GOOD KEEPING BUTTER.
1t Depends More on the Skill Of the Maker
Than the Cow.

It Depends More on the Skill Of the Maker
Than the Cow.
The essentials Of good keeping but
ter can be summed up in a brief para
graph, and has only four divisions.
Poor keeping butter contains four
things to excess, too much cheesy mat
ter, too much poor salt, too much water,
and in then allowing the package to re-
main IN too high temperature so that
the ferments are quickly started into
action. It is impossible to make good
butter in which one or all of these four
things are allowed to exist
The good quality Of the butter Is de-
pendent more upon the skill of the
maker than the COW. The presence Of
an undue amount of gaseous matter
and water will start the ferments
and the butter is soon on the road to
1.-The bad The essential in fine but
ter making is to get all the substances
out Of the fats possible, and reduce the
water down as low as IL per cent.
Then If the butter is kept cool, and at
even temperature, there is but little
danger Of the substance getting dam
aged in reasonable time. Of course
the milk has something to do with this
matter. That it needs to be good. free
from bad flavor, and creamed under the
best of conditions goes without saying.
Analysis of butter that has quickly
gone to decay" reveals the fact that
it is by weight and measure, one-ffth
substances not butter, and the excess
of moisture has given these elements
chance to start rapid ferment, and
a flavor is developed that puts the but
ter out of the market quotations. Let
us again say that good keeping butter
is only made from the best, and ''clean"
milk, the cheesy matter all washed out,
the salt free from lime. and the butter
placed in temperature below so de-

To XIII Bugs on Vines.

In reply to an inquiry Of one Of your
subscribers asking for good method of
yidding muskroelon, watermelon, ctl-
cum6er and pumpkin vines of the bugs
iufesting them, give my plan which 1
Eeve used several seasons with success;
Take, in the morning, some fresh cow
manure, put in an old bucket and di-
lutte with six or eight times it's volume
OF water, stir well and let stand till
evening, when il should be sprinkled
over the vines with brush or weed.
After an application of this remedy the
bugs do not bother the vines until after
q rain, when. should they return, an
other dose may be appEed.-Kntic NJ.

AN UNMiT,oATED PEST.
The Man, Who Perststeatly Soiicits On.
for q Dime.

The Man, Who PersisteatIy Soiicies One
for Dime.
It's q hard matter to refuse man
the loan. of dime, isn't it, and yet
there is such an army of chronic dime
borrowers lurking about the highways
and byways that if one gives heed to
but a small percentage of them the
first he knows he is out Of pocket to the
extent of dollar or more. These dime
borrowers are an unmitigated nuisance.
The sum they ask of you is paltry
to be sure, but if is be true that
many mickle makes muckie' it is
equally true that ten dimes make a
dollar, and that is more money than
most of us can afford to throw away on
q set of blatherskite dead beats. Quite
a good many of these chronic dime Dor
ro~ers are men who have. seen better
days, and who have finally drifted
down very near the ditch by reason of
their own weakness, II not vices Work
they will not, and so they lie ia wait for
busy men who have no time to parley
with them. and who contend that it is
cheaper to give them a dime than it is
to argue the matter with them Then,
again, there is another reason why it
.sn't pleasant TO remain long in close
proximity to these borrowing friends
they drink three-cent beer, they eat
onions and they chew tobacco, and if
that isn't q coordination for you, why
don't know what I am talking about
But what pains noe more than giving
mp dime to one of these Sealawags Is
the preliminary paiaver that they feel
in duty bound to bore you with before
they strike" you for the nimble ten
cent piece. Whenever stand and
listen 10 long preamble before part
ing with my dime. figure that am
out of pocket just sixty cents. for in all
conscience it's worth at least half q
dollar to take the talk that precedes
the touch for the co;a.-Detroit Free

mean, uncharitabie set, us women of
the Bend. and I'm not SAYING that l
was a whit better than the rest; but l
do think that there has been n change
T for the better since sweet Olive North
came among us. 1t was new place
and times hard, and we couldn't afford
all the neceSsaries of life, much less It's
1uXuries, and hard work and privation
made MS bitter and ifl-tempered. When
tell you that only two families in all
the neighborhood were able to take
paper, and books were as scarce as
hens seeth"-arnoDg US, you may reckon
that Intelligence and refinement were
at lOSv' ebb; but. LAT it would not have
been safe for anyone to have told a
Bender that he or she was not as good
or as smart as the next enc, and if there
was one thing that we disliked more
than our own hardships and privations
. it was the person who had not suffened
in like kind and measure.
When Judge North came among rs
with his old maid sister and motherlese
daughter, it did not take us long 10 see
that they were different from the rest
of US, and different in way that we
resented. If they had been poorer or
more ignorant than ourselves we could
have welcomed them with open arms.
but Miss North, though noA in the least
naughty, was dignified and intellectual
Hooking, and Olive-well she was pref
ttier, smarter and sweeter than any
-other girl in the place. and we couldn't
help seeing it, and hated her accord
ingly.
If the judges folks had been extra~-
agant in dress or naughty IN manners,
or anything of the kind. there would
have been some excuse for our feelings
towasd them, but they were plain and
simple and tried to be friendly, and
that seemed to make US dislike them
the more.
1 remember the first time saw Olive
come into church She wore q simple
white linen lawn withous a bit OF orna-
ment except bit of hemstitching she
had done herself, and her black straw
hat had only purple lining and q
bunch of violets; but dress and hat were
fine OF their kind, and couldn't help
seeing the contrast between her and
Rosy Watts. who had been considered.
till then, the prettiest giri IN the neigh
borhood Rosy's dress was white. too.
but it had thick stripe and q thin one
and yards of lace and ribbon, cheep ol
course, but, altogether, making her
dress cost more than Olives Then her
hat was a perfect posey garden ID

cher bangs curled so tight you might

CANADIAN INDEPENDENCE.

fopulir Sentiment Favors Scptration

Many Americans will doubtless be
surprised to learn, says Walter Black
burn lIart2 in Al article on canadian
Journalists and Journalism, " in the New;
England Magazine, how many of the
leading editors of Canada cypress them
selves us being in favor Of the adoption
of continental commercial policy and
complete separation from Great Britain.
Nothing could show moro distinctly the
drift of the popular sentiment in the
dominion, for everybody is aware that
newspapers only echo public opinion,
and do not create it, nowadays.
a few years ago there was little toll
eranc2 in Canada for any man who
dared to speak of the possibility of Sow
nring the sentimental tic binding the
country to Great Britain. Now Cana
di;:n independence is one of the strong
est Of Popular appeals.
Tho strong opposition of the conscrv-
ntivc party to anything like free trade
with the United State is based upon the
contention that complete independence
Of Great Britain would result in an
absorption of Canada by tho great re-
public. The leading journalists of the
dominion unto in urging the necessity
OF Canada belonging to this continent
economically, and some Of them arc
willing to admit to their constituencies
That if such Identification of the
