The Quality of Butter,

The quality of butter depends to a
great degree upon the food and drink
OF the COW. She should have clean,
pure water and wholesome food. Much
care should be taken in the selection
Of the ration. The Individual cow has
much to do in this regard. But with
respect to the part that is played in
handling the product of the COW too
much carelessness is evident in the
processes Of butter-making. After
churning Is finished the butter and
milk mixture should remain quiet for
about ten minutes in order to let the
butter come to the surface. A cup of
cold water will hasten the process.
An old recipe says:
The butter should be carefully
skinned off into a wooden bowl half
full of water. The water should be
repeatedly changed until 1t shows no
indication Of milkiness. 1t Is impor-
tant that the butter should not be
pressed or worked during the process
of removing the milk from the butter.
After this the butter may be pressed
into mass and salt to the extent Of
one-fortieth Its weight worked into It..
The water should be well pressed out,
but the less worked .he more perfect
ly Its granular character Is main
tained.

in radius wide enough to include
anything that falls from 1t. A circle
Of canvas, with hole in the middle
to receive the trunk of the tree, Is
fastened around the latter and also
fastened to the stakes with the outer
edge of the ring lower than the por-
tion around the tree. Around the outer
edge, too, is a wall to keep the con-
tents from rolling off to the ground.
The fruit falls from the tree into this
canvas net and Is thus saved from
bruising. 1t rolls down to the outer
edge and lies there until the picker
comes along and collects 1t, thereby
saving the latter time and trouble and
keeping the fruit itself in good condi-
ton.

Cost of Producing Eggs.

A bulletin from Cornell University
gives the results Of record of few
hundred hens kept in 1902 as 9.2 cents
per dozen for the average feed cost of
eggs throughout the year. Some figures
published in Farm Poultry gave the
record Of a large number Of poultry
keepers, which shows the average cost
OF eggs per dozen in winter as Is
cents, in summer 81 cents. Undet
present prices the feed alone would be
about II to IL cents per dozen.

Instead Of washing rice half dozel,
times in cold water to remove the
starch, rinse twice in very hot water

them throw rice slowly into rapidly

SOCIETY TO COME HERE
State and County Societies Ex-
tend Invitations

The Los Angeles county and the CAL
ifornia State Medical associations have
extended encouraging invitations to the
American Medical association, which
will meet in convention in Los Angeles.
The convention will decide Friday or
Saturday whether it will accept the in
vitation, which will be formally pre-
sented at ST. Louis by DR.. Fl. Bert
Ellis, for many years member af the
house of delegates.
In the field against Los Angeles for
the 1911 convention is Buffalo, N. Y,
which, it is expected, will have the sup
port of the New York and Pennsyl-
vania delegations. both of which are
large and influential While New Eng
land usually votes with the delegates
from these state, it is said that this
time there is an unusually strong sem
timent in favor of Los Angeles, and the
Los Angeles county society has been
flooding the physicians all over the
country setting forth the advantages of
holding the convention here, and citing
the innumerable beauties and attrac-
tions of the Angel city.
Among others, besides DR.. Ellis, who
have left to attend the convention, are
DR.. Stanley p. Black, third vice presi-
dent of the association; DR.. Granville

TUNA CLUB WANTS TO
CHANGE FISH ORDINANCE
Petitions Supervisors to Permit
Catching Bait Sardines

Claiming that the boatmen of Avalon
are thrown out Of business by the ordi-
nance which prevents their catching
bait sardines in the shallow waters Of
the bay, the Tuna club, through its
president, Charles r. Holder filed re-
quest yesterday with the board of su-
pervisors for modification of the or
dinance against catching fish within Il
mile of the mouth of a sewer.
The game warden has advised against
any change whatever in the ordinance,
when. the question has been up before.
The Tuna club favors the object of the
ordinance, but wishes that the bait fish,
which are not used for food, be not
included.
1t was suggested that deputy game
warden be appointed at Avalon at the
expense Of the Tuna club, whose duay
it would be to inspect the fish caught
and see that only the sardines are re-
tanned.
On the advice of District Attorney
Shaw that a hearing be held, when w.
B. Morgan, the game warden, could be
present to discuss the subject the re-
quest will be considered again next
Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
