MAKING GOOD BUTTER.

The all-tmpOrtant question ~ the
day with creamery and dairymen is
how 70 obtain a uniform and fine IA

plainly and lntelligentlv, il Is neces-

clufes two features upon which The
quality Of 'he butter largely depends.
These are flavor and texture. The er-

/. There Is. therefore, no condemna tion
TO them which are In Christ Jesus. who
walk not after the flesh. but after The
Spirit
2. For the law Of the Spirit of life In Chris;
Jesus hath made me free from the Jaw Of
sin and death
.. For what the law could not do in that
II was weak through the flesh. God sending
His own Son In the likeness OF sinful flesh,
ana for sin. condemned sin In the flesh:
4. That the righteousness Of the law might
be fulfilled In us who walk not after the
flesh, but after the Spirit.
.. For they that are after the flesh DO
mind the things OF the flesh: but they that
are after the Spirit the things OF the Spirit
6. For to be csrnal,y minded Is death.
but to be spiritually minded is life and
peace.
7. Because the carnal mind Is enmlty
against God. for It is not subject 20 the
law Of God. neither indeed can be.
8. SO then they that are In the flesh can
not please God
g. But ye are not in the flesh, but In the
Spirit. II so be that the Spirit Of God dwell
in you. Now II any man have not the
Spirit OF Christ. he is none Of His
10. And II Christ be In you. the body Il
dead. because OF sin. but the Spirit is life
because OF righteousness
II. But II the Spirit Of Him that raised
up Jesus from the dead dwell In you. He
that raised up Christ from the cead shall
also quicken your mortal bodies by His
Spirit that dvelleth In you
u. Therefore. brethren, we are debtors.
not 70 the flesh. to live after the flesh.
10. For II ye live after the flesh, ys shall
lie: but II ye through the Spirit do mortify
he deeds Of the body, ye shah live.

Of God they are the sons Of God

me to take an earnest interest ia the extensive
discussions that have latterly occc rred based
on the Congressional act OF 1897. the 5ecsion
