Thickness of T.

Thickness Of Cream at Churnlng Time
A well-known buttermaker says that
the richer the cream the lower must
be the temperature at which 1t must
be churned to get the best of results.
1t Is not desirable to have the butter.
fat comprise more than 30 per cent
of the cream. Even cream of this
richness should be churned at about
30 degrees, which Is a very low point
to secure this time Of year. II this
rich cream Is churned at a higher
point the body of the butter will not
be what it should be. The housewife
Is not likely, however, to have cream
OF this kind unless the milk is from
COWS whose cream forms a very com.
pact mass. Cows differ greatly In this
respect. The cream layer on the
milk of some animals is so compact
and cohesive that when 1t Is removed
from the milk 1t hangs together much
like a piece Of leather. Other milk
yields a layer Of cream that breaks
to pieces readily. This milk will not
churn quickly. In fact we have known
the first described cream to form but
ter after being churned for two min.
utes In a common dash churn. It IL
considered best, however, to dilute
such cream, as 1t is not believed that
butter churned In two minutes has
as good qualities as that requiring
twenty minutes or thereabout to churn.

Habit and Hens.

Anyone that has had the feeding Of
fowls for a number of years will no.
t1ce what creatures of habit they are.
They become used to one kind Of feed
and want to stick to that feed, in pref
erence to other feeds of the same gen.
eral character. That Is II the chicks
are fed oats they will always prefer
oats to other grain, and the same is
true If they are brought up on corn.
This does not hold good in the case
OF meat or green food being offered
after they have been on a single grain
diet for months. Their feeling of a
lack in this respect overcomes their
inclination to stick to one thing. This
can be illustrated by keeping chicks
for a number of weeks after they are
born on some particular ration like
cracked corn. They will then take
that In preference to other things Of
the same general nature. The writer
has administration of this again and
again. Thus some men have declared
that hens will not eat oats. The
writer has always fed oats in large
quantities to his fowls from the time
they were old enough to eat grain.
He once kept his fowls from oats for
a few days, giving them corn instead.
Then he took the corn away and gave
the fowls a mixed ration of corn and
oats. The birds made lunge for the
oats, pushing the corn aside with their
bills and picking only the oats till
they were satisfied.

Corn in British India.


The cultivation of Indian corn, or
maize, has within the past century
become a factor of great Importance
In the rural economy of British India.
The Indian Agriculturist (Calcutta)
OF June l, 1904, says: This grain, IL
We consider the whole of India col
lectively, is now of equal economic
Importance with wheat. In the billy
tracts Of the country especially, and
among the bulk Of the aboriginal
tribes, it Is chiefly depended upon as
means of subsistence. Yet the bot.
anist, Roxburgh, writing about hun.
dred years ago, described it as cult.
waited in various parts of India in gar.
dens, and only as q delicacy, but not
anywhere on the continent of India,
as far as l can learn, as an extensive
CROP Its use in upper India may have
been more general at that time than
this writer was aware, for its most
common vernacular name, makkai,
derived from Mecca, is supposed to as
sociate its introduction with the Mo-
gul dynasty. But there is no name
for maize in Sanskrit, and the grain
has no recognized place N the re-
ligious or social ceremonies of the
Hindus. Few Of those who cultivate
it now have any idea that it is an
innovation, and the fact that its local
name Is often that of some much older
crop encourages the pious belief that
1t has been the staple food of the
district for untold generations"

A Soma of Life.

Praised he the lips of the Morn
For their musical message of Light,
For their blrd-chanted burden of Song;
Praised be the young Earth reborn
For its freshness and glory and might
And the thoughts of high solemn de-
light
That at flash of its purity throng.
Praised be the lips of the Day
For their clarion call to the field,
Where the Battle of Life must be fought
Praised be the fire of the fray,
Where the soul Is refined and annealed
And the spirit heroic revealed,
And pure gold from base substances
wrought
Praised be the lips OF the Night
For their murmurous message OF Rest
For their lullaby, motherly sweet.
Praised be the dreams of delight
While tired Life is asleep In Loves nest
And In harmony tender and blest
Heavens calm and earth's loneliness
meet.

SUCCESSOR TO JUDGE PARKER,
Justice Edgar M. Cullen Appointed by
Gov. OdeIl,

Justice Edgar M. Cullen, whom Gov.
odell has appointed to succeed Judge
Parker as chief judge of the New
York court of appeals, has a high
reputation as an able jurist and has
long had the esteem Of both bench
and bar. So general was the appre-
citation Of his services on the court
OF appeals bench that he was renom-
mated by both parties and elected in
1894. The Republicans expect to NOM
mate him for chief Judge of the court
OF appeals and an overwhelming sem
timent in the Democratic party is for
him also. Judge Cullen was born in
Brooklyn sixty years ago. He began
active life as a civil engineer and
later turned to the law.

LIFETIME ALL TOO SHORT.
One Sin Southern Statesman Thinks

Should Not Be Forgiven.
United Stat Senator Edmund w.
Pettus of Albany, though past so
years of age, never held but one 9th
er political office. Back In the early
SOS he was a circuit Judge in his
state, and In presiding over a cele-
brated murder trial coined an aphor-
ism in his charge to the jury so
human that II remains to-day the un-
written law OF alb the South, unalter-
able and Interchangeable. A lad grown
to manhood returned to a country
town and shot the betrayer Of his sis
ter, who had been driven to suicide.
'The state asks your honor to
charge the jury in addition to the
charge already given" said the pros
eeutor, that though the misdceds Of
the dead man would have eventuated
the crime of the prisoner IL he had
acted under impulse and done murder
before cooling time had interviewed,
yet II cooling time has interviewed
since the wrongs committed by the
dead man the prisoners crime Is In
no way OF degree extenuated."
Like fash Judge Pettus turned
and said to the jury: "The court
gives you the additional charge re-
quested by the state, and the court
also charges you that In its opinion
mans allotted three score years and
ten are not sufficient time to cool a
wrong like that done the prisoner In
this case"
The verdict was not guilty" at
once.
