havesbeen two years in Paris.
In his short space both young men have
received recognition where the standards

honored. His picture. "A Study OF an Old
Woman" was not alone accepted and

at the salon.
Certainly. after the above incident. the
matter of going to Paris was much dis
cIssed by Aid, Miller and George A. Har-
ker. a local artist who was then an art
student. The three were warm friends. and
worked together for the same end. Finally
their efforts were successful. enough money
was raised. and the three started.
The young men took a studio in the
Quarter and commenced work In ear
nest. At the end Of the nrst year Miller
painted the picture which won him salon
honors. That q member OF the st. Louis
contingent should take the ''troisaime

regarded. According to reports. the three
assumed the modest task Of painting Paris

The results Of their second years work
were equally pleasing. Harker had re-

Soft or sIushy Butter.

Soft or slushy butter may result from
several causes. says a Pennsylvania
dairyman in Farm and Home. would
recommend the feeding Of coarse
wheat bran, cornmeal and small
quantity Of cottonseed meal. A better
quality of butter can he made by feed
ing some good clover or timothy hay
instead of all fodder or straw. The
condition of the cream is also impor-
tant. It may be churned too sweet not
be properly ripened or churned too
warm. Cream should have plenty of
acidity, be thick, be churned in cool
room, starting at temperature of 56
The buttermilk should be washed out
with cold water and not pressed out,
then slightly worked and pressed into
prints. This is the way creamery but
ter is made, and they do not put any
thing in to keep it hard and firm.

HIGH CLASS BUTTER.
How to Keep Product of Dairy at the
HiRhext Standard.

How to Keep Product OF Dairy at the
Highest Standard.
BY using lime daily it is not so diff
cult to keep down the bad odors in the
stable. says d. ]. De Hoogh of Iowa in
American Agriculturist We always
try to milk as near 5 clock each morn
ing as possible and at the same time in
the evening. The milk is strained into
a ten gallon can. As soon as milking
is completed the milk is run through a
separator and the cream placed in
three gallon shotgun can. When the
weather is warm. we set the cream in
told water, but during winter time we
simply set the cream Of each milking in
separate can and put it in a cellar
where no vegetables of any kind are
kept. A day before churning we mix
all the cream in one vat after it has
been warmed to 20 or rs degrees by
setting the cans in hot water. For a
starter we use skimmilk which has
been kept in half gallon fruit jars for
"a hours. These are put in a warm
place and are kept tightly covered. Be
fore putting into the cream we skim
one inch from the top of these jars.
When the cream and the starter are,
in the vat, we put a cloth over it and
stir often until the cream begins to
thicken. Then 1t is wheeled into a cool
place, uncovered and left until the next
morning. It is then churned. If the.
room is not cool enough, the cream is
cooled by placing large can full of
cold water in the cream vat. We churn
at a temperature of 80 to So degrees.
using a gasoline engine to supply the
power. We do not care how long it
takes, but the time usually varies from
40 minutes to 111a hours. A 60 gallon
barrel churn is used. As soon as the
cream begins to break we throw in one
or two pals of cold water. This, I
think, helps to separate the butter more
completely from the milk.
When the butter comes in granules
about the size of bird shot, the butter
milk is drawn off and small hair sieve
used to catch the butter which tries to
escape with it. After draining for
little while a few handfuls of salt are
thrown in for, say, so pounds of butter
and 25 to 40 gallons of cold well water,
which is usually below so degrees. The
churn is turned quite rapidly for half
minute, when the water is drained off
again as quickly as possible and two
ounces of salt added for every pound of
butter. The butter is raked to one side
of the churn by means Of large wood
en- fork and the salt sprinkled in dur
ing the operation.
If everything has been satisfactory,
the butter will rake like a pile of wheat.
Under these conditions there is no trou-
bic to apply the salt evenly. After the
salt has been added the churn is closed
and given a few turns and allowed to
stand for 20 to 80 minutes. Then the
churn is turned until the butter comes
together in balls. Care is taken in re-
moving the brine which accumulates
during this process, so it will not drain
away all the salt. After the butter is
accumulated in balls the faucet of the
churn is opened and the butter given
good pounding with heavy packer. 1t
is then packed into tubs or jars as cir.
cumstances require.
