SALTING BUTTER.
Even Distribution of Moisture Essen
tiaI to the Process.

The following thoughts were sug-
gested to the writer by reading a re-
port from the Iowa station:
No established rule for sailing but
ter properly can be given. The butter
maker will have to be governed en-
tirely by local conditions
The amount of salt to be incorporat-
ed in the butter depends directly on
the amount of moisture the butter con-
tains. Butter fat is not salt dissolv-
ing substance. This can be done only
by the moisture in the butter. I he
first thing, then, to get a uniform
amount of dissolved salt in butter is
to get a uniform amount of moisture.
The water should be evenly distTib-
uted through the mass OF butter. II
it is present in pockets or crevices in
the butter when the salt is added,
much salt will be lost in the form of
brine, besides those PARTICLES of butter
near the pockets will contain more salt
than those farther away.
Best results are obtained by allow
ing the butter to drain well after wash
ing and then apply the salt. In no
case should salt be added till the but
ter has assumed gathered condition.
When the butter is medium soft
after being worked, it has been found
that from three-fourths to an ounce OF
salt for each pound of butter is not
far from the correct amount.

WHY HE WANTED LAW.
Man Had to Be Forced Into Paths of
Righteousness.

Congressman James E. Watson of
the Sixth Indiana district told a story
while In town recently, anent the op-
Grafton of the pure food law, and in
tended to illustrate his expressed
theory that more people would be
good IL they had to be.
1T was while we were wrestling
with the pure food bill at Washing
ton." he said, that got letter from
home. written by man from whom I
bought big quantity of maple sirup
each year. He urged me to fight for
the pure food bill. Now, couldn't
help remembering, to save my life,
that this man bought five barrels of
brown sugar at the opening of the
maple molasses season. So l wrote
him note suggesting that advocacy
of pure food measure seemed odd
from a man who bought five barrels
of brown sugar before beginning the
manufacture Of his pure maple sirup.
Never feazed him. He turned my
letter over and wrote on the back: I

"GONE TO THE DEVIL"
London Inn Responsible for origin of
Common Saying.

The old inns of England have been
responsible for the origin of many
common sayings. An instance of this
is the proverbial phrase He has
gone to the devil" On Fleet street,
London, near Temple Bar, was once a
tavern which was known by the strict
ly old-fashioned name, "The Devil and
Saint Dunstan." 1t was famous for its
good dinners and excellent wines, and
received a large patronage from the
lawyers of Temple Bar.
1t was familiarly known as "The
Devil" and when lawyer left his
office to go there he usually left a no.
tice on his door, Gone to the Devil" ="
There were some who patronized the
tavern to the neglect of their business,
and the notice was so regularly eXhib-
tied on their doors that it finally came
to be used to characterize the man
who was losing his grip and going to
destruction.-The Sunday Magazine.

DAIRY DOINGS.

A separator is easily washed after
the owner learns how to do it.
Denmark has about 1900 creameries
and they make annually about 100 900
tons of butter
Every intelligent man can make
dairying pay because intelligent meth
ods always win.
The man that owns a separator can
often sell sweet skimmilk to city peo-
pie at good price.
So far as is possible avoid metals
about butter. The salt will cause rust
and stain the butter.
Sunshine is great enemy of bac-
terra. Place the milking utensils in
the sun when not in use.
The feeding of grain or a highly
nitrogenous food is always dangerous
when carried to excess.
The green pasture is a healthy place
for the cows, if no diseased animals
are permitted to Craze on it.
One extra good COW will produce
better results at the end of the year
than three or four poor ones.
Every time a dairy COW is abused or
frightened her milk and butter ma
chinery is thrown out of gear.
Fattening old cows for beef is not
generally very profitable operation
and it becomes less so as corn goes
higher in price.

The Peaceful Joy of the River.

An ingenious Spaniard says that
"rivers and the inhabitants of the wa

of the first, yet give me leave to free
myself from the last, by offering to
you short contemplation, first of riv-
ers, and then of fish, concerning

hour pass away more pleasantly, as

AGE TO BREED HEIFERS.
Time Varies with the Animal and the
Purpose She Is to Serve.

Farmers differ as to the best time
as a whole, that most of our heifers
are bred too young which undoubtedly
decreases their size and efficiency. If
we want all the size possible heifers
should not be bred before they are
10 or 20 months old. If they are
bred younger than this they will
undoubtedly be somewhat stunted and
will never attain the size they would
have had if the CESSATION period had
been delayed until later in life Dairy
heifers that are MIXED by hand can
be bred earlier than the beef heifers
for the reason that milking by hand
is not so great tax on the system as
is the sucking of a vigorous calf
Then, too, dairy capacity should be
developed as early as possible. To
make the best kind of a beef COW a
heifer should not be bred until she
is IS to % months old. OF course
considerable depends upon the size
of the heifer when bred which in turn
depends on the way she has been
raised. Some heiferS are too sma
to breed until they are two years old
because they have not been properly
raised. Then again, says The Farm
er, other heifers which have made the
greatest possible gains in early life
are suitable to breed before the aver
age age. Breeding at an early age
will of course tend to promote prof
cheney and it will also sometimes tend
on the other hand to weaken the sys.
TEN SO that disease is likely Many
cases of habitual abortion are due to
the fact that the heifer was bred be-
fore her system was strong enough to
sustain the strain of pregnancy. 1t
can generally be taken as safe rule
that we should not breed heifers until
they have the size of normal 49,
months-old heifer or until they show
by their vigor and health that they are
| fit for the duties of maternity.

No one is in better position to know
the value of food and drink than a
trained nurse.
Speaking of coffee, a nurse of Wilkes
Barre, Pa, writes: Il used to drink
strong coffee myself, and suffered

Tommy Ryan. who has lodged Hu- go Kelly, who wants to fight for tic middleweight championship. has agreed to tackle Dave Barry, a second rater, at Hot Springs next month. Ryan. who is 40 years old, evidently does not care to take too many chances with his precious title.
 Honey Melody. in answer to d challenge from Joe Thomas, mid dleweight who once beat the Boston welterweight champion at catch weights. says that he will fight Thom- as at 142 pounds ringside. Thomas wants to insert in the articles of agreement that the. weight shall be "l42 pounds or over." which would enable him to scale 15S if he wanted to. Melody. however, is too shrewd to be caught mapping and Thomas will have to accept dictation or back away.
 Tommy Murphy's friends say that when he "gets through with" Spike Robson. the English featherwelght champion, in a six-round bout in Philadelphia on February 20, he will accommodate all his rivals But those who have a good line on Robson say that the Britisher will not prove so easy as Young Corbett. In fact. they say that Murphy will have to improve about 5O per cent over the form dis played by him in the battle with Corbett of he hopes to get as much as an even break with the clever Englishman.

the wrestling business and the con- pany In which is throws him. His father and mother are ashamed of it, too. and Gotch is going to get out of the game-as soon as it ceases to bring him "big money"
 All this emanates from the wild and woolly west. Of course Gotch is not proud of his title. and he's just dying to get out of the game, but let some one show him or any other wrestler a chance to turn an honest penny and he'll forget all of his prejudices. Here's how Gotch decries the sport:
 Its a poor game, this wrestling. My advice to aspirants is-'don't try it. Because there's no money in 1t until you are champion. It's a long. hard fight up to that point, ana there's room for only one at the ton. And after you're pushed away, you're done for good. At the best you can't last longer than from i've to seven years. It's pretty hard at the end to settle down to humdrum life. The old game spirit is in you. You'll think of the crowds. the glare of the cal cium lights, the cries for the cham pion. the struggle on the mat. And you rebel I rebel even now when I stay long on my farm"

 Beaver Falls made the best strides up the ladder, Sharon now resting ill fifth position, while Beaver Falls has climbed from sixth to good second, only four and one-half games behind Canton and first place, including Thursdays games. This rapid ad- vance can be attributed chiefly to two men. George Cunningham, ST, and Frank H. Sutton, goal tender for the Beavers. However, the writer does not mean to detract from the good work of Lincoln, Griffith and Gardner, for had it not been for their splendid backing up the work of Cun- ningham and Sutton would not have been possible.
 Sharon, Pa, will have to take their hats off to Wallingford when it comes to loyalty to losing team. Sharon holds the plum in this neck of the woods in base ball, polo and all other branches of sport, but Wallingford has them topped.

Former Connecticut League Play CTS Now in Eastern League
 Notes on tbe Game.

Averages of the Eastern league batsmen just issued are of interest to Connecticut league baseball enthusi- asts because there are a number of Nutmeggers in the organization. Steamer Flanagan, who went to Rochester after the Connecticut league season closed, and who will play there next season, led the league hitters. Foster batted 43 times in ten games, made IA singles, estab- fishing percentage of 1926. He crossed the rubber five times. made one sacrifice and stole four bases.
 Eddie Lennox of Rochester batted for .270 in 28 games, Joe Connor of Montreal for .262 in 113 games, Wag- ner of Newark, formerly of Water bury, for .236, George Ramon of Montreal for .231, Bill Yale for .18O in 15 games for Toronto, Billy Foxen, formerly of Hartford, for IA, and big George Lachance, who is to play with Waterbury next season, for .259 in 133 games.
 Hugh Shannon, who is signed with New London, and who claimed to have finished the season with Balti- more after being let out by St Paul, does not figure in the averages, but neither does Pop" Foster, who jumped to the outlaws in mid season.
