GlLT-EDGED BUTTER.
Eight Things Are Essential to Produce 1t

Eight Things Are Essential to Produce 1t
at Every Churnlng.
A correspondent of the jersey Bulle-
tin gives eight rules for making gilt
edged butter:
/. Good cows, to secure rich, clean,
healthy milk. If possible, feed cows
ON rich, old pastures, free from weeds,
preferably on uplands.
2. Milking the cows In clean, well
ventilated stable, free from all atmos-
pheric taint.
3. Setting the milk to cream and the
cream to ripen in q clean, well-Venti-
lated room that may be kept at a low
and even temperature.
4. Scrupulous cleanliness and regular
temperature in the churning.
5. Stopping the churn when the but
ter comes the size of wheat grains, and
freeing it of buttermilk while in this
stage; taking care not to break the
grain in working.
8. While in the granular stage, ineor-
porate the salt evenly and thoroughly.
Z. Put up in neat, clean, sweet and at
tractive packages.
s. Scrupulous cleanliness from the
cow pasture to the butter box.

cred barnyard, inclosed on all sides ex-
cept the south, in many parts of the
country sheep could certainly be win
tered in the yard, and fed in racks at the
sides. In this way an increased amount
OF stock could be kept on many farms.
1t is fact, however, that most farm
ers will hardly be induced to cover their
yards because of the expense-the idea
of roofing all outdoors" not appealing
to them as profitable, though they may
be willing to concede the advantages of
the covered yard. A plan is presented
herewith that does away with some of
these objections, for the addition to the
barn, which is shown in the cut, secures
a covered yard as an incident in the Sc
curing OF other barn and stock accom-
modations. The addition shown is vir-
tually two wings to the barn, with a
roof spanning both, the roof space be-
ing utilized as storage for hay, grain or
other crops, this loft opening directly
into the second floor Of the barn. The
wings may be used for the keeping Of

LOng-Distance Cunning

The longest distance that a shot has
been fired is few yards over fifteen
miles, which was the range of Krupp's
well-known monster Bottom steel gun,
firing shot Weighing 5000 pounds.
The Hilton Armstrong gun has an ex-
treme range OF fourteen miles, firing a
shot weighing 1900 pounds, and re-
quiring $50 pounds of powder. These
guns, however, proved too expensive,
being unable to stand firing 100 times.
and their manufacture has practically
been abandoned. The twenty-two.ton
Armstrong gun hurls solid shot for
distance OF twelve miles, and the dis
charge OF the gun cannot be heard at
the place where the ball strikes.

shaving in All Ages.

The confessor of Francis III. of
France refused him absolution until
he had completely removed his beard.
An ancient German was, by tribal
custom. not allowed to cut Off his flow
ing beard until he had killed his frs
man in battle.
About the year 200 b. C. the Roman
Emperor Sclpio Africanus inauguar-
ated the custom of shaving among the
Roman mobiles.
Henry |. of England wore a beard un'
til n courageous preacher leveled his
eloduence at him to such good pur-
pose that he submitted to be shaved.
From the time of Julius Caesar I'M
til the advent of William the Con,
oueror the Britons wore mustachcs,
but the clergy, after the conversion
of the islanders. were forced to shave
by law.
One of the early Popes established
the shaving of Roman Catholic priests
to distinguish them from the patriots
of Constantinople The priests of the
Greek church still wear boards.
Peter the Great of Russia laid a
tax on boards, and dclinquents were
forced to have their faces shaved with
a blunt razor or to have the hairs pull
ed out with pincers. SO everybody
shaved.
The first shaving was done by order
of Alexander the Great, who forced
the Greek warriors to cut off their
boards. as he found them awkward i'm

Apple Blossoms.

oh. apple, apple blossoms,
As in the long ago,
Love weds the golden moments
Where apple blossoms blow!
The pretty apple blossoms,
That whisper every breeze;
We love the dainty blossoms
That pink the apple trees.
The bee may seek the clover,
Amid the honey dew,
And fan the sunny seconds
With wings of golden hue;
The hum bird, from the roses,
The blush may steal away,
Or, 'mong the pretty posies,
Loves sweetest tribute lay
But mine are apple blossoms,
Perfuming every breeze;
The peerless apple blossoms
That pink the apple trees.
Then take the May May time,
That balmy breezes bring
With mead-lark in the meadow
And robin by the spring
The grasses green, and greener
That ever grow again
The wild plum spreading incense
To gods of glade and glen;
But give me apple blossoms;
Oh. bring me every breeze
That kisses all the blossoms
That bloom on apple trees!

liams, the late cashier Of tho Traders Ma

charged with embezzling S35 600 of the
banks funds. The warrant was sworn
out by President Porter before United
States Commissioner Colburn. 1t is alleg-
ed that Williams used the funds of the in
stitution in speculating in coal land In
Schuylkill county, principally in the
Chamberlain Coal company. The specu-
lative venture turned out disastrously, the
coal company being foreclosod by the
sheriff few weeks ago. Williams was
held for a hearing.
