throughout the country, Mr.. Arnold, before
the American Dairymau's Association, cited
the butter making interest in evidence OF the
disadvantage Of working privately and alone.
Improvements move slowly when they 60
single handed. Rapid progress in all the af-
fairs Of life comes from learning Of each
other. Differences in butter making could
be as readily reduced as in cheese making
by comparison Of results. But butter-mak-
ers are very little organized. Verm ont, it is
true, is working systematically to improve
her butter interest, and the market reports
Of St. Albans show how we'll che has sue
ceeded. But this is an exceptional case,
and consequently among butter makers very
little is settled; they are at loggerheads on
almost every point. The temperature al
which cream rises hest seems TO be but little
regarded and is known TO hut few; the best
depth for setting milk e argued all the way
from one inch to twenty; the number who
know just when is the best time for skim
ming milk is very small; the time, ,empera-
ture and manner of ch'rning, the effect Of
churning sweet or sour, and whether it is
better TO churn the whole milk or ouly the
cream, are questions in dispute. What il
needed to regulate and advance this interest
is minor organizations all centering in ma
tional association, either in CONJUNCTION with
this association or forming new one.
CHAppED HANps.-In a healthy condition
the skin is kept supple by an oily secret on,
which answers the same purpose as oiing
leather. During warm weather this secre
tion, in common with all the other secretions
Of the skin, is more abundant than in cold
When it is insufficient the skin becomes dry
and harsh; and in those parts OF the body
where the skin is thick and subject to much
motion, as on the hands, it readily cracks OF
fssurcs. The amount Of this secretion is 60
much reduced in cold weather that the fire.
quent washing of the hands with soap causes
them to chap readily, and this the more Ger
tainly if the soap is not thoroughly washed
oG. The alkali in soap is usually in excess,
and this combines with the oily secretion and
80 deprives the skin of it's natural ubricator.
TO prevent the hands from clappins then,
be careful to wash all soap from them thor
onghly in clean water. This will ordinarily
suffice; but if not, it will he necessary to
make good the removed oil by the use OF
glycerine, honey, mutton tallow, etc.
