Bitter Butter.

Bitter cream and butter may and
generally does result after the COW has
been feeding literally on moldy
hay, decaying roots and certain weeds.
Another fruitful source of bitter cream
and butter is the holding of the cream
at too low temperature, when objec.
tionable bacteria get in their work,
causing a pungent or bitter flavor.
For best results cream should be cool
ed and held at temperature of about
so degrees for six or seven hours i'm
med1ately after separation, after which
it should be ripened in a temperature
of from so to 70 degrees When ii
begins to turn sour it is ready to be
churned, and then the sooner it is
churned the better. In small diaries.
where several separator skimmings
are required to make up the quantity
of cream for a churning, the cream
should never be run from the separa.
tor into the vessel holding previous
skimmings. One needs a cream can OF
sufficient size to hold all that is re-
quired to make up the churning, and
such vessels should be kept in place
where the temperature is about &C
degrees. Each Swimming should be
cooled before being emptied into this
storage can. When fresh cream is
emptied it should be at once thoroug.
ly incorporated with the contents OF
the can by stirring with a spoon OF
1adle. Churning should not take place
within five or six hours after the last
cream has thus been added.-Field and

Farm
SiIO ufldfn&.

In all silos the greatest waste oc
ours around the sides, particularly ir
the corners, because the air has great
er access to these parts. The fodder
is not packed tightly in the corners
the air fills the interstices and decay
results. With the cylindrical silo tbs
friction is equally distributed over the
entire inside wall surface, so that the
silage settles evenly.
The place a silo is to occupy may
determine the form to build. There
are several kinds. Chief among these
are the round the stave, the square
rectangular, and the octagona1 form
A square or rectangular silo can usu
ally be constructed within barn with
better economy of space than round
silo. For these reasons square sllos
are most frequently employed within
the barn. and the circular type wher
a separate building is constructed.

According to William butcher, pres
ldeht of the Audubon Societies of the
United States. birds save to the farm
e. S20o0OO.00 a year in the destrue-
non Of nOXious insects and noxious
weeds. The great destroyers of birds
are the plume hunters for millinery
purposes. Birds destroyed for food
are restOcked by natural processes, but
the plume hunters recognize no closed
season.
Millinery interests in America rep
resent $3S.O0O.000 worth of work done
by the birds for the farmers. The

'oent butcher thinks the birds are en-
"lied to al least fair play from the
milliners.

RecIaiming Washed Land.

I had about one acre of washed
clay land on one side of a good field.
1t was absolutely devoid of yegeta-
ton, had been left out for a number
Of years after wasting fertilizer upon
1t, and was an eyesore. Early in the
spring l crossed it with burrows about
b feet apart. In these burrows |
dropped wild blackberry roots, one
about every feet. l dropped fork
full Of stable manure next to each root,
partially covering it, and covered the
whole with one furrow made with the
turn pillow. In the next furrow |
dropped small pine tops and partially
covered them with the pillow. | went
over all the land In the same way.
The work required three days for two
men and a team. The following spring
| plowed out the middles. This was
i've years ago, and have not touched
tue land since. | have gathered two
good crops of blackberries and the
land is now covered with heavy berry
bushes and a good wild grass sod,
with no wash to speak of.-G- M.

LIFTED UP AND CAST DOWN.


Text: Thou hast lifted me up. and
cast me down."-Psalm cii:19
Each of us In the humble walks of
life are on the heights and in the
depths alternately. God lifts lis up
at times into prosperity and comfort
and our lives flow on in ceaseless song
like the limpid musical stream, but
when He casts US down we murmur
and complain and forget that the
downward plunge is just as needful
and just as much a necessary part
of a beneficent plan rs the upl1ft is.
We find that there are just as many
uplifting strokes as there are down
ward returning plunges. There are
just as many valleys as there are
mountain peaks-just as many nights
as there are days-and the night is
just as necessary to our welfare and
happiness as the day is-the valleys
are as essential to the wealth of a
nation as the mountains are, for
while the mountains have their stores
of mineral wealth, the valleys in their
fertility are teaming with life.

The Grand army.

The President of the United States
and an imposing gathering Of mii
tary men and civilians recently dedf
Gated a monument in Washington to
DR.. B. F. Stephenson, who founded
the Grand Army of the Republic.
DR.. Stephenson was a surgeon of
the Fourteenth Illinois Infantry. He
entered the service 80 young that he
was regarded as a boy soldier, but he
served with distinction and attained
the rank of major. A few years after
the great conflict was over, the idea
came to him that among the scattered
soldiers Of the disbanded army was
the material for a great patriotic go
ciety The Grand Army, with its prin-
ciples of fraternity, charity and 10y
atty" Is the outgrowth of his happy
thought; and SO, too, indirectly, are
the Won1an's Auxiliary and the Sons
OF Veterans
1t is difficult to estimate justly the
place which the &c. A R" has occu-
pied and still occupies in American
life, but its influence for loyalty and
patriotism has certainly been great.
The mere existence of such a body OF
men, meeting regularly, and marching
in public once a year or oftener, has
helped to keep in mind the sacrifices
OF the sixties.
It is a pleasant thing to chronicle,
too, that the Grand Army has done
much to further the good feeling
which now exists between North and
South. It's members have been among
the first to extend the hand of fellow
ship across Mason and Dixon's line,
and the clasp that has greeted 1t has
been that Of the Confederate veteran.
In helping to keep alive the respect
for the sacrifices of the men who vol
unteered In the Civil War, in seeing
that their graves are properly cared
for and marked, and in personal in
struefion in patriotism in the public
schools. the Grand Army has earned
the love and respect of the nation. 1t
is good that the memory Of its founder
is now honored by monument

SERMONETTES.

Humility is never conscious even OF
itself.
Selfshness is the seed and sin is the
harvest.
Philosophical puppies are always
dogmatic.
To keep evil out helps to keep one

Weakness is the quiet that belongs

To dodge the facts is in the end to

Ohio. Where a few years ago a dozen
fields could be seen without travelling
more than mile or two, now scarcely
one exists. A farmer reported he saw

tors have arisen to work against beet

story of Confederate Flag.

Gen. w. l.. Cabell, Of Dallas, Tex
commander of the Mississippi
Department of the United Confederate
Veterans, wrote recently for the Chat
tanooga Times the following histor!
of the Confederate flag:
When the Confederate army, com
manded by Gen. Beauregard, and the
Federal army confronted each othel
at Manassas 1t was seen that the Con
federate flag and the Stars and Stripes
looked at a distance so much alike
that it was hard to distinguish one
from another. Gen. Beauregard, aft
er the battle of July Is at Blackburn
Ford, ordered that small red badge
should be worn on the left shoulder
by our troops, and as I was CHEZ
Quartermaster, ordered me to pur
chase large quantity Of red fannea
and to distribute it to each regiment
During the battle of Bull Run II
was plain to be seen that large
number of Federal soldiers wore
similar red badge. Gen. Johnston ant
Gen. Beauregard met at Fairfax court
house in the latter part of August Oh
early September and determined to
have a battle flag for every regiment
or detached command.
Gen. Johnston's flag was in the
shape of an ellipse-a red flag with
blue ST. Andrews cross and stars on
the cross (white) to represent tht
different Southern States. (No whits
border of any kind was attached t.
the eross) Gen. Beauregard's was
srectangle, red, with st. Andrews
cross and white stars, similar to Cen.
JohDston's
After we had discussed fully the
two styles, taking into consideration
the cost Of material and the care oi
making the same, it was decided tina
elliptical flag would be harder to
make; that it would take more cloth
and it could not be seen so plainly al
distance that the rectangular fias
drawn by and suggested by Gen. Beau
regard should be adopted. Gen. John
ston yielded at once.
mo one else was present but We
three. No one knew about the flag
but we three until an order was Is
sued adopting the Beauregard flag, AZ
1t was called, and directing me, as
Chief Quartermaster, to have the flag
made as soon as 1t could be done.
Immediately issued an address to thu
good ladies Of the South to give me
their red and blue dresses and to send
them to Capt. Colin McRae Selph
Quartermaster at Richmond Va
(Capt. Selph is now living at New
Orleans), where he was assisted by
two elegant young ladies, the Misses
Carey from Baltimore, and Mrs. Hem
ningsen, of Savannah and Mrs. Hop
kins, of Alabama.
The Misses Carey made battle fagr
for Gen. Beauregard and Gen. Var
Dorm, and, I think, for Gen. ]. e.
Johnston. They made Gen. Beaure
CARDS out of their own silk dresses
This flag Is now in Memorial Hall
New Orleans, with q statement Of the
fact from Gen. Beauregard. Gen. Var
Dorn's flag was made of heavier ma,
terial, but very pretty.

this flag was first designed by Fedora
prisoners Is false.
Gen. Beauregard's battle flag is In
Memorial Hall at New Orleans. The

LAW OF RECIPROCITY.

Bv Rev. E. w. Caswell.
1t is more blessed to give than to
receive.-Acts 20:3b.
This text is the embodiment OF one
of the greatest OF truths-the law OF
reciprocity. Similar passages in the
Scrintures are: Whatsoever man
soweth. that shall he also reap;
GIVE, and it shall be given unto you;
Bear We one anothers burdens, and so
fulfill the law of Christ
Giving is like an endless circle. 1t
is casting bread upon the waters,
which returns in multiplied abundance
after many days. It is the seed IT the
soil, bursting into golden harvest. 1t
is the banker. giving out to the Dor
rover till the interest exceeds the prln-
cipal. It is the philanthropist, recelV-
ing the gratitude of mankind. 1t is
the martyr missionary, losing his life
to find it. 1t is the discoverer and
inventor like Hendrix Hudson and
Robert Fulton. giving their genius for
the welfare of the people and receiy-
ing generations afterward, the plaud-
its and thanksgiving of the world, be-
cause of the glory of their achieve
ments.
Men who give get bills of exchange
on Gods banking house, the interest
of which is paid as we need 1t along
the tourney of life. while the principal
awaits YOUR arrival in the eternal city
Giving is the philosophers stone,
which, instead Of turning everything
into gold, turns gold into everything
into halls of learning, Libraries of
information. missions for millions
homes for the homeless, Christ for the
Christless, and life, eternal life, for
the dying.
The returning compensation for all
noble deeds comes in that which Is
better than an equivalent; in a love
and gratitude unpurchasable, as 1t is
unfading and unspeakable in its glory
and blessedness It is the crown OF
character on the brow Of the individ-
uaI or nation, respondent, immortal.
Even though your gift is unappre-
ciated or misapplied, it is irreversibly
recorded in your being. Children may
be undutifu1, but the parents are
blessed on account of their expressions
of kindness and care. Husbands may
be drunken or brutal, but the wife
who struggles patiently on has her re-
ward in her own soul, and it may be
the final redemption Of her lost one.
The Divine Christ, who gave Himself
upon the cross as a Saviour as an ex-
ample of infinite seIf-sacrifice, pos
sesses a name above every name and
throne universal and eternal.

All nature is full Of the same
thing Nature abhors monotony as
much as she abhors a vacuum. God
has struck nothing on a dead level
The hills and the dales, the noun
tains and the valleys, the rivers and
the rock-ribbed ridges are but nature S
counterpart to grace. Even the water
that constantly seeks it's level is not
permitted to find it, unless it be to
become stagnant and breed poison and
death in the stiffness. The seas that
bear the commerce of the world are
foam, lifted into pillows and plowed
into troughs.
Much of the worry of this busy
American life of ours which sometimes
results in dependency and despair
Is, after all, only borrowed trouble, as
If there was not trouble enough in
the present without purloining from
the future? The rich man in the up
lift of prosperity, fears the down
plunge of adversely and is sure that
he will die poor, and SO his fears
strange his faith. We grow irritable
and complain of Gods treatment OF
U.S. We forget that His setting sun
shall rise again. We complain when
He gives us anything good that He
does not give us everything good. We
do not get half the sweetness out OF
life.
1t Is not by dead forms and stag
nant rituals, but by the inytncible
logic of holy and consistent lives that
the enemies of truth are to be van
ouished. There is a. parable which
sets forth this very beautifully. 1t
runs this: Zone day David the King
of Israel sat on Mt Zion. His harp
was before him and he leaned his
head upon it. Then the prophet, Cad,
came to him and said Wherein
museth my Lord the King" David
answered: ON the continual changes
of my destiny How many songs of
Joy and gratitude have :! sung to this
harp, but how many songs also OF
mourning and sorrow BE thou like
unto the harp, said the prophet. What
meanest thou?' asked the King. BE
hold answered the man Of God, both
thy sorrow and thy Joy drew heaven
" sounds from the harp, and animal
ed it's strings" Thus let JOY and
sorrow form thy heart to a celestial
harp The strains of the harp would
give forth no music unless they were
fretted. Let us let God attune our
lives into harmony with His provl-
dences as they are working all about
us and within us, and after all Is
done the final up1ift will carry us to
the threshold Of the celestial city
And he who lifts us up there will
never cast us down again.

4'PAlD IN FULL" COMING
At OPERA HOUSE OCT. Il

Among the many distinctive features
of Eueene Walters Paid in Full''
that make it the exceptional play of the
time. is the character of the hero who
is anything but heroic. That is to say,
the leading man, who is usually the hero
in a play. is really the william in paid
in Full Heroism is not lacking in
paid in Full" Men and won en-
possess the quality. but there is not a
spark of it in the leading man. He is
Joe Brooks. an SIS a week clerk. who.
in resentment at not being advanced
in business. steals from his employer.
When he is found out he tries to shift
the blame on his young wife and to
sacrifice her to gain immunity from
punishment. There have been many
plays in which the leading man has
shown a bad streak at one time OF
another. though in the end he has re-
deemed himself bv proving of the right
sort. Not q Joe Brooks. He carries
~viciousness and cowardliness to the very
finish. unrelieyed by one glimpse of
heroism, unless it be when, face, to
face with his employer, Capt Williams,
he openly and strongly expresses his
opinion of him and his methods. Ger
tain ANALYSTS. though. have seen a
vein of generosity in Brooks. No char
acter in contemporaneous drama has
been 8 widely discussed as this one.
He is of a type common to every Ameri-
can city. and it is to Mr.. Walters
credit as a playwright that he has
pictured this character with a fidelity
that has caused many essays to be
written on conditions that produce Joe
Brookses. In fact, paid in Full has
attracted a greater degree of attention
from those who view the stage as a
vital factor in modern life and recog-
nize its value as an instructive as well
as an entertaining institution than any
play that has attempted to portray ex-
listing conditions. That it has served
Q great end and attained unprecedented
popularity in the process is convincingly
demonstrated by its r More per-
sons have seen paid in FULL" more
companies have played it than any
other piece in theatrical history. The
Wasenhals & Kemper Company is
maintaining this season the five
companies that played Paid in Full''
al last season, each of which has to
