She Found q Way to Quicken a Lag
gard Lover to Action.
After the athletic young man, resting
lazily in an easy chair, had studied the
ceiling at which he was blowing smoke
he replied to the pretty sister who had
twice asked him the same question:
"Bess. you know l don't care the turn
of my hand for women. Pm saturated
with what the politicians call apathy.

that visited us last summer. She was
a magnificent creature to look at, but
I'll warrant she is just like the rest Of

your sake. little one, but really had
to think twice before recalling her.
Her name was Molly, wasn't it?'
'"Tab living writes me of report
that Molly is going to marry Captain
Howker of the army. You know him."
and the sister took observations from
the corner of one eye.
What, that chump? The Internal
feather headed fiirt and egotistical ig-
noramus! What right has a conceited
puppy like that to marry woman like
her, to drag her from garrison to camp
and from camp to garrison? Don't her
family know enough to prevent it?
Good heavens. Bess, you have influence
with her! Why don't you interfere?'

the matter my dear boy"

could see the blush on the back Of his
neck as he looked out the window.
'I'm ill. I've felt it coming on for sew
eral weeks. The truth is that the doe
tor says I must go south for awhile"
and he never hesitated at this whop-
per, and she was gushing in her hypo-
critical sympathy. "It's COMPOUNDED

Butter InCreasers.

A number of the so called ''butter in
creasers and butter compounds have
been tried at the Iowa Agricultural col
lege creamery and the butter made was
analysed and examined for market
value. These substances, when used
according to directions, did produce a
large amount Of a substance somewhat
resembling butter. A chemical analy-
sis of this substance showed it contain
ed nearly so per cent of water. At the
ordinary room temperature it would
become soft and greasy in few min
'utes after being removed from the re-
frigerator. An examination Of this but
ter showed it was wholly unfit for mar
ket purposes on account of this soft,
greasy condition and bad flavor. Bull
letin No. 80 gives the results Of this
investigation and will be sent on ap-.
plication to Director G.. F.. Curtis.

WASHING BUTTER.
Change of Methods Within the Past
Five Years.


Five Years.
The instructions for washing butter
have changed within five years quite
materially and in the direction of less
washing, says The Creamery Journal.
Those who learned the creamery bust
ness years ago and have not changed
their practice in this regard may be
getting as high price for their butter
as those who wash less, but the prob
abilities are against this, and if the
usual premium is received it is because
they have found an outlet which is less
discriminating than the usual markets.
There is a reason for less washing
besides that of q changed taste OF the
consumers. We all know, or ought to
know, that the demand is for milder
butter of late years, and that it shall
be lighter colored and lighter sailed,
for delicacy is cash now. So, to get q
mild flavor, the ripening of the cream
must be watched as a mother watches
her first babe that the ripening may be
held within the required limitations
Of course, if the ripening were ever
done or indeterminate, more salt to
cover up the rankness would be needed,
and more washing to remove all but
the slightest trace of rank buttermlk
But now cream is not Overripe, not
when in charge of the right kind Of
a butter maker, as he watches that part
xyot0hnH 70 arS
ago, and less washing is called form
fact, it is possible to so churn faultless
cream that the finest flavor is Obtained
with no washing.
Another reason is that the churnS
are kept sweeter, and there is no OBJ
A change in cleaning the churn is
partly responsible for this. Years ago
it was taught that the churn should be
washed with tepid water. then with
hot water, after the butter was remOv-
ed Now it is known that cold water
should not be put into churn after
it is scaldeG out at the close of the
days work The finish must be with
hot water, scalding water, steam or
something in that line. The reason is
that if it is left scalding hot it will
quickly dry, and, as the scalding kills
any germs. it will not get covered
with scum or mold or get musty, pro-
vided it dries right away. but, if cold
water is put in last, the churn becomes
dank and musty and unfit for receiv-
ing cream. Running a finger around
the inside of a creamery churn washed
last with cold water will tell a tale
when the finger is examined. even to
blind man, if he has a good working
smelling apparatus.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1901-01-25

The Iowa experiment station has
been making a series of interesting
experiments concerning the absorption
Of water in butter which are reported
in bulletin SO. The greatest amount
Of water was found in the butter when
the churning temperature was low 152
degrees) and the wash water warm
GO degrees). The least amount Of
water was found where the, temper
ture was II degrees at churning and
the wash water was 4J degrees, the
granules in both cases being the size
of bird shot. The principle shown by
these experiments have proved effect
i've in practice, as shown by the results
of analizing butter made by the college
creamery for the English market, when
it was desired to make butter rather
free from water.

DOCTORS METHOD.
Some Simple Precautions to Avoid
Taking Cold.

A woman who for years suffered
from violent colds, which several times
threatened to end fatally, claims to
have attained immunity, says the
Washington Star, by the use of pure
cold water as a medicine and an ord1-
nary horse brush for currying as a
morning and evening exercise. Owing
to a severe nervous breakdown she
was obliged to consult a New York
physician, famous for his original and
simple methods of treatment. After
laying down the law on the subject OF
diet and fresh air, he said: You will
also go to some big department store
and purchase, for 35 cents, a horse
brush, with which you will give your
whole body a thorough rubbing each
morning before you battle. AS soon as
you arise you will fill a quart pitcher
with drinking water and sip it slowly
while dressing At night do the same
thing over again, emitting, of course,
the BATH
The cold water was easily managed,
and soon became indispensable, but at
first the horse brush seemed to tear
the sensitive skin. Having absolute
confidence in her physician, however,
the patient persisted, at first barely
touching the bristles to her body.
Within few weeks she was not only
able to do the currying most Vigor-
ously, but really anticipated it with
pleasure. The signs of the first winter
cold drove her in haste to the doctor.
The great man of medicine refused to
supply her with drugs. He questioned
her as one would child, as to leaving
her windows open at might, as to
drinking water regularly and taking

MISS MARY JOHNSTON.
Young Virginia Novelist Who Is Al
ready Famous.

Young Virginia Novelist Who Is Al
ready Famous.
Miss Mary Johnston, whose novel
Prisoners of Hope, published some
time ago, has met with wide popular
ity, and whose latest novel, To Have
and to Hold, is still more powerful and
popular, is a native of Virginia, of
strong blooded Scotch and Scotch
Irish ancestors. The family came to
Virginia in 1922 and were of consid-
cradle Importance in the war of the
revolution on the patriot side. Miss
Johnston was born Nov q, 1870, in
Buchanan, Botetourt county, one of
the loveliest sections of southwest
Virginia, with most picturesque his
tory. That country suffered somewhat
by raids during the civil war, and the
home of the Johnstons was burned.
Miss Johnston was educated mainly at
home and browsed in one of those old
fashioned libraries not uncommon in
the colonial mansions of the south.
Such familiarity with books soon be-
comes liberal education. When she
was 16 her father removed his family
to Birmingham, Ala, being engaged
in railroad building, and that place
has since been her home.
Miss Johnston has been spoken of
as ''the first southern woman" to
achieve one Of the extraordinary sue
cesses in imaginative literature. She
is more than that-she is the first wo-
man within forty years to do so at all.
Uncle Toms Cabin in it's time may
seem to belle this, but the immense
success of that book was not because
of any quality in the book, but because
of the deepening public interest in the
slavery question. Miss Johnston's new
novel touches no veXed question at
all. It only deals with an episode in
Virginia colonial history that was only
transitory and has been dead as Julius
Caesar for more than 200 years. Yet
this book dealing with SO remote an
episode was sold in it's book form,
within twenty days of it's appearance
to a number exceeding $4,000. 1t
must have some extraordinary quality
to account for such fact.
She is not very tall, and her figure
is slender and fragile. She carries
herself we'll, and has that high-bred
air tina, gives her a distinctive charm
in any assembly Her eyes are large
and brown, with little fiecks of gold.
Her light brown hair is soft and Wavy,
and she wears it simply She dresses
quietly and fashionably. Her tastes
are those of charming woman who,
although unconventional, respects
every propriety. She has travelled ex-
tensively in this country and abroad.
Miss Johnston typewrites her own
stories She spent last summer at
fashionable resort in the Alleghanies,
and the click of her typewriter was
frequently heard far into the sum-
mers night, as she sat at work on the
concluding chapters of her story. To

Five only of the II, 100 volumes were
saved, and these are now in the pos
session of Professor Giles, having been
rescued by his son, a member Of the
Chinese consular service, who was
aware of their value. Mr.. Giles says
that ever since Pekin was first opened
in 1860 all applications from foreign
scholars to be allowed even to view
such an interesting relic have been
CURLY refused. Now that the great
literary monument is gone forever, it
is some consolation to know that it
was not lost at the hands of the allies
but through the misguided violence of
the Chinese themselves, who set fire
to the building in which it was con-
tanned. The powers have much to
~ swer for i'm the way of subsequent
footing, but it is due to them to say
that they made efforts to save this
treasure. Whether it was destroyed
by Chinese rabble, ignorant of its
value or whether it was purposely
destroyed rather than have it fan into
the hands of the foreign devils" is
not known.
