Ms 81 LOHN RESIGNs.

The resignation Of Mrs Josephine
St John who for thirteen years ha,
been Principle of the School OF
Music, has heen the cause of deep re-
greet to both the student body and the
faculty of Alma College.
Mrs. st. John came to Alma In the
fall of 90 Previous to this time she
had taught for six wears in the schools
of Saginaw and was granted wears
absence for study abroad. One wear,
however. did not satisfy woman of
Mrs st Johns energy and ambition
and. resigning her position in Sagi-
nav, she continued her studies for two
wears longer. graduating from the
Royal Conservatory of Dresden in the
spring of go From Dresden she came
directly to Alma, teaching here three
days in the week and at the same
time conducting classes in Saginaw,
Pontiac, and Detroit.
Before Mrs st. John took charge of
the vocal music at Alma the depart
ment had never numbered more than
eight pupils but 1t shortly became
necessary for her to teach during the
evenings as well as the DAYS in order
to supply the demands of her con-
stantlv increasing number of pupils.
Three DAYS a week soon proved INSULT
cient and at the beginning of her
second year an arrangement was made
for her to give in Alma and give all
of her time to the School of Music
here.
For thirteen wears Mrs. st John
has given unsparingly of herself to
Alma College. 1t Is due entirely to
her wonderful ability that this depart
ment. numbering in 90 no more than
eight pupils has grown until at times
as many rs seventy lessons q week
have been given.
Not to Alma College alone has she

Two new classes which perhaps fore
shadow an increasing strictness in breed
ing along Morgan blood lines are the
Morgan Horse clubs classes, in which
special pedigree is required. One of
these classes is open to stations and one
to mares and geldings. 1t is stipulated
that the sire, dam, grandsires and
grandams of each entry must be by
registered Morgan horses. A moments
reflection will show how closely the lines
are thus drawn. The requirements are
far more rigid than anything in the rules
of the Morgan Register.
Among the important breeding classes
are the prizes offered jointly by w. P.
Hardenbergh of Bernardsville, N. j.,
and l.. R. Lemoine of Philadelphia for
Morgan stallion and three 1912 foals of
his get; the Montpelier Morning Jour-
nails prize for Morgan mare with two
of her offspring; the prize of Allen M.
Fletcher of Cavendish. Vt, for a stall
lion with four of his get conforming
most truly to the ancient Morgan type"
and the States specials for Morgan
herds and for all Morgan under three
years of age.
The largest prize of all is the cup and
purses offered by c. C. Stillman of New
York for Morgan brood mares and 1912
foals. Mr. Stillman is offering it for the
fourth consecutive year. 1t has been
won in the past by j. c. Brunk of Spring
field, ILL.,, by Mountain View Farm of
East Burke, Vt, and by A. E. ellison of
Hartland, Vt. Like most of the special
prizes it calls for the old type of Nor
gan, which is generally regarded as best
illustrated by the noted Hale's Green
Mountain Morgan.

butter does not tempt the appetite as
does butter which has a firm. waxy
body
The softness of the butter fat Is due
to high per cent Of olein in the fat
and not to the presence of moisture. as
some might suppose. Olein has a very
low melting point as compared with
the other glycerids Of fat found in but
ter fat The per cent of oleln varies
with the individuality and breed Of the
cows and the feed which they receive.
The time of the lactadOn period also
affects the per cent Of olein. When
the cows 60 on grass In the spring
there is a high per cent Of olein, caus-
ing the butter fat to become soft at a
comparatively low temperature.
The question Is sometimes asked as
to what temperature cream should be-
churned at in order to obtain a firm
body In the butter. This question can
not be answered directly, as the hard
ness or softness of the fat varies with
the above mentioned factors. An ac-
curate thermometer should be used,
and a trial churning at a certain tenn
perature should guide the buttermaker
for the succeeding churning II the
butter comes soft lower churning
temperature should be employed the
next time. A good rule to follow is to
bring the temperature of the cream
down so as to have the butter come in
granules the size of wheat kernels.
When butter Is too soft it comes in
6aky instead of granular condition.
In order to secure a fine. waxy body
in the butter great care should be
taken not to overchurn. This also APP
plies to the washing of the butter after
the buttermilk has been removed Ex-
cessive churning either in the butter
milk or in the wash water Is liable to
produce a weak bodied butter. The
glass In the churn should be watched
carefully. and as soon as the granules
have reached the desired size the but.
termilk should be drawn Off. In wash.
ing the butter six or eight revolutions
of the churn are sufficient.
The butter Should not be allowed to
become soft during the washing and
working process if the best body is de-
sired The wash water should be the
same temperature or few degrees
lower than the cream before churning.
The butter should De worked In cool
room and should be worked only
enough to dissolve and distribute the
salt. 1t should not be allowed to be-
come soft after 1t has been made so as
to go on the market or to the consumer

Advice to Boys and Girls

Save your pennies and send them to
the Hyde Park Savings Bank.
That Bank receives either pennies,
dimes or dollars.
Why?
Because it wishes to encourage the
children to be frugal and to have little
bank account of their own, even though
the initial deposit is the smallest possible
sum.
Children who commence an account
on a penny, nickel, or dime. often
grow into capitalists later on.
The way to become capitalist is to
commence now to save the pennies.

farmer who lives in section where II
has seemed to be accepted that alfalfa

Of an exceptionally dry summer, this
patch yielded at the rate Of four tons
per acre when nearby clover meadows
were not producing half ton. The first
cutting this season was made some ten

how can a fellow get started" Get
ting a start in alfalfa is not difficult
undertaking If conditions are right. but
1t is well to start with a small patch,
say five acres. First the piece Of land
selected should be we'll drained, have
porous rather than an impervious sub
soil and be sweet rather than sour
that is. in need of lime.
For the latitude of the northern
states q piece from which early oats
or rye has Just been taken will do
well. This should be plowed to a good
depth as soon as possible, top dressed
with eight or nine tons of barnyard
manure If fine; otherwise it should
be spread before the blowing is done
The field thus prepared should be
disked thoroughly. and at Intervals OF
about ten days 1t should be disked
lightly until the first or second week
in August This will put the soil In
fine filth and kill no end of weeds,
which are one of the chief obstacles
to growing alfalfa in humid sections,
If it can be had, soil from an alfalfa
field or q small quantity of manure
from stock that has been fed alfalfa
should be applied before the last disk
ing for the purpose of inoculating the
soil. In case neither of these sources
of nitrogen fixing bacteria is availa-

clover is growing will answer the pur

be seeded If the weather is very dry
1t Is best to use a disk drill. sowing
the seed to the depth of about two
inches. II the soil contains abundant
moisture the seed may be broadcasted-
In either case it is we'll to go over the
field both ways to insure an even
stand. From eighteen to twenty
pounds should be used per acre. If
conditions are at all favorable the
legume will make a nice growth by
late fall. and this should be allowed to
remain on the ground to serve as a
catch for the snow.
