EVERYBODY TO USE AlRSHlPS

New York.-John B. Moissant

Mayor Proposes Amendment to Old
Ordinance Aiming at Practise OF
Chicago Sportsmen.

Chicago.-Though Chicago has a
population of more than two millions,
hunting in the city limits has become
so prevalent that the mayor found 1t
necessary to send letter to the coun-
ell, at the suggestion of the chief of
police. proposing an amendment to
the old hunting ordinance, which has
been doing duty since 1905 to the
satisfaction Of Chicago's stay-at-home
hunters.
Most Chicagoans, who live in dis
tricts so congested that the report of
shotgun would bring a dozen police
men on the jump, are not aware that
1t is the practise of many other Chi
cagoans, who know about the hunting
grounds. to sally forth, in season, and
return with a bagful of game birds
without ever having left the city
limits.
In letter to the council, which ac-
companied the proposed amendment
to the hunting ordinance, Mayor
Busse told of the numerous com
plants occasioned by metropolitan
hunting" that had reached Chief
Steward and caused him to ask for
action by the city fathers.
Wolf lake, Hyde lake. Lake Calu-
met and the Calumet river have been
swarming with hunters in the shoot
ing seasons of the past At the con-
tnuance OF these as hunting grounds
the amendment is not aimed, and in
future the echo of the reports OF shot
guns still will ring over their waters.
That section of the Chicago happy
hunting ground" which the mayor
would move from the realm OF the
primeval into that of the metropolitan
comprises a section of the lake shore
on the South side, the shore Of the
drainage canal and several other
favored haunts of game. The only
restriction on hunting in the open

TO MAKE SUPERIOR BUTTER
Several Essential Suggestions for
Dalrymen That Insure Success
In Quality and Flavor.
CBy BESSIE L. PuTNAM1


Butter of the best quality is OBJ.
tanned only when the cream is churn-
ed twice a week. though a product
of fair quality may be secured from
weekly churning II extra care is
taken of the cream during the gath.
ering process.
1t must be kept in well ventilated
cellar or room free from objection.
able odor II vegetables are kept
in the same compartment see to II
that there are no decaying members
among them. Cabbage is especially
prone to affect the flavor of milk or
butter.
If you use ensilage never feed the
silage until after the milking is done
and the milk cared for. Milk read.
lily absorbs odors and the butter will
be of inferior quality as a result.
Always scald pals, strainers and
separators in fall and winter, with as
much care as In midsummer Because
the milk does not quickly sour is no
reason why vigilance in this direction
should be relaxed. The bitter odor is
bound to creep in unless this detail Is
carefully attended to-
If the butter Is hard to come keep
the cream in warm room IL
hours before churning. This is much
more satisfactory than putting in hot
water to raise the temperature OF the
cream
When packing butter away, scald
all the crooks a nd pals thoroughly
One that has had rancid butter in
can seldom be cleansed sufficiently
to keep butter well afterward; though
If 1t is necessary to use such crock,
perhaps the best method of sweeten-
ing it is to fill 1t with clay for short
time. This soil has the power to
draw out Objectionable favors as
nothing else can do.
When packing butter for the win.
ter months always use the best Of salt.
and cover with a cloth well sprinkled
with salt. Avoid coloring material
Strive to keep the cream at the
proper temperature before and during
the process of churnlng and artificial
tints will not be required
More butter is spoiled BY being
over, rather than urder-worked
Don't churn when .ou are cooking
onions and then lie surprised If the

ried on In any part of the kitchen it

Utility Of the Cream separator.

Those who have never used a cream
separator do not know Of its actual
value In dairy work. One great econ
omy in using the cream separator in
summer is the small space required to
keep the product to be saved. Tho
separating is done Immediately after
milking, and all of the skim milk not
wanted for household use is fed to the
calves, pigs or poultry
There is no trouble In storing II
away for the cream to rise and no
large number of milk vessels to clean
and handle. The separator. OF course,
must DO cleaned. but the work Of
cleaning is not nearly so great as
the work Of cleaning all the milk yes
sells necessary for holding the milk
II takes care Of There are brushes
for cleaning which MAKE the work
easy. and there is no drying. as scald-
ing water is used and the heat from
this dries the parts without the use of

LIFE IN YOKOHAMA

correspondent of the Chicago Daily

1t is hard to believe that only a lit
tie over so years ago Commodore
Perry found Yokohama an insignif-
cant fishing village. In those days
Kanagawa across the bay was the
main port, but as it was on the main
road, the Tokaido. and meetings be-
tween foreigners and the armed
trains of the Daimyos passing to and
from the capital were to be appre-
hended. Yokohama was brought into
the foreground.
Much Of Yokohama is, of course,
truly japanese, and we reveled in the
quaint shops on the Motomachi,
where there are no sidewalks and
life goes on in true native fashion.
There in the silk stores we sat on

toy shops as delighted as children
over the many quaint contrivances.
One night every other week the
Motomachi is brilliantly lighted with
strange little lanterns and the passing
throngs carry others, so that the eff
feet from the distance is enhancing.
On these nights booths are arranged
all along the street and you can finger
anything without annoying the sales
men. We fell in love with the dwarf
trees and with the tiny urchins hav-
ing their mouths stuffed full of spun
sugar by the candymaker. who bris-
tied with pride when we tarried long
beside him. Strange beads and ported
flowers were offered to us by shy lit.
tie girls and all around us was a gay
hubbub, every one good natured. every
one out TO enjoy life, laughing and
nudging and scraping sandaled feet
On Benton-dori our hands ran to
our purse strings constantly, so fasci-
mating were the shops there. At
Yamamotos We were shown the most
superb old embroideries, and it was
hard to make a selection, as we want
ed all OF them. Nozawaya's is a mod
ern department store, and the curio
shops drive one distracted. Wonder
full bits Of old Imari, cabinet pieces
too precious for nomads like ourselves
and old daggers and Daimyo HITS
tempted us on every side.
AT big silk store on Honcho-dori
the proprietor and his little wife bow
ed to the ground and offered us 20
cha (tea), which we drank out OF
consideration for them. There is
something very charming about the
old-time courtesy of these little peo-
pie, and one is sorry to see it wearing
away in the seacoast towns, where we
learned to despise the stamp of mod
ernism in Japan. Like most people
who spring suddenly into prominence,
they are becoming arrogant and show
ing an overpowering sense of their
own importance and a vanity not at
all in proportion to their size Tour
lists are doubtless largely responsible
for this. Their manners shock even
our hardened western sense of pro-
priety and to the courteous, gentle:
hammered native their brusque ways
and loud voices, their harsh COM
ments and loud laughter must strike
home painfully.
There is not much sightseeing to be
done in Yokohama; the ride to Mis-
slssippi bay. to Mikusu's porcelain
factory and to the little tea house on
the blur, which is reached by ascend
ing 100 steps and is hallowed by the
memory of Perrys visit to II, are the
chief points of interest. 1t is the
street sights, the shops and the COM
forts of living which hold the visitor
In Yokohama.
During our stay we had three hid.
eous days and nights to live through

down the native streets ran crowds OF
