DAIRY NOTES.

Cool the milk as soon as 1t comes
from the COW both in winter and sum-
mer.
Cool each lot of cream in cold wa
ter before adding to the general lot of
cream
1t doesn't pay to keep too many
COWS any more than it pays to farm
too much land.
Do not fill the churn over one-third
to one-half full. Give the cream room
for agitation
The man who spends his time milk
ing scrub COWS can't find time to
think about better ones.
Good butter must be properly pre-
sented to the market. 1t must not
only be good but look good.
Cream that is being ripened should
be thoroughly stirred several times be-
fore it is ready for churning.
Impure or unclean milk cannot be
returned to its original purity. Pre-
vention is the safest and surest plan.
Butter is usually worked enough
when the water has been removed so
that the butter will bend without
breaking.
Too much working will spoil the
grain of butter and make it soft while
leaving too much water in will spoil
it's keeping qualities.
High grade butter is the result of
intelligence-poor butter the result of
ignorance. The one is in demand
everywhere, the other goes begging
in the market
Butter worth 40 cents per pound is
made from the same milk that grease
worth 20 cents pound is made from,
and it takes as much to make the one
as the other.
Dairy COWS must be treated in ac-
cordance with their Importance, as a
factor of success, and the milk and
cream must be handled properly from
cow to churn, and from churn to mar
ket.

Britain'S Rulers,

Mr.. Lloyd George is pleasantly
proud of his nationality, but it is anna

Elizabeth and the Tudors to find his

other hand, England has often been
ruled by Scotsmen. OF the last three
premiers, two-Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman and Mr.. Balfour-were
Scotch. Mr.. Gladstone sat for

Asquith. Ireland has always been

Roberts, Lord Charles Beresford,

Fierce Fiuht with Tarpon.

A fish tale from the Gulf of Mexico
relates to the adventures of five sail
ors who were running a small schoon-
er down the coast off Corpus Christi.
The vessel was gliding along smooth
ly when the monotony of the voyage
was broken by six-foot tarpon leap
ing upon the deck from the water.
The big fish at once began making
things interesting on the boat, and
for time 1t looked as if the crew
would have to jump overheard to es-
cape being knocked lifeless. They
finally regained control of their nerve,
however, and decided to have it out
with the fish, so one of them seized
an ak and the others hand-spikes, and
at the tarpon they went. The struggle
was long and fierce, and one Of the
sailors was knocked overheard by
coming in contact with the tarpon's
tail. A rope was thrown him and he
was pulled back on deck. At last the
fish succumbed to the repeated blows
of the ak and hand-spikes, and lay
along the deck as dead as a mack
erel.

Waterproof Paper.

japanese waterproof paper is made
of fibers of bamboo and eucalyptus
mixed with fibers of the ampi and 9TH
er shrubs. The f1bers are torn apart,
dried, cleansed, scraped, boiled in
weak dye and washed with water.
They are then beaten and mixed with
a viscous infusion of certain roots and
solution containing camphor,
caoutchouc and resin. The sheets
formed from this pulp are calendered
at various temperatures. The paper
is light, washable and very difficult to
tear. It is used to initiate leather and
india rubber and for a great many
other purposes.

"I always drank coffee with the rest

'T had been troubled some time
with my heart, which did not feel

was until friend suggested that per-

drinking. 1 tried leaving off the coffee
and began drinking Postum. The
change came quickly. I am now glad
to say that am entirely well of the
heart trouble and attribute the relief
to leaving off coffee and the use Of
Postum.
"A number of my friends have aban-
doned the old fashioned coffee and
have taken up with Postum, which
they are using steadily. There are
some people that make Postum very
weak and tasteless, but If it is boiled
long enough, according to directions,
It is a very delicious beverage. We
have never used any of the old fash

LuxurIes Imported by Chinese.

The table luxIries of the Chinese in
this country are supposed to be con-
fined to chop suey, rice and sharks
fins, apart from the sweets that are
imported from the Celestial empire
for their use. 1t is not generally
known that chop suey should not be
included among the dishes to which
the so-called Celestials are used in
their own country. 1t is a concoction
made popular in California years ago
when the Mongolian cooks catered,
for the first time, to the Caucasian ap-
petite. But there is fidelity to their
native productions that is respon-
sible for another food imported by
them, despite the fact that the same
might be obtained here in abundant
quantity, namely, eggs. The custom
house records show that in 1908 there
were imported from Hong-Kong IL .sO1
dozen eggs exclusively for the use of
