly transplanted plants always demand more or less protection from the blighting effects of too much sun and wind. It is best achieved by making a shelter such as is shown in the cut. ' Two ten-foot poles and two three foot pieces of any .convenient thick ness for the crosspleces, with four fourteen-inch weatherstrips for the legs, constitute the frame. In the middle of it two hooks should be in serted on each side, and upon these the covering fastened, which can thus be adjusted very quickly. The cover ing may consist of burlaps or any kind of rough sacking. 3 Frames to Protect Small Plants. Being so simple and economical to make, it is advisable to have enough frames to protect the number of ten der plants that are set out In a garden at one time, says Farm and Home. They possess other advantages than sheltering, the young things from the direct rays of the sun.' They allow slow, evaporation, and so keep newly watered ground moist for hours, whereas if exposed to the sun and wind it would soon become dry and caked. On windy days it Is necessary to let the sacking down on the wind ward Side of the shelter. In case of frost the protection that they afford Is of inestimable value. FUSE 1 HI J1FJQ 3.

Rabbits lnnoculated with tobacco extract, with nicotine and with adrenalin, all showed marked thickening and dilation of the walls of the aorta, or main artery. The Alpine Journal publishes a full account of the recent ascent of Kabru, near Darjeeling, by two Nor wegian climbers, Messrs. Monrad-Aas and Rubenson. The height of the peak, according to the Indian Survey measurements. Is 24,015 feet. The oncoming of darkness turned the climbers back before the. could quite reach the top; but they report that they pitched their highest camp at 22,000 feet, and succeeded In attain ing an elevation of "about 23,000 feet." This, so far as Is known, is a record. A special Inflammation of the eyes ophthalmia electrics seems to have become common among workers with electric light apparatus, and now Dr. Cnellitzer has pointed out to the Berlin Medical Socle'.y that the trouble may result from very brief exposure to strong glare. In an electric melting of Iron at an engine factory an enormous arc of fifty thou sand candle power was produced. Workmen passing within six or eight yards were warned not to linger, yet on the next day twelve of the men sought medical advice, reporting pain in the eyes, profuse lachrymation, spasm of the eyelids and headache. Ultra violet rays are the suggested active cause. The usual method of using solar heat has been to concentrate the sun's rays by mirrors, but in the simpler apparatus with which Frank Shu man has teen experimenting at Ta cona, Pa.; the direct rays have been made to heat a boiler box with a double glass top. An air space of one inch between the two layers of glass forms a Jacket preventing escape of heat by radiation. Water in tho pipes generated steam with a pressure of fifteen pounds, which was made to drive an engine, and by ens ploying either a pressure of ninety pounds was reached.

Thomas Dixon Points Out Slumps In Churches. There are fewer Baptists, Metho dists and Presbyterians in New York today than there were 25 years ago, though the city's population has beeu more than doubled. . The rapid ex tinction of churches of these denom inations in Manhattan during the past decade shows this. In 1896 the- Bap tists reported C4 churches. Last year they only claimed 48. Many of these claims are pitiful absurdities mere names of mission halls and soup kitchens, supported by the char ity of one or two rich men. One half of them represent hopes as yet unfulfilled, declares Thomas Dixon, Jr., in Broadway Magazine. The same thing is true of the Methodists, who reported 73 churches In 1890 and only claim 59 in 1907. The Presbyterians reported 71 In 1890 and .only 67 last year. - " In the year 1840 New .York City had one church to every 1,800 In population. Last year we 'could not find one church to 4,000 population, counting all our soup kitchens and mission halls ns -"churches." There are many sections of the city which are practically pagan. One district of 10,000 population, which Is typical of many more, has one saloon to 111 Inhabitants, and one church to 8,190. - 1 In another large district there are some 50,000 inhabitants, with a sa loon to every 10,000. In the section between Twenty-fourth and Fifty ninth streets west' of Ninth avenue there Is but one church to 15,000; while the district between Fortieth and Sixty-fourth streets west of Tenth avenue contains 40,503 people, and has but one church. ; - And the sad part of the story is that many of these churches that are reckoned on the map as living and performing their duties to these vast populations are dead and don't know It. Crime Increasing. Crime Is Increasing rapidly In New York city. There were more com plaints, more indictments, more charges preferred and more cases tried during the last half year than In any six months In the history of the city, and the Increase has been in much larger proportion than the In crease in population, which is estimat ed at G5.000.. .

The growth of plants Is known to be stimulated by weak electric cur rents applied to the soil, but it has not been supposed, to be economical to use electricity for conversion Into heat for warming hotbeds, as has been done by G. Hartman In his experi ments at Turbine, Ont His heater consists of about 200 feet of one-twelfth-tnch iron wire wound in seven two-Inch coils on one and one-half-inch Iron pipe, the coils, connected In series, being mounted on porcelain knobs on a piece of abestos board. A frame about 6 by 8 feet in size has a floor, on which Is about five inches of soil,- and the top of tho frame is covered with two sashes. The heater Is placed under the floor. Current is taken from a 110-volt circuit, but the energy actually received last year was flf:etn amperes at eighty volt3. This gave sufficient heat. The hotbed was kept quite warm, and tender flowers and vegetables developed rapidly In the early spring weather. The Bristol to Paddington (Eng ln .1) express covers 118V, miles In two hours.
