A. H. REID,

great reluctance to come iu any reasonable 
time, and once iu awhile will not come at all. 
And even when it does permit itself to be sep¬ 
arated from its matrix of cream, it is almost 
always of inferior quality. Butter obtained 
under these conditions is similar to that which 
comes from the second and third risings of 
cream on milk produced under more favor¬ 
able conditions. In both cases the butter glob¬ 
ules are inferior in size, in color, in flavor, and 
in quality; for the longer the time a cow is iu 
milk, the smaller are the globules, aud iu the 
case of milk of good quality' the larger globules 
rise first, say in 18 hours or so, the smaller 
ones ascending afterwards, in a more take-it- 
easy fashion. 
It is sufficiently obvious that these smaller 
globules, whether they come from inferior 
milk to start with, or from the later risings on 
better milk, will be more difficult to churn 
into butter than the larger globules which 
abound in the milk of Jersey cow's, or iu the 
milk of almost any other breed in the early 
months after parturition. Such cream, too, 
produced from dry forage in Winter, is ap¬ 
parently in a condition, which, in a chemi¬ 
cal, no less thau iu a physical sense, is in¬ 
imical to easy churning. What this chemical 
condition is, iu reference to v hat is known as 
“sleepy cream,” does not appear to be well un¬ 
derstood. if understood at all, aud it remains 
a problem whose solution has already occupied 
a good deal of hitherto fruitless inquiry, It is 
not owing to acidity, or an alkali would alter it. 
and acidity iu cream, indeed, commonly 
causes butter to come hi less time than when 
the cream is fresh. Be it whatever it may, 
however, it, may be taken for granted that an 
improvement will be effected by giving the 
cows a generous supply of food that is iu an 
easily digestible condition.

costing nothing, answer just as well. Tie 
a string, as shown at Fig. 100, around the 
crotch, then to the ground in the middle of each 
hill of beans, then tie it. to the wire. If the vines 
have grown long enough, tie them around the 
strings a few times so as to give then a fair 
start, and iu a few'days you will be astonish¬ 
ed at seeing how soon the vines will spread 
out, covering the wire, as shown in Fig. 08. 
There will be no bother from poles breaking 
down, letting the beans in the dirt; nor will 
there be half the bother in taking*up, aud 
they will be a Iways ready to take right in after 
the beans are gathered iu Autumn. If pre¬ 
ferred, you cau leave the wires fasteued on 
the posts: dig up the latter and roll the wires 
around them; then put them away In a dry 
place until Spring, when they will be as good 
as ever. It is not necessary to have large 
posts: light ones are more easily handled, if 
sound. This plan always gives good results, 
and each hill of beans will yield one-third 
more. Very simple! J. s. bennett.
