HINTS ARE GIVEN ON MAKING BUTTER Quality Is Big Factor In De termining Price ■d „ ■ Most people who try to make but ter find that it Is a very hard Job to do right. When it is put on the market they find oftentimes that it does not bring the top price. The reason for this is that it is lacking in quality. The following hints for making good butter are given by Prof. Wil liam H. Howell, Dairy Husbandman of the Georgia State College of Agri culture. Use a floating dairy thermometer and do not guess at temperatures. Milk and cream should be ripened or "turned" at 65 or 70 degrees Fahren heit. Stir milk or cream occasionally while it is "turning” or ripening. Reg ulate the temperature of milk or cream (before churning is begun) so the butter will come in about thirty minutes. NEVER pour warm or hot water into the cream or milk. Be sure to scald and cool chum and other utensils before using. Strain cream into church to remove lumps of curd or clabber and add enough color (a pure vegetable prod uct) before starting the churn, to give the butter a deep straw color. After a few revolutions, open the chum to allow the gas to escape. When the butter particles have attained the size of grains of wheat or small gar den peas, stop churning. Draw off buttermilk through a coarse strainer to catch particles of butter, which otherwise would be lost. The butter should be washed Until the water is clear. Salt the butter In the granular condition, using a heaping tablespoonful of salt to each pound of butter. Work the butter only enough to dissolve the salt. Mould the butter into brick-shaped S rints and wrap it in butter paper 8 iches wide and 11 inches long. Prac tice shows that all utensils should be rinsed with cool or lukewarm water to remove milk, and washed thor oughly with brush, using hot water in which washing soda has been dis solved. Never use soap. Scald all utensils with boiling water and let them dry from the heat that is left in them. NEVER use a dishcloth in the dairy work for washing or drying any utensil. GIVE THE DAIRY COW THE BEST OF CARE - ■■ ■ / Feed Her Kindness And Watch Results Perhaps In some sections of the country more attention has been giv «n to the proper and scientific feed ing ol the dairy cow than in others. The question of feeding a cow to get a maximum production is by no means a recent one. Farmers in new dairy sections are constantly demand ing the best ration to feed their cows. 1 The answer to this question is the ra tion which has as its basis the idea of greatest production at the least cost. Oftentimes it may not be necessary to consider the matter of cost. This, of course, only occurs where milk Is con sidered a by-product of the business rather than the main source of reve nue. A breeder must provido favor able conditions for his herd aside from furnishing the right amount and kind of feed. These conditions are as follows, says Prof. T. G. Yaxis, Georgia State College of Agriouiture: The stables should be well lighted. At least four square feet of gluss space should be provided for each cow. Pure air is necessary. To obtain this condition a proper system of ven tilation should be installed. This is very inexpensive and easy to install. Every dairy should be provided with the proper ventilation in order that the health of the animals may be the best at all times. Pure and abundant water should be readily available. Water not only as sists in the proper digestion of the different feeds that the cow con sumes, but it is also necessary to fur nish the large amount of water that milk contains. Eighty-seven per cent of milk is water. A cow needs as much as ten to twelve gallons of wa ter a day. Salt should be fed regularly. At least one ounce a day should be given either alone or mixed with the grain. Perhaps the most important of all the points given under conditions is kindness. Feed kindness to a cow, and yon will reap wonderful results. Unnecessary noise, pushing cows, roughly handling them, dogs and clubs have absolutely no place in th# dairy stable if high production is the goal.

Build a sweet potato storage house of wood, as it is drier than brick, j stone or concrete. It is easier to op -1 erate in regulating temperature. Never use a “dug out,” as it is very expen sive and cannot be kept dry. The house should be placed 12 to 15 inches above ground, so that the air will cir culate freely beneath it. A 20x40 foot house, 9 feet high at the eaves will hold 2,600 to 3,000 bushels. These potatoes may be placed in the house In bins or in some other manner. A plan that has proven very successful in many storage houses has been to use bushel boxes for storing the pota toes. These boxes may be taken di rectly to the field at harvesting, filled, carried to the house and piled in blocks of 500 bushels. Then, there is no reason to rehandle the potatoes until they are ready for market or the market is ready for them. A house 20x40 feet is built as fol lows: Build three rows of pillars, two under sides and one under center of house. Let these pillars be at least 12 inches above .the ground. Use 6xß or Bxß sill on top of pillars. On top of sill place 2xß or 2xlo sleepers 24 inches apart. On the sleepers a floor ! of ship lap or matched boards Is laid, 1 then a layer building paper and 01 that matched flooring. The walls are built by placing 2x4 studding 24 inches apart. On the outside put a layer of ship lap, on it a layer of building paper, and on the outside a layer of weatberboardlng. On inside put two layers of ship lap and between them a layer of building paper. Al low the inside wall to cover both stud ding and rafters, thus running to top of house. In south Georgia the weath erbosrdlng will be sufficient for out side wall. The side* should be well tied together to prevent spreading. Use 2x4 every four feet over bin par titions for this purppse. THIS CONFEDERATE “VET” MARRIED ELVEN TIMES. 1 « Samuel .1. Ki110w,7714 1 years old, an ex Confederate soldier of Wal nut Ridge, Ark., lias taken his lltn bride. Wife No. 11 was Mrs. Agnes O'Neal. Following are extracts from the log of Mr. Killow’s voyage on the turbulent matrimonial seas.: On December 2G, 1868, he was mar ried to Miss Mary Jane Patterson. She died in 1873, leaving two chi!- \ then. In IS7 * he married Lucretia San- j tiers, who, as he expensed it, “soon ! i out loose from me.” In 1882 he was married to Nancy.i I Jane Ellison, who died in 1892. In 1894 lie was married to Sarah Ann Holcomb, who lived about four years. Some time later Mr. Killow mar-1 ried Elizabeth Hawes. Elizabeth left j him "with the sack to hold,” as lie l explains it. Soon afterward lie married Mary I Jane Robertson, who lived with him 1 a short time and then left for parts j ' unknown. Mr. Killow then united with Mary j I Acres, a widow with six children, but j they soon disagreed and quit. The next marriage was with Aman- j I da McCritchen, who had five chldren. 1 j She died. The ninth marriage was to Vinnie Melton. Mr. Killow says they did not live together long enough to get well j acquainted. Killow’s marital log hook makes no mention of his tenth plunge into the ! matrimonial sea. but he admits that | | something like that occurred. I Try the News for Job Printing. i fc/AKLV CUUNTY NEWS Leave space between the walls open for it keeps house dryer. The air space is as good an insulator as saw dust and keeps out moisture if the plans given are followed. Thorough ventilation is necessary. Put a window every ten feet. In house 20x40 feet put ventilator 8 inches square in each corner and on each side of stove. Also 2 ventilators are placed in top of building. Doors should be tight fitting and similar to an ice door. Windows should be of the same kind and open outward. Make doons and windows so that they can be well padded. Ven tilator in roof should extend above ceiling to carry out warm air. All ventilators should be provided with tight-fitting covers. Provide cover for venilators on top of house to keep out rain. The bins shown here are 4 feet wide by 7 1/2 feet long. Sides and bottoms made of Ix 4 slats. They are placed 6 inches from inner wall and 4 inches above floor. This facilitates circulation round and under bins. Some store the potatoes in house in crates thus eliminating the bins. But when stored in crates the potatoes must have the same ventlation as when stored in bins. In the middle of house a stove is placed. A fire is started when the workmen begin storing the potatoes and the house is kept at a tempera ture of 80 to 100 degrees until pota toes are cured. This is about ten days. Let hot moisture laden air out through ventilators. After curing pe riod is over, gradually lower the tem perature to 65 degreeß during remain* der of storing period.
