The Dairy Requires Attention.


1t might as we'll be understood first
rs last that butter-making can not be
made profitable unless there is suf-
fcient time given to it, and unless the
work is done at the proper time. 1t
must now be pretty well understood
that profitable butter-making means
good article of butter But that can
not be made unless every thing is done
properly and promptly. If. as a writer
of note remarks, a woman has the
care of a family OF children, does the
cooking. mend.ng, sweeping and thou
sand things that devolve upon a moth
er, she can not be good dairy maid,
or if she is, it is more than one woman
ought to be- As rule people are not
rapid enough in execution to greatly
multiply duties. Once in a great
while we find man or woman who
can do the work OF half dozen peo-
pie, and seem to do it easily. But such
people are the exceptions.
1t is not wise, therefore, to expect
that the wife with all her other duties
to perform, can give attention to much
of dairy, and, therefore, at the very
beginning enough help should be pro-
vided. There is a great deal OF hard
work in the dairy, and it must be done
at just such time. 1t is a mistake to
suppose that dairying is easy. In fact
it is mistake to suppose that any
work or occupation is easy, ii it is hon.
est.
We must devote close attention to
any business if we expect to make il
successful. The dairy particularly re-
quires close attention and steady work.
The COWS must be millSed and ought
10 be milked regularly and care
fully; and we can not be toe
particular to see that the helI
we employ attend to these things
There is so much careles sness upor
the part Of some mixers, as shown IL
/ their roughness toward the COW, OF
their neglect to milk thoroughly, tha
in any considerable herd some milker
will do more damage in a season thai
their wages will amount to. Th'
process of milking, therefore, shoulC
be carefully overseen by the owner
In walking through city streets we al
ways see foreman-a boss OF stree
gangs OF men. This foreman watche
closely the work of the men, and ye
if they did not sweep clean or other
wise neglect their duty, no irreparabl
damage could be DONE The dairyme
frequently give no attention to the mat
ter of milking their cows by the help
and if damage is done there it ca
not be repaired The mixer shoul
be a cleanly person. Since milkin
has been entrusted so largely to mcr
there is not always that degree c
cleanliness that is absolutely necessar
; in well-conducted dairy, and the lac
often gives rise to the wish for the re
turn of the neat dairy maid, who wa
not always the sole creation OF tn
poets. After the milking comes tn
care of the milk. If the millzer hf
mixed with the milk dirt Of variou
, descriptions the milk is spoiled; 4
after-care, however great, can restor
/. it to prime excellence. The dirt ma
be got out, perhaps, but the strainin
, can not remove the odors that ms
r have come from the dirt. t.-Westel

South Dakota and Washington it is pro.

THE WHITE ROSE ROAD.
A Charming Poem in Prose by Sarah
Orne Jewe.t.

Orne Jewe:t
1t was country of wild flowers; the
last of the columbines were clinging to
the hillsides; down in the small,
fenced meadows belonging to the farm
were meadow rue Just coming in
flower, and red and white clover; the
golden buttercups were thicker than
the grass, while many mulleins were
standing straight and slender among
the pine stumTs, with their first BIOS
SONS atop Rudbeckies had found
their way in, and appeared more than
ever like bold foreigners. Their
names should be translated into
country speech, and the children
ought to call them "rude-beckies," by
way of relating them TO bouncing-bots
and sweet-williams. The pasture
gus was green and thick after the
plentiful rains. AMI the busy cattle
took little Iotice OF us as they browsed
steadily and tinkled their pleasant
bells. Looking off, the smooth, round
back of Great Hill caught the sunlight
with its fields Of young grain, and all
the long wooded slopes and valleys
were fresh and fair in the June
weather, away toward the blue New
Hampshire hills on the northern hori-
gon. Seaward stood Agamenticus,
dark with its pitch pines, and the far
sea itself, blue and calm, ru'el the
uneven country with its Interchangeable
line.
Out on the white rose road again,
we saw more of the rose trees than
ever, and now and then a carefully
tended flower garden, always delight
full to see and to think about. They
are not made by merely looking
through a florists catalogue, and
ordering this or that new Seeding and
a proper selection of bulbs or shrubs;
every thing in a country garden has its
history and personal association. The
old bushes, the perennials, are apt to
have most tender relationship with
the hands that planie them long ago
There is constant exchange of such
treasures between the neighbors, and
in the spring slips and cuttings NAV
be seen roofing on the window lodges,
while the house plants give endless
work all winter long. since they need

His Wife as He Saw Her.

Burke was sustained amid thu
anxiety and agitation of public
life by domestic felicity. Every
care vanishes," he said, 'the mo
ment 1 enter beneath my owI
roof"
His description of wife is toe
long to quote, but we must give
an epitome of it. OF her beauty
he said that it did not arise from
features, from complexion or from
shape. "She has all in a high
degree, but it is not by these she
touches the heart; it is all that
sweetness of temper, benevolence,
innocence and sensibility which d
face can express, that forms her
beauty. Her ayes haze a1ssd
light, but they awe you when she
pleases; they command like a good
man out of Office, not by authority,
but by virtue. Her stature is not
tall, she is not made to be the adj
miration of everybody, but the
happiness of one. She has all the
frmness that does not exclude
delicacy; she has all the frmness
that does not imply weakness.
"Her voice is low, soft music,
not formed to rule public assem-
blies, but to charm those who can
distinguish a company from
crowd; it has this advantage-you
must come close to her to hear it.
To describe her body describes her
mind; one is a transcript of the
other. She discovers the right
and wrong of things, not by
reasoning, but by sagacity. No
person of so few years can know
the world better; no person was
ever less corrupted by that knowl-
edge. She has true generosity
of temper, the most extravagant
cannot be more unbounded in that
liberality, the most covetous not
more cautious in their distribution.
Her politeness seems to flow rath-
er from a natural disposition to
Oblige than from any rules on the
subject.
at is long before she chooses,
but then it is fixed forever, and
the first hours of romantic friend
ship are not warmer than hers
after lapse of years. As she
never disgraces her good nature by
severe reflections on anybody, 80
she never disgraces her judgment
by immoderate or i'll placed praises
for everything violent is contrary
TO her gentleness of disposition
and the evenness of her virtue"

\ man had fallen into a deep pit, and
lay grooming III tine miry bottom, utterly
unable to move Confucius-the anchient
Chinese philosopher-passed by and, look
ing into the pit, said: "Poor fellow, am
very sorry for you. Why were you such a
fool as to get in there. Let me give you a
piece of advice: If you ever get out, be
careful you don't get in again" And that
was all he could do for him. Next came
a Buddhist priest, and looking down at
him, said; "Poor fellow, am panied to
find you in such condition. think if
you could scramble up two-thlrds of the
way, or even half, 1 might reach down
and help you out" But the man was
utterly unable to move. Last of all, Jesus
Christ came by, and hearing his cries went
to the edge of the pit, and reached entirely
down to the notion, and lifted him up
and set him on his feet, and said: $50 and
sin no morc.'-From Sermon by Con

The remarkably quick time
made by the steamer City of Paris,
on its trip from Queenstown to
New York last week, is causing a
great deal Of comment and specu-
lation. The time made by this
steamer was 5 days, 90 hours and
z minutes, the fastest ever made.
The advancement that has been
made in ocean navigation is seen
by comparing this time with that
of the first steamer that crossed
the Atlantic sixty years ago. This
was the steamer Savannah, which
sailed from Savannah, Georgia,
May 25th 1919, and arrived in
Liverpool June -twenty-six
days later. The effect of this
5lniclZenlhg- OF Tina fe-eroosing
the Atlantic viii be to decrease in
the near future, the cost of pas
sage. 1t must be remembered that
such magnificent floating palaces
as the Etruria, Alaska, Baltic and
others, are not built for a day, but
will very likely be able to do SER
vice for years to come, while at
the same time, the newer grey
hounds of the ocean" will continue
to rob them of their laurels and of
their custom, by lowering the
record. The inevitable effect Of
this competition, therefore, will
be to make the fare cheaper, as
the quicker steamers can make
trips in a quicker time than their
older sisters. The day may not
be far distant when a trip to Lon
don will be as cheap and conven-
lent to New Workers as a ride to |
Chicago.

given to the examining committee of oul
church. "Under whose preaching were

converted under my mothers practicing.'
Gracious tribute was that to parental ex.
ample! And perhaps there was little
talking in it all, little urging to duty and
exhorting to obedience. The temperature
of the mothers life was so sweet and sa-
luxurious that it woke and matured the
seed of the grace that had been dropped
into the heart, and it sprang up spontan-
eously.-Dr. A. ]. Gordon.

A number of curious and in
quisitive gentlemen went out to
inspect and explore the cave in
John Bryson's pasture last week.
Upon excavating an opening sufi-
cient to enter they found a cavern
of about Is feet in length, at the
inner extremity of which there is
a small hole through which there
is a strong draft outward. In
making the excavation at the en-
trance they found what bears evil
dences of having been a mining
shaft, which has been for some
cause filed up with surface rock
gravel. In the ledge of rock
through which the shaft appears
to have been cut was found rock
bearing traces of gold throughout.
Mr.. John Carnes crushed the
specimen upon his return home,
and after washing it, found that it
PANIED out sufficient quantity of
gold to make it rich find if it is
to be had in any considerable
quantity. The town is excited
over the matter, and arrangements
have been made to go the bottom
of the matter in a short time.

a good deal of work having been

LlanO County.

A San Antonian recentlv took
considerable pains to inve tigate
Llano, and came home quite en-
thusiastic about that country,
which he declares to be practically
terra incognita. When he was IN
terviewed by the Express concern
ing his journey, the gentleman
said:
The place is so difficult Of access
that no one cares to venture over
there on a mere projecting tour,
but several capitalists have become
convinced of the value of the min
eral deposits, and have invested
largely, the Wakefield or Milwau-
kee syndicate, having bought mp
over 10000 acres of iron land.
Others are buying and building,
and the little town rings with the
music Of hammer and saw. The
village has about 600 inhabitants
and is unincorporated. It sits
upon the banks CT the stream from
which it takes its name, and is
founded upon a rock" indeed, for
the whole country is granite. The
fall of the river averages about
twenty-five feet to the mile, and as
It is a reliable stream of very re-
spectacle dimensions, there Is an
assured water power for all the
mills, factories and gins than can
be required
Coal-the United States over
Is on an average 4l2 miles from
iron oar fields, but LIano is only
295 miles from Mexican coal, and
275 or at most 800 miles to Indian
territory coal, which would cost
$3.50 per ton. Besides. it Is con-
ceded that a coal vein from SO in
ches to SO inches thick, has been
discovered in Mccullough county.
When It is remembered that east
Of the Mississippi river the rail
road building is practically finish
ed and that hereafter the conshuc-
tion viii be west Of that river and
south Of the Southern Pacific road,
It becomes evident that Llano
holds the key to the situation. Her
ore IS found IN mountains as to
quantity and the quality is not
surpassed on the continent Much
Of It runs Il and 72l per cent. and
the best possible per cent, 70 is
not infrequent
I had the good fortune to secure
an analysis Of some Of the oars,
taken at random, made by the
Chicago rolling mill, and these are
the figures from Llano and Mason
counties:
