TRAVELLING HOUSES.

The contagious disease known as the
Moving Spirit of the Age" has at last
attacked the houses in Honolulu. For
several weeks past, a number Of them
have exhibited feverish symptoms of
the disease, and have moved off from
their foundations, and accepted new
situations. 4 few days ago a small
house took moonlight walk through
part of Liliha street. Several weeks
ago another respectable house got
astray and moved up Juud hill on
Nuuanu street and several persons
passing up the road late in the even
ing found this architectural tramp
peacefully slumbering in the middle OF
the road, while, SO far as appearances
went, the policeman was also peace
fully slumbering inside Of it.
In one of the old colonial songs the
skipper of a New England coaster re-
lates his singular experience in run
ming into a Methodist meeting house
in the open sea- A freshet in the Con-
necticut river rose to unusual heights,
and had lifted a Methodist meeting
honse from it's foundations and carried
it down to Long Island sound, while the
tides were sweeping it out into the
Atlantic beyond Montauk point. 1t was
fEis sacred edifice, sea-sick and desert
ed. with it's steeple ''dowsed' every few
minutes in the waves, that struck ter

this demoraliZed skipper For, in the
song, he describes all of the terrible
sights of his many voyages, but the
running into a Methodist meeting
house upon the ocean, while he was
running with free sheet, was the
most thrilling of all.
In the Waikiki district the moving
disease has been virulent. One OF the
largest of the residences, near kapio-
1ani park, during the absence of the

The news regarding the interference
of the European Powers with the Brit
ish possessions in the Orient are Of
the kind that have appeared in the
newspapers for the last twenty years.
1t is now generally conceded that the
British navy is able to take care of
the combined navies Of at least three
of the European Powers. Besides no
European nation has any desire to
break I'D her commerce with the world
by war with Great Britain. If it did,
it would simply play into the hands OF
the neutral powers who would cor
-dfaily thank her for the trade shechrew
away. In the meantime, the journals
will indulge in excited and belligerent

Justin Mccarthy, in his "Reminis-
cences,'' tells this story of Henry
Ward Beecher:
II met Beecher during my first visit
to America, and heard him preach in
the temple of his ministrations, the
Plymouth church, in Brooklyn. Beech
er's style as a preacher was more like
that of the pulpit orators who flourish
ed a century or two ago than like the
style of our own more refined or more
conventional days. He never thought
it beneath himself or his calling to say
an amusing thing in one of his sermons
if the thought came up appropriately
in his mind. He had a way when he
entered his church on the Sunday Of
taking up any letters which might be
addressed 10 him there, and he some
times opened one Of these and read it
out to the congregation and made it a
text on which to hang a discourse.
Zone day he opened such a letter,
and he found that it contained the
single word Fool He mentioned the
fact to his congregation and then
quietly added, Now l have known
many an instance Of a man writing a
letter and forgetting to sign his name,
but this is the only instance 1 have
ever known of man signing his name
and forgetting TO write the letter.

Butter Making Fifty Years Ago.

Thomas Helme, Goshen, Orange
county, N. Y, won first prize for but
ter at the American Institute fair in
1910 and, as required by law, filed his
method Of making, giving us an idea
of first class dairying half century
ago. His dairy consisted Of II COWS,
the product of the year being 2,414
pounds of. butter, exclusive of that
used by the family of eight. The COWS
came into profit in the spring and were
each fed per diem two quarts of grain
with their hay until turned out to
grass, when the pasture sufficed. The
milk was strained into clean pans and
allowed 10 stand until "Ioppered,"
when milk and cream were churned
together, the churn filled half full, and
water, cold or warm, according to
weather, was added. The churning
generally required two hours. When
the butter had ''cOme," cold water was
added, the butter taken out and wash
ed, sailed and put in a cool place for
about eight hours, when it was work
ed again and left to stand until next
morning. 1t was then worked once
more and packed away.

FADING OF BUTTER.
How the Genuine Article May Lose
Its Attractiveness.

How the Genuine Article May Lose
Its Attractiveness.
This is the season Of the year when
butter fades in the market and loses
much Of it's bright yellow, attractive
appearance, writes William Conway in
the Boston Cultivator. Merchants are
considerably bothered with this sud-
den change in the butter, and it some
times causes them loss as we'll as the
producer. The cause of this loss of
color is not always easily ascertained.
1t was supposed at one time that faded
butter was simply artificially cOlored
butter, losing it's coloring matter added
after churning, but this is not necessa-
rily true. Some pure butter that has
been made without any artificial color
ing seems to bleach out almost the col
or of clean tallow. Naturally butter
thus bleached out does not sell well.
The cause of this is partly due to the
poor handling of the butter. 1t IS nee
essary to keep all the butter at low
temperature in summer to make it
keep, but in transferring it from cold
storage to the store this temperature
is frequently changed quite violently.
The sudden change causes the butter
to undergo a chemical change in eX-
IRENE instances. It is not AT all I'M
likely that this causes the color to
change also and produce the bleached
out appearance. The greatest care in
handling butter in hot weather is just
as urgent Oh the part of commission
merchants as the farmer Without
doubt good deal Of the spoiled butter
that sells down at nominal prices is
due to the carelessneSs of the shippers
and city merchants. On the other
hand, this should not release the max
ers from responsibility, for much Of
the poor butter is due to slOvenly
methods of the farmer. Bleached out
or faded butter may be caused by the
lack Of the proper incorporation of the
salt in the mass. If the salt is not
thoroughly worked through every part
Of the butter there will be some Of it
that will become rancid. This rancidi-
ty in a very small part of the butter
will spread and in time cause the
whole mass to undergo chemical
change. A peculiar tallow or greasy
flavor develops, and the natural yell
low of the butter fades to a pale, sick
ly hue that is very unprepossessing.
In extreme cases, where high or sud-
den change of temperature hastens the
process Of degeneration, the butter
may become almost worthless on ac-
count of it's appearance. The sale of
first class butter depends as much up
on it's looks as upon it's actual taste.
1t is consequently essential to guard
against anything that will make the
mass lose it's color and bright, at
tractive appearance

Exercise and Digestion.

A COW left alone and having room to
move about freely viii usually take all
the exercise she needs and at the time
she needs it. All attempts of her owner
to force her to take exercise will prove
not only useless but injurious. Some
people have the idea that a cow that
has a full stomach requires to be driv-
en- around to work off the surplus food.
That may be a partial remedy when
the COW is blOated and lies down. She
is then full Of gas, and some motion Of
her body and limbs is useful to allow
the gas to escape. But in any ordi-
nary digestion, when an animal has 4
full stomach, which is being disposed
Of normally, rest and sleep are bene-
fetal rather than otherwise. Some eX-
ercise to maintain health is necessary,
but there is no danger that well fed
COW will not take all that is good for
her if let alone. She will take it when
it will not distress an overloaded
stomach or an udder that is distended
with milk which needs to he drawn
from it.-RoStC2 C,..!tivator

Cause Of LOW Test.

I'VE know Of a patron whose aver
age test in May was l G-10 to the 100"
says Jensen's Dairyman, Beloit, Kan.
Upon investigation we found the
cause of this very low test. The patron
made practice of milking a portion
Of each cows milk and then letting the
calf suck the rest, We here have an
actual fact, proving what previous ex-
periments have shown, that the first
milk from cow is very thin, getting
gradually richer. It has been found
that the first quart Of milk MIXED
from q cow tested eight-tenths, while
the last quart of milk secured tested II
per cent. Our readers will readily see
the Importance Of clean milking, q Job
that should be done by the most relia-
bic and trustworthy person on the
farm. We must also reckon with the
animal instinct Of the COW. She
doesn't give up her milk willingly, and
if she is not MIXED clean or if she
knows that her calf will get the last
share of the milk she will be particu-
larly careful ia reserving the best and
richest portion"
