the cream at once after separating,
either by running it over a. cooler,
or by setting in running cold water
and stirring. Cream should not be
stored with any substance having
an aroma.
Sweet cream churns hard and
gives butter having a fiat taste. To
sour or ripen the cream, first heat
it to about 700 F. use thermom-
eter) and let it stand until it has a
mild, but distinctly acid taste; or,
second, add some sour milk or but
termilk (starter) to start the ripen-
ing, at the same time holding it at
700. The best cream for churning
is that which tests about thirty
per cent fat after the starter has
been added.
The temperature at which the
cream should be churned depends
on size of fat globules,, hardness of
fat globules, age of cream, amount
of cream, percentage of fatin cream
kind of feed COW is getting, and
this can not be determined except
by trial. Thirty-five degrees may
be proper on one farm and 600 on
the one adjoining. A good rule to
follow is to have the butter come
about the size of wheat kernels in
about thirty to forty minutes. If
it comes sooner than thirty minutes
the temperature is too high.
While the granules are about the
size of wheat, the buttermilk should
be drained, the granules washed
and the salt added. Then they are
worked together, only enough to
distribute the salt evenly. When
the churn is not stopped until the
granules become large, some of the
buttermilk is encased and it makes
butter of poor keeping quality.
Notifies in butter are caused by
an uneven distribution of salt in
the presence of buttermilk.

PiC-NiCed at Whites Mill.

A merry party of the younger SET
pic-niced at Whites Mill, Scotland
Neck's famous resort, Wednesday
of last week, under command of
Charlie Elliott Steptoe (the only
'step") as master of ceremonies.
They had a gay time from early
morn until late in the afternoon,
when the storm forced them to
break camp and return home.
1t was a great occasion, and the
bountiful dinner prepared by the
young ladies attending was more
than tempting, and was served in
the most genuinely picnic style.
The master" was ably assisted by
Mrs. Percy johnson and Misses Mary
White, Helen Hilliard and Hattie

A Delightful Social Event.

Reported for The Commonwealth
The most delightful of the sun;
mer's social events was the Jun.
Party given by the San Souci Clul
last Thursday evening at the beauti
full home of Mr.. and Mrs. r. F.
Coleman in North GAINESVILLE. The
joy seekers began to pour in about
nine O'Clock and by ten the entire
throng was seated around Rock ta-
bles where they found entertain
ment in the popular game until
Professor Sock Jones drove up with
his orchestra. The tables were then
pushed aside and the light fantas-
tic was trod" till the refreshments
were served, which consisted of
dainty nuts, and bricks of cream,
which carried out the color scheme
of the club, old gold and purple.
After the refreshments each young
swain betook himself and his pro-
spective better-half to some remote
corner, where only the "Old Moon"
looked on and listened to the sweet
nothings, that were doubtless being
whispered into the eager ears of
Gwendolyn, Madge, Ruth, and the
rest Of those adorable daughters of
Eve present.
The hour of twelve came only too
soon, for there were many who
would have been tickled to remain
in the shadows of this hospitable
home till "Chanticleer," with his
shrill Cuckoo" pierced the stillnes
of the cold gray dawn.
1t was with the greatest of reluc-
lance that each couple departed,
but even in this, they found pleasure
in unanimously declaring their host
ess one to be long remembered in
the royal reception which she tend
cred to each individual present.
Those present were: Charlie Step
toe with Miss Dorothy Pierce, of
York City, Mills Kitchin with Miss
Gwendolyn Grasstalk, of Paducah,
