WHY THE CREAM SMELLS.
Motion of tho churn Sets Free carboni

Motion of tho Churn Sets Free Carbonic
Acid Gas.
One of the commonest causes of trou-
BILE in this churning of cream is the diff
ference Of temperature. Experience has
shown that for ordinary work the best
temperature is 60 degrees. To preserve
an even temperature in the dairy while
the churning is going on is essential to
success. But unless the temperature of
the room and the air in it are just right
it is impossible to preserve the right
temperature in the churn. The reason
for this is an interesting one.
When the cream is put into the churn
and the churn is started, the agitation
of the milk sets free large quantity of
carbonic acid gas, previously oecluded
or held in the mass of cream, in minute
bubbles, as it has been produced by the
ripening of the cream and the produc-
tion of acid in it. This acid has been
produced by the change of the sugar in
the milk of the cream into Tactic acid,
for in this change some acid is produced
by decomposition of the sugar, and car
bonie acid gas is set free. Some air,
too, has been absorbed by tne cream,
and by the conclusion of the cream in
the churning this air and the gas to-
gether are forced out of the cream, and,
expanding. seek to find vent Thus it
is always necessary in closed churn to
open the vent, which is usually closed
by peg, and let out this confined air
and gas
If this is neglected, the gas remaining
under pressure in the churn will cause
the cream to swell and foam, and the
effect of this is to produce such an ex
treme viscosity that the whole body of
the cream is carried around in the ohurn,
or the dasher lifts it, thus preventing
the needed effect of bringing the butter
globules into contact, so that they will
adhere This result is frequent cause
of disappointment in churning, and by
lengthening the time of the ohurning,
or wholly preventing it, it Injuries the
quality of the butter, which becomes
rancid and of disagreeably strong
favor.
It has been said that the temperature
l
is an important element III this opera
ton of churning. 1t is necessary that
the temperature should be kept at the
standard point, and not much above or
below it, during the churning. 1t the
temperature is lowered to any consider
able extent, the fat globules will be-
come hard and solid and will not adhere
when thrown together by the churning.
While this continues it is impossible to
gather these minute particles together,
and they remain i'll the cream much like
SO much sand, without any tendency to
adhere and form larger masses. On the
other hand, il the temperature rises dur
ing the ohurning or is too high at the
beginning of it. the fat is too soft and
is beaten into an emulsion by the chuTn-
ing, SO that in this case, too, there will
be no butter made This viscous emul-
sion, being very adherent, collects air
in the beating of the churn, and the
cream swells and foams, and further
churning is ineffective except to spoil
the butter by the contact of the large
quantity of air drawn into the churn by
the motion of the dasher or of the churn
itself. -Montrea! Herald.

FIND OUT HOW YOU STAND.

A Business Talk to Farmers by Busi-
ness Man.
A man of business expresses himself
as follows in the columns of The New
England Homestead: 1t is certainly
worth while to make good deal of an
effort to square up such accounts. If the
settlement shows that you owe a bal
ance, pay it, if possible, in cash or trade,
especially if you can get discount off
for SO doing. If it appears that the other
man owes you, it is equally important
to square up the matter, and if you have
doubts about his ability to pay you had
better sacrifice something now to fix 1t
up than run the risk of a bigger loss
later. The least that can be done is to
have a perfect understanding of the &C.
count Even if the balance is not set
tied both parties then know exactly
how much it is. This done, you are in
shape to take an inventory.
First, make full list of everything
on the farm-differen lots of land, the
buildings. the animals. all tools, ma
chimes, vehicles, ETC., and amount OF
each crop, feed, manure, fertilizer, wood,
lumber OF other stuff on hand that is
used on the farm. This list includes
everything, from the most important
and costly down to that of least conse-
quence. To see that nothing is missed

little things that have been lost. Then

must include any and all other proper

Annles In Barrels.

S. d. Willard, writing to Rural New
Yorker, says:
My experience is entirely in favor of
heading up barrels of apples, as stored
away in the cellar, and thus, as far as
possible, excluding the air from them.
Some varieties are inclined to shrivel
more or less and will be found to retain
their crisp, fresh condition far better
when thus handled, while all varieties,
in my experience, will suffer less shrink
age and be found in better condition if
thus cared for up to the time of matu-
rity. Barrels should in all cases, where
circumstances will permit, be stored
upon the side rather than stand on end.

beauty and fame of the city, but

than which no public enterprise
has done more. 1t has enhanced
the value of property, and draws
many a weary traveller to its
shelter, who cannot find equal
comfort in surrounding places.
The hotels of all cities play an
important part in the history of
their respective community, car
rying its fame throughout the
land, adding to it's lustre, in pro-
portion as the hotels are good,
bad or Indifferent. The modern
hotel is not only the permanent
home of thousands of the best
people, but many travellers, daily,
find a temporary abiding place
in the hOStelries of the land. The
location of city may be unsur-
passed, it's streets broad and
brilliantly lighted, its business
blocks and public buildings of
the most massive kind, but un-
less its hotels are first-class, in
every respect, all the above goes
for naught with the traveller,
who by reason of business or
! pleasure, is compelled to remain
at the mercy of what are often
called first-class hotels, but which
appellation is merely nominali

handed. Place a man in a

being reserved for a hotel park,

CLIMATE AND SOIL.
The climate of Kentucky, and
particularly of Hopkinsville, and
its surrounding country, is de-
lightful. The long, hot summers
of the States to the South are not
suffered here; ard the rigid Win
tiers of the North and Northwest
are unknown. The average tenn
perature of the year is So de-
grees-the same as that of the
Northern part of Spain, the
Southern part of France, North
ern Italy, Greece and the islands
of Japan.
But the range of the thermom-
eter is much greater, here, ena-
bling the husbandman to lay in a
supply of ice in winter, and to
grow Indian corn and melons to
perfection in summer. The at
mosphere in summer is cool and
bracing; and the lassitude sc
common to the lowlands during
that season, is unfelt upon the
elevated portions of Kentucky,
Chills and fevers are strangers
to this section. Consumption is
very rare, and malaria, with its
debilitating influence, is dissipat
ed by breezes that sweep so de.
lightfully over this city.

OUR POSTOFFICE.

In these fin de steele days,
there is, perhaps, no feature or
department of the United States
Government which appeals more
lorcibly to our admiration and
respect, or which is under a
more perfect system of manage
ment, than it's postal service. Its
business, in every detail, is in
the hands of able and RESPONSE
bic parties from the Postmaster
General at Washington to every
mber of the rank and file of
his large army of assistants
throughout the Union.
First, comes our unprecedent-
ed service in the transportation
of the mails, and the high degree
of lperfection attained in the
handling of mail enroute. Every
necessary convenience is afford
ed the citizens of a town, and the
post-office is systematized to a
perfect degree. Contrasting
this modus Operandi of to-day,
with that of yesterday, the old
stage coach, and other primitive
means of mail transportation,
truly can we feel that time has
opened up a new era, one of en-
lightment, convenience, and sys'
tenn.
Hopkinsyille's first post-office
was established April 9, 1904,
with George Brown as postmas
ter, with everything about it in a
state of crudity. To-day, we
enjoy the very best mail service

necessary, as Hardin county,
which was some four years older
than Christian county, adopted
the name Elizabethtown for her
seat of justice, and, being the
younger, Christian county was
obliged to give way and the name
of "Hopkinsville" was adopted in
honor of Gen. Samuel Hopkins, a
gallant officer of the Revolution.
To commence at the beginning
of Hopkinsville and give true
detail of the rise and progress
of business and industry-when
it was commenced, and by whom
lis task beyond the power of
man to perform. Suffice it to
say, that to the sound and uner-
ring judgment and foresight of
her sturdy pioneers, a solid and
substantial foundation was laid,
on which is now built one of the
handsomest, wide awake, and
thoroughly progressive little CT
ties in the State of Kentucky.
Referring to the early settle
ment of Hopkinsville, by way of
comparison, we will just mention
here that in 1904 the town was
composed of "a blacksmith shop,
a tavern, court house, one store
and few log cabins. In those
early days the merchants bought
their goods in the East about
twice year. Some times the
goods were hauled in wagons all
the way from Philadelphia, but
most generally shipped from
Pittsburg in flat-boats down the
Ohio to the mouth of the Cum
berland. thence up the river to
