DAIRY SCHOOL COURSE.
II Is Absolutely Essential to the Man
Who Would Run Creamery.

The day is past when a full fedged
butter or cheese maker could be pro-
duced in two or three months, and
even an apprenticeship Of a year in
4 good factory is not any longer CON
sidered sufficient for the man who Is
TO take charge OF a creamery or
cheese factory. and do the right thing
by his employer. In these days of
strong competition, it is absolutely
necessary for the butter and cheese
maker to be as well informed as II is
possible for him to be in order to
hold his own, and a course at one
OF the dairy schools will mean a
great help to him; in fact, he Is
seriously handicapped without such
course. That is not saying that
the old butter and cheese maker who
never went to a dairy school. is not
in many cases as competent rs the
cne who did, says the Northwestern
Agriculturist, he oftentimes 10, and
sometimes a great deal better, but Il
should be remembered that he
started In vixen the factory way of
making butter and cheese was quite
a new one, and by keeping his eyes
open and doing more or less ex-
perimenting at the expense Of his
employers, he was enabled to make
of himself first-class man. Many
of his class today realize the i'm
portance of a dairy school course,
and, as of late years, goodly num-
ber of the students in the school this
winter will be found to be old, ex-
perienced makers. Surely, if such
men can and do derive any benefit
from a dairy school course, the
younger men derives still more.

BUTTER coLoRs.
A Coed Thing for the Farm Butter
Maker to Let Alone.

Butter colors are good thing for
the farm butter maker to let alone.
declares the Farmers Review. Some
of the coloring compounds that
have been put on the market In the
past have been made of coal tar. and
without doubt many butter colors are
still on the market that are made
from this material. Colors derived
from coal tar are supposed TO be poi
sonous. and some OF the states have
prohibited their use.
But even II they are harmless. It is
better to let them alone Skill is re-.
quired In their use. and It is difficult
for the unskilled butter-maker to get
the same shade OF color in different
is different, as so much butter is made
that the use OF the coloring matter
can be reduced to exact proportions.
In the creamery, milk is received
from all kinds Of patrons and all
kinds Of cows. and the artificial col.
oring makes 1t possible to turn out
a uniform product day by day. So the
use Of vegetable coloring matter in
the creamery can hardly be con
demned; for by 1t alone is a uniform.
ity Of color possible.
But on any single farm the color OF
the butter will be uniform, as the milk
comes from the same cows all the
time. Cows differ greatly as TO the
color Of their cream. With some COWS
it is Of very deep yellow color, and
with other COWS It is so light as TO
be almost colorless. The color fac
tor is largely matter OF breeding. A
man can improve the color Of his but
ter by using for breeders only the
cows that produce milk OF good color.
1t is true, however, that some OF
the best Durham cows produce cream
very light in color, and when a man
has a good COW of this kind he can
not afford to discard her, just because
Of the lightness of the color of her
butter-fat. He can help himself by
keeping other COWS that will make up
for the deficiency.
The color of farm butter is a mat
ter of sentiment only, and with some
consumers 1t counts for nothing.
While a man has private customers
for his butter, he will have no trou-
BILE on account Of color, so long as
he lets artificial coloring matter alone
If a person is selling butter on the
open market, the possession OF good
color does so some distance in secur-
ing sales.
II after all a farmer determines to
use butter colors in the making up OF
his farm butter he should reduce its
use TO a science and learn TO always
use the same proportion. This is not
an easy thing to do; for it is hard 20
use little enough of the butter color
in a small batch of butter.
The feed of the COWS has some
bearing on the color of the butter
and it is this that gives TO June but
ter its high color. The COWS are at
that time receiving a very full ra-
tion of succulent green grass, and
the green color In the grass comes out
in the butter-fat as yellow of u pro-
nounced shade. Good clover hay
cured in way to retain its original
green color helps some in keeping
fall and winter butter of a good color.

NOVELTIES FOR DAINTY LUNCH.

In these days Of table or two OF

ton. Many of the latest models show

An odd use OF the braid was on a
satin hat trimmed with wings of the

These were arranged In the front,
going in opposite directions, and were
held down with large disks (dollar

nected with knotted loops of the

this season is to have the trimming

dressy plumed hats designed for aft

the smartest hats shown by the i'm.
porters are quite severe in trimming.
but the lines Of these hats are SO
good that they are generally most be-
coming. One particularly smart shape
which would be excellent for street
wear with a tailor gown, is shown
this season. The brim of this hat is
very large, rolled slightly at the left
and down a little at the right side of
the back The crown is low, but very
large, and is wider at the base than
at the top, which is rounded in mound
shape. Corded silk with rather a
large rib, in any desired color, is
used for the top Of the hat, the un-
derbrim being faced with black moire
silk. The shape was shown trimmed
In two ways, one style which was es-
pecially smart for young girls having
only a twist Of wide black moire rib
bon around the crown, with a large
bow at the left side of the back, the
pointed ends Of which were allowed
TO fall little over the edge of the
brim. The other style of trimming
was little more elaborate, as it con.

ter, fastened at the left side of the
front with small fat bow of black
satin ribbon.

CHRISTIAN EVIDENCE Rev. Dr. Leete Breaches on the Necessity of Constantly
 Bearing it.
ON DRAWING CONCLUSIONS
Tells of Authors Ideas Concerning Mars, and Adapts
 Them.

Dr. W. w. Leete, the pastor of the Dwight Place Congregational church, preached to a large congregation in that church yesterday morning. He took as his text. the twentieth verse of the fourth chapter of Acts: We cannot but speak the things we have seen and heard" Although pr. Leete, in the predatory remarks before launching into his theme, did not announce on what subject he would speak, from those same Introductory remarks 1t became evident that the sermon would be on Christian Testimony"
 Dr. Leete said in part: An ingcn- ious author has but recently written fanciful story on Mars and its inhab tants. And he has tried to picture typical Martian dwellcr by consider ing the facts we know about the physi- cal conditions on that world Scientists say that the temperature on Mars is very low This author immediately came to the conclusion that the human vreatures there would have to be cov- cred with fur to keep them warm Sci entists also say that the atmospheric pressure on Mars is much greater than on this planet The writer drew the conclusion from that, that the people living on that remote globe must be extraordinarily deep chested Thus in one way or another. this author has pictured Martian, and ne has had an artist draw for him the picture of one of these people based on his conclusion as to their appearance. The result is not particularly edifying 1 am sure all of us are glad that Mars is So re- mote and that none of LIS would have to spend our summer vacation on that world
 As this writer has drawn conclus- ions. have we not a right to draw con customs in spiritual realms as well as rhysicsl?"
 The preacher then related the incl
