6UTTER-MAKINe ADVICE.
Practical Suggestion from a Woman
Who Is Experienced Hand.

| Mrs. A. Joseph, a woman farmer,
has written very interesting article
on butter making. She writes as fol-
| lows:
When butter is high, why should we
buy 1t when 1t can be made at home
| with very little expense and trouble?
| With two good cows one can have
all the milk and cream needed for
the table and cooking and at the same
time make enough butter for family
of six, seven or eight
Never keep COW that gives less than
200 pounds of butter fat per year, as
1t will take about $50 pounds of but
ter fat to keep her, and you want
some profit.
Alfalfa, meal and middlings are by
far the best and cheapest food, and
of course she should have hay food
also, 1t is well to give her some green
feed, too, such as grass and carrots
and if near a cider mill and the pulp
ian be procured it will make excellent
iood
Do not keep a COW in dark barn
or shed that does not admit the sun
light. Put windows in it that will
let In the light and sunshine to every
corner. This will help keep off the
dread tuberculosis to which many
cows are subject
The milk should be kept clean, and
after straining Of one has no sep
arator) should be poured into ordi-
nary milk cans and kept in a cool,
dry place.
Some claim that if the milk is
warmed slightly before straining the
cream will rise mere quickly. 1t Is
also remarkable that if the pantry,
milk house or wherever the milk is
kept is light the cream will rise better
and be richer color
When the cream becomes thick
enough skim it carefully and see that
no milk is mixed with it. Set 1t in a
large crock to sour When it becomes
thick and sour it is ready for churn-
ing. A little over two quarts of cream
will make two pounds of butter.
II one has no churn a very mex
pensive way of churning is the fol-
lowing:
Place the cream in a cool milk
crock Then with very heavy wire
eggbeater beat the cream with long,
quick strokes-just the stroke you
would use in beating eggs.
Do not stir around, as it spoils the
grain of the butter Continue beat
ing until the cream becomes thick and
forms into little grains.
Remove the beaten and stir the
cream with small-sized butter pad
die until all the grains are gathered
together.
Save the butt ermilk, as it can be
used for good many things If one
has no pigs to enjoy it.
Drain the butter we'll; press in sew
eral places with the paddle and place
under a faucet of cold water, or pour
the water over it, repeating several
times and taking care to drain as
much of the milky water out as pos
sible each time.
When it is thoroughly drained wash
the paddles in cold water and sprinkle
with salt. The butter should also be
sprinkled with salt, about a table
spoonful to each pound Of butter.
Mix the salt in thoroughly with the
paddles, place 1t on cool plate or
mold into whatever shape is desired.
Wooden butter mclds are good and
small stamps can be bought for q
small sum, but enc can form the but
ter nicely with the paddles.

ken lateral shoots opposite each other
on adjoining branches and twisted
them round each other about a foot or
foot and half from root of branch.
In time the twisted side shoots grew
into one piece, and if the branch ever
breaks off it will be a break beyond
the splice and not split from where
it joins the tree. This may be an old
device, but l had never heard of or
seen 1t before, and it is worth telling.

LOOKING FORWARD

Do not these cool, gray mornings
mrke you think of christmas: 1t is
none too early to begin your prepara-
lions for the white festival, even
though you do not intend to give
many gifts, or have those you do give
very elaborate. You have now the
choice of great variety, and there are
many little odds and ends that can be
picked up for a small expenditure.
Many women took advantage of the
midsummer sales to get quite few
bargains, especially the handkerchief
sales. fyour preparations are begun
now, the finished product of your
leasure can be laid away In your
Christmas box, and before you
know it, you will have an abundance
OF pretty things without the struggle
with clamorous crowds who pnt off
their Christmas shopping until the
last few days. Then, too, by beginn-
ing early, you may be better prepared
to give inteIligently, through knowing
your friend needs or tastes. In your
giving, do not forget the old folks, and
donotthink that, because they areold,
they do not care for the pretty things
that please Others. The 'usefnl''
present-has no place in the Christmas
giving, though the real gift-which
may be but a pretty box of candy,
or potted plant, or bit of lace, may
be supplemented by the necessity in
the way of shoes, stockings, head
wrap or other piece of wearing app
parel.

No other class of people is more
jealous among themselves than the
newspaper men when brought into
direct competition. They not only
say mean things about each other but
cut and slash prices. No matter how
many doctors there are in town you
will find that pills are the same price
at each shop. They may talk about
each other but they maintain uni
form price for their service. Not SO
with the newspaper boys, so many
of whom seem to think their compete
tor has to lose for them to gain.
