The great amount of butter renovated annually indicates a need for marked improvement in the methods used in making butter. Last year as high as 30,000,000 pounds of washed or renovated butter was sold in the United States and much of this butter was made on farms. The average price received is low, ranging approximately from 15 to 25 cents. The whole matter of the quality of the completed product, according to J. H. McClain, dairy specialist of the department of agriculture, Is determined by the way in which the milk and cream used In Its are handled, and the manufacture methods employed in performing the mechanical operations of churning, working, and packing the butter.

Cuttings for propagation may be prepared at any time after the vines have become dormant. Other things being equal, and if they are afterwards well cared for, the sooner they Vine, rletles themselves often require special methods to obtain the best results. Of the many styles of pruning and training, a few will be mentioned here: Four-Can- e Kniffin System. On tlie trunk of the vine at' the e lower wire of a trellis, about 30 Inches from the ground, two canes und two spurs are left of last years growth, and two more canes and spurs are left at the top wire, about 56 two-wir- inches from the ground. These canes, which are tied to the wire on each side of the vine, produce fruiting shoots which ure allowed to hung down or droop. This system Is named after William Kniffin, who first employed it. It has been extensively used along the Hudare prepared after the vines have be- - son river and elsewhere, and is said g to be especially adapted to varieties. Vines trained by this system are easily and quickly pruned and require only a limited amount of labor In the growing season. e Kniffin System.

I Is well, the summer before, to leave on the vine for this purpose some shoots starting close above ground and allow them to grow as long aa possible. In pruning these canes all the buds are left.

Each bud on the cane will usually produce a shoot, which by this process is made to grow upward. When these shoots are well started the trench should be filled with soil. Each of the shoots then takes root at its base. Canes may be layered at any season of the year, but most frequently In midsummer, when canes of the same season's growth are used. These are bent down to the ground and covered with earth, the growing tips being allowed to project above the soil. Roots will form by autumn and the layers can then be cut from the parent vines and divided, the laterals which were left usually forming the tops of the new plants. After being divided, ihe plants should be thoroughly heeled in, like plants from seeds or cuttings. In general practice the layers are not disturbed until wanted for use In the spring. Where vines are on overhead arbors, layers can be made by placing boxes of soil in the arbors and layering the canes into these boxes. methods There are many of grafting. Bench, nursery, and vineyard grafting are resorted to in general vineyard practice. The mechanical operations performed are similar and the underlying principles are the same, the essential difference being, as the names imply, the place where the work is done.
