Sir C.. Warren's Bath.

There is something extremely Eng

rem doing trimbics," as BOuncer ex-
pressed it, in the open air on the bat
tleield of Vaal Kranz. Sir Charles,
under no circumstances, intermits his
morning bath. On the occasion of Bull
ler's last effort to relieve Ladysmith
Sir Charles found it impossible to
leave his post, so when day broke on
the battlefield he ordered his servant
to bring his bath with sponge and
towel, and then and there, in the open
air, Sir Charles Warren, commanding
the Fifth division. proceeded to take
his bath, sublimeiy Indifferent to the
fire of the enemy. The enemy were,
perhaps. too much astonished at the
British eccentricity Of bathing at all,
much more of bathing in this extreme
ly public fashion. to attempt any vio-
lent interruption London Daily

The Convinc cling Proof,

When men rise up to say to Christ's
church, Are you the kingdom Of
God?" the church must be ready, not
merely to give proofs of her ancient
origin, her orthodox t~itle-deeds drawn
from the dusty safes of her theology,
but she must be able to say, Look at
my life. my work. See what l am
doing for the poor. the destitute, the
oppressed, and Judge me as you find
ME. Look at my children giving de-
voted labor in the lowest dens Of your
cities; at my son faithfully striving
for the truth In the halls of your leg
islature; and see in juster laws and
a purer life and a more brotherly re-
lation between. man and man, proofs
of the power Of my Spirit, and of the
truth Of my labors." She must answer
SO, and so must you and I, when chal-
lenged to prove that we are Of Cod

Here is a story from the New York
Telegraph: "a few years ago." said
Harry Cunningham of Montana, the
late Charlie B~roadwater OF our state
gave a banquet TO about a score Of
his personal friends. It was an elab-
crate spread and one Of the chief items
was some ~20-year-old brandy that cost
Mr.. Broadwater a fabulous price and
regarding which he spoke with much
enthusiasm. At the wind-up of the
feast coffee and Roquefort cheese were
brought in, though the latter was not
commonly down on Montana menus at
that period. Sitting near the host was
one Of his special friends. who, after
cycling the Roquefort a trife suspic-
iousiy, tasted 1t. made a wry face and
showed his plate to one side. You
don't seem to like that remarked Mr..
Broadwater. Indeed, l do not, Char
lie. Your 2O-year-old bnondy Is all
right, but I'll be hanged If I like your
~2O-year-old cheese"

Churning.

j. X. Bennett: Do not overload your
churn. Nowadays when thick skim
ming Is considered the best, it Is very
easy to churn more butter than can
be properly worked. The temperature
Of churning and amount churned, &C.
cording to capacity Of churn, has very
much to do with so much weak and
short bodied butter. The temperature
Of wash water, and not maintaining
an ever temperature during the pro-
cess of working, are the principal
causes Of so much salvy, wavy,
streaked and notified butter. If you
churn at a high temperature o will
very likely get a weak bodied butter,
but at a low temperature not neces-
sarily a short bodied butter. Usually
low temperature insures good body but
my observation has led me to believe
hat much of this short bodied butter,
so much a mystery, is often caused by
that condition OF cream churned at
such a low temperature that it takes
too long after the cream first begins to
break until 1t is churned enough to al
low Of the drawing off OF the butter
milk.

Our Cheese Exports.-The United
States has been trying hard to get
some better hold of the European and
especially the English market for a
number of years. There was a time
when the cheesemakers of the United
States had a big trade in England, but
1t gradually disappeared with the adj
vent in the United States of the process
of making filled cheese. For the past
four years the figures for our export
of cheese to Great Britain are as fol-
lows: 1896, 5s1, 900 cwt.; 1897, 631, 900
cwt.; 1898, $4,000 cwt.; 1899, $780, 900
cwt. 1t should be remarked that the
cheesemakers of this country made a
gain last year Of los, 900 cwt. exported
| to Great Britain, while the Canadians
lost s5, 1000 cwt. in their export trade.

Dairy Notes.

Reports from New York and other
eastern cities indicate that the demand
for butter is to be good through prac-
tically the whole ummer. Old stocks
are exhausted, and the new stock must
not only supply the demand for con-
sumers' use but from the new supply
must come the cold storage goods that
are to be held over till next winter.
An advance Of one and two cents at
this time therefore indicates a good
deal,

Butter makers in Pennsylvania are
incensed at what they believe to be a
betrayal of their interests by the dairy
and food commissioner and the secre-
tary of agriculture of that state. They
claim THAI the officials have been sec
reilly working in the interests Of the
cleo manufacturers instead Of enforc-
ing the laws. A large convention of
butter makers passed. resolutions call
ing upon the governor to remove the
dairy and food commissioner and
passed resolutions of censure against
the secretary of agriculture.

Last year Denmark exported 49,
100000 pounds of butter. The o
shipped to Great Britain was 139, $780,
900 pounds, and Germany received
3,200, 900 pounds. To all other coun-
tries were shipped 700, 900 pounds.
Denmark could never have accomp-
lished this had 1t not been that the
government supervision is so strict
that the reputation of the purity OF
Danish butter Is preserved. Once let
the oleomargarine makers have the
power to ship their product to London
as finest Danish and the market for
Danish butter would disappear. When
reputation Is so valuable, certainly 1t
is within the province Of government
to prevent Its destruction by counter
feits.
