Churning.

H. A. Holmes, of Chatfield, Minn..
whose opinions Oh dairy matters in
Minnesota, are taken as authority,
says, if his butter was to come III
half an hour, he would stop his
churn, to see what was the matter,
as he did not wish to churn in l.ss
than Two hours. 1t is generally con-
ceded now, by large class of good
butter makers, that an hour is quick
enough to cburn. and very many
prefer one and half or two hours.
There is another class of butter max
lers who can not spend the time To
cburn, and every minute spent over
half an hour is time lost. They have
valuable pasture lands, Jersey cows,
worth from S1OO To 81 900 each, fine
barns to stable them IN, Il model
,, dairy house with all the modern ap-
pliances, and yet the extra hour
spent in churning when care and
judgement should be used to pro-
duce fine butter, is the straw that
breaks the camel's back. 1t is not
SO only in this case, but in thou
sands of Others. At this time of
year butter, as a rule. churns hard,
that is, it takes a long time 10 churn.
The cows being fresh mixers in the
spring, the globules Of cream get
smaller. the longer they are MIXED,
and cons, quently the cream is hard
er to clurn
Cream placed in large tin cans RI
pens very slowly in the fall of the
year, especially if kept in a cool
place, before the ripeniDg process
begins. Plenty of time must be
given, and the cream stirred often,
that the temperature may be alike,
and all of the cream ripen at the
same time.
The free use of a thermometer and
the certainty that the can is warmed
all the way through, very many
times, shOrtens the time of churn-
ing.
Ii just before churning the tenn
perature of the cream is rails. d to 65
OF 81 degrees and then stirred until
it is 62 degrees the churning will be
done much quicker.
Very many times the cream is
not AZ warm as it should be, the
cans being large do not get warmed
through and when the churning
commences the cream stands at 5S
instead oi 62 degrees, although the
top Of the can may show that it is
62 degrees; especially is this the
case in fall and winter.

THE SI.Et,PERS.


They are sleeping Who are sieepinsg
Children weari.d with their play;
For the stars of night are peeping,
And the sun hath sunk away.
A. the dew upon the blossoms
Bows them on their tender stem;
So, as light as their own bosonis,
Baimy sleep nath conquered them.
They are sleeping Who are sleeping?
Mortals, compassed round with woe;
Eyelids, wearied out with weeping,
Close for very weakness now;
And short relief from sorrow
Harrassed nature shall obtain,
Till they wake again tomorrow,
Strengthened 10 contend with pain.
They are sleeping Who are sleeping?
Captives in their gloomy cells;
Yet sweet dreams Ger them are creeping
With their many colored spells.
Ali they iove-again they clasp them,
Feel again their long lost joys;
But the haste with which they grasp them
Every iairy Iorin uestruys-
They are sleepiIg,-Who are sleeping?
Misers by their boarded gold;
And in fancy they are heaping
Gems and pearls of price untold;
Golden chains their limbs cucumber,
Diamonds seem before them shown:
BuI they waken from their siumber,
And the splendid dream is flown.
They are sleeping.-Who are sleeping?
Pause moment, softly tread;
Anxious friends are fondly keeping
Vigis by the sleepers bed.
Other hopes have all forsaken;-
One remains-that slumber deep;
Speak not, lest the slumberer waken
From that sweet-that saving sleep
They are sleeping!-Who are sleeping?
Thousands who have passed away
From world of woe aud weeping,
To the regions of decay.
Safe they rest the green turf under;
Signing breeze or music's breath,
Winters wind, or Summers thunder,
Cannot break the sleep of death.

Agricultural Machinery.

Az recent meeting of the Mas
sachusetts Board OF Agriculture Mr..
james s. Grinnell contributed a pa
per on the Progress Of Agricultural
Machinery" from the days when the
plow was a crooked stick to the
present, when man has partly learn
ed how to change implements of
war to those which contribute to the
welfare and happiness of the race.
For long ages the cultivation of the
soil was the rude work of servants
and slaves. But many men of sbill
in mechanics were among the first
settlers in America, and altAough
compelled at the outset To look alone
to the soil for substance, they soon
began to make for lh. mselves the
useful articles of clothing and fur
niture needed in their plain homes,
and to build ships for bringing com
forts and luxuries from the old coun-
try and carrying agricultural pro-
ducts with which to pay for the i'm
ported goods. Among the earliest
patents was one for making scythes
by welding a block of iron to the
cutting edge of steel, a form which
is practically unchanged. The
Ames shovel was also an early it,
veDtion which has retained its form
and general character The plOw
began to be improved early in the
present century. Jethro Wood in
1919 invented an iron plow in parts
which drove all the other patients
out of use, but Thomas jefferson
was the maker Of the first plOw that
was ever constructed on true me
chanical principles, a combination
of two wedges actiDgin different di-
rections. The next step may be the
introduction of steam for tillage,
and the invention of implements
for lifting and pulverizlng the soil
ready for the seed at one operation.
The disc harrows and smoothing
harrow are o great blessing TO our
present farmers, and many thou
sands are made and sold every year.
The reaper and mower was invented
in 1928, but was slow In coming
into use until improved by Hussey
and Mccormick. There were 11O,-
900 made last year. The twine
binding reaper is the most perfect
agricultural implement ever yet CIV
en- to the world. The Americans
excel the English in the construc-
ton of agricultural tools: ours are
lighter, cheaper and more effective.
The cotton pin has worked a revOlu-
ton in the culture and manufacture
of the Southern staple, changing the
amount of a days work for man
from few pounds to thousands of
pounds. The Improvement in dairy
implements has recently been great,
and is working much benefit to dai
rvmen. Corn buskers are now so
improved that 10000 were made last
year. Another valuable invention
is the manure spreader. No other
nation puts drivers seats on farm
implements; We put them on almost
everything. The Use of modern ag-
ricultural machinery bas given US
the opportunity to accomplish that
which has put US as nation in the
front ranks Of civilization.

Look for yourself among the class.
Is it not true? All that We girls need
is dress"
MAXWELL lifted his fist and dashed
it through the air. He ground his
teeth, and, turning away, lett the
room, slamming the door violently
behind him.
His wife took off her hat and
cloak, and flung herself down at a
table, and buried her face in her
handkerchief.
The door opened again and Man
well put in his head.
You have deceived me-" he said.

She sprang to her feet and con-
fronted him.

who does not lcve her, but was in

He closed the door and retired
down stairs to the street, clench-
ing his hands and his teeth as he
went.
"The horrible disgrace of it." he
mutts red. The derision that will
be NV lot. And then to marry such

But at the street door he tarr:ed
He had to struggle with himself all

Suddenly he turned and dashed
i,npetuously up the stairs, flung
open the door of the room, seized hls
wife in his arms and clasped her to
his heart.
"My wife," he whispered in her
ear; such you are and ever shall
be, before God and before the
world"
Now | begin to think that you
love me-" she said, smiling in his
face. You do love me? You really
think you do, George?n
He clasped her more tightly to
him.
Come, then,' she said, though
of such parents as these, poor as
they are, | should not feel ashamed
yet they are not my parents, but
have only played part in which |

with them, George, they are worthy

pering in Manwell's ear, "two can
play at that game, can't they?'
MAXWELL took Ned's jeering very
soberly.
Yes" said he, after a few mo-
ments of thoughtfulness, ''and the
experience has taught me a lesson.

special attention to the piano, Ia, regard
to which she has q very superior Method,
which she brings with her from the best
conservatory in Germany. By
this method the learning
to play upon this universal
instrument is SO simplifed, and is rendered
so easy that pupils in short time become
very good performers, almost before they
know it. Miss Geist also gives instruc-
tions IN the theory of music and upon the
organ. Her idea is to make her conserva-
tory place where new beginner can
commence and go just as far as it is de-
sirable to go. With this idea in view her
conservatory is equipped with all that is
necessary to thorough musical education.

NEW YORK.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. I


New YORK, May 5.-There was a much
weaker feeling at the opening to-day, and
q small decline. After the first trading q
rally occurred, but before IL o'clock this
had been lost. In the later trading bet
ter feeling prevailed, Northwestern leading
an advance all along the line. Stronger
prices are predicted for Monday. Money
was easy at 333aG4 per cent.
The Herald to-day, says there is no
question but that capitalists are craving
for the better kinds of railroad bonds, and
are ready to pay full prices for
them. Lately there have been liberal
buyers of West Shore bonds at prices
which advanced from day to day. 1t has
generally been supposed that the bonds OF
this road had been placed upon terms
which brought to the company some 81
000,000 cash over and above all require
ments for the completion of the line. A
circular dated and signed by Winslow,
Lance & Co. would appear to do away with
this belief. It seems that of the original
S50,000,000 fifty years 5 per
cent. bonds, there are still some
$4,117,00O offered for sale. Winslow,
Lance & Co. invite bids for the same at
their Office up to 3 p. m. Thursday, May
10, at which time they will be opened in
presence of John A. Stewart, president OF
the United States Trust com pany, F. n.
Lawrence, president of the New Yors
stock exchange, and H. F.Spaulding, presi-
dent of the Central Trust company. There
is no questian but that these bonds will be
literally bid for, but in view of the fact
that their quotation has lately been, so to
speak, artifoally 'chinned up" to the
preposterous price of 824c, it is expect
ed that bona tide sale bid of 70 to 1917
will secure the lot. As further explana-
ton of the above, it may be we'll to state
that the original issue of bonds amounted
to $50,000,0O0, that so-called syndi-
cate took $20,00O,0OO, that S26,O0O,OOO
were disposed of elsewhere at par, that
the $4,117,000 referred to above, are still
open to the highest bidder.
The announcement of Mr.. VanderbiIts
retirement after less than six years. serv-
ice as president since his fathers death,
brought an unusual number of Wall street
men to the Windsor hotel and the other
uptown resorts of the brokers last even
ing. The view most generally expressed
was that the Vanderbilt family had dispos-
ed of their holding in the several proper
les, and therefore desired to shift the re-
possibility of the management upon 9TH
er shoulders, and consequently the talk
upon the Vanderbilt properties was very
blueish. Intimate friends and railroad
associates of Mr.. Vanderbilt say that he
has not disposed of his interests in the
properties, and that he is attached to them
as much as ever.

Christians. "To what church does he
belong?" was the first question. HE is
not a church member" he replied. "Then
this hospital is no place for him. 1t is a
church hospital" said the matron.
where can 1 find the DEVILS hospital?"
was his indignant inquiry. Said a noted
divine while urging his flock
to charitable works: ''Let me counsel
YOU to more wisely bestow your charities
Instead of discursive benovolence let us
concentrate our charitable endeavors upon
the order to which we belong"
1t is not to be expected that intelligent
men will follow blindly the teachings of
other men fallible like themselves, just be-
cause they lived centuries ago. Why
shouln John Calvin dictate to men of to-
day, what they shall believe? He lived in
the twilight of the sixteenth century, and
should his articles of faith exclude Chris
tians from the church after three centuries
Of increasing light, and advance
ment in science and knowledge?
Independent churches, whore ali are
welcomed who have faith in God and his
Son Jesus Christ, are gathering to them
selves the best thinkers and the best mon
of the country. The crowded audiences
that attend the ministratiOns Of such men
as Drs.Swing and Thomas are strong pro
test against the self conceit and bigOtry
of the orthodox church. There all Chris
tians can find home without sacrificing
the privilege of thinking for themselves.
