little buttermilk is stirred In. In the
winter it usually requires about "a
hours for the cream to ripen after the
jar is full.
The cream is stirred frequently.
This helps the ripening process. Fresh
milk added to the cream also helps.
The sooner the cream is churned
after it is thick, the better, for if it
sits too long ii will get too sour. This
is sometimes the cause of the specks
and also the peculiar flavor found in
butter
Scalding the cream Will also cause
trouble, sometimes. However it should
be kept above freezing always. We
keep our cream jars near the kitchen
range when the weather is very cold.
A wonderful Holstein, Daisy Grace
DeKol, of Maplecrest farm at Kala-
mazoo, Mich, is shown in the illus
tration. This COW has produced more
butter in seven days than any other
COW of her age, the official record be-
| ing $3.50 pounds. In 90 days she pro-
duced 352.87 pounds. 1t costs no more
to feed COW of this character than a
scrub.

pie, by the Bosses-Platform Gave

and dinner, shook hands steadily for

ment which he made in his New York
speech few days before, that Presi-
dent Taft had declared in favor of a
government "by a representative part
of the people.
SIN its actual workings Colonel
Roosevelt said, "the president s scheme
would be a government of the people,
for che people, by the BOSSES"

Roosevelt spoke here was occupied by
about 80 persons. AS Colonel Roose-

it gave way with a crash. The middle
portion sank to the floor. Colonel
Roosevelt quickly stepped to the front
of the structure, which did not give
way, and waved his hand at the crowd
to show that he was uninjured.
When Walter II. Brown, president OF
teh Roosevelt committee of Maine, in
troduced the colonel, there was an
outburst of handclapping. Colone
Roosevelt's opening remarks, in which
he referred to the collapse of the plat
form, brought laugh.
''The people IS platform won't break
down. he said. Gin the end the
servants of the people will have tC

HITS ARMY OFFICERS
Col. Roosevelt Criticises Ac-

FAULT OF THE SYSTEM
Lack Of Preparation Given as Main
Reason.
HISTORICAL SOCIETY ADDRESS
Ex-President Is of Opinion That Ar
bitration Idea Is Being Car
ried Too Far.

BOSTON. December 2S-"If ever
should have occasion to write about the
Spanish war; should have to write very
harshly of the high officers of the army
and navy" declared former President
Theodore Roosevelt today before the
Military Historical Society of Massachu-
setts.
THE defects of the army men were
more obvious than those of the naval
officers. The fault, however was not
theirs he added, 'it was the fault of
the system. which for thirty years had
resulted in no adequate preparation for
wars. The brigade commanders in our
army in Cuba had never seen brigade
in service since the civil war and then
they were captains and lieutenants.

who served in Cuba were excellent"

scribed by Col. Roosevelt as "high-mind-
ed, estimable gentlemen, but utterly
unable to understand the conditions Of
modern warfare" One complained to
him, he declared, tndt his uSpditH
was running all right until the war came
along" Another, he said, told him to use
black powder, because the smoke Will
hide your men,.
There Is put one way to maintain
peace" continued the colonel, and that
is by keeping our army and navy in such
a state or preparation that there would
be no temptation on the part OF some one
else to go to war with us.
Principle of Arbitration.
The principle of arbitration was being
carried too far, he thought, and was
causing too little attention to be paid to
needed preparations for war.
IF you teach a soldier that he can ar
bitrate a slap in the face, he won't fight,
said the colonel. And likewise, IL you
teach a nation to arbitrate matter OF
vital interest to it, it won't fight.
Il doubt IL in this country there is a
more genuine advocate Of peace than l
am. II there is war. 1 go to:tt, and my
sons will go; so / have. perhaps. as much
al stake as any one. But l know my
countrymen They will go to war at
the drop of the hat II their national honor
