It Is strange that no one but a Kan
sas pastor, full OF the life and energy
that has come to that state. would
have thought Of the phonograph as his
substitute in the pulpit while absent
on vacation. 1t is reported that an
earnest and progressive pastor, leay-
ing his flock for a vacation, left go
minute sermon on a cyiinde: to be de-
livered at the proper time. The hymns
were sung. brother had offered
prayer, and the announcements had
been made. when one of the deacons
brought forward the phonograph,
placed 1t upon the pulpit, and an
nounced that, when set IN motion, II
would give devoted flock one OF the
sermons which hal so endeared tho
pastor to the congregation. Thereupon
the good deacon set the machine in
motion. No one can imagine the con-
sternatioa of the congregation when
the phonograph gave out the song
"Dinan de Moon Am Shining" Tho
song ended, but there WAS no break
the terrible machine proceeded to re-
late a number OF up-to-date but not
very Sunday or pulpit stories. No one
understood the machine, but after 20
minutes the deacon grasped the irrey-
erent photograph and hurried out Of
the church The much beloved pastor

STORY WITH a LESSON.
How s. Tramp's roliteness Was
Awakened by the Sight OF q
Model Creamery.

I will relate an amusing incident I
saw happen in creamery l visited a
short time ago, writes G. 81. Lawson in
Creamery Journal. The. creamery was
as clean and neat as any could be.
There was not o speck Of dirt on the
floor or about any Of the machinery.
The door opened and tramp came
IN with muddy boots on. It was rainy
at the time. He made one step on the
inside and stopped, as soon as he saw
the condition Of the room, looked at
his muddy feet, took of his hat and
apologized for coming in in such q
hurry with SO much mud on his feet.
If that creamery. had been dirty and
grimy, as some are, that tramp would
not have stopped at the door and apol-
sogized, but would have gone in and
gotten the buttermilk he wanted with
out looking at his feet. Brother But
ftermaker, do you keep your creamery
SO clean that tramp will stop at the
door, take off his hat and offer an
apology for coming in? If not, try
itsand see what q Inference it will have
on the looks Of the place, and also on
the quality Of the product made.

FRESH DAIRY NOTES.

When milk is to be taken to, the
creamery do not mix the milk Of the
night and the morning even if it will
save the use of one can
The milk COW must be kept clean;
the mixers must be clean at milking
time; and the vessels in which the milk
is put must be clean at all times.
Do not aerate the milk in the stable
or in the lee Of the stable. The air
in which the milk is aerated must be
pure, else the milk in being aerated
will suffer more harm than the aera-
ton will do good.
Milk for the creamery must be milk
in its proper condition. The farmer
that has permitted his milk to get into
bad shape had better feed it to his
hogs or poultry than attempt to haul
1t to the creamery where it will be
likely to spoil a hundred other patches

The Bei1ed Butter Bu.ine.s.

One of the worst and most insidious
enemies Of good cream butter is
process or Boiled butter. When but
ter becomes so bad and rancid as to be
absolutely worthless for any purpose,
il is melted to its original oil, treated
with alkaloids, freed from volatile oil,
rystalized, and then churned with
sour milk to freshen it. This produces
q thoroughly renovated and it is
claimed wholesome butter with good
body which will easily show a butter
fat content Of so per cent. From q
standpoint too Of chemical analysis, it
cannot be considered .adulterated nor
an imitation. The only protection the
producers Of good fresh butter have IS
to insist that this manufa ctured prod
uct shall be sold as renovated or boiled
