Points In Butter Making.

During the hot weather butter makers
are greatly troubled with soft butter.
This is largely due i'll most cases to inn
proper handling of the milk. cream and
butter. Where persons have spring
houses or refrigerators butter that is
soft when churned can soon be brought
into firm, presentable appearance. but
il is far better that it should come from
the churn in the right condition. Grass
butter, made from rich old pastures
free from weeds. and from such varieties
rs June or Kentucky blue grass. orchard
grass. red top. wire grass and white
clover. or from mixtures of some of
these SORES. if churned at little below
GO degs. AMI properly handled. should be
of texture that will give little or no
cause for complaint. During the hot
spells. however. there is "a tendency for
the butter 10 bc soft. Notwithstanding
any care which may he taken of it.
As the result of experiments made at
the Ontario Canadian experiment sta
ton To test the effect of food on milk
and butter. Professor Ii. ii. Dean re-
ports that the addition of a small guam
tity Of meal. especially cottonseed meal,
to the food has Il tendency to make the
butter irmcr and raise the melting point
from To 4 degs. ceniigradc. During the
last summer about one pound per day of
cottonsced meal was fed To each cow Mt
pasture, mixed with bran or some grain
meal. and not churning of soft butter
occurred during the whole season.
Whether this was altogether due TO tho
cottonsced meal he is not prepared to
say. but believes it had much to do
with il.

Coroner Kirk Investigates the Death of
Simon Parker, Which is Regarded as
Mysterious.
Suspicious Of foul play Turk around the
death Of Simon Parker, the negro whose
body was discovered floating in the Chris
tiana river yesterday week, and whether
Parkers death was due to his own care.
lessncsS or was the resll. of fotl play, is
the problem that Coroner Kirk commenced
to investigate yesterday week.
Drs. Charles Il. Baird and A. 3. Harris
who made a post mortem examination Of
the remains Wednesday, discovered three
wounds on the body which have moi been
satisfactorily accounted for although it
was suggested by Chief of Police Dolan
that Parker might have sustained the in
jurics in falling about the vessel, it being
known that the negro was intoxicated
when he went to his death in the river.
One of the wounds was over the right eve.
another on top Of the head, while third
was found about the mouth.
According to the statement of Mate
Wilson, Parker was tumbling about the
deck of the vessel i'll helpless state of in
toxicatiun and making so much noise that
the mate closed the door OF the cabin in
order TO avoid hearing it. That was the
last he saw of Parker. About IL o'clock
the Waterman heard splash in the river,
| and the belief of the mate is that the negro
fell overheard. But the discovery of the
wounds gives rise to suspicious of violence
unless the affair can be explained by the
| testimony of the crew of The vessel who
are Of the opinion that Parker received the
wounds in falling on the deck Of the vessel
| The inquest was postponed last night week
| and the jury adjourned TO meet at the cal
| of the coroner.

Major Warner spoke first, and in touch

remedy the evil which had erept into the
