htearine Fats Are Bound to Predominant
in Shippers Milk.
The profess onal instructors in but
termaling have had time of it in eX-
planning why a certain creamery is
troubled with the body of it's butter,
the commission firm saying that the
body is short and brittle and crumbles
badly in retailing. One says there is
too much water in it, one says it was
worked too cold, one questions if the
feed did not do the bad job, etc. 1t is
not easy for the creamery men to get to
the bottom facts in all cases, as they
do not know how the COWS are handled
a private dairyman finds that feed does
effect the hardness of the butter fats,
that a warm water bath after washing
the butter will soften it so it will not
be so brittle, but the main reason for
hard fats and brittle body is the lack
OF fresh COWS. When the strippers arc
dried and fresh cows take their place
this trouble disappears. Stearine fats
predominant in shippers milk as
truly as they do when cottonseed is fed,
and more warmth is required to soften
the hard fats in either case. but the
butter cannot be made quite so good
anyhow, as butter from fresh cows

Guarding Ones Speech.
Baltimore Sun.

The story of the boy who crie'
s'wolf" SO often that when the wolf real
ly came his cries passed UNDECIDED ha
many practical illustrations. The DO,
had simply lost reputation and was no
believed. That Is the fate of all wht
tell lies when their character becomes
known they are not believed, no mat
ter how earnestly they may protest
they are telling the truth. Such loss
of reputation is very serious matter
especially for young men and women
whose success in BUSINESS life is sure
to depend in .very great degree upon
their good reputation They should
guard it not only, by exemplary conduct
in the fulfilment of engagements, the
discharge of duties, &C., but by truth
telling exactness IN their reports and
speeches. Those who are careless in
this respect, though they may never
consciously tell an untruth, soon be-
come known as inexact and unreliable.
and what they may say loses much of
the weight it would carry if they had
maintained good reputation. One
who is given to exaggeration has all
his sayings discounted, so that he finds
1t impossible to convey to those who
know him an adequate idea of some
really great event. He has, through a
habit OF exaggeration, lost to some ex-
tent the power OF speech. Moreover.
men who exaggerate usually defeat
their own purpose even with. those who
are strangers to them and do not know
their faults. It used to be the rule of |
a writer somewhat famous for the
strength of his expressions to write
from the fullness of his heart and then
when in calmer mood to strengthen
his article by removing therefrom near
1y all of the adiectives he had original |
ly employed. It is fact that extray- !
agance of statement weakens declara-
ton, and there is no part of speech OIL
which more sparing and thoughtful use
should be made than adjectives, and es-i
pecially superlatives. The boy who
cried wolf too often has another COM
panlon in the common scold. People
who are always complaining OF others
SO lnjure their reputation that they
find themselves unable to get real
grievance redressed. It seems to be
the old tale revived, and those who are
forced to listen to it really pay no heed
The scold is most mischievous in the
family circle, especially If he or che
has to deal with young ;children. The
parent who is continually scoldinq soon
loses control of the child and finds fresh
grievances in the latter's indifference
to rebuke. One who, after living in a
quiet neighborhood, settles near a rail-
road line finds the unaccustomed no;s-
es almost intolerable, but after time
scarcely notices them. So also the

SOMETHING MAY HAPPEN.
A Good Deal OF Activity Among the
Railway Magnates-The PccOs
Valley Survey and KeOr-
ganixatiOn.

As announced in these columns Yester-
day, Chief Engineer Ballard, with corps
of assistants, will leave Roswell on Mon
day next to permanently locate the line
OF the Pecos valley railway to Texas
connection.
Whether or not construction will imme-
diately follow the completion of the sur
vey is not known. The company has made
no further announcement of its intentions
other than that permanent survey will
be made. But it is reasonable to sup
pose from this move that actual building
operations are not far of. It will re-
ouire two months for the engineer corps
to com plete its work. The preliminary
line was run something over year ago,
and the survey now to be made will make
expedient alterations deemed best by
Engineer Ballard and permanently es-
tablish the route.
The point in Texas to which the line
will be permanently located-Amarillo or
Washburn-has not been announced. The
first months work of the corps will be in
New Mexico, the expiration of that time
probably bringing it to the dividing line
between Texas and New Mexico. Five
miles this side of the state line is the
point where the divergiug preliminary
lines leave the main route and run one to
Amarillo and one to Washburn. Ere the
engineering party reach that point the
terminus will have been decided upon
and instructions forwarded to run out
the selected line. The construction of
the road to Amarillo can be accomplished
With the least expense; though ii that ID
the terminus it will be necessary to build
twenty-five miles of road southeast to
connect with the Santa Fe at Panhandle.
If built to Wasburn, only twelve miles
will be necessary. But, as has been said,
that point has not yet been determined.
or at least is not announced.
