MAKING GOOD BUTTER.
Article of High Quality May Be Pro-

Much of the butter made in the
country is not as good as it might be,
and this need not be so. for the process
Of making "a first class article is very
simple. writes w Fl. Underwood in
the Country Gentleman.
Before the milking begins the sides
and udders Of the COWS are carefully
brushed. thus preventing dirt and dust
from falling into the milk The milk
ing is done with clean. dry hands; to
milk with wet fingers would be eX-
tremely filthy. AS soon as the milk is
drawn from the COW it is strained
through wire gauze and three thick
nesses of cheesecloth. All the milk
utensils are thoroughly cleaned after
being used by first washing them in
lukewarm water. next in hot water.
and then they are scalded in boiling

in connection with the milk is put in

is of the utmost Importance.
The cream is separated from the
milk with a hand separator and held

Reciprocity. Free List and Wool
Bills Still "in the Air."
BAILEY PROPOSES AMENDMENT
Would Tack Farmers Free List Bill
Upon Canadian Reciprocity
Bill and Pass Both at
Same Time.

Washington, July II. = A notable
speech by Senator Sutherland of Utah
on the Arizona constitution was the
feature of the day in the senate Dur
ing his remarks he paid his compli-
ments to Senator Bourne of Oregon
and the promoters of the progressive
league, and the initiative, referendum
and recall
Senator Sutherland spoke for more
than two hours.
Senator William Alden Smith of
Michigan, chairman of the committee
on territories, reported the house res
olutiOn comforting statehood on Ari-
IONA and New Mexico He gave no.
tice that later he would offer an
amendment striking from the Arizona
constitution the recall of judges Sen
ator Nelson announced that the
minority members of the committee
could not concur in the statehood reso-
luton and that they would submit a
minority report
Two efforts were made to fix a
defirite day for votes on the Canadian
reciprocity, farmers free list and wool
bill. Senator Watson of West Vir-
gina, asked unanimous consent for a
vote on Canadian reciprocity on July
10, the farmers free list bill July 20
and the house wool bill July 21. At
the suggestion of Senator Lodge the
request was allowed to go over the
day. The other resolution was sub
mitted later in the day by Mr. Pen
rose, who proposed to vote on the reci-
procity bill on July "a, farmers free
list bill July 26 and the wool bill July
27. Senator Bristow objected to these
dates.
Senator Bailey then proposed the
farmers free list bill as an amend
ment to the Canadian reciprocity bill
and took the floor to debate it. The
discussion was confined almost entire
ly to the Democratic side and there
was a sharp interchange of views on
the subject of free raw material, and
Democratic policies between Senators

However. one management made the
plunge, and the two witty southerners
found themselves on the same plat
form.
Taylor introduced Jones. He flayed
Jones numerically, leaving little cuti-
Gle on him. The crowd laughed hearth
ly and waited for Jones to take his re-
venge
Jones arose. He was always cool as
ice. This time was 10 exception. The
audience held its collective breath. The
scathing was about to begin.
Jones, however. said nothing to indi-
cate that he had even heard what Tay-
lor had said. The crowd felt that at
last Jones was overmatched. He de-
livered his lecture and made the usual
hit. Yet there was much surprise that
he had not replied to Taylor.
Just as Jones finished his set talk he
turned and looked at Taylor. Then he
drawled out. with jerk of his thumb
toward Taylor:

I'm reminded of a little dawg l used
to know down in Gawgy. That dawg
lived close TO the railroad track. and
every evening when the fast express
train went shooting through that little

say: Last night l didn't get it. but I've
figured out since why 1t was I'll get
1t this time. I'm just so hungry for an
express train Everybody around there
knew that dawg would be killed some
time by that train. Bound to. Couldn't
help it.

just one big, noisy cloud of dust. That
little dawg ran out as usual and ran
along by the tracks. He was sucked
