Butter making Is a live subject in

Me American dairyman may learn
much from his English cousin. For

OF butter making from Country life.
The main points connected with the
production of butter are considered,

workers are guilty of at times. Abso-

Into Prominence.

The separate waist. ever since the
day Of Its origin, has been subject of
exceptional interest, and all efforts to
supplant 1t have proved Intellectual.
1t is too convenient in fact, com
bines too many alluring charsqteris-
tics In its makeup to be easily set
aside, and, while 1t may never again
enjoy the same prestige that first
marked its appearance. it is doubtful
If we are ever again left without
some modification of the shirt waist
While the entire costume Is now
considered more dressy, the spring
showing of separate blouses is unde-
niably larger and more varied than
for several seasons.
For early spring days smart designs
are developed in flannel, always OF
the unshrinkahle quality. These are
trimmed either with bias or plain
bands of self material, with fancy
6raids, rulings and empiecements, or
with tucks and shirrs, fancy buttons,
straps and various more or less odd
devices, fashioned out of contrasting
cloths or silks.
The same careful attention to de-
tail, the same perfect fit. and correct
lines required in the most pretentious
creation are exacted of the separate
waist, to be wholly in vogue for the
coming season.
The girdle, too, is an important fac
tor. 1t Is generally made of a soft,

slide of that depth, or else is kept in

yUsed to sweet cream in which bac-
scriai growth has brought about de-
reiopment of acidity, giving a sharp
acid taste and smell and causing

Regular stirring and mixing is neces-
sary, especially when adding fresh

should be added to the ripened cream

Arought within degree or two of the

One very modish design noticed
among these flannel waists was of

ycKe is outlined with folds, the fronts
cw in rounded points overlapping
each other and decorated with three
tiny buttons. Az the base of the col
lar is tiny butterfly bow of satin.
The Seeves show rather more fulness
than hose OF the past season, this at
both t-p and bottom, and have some
what s3e straight up-and-down effect
ascribol to the originally designed
waists, and also they have the typical
shirt-wa.st cuffs.
Tiny pockets in all manner of odd
designs are very much in evidence, al
though rhey are in reality but trav-
esty ON the name, never by any
chance Icing other than mere patches
and therefore entirely ornamental.
Another special feature in tailored
waists IL the frilled bosom plait, a
style universally becoming and smart.
A pretty design of this order is de-
veloped IN pale blue flannel set in
broad slice plaits each edged with a
quilting vf satin ribbon of the cloth
shade; the bosom plait, which is also
given two narrow side plaits, and
which conceals the fastening, is like
wise frilied. The sleeves are short
puffs with cuffs which reach only to

edged vii h a frill of ribbon similar to
those on fhe waist proper. The girdle
is of blus velvet, and the lace stock
is bordered at the top with fold Of
velvet.
