quite respectable position. but was
fast drifting into a reckless, vagrant
life. He was fond of recalling his as
ISOLATION with the novelist, but never
told any anecdotes about him. He
accompanied Dickens on his reading
tours, and his services were greatly
appreciated. On one occasion Dickens
wrote from Liverpool, Dolby would
do enything to tighten the work, and
does everything" In another letter
from Glasgow, he described him az

Then he realized that in losing his
wife he had not yet suffered the great
est of pains and that in two days q
new born anguish had come to him.
In his double distress he felt jealousy
of the dead.
During the entire week he revisited
the place and each time he saw the
fancied rival. At last the painter
feigning Indifference, naively and
clumsily observed:
Zine painting isn't it,"

in It. It is further asserted that II all
OF these globules could be. removed

We doubt the assertion very much.
The color Of the butter fat doubtless
exerts a great influence on the color OF
the milk, but we do not believe that it
does on the opacity.
The dehorning Of dairy cows is com
ing into practice more and more.
When possible they should be treated
in calfhood so that no horns will
grow, but when this has not been done
it Is better to dehorn them than to
permit the horns to remain. As to
time Of dehorning some dairymen ex-
press a preference for winter, as at
that time flies are not troublesome.
The cow should never be subjected
to the v strain attendant upon
d%ehorning at any critical period or
near 1t. Parturition is one of those
periods. The dehorning should not
take place within six. weeks OF the
time when the COW .is due to calve nor
should it be done after calving till
at least six weeks have elapsed.
As to the morals of dehorning we
think there is no question. Probably
the COW that is dehorned suffers no
more than the man that has a couple
Of teeth pulled. II the horns are not
removed other animals and even hui
mans have frequently to suffer.

The Frame in Mourning.

BY MAURICE MONTEGUT.
Copyrighted, 1905, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
Sad with a poignant sadness was
that great frame Of gold, draped Win
a large piece of crepe in the middle
of a panel surrounded by groups OF
joyous peasants and, gayly colored
landscapes. On the day of the open
ing of the salons exhibition of paint
ings the crowd thronged before the
frame in mourning from which looked
a portrait of a beautiful woman with a
sweet face.
The story of the portrait and its
frame ran from mouth to mouth.
1t was the portrait Of Madame Hol-
ling, wife of the celebrated artist. She
had died several days before the open
ing Of the salon, and it vas his crushed
life full of despair that the artist
showed in exhibiting this memorial
of his happiness and misery.
Already past middle age he q
loved with doting love that splendid
creature with deep eyes and locks as
resplendent as FURNISHED gold. Five
years Of marriage had not diminished
his autumnal passion. Holling loved
his wife with his eyes, with his heart,
body and soul as artist and as nus
band.
Then one evening a cold wind a T
ried her away; she who had been SO
full. of life was chilled in death. In
the morning she had sung joyously.
In the evening she was rigid n colo;
she slept in the eternal slumber.
The despair of the painter a been
terrible. He sobbed for hours by the
side of her bed. All Paris was moved
by the hopeless grief of one OF her
dearest and most illustrious children
But caring nothing for their sympathy
or pity and isolated in his anguish
since the tragic moment, he had gone
through his existence seeing and near
ing nothing, i~nconso.ab,e and not wish
ing to be consoled.
Every morning as soon as the sailor

Rules for churniux.

-a 2 0uk01 ZOE CuUrulu8s + q -
These, compiled at the Texas Ex-
pertinent station, have some local and
climatic features, but in the main have
general application.
1. Rinse out the churn with cold wa
ter.
2. Scald thoroughly with hot water.
3. Wash out with ice water to cool.
(The observance of rules I, s, 3, will
prevent the sticking Of the cream or
butter to the walls Of the churn.)
4. It is necessary to weigh the
cream, SO that the proper amount OF
salt and coloring matter may be de-
termined.
s. Strain the cream into the churn.
This will prevent white specks in the
butter. II the butter contains white
specks it is due to:
a. Failure to strain the cream.
b. Failure to stop the churn when
the butter is in the granular form.
c. Improper washing Of the granular
butter.
d. An attempt to churn mixed lots"
Of cream Of different degrees of ripe
ness.
6. Churn at from 40 to GO dogs. F.,
according to the season and nature OF
the food.
a. In our climate too low a temper
allure cannot be secured, during the
summer season. Better results will be
secured at this a If twenty to
forty pounds Of ice is broken up and
put in the churn, to aid in maintaining
a low temperature.
b. When the cream foams 1t is too
cold.
c. II the butter is crumbly the
churnfng temperature is too low.
d. Cream should be warmed by plac-
ing the can containing It in q vessel Of
water (the water and cream should
have the same level) heating gently
and stirring constantly to insure even
heating and prevent cooking on the
sides Of the can. Never apply steam
or hot water directly to the cream.
z. Properly ripened. cream contains
from five to six-tenths Of one per cent
of acid by Farrington's acidity test.
a. II more or less acid Is present in
the cream the loss. Of fat will be very
considerably increased, !.
b. Mixed patches Of cream should
not be churned, and all cream should
be mixed at least twelve hours previ-
GUS to the time of churning, and fire.
quently stirred to insure even ripen-
,r~ ord havoc a~ho.,o%l1,o oh,,.r}r~
C. Sweet ream does not churn as
exhaustively as acid cream and the re-
sulting butter is not so palatable nor
salable.
s. Start the churn slowly. thirty to
forty revolutions per minute. Remove
the air plug every few revolutions for
the first five minutes and allow the gas
to escape. Gradually increase the speed
Of the churn to forty to sixty revolu-
lions per minute.
8. Just when the butter breaks add a
gallon Of ice water in warm weather,
and at q; temperature Of 50 to 60 dogs.
F. In cold weather, to the churn, and
continue until the granules are the size
Of wheat grains.
q. Whenever tn lid Of the church is
removed, It should be rinsed on with
dipperful Of cold water. to prevent the
waste OF cream and for the sake Of
cleanliness.
b. Do not allow any Of the particles
Of butter to be- lost. They are worth
money and correspond to profit and
loss.
