The one word which expresses every
thing with the churning IL tempera-
ture. writes Mrs. E. L. lockwood
IN National StOckman. The cream
must be kept sufficiently cool after 1t
has been put In the churn to insure the
butter coming in granular form. and
that means that 1t must not go above
Sc degrees or IS degrees in hot
weather The butter comes much more
expedItiously If the churn is filled only
about one-third full; certainly 1t should
not be more than half full. 4 bar
rel churn is my choice. free from pad
dies or inside rigging Of any kind.
Cream should be strained into the
churn. Under right conditions cream
should begin to break in twenty to
thirty minutes.
When the cream breaks and butter
granules appear churning should cease.
4 cupful Of salt for every four gallons
of cream may be introduced. This will
make no nppreciable difference In the
sailing Of the butter, but assists very
noticcably In separating it from the
buttermilk. A circle Of blenched but
ter cloth tied over a pail will catch
whatever particles go through with
purpose Of hair sieve and is mex
pensive. Ordinarily 1t Is advisable to
wash butter twice. Flavor is in
huenced by more or less completely
removing the buttermilk. Butter
lightly washed possesses quicker
flavor, hut goes off in quality more
rapidly than that which Is thoroughly
freed from buttcrmilk. The latter
lacks flavor when first made, but de-
velops this after n few days. Weak
brine is very effectual in removing all
trace Of milk in the butter and a hand
full Of salt may be stirred into the last
water Care should be exercised and
the agitation Of the churn such that
the granular appearance Of the butter
Is not affected in the operation. This
condition must be preserved until aft
er the salt has been added.
The Dairy Thermometer.
A glass dairy thermometer costs but
Is cents at any drug store or dairy
supply house, yet it Is inestimable in
It's value to the buttermaker. says Mrs.
z. +. lockwood In National StOckman.
With 1t she can foretell results and
know exactly how the butter is going
to come. It also enables her to avoid
waste, since low temperature Is nee
essary to exhaustive churning. When
butter comes quickly and looks white
and soft it goes without saying that
more Or less Of the fat has gone into
the buttermilk. A sample Of 1t tried
with Babcock tester might surprise
those unfamiliar with It's work In de-
tecting loss.

Another Good Man Gone Wrong.

He neglected to take Foley's Kidney Cure at
the first signs Of kidney trouble, hoping it would
wear away, and he was soon a victim of Bright's
disease. There is danger in delay, but if Foley's
Kidney Cure is taken at once the symptoms
will disappear, the kidneys are strengthened and
you are soon sound and well. A. L. Bass of
Morgantown, Ind, had to get up ten or twelve
times in the night, and had severe backache and
pains In the kidneys, and was cured by Foley's
Kidney Cure.-Benton Mercantile Company.

IMPROVING the Dsary Herd.

A dairyman may start with nothing
but the most ordinary COWS, and by
simply breeding to dairy sires of ex-
cellent quality and pure breeding he
will in few years have a fine work
ing herd. says Holstein-Friesian Reg
lister. There is no reason why good
herd Of grades cannot be made to yield
a profit, but too many Of us do not ap
preciate the value of n pure bred sire.

Catarrh Of the TddeR.

Catarrh of the udder may be caused
by the COW lying on damp ground
night after night or by a germ which
is introduced into the uddeT. Low
ground pasture for dairy cows should
have some high ground upon which
they may lie after eating.

when my sister was eighteen
months old a humor broke out on her
shoulders, extending clear across the
back. For two years it caused her in
tense suffering. 1t would scab over
and then crack open and a watery

would fall off and it would be raw for
time. We had several different doc
tors and tried everything we could
think of, but without effecting a cure.

Arriving at a Verdict.

Kushequa, Pa, July 1O-(Special)-
In this section of Pennsylvania there
is growing belief that for such Kid
ney Diseases as Rheumatism and
Lame Back there is only one sure cure
and that is Dodds Kidney Pills. This
belief grows from such cases as that
OF Mrs. NJ. L. Dawson of this place.
She tells the story herself as follows:
II have suffered from Rheumatism
for thirty years and find that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine | have ever taken.
l was also bothered with Lame Back
and | can only say that my back hasn't
bothered me since | took Dodd's Kid
ney Pills"
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills
the result would be considered wonder
full if it were not that others are re-
porting similar results daily. Kushe
qua is fast arriving at verdict that
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for Rheumatism"

HOW TO WIN SUCCESS.

Governor Douglas of Massachusetts
Gives Advice to Boys.
From a place at the cobbler's bench
at mere pittance, William L. Douglas
has risen to the highest executive po-
sition in the State of Massachusetts,
that OF Governor, and has made him.
self millionaire. His rules and pre-
cepts of success are given by him
through the Boston Sunday American.
and declares that these rules are given
for the benefit of boys. The Governor
says:
Recently, in talking to a delegation OF
bright-faced boys, l told them that they
should. in order to make the most of life,
obey the old maxim, ''Stick to your last"
1t you don't you'll find that old ogre,
called trouble bobbing up in your path
way every now and then, and you'll
never get to be on speaking terms with
success. Fortune, you know, favors the
brave. In the battle of life the really
brave man is the one with courage
enough to "stick to his last in the face
OF early rebuffs and temporary reverses.
He's the fellow who will eventually be
able to laugh at trouble and to get chum-
my with success. What would you think
OF shoemaker who, after making part
or shoe on one last, became dissatls-
he'd and started another shoe on diff
terent last. keeping up this method until
he had finally spent all his money for
stock and had nothing but lot of half
finished shoes to show for it. Foolish
way to do, isn't it? But it's no more
foolish than for a young man to tackle
a new line of business every little while
until he grows too old to learn any bust
ness thoroughly.
Everything in nature is fitted to do one
thing well and spends its whole life do
Ing it. You never hear Of the ant going
into the honey-making business; nor OF
the bee building ant hills for a change.
Each one knows its place in the world
and sticks to it. and that is what boys
must do if they would accomplish great
things. Nearly every boy at an early
age displays an aptitude for something,
and If that aptitude is properly devel-
opsd the process of selecting last Is
simplifed. And remember always to
keep your ambition up to the top notch.
Whatever you do, try to do it better
than the other fellow. At school make
1t point to stand at the head of your
class: and at play don't be satisfied until
you can jump the farthest or throw the
straightest. Then when you enter bust
ness life this matter Of getting ahead
will become a habit.
Now another thing to think about is
this: Don't try to do what you like-do
what you can. That's good compan-
ion piece for "stick to your last" Don't
let the attraction of something you don't
know lure you away from the thing you
do. Do what you can and stick to 1t.
That's wisdom.

Incident of Our Flag.

the Americans were little embar

of Maine. 1t is the flag of Liberty
never lowered to any foe and the only
flag that whipped the flag on which

Marketing Potato Crops.

III Ilue WIN the classic case OA CAo
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley Of Yale University In his DOCK
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President Tuttle OF the
Boston and Maine railroad before the
Senate committee on interstate COM
MERGE Nothing could better show now
a railroad works for the interest OF the
localities which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers OF
the Aroostook region is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight TO ten
million bushels, which find market
largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions of New England.
The competition of cheap water trans
portation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these POTATOES
always at very low level.
Potatoes are also considerable out
put Of the truck farms of Michigan

and through Detroit and Chicago anu
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favorlng sun
and rains brought a tremendous yielo
of potatoes from the Michigan nelus.
At normal rates and prices there woulo
have been a glut Of the customary mar
kets and the potatoes would have rotteu
on the farms. To help the potato grow
ers the railroads from Michigan maze

to every reachable market, even carry

Maine railroad reduced its already low
rate. which it did. By means OF tnese
low rates. making possible low prices,
the potato crops Of both Michigan ana
Maine were finally marketed. EVERY
body eats potatoes, and that year eV-
erybody had all the potatoes ne

While the Michigan railroads mace
rates that would have been ru1nous 10

to the movement of all potatoes at all
times, to all places, they helped their
