ProperCare ofthe Churp.

The whole secret Of keeping the
churn from smelling strong or
"cheesy" and preserving it sweet for
years lies in its being rinsed free from
buttermilk before the boiling water is
put in. This water cooks the particles
and holds them fast to the wood in the
same manner that il does upon milk
pals and strainers that are not first
washed in water only moderately hot.
If anyone has noticed yellowish sub
stance attached to the inside of a milk
pail, whether wood or tin, he may know
that the cause of il is pouring boiling
water upon it before il is freed from
every trace of milk. Once on there il
only one way of removing il. and that is
by scraping-Dakota Field and Farm.

Penrose, of Pennsylvania, a young man
who was last winter elected to succeed
Don Cameron. The old man and the
young man are inseparable companions
In Washington, and they maintain ma
tual confidence. After they had seen
the president, the writer walked with
Senator Quay downstairs. and inquired.
How are things going? Are there
any offices left?'
Every few" was the response. but
as long as there is an office left, and a
Pennsylvania man Of worth wants one,
We are going 10 do our best for him"
There you have little pen picture OF
real life In Washington. 1t is easy
enough for country politicians to get
up petitions and other papers seeking
federal appointment. 1t is easy enough
for each one TO receive the Endorsement
of the county chairman, and OF the con,
gresham for the district. II is not very
hard for the senators 10 90 TO the white

1t is no wonder that President Mckin,
ley, who has been a member of congress
and who practically knows all about
the pressure for office, should feel per.
feet sympathy with the congressman
ard senator's; while, at the same time,
he cannot accommodate them, aud must
say no to their appeals for the offices.
Therefore il is no wonder that he should
compare the honor of his office with its
burdens. 1t is likely that, IL the office
seekers could themselves see this condi-
ton, they would have fewer harsh
words TO say of their congressman and
senator's, and that they would give the
president their prayers instead Of their
imprecations
But it was day Of interviews. After
meeting with those gentlemen, while
walking past the treasury department,
Senator Mcbride, of Oregon, was met
On Fifteenth street, and in reply to the
customary inquiries of the interviewer,
he said: at does not seem likely to
me that anything will occupy the atten-
ton of the congress during the coming
session so much as foreign affairs. The
people of the Pacific coast are very
much interested in the question Of Ha-

Very few people can see President
