E 'riilwtb Do the Work ls when - _Butter ls ln Small Granules- ' Always Use Pure Water. Thelobiest of washing butter is to remove the buttermilk. The only way that this can be dons properly is to wssh the butter when _it is in small granules so that the largest possible 'surface is exposed to the water. To try to remove buttermilk by working it out of the butter is not effective; moreover, the excessive working in. juree the grain and _body of the butter. While the last of the buttermilk is draining oi! the wash water should be prepared. Only pure, clean wash water should be used, and it phouig be twice the quantity of and at about the same temperature as the butter- milk. The water should be placed in ii pail or other receptacle and its temperature determined with a ther. mometer; if necessary it should be tempered by the addition of either warm water or 'ce. if the butter granules are too soft or too hard the temperature of the wash may be either a few degrees warmer or cold- er than the buttermilk. Warm water has the same effect upon the body of ‘the butter as high churning temper- -xi-1-@-.m Washin| Utensils lmmsdiatsiy After Malling luttsr. atures, whereas cold water makes the butter so hard that it can bo worked only with great diiliculty, and if very cold, the proper incorporation of the saft is practically impossible. After ~the‘ buttermilk has been drawn oi! the cork is replaced and one-halt the wash water is poured into the shura. The cover of the churn is t en replaced and the churn given about four rapid revolutions. The wash water is drawn off and the washing rc&eated. Two washlngs are usually su cient, the second wash water when drawn off usually being almost perfectly clear. While the wash water is draining oi! the worker should be rinsed again with hot water followed by s thor- ough rinsing and cooling with cold water. This must be done immedi- stely before using, because if the worker ii slightly dry the butter will stick to it. The lever worker is wide- ly used and gives satisfactory results, though other types do inet as sood work. The butter, which is still in the granular condition, is removed from the churn with the ladle and placed in a convenient receptacle for weigh- ing. The old-fashioned butter bowl is convenient, and this is the only use that should be made of it. The butter having beenweighed the quan- tity of salt is weighed, and this should be calculated on the basis of three-fourths of an ounce for each pound of butter. The quantity lilly be varied to`suit personal taste or the requirements of the market. The best grade‘of'butter salt or table sslt shonidbe used. The butter is placed upon the worker, 'spread out about two inches;'}.hicll. and the salt. free of lumps, li ted ‘upon it. The b\Iii9\‘ is thenpressed with the lever or oth- er device, care being taken. to press and noi. to rub or smear it. After being pressed into thin layer it is folded upon Itself trito a pile and the pressin repeated. The working is continuhd until there is a thdroush and even distribution of the salt and a desirable grain and body hive 59°” produced. , _. “ ` 'The working' of the butter il B Ver! important stop in -the makin! process's'nd should receive careful attention.

Fowls are infested by two kind; qi U05? parasites _ lice and mites Lice ll-ve continuously upon the birds, The common mite feeds upon them on the roosts at night, and after feed ing secretes itself in the cracks and crevices about the roosts There are many different kinds of poultry lice. Those most common on fowls are: the body louse, yellowish in color and about one-tenth of an inch in length, which remains on the skin of the fowl; the shaft louse, somewhat smaller and very pale in color, which is usually seen on the shafts of the feathers, and the head 10|-186. a large gray species which is moat_ frequently observed on the heads of young chickens Lice are not usually very abun dant on healthy fowis which are kept under sanitary conditions and provided with dllst baths. They mul iiply rapidly upon birds of low vital ity and sluggish temperament, and are quickly distributed through flocks upon premises where attention to cleanliness is indifferent. For novices in poultry keeping, and with small flocks generally, it is advisable to make sure that the dock A Open Front House for small Flock. is, free from lice by giving the birds individual treatment which will se- cure that result. The most univers- ally procurable article for this pur- pose is powdered sulphur. The method of applying this is to hold the bird by the feet, head down, and dust the sulphur freely into the fea- thers, using either a small insect- powder gun or it can with a perfor- ated cover. Pyrethrum may be used in the same way. Neither _of these remedies will thoroughly and per- manently rid poultry of lice. Whel: they are used treatment must be re- peated at lnore or less frequent inter- vals, ns may appear necessary. By using commercial sodium fluor- id in the form of powder, or as a dip, all species of poultry lice may bc destroyed at one application. As thc high eiilciency of sodium iluorid in destroying lice on poultry is of re’- cent discovery the material is not ordinarily found in all drug stores. With ii demand for it, however, local druggists will secure supplies. The common chicken mite is rl very small gray insect which, when it has filled itself with blood,'be- comes bright red, hence the name "red mite" by which it is often cali- ed. It may be discovered, if present, by looking on the undersides of thc roosts and nest supports, and in thc wall creyices near them. Where the mites are very abundant they may be found in large masses in such places. They also frequent the nests of sitting hens. With reasonable at- tention to the cleanliness of poultry houses, mites are not likely to be troublesome except in warm wljsr. Treatment for mites consist in ap- plications of liquid insecticides or disinfectants to them and to the places where they harbor, repeating the applications at intervals of about a week until all are destroyed. Any of the petroleum products common- ly used for disinfectant purposes will be found effective for the destruction of mites. _..___..--- Co-operative Egg Marketinb in Prince Edward lsland| more than 4,000 farmers are federated in one-central body for co-operative egg marketing. .Prince Edward Islsnd eggs are now the best es!!

To-dav we are approximately 20,000,000 lbs. short in the require- ment_s of our Canadian _Army, this shortage has to be imported, consequently the money that ls going out for this purpose could be retained if there were more sheep raised. Sheep is the most profitable live stock on the farm, goes a long way in solving the labor question, as the :are they require is small compared with other live stock and the returns greater. In going into the sheep business its :well to remember that it costs no more to ralse a pure bred sheep than it does a grade and it will pay better as there is and and will be for some years to come a better market for pure bred stock. It would not be surprising t_o see Canada ciiporting pure bred stock to Europe after the war, as there has been _ii great depletion of sheep during the war, Therefore the time to begin raisin them ls novv_, w_hen you can get them through the po icy of,the Live Stock Branch, Ottawa, assisted by the Provincial Government. Pure Bred lamb rams at $_25.00 and _yeariings at $30.00 breeding ewes will cost from_$25.00 to 35.00 accordlngto their maturity. As this is a war measure the offer may not occur again. To a beginner the first thing to consider is what breed of sheep you would like and what would be the most profitable ? 'l here are several breeds, but I am of the opinion that any of the Down breeds or Cheviot is the most suitable for this climate, being close in the wool they will withstand the rain and cold better than any of the long wool sheep.
