Low Cream Temperature Necessary
to Obtain Best Results.


to Obtain Best Results.
Always strain the cream into the
churn through a dipper with a per-
forated tin bottom. In winter add just
sufficient butter color Of reliable
brand to give a nice yellow tint. Do
not depend on pouring it in, but count
the drops for a small churning, allow
ing three or four. drops1to the pound Of
butter.
No definite temperature for churning
can be given, but the necessity for the
constant use of thermometer must be
emphasized.
Many conditions influence the tenn
perature of the cream for churning,
such as the richness of the cream, the
quantity in the churn, the feed and
breed of the COW, the length of time the
cows have been milking, the temporal
ture of the room and the speed of the
churn. Aim to make conditions favor
able to a low churning temperature, as
it insures a better butter and more
exhaustive churning.

gallons in No. churn, and regulate
the churning temperature so as to have
butter within from twenty to thirty
minutes. That proper temperature can
only be ascertained by past experience
with similar cream.

Very rich cream is likely to paste or
thicken in the churn, so that concus-
sion ceases. Add enough water at the
same temperature as the cream to di-

eral degrees lower in temperature than
the cream was. In the summer it may
be quite cold. This floats the butter
and allows the buttermilk to run off
more freely. When the butter is the
size of wheat grains it is sufficiently
gathered. Look frequently at the in
side of the churn lid, and when but few
sm~ Il specks are seen on it the churn-
ing is usually finished. Watch the but
termilk as it runs through the strainer
dipper, and if any butter comes with
the first streams little more churning

THE INHERITANCE TAX.
Attorneys Before Supreme Court Favor
and Oppose Proposition.


The state supreme court Thursday
heard the arguments on the constitu-
tionality Of the inheritance tax law
passed by the last legislature. At
torney General E. 7. Young made
the argument for the state and
Jared How and L. L., Brown of
Winona argued for the respondents,
the estates represented in the three
cases which had been appealed and
which were considered simultaneous
ly by the court.
A number of estates throughout
the state are held up pending the
disposition of these cases. 1t is esti-
mated that the tax which the state
will get if the law is upheld will
amount to about $700,0O for the
eight months the law has been in
operation or that the state would be
the gamer by about $1,000,000 a
year. Not only that, but it involves
a principle that has been mooted in
the federal courts and nearly all the
state courts for many years. Three
previous inheritance tax laws have
been passed and declared unconstitu-
tional in Minnesota.
The argument hinged upon the
wording of the second section of the
law. The wording is such that if
taken literally it would make the
law void. The attorney general
argued, however, that the first sec
ton is a plain statement and in case
Of any inconsistencies between the
sections, the intent Of the legislature
must be determined and the enforce
ment of the law governed by this.
The first section says "A tax shall
be and is hereby imposed upon all
inheritances, devises, requests, leg
acies and gifts of every kind and
description, of any and all persons
and corporations, the value of which
exceeds $4,000, and upon such ex-
cess only" This, he argued, shows
plainly that the legislature intended
that all requests above that amount
should be taxed for the excess and
the excess only.
Section 2 says Such tax shall be
computed upon the full and true
value of such inheritance, devise,
bequest, legacy or gift, above such
excess, at the following rates: When
such valuation is over $4,000 and

"The ATTORNEY general thinks thai

The attorney general thinks that
when the legislature has exempted
the second $4,000 the court shall
impose a tax thereon. The court
can just as fearlessly provide tax
of one-half per cent. on the first
$4,000. The law either means what
it says or means nothing. Even if
amended as suggested by the attor-
ney general, it presents a fragrant
violation of the principle of equality"
He argued that the tax is unequal
in that it provides that while
bequest of $4,000 shall be exempt,
if it amounts to $4,000 the tax is
levied and the heir of the larger
sum really gets the smaller amount.
Chief Justice Start interrupted to
say that if the law were interpreted
according to the first section, the
heir who gets $4,000 would be taxed
only 81.
Mr.. How continued that it had
been held that if the law provided
equality among the classes it would
be valid, but this law does not do
this. If an heir gets a bequest of
$150,000 he should have the first
$4,000 exempt, the next $50, 900
taxed at Il per cent, the next $780,
600 at 3 per cent. and the last
$4,000 at 5 per cent. His first
$4,000 is in the same class as the
bequest of man who gets less than
$4,000, and should be taxed the
same. Justice Start interrupted to
say that the proviso in the constitu-
ton expressly provides that the
equality clause need not apply to an
inheritance tax. Justice Start had
written the opinion in the trial of
one of the former laws, and he read
from the opinion emphasizing the
exception to the equality principle
which is made in the caseIof the
inheritance tax.

Soldiers Monuments.

Within the last half-dozen years
great sums of money have been ex-
pended by many States OF the Union
in the erection of memorial monu-
ments to their soldier dead on various
historic battlefelds, writes Rene
Bache.
The work is still going on, and the
government is doing much to help, $751;
500 being given by Congress recently
in one lump TO pay for suitable ceno-
taphs in honor of regular army organ
izations which fought at Gettysburg,

Nicksburg. One of them, erected by
the State Of lllipois at a cost of 5000,
