UNDESIRABLE FLAvORs.
Best Bntter Maker ON Earth Cnnnot
a Good Article from
Tainted Milk.

We can as a rule, I think, trace un-
desirable favors in butter to the source
of the milk. If a farmer. or producer
as you call him, sends you milk that
is dirty and full of hay dust, which is
usually found by straining. and if hav
and other filth get into the milk. you
cannot expect to make good butter, You
may say that by separation or pasteur-
ization you can destroy these bad flaw
oTs, but you cannot make the best but
ter of snch milk. The best butter max
ers could not make the best butter out
of such milk; they might make better
butter than some, but not the best but
ter. So the undesirable 1avors for the
most part come from poor care of the
milk, and / cannot urge too strongly the
fact that to help our industry to make
better goods and make uniformly better
goods we must begin at the beginning.
We have done a great deal, but we have
begun at the wrong end; we have started
with the creamery. end, and we should
start with the farmer. And every but
ter maker should realize the fact that to
make better goods he has got to hold
up his farmer for good milk. Good milk
is the war cry; the milk should be kept
up to q standard, and a high; standard.-

would Tho Moro in Subsection
have made his nam ring throughout the
country II 1t had been done two or
three years ago, when attention was
conferred on hostilities in the Philip
pines, but Pershing's opportunity came
after the novelty Of the. Philippines
experiment had worn off and while the
eyes of the world were turned another
way. That does not diminish the cred-
it of his achievement In the eyes OF
his official superiors, and it will not
diminish his reputation when history
comes to write about HIM.
Until Pershng came on the scene the
Moros had the reputation of being in
vincible. Spain had held the Philip
pines for centuries without undertake
ing to subdue them, and 1t seemed as
though they might hold out against
civilizing agencies for a century more.
He was only a captain, graduated at
West Point in 1886. and he had a
small force at his command, but he
fought his way through the wilderness
of the island, beating back the savage
band that opposed his progress and
then having whipped everything In
sight he set to work to win the natives
over to the idea Of American sover-
eighty.
He learned their language, he studied
the Koran, and he made repeated ex-
petitions through the island telling
about the wonders of America, i'm
pressing the natives with a sense Of
the power of the United States and In
spring them with a hope that some
thing of all these stories was coming
to them. They called him "Datto
Pershing," and looked up to him with
reverence. "Datto Pershing'' is on
leave now for the first time in years,
but he won't talk about what he has
done.
