junction with the grass, but if the pas¬ 
tures are short during July and August 
and the cows have to forage all day in 
order to satisfy their craving for green 
feed, then it is highly desirable to let 
them have hay at least once a day. They 
will pick it over if given an opportunity, 
but will not eat it as clean as they will 
during the Winter. 
It is well known that hominy meal can 
substitute for cornmeal. But during 
the Summer season hominy can be pur¬ 
chased at lower cost than cornmeal. How¬ 
ever, if you have ear corn of your own 
production, corn and cobmeal can be 
ground up at frequent intervals so as to 
avoid undue heating and substituted for 
the proposed hominy or cornmeal. Bear 
in mind that corn and cobmeal is more 
bulky and less nutritious than hominy meal 
and it requires 200 lbs. of corn and cob¬ 
meal to replace 150 or 160 lbs. of hominy 
or cornmeal. 
Hope Farm Notes 
(Continued from page 1050) 
eight middle-aged men were discussing 
these things, and we found that six of us 
had crooked fingers, broken or perma¬ 
nently twisted by catching “hot ones” 
while playing baseball. At any rate the 
boy finishes his mowing and then goes 
off with his bag of golf sticks. That rives 
me an idea. Perhaps I could do better if 
I had several hoes, of varying shapes, for 
work among my berries! Anyway, the 
future champion at golf may be a farmer. 
That would help us. A few champions of 
that and other sports would give our pro¬ 
fession what I may call a psychological 
twist. 
A paper is offered for inspection in our 
family today. Mother puts on her spec¬ 
tacles and reads it as though it were a 
new declaration of independence. My 
daughter and the older children nod their 
heads appreciatively, while the oldest boy 
assumes that quite well-known attitude 
which enables a deaf man to read his 
thoughts fully : 
“Nothing of any great importance ; just 
one of those common little things which 
have to come in the day’s work.” 
As I did not hear the reading, this stiff 
piece of parchment is passed over to me 
for examination. It proves to be the boy’s 
“sheepskin,” setting forth in sonorous 
Latin that Williams College has branded 
B. A. upon him. I use the words “sonor¬ 
ous Latin” because I have heard the 
phrase before and have reason to think 
this great college would not be likely to 
use any other kind. In truth, I cannot 
read a word of it. Mother and five of 
the older children can reel it off as little 
Rose would read some nursey rhyme, but 
about all I have is a rather slippery grip 
on English. I never had a chance to 
study the languages when I was a boy. I 
now think I made a mistake in not trying 
to dig out a little Latin in place of so 
much reading in English. Not long ago I 
talked with a man who looms rather large 
in literature. Perhaps he thought I was 
a kindred spirit. At any rate, when I 
asked him a question he took his pencil 
and wrote out some quotation in Latin. 
I have no doubt it was most appropriate, 
but to this day I do not know what it 
was all about. What could I do but 
smile and look wise, the usual bluff of the 
uninformed? I am glad my children can 
have the advantage of thorough language 
study. Language, however, is only the 
set of tools in the word carpenter’s box. 
There must be power and thought and 
knowledge of life if there is to be any 
true message. As my boy goes off with 
his bag of golf sticks and his “sheepskin” 
I do not exactly envy him his youth, his 
love of the game and his knowledge of 
language—but all the same I wish I had 
them. What could I do with youth? 
Would I not be better off if I really pre¬ 
ferred golf to hoeing strawberries? Would 
not a working knowledge of the dead lan¬ 
guages give me a better chance to use the 
live ones? Who knows? I think so, at 
least. Well, let’s hope the boy’s B. A. 
will mean something. Big Aim will not 
be so bad. But here is something new. 
Mother has her eye on me with that pe¬ 
culiar expression which I know well. 
She has a new job for me. H. w. C. 
(To Be Continued) 
Musty Butter 
One of the best butter-makers in this 
part of the country has difficulty in pre¬ 
venting a certain musty odor about her 
butter in hot weather. M. f. h. 
Mystic, Conn. 
I dare say the musty odor in the but¬ 
ter is due to an absorbed flavor which 
may get into the cream before churning, 
or into the butter after it is made. Of 
course, it might be due to bacterial 
growth. Temperatures are important at 
this time of the year, and cream should 
be cooled to a low temperature (50 de¬ 
grees) if held for any length of time be¬ 
fore churning. Churning temperature at 
this time of the year should be around 52 
to 56 degrees Fahr. The use of ice is 
always desirable to maintain these tem¬ 
peratures during the hot Summer months. 
A thermometer will readily show whether 
these conditions are being met without 
ice. It is against the law to put any 
chemicals into the cream or butter.. The 
control of bacterial growth by an abso¬ 
lute check on temperatures, the continued 
use of clean, sterile utensils, and the keep¬ 
ing of the butter away from abnormally 
strong odors should overcome the difficul¬ 
ty in this case. J. w. b.
