WHEN BUTTER FAILS TO COME.


A reader OF these notes has asked
why the cream ut some times is hard
TO churn while at others II is compare
lively easy. The trouble may general
ly be ascribed to unripe cream or
cream that has become too sour. Ri
pening of cream is performed by the
Tactic acid ferment. At this time of
the year when the weather is cool and
all during the winter cream may re-
main in n jar in n cool place for sew
eral days and even for more than a
week without becoming ripe enough to
churn In the usual length OF time. For
several hours before churning the
cream should be set near the stove so
that IL Will become warm enough for
the proper ferments TO make 1t ripe.

necessary to place therein little start

milk which has soured in a clean YES

objectionable odors or foul odors of
any kind, no matter how small. Sour
Ing may be caused by one OF two fer.
ments-the proper kind or the kind
which makes putrid acid. If the cream
ripens because of the souring caused
by the latter kind then the butter will
be unfit for food because of these OBJ

Seven carloads of added eggs were
recently seized at Detroit, Mich, and
held by authority of the federal pure
food commissioners. Inquiry developed
the fact that they had been bought up
In different states and were intended
for use In the manufacture of fancy
cookies and crackers. Folks have been
wondering for some time past what be-
comes of the myriad bad eggs that are
sent to market, and the above seizure
gives an inkling.

Several close observers of bird life in
the vicinity in which the writer lives
have had their attention drawn TO the
fact that during the interval from July
10 to Sept. 1 the robins, which usually
are very plentiful and are often seen
by dozens under lawn sprays, were
strangely missing. Whether they went
to localities where there had been
more abundant rainfall or where they
found insect life more abundant 1t
would be difficult to say. Sept. finds

There is probably no single phase OF
farm industry that is given so little
attention as that of the raising of poul-
try, and yet the poultry and egg bust
ness Of the country for 1907 surpassed
In total value all the wheat produced
and was close second to the value of
the entire cotton crop. Were the atten-
ton devoted to poultry on the farm
equal to that now given to the raising
OF horses, cattle, sheep and hogs it is
quite likely that the returns from this
industry would quickly pass the billion
dollar mark.

A PERENNIAL PROBLEM.

For the farmer In the corn belt there
Is no problem which annually con-
fronts him which is more important
than that found In the saving OF his
seed Tor next years crop. While IL Is
pertinent on April / to discuss methods
TOT the careful testing OF seed corn, the
accepted time for securing II Is be-
tween the list and the 10Th OF October.
In the northern part OF the corn belt.
where early maturity Is an important
matter. It is well to select the ears I'm.
tended for seed during the month Of
september, when the earliest matur-
Ing corn can be selected. In the selec-
ton OF the seed ears should be chosen
which are filed well at butt and tip.
whose kernels are OF medium size. OF
as good depth as early maturity will
permit and even rows. While the
Old Fashioned way OF stripping back
the husks and tying two ears together
Is good. an even better way is TO use
strong Irvine, tying each ear around
the middle and putting them crisis
cross to each until a good string OF
ears has been secured. Another method
Is to slip the butts OF the ears on to
~~-e oAAchAhb
wide inch boards, which may be fast
ened together conveniently as a sort
or rack. The early securing OF the
seed corn is imperative In order that
1t may become thoroughly dry before
the heavy freezes In November. II
there Is moisture in the cob when the
hard freeze comes the seed is done for,
and It cannot be resurrected by any
kind OF test. Now and then there
Is a season when corn will cure and
dry on the stalk. but this is excep-
tional. When thoroughly seasoned
the seed should be stored in a dry
place. preferably where 1t does not
freeze, but this is not essential pro-
vided there is no moisture In 1t. When
seed Is secured in the above manner
and then carefully tested next March
or April n good stand of corn would
seem to be assured.

TAFT, ROCKEFELLER,
CARNEGIE ALL GOING
Are Sure Of Heaven So
Countess Oracle
Says .t.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. Dec. William
II. Taft is going to heaven when he
dies. and there is hope that John d.
Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie
will go. too.
This is the statement made today
BY Countess Aurelia Bethlen, the Be-
naist teacher, who, three weeks ago.
announced her arrival In Chicago on
her missionary journey around the
world. She does not speak OF a def
mite heaven, however. for her belief
il that heaven is a condition. not u
place.
She says that Mr.. Taft will merit
divine reward, after the tribula-
tons that he will meet during his
tenure of office, and that II Messrs.
Carnegie and Rockefeller can avoid
dying until 1917, when the millen-
mum will begin, they may be saved.
"a great change is coming over the
world. according to the countess. The
world is getting better. People are
paying more attention to religion,
even II they do not go to church as
regularly. This IS the beginning OF
the change. But before the nine
years are over and the year 1917 APP
pears, the world will sufYer dire ca
lamities. which must be undergone
by all people as penitence. But the
people will not know this. and they
will blame their governments for
their misfortunes.
Because America Is SO money-mad.
Americans will suffer the greatest OF
trials. and Mr.. Taft will get the great
est blame. Therefore. his trials will
have been the most woeful. but he
will be sure OF happiness after death,
says the visitor.
Countess Bethlen declares Carnegie
is misguided In buying libraries In
stead OF food for the poor. Mr.. Rock
efeller, she says. can only save him
self by "grasping the strong rope of
salvation"
