FARM BUTTER MAKING.
Unless Temperature of Cream Is Prop
erly Controlled q Good Article
Cannot Be Made.

The time of the year is now here when
ences for making high grade butter Dur
ing the early spring and late fall the
climate in Illinois is almost perfect for
making butter. The early winter wealth
er is such that it is difficult to control
the temperature Of the cream and un-
less it is properly controlled a fine and
uniform article cannot be made.
The time is past when it will pay for
the ordinary farmer to make butter un-
less he has practically all of the conve-
nlences found in an ordinary creamery.
Cream should not be held more than two
days, and better butter is made when
churned every day: The important
point during winter is to have the cream
properly ripened before churning, and
the ripening should not take more than
20 to "a hours. No rule can be made as
to the temperature at which cream
should be held, but it can easily be deter
mined by experience. In my dairy room
IN ordinary winter weather, if the cream
is warmed to 80 degrees one morning,
it will be all right to churn it the next
morning. @.
When separator is used, the cream
should be churned at lower tempera-
ture than cream from Cooley or shotgun
cans. Separator cream should be
churned at about So degrees, or even low
er If the churn and room are very warm.
Better have cream little too warm and
properly ripened when ready to churn
than not to have it cured or ripened, be-
cause it is an easy matter to use ice and
cool it properly, It is very difficult
matter to warm half ripened cream
without injuring the grain and flavor Of
the butter It is also very difficult to
warm ripened cream (which Is always
sour) It It has fallen much below the
chnrning point, s.:s .ss:S II II .sfs & 7.
Every buttermaker should have q
properly constructed cream vat to have
any uniformity in holding the tempera-
/ tures, OF course there are many other
things that are necessary ii making fIne
butter, but be sure and watch the temper
ature Of your cream during cold wealth

No Place for American
Boy.

"Boys" was the subject of Secretary
Leslie NJ. Shaw's address at meeting
for women recently held under the
auspices of the Washington I. NJ. c. A.
He said:
II think that most of us that have
been boys and those Of us that have
watched the boy will have found and
recognized that he is, all things con-
sidered, the most valuable thing on this
earth. The boy is worth more than
any other creature that treads the
earth; yet, more than any other being
in the world, l think, there is less place
for him.
"Now don't misunderstood me; he is
less welcome anywhere than others;
there are less kind words tor him than
for anybody else. am not saying that
the lad measures up to the standard of
the girls life. will grant you that we
are raising a much better type of young
women than we are young men. But
we are none the less, interested in the
young..man, and none the less interest
ed in the boy. From morning till night
it is>:'stop it," and don't do this" and
ssdon't do that and "don't come in
here with your muddy feet"
"There is no place for him, and it is
time to find place for the boy, and
this is the:only reason I am here. He
never sees much of his father. All he
sees is other boys and some most ex'
cellent and competent woman teachers
but you cannot rear man without
bringing the boy in contact with men.
That is what the family is for. That
children should be brought into the
world and left to the mother to rear IS
the darkest error. The boy should
come in contact with both his father
and .hissmother. IT.. .. = =-ss u.

rlr. James keenan, has q Word to Say
About Rates Of the Bell Company.


company is getting very generous in |
their old age. Wonder if anyone sur
misses why they have become so liberal
all at once. How we'll we know that if |
the new company could be gotten out
Of the way by any Of their multifarious
ways we would be 'sagain" paying $3.50
to $500 per month for the same service
they are reported to be now offering |
for $780, 1t would pay our people to
look carefully around and see what has
been done in other towns where their
schemes have succeeded
We wish to correct. a misleading
statement regarding the charges Of the
old company prior to the advent of the
new company. A writer says their
rates were never $4.0O to 5000 per
month for the service they now offer
for $3.50 but were $3.50 for business
phones and $3.50 for residence phones
andtheir charges for party line service
| were $3.50 for business and $l.25 for
residence phones. The prices are very
far below The rates collected, at least in
some cases. known some parties who
paid $4.00 per month for one business
phone and one residence phone on party
lines. According to the above rates
they would owe those parties $1.25 per
month or $500 year. 1 paid and hold
their receipts for $500 per month for
one business and one residence phone
on party lines. This makes $4,000
year; which leaves them owning me
S2700 per year for about five years.
Now don't be misled this time. One
party paid them S48.O0 per year for one
business and one residence phone on
party lines, and L paid them $4,000 per
year for one business, and one residence
phone on party lines. I know of other
parties who paid them $4,000 per year
for one business and one residence
phone on straight lines. I can prove
4 these statements by their receipts in
every case,, and could possibly fnda
hundred more such cases, were to take
the trouble to look them up.
They further say they always gave
satisfactory service, but every one
knows that their service, was nothing
less than disgrace to Austin until
about two years ago, and until their
operators got to know every one of their
few subscribers and just how to handle
them. We can promise you better
service within very few months than
they were able to work up in all the
years they have been in our city, and
give you four times as many people to
talk to as they will be able to give, also
good and reasonable connections with
all the towns around us, and hundreds
of thousands more people in the west
ern states in addition.
Their insulting little sop in the shape
of a cut price on phones is thrown out to
bribe our people to go back on the
hundred or more of our best men
who came to their rescue by putting
their money in and building the best
telephone system any where this side
of the state of Ohio, which will be a
living monument to their enterprise
and patriotism for many years after
their enemies Aave gone to seek theil
reward.

CATERER SUES HEINZE
FOR $4,000 BILL

HELENA, Mont, July 28.-F. Au-

place in Butte for which the caterer

ers and fixings.
1t was in the palmy days of the re-
gime of the young Napoleon of finance
that the entertainment was given IN
celebration of legal victory over the
Amalgamated Copper company, and
when short time later the luck Of
the young Napoleon began~to desert
him he was not in position to pay
the bill. He was, however, it is said,
in position to dictate to Judge Har-
ney Of the district court, who was
elected to office on Heinxe's ticket,
and it was no surprise therefore that
Martin was thrown out OF court when
he brought suit on the bill on the
grounds that he had refused to submit
an itemized statement.
A few days ago Chief Justice Brantly
OF the supreme court reversed Judge
Harney's decision and remanded the
case for trial.
The original banquet account of Mr..
Heinze during the campaign of 1900
was $20,665, covering period of two
months. 5000 Of which was paid by
Mr.. Heinze at the time the parties to
the suit had an accounting. Since that
time Martin, who is well known on
the coast az horseman and pool room
proprietor, has made fruitless efforts

to recover the balance.
There is considerable doubt as to
his ability to recover the judgment in
case he gets one on the new trial, ow-
ing to the depleted condition OF
Heinze's banking account.
Since the shut down of the Amalga-
mated properties last fall, it is said
that Heinze has been in quandary TO
secure ready money from eastern back

tremendous influence which the cop

state when i was aroused, have begun

vailed heretofore.
Heinze just returned from the east,
where it is said he has been making
efforts to dispose of his properties
to the Amalgamated, offering then,
at several millions less than the figure
he insisted on a year or two ago. The
Amalgamated officials, realizing that

in their own hands, it is understood,
refused to deal with him and Heinze
