The one word which expresses every
thing with the churnlng is tempera-
ture, writes Mrs. Il. Il. lockwood
in National Stockman. The cream
must be kept sufficiently cool after it
has been put In the churn to insure the
butter coming In granular form, and
that means that ii must not go above
80 degrees or So degrees in hot
weather. The butter comes much more
expeditiously If the churn is filed only
about one-third full; certainly it should
not be more than half full A 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
A cupful Of salt for every four gallons
of cream may be introduced. This will
make no appreciable difference in the
sailing of the butter, but assists very
noticeably in separating 1t from the
buttermilk. "a circle Of bleached but
ter cloth tied over pail will catch
whatever particles go through with
the wash water. This answers every
purpose of hair sieve and Is mex
pensive. Ordinarily it is advisable to
wash butter twice. Flavor Is in
f1uenced by more or less completely
removing the buttermilk. Butter
lightly washed possesses a quicker
flavor, but goes off in quality more
rapidly than that which Is thoroughly
freed from buttermilk. The latter
lacks flavor when first made, but de-
velops this after few days. Weak
brine Is very effectual in removing all
trace of milk In the butter and 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
% cents at any drug store or dairy
supply house, yet it is inestimable in
It's value to the buttermaker, says Mrs.
q. e. lockwood in National Stockman.
With it she can foretell results and
know exactly how the butter is going
to come. 1t also enables her to avoid
waste, since low temperature Is nee
essary to exhaustive churning. When
butter comes quickly and looks white
and soft 1t 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 its work In de-
tecting loss.

D0CtOIBIIglam Says
MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE
Lydia K. Pinkhasss'S
Vegetable Compound

The wonderful power of Lydia Il.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is a stimulant, not because 1t
is palliative. but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of themwould aclSnowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience il can be re-
lied upon to effect q cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
DR.. S. G. Brigham, of Brigham
Park, Fitchburg, Mass, writes

have found Lydia K. Pinkhams Vegetable

Re,,cvinr calves From Flies.

During the summer months flies are
a constant torment to young calves.
The chronological department Of the
Kansas State Agricultural college has
been experimenting and compromising
various substances In order to pro-
duce an effective and economical mix
ture which when applied to the sur
face of an animal would ward off the
flies. AS a result Of these experiments
1t has succeeded in producing the fol-
lowing formula, which seems to an
swer the purpose reasonably well:
Resin, ~ pounds; laundry soap, two
cakes; fish OIL, half pint; enough wa
ter to make three gallons. Dissolve the
resin In q solution of soap and water
by heating, add the fish oil and the
rest of the water Apply with brush.

One Of the most famous character

dresses are worn; there are but four
garments, little shirt of linen and a
similar garment of feece-lined pique,

A more detailed description of these
