ESTIMATING QUALITY.
A Man Cannot Judge of Butter with
out Comparing with Some other
Mans Product.

Most makers of butter on the farm
would be offended il told that they
did not know good butter or were not
able to score their own butter. Yet
such is the case; and it applies also
to creamerymen that make a business
of making butter. A man cannot
Judge of butter without comparing it
with other butter The commission
men that handle large quantities of
butter are able to tell very closely,
but even they are often thrown off the
scent when they go to creamery and
try to form a correct opinion of butter
without means for comparison. The
maker of butter on the farm need not
therefore be surprised if he or she fail
signally in forming true estimate of
their product. Surrounded by the
aroma of the butter and the milk, as
well as of the other odors in which
the butter is made, it becomes diff
cult for the maker of the butter to
really form a correct opinion of its
value. just as a person coming out
of the open air into closed room
can detect odors that the people that
have been long time in the roore
cannot detect, so the maker in the
midst of the odors of butter making
has taste deadened to proper appre.
citation of true flavors. 1t therefore
becomes necessary for all that wish
to make the best commercial butter
to submit their butter to the judg-
ment of men that are free from all
influences likely to bias the taste

steamboat built in the United States.
1t was built by John Fitch, in 1887, and
creek near Lexington was damned
for the trial trip Later improve
ments were made in order to get the
craft to run up stream. II is believed
that this is the first steamboat built in
the world. Rifled cannon were made
here in 1910, and ships were built on
the Kentucky river in 1920.
A moral wave is sweeping over this
section of the Blue Grass country.
Horse racing is not so fashionable as
II was in the old days: in fact, 1t is
only fashionable with certain ele-
ment--the true aristocracy draw the
line at this famous Kentucky sport"
The racing seasons are not so well at
tended, even locally, as in days past,
and comparatively few people from
distance attend. And those that do
come are largely of that class that is
not wanted in any civilized COM
munity. In former days there was
less of this rough element, which has
done more than anything else to make
race week. unpopular. Lately. how
ever, the toughest element from the
cities flock here. bringing their conf
dsnce games and jockey schemes for
swindling those who bet on the speed
of horses, thus causing distrust and
changing genuine racing to schemes
for defrauding. OF course, there are
many exceptions, but the invasion OF
al kae 4I,r
attendance and lessened the general
interest in these annual "trots." Dur
ing the racing season, which usually
lasts ten days, Lexington is crowded
with the toughest element that ever
disgraced any city-the scum of civ
ilization. Jockeys, gamblers, bunco
thieves and showers" of counterfeit
biGls-all come TO fleece the Blue
Grass natives, if possible. This ele-
ment is of no benefit to the people,
nor to legitimate racing. They prey
upon the town and the people. and
leave only demoralizing effect, and
their swindled victims.
The better element is beginning to
realize this, and steps will be taken
to prevent this influx of degraded hui
manity at the next racing season.
The usual result from the visitation of
this scum is several shooting ARRAYS,
and perhaps two or three murders.
This is an additional expense to the
taxpayers. The local criminal popu-
lation is large enough, without an in
vitation to other cities. 1t is this ref
use element which has made Lexing-
ton wide open" town, especially
during the racing season. and it is
very difficult to close it afterward.
Games run at full blast, corrupting
the youth, and often tempting those
holding financial positions to an ex-
tent beyond their powers of resist
ance. The saloons are open at all
hours, regardless of the law requir-
ing them to keep closed on Sundays

AUTOMOBILE SPEEDING.
France Alarmed by the Rapidly Null
tipIying Smash-Ups Due to
ReckIessness.

Automobile smash-ups are multi
plying in alarming fashion at Paris.
Regulations intended to control the
speed fever that seems to seize every
chauffeur, even the least experienced,
have been made excessively keen by
the tragic death of Comte Raphael
Cahen d'Anvers, following so quick
ly on the heels of that of another well
known Partisan, the son of NJ. Ellison,
banker, to say nothing of such acct
dents as those in which the American
painters, Julius Stewart and William
Dannal, were injured, but luckily only
slightly.
Comte d'Anvers had already been in
several accidents, notably one which
amused automobile circles for awhile.
In trying a new machine he steered
it right into lake in the Bots de
Boulogne. Soon afterward, when in
Italy, he narrowly missed killing a
member of the royal family. While
in Switzerland last summer he was
twice upset, and quite recently he
knocked over bicyclist and two pc
destrians in the neighb.. BOD of
Paris.
Notwithstanding all the accidents
nothing seems to turn the automobile
lists against their favorite sport. On
the contrary, new adherents swell
their ranks every day. King Leopold
II. of Belgium has become one of the
most fervent.
Until recently in Belgium he re-
manned satisfied with modest tri-
cycle, upon which, while riding last
year in the park of his chateau at
Laeken, he met with a tumble that
laid him up for several days. Since
he has been here. however. his maj
esty appears to have become enamored
of automohiling, and is making rapid
progress in the sport. lie is TO be
met almost every day upon the high
ways, with his eyes protected by the
big BLACK spectaelcs so dear to the
heart of the true chauffeur, practic-

ENGLISH SEEK THE CITIES.
Exodus from the Country Cuts Down
Great Britain's Farm
Products.

The end of the English harvest once
more draws attention to the depend
ence of England on the United States
for the necessities of life, says the Phil
adelphia Ledger. Five loaves out of
six now eaten in England come from
abroad. Scarcity of agricultural la
Dor has been accompanied by decline
in its quality. The farmer pays higher
wages for inferior work. The old semi
feudal relationship, which in many
country districts existed 20 years ago,
has been dispel.ed by cheap locomo-
ton and the halfpenny press. The ex.
odus from the country to the town
continues, and those who run may
read signs of the physical decadence
of that nation from this cause. A few
more strikes, another ten shillings a
ton on coal, little more foreign COM
petition and the trade upon which they
live may disappear. The dangers of
the situation are beginning to attract
attention at last.
Across the channel the French peas

borer could stand for a month He

1T IS NASTY STUFF.
Docforing Rancid Butter Is New ana
Very Dangerous Fraud on
Housekeepers.

process butter is one of the new
substances which seems to hold a
halfway place between oleomar-
garine and butter. Virtually it IS
butter without its glycerin eonstitu-
ent, and the reason of the absence OF
the glycerin involves story.
process butter" said Dr. j. A.
Wesner, of the Columbus food lab
oratory, us one of the most subtle
of butter frauds, for the reason that
it is butter-with a difference.
''In the beginning, much of the
good butter made becomes rancid for
lack of a ready and favorable mar
ket. In addition to this, thousands
of pounds of butter is bad when 1t
is new-made. These are the bases for
the process butter maker. He buys
this rancid butter in large quantl-
ties and ships it TO his plant in the
country. He may have a dairy or
small creamy in connection with this
plant. If so. it is all SO much the
easier.
"Vats filed with sweet milk and
having machinery for working but
ter are ready for this rancid stock.
and it is dumped into the mixers,
where it is washed and mixed and
worked thoroughly. This sweet milk
bath removes the rancid flavor from
the butter, but incidentally it dis
solves the glycerin that is in fresh
butter. This glycerin element is that
which causes butter to hold its shape
when nodded. and it is there that
the person using the counterfeit can
detect the imposition.
"After this bath in milk, the
worked-over butter has only fatty
acids in it and these are subject TO
the slightest degrees of heat. The
normal temperature of a dining-room
in winter will cause the process but
ter to lose its shape, while summer
warmth makes it melt fiat into dish.
There is a general lack of flavor in
this butter. but except for the readi-
ness to melt in low temperatures the
ordinary person would be easily de-
ceived
''Oli the market, as rule, this
butter sells only two or three cents
under tn. best in the shops. 1t is in
ferior in every respect and most per-
sons eating it would turn from it If
they knew it came from the cast-off
stuff from diaries, creameries, and
the retail and wholesale shops"

IN vENGEFUL MOOD.
An Injured Woman Who Couldn't
Find Punishment severe Enough
for Her Husband

The woman stepped inside the sta
ton house door and stood looking
around the room. 1t was a pleasant
morning, the windows were open, adj
hitting a refreshing breeze, and the
trees in front cast cooling shade
over the front of the building. The
place seemed more like the com
Portable Office of wayside inn than
city police station. The official be-
hind the desk took off his cap and
bowed, for the lady was not such as
he was wont to receive there She
came over within conventional con-
versation distance and bowed slightly
to the official, says the Washington
Star.
This is the police station house,
isn't it?" she inquired.
Eyes, madam" replied the officer
"This is where they bring prisoners
when they arrest them, isn't it?"
''Yes, madam"
"Do you keep them here until you
are through with them?"
"oh, no; we lock them up in the
cell ROOM
Indeed! May l see that?''
Certainly, madam" ana the polite
official, bowling, escorted his strange
visitor through the heavy door into
the cell room.
1T was empty and still and clean,
and the fresh air of the morning had
got in and made it most attractive in
its cool cleanness. She looked around
for a minute or more.
do you shut the prisoners in those
iron cages?" she asked.
"Yes, madam"
"What do you feed them?"
"We don't feed them. We do not
keep them here long enough for that"
where do they sleep?'
'On the benches you see in the
cells"
How do you punish them?"
"We don't punish them at all. That
is not our part of the business"
She looked surprised.
Don't you put irons on them, OF
gag them, or douse them in ice water.
or put them in straigh Jackets, or tie
them up by the thumbs. or whip them
with cat-and-nine-tails, or shut them
in a dark room, or something like
that?"
Certainly not, madam" and it was
the officials turn TO be surprised.
That is ALL" she said, and started
for the other room again. Once there,
she stood by the desk again.
II have a husband she said. medi-
tatively, rather than didactically,
"who comes home about five nights
week drunk and disorderly and was
thinking of having him arrested, as
l have stood it about as long as
cam
you ought to do it, madam, If he
is ugly" suggested the official
'He is ugly" she said, with empha-
sis.
"Then have him arrested"
NO" she said, as she started to
leave; mo, ! guess | won't. | am
much obliged to you for your polite
ness, but this is altogether too good
for him."
