Senator Daniel of Virginia was at
one time counsel for a small South
ern railroad. At a point on the line
where it crossed a prominent high
way they had an old negro Waterman,
whose duties consisted in warning
travellers of the approach of trains.
One night a farmers wagon was
struck, causing a bad accident. The
railroad company was of course sued
for damages and at the trial the old
darby was the chief witness for his
employers. He answered the ques-
lions put to him in clear, direct man.
ner. Among them was the query
as to whether he surely swung his
lantern across the road when he saw
the train coming, to which he re-
piled:
Deed l did, sah."
The railroad company won the suit
and Mr.. Daniel took occasion later to
compliment his witness on his excel
lent testimony. The old fellow was
profuse in thanks, but before they
parted bluntly said:
"Lordy, Marse John, l sho' was
skeered when dat lawyer gin to ak

Magqie's Apology.

William Pruette, the singer, was
one of a group of married men who
were discussing housekeeping and
servants the other evening in Phila-
delphia hotel corridor. He told of a
girl who served him and Mrs. Pruette
well enough while they were living
in New York fiat several years ago,
and who one day went to Mrs. Pruette
in tears and asked permission to go
home for few days-she had a tele-
gram telling that her mother was i'll.
"Of course, co. said Mrs. Pruette-
"only, Maggie, do not stay longer than
is necessary. We need you"
Maggie promised to return as soon
as possible, and hurried away. A
week passed without word from her,
then came a note by mail, reading:

The Eerments in Mix:

Prof. G. L. Mckay, Iowa Agricul-
tural College: In the month of June
when nature has covered the earth
with loneliness, the right kind of fer
mentation seems to be everywhere.
Most anyone can make fine favored
butter at this time; but when the kind
Of bacteria that we have to deal with
changes to the undesirable kind, it
will then require skill. At our school
our bacteriologist made a number OF
tests to determine the kind of bac-
terra that milk contains during the
different months of the year. In
March when it is quite difficult to
make fine butter, 100 samples from
different patrons milk were taken.
Only 12k per cent showed pure acid
flavor; 4S per cent impure acid flavor
and 391k per cent rapid decomposi-
ton of the curd. Samples taken April
Sth showed so per cent pure acid fla
vor; PIT impure acid flavor. and 1913
rapid decomposition of the curd. In
April we found decided improvement
in the kind of bacteria present. Sam
pies taken May 10 showed go per cent
pure acid flavor and 10 per cent i'm
pure. This largely explains why 1t is
easy to get good fiavors at some times
of the year and not at other times.
Samples taken in June and July
showed about the same results as
May. Now If we could get our patrons
to exercise more care in regard to
cleanliness, lot of this trouble might
be obviated. Still at certain periods
makers will have to combat undesir-
able lamentations.

ward seeming, and then to hear braz-
en- declaration of shame! Tears gath
cred in Carson's eyes and only by a
supreme effort did he keep them from
bursting forth in a flood. He had
never loved before, he had never al
lowed himself to love before He knew
he should never love again, but drag
out the rest of a barren existence,

Control the Water in Butter.

A government bulletin says that
the presence of salt, the size of the
butter granules and the hardness OF
the butter are factors exerting an in
fiuence on the amount of water in the
butter. Where a dry butter is de-
sired, as for export, these principles
may have considerable practical i'm
portance. By churning cream at
low temperature and continuing the
churning until the granules were as
large as peas, washing for about
thirty minutes with water at As de-
grees to 4S degrees, and working
twice, the Iowa station secured but
ter containing as low as 6.72 per cent
of water. OF thirty-two analyses OF
samples of butter made in this way,
seven showed less than per cent
of water, from to 10 per cent,
and 10 from 10 to IL per cent. 1t is
not, however. advised that export but
ter should be made with less than
from to 10 per cent of water.

Farm separators in Australia.

1t is interesting to note the favor
with which the farm separator is re-
ceived abroad, where it is being used
in increasing numbers. In Australia
the little machines are being largely
used. In Victoria alone there are now
owned and operated on the farms
400 separators. According to the
last report of Hon. John Morrisy, min
lister of agriculture of Victoria, the
use of the machines has increased as
follows: 1886, 80; 1887, So; 1883, 1Os;
1889, 1856; 1890, 23s; 1891, 445; 1897,
2,125; 1898, 2,799, 1899. 3446. There
are about 10000 farmers in Victoria
supplying milk to creameries, and of
these at least Al per cent separate the
cream on their own farms.

Weedy Flavors.

Prof. G. L. Mckay: In the summer
months during dry periods frequent
complaints are heard from butter
dealers of what they term summer
conditions or weedy flavors. These
fiavors are undoubtedly caused by a
species of bacteria. AS many of you
no doubt have observed that the next
morning after a good, heavy rain
your flavor will change and improve.
Many attribute this to the fresh grass,
but fresh grass does not grow in a
night. Our bacteriologist found by
experimenting with a species of bac-
terra that he could produce this same
weedy favor.

Protect the Cows from Fire.

All dairy barns, creameries and the
like should be as amply as possible
protected against fire. This may be
done in several ways. If no better
way appears to the mind of the own
er, he should have a shelf construct
Led in the barn and on it keep num-
Der of pals full of water and ready
to use at a moments notice. Ere
quently fires get beyond control be-
cause the means are not at hand for
extinguishing them in their incipient
stage. Where farmers have wind
mills and elevated tanks that give
good pressure to the water the ar
rangements for fighting fire can be of
the best, but will of course cost
something. Water pipes should be
laid to convenient points and hose
made ready. The fire may never
come, but it is a comfortable feeling
to know that If it comes it will get
a cold reception. Where animals are
kept tied or locked up and beyond
possible escape from the flames Pre-
cautions against fire should certainly
be taken.

To convince anyone who has once

Grand Of -four.
The -four speaks for itself. it tells
its own story OF absolute purity and
careful milling. 1t speaks in the elo
quent language of light, white loaves
and biscuits, delicious pastry and temp
ting cakes. 1t speaks with such con-
viction that it brings the user back for
more and it always tells the same salts
factory story. Why not learn this story
of pure flour by trying "Clifton?" Ask
your grocer for it.
If you want cheaper flour buy our
"White Fawn" (ha!f patent) or spotless
(Straight). They are just as pure,
though not so white as Clifton. Every
