WINTER BUTTER MAKING.
An Iowa Correspondent Writes From
His own Experience.

An Iowa Correspondent Writes From
His own Experience.
S. P. Bremen of Iowa writes inter-
estihgly in The Creamery Journal as
follows: "My way may not meet the
approval of all, but it gets the last half
cent a pound at the other end of the
road, and that is what we are all work
ing for. In the first place, never chill
my cream as soon as am done separat-
ing. / put warm water, say, 20, so or
80 degrees, according to the temper
allure of the weather, then do the usual
amount of stirring, and the result will
be that the next morning the cream will
be ripened nicely and will shine, sleek
and glossy on the surface when it is
stirred and emit that fine acid aroma
which is so much desired in cream.
Now, if all the conditions have been
carefully taken into consideration the
cream will be at a temperature of 81 or
So degrees, which think is desirable
temperature for winter churning. Now,
you see, by this way of handling we
have not lost our grip on the tempera-
ture and at the same time have been
developing fine flavor for the cream ;
also we are ready to proceed with the
churning without delay. which will also
be quite saving in the matter of fuel.
81 do not think much of the practice
of holding cream 48 hours, especially
in winter 1t is easier to hold 48 hours
in the summer and get good results
than in the winter, at least with me.
Now that we have come to the churn
we will proceed with the ohurning,

BarreIinr Apple. and Pears.

In barreling apples it is quite safe to
pile the apples as much as two inches
above where the head will fit in the
chine. If pressed down evenly, there is
elasticity enough in the apple skin to
allow such compression without bruis-
ing it. If the apples are not thus pressed
down, they will shrink SO as to be loose
in the barrel. and will thus bruise in
handling the barrels worse than they
would if pressed down. Pears cannot be
thus pressed down. They are best pack
ed with paper around each. which
will keep it from touching itsneighbor.

A Boston broker boasts Of rather a
bright office boy. One of his friends
dropping in at the Office dispatched the
lad for some cigars, giving him 81
bill to pay for them. The boy returned
with four cigars. The caller commended
him for purchasing such good ones, and
passed them around. Shortly after the
broker was left alone in the office,
when the shrewd urchin handed him
six cigars with the remark, Ere's the

The dress suit is the most democratic
raiment in the world. 1t meets the re-
quirements of good form, whether it
was made six years ago or last month.
Attired in evening costume. whether
the swallowtails are long or short. mar
row or wide, all men look, practically
speaking, alike, whether they are wage
earners or millionaires. The dress suit
levels all distinctions and illustrates the
potentiality of correct style. The
young man who has made good selec-
ton in his rented broadcloth serenely
greets his wealthy rival who has paid
for his London clothes price like $3.50.

A Health Giving Plant.

The London Graphic counsels the use
of verbena as sedative. The specially
healthful and invigorating qualities of
this plant were we'll known to the Ro-
mans, who crushed some of it's leaves
between their palms after the bath and
anointed themselves freely with it. 1t
is very good for brain workers to inhale
its perfume, and the old fashioned cot
tage practice of growing pot Of ver-
bena in the window may have arisen in
the days when balsams and aromatic
plants were cultivated specially for
their virtues as disinfeotants and puri-
fiers of the air. Be that as it may, the
scent of the verbena is generally popu-
lar and is to be recommended to all
weak and nervous people to whom
strong manufactured scents are right
fully an abomination.

bull terrier and made a present Of it to

RECEIVER APPOINTED
For the OIL Producing Firm of Bett-
man, Watson a. Bernheimer.

2arkersburg, w. Va, July 10
In the federal court today, Judge
Jackson sitting, the famous re-
ownership case of G. L. Watson VS..
Bettman, Watson & Bernheimer,
was ended, the court appointing
Hon. John 7. McGraw, of Grafton,
receiver, under a boud of one hun
dred thousand dollars. The case
was heard on demurrers to a motion
for a receiver for the property of
the company in West Virginia.
The main points were that the
court had no jurisdiction of the sub
jet and because the New York as
signee, Emanuel Bluomingdale, had
filed his bond which had been ap-
proved by the New York court.
Both of these points were overruled
by Judge Jackson, who held that
where a partnership Of this charac-
ter exists, and where property is in
controversy, that a court of equity
had jurisdiction, and that the court
of New York had acted only in a
ministerial and not in a judicial ca
pacity in the matter of the Bloom
ingdale bond aud schedules.
The creditors asked that Bloom
ingdale be appointed receiver and
the attaching creditors resisted his
appointment. 1t appearing that
Bloomingdale was assignee for FIVE
different firms that had made an as
signment at the same time in which
firms the Bettmans were partners,
while Watson was only interested
in the oil producing firms, these
other New York partnerships hav-
ing claims exceeding 5000, 900
against Bettman, Watson & Bern
heimer, the court held that Bloom
ingdale would not be disinterested
party. These claims being con-
tested by Watson, Bloomingdale
would be placed in dual position.
While not rejecting on the charac-
ter OF Bloomingdale, the court erred
to appoint him as receiver.
The action grew out of the re-
cent assignment of the New York
oil firm OF Bettman, Watson &
Bernheimer, operating in the oil
fields in this and other States.
