News Of Interest from
w ashington,


The President has had fewer
ofice-seeking callers Of late and
as a natural consequence the num-
Der of appointments have increas-
ed. If they will only keep away
from the White House the Presi-
dent will have an opportunity to
look over the papers filed by the
applicants and decide upon the
proper men to be appointed.
Among the more prominent
appointments since my last letter
are the following:
Charles Swayne, of Florida, to
be U. S. Judge for the northern
district Of Florida this appoint
ment was particularly pleasing to
Florida republicans here, because
it has been rumored that the Pres
ident had decided to give the place
to a man from another state;) w
d. Lee of New Mexico, to be
associate justice of the Supreme
Court of New Mexico; ]. M
Whitcher, of Nevada, to be U. S
attorney for Nevada; ]. c
Murphy, of Dakota to be U. S
attorney for Dakota; r. L. Walker
Of Kansas, to be u. S. Marsha
of Kansas (Mr. Walker was ap
pointed to succeed Marshal Jones
who was summarily removed fol-
misconduct in office at the time o
the opening of the Oklahoma
country;) Jacob Yoes of Arkansas

Russell Harrison says that his
mothers recent illness was due to
the wretched sanitary condition Of
the White House. The sewerage
and plumbing Of the building are
very bad and there is no proper
ventilation. The cold, open,
damp weather of Mrs. Harrison's
first weeks in the White House
brought out prominently the
defects of her new abode and
affected her system unfavorably.
The Ninth Congressional Dis
trict is taking very kindly to
Congressman Myron H. McCord.
This is particularly true Of the
soldier element. Mr.. McCord,
during his brief term as a con-
gresham, has extended invaluable
aid to large number of soldiers,
and it has been such aid as has
been largely in their interest. The

CREAM FOR Gnu RNINc.
How TO Prevent IL from Bccoming Too

How to Prevent It from becoming Too
Sour Over-Itipc.
There happens just now 10 be
troublesome uncertainty as to the
keeping and churning Of cream. due
TO eager desire to make clear what is
at present inexplicable, and to the
seeming strife among certain dairy
writer's to be sensational Hence the
term .'ripcning' Of cream and conse-
quent confusion. Cream is ''ripe"
when ready for churning and making
the best quality Of butter. This con-
dition Is moderate degree Of acidity
or sourness, and the practical butter
maker may be sure there is nothing
more than this needed with cream free
from all uncleanlincsst to make the best
and most butter. Some time ago these
experts" lat present the loudest on
..ripcning" equally vociferous
in praise Of churning sweet cream.
But now IL i alleged that sweet cream
will not yield 80 much butter BY TWEEN
ty or twenty-five per cent. as ripened
or sour cream.
The latter statement Is as wide OF
the mark as II was to say that sweet
cream makes bcst-;lavored butter.
Some persons prefer the butter to b.
insipid free from that aroma
which Is its most desirable quality
to ordinary consumers. Ripcned
cream. which makes finely-havored
butter. has just entered the first stage
OF decomposition known as acidity.
II this decomposition goes too far the
flavor becomes gradually stronger I'M
til it ends in rancidity. There Is
danger Of the cream. by too long keep
ing. becoming too sour or over-ripc
and consequently making inferior but
ter. This i to be avoided with every
care. but especially by keeping the
milk at temperature below sixty de-
grces and the cream still cooler when
churning Is made only once week.
