Every Part Of the Operation. fseD
the MllI1ing to the Packlngs ~
Requires Great Care.

The ability to make good butter is
worth money to the farmers wife in
these days when SO much of an inferior
quality is thrust upon the, market.
Every part of the work requires care
and cleanliness, from the time the milk
ing is done in the barnyard to the mo-
ment when the golden rolls are deliv-
cred to the city customers. Use only
the best quality of table salt. the
amount required usually being one
ounce to a pound of butter Work it
Just enough to take out every particle
of buttermilk. and keep it in a cool
place to insure its keeping perfectly
fresh.
A great deal depends upon the care
Of the crooks. cans or pass In which the
milk is kept. They should be washed
as soon as possible after being used.
and kept clean and free from rust.
Rinse first with cold water, then wash
thoroughly inside and outside with hot
water, in which enough pearline has
been dissolved to make good suds.
Give particular attention to the seams
If you use cans. Finish by rinsing with
scalding water, wipe dry, then set them
right side up in the fresh air and sun.
shine and they will be clean and sweet.
1t is an error to turn them upside down
on . table. or to hang them in that po-
sition on a stake, for hot air or steam
rises and has no way of escape, conse-
quently condenses in the cans and
causes them to sour. A great deal of
milk is tainted in this way. A rusty
can should never be used. an Il imparts
a foreign flavor to the milk.
If you have running spring of clear,
cold water have little house built over
it. and set your milk cans in the Water.
1t is an ideal place for dairy. and il
will cost very little TO build the spring
house.-Prairie Farmer.

A new EXPERIENCE
PAebe Ana Was Greatly Worried
Over the Actions Of the
Trees and Houses,

She IS only . little black pickaninny who
lives down in Georgia. She is under a dozen
years in age and until short time ago had
passed all Of her life on 4 rural plantation.
Trains and their attendant movements were
utterly unknown. Indeed, what Phebe Ann
knew of anything outside of that plantation
would not make the beginning of primer.
She was being educated for house servant
and hence was not permitted to roam to any
great extent. She was busy about the big
house Ill day and at night retired to the
shack set apart for her family.
Along in the season, for some good rea.
son, 1t became necessary for the family to
move into a city. The little negro girl was
wanted, for she had much skill il soothing
the childish woes of the heir to the estates.
So it was decided that she must accompany
the expedition. From the time she entered
the carriage to ride to the railway station
Phebe Ann was in z state of suppressed ex-
element. She sat beside Miss ANY," a.
eyes took In all that passed without com.
ment.
When she was taken into the train her
wonderment was amusing. She sat GIN
gerly On the cushions, looked out of the win
dow and generally seemed uncertain con.
eerning the possibilities of the future. She
was silent until the train commenced to
move. Then her fear took shape. She saw
the landscape passing rapidly before her and
her eyes filled, her lip quivered and she
smiled audibly.

Decline and Fan of Corn Bread

DecAine anu Hall OF Corn Bread.
1t seems to us that our own people
are not the great cornbread eaters they
used to be. Batter or egg bread and
certain cakes are still in vogue, but the
honest and homely corn pone, the corn
dodger and the hoecake are not as
popular as they used to be. As for the
ashcake, the cooking of it has become a
lost art almost. We charge this change,
in part at least, to the introduction,
even in most country homes, of the
modern cooking stove and range. It
takes great big open fireplace and a
southern negress, with red bandana
on her head, to make prime cornbread.

meal serve the best purpose. Steam
