Unless cream can be kept so cool that
the bacteria cannot grow, says Hoard's
Dairyman, it is better to churn twice:
or three times a week than less often.
At this time more than any other the
COW requires warm, dry quarters and
nourishing food, to put her strength in
condition and give her strength to sus-
tain the ordeal Of giving birth to her
young.
The condition of the cream at the
time Of churning has much to do with
the quality Of the butter. Whenever
the cream is too sour it becomes faint
ed and taints the butter, destroying
its flavor.
German expo ments prove that it
takes one quarter longer to churn
sweet cream and more OF its tat re-
mains in the buttermilk than IN the
case OF sour cream Also that deep
setting yields less butter than the skp-
arator method. The best results were
from thick, well ripened separator
cream churned at 9 low temperature.

A dairy writer says that while it is
true that some thin cows and some
very fat cows are long and persistent
mixers, yet the rule is that the COW
for steady work in milk giving carries
a good quantity of fat on her bones
and always looks to be in good, COM

SITE F0RI HIW PRINT[aI
Public Buildings Committee On
a Tour Of inspection.
SEVERAL SQUARES VIEWED
General Sentiment Is That the Next
Government Printing Office Ought
to Be as Close as Practicable to the
Capitol and the Executive Depart
ments-NO Final Action Yet A while.

Seven members OF the House Committee on
Public uiIdings and Grounds this morning
began the work OF selecting site for ne W
Government Printing Office.
1t had been expected that the subcon-
mittee. consisting OF Messrs. Millikin,
Morse and Banklead would make prelini-
mary investigation ard report. but action OF
this character has been from time to time
found inipracticabic and the probability OF
a short session has strengthened the belief
that speedy action should be taken.
For this reason The iuil committee was
invited to meet tocay and make a general
tour of inspection i'll order that the indi.
vidual members might become conversant
with the advantages possessed by each
site that is regarded as available.
SHOULD BE CLOSE TO CAPITOL.
The party OF inspection was composed
as follows; Chairman Aillikin, Messrs-'
Mercer. Keifer, Giilett, White, Henry
and Little.
The preponderance of sentiment in the
committee has been To the effect that a new
Government Printing Office should be 10
Gated in such con.iguity to the Capitol as
should make the transaction of business
more convenient than at present and at the
same time further tend to consolidate and
group the great public departments.
With this prevalence or opinion IL was
determined 10 begin the work OF selecting
site by visiting the desirable vacant
squares In close proximity t6 the Capt. oil.
Among those carefully examined today was
the square on b street. west OF the Butler
building; several on New Jersey avenue.
including square T36; square 765 on SoGth
Carolina avenue, and the square now oc-
cupied by the marble yard at the corner of
Deia ware. avenue and Il street. -
MAHoNE LOT NOT IN IT.
Several other available locations were
also visited by the committee. but the Ma
hone lot. which was once seemingly con
sideged the only site in Washington. was
not mentioned IN Connection with new
building, and no locations were examined
except those in the vicinity or tue Capitol.
No final action Will be takeIi as the result
OF the committees tour today, but it is
the intention from this time forth to keep
the Government Printing Office in the
foreground AID attempt to solve the prob
lem of Increased facilities, more adequate
accommodations ard safety to employees
