Winter Butter Making.

hC uuCk tudI ludhCo IA
winter should be well prepared for the
business. Unless the conditions are
about right it will be difficult mahog
success in the work, as these will be
found quite different than during the
rest of the year.
First, as to the milk 1t Is more diff
flcult getting the milk clean and all
right when the cows are kept in the
stable all the time, and particular at
tention will be required to secure this
important object With proper care it
can be done and here Is the first step.
After the milk is secured in a s;Sis-
factory condition then the next step in
the process will be the obtaining of the
cream. How shall this be done? 1t
can be accomplished in several ways,
but there are only two or three that
will be satisfactory to use, as the older
methods are now not generally conaid-
cred practical and satisfactory.
The separator or some system OF
the Swedish or cold deep setting are
now most used for the purpose. Right
ly used, or with proper conditions, the
cream can all be practically obtaked
by either of these methods, leaving the
skinned milk sweet and in the best
condition for feeding to calves or pigs.
There should be a suitable room in
which to separate the milk and make
the butter, and well fitted for the work.
The churning should be done at least
twice a week, to prevent keeping the
cream too long, and thus run the risk
Of it's deterioration In Qualityttoo
sour, or perhaps bitter.
The cream should be kept cool I'M
til a short time-twelve hours or So
before churning, when IL necessary, 1t
should be warmed up to about 70 de-
grees to facilitate its proper ripening.
1t should be slightly acid before
churning, but not too sour or thick.
Proper ripening develops the nice
quality so much desired in butter.
Cream can be churned sweet, and
some may prefer this method, but there
is not that fine flavor or aroma in the
butter as when the cream is properly
ripened.
The churning should be done at
proper temperature, varying with con-
ditions, but allowing the butter to be
obtained in a reasonable length OF
time, and neither too hard nor soft
churns are now mostly used,
and are considered best for the pur-
pose.
Work the butter sufficiently to re-
move the buttermilk, adjusting the
so as to work and pack
Most butter m;slers
now pack directly after churning.
The best salt to be had should be
used, and in a quantity to suit custo-
mers. The best package also should
be used, with the parchment paper for
prints and boxes, and great care exer- |
,ised in finishing the process in order
70 insure the best outward appearance,
Is we'll as the flneness OF the QusAy of
product.
The butter should be colored when |
needed. and in all things do the best
possible to satisfy the demands OF
iealers and customers for fine quail
ty of butter, such as will insure a
.eady sale and satisfactory price.
In this way winter dairying or max
ng butter on the farm may be Tyofit-
.bly followed but it should be a Dusi-
less carefully and Systematically at

a FROWN AND A SMILE.

Such a silly little, foolish little
naughty little frown-
Too small to do the slightest harm
you'd think,
the nursery pleasure down,
And made a pleasant home as
black as ink.
Nurse scolded-Jamie sighed
Kitten ran and baby cried
(You scarcely can believe it, but it's
true),
Every smile was blotted out
With that naughty frown about
Just think how much little frown
can do!
Such pleasant little. happy little
jolly little smile
Too small to do the slightest good,
you'd say,
Yet that happy little smile kept the
nursery all the while
AS cheerful as the sunshine and as
gay.
Nurse was singing like bird
Baby eooed and kitten purred-
(You scarcely can believe 1t, but it's
true),
Everywhere that small smile went
1t brought pleasure and content
Just think how much little smile
can do!

THE THREE BROTHERS WHO BE
CAME TREES.
Gan Indian Legend.)


Can Indian Legend.)
There were once three brothers
who went to seek the Lord of Life
and win their hearts desires. One
though tall enough, wished to be tall,
er still. He had tried in many ways
to make himself taller, because he
wished to be admired and looked up
to by smaller people, and win the love
of the beautiful Indians of his tribe
To make himself appear taller than
he really was he put soft clay into his
moccasins, to raise him on his feet,
and he plastered up his hair to stand
high, and on top of it was long tur-
key tail. But what he wished for was
to be taller still The second brother
asked that he might live always,
where he might behold all the beau
ty OF the land, and rest in peace for
ever; the third brother asked to live
to great age, and always to be
healthy till he died.
Now when the Lord Of Life heard
what they desired. he summoned his
servant, the Earthquake, and COM
manded him to set them firmly with
their feet fast planted in the ground,
and when this was done, the three
brothers were turned to pine trees.
The Lord of Life paid heed to their
wishes, for he gave them what they
most desired.
He who would be tall overtopped
all the trees in the forest; even the
turkey tail was not forgotten, it
waves to this hour, and summer days
the giant tree sways and murmurs
with pride.
The second brother, who wished to
dwell in peace upon the earth, will
do so while he is rooted to the ground;
and the third, who wished to live to
the end in perfect health, is still
standing straight and sturdy in the
forest.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

LOWNDES AND THE SENATOR
SHIP.

The personal relations of Senator Nc
Com0s and the Ex-Governor may be
pleasant enough. but the reasons why
II. i.ownGcS is not acceptable to the
Senator as a candidate for Governor are
plain. 1t is well remembered that when
Mr.. Lowntcs WIS Governor. it was his
,eSire to 20 to the United States Senate.
md the politicians are not ut all certain
that he has rciinquished that ambition.
Governor lowrlcS gave way in two in
stances to the desire of his friends, and
he has probably regretted it ever since.
Vt the beginning Of his term of Governor
Mr.. Wellington. who had been Chairman
of the Republican St'te Committee in
the memorable campaign of 1898. when
Mr.. L.owndeS WIS elected, asked for the
Senatorship as his reward. Persons close
to Mr.. Lowndcs say th"t he did not ap-
uIovr of Mr.. Welington'S candidacy, did
not think he was proper man to 90 to
the Senate and refused to raise his hand
to help him. At the critical time, the
| late Judge David Sloan went to Anna
polls and prevailed on the Governor to
help Mr. Wellington.
At the next session Of the Legislature
Mr.. Gorman'S successor was to be elect
ed. and Mr.. IowndcS WAS n candidate
He had the situation well in hand. was
extremely popular with the members of
the Legislature. and his election seemed
| assured. Just before the time for the
caucus several independent Democrats
| arrived at Annapolis. and prevailed on
the Governor to withdraw from the con-
| test in the interest of Judge McComaS.
| t was represented to the Governor that
| t would be much better for him to be
| reelected Governor and be the first man
yer twice elected by the people Cover
nor of Maryland. In his second term,
senator WellinGton'S successor would be
elected. and he would be that successor.
How these plans and promises miscar'ed
| ny the Democratic victories is Il matter
| Of recent history, According to current
report. the men who prevailed on Gov
| "rnor l.owndcS to get out of that contest
| re repenting il sackcloth and ashes.
| md are taking drastic measures to re
verse as far as they can what they did
in 1898,

BROWN VS.. SMITH.

vt BEING generally conceded. that
Governor John Walter Smith, in
Il the event of the election of Dem
ocrltic Legislature will be the can
didate of the Organization for United
States Senator. speculation is already
becoming general. whether he will have
the field to himself. or have competitors
worthy of his steel in the race for the
coveted seat
Two men seem to he looming mp as
possible Senatorial candidates. Ex-Gov-
ernor Frank Brown, and Attorney Gen
eral Rayner.
At present Governor Smith appears to
have it all his own way, it being gener-
ally believed, that the recent contest in
Cecil was encouraged and possibly sus-
tanned financially by his friends.
1t is also said that Senator German is
favorable to Governor Smith. not only
because he is the candidate of the Or
ganization. but with view to making
his own succession sure. by the selection
at this time Of Il Senator from the East
ern Shore. 1t is also thought Senator
German will use his influence in the
Governors behalf in return for the pas
sage of the present Ballot Law, through
which Mr.. German himself was elected
to the Senate
There is however considerable opposi-
ton to the Governor. not only in a large
number of the counties of the State, but
notably in Baltimore. This opposition
has been increased by the prevalent idea
that some pledge has been made by Sen
ator German to the Governor. that the
latter shall receive the Senatorship in
return fer calling the extra session of
1902. Whether such an understanding
exists or not. it is certain, that Ex- Gov
ernor Frank Browns friends are not idle
and that "hot" contest will be put up
by them throughout the State.
This condition has already materialized
in Queen Anne's County. where Mr.. w.

The reluctance of Shrewd Democratic
politicians to permit the use of their
names as Presidential possibilities is also
regarded as most encouraging sign. as
it clearly indicates that the next Demo-
cratic candidate will. in their opinion,
be but a v.carious sacrifice on the altar
of Democratic harmony.
The credit for the present investigation
is due to Robert J. Wynne, First AS
sistant Postmaster General and per-
sonal appointee of President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Wynne long ago discovered that
affairs i'll the division of free delivery
were not properly conducted and so re-
ported to the President and the Post
master General. Mr.. Bristow was then
ordered to begin the present investigation
and the Postmaster General is loud in
his praises of the thorough manner in
which Mr.. Brstow has conducted this
difficult and delicate undertaking. As
far back as last December. the Washing
ton Times preferred grave charges
against Machen and other officials of
the Post Office Department. The Star,
"ho'Iier lo'al publlcaton, repudlated the
charges and strong influence secured the
dropping of the subject by the Times.
The Star, it may be remarked. is the
owner of an office building in which the
Post Office Department is an extensive
and generous tenant. In January, the
President learned some of the facts and
ordered the investigation, which has al
ready resulted in removing a number of
unworthy officials from the postal ser
vice.
