Raising the Fee.

In that particular year it happened
that the national political convention
Of which we are speaking was held in
some other town than Chicago, and the
place was crowded.
This is how it came to pass that Colo
mel Hankthunder, who went merely as
prominent citizen Of the republic and
had not taken the precautiOn to engage
a room beforehand, found himself shut
out of the hotels and compelled to
choose lodgings from a list of eligible
private dwellings.
The woman of the house near the
corner of Fish street and Potato ave-
nue., the first residence at which he
called. showed him the only room she
had to spare.
THAT suits me, ma'am," he said.
"How much will it cost me for board
and lodging here for the next four
days"
We'll" she answered, this is not :
regular boarding house, and l am only
taking boarders because 1 want to ed
ucate my boy for a lawyer. I shall
have to charge you So for the four
days"
Madam" loftily rejoined the colonel,
taking out his pocketbook, you will
never educate your boy for a lawyer by
giving such an example as that. I will
pay you $1O."-Chicago Tribune.

WASHING VI, BUTTER.
CAange Of Methods Within the Past
Five Years.


Change Of Methods Within the Past
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 a 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 a changed taste of the
consumers. We all know, or ought to
know, that the demand is for milder
butter Of late years, and that 1t shall
be lighter colored and lighter salted.
for delicacy is cash now. So, to get
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 over
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 buttermilk.
But now cream is not overripe, not
when in charge Of the right kind Of
. butter maker, as he watches that part
as it never was watched a few years
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
nu..ious churn flavor to be washed out.
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 a churn after
it is scalded 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 creamery churn washed
last with cold water will tell a tale
when the finger is examined. even to
a blind man, if be has good working
smelling apparatus.

MAYDOLE'S HAMMER.
(Hsnson's Plaster Is Pains Master

When Maydole was told that he made ga
pretty good hammer" he said, mo, don't
make pretty good hammer make the

Every carpenter who saw Maydole ham,
mer wanted one. It was of the best ma
terial, perfectly balanced, and the head
never flew off. Hammers were divided into
two classes-1st, Maydole's; I'd, all the rest.

As the name of Maydole stood for hammers
the name Of Benson stands for plasters-
the ''real thing" All the medicinal poten-
cies that are valuable in plaster are in
Benson's. Capsicum, Strengthening. and
Belladonna plasters are out Of date.

Water In RutfeP.

The Iowa experiment station has
been making 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 (52
degrees) and the wash water warm
60 degrees). The least amount Of
water was found where the tempera-
ture was II degrees at churning and
the wash water was 40 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, wheH
1t was desired to make butter rather
free from water.

OIeo and Process Butter.

1t is asserted that the renovated or
process butter can be readily and sure
Iy detected by placing a small piece on
a glass plate and pressing it to a thin
film with a cover glass. 1t gives out a
notified appearance of blue and yellow
under microscope with a selenite
plate. while with butter freshly made
there was only plain blue appearance.
The yellow appearance was due to fat
crystals formed by heating and cooling
during the renovating process Normal
butter has no crystals. Oleomargarine
shows the crystallized appearance even
more plainly than the renovated but
ter, which is due to the lard and tallow
in it. as those substances crystalline
easily. Out Of over $50 samples Of
alleged butter tested in this way So
showed signs by capitalization of hav-
ing been melted and cooled again, and
most of these they were able to trace
back to the renovating factories. While
other tests were used on some of the
samples this seems to be the most
reliable.-American Cultivator.

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 II a few min
utes after being removed from the re-
frigerator. An examination Of this but
ter showed it was wholly unfit for mar

greasy condition and bad flavor: Bull

When my little son could scarcely
walk, says Rev. C. T. Brady, a west
ern missionary, l took him to the
cathedral one day. when returned
for something l had forgotten after
morning service.
I left the child In the nave, and
when Invent back to him he had ad-
vanced half way up the middle aisle
and was standing where the sun threw
golden light about his curly head.
A tiny object he was in that great
church.
1t was very still. He was looking
about in every direction in the most
curious and eager way. To my fancy
he seemed like q little angel when he
said in his sweet, childish treble, which
echoed and re-echoed beneath the
raulted roof:
Papa, where's Jesus? Where's
Jesus? '
He had been told that the church
was the house of, the Saviour. and on
this, his first, visit he expected to see
his LORD.
That baby is quite grown up now.
Est IN the fai1test particular does he
resemble an angel The other day,
when I rode of to the wars, he aston
ished even me with this request:
Papa, If you get wounded, don't for
get to bring me the bullet that knocks
you out. l want it for a souvenir for
my collection"
Fortunately for me, If unfortunately
for him, brought him no bullet.

GRADE GUERNSEY.

and best general fertilizer, and no land
can be brought into high state Of fer
tility without it. 1t would pay to keep
a few cows on every farm even though
no profit resulted from the sale of milk
and butter. Crops grown on land to
which barnyard manure has been ap-
piled suffer much less during dry sea-
son from a lack Of moisture than would
otherwise be the case.
Cotton growing is essentially q one
crop system in which the fertility Of
the soil is lessened each year. The adj
vantages of cotton growing lie in the
fact that the crop can be easily raised
and it can always be sold at some price.
At the prices which prevailed during
the past eight years, the majority OF
the cotton growers Of Georgia have
not made their living expenses. With
the increased cotton acreage of foreign
countries. especially Egypt, the future
price of cotton is quite apt to be as low
as at any time in the past. The price
will doubtless vary FROM year to year,
as heretofore. depending upon the
"Orlu visible supply, Dul IL Is Sdle
to say that the average price for any
series Of years will be 5 cents per
pound or less.
Dairying. on the other hand, is the
foundation Of diversified farming, a sys-
TEN wherein the farmer is not depend
ent upon any one crop for his living.
There is always market for good but
ter, and, where the dairy farmer grows
the feed for his cattle, the butter will
not cost one half what it can be sold
for. The butter also brings a cash
price and at all times of the year. This
enables the dairy farmer to pay cash
for his supplies and he is enabled
to get them cheaper than otherwise.
But, most important of all. the dairy
farmer is constantly enriching his land,
and as the fertility of the soil increases
from year to year, more crops. better
crops. and cheap crops are produced.
This leads to the use Of improved farm
tools and better farm buildings.

The veteraI editor of the Golden

he hates delinquent subscriber, and
who uses only the old reliable George
Washington brand Of truth in his
business, fathers this strange story:
"a Larimer county farmer lost a
COW in a very queer manner last week.
The animal in rummaging through a
summer kitchen found and swallowed
an old umbrella and a cake Of yeast.
The yeast. fermenting in the poor
beasts stomach, raised the umbrella.

Improvement of the Herd.

A most instructive iIluStra ton Of the
advantage to be derived from "breed-
ing with purpose is afforded by the
milk records of the herd of dairy cows
kept in connection with Cornell univer-
sity. Starting close on 80 years ago
with herd of about 20 cows. which
were only capable Of producing an
average Of about 2.4OO pounds of milk
in the year, an effort was made to so
cross and select these animals and
their progeny as to improve their milk
producing capacities from year to year.
A beginning was made by using bulls
Of well known milking strains, and Yit-
tie by little the milking capabilities of
the cows were steadily improved until
at the present time the record of the
twenty odd cows kept in the herd, all
Of them descendants of the original
20 which only averaged 2.4OO pounds Of
milk, works out to close on 6,4OO
pounds per annum. All this was ac-
complished by the combined results of
crossing with bulls of good milking
strains and the careful selection for
breeding purposes of animals whose
dams had specially distinguished them
selves as mixers. What has been done
here is capable of achievement by
every farmer who lays his mind down
to that end and operates accordingly.
Instead Of selling off the calves pro-
duced by their best mixer, they should
make special point of retaining these
in their own herds and mating them
with purchased bulls of good milking
strain. Working upon these lines the
milk records Of nine out of every ten
herds in the country could be improved
by thousands Of pounds annually.
