cHURNs ARE STILL USED.
Even In This Day of Creameries,
Butter Is Made in the Old
Fashioned Way.

THE chances are ten to one or bet
ter" said a woodenwaTe man. that
the butter you buy at the grocery
store now was made in a creamery,
for the great bulk of the butter cor
sumed in this country is now made in
milk establishments. But there is
still some butter made by hand, and
We still sell churns right along.
THE greater number of these now
sold are of the cylinder type, oper-
ated by crank, turning within the
churn wheel with paddles, some
times like the paddlewheel of steam
boat; but we still sell, as well, churns
of the old-fashioned dasher type. such
as our grandfathers used, and such as
their grandfathers used before them.
| might add that the old-fashioned
dasher churn is STILL as it has always
been, painted blue.
who still buys these old style
hand churns in the day of machine
made butter? Why, SO to speak, the
Oldest people, and the most modern.
They are bought by small farm
ers keeping only one or few cows,
who naturally continue to make their
own butter, and who make it, q
courSes with a hand churn. Some OF
these farmers might make more but
ter than they would require for their
own use; and the surplus they would
sell, as they would their surplus eggs.

"And you would find larger farm
ers, too. farmers perhaps keeping
many cows and selling the bulk OF
their milk to a creamery, still con-
tinuing to make the butter that they
needed for Themselves and making it.
as they have always done, in hand

"And such churns are sold to peo'
pie living in suburban or country
homes and keeping cows. who make
their own butter because they pre-
f. to, anyway, and they are bought
by various people, everywhere, who
want sweet, or unsa1ted, butter, and
make 1t for themselves in hand

to the Washington Star rounder the
other day. AT recruiting stations it
is always necessary for the applicant
to state in his application the ma

answers to a score Of other questions.
A young fellow bearing the Teutonic

try very many years, filled out one
of these blanks. Quite naturally he

From the name universally given
artificial limbs one might suppose that
they were made of cork, but that is
not the case. They are SO called from
the fact that when artificial limbs
were first produced the majority OF
factories were located in Cork street,
London, and it became the custom to
speak of them as cork legs. Since
then manufactures have been estab-
lished in many countries, but the name
of cork still clings to their wares.

To Preserve Youth.

One woman says that there is only
one thing to remember, one thing to
forget If you want always to be
young. The first is the power of right
thinking, which can rebuild and re-
model ones life and character, and
the things to forget are-"regrets."
Nothing is so truly useless or such a
handicap as regrets of any kind, and it
is the first thing one must learn to
eliminate If one wants to be fifty years
young.
