MAKING BUTTER ON THE FARM.
Two Prime Essentials to Success In
This Branch of Dairyng.

There are two prime essentials In
making butter on the farm a profitable
business. In the first place, one must
have plenty of pure, cold water; and
then good enough grade must be
turned out to make and hold custom
ers. The trouble with nine out of
every ten farm homes is they are not
equipped to take care of milk and
cream. When one goes into this work
to make money, better put up milk
room, where pure water may be had
from pumping or from spring. Con-
crete floor and walls may now be built
as cheaply as with lumber, and 1t is
great deal better than lumber. Don't
stop here A barrel churn and a but
ter maker will be necessary in turning
out a uniform product 1t looks easy
simply separating the cream, churn-
ing till the butter comes, and sailing
and the trick is done. That is where
so many fail The cream must be
churned at the right temperature; II
sour. Working and sailing butter to
secure uniform color and flavor Is
very nice art. Don't try to learn to do 1t
infallibly in two or three weeks. but by
all means don't practice on your GUS
toners. That means loss. II is better
to wait two or three months. until you
are sure of your quality before you
seek customers. And before you ship,
find out how your commission man or
private customers prefer to have their
butter put up. Sometimes the pack
age means a difference of two or
three cents a pound.

Hair Powders.

AT the seashore and wherever warm.
humid weather is encountered, the
woman with straight hair has much to
contend with. Unless unusually lux
uriant, straight hair is always difficult
to arrange becomingly, but in hot
climate the task is an almost impos-
sible one. Some kind of powder
rubbed into the hair as often as neces-
sary will do much to keep the stray
locks manageable, but of course the
powder must not be recklessly used
or 1t will defeat the very end for
which II is aiming. Swedish hair pow
der rubbed into the hair twice, three
times, or oftener, week. is particu-
larly good as 1t also acts as a tonic
and strengthens the roots of the hair
besides keeping the scalp in good con-
dition.
