A good deal of the success of dairy ing in hot weather is knowing how otHo tViA milk, cream, butter that, there will be no waste through spoiling. A success ful dairy should have its liberal sup ply of ice, and the dairyman who fails to make provisions for tnis is Horticulture. SPEAYING AND FERTILIZING OECHAEDS in, saving untold hundreds of dollars to the farmer. It has been estimated that there are enough corn stalks wasted annually in Georgia, to feed all the mules and horses in the State. The only trouble with these machines is their first cost $225. This can, however, be obviated to a certain ex tent by a number of farmers in a oommunity clubbing together when they can all reap the benefit with which will meet ments in summer first obtained it needs chilling as soon as possible and a low tempera ture maintained continually. Now, if we can check the growth of bac teria sufficiently the milk and cream can be kept indefinitely. Yet some will have their cream spoiling with in ten hours after milking, and they will attribute their loss to bad luck. But absolute reliance cannot be placed on ice. This is not the only way of saving the milk and cream that the farmer has placed at his dis posal. Ice is necessary, but there is something else more necessary, and without which even ice is of little use. That other thing is cleanliness. Now, to some the idea of cleanliness acting as a preserver of milk and cream may seem a little absurd, but nevertheless there is nothing so im portant in the dairy as this. When the cans and milk pails are not thor oughly cleaned and sterlized from the last milking tens of thousands of bacteria will lurk in the cracks and corners, and when the new milk is poured in they will swarm through out the mass. The bacteria are the direct cause of the milk and cream souring. We chill the milk right after milking in order to stop their multiplication. Heat nourishes them and makes their growth rapid. When the bacteria are left in the unclean milk utensils thousands of them are immediately mixed with the new milk, and they begin to cause the fluid to sour, no matter how soon the chilling process may begin. There are only two absolute meth ods of handling the dairy products successfully in hot weather, and by observing them one is almcst assured of no loss. The milk should when first obtained be aerated and chilled. This should be done as quickly as possible, and in the most cleanly manner imaginable. After aerating and chilling, the milk and cream should be stored in the dairy where the temperature is kept at a uniform ly low figure. Beware of opening the door to this storage room more than necessary. Outside draughts of air will cause a warmer current to pass over the milk and injure it. The next requirement is to see that absolute cleanliness is observed in the dairy, and that every pan, pail and kettle is washed thoroughlv in hot water after each milking, and just before using any one of them for the new milk sterilize it. This is simple enough. Put all of them in boiling water, and then any germs, bacteria or microbes of air, dairy room or old milk will be de stroyed, making the utensils abso lutely fresh and clean.

No surer protection against blights, droughts and other injuries can be conceived. The force of this is not always appreciated. Some times it is necessary to have a lesson brought Rtraiht home. Well, if one wishes to learn by experience, take two orohards or two parts of the same orohard, and spray and fertilize one and neglect the other. Keep at it for two or three seasons, in order to make sure of the results. If this does not oonvince one of the value of spraying and fertilizing, then you are justified in giving up both prac tices. Some times exceptionally good seasons will not make the dif ference between care and neglect of an orchard very apparent. When the blights and inseots are not around in the orchards much, and the sea son is well adapted to produce good crops of fruits, even the neglected orchards will show a fair yield ; but, then, every orchard in the country is full, and it is no sign of farming that one has raised a good crop. It is the off season that tells. When all other fruit trees are in jured by the blight, inseots or dry weather, then is the time that your trees will pay the most if full. It is in the off season that the experienced horticulturist makes his greatest profits. He has fruit to sell when nobody else has, and the high prices he receives for it make his profits It oosts to spray tne trees every season : out tne work will pav it done thoroughly and economically. The spraying should be so thorough on every tree and on every side and part of the tree that no insect is missed. Only in this way will the tree be absolutely guarded against attack. The fertilizing with ash8 and manures should be conducted in the same thorough and economical way. Not a load of either should be wasted. Only so much as the trees and vines need should be used, and some years the soil may get so full New York. AtsrSTXCJfSI lieXELVT mir Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh. DATXS-CHAMMM Pittsburgh. AHCHOZ clncJnnaU.
