"My friend" he said, with wave of

Cleaning u New Churn.

A new churn should always be soaked
for several days before it is used, and if
it is perfectly tight when this is done
the bolts should be loosened, or else it
will warp and get out Of shape. Some
manufacturers stencil this instruction
right on the churn, and yet many hutteF
makers neglect this simple precauton.
If not soaked well. the first churnings
are apt to get woody taste. Many are
the different ways of soaking, some rec
ommending this, that and everything,
but cold water will absorb most favors
if changed often, yet | should prefer the
following method: Soak in cold water
for "a hours, changing two or three
times, then churn for an hour with q
solution Of some weak alkali powdered
lye or lime). then rinse with boiling hot
water, and if at hand soak for "a hours
with clean favored buttermilk or souI
skimmilk repeating this if practical.
After that wash the churn as usual, as,
for instance, by first rinsing with cold
water, then churning for 10 minutes
with boiling hot water, and if steam is
available steam it sufficiently to make
the churn hot enough to dry ITSELF

said she was out carriage riding with a
young man, and as they were driving along
she noticed lady's gold watch lying In the

and pick it up. He did so and put the
watch in his pocket.
The young woman asked him for the
watch, claiming that it belonged to heF

the event of one not being found the watch,
she said, was her property, as she had seen

The young man contended that as he was
furnishing the horse and wagon for the
drive the watch belonged to him. He
argued that II he had not asked her to 90
out with him she would not have been able
to see the watch on the road. The young
woman said that if she had not seen the
watch her companion would have driven

man gave the watch to the young woman's
mother. with whom he boarded. The moth

The finding was advertised In Newark,
Paterson and Passaic newspapers, but no

The young man again recovered posses

Judge Senior to decide whether it belonged
to her or to the young man. Judge Senior
decided that 1t belonged to her. as she had
seen 1t first and simply asked the young
