have no trouble with foamy cream,
If the right temperature is obtained
before churning and the cream has
thickened. l find that cold cream that
has not thickened becomes foamy
while c%hurning; and to bring it to the
right temperature l turn into the
cream gradually as l churn warm wa
ter, but never scalding water, until
the foam subsidies; then, if the but
ter does not come after churning 20
minutes, I add more water with just
the chill taken off so as to gather
the butter. Some say warm the cream
before churning to 60 or 20 degrees;
others say to 70. My thermometer for
testing cream is, first, the tip of the
finger, then the tip of tie tongue, with
a spoonful dipped f,om the cream
after stirring well. The finger, some
times being cold. says the cream is
warm, while the tongue, which is al
ways warm, says the cream is cool.
After the cream is mildly soured L
warm it so that it is several degrees
cooler than blood heat, then let it
stand in a warm room to thicken in
cold weather. Cream will SOC thicken
in most cellars in warm weather, but
if it does not, then set it in the warm
lar to cool before churning. l do not
warm the cream after it has thickened,
as it is just right to churn, but if too
cool I add a little warm water as
needed.
The less churning one can give cream
and obtain all the butter fat and the
harder the butter is when it comes the
better. In March | give my cream just

cream is left in the buttermilk. The
oftener one churns the better favor
the butter has. Cream that is mildly
soured and is ripened at the same
time and churned each day gives
cream-favored butter and is fine, and
the buyer tests no further than to
smell it; but there must be no taints
to spoil the cream flavor. | also find
that sour cream that has not thick

and continued churning does not bring
it forth, but if it stands and thickens
then the butter will ONE
Cream should stand "a hours to

Nurses Experience.

Medical men say that a good nurse
in a difficult case is better than med
icine, but when we can get a good
Nurse and good medicine, the patient
stands a much better chance of re-
covery. The few words of advice
given below by nurse Eliza King, are
we'll worthy the attention of all
readers:
81 have constantly used St. Jacobs Oil in
the various situations / have occupied as
nurse, and have invariably found it excellent
in all cases requiring outward application,
such as sprains, bruises, rheumatic affections,
neuralgia, etc. In cases of pleurisy it is an
excellent r~emedy-well rubbed in. I can
strongly recommend it after several years
use and experience. 1t should be in every
household"
Sister CAROLINA, St. Andrews Hospital,
writes: 81 have found St. Jacobs Oil a most
eficacious remedy in govt also in sprains and
bruises. Indeed, we cannot say too much
in it's praise, and our doctor is ordering it
constantly"

MORGUE ATTRACTS O W
MOrbidIy Curious Persons, Principal
Iy WOmen, Go to Gaze Upon the
Unknown Dead,

If there is one place on earth that
the average person in a sound and
perfectly normal state of mind wants
to shun it is a morgue. The charac-
t~eristic scenes of such an institution
do not tend to increase happiness or
infuse the nervous system with UNI
usual stability. But the reverse is
true, and a person whose mind is not
infected with morbidity revolts
against the horrors of death as they
are pictured through the lids of the
rows of glass-covered boxes in the
public 'viewing"-room of the Cook
county morgue, says the Chicago
Tribune.
Yet cores of persons, women as
well as men, find particular delight
in gazing through these glass tops
at the white-robed figures resting
within. AS a matter of fact, a good
many of these morbidly curious per
sons make it a practice to visit the
morgue whenever they find a chance,
and for some inexplicable reason
revel in the grewsome sights there
presented to their gaze. Some OF
them make it a sort of a "hangout'
and amuse themselves by calling the
attention of casual visitors to GER
tain of the bodies that have beer
prepared for burial.
1t may be that a young woman
will greet you as you enter the un'
canny room and with objectionable
familiarity ask you if you want to
see some unfortunate victim that has
met death in such a way that the af'
fair was placed on the public's lips
She will actually appear offended il
you choose to regard your visit tc
the morgue as a solemn affair anc
refuse to assume her light, airy ant
fippantly curious
Whenever a murder victim or some
other man or woman who has dice
under extraordinary OF sensational
circumstances finds a resting place
on the cold slabs of the morgue the
number of curious people who fal
over one another to gain a view o,
the unfortunate's face is astonishing
Some of them will stand for half al
hour looking" and then turn ava,

GATE FOR THE BARN.
Where Some Unruly Animals Have to
BE Managed 1t Will BE Found
Very Useful.

In managing stock to the best adj
vantage in stables where a few unruly
animals must be managed a few easily
constructed conveniences can be
placed here and there that will great
ly lessen the labor of tying up the
stock, says an Ohio Farmer corre-
spondent. In our barn we have con-
structed a few gates, as shown in the
accompanying illustration. The ross
pieces in the gate are made of pine,
being three inches in width and one
inch in thickness. Two pieces are re-
CURED both at the top and bottom
of the gate. 1t is very essential that
the crosspieces be of good timber and
quite free from knots, forthe strength
of the gate greatly depends upon this
part of the construction. The vertical
pieces are made of oak, being two
inches in width and one inch in thick

HANDY BARN GATE.

ness. In this gate the vertical pieces
are four inches apart. In hanging the
gate we have found nothing equal to
a strap hinge, with a screw bolt for
a hanger. The strap is bolted through
the gate with quarterback bolts.
The latch is made of the same ma
terial as the vertical pieces, being cut
down to half its size in order that the
side motion for moving the latch be-
low may be secured. 1t is bolted be-
tween the two three-inch pieces and
also to the piece below. When the top
of the lever is pushed forward the
gate is unlatched, and with reverse ac-
ton the gate, when in proper place,
is securely held by the short right an
gular piece. A light brace is very
necessary to hold the gate in proper
shape. In our barn we have eight of
these light, simply constructed gates
that serve an indispensable purpose.
At night all gates are closed, and if any
animal gets united no harm can be
done.

Experience has demonstrated that
there is no other way in which corn,
and in some cases clover, cow-peas and
sorghum, can be so cheaply harvested
or saved with SO little loss as in the
silo. And there is no feed known which
is less harmful to the cow' and her
product than good silage, and no feed
that can be produced so cheaply. Of
course, it does not furnish q complete

ito last for centuries. another mil" he will explain, somewhat tin
necessarily, so plainly it proclaims its purpose.
The great mill in Columbia is said to be one of the most COM
plete in the United States. Here, as elsewhere in the south, the
newest factory may take advantage Of all the experience Of the past
to eolip itse with THE LATEST MACHINERY AND APPLL.
ANCES.
There are other advantages: Land is cheap. Houses for oper-
atives may be more lightly built; because Of the climate they do not,
except in the uplands, require any cellars or even masonry under
mining. Food is cheap and abundant; if health is not universal the
sufferers have mainly themselves to blame, not the soil or climate.
The labor is usually white. The Boomer will tell you that the
southern states have generous labor laws; and the statement has
received wide circulation in print. 1t is true that wages are as vet
lower and hours longer than in Massachusetts, and Rhode Island
but this state of things is probably transtory. AS the industry be-
comes better developed, conditions will tend to equaize themselves
over the entire country.
The permanent advantages of the south in cotton manufacture
will not be cheap labor, but cheap fuel from nearby mines-coal
often less than half its New England price; abundant water power
and a SHORT HAUL FOR THE RAW COTTON. From the
siding by the gin house to the gray stone factory forty or fifty miles
away is a quick and easy transfer. Finished cotton thread or cloth
is far more cheap1y transported than the bulky bale.
Perhaps three-fourths Of the capital invested in the new cotton
mills is that Of northern men. But the skilled labor and the super.
intendence are southern, the wages are spent in the south and their
influence in helping to build up a market for the diversified farming
which the cotton belt SO sadly needs will be far reaching in it's good
effects.

and address a light and impairment
remark to some one else in the
crowd.
The observations of men who are
employed about the morgue are tn
the effect that women are more mcs.
bidly curious than men. A man will
enter the room, walk leisurely in
front of the rows of glass cases, look
hurriedly at the pinched and disease
distorted faces leering up from with
in, and then turn and go out. Not
so with the women who throng the
place. They cannot be satisfied with
anything less than five minutes be-
fore each body, and oftentimes they
will make the rounds two or three
times. The uncanny spectacle seems
to possess a peculiar fascination for
them which they cannot resist.
Comparatively few persons have
business at the morgue, and they do
not enter into the class that goes
merely to "look." If a man or wom-
an is called to the institution by the
death of a friend or relative they
are too much undone to add to their
detection by viewing all the bodies
on exhibition. So the crowds that
throng the little room on the sec
ond floor of the building are for the
most part composed of morbidly
curious people.

MILLSI IN THE SOUTH
BY JOHN nHNcDoN HEHToN.

Ill the raw cotton of the country in the near flu
ture be spun and woven where it grows? There
are shrewd prophets who predict it.
In every state that raises cotton there are now
mills to handle it, Georgia and Alabama and Tex
as attract northern money and are fast finding
capital Of their own. South Carolina has nearly
$50 mills. Spartanburg, in that state, a town OF
10000 inhabitants, which with confident prophecy
calls itself THE Lowell OF the South" has ~ mills,
with 465,5o2 spindles and I3,2S7 looms. There are
invested in these mills $3.50 FOR EACH INEAB-
ITANT OF THE PLACE.

SECRETARY LONG RESIGNS.


Washington, March 11.--Yesterday
Secretary Long submitted his rssig-
nation from the cabinet In q letter
to the president, 1t being accepted by
the president Representative Will
liam Henry Moody, of the Sixth con-
gressional district Of Massachusetts,,
has been selected by the president as
Mr.. Longs successor in the navy de-
partment. Recently Mr.. Long has
been in Massachusetts making ar
rangements with his old legal con-
nections to re-enter the practice OF
law.
The news that Representative
Moody, of Massachusetts, had been
offered and had accepted the navy
portfolio reached the capitol shortly
after noon and Mr.. Moody, who was
on the floor Of the house, was
showered with hearty congratula-
tions. AS member OF the appro-
priations committee he has led sew
eral fights on the floor, notably in
connection with the contest between
the navy and geodetic survey over
jurisdiction Of deep sea surveys. He
secured the adoption Of a resolution
on an appropriation bill raising
Dewey to the rank of admiral.

How Hicks Guesses.

The chances are good for continued
and general storms over the 10th and
into the storm period extending from
March llth to the 10th.
The students Of theory and fore.
casts will remember that the earth
passes an electric and magnetic crisis
each year, on and about March llth.
1t will also be remember that the
new and full moons in March are al
ways on or very close to the celestial
equator, thus forming close conjunc-
tions with earth and sun. When
these conjnnctions fall within or near
the annual perturbation central on
the 1lth, storms, ocean tides and
electric phenomena are almost certain
to reach high maximum.
A reactionary storm period will
center on and about the 18th and
2Oth,at which time change to warmer,
falling barometer and wide areas OF
more rain and snow will pass east
ward across the country. The storm
period in which Boreas and the equi-
noctial powers will make one Of their
final and worst clashes is central on
the path, covering the 2lst to 96th.

CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
Many Conferences by Congressmsn
Over the Anticipated Struggle.
NR. LONG WHIPPING Up SUPPORTERS


Washington, March 1O.-Sundsy
brought something Of Q lull in the
agitation over Cuban reciprocity, al
though the elements for and against
concessions continued to prosecute
their plans In anticipation OF tho
struggle tomorrow night, when the
fourth conference Of house republic
ans will be held. During the day
there were no formal meetings, but
the leaders on each side held many
informal conferences. The tactical
plans Of the ways and means COM
mittee are largely committed to
Representative Long, of Kansas, who
was busy prosecuting his canvass.
Mr.. Long was in consultation during
the day with Speaker Henderson, who
is taking an active interest in hav-
ing the ways and means committee
supported on the ground that the op-
position il one which to some extent
affects the regular organization OF
the house. The various consulta-
tions, however, did not lead to any
new developments in the situation,
Those who oppose the ways and
means committee continued to as
sert that they had list-showing l0S
republican members with some 25
more doubtful. II this claim could
be made good II would be decisive in
the coming conference; but Mr..
Payne and his associates. while giy-
ing no figures, do not concede the
strength claimed by the opposition.
When seen last night Mr.. Payne de-
clined to say what the committee
plans are or to make any claims,
but said he was entirely satisfied with
the situation. One Of the leaders
Of the opposition element said that
the main effort On Tuesday night
would be to defer all action, at least
for this session Of congress.
