FOOR. FARM BUTTER.
1t Generally Results From doors
Which Taint the Milk.

Which Taint the Milk.
There are very few women who I'M
derstand how to make good, sweet but
ter, and some of them Go not even
know when their butter is Of a poor
quality, says Mrs. Cordelia Hutch!n in
Farm and Home. Then, again, there
are others who know they are not
success at the business and are care
less as to detail. Mrs. A. will wash
and scald her pans or crooks and air
her churn thoroughly each time she
uses it and bring her cream to the
right temperature by using Il thermOm
eter; but, after all, her butter lacks
the right flavor. She does not under
stand why her butter is not rs good as
Mrs Stones. Another housewife, Mrs
B., takes pride in keeping her milk
utensils in perfect order and clcanii-
ness, and yet her butter does not bring
as good a price as that of her neigh
Dor, Mrs. Stone.
If Mrs A. and Mrs B. would just
stand five minutes in the doorway
leading to their cellars, where they
keep their milk pans, as well as the
winter vegetables, they would soon
realize the cause of their troubles
rotting apples potatoes, cabbages, on
ions, turnips. each throwing off its
own peculiar odor, together with per-
Eaps several cans of fruit, with their
contents ooZing out. Is it any wonder
the butter made from the milk has all
kinds Of f1ayors except the one it
should have?
SO many people in the country keep
their milk III the cellar along with
their supply Of fruits and vegetables
1t is a very bad practice, fer it is inn
possible to keep milk from becoming
tainted by the foul atmosphere where
vegetables are kept All cellars are
more or less damp, causing a musty
smell that will affect milk in an I'M
pleasant manner Milk and butter are
among the easiest things in the world
to be tainted. The only way to pre-
vent their becoming tainted is to keep
the air where they are kept pure by
good ventilation and cleanliness.
Keeping milk in the kitchen is not
good thing to do, as the milk absorbs
the odor arising from cooking, and
there is always more or less smell
about q kitchen no matter how cleanly
it may be. The very walls become
filled with the steam arising from the
cooking of cabbage, onions, ETC. In
these days, when so much is said about
bacteria, who knows but that disease
and death may be carried in the butter
we put upon the table?

HEROIC DEAD REMEMBERED

Chicago, May 31.-With more than
the usual zeal. if anything, the old
soldiers and other citizens kept Mem

country come reports of elaborate OBJ
seryanceS of the day, the first gener-
ally being the streWing of flowers over
the graves of the dead of the war of
the rebellion. The programme in many
places included parades, and later ban
quets and oratory.
AT Chicago the traction and other
lines leading TO the cemeteries were
crowded from early morning with peo-
pie going to pay their annual tribute
of affection to those who have gone

schools and included speeches and

/ noticed that one great fault with
the butter exhibited at the Dubuque
convention was in the working of it,
says P. H. Kieffer in Creamery Jour
nal. The proper working of butter re-
Quires great deal of experience. Most
creameries have a large combined
churn and worker which is the proper
size for use in summer when the milk
receipts are the heaviest of the year.
but when cold weather comes and
milk drops off a smaller chtlrn and
worker would be found much better
unless one gives the larger machine
more revolutions when making q small
batch Of butter. Too much butter in
the churn is just as bad. because then
the butter becomes salyey before it is
properly worked. After washing it

ton and work as above stated he will

butter will bore solid.
Tests Of Dairy Cows
Private tests are useful to owners of
dairy cattle and should be more gen
orally made. according to Breeders
Gazette. No man who keeps cows,
whether grades or pure breds. can af-
ford to carry on his business without
scales in the barn OH which the milk
is regularly weighed and without oc-
casionally having fat tests made IN
order to know definitely what every
member of his herd is doin,. Thou
sands of dairymen do this and have
learned by experience its great value,
and the men who are improving our
dairy breeds cannot afford to do less.
There is no need in such work of mak-
ing churn tests for when the total
amount Of fat in 4 given quantity of
milk is known the amount of butter
which will be produced can be calcu-
lated within reasonable limits. The
churn can show no more.

London, June 3.-The war in South

Britain is wild with joy. The news

Without delay the news was sent to

.CHILDREN'S Carnival
y YOUNGSTERS MAKE A MERRY
MAY DAY.
Hold Revel in the Capitol Grounds This
Morning-Dance to the Music of the
Band

May Day was celebrated in happy,
impromptu fashion on the green sward
OF the Capitol grounds this morning by
the youngsters of the kindergartens and
primary schools of the city. Groups of
children. of all nationalities, creeds and
costumes commingled in large and
small groups, danced to the merry
strains of the territorial band or chased
each other across the sunlit lawn
1t was a cosmopolitan picture, a
gathering of the younger generations
from many corners of the earth, symbo-
lie to the poetical mind of the time
When all nations will be peacefully
Joined together in one big happy family
and significant to the practical thought
of amicable inter-commercial and pro-
gresiVe relations. The kindergartens
had invited the primaries and the pri-
maries responded in hearty fashion.
Some of them were rehearsing for the
big entertainment this evening but
their absence was hardly noticeable.
American youngsters, typical cosmOpo-
lites in themselves, German kinder and
English kiddies mixed with the swarthy
Portuguese, the darker skinned, bright
eyed, native keikis. Japanese and Chs
nese in their gala attire of vivid colors,
and quaint cut. Woody headed picani-
nies from the Southern states. young
Porto Ricans, a polyglot conglomeration
in their own homes but here on the mu-
tual ground of educational pastime
speaking one common language more or
less fluently.
The coloring of the picture was bril-
liant. The southwestern corner of the
grounds had been temporarily fenced
off for the especial benefit of the
schools. In the center was the band
stand bright with the decorations of
- gone plOnarchV Jrnder it's cupola
roof the white uniforms and glitterlng
instruments of Captain Berger and his
musicians cleaned. The sun threw
broad paths of banded sunshine and
shadow across the soft lawns set out
with tropical trees and fringed with
flowers. The children with their dresses
as they whirled in rings, danced the
duck temps with childish abandon or
cantered along hand in hand, presented
Kaleidoscope, ever changing effect,
the blue denim dresses of the girls from
Kawaiahao making dark background
for the rest.
Berger piled his baton increasingly
and must have tired long before the
children. Teachers helped to mingle
the groups in games and dances and
soon had a real maypole going with at
least eight different nationalities repre-
sented at the end of the ribbons. Some
doughty youngsters climbed the cocoa
nuts and won the admiration of big
eyed awe stricken maids. Outside the
fence stood admiring parents. Loungers
looked through the iron fence outside.
From the palace balconies, the governor
and his assistants viewed the scene.
Family carriages lined the drives and
passers by stopped to listen to the mu-
sic and laughter and watch with remi-
niscent youth the May Day festival.

FOR KILLING BUGS

The Board of Health has been grant
&c the use of a large KinyOun- Francis
sulphur fumigator, sent here to DR..
Cofer of the federal quarantine service,
from San Francisco. The machine Isl
the largest one of it's kind ever seen
here, and is capable of generating sui
phur fumes enough to fill the largest
chambers in short order. 1t is named
after DR.. Kinyoun, the former quaran-
tine officer of San Francisco, who is
one of the inventors.
The machine is now on the Pacific
Mail wharf. 1t is much like a fire en-
gine in appearance and in some of its
workings. 1t pumps sulphur fumes
through an eight-inch hose. The ma
chine runs on wheels like a fire engine,
and if the Board here should ever need
to do warehouse fumigating again, the
machine would save much work and
expense At present there is no lteed
to use. IT. -
DR.. Cofer has also received tvs fafge
steam chambers for steam heating of
clothing, etc, at Hilo. They are large
iron chambers in which clothes are
locked up and kept at heat tempera-
ture of 240 degrees. This is regarded
as the most effectual effective of all
distinctions. CCckroaches and some
other bugs can stand a good deal of
sulphur, formalin and other mixtures,
but the heat is sure death to all. The
two chambers are very difficult freight
to handle, and there will be cOnsidera-
hle trouble in trans-shippng them to
Hawaii. They weigh $3.50 pounds each.
With the addition of the federal ma
chimes the Board of Health now has
far better facilities for fumigation than
ever before. 1t has plenty of small
machines belonging to Hawaii, some of
them for formalin fumigation, others
for sulphur.
