Effect of Feed ON Milk.

Feed has considerable effect on
the color of milk and the resulting
cream or butter. Green grass, ap-
pies and carrots are we'll known to
give yellow color to milk and butter
OF the grains, corn and oats probably
tend to produce a milk most salts
factory for general household use.
When fed with good alfalfa hay, the
cream is well-colored and has good
consistency. 1t comes off the top in
a thick layer and leaves skim milk
noticeably different in color from the
cream. The feed also effects the
hi rdness Of the butter, that is its
ability to stand up in hot weather
and also it's grain. Corn and oats
make a good grained butter, wheat
bran and linseed meal, poor grained,
while If brewers grain is fed in large
quantities a butter is produced that
looks like lard. Gluten meal rich in
fat, makes soft butter, while cotton
seed meal has the most pronounced
effect of all the feeds in making the
butter hard. Indeed in the South
where cotton-seed is fed largely, the
butter-fat Is SO hard that the churn-
ing temperature has to be raised at
least Ave degrees.

Those Mock Ceremonies.

A storm Of protests has been raised
in the city of Lynn by the action Of one
OF the local churches in advertising an
entertainment at which its Sunday
school children will present a mock
marriage ceremony in imitation OF to-
days White House wedding. Since the
church locks upon marriage as a sacra-
ment rather than spectacle. and
since, aside from all religious consider
ations, the good taste Of such a mock
ceremony is very much to be ques-
toned, we think the protests Of those
who object to such an entertainment
should be sustained.
The good natured public laughed al
the lark of those Maine college girls
who gave an imitation of the Long
worth Roosevelt wedding not long ago.
but this was quite 4 different affair
from what is proposed in Lynn. The
college girls did not make it a public
entertainment, but it was simply an
innocent frolic for their own amuse-
ment and doubtless they deplore the
wide and sensational publicity which
the affair unfortunately received in the
newspapers. Mock wedding cere-
monies. especially with little children
as participants. are very questionable
forms of entertainment, and particu-
larry when they mock the wedding Of
the daughter of our President. Respect
for the fitness Of things as we'll as re-
spect for the church should cause those
Lynn people to abandon their proposed
entertainment and should cause people
everywhere to think twice before ar
ranging entertainments of this nature.
In these times when there is so much
of problem involved in the little re-
gard in which many people hold the
| marriage relation. anything is to be de-
plored which makes the marriage cere-
| mony matter of jest and mockery.
