TO MAKE GOOD BUTTER.
You Need Good Cows and Then They
Must Be Handled Right.

Good cows. proper feed and drink,
and thorough care of the dairy come
before the management of milk in the
production of butter. But after the
milk is produced absolute cleanliness
of material and utensils is essential,
writes New York correspondent of
the Orange Judd Farmer. make
only about 12 pounds of butter a
week, put up in two. five and eight
pound jars, to be sold direct to pri-
vate customers. For the butter of
ordinary cattle l use about two tea
spoonfuls of commercial coloring to
100 pounds, but for that of Jerseys
less, as their butter is more highly
colored. Butter should be worked
until all the water is well out, but no
more. The old rule of one ounce of
salt to the pound may be all right fov
large packages to put in storage, but
for small packages for the consumers,
three-quarters of an ounce is better
My experience and close observation
of half century convinces me that
among farmers much butter is spoiled
by keeping the cream too long and by
overworking and oversalting.

cows, HOGS AND HENS.
There Is Growing Appreciation Of
the Value Of the First Named.

There Is growing appreciation Of
the dairy COW. Not long ago farm
er expressed himself to the writer as
friend Of the COW that gives lots of
milk, simply because she furnished
him with skim milk and buttermilk
for his hogs. He is in the hog brei-
ness and is very successful. We don't
like this kind of an expression of ap-
probation OF the COW, but 1t is better
than none. Had he said that he ap-
preciated the hog because it enabled
him to realize more from his dairy, it
would have suited the writer better,
but that is simply because the COW is
first in our esteem. says the North
western Agriculturist But the fact
remains the same anyway. In order
to realize greatest returns from the
dairy COW the farmer shout. make
good use of the by-products. Hogs
and poultry will make handsome re-
turns for these. AS our farmers turn
their attention from exclusive grain
raising to diversified farming they
will from year to year more appreci-
ate the value of that great combina-
tion, good cows, good hogs and good
poultry.

HANDLING the Calves.

Young calves. are coming daily on
farms where many cows are kept, and
rs fast as one arrives 1t usually finds
itself in the calf pen," away from the
mother. This means more milking
and more milk. When grass grows
green again, the milk flow will be
still further increased. However,
there seems little danger of overdo-
ing the trade. for folks must have the
products of the dairy. Meat products
are high, which always helps along
the sale Of butter. AS production
cheapens, the price lowers accord
ingly, but there seems no danger of
the present ratio OF cost and selling
price being disturbed.

GEN. BOOTH ON EIGHTIETH
BIRTHDAY STARTS NEW PLAN
Veteran Founder of Salvation Army Launches
Scheme for university of Humanity" in the
United States---Au the World Celebrates
Anniversary Of His Birth.

New York.-Gen. William Booth.
founder and commander-in-chief of the
Salvation Army. celebrated his eight
leth birthday on Saturday. April 10,
and the event was made the occasion
Of rejoicing all over the civilized
world. The Army itself held big meet
tngs in every city and town where 1t
Is established, and these were partici-
pated in by hundreds of thousands of
other citizens who were glad to do
honor to the distinguished philan-
thropist.
Gen. Booth himself presided over
several monster mass meetings in
London. His advanced age and the
fact that he was operated on recently
for cataract did not deter him from
taking part In the celebrations held by
his devoted soldiers.
University Of Humanity Launched.
In America the day was marked
especially by the launching of another
of Gen. Booths original schemes for
social reform in the United States
At every post of the army was an
nounced the beginning of work to
found University of Humanity, a
great institution for the training of
workers in social service. The uni
versity will be divided between New
York and Chicago. and 1t is expected
to begin with fund of 81 .O0O. 900. The
gathering Of this fund is the work
that the army now enters upon in
commemoration of its famous leaders
completion of his eightieth year.
AS a much-needed stone in the great
organizational structure that William
Booth has been building during the
past Al years, this idea Of a school
for the systematic training of his
workers has been in his mind for sew
eral years. On his last visit to the
United States the general made his
first tentative announcement of the
plan. Since then he has worked out
many Of the details and he has Just
consented to the beginning of pre-
1iminary work in this country where
the need for trained workers has been
especially great.
Growth Of Great System.
~ ID PSAAoPo AoS 6CACAd ally ICaAAASo
that the whole intricate modern ma
chinery of civilization for the uplift-
ing of the submerged tenth, the vast
system of charities now SO essential
a part of modern life, Is to a very
large extent an outgrowth Of the
Booth idea. He was the first to see
that the unfortunate could best be
reached by those who had suffered as
they had. and that they must be
reached by practical worldly help be-
fore they could be prepared to begin
the cleaner life. 1t was the Salvation
Army which first made a practical
working success of this now familiar
principle of so-called missionary
work"
This whole plan Of campaign for
raising the fallen began on a very
simple scale in the poverty-stricken
and crime-infested East end OF Lon
don and under the impetus Of William
Booths singular force of mind and
personality and the momentum that 1t
has gathered with almost miraculous
rapidity it has developed into . truly
] astonishing organization.

To Protect Cabbage Plants.

When Cabbage plants are raised in
beds, either in hot beds or the gar
den, the flea beetles may be kept from
them by the use of screens made from
cheese cloth. A light wooden frame
should be made, extending about two
feet above the surface of the bed. The
cheese cloth is stretched over this, ex-
tending to the ground on all sides. Tia
edges that touch the ground may be
lightly covered with earth to prevent
the eSetles from finding their way be-
meath.

Some OF the departments of its
work are: Prison-gate and Rescue,
lnebriates' homes, Boys and Girls
homes. Farm colonies, Emigration,
Naval and Military homes, Maternity
homes. nursing. Samaritan brigades.
hospital and benevolent visitation. po-
lice court work and Indian school
training.
No other religious organization in
the worlds history has branched out
into so many departments of philan-
thropic effort and absorbed them as
part of its religious duties.
Need Of Trained Workers.
The scheme for University of HUI
manity grew naturally out of the de-
velopment of the 20 other depart
ments. With field as wide as the
world itself the work of the Salvation
Army is only limited by the number
OF workers that can be secured and
its effectiveness by the understanding
and earnestness of these workers. AS
uplift work has grown from local eff
forts to help few into a great In
elusive movement which must miss
none, the proble~"s of organization
have grown greater. Charity has be-
come science and its application an
art requiring the highest development
of personal qualities of insight and
altruism. There is thus pressing need
for workers of quite exceptional aual.
ification. These qualifications must
first Of all be inherent and must then
be developed by experience and spe-
cial training.
This is the new work planned by
Gen. Booth. Those women, for in
stance, who are to go among the
slums of the big cities must not only
have the desire to help but must know
how real helpfulness can best be se-
cured. They must understand by a
study of practical sociology some
thing of the social forces that create
this poverty and crime and wretched-
ness. They must understand the dan
ger of the unwise charity that merely
increases dependence and understand
| the value of better living conditions
in raising the moral courage of those
to whom fate has been unkind They
must be able not only to correct home
conditions themselves but to impart
their knowledge and to inspire with
desire for betterment.
Value Of the Organization.
This will be but small part of the
university's training In social service

list. but 1t serves to show of what

The Butter Trade.

The only way the local butter trade
can be put upon paying basis to the
producer is to quit butter making for
a time and adopt the cream selling
plan. Anything less than 20 cents,
present price of feed considered,
leaves no profit to the maker of but
