Gainesville, Va, Sept. THE most
bitter feeling exists between many
regiments of the Southern troops and
the colored contingent encamped near
by for the maneuvers. Standing in a
cluster of excited officers an officer in
a Maryland regiment said:
Its all right as long as they keep
the negroes on their wv side of the

bring them here for anyway. The

Every militia company on the field
is being searched with more than
usual thoroughness for ball cartridges.
In case Of the regulars this is easy
enough as their ammunition is in the
hands of the ordnance officer, but with
the militia the inspectors expect to
have some trouble.
The army officers throughout the
field are greatly exercised over the i'll
feeling engendered by the presence of
the cOlOred troops, and are taking
steps at this late hour of RELOCATING

One Masonic Secret.

If it becomes known by his lodge

THE CARE OF FARM MILK.
Some Valuable Suggestions That Are
Worth Carrying Out During
the Coming Summer.

Are the patrons of butter and cheese
factories prepared to cool their milk
during the coming summer? Don't ex-
pect that running it ove some aerator.
where the only cooling it gets is from
the air. will do much good. In cool
weather 1t will. In warm weather such
treatment will do more harm than good.
Exposing warm milk to large tin sur
faces is a fruitful medium for contain
ination with germ life. In other words.
| am sure hat air contact alone is Of
no value, and may be positively harm
full. Where a sudden lowering of the
temperature takes place when exposed
to the air results may be eminently sat
~isfactory, even though germs may be
present, the low temperature retarding
their development. II the, aerator is
kept scrupulously clean-and, by the
way, 1t is one of the utensils that gets
the least care-andt the operation is per-
formed in a pure, clean atmosphere, I
have no protest to make: but, as ordi-
narily done. in close proximity to a sta
BILE, near the corner of a barn where
there Is an air current carrying germ
laden dust, there is danger of contain
iration, and a protest is necessary.
There is n safe, sure way to care for
highs milk where hauling is done once
a day. Use 40-quart cans, standing them
in ice water Immediately after the milk
is drawn, occasionally stirring until the
milk is cooled to so degrees. will guar
antee. if sufficient care is exercised in
milking and in strainers, and if pals
are clean, that this milk will make good
butter or cheese.
This old notion that milk had an an
imal odor or cowy flavor has been buried
since farmers have come to practice
cleanliness in milking and to keep the
COW manure out of the milk pail.-H. E.
Cook, in N. Y. Tribune-Farmer.

NOTES FOR BUTTER MAKERS
To Secure Satisfactory Results Cows
Must Be Well Fed and Utensils
Kept Clean.

Keep dairy COWS in z good pasture;
give them plenty of pure water to
drink; give them plenty of pea vine
and other nutritious hays, and about
five pounds of c%ottonseed meal per day.
Keep the COW and everything used
in the dairy clean.
Strain the milk through two thick
nesses OF cheese cloth as soon as
milked. Skim by means of a separa-
tor. Put the cream into a refrigera-
tor where the temperature is rs de-
grees. When the cream is sufficiently
sour, strain through a wire-gauze
strainer into a barrel or box churp.
Add sufficient butter color to give the
butter a nice straw color. Use a dairy
thermometer at all times and have the
temperature of the cream at about 56
degrees in the summer and so degrees
in the winter. Do not fill the churn
over one-third full. Revolve the churn
crank just fast enough to cause the
cream to fall from one side of the
churn to the other with full force.
Stop the churn as soon as the butter
particles are about the size of wheat
kernels. Draw off the butter milk and
wash the butter first. in cold brine and
then in cold clear water. Remove the
butter from the churn, add an ounce
of salt for every pound and work un-
til the salt is evenly distributed

Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire House
hold Against Catarrhal
Diseases.

One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our
changeable climate. To protect the
family from colds and coughs is always
u serious problem, and oftenimpossible.
Sooner or lateri is the inevitable fate
of every one to catch cold. Care N
avoiding exposure and the use of proper
clothing willprotect from the frequency
and perhaps the severity of colds, but
with the greatest of precautions they
will come. This is Il settled fact of
human experience. Everybody must
expect to be caught somewhere or
somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or a
draught, or damp clothes, or it may be
one of a thousand other little mishaps,
but no one is shrewd enough to always
avoid the inevitable catching cold.
There is no fact of medical science
better known than that Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located. Thousands
of families in all parts of the United
States are protected from colds and
catarrh by Peruna. Once in the family
Peruna always stays. No home can
spare Peruna after the first trial of it.
