DIFFICULTY cHuRNlNG.

At this season of the year the
Experiment Station receives large
number of inquiries In regard to the
difficulty of churning cream into
butter. The inquirers complain that
they churn their cream for a con.
siderable period OF time but that
the butter will not come"
This difficulty may be due to sew.
'eral reasons, which may be enum.
Grated as follows:
AT this time Of the year and par
ticularly little earlier than this
there is no green feed which may
be fed to the cows, except silage
The dry feed causes the butter fat
TO assume hard, white condition.
The fat occurs in the cream in the
form of little globules or balls. II
is necessary that these little glo-
bules shall stick together in large
masses to form particles of butter.
When tho cows are on dry feed
these little PARTICLES become hard
and will not stick together. A ra-
ton composed OF corn meal, cotton
seed meal, corn slower and dry hay
is particularly calculated to cause
o hard condition of the fat. Silage
will help to some extent in reduc-
Ing the hardness. Linseed meal al
so tends to cause softer fat.
When the cows get on grass In
the spring the difficulty of churn-
ing is soon eliminated because the
green grass softens the fat.
One OF the most frequent causes
OF long churning Is thinness OF
the cream. The cream should be
rich In order that the globuls may
be brought close together and the
butter gathered readily. In the sum
mer the cream may frequently be
churned at a temperature of 5S de,
grees f.. but In the winter we find
at the Experiment Station that 1t
Is necessary TO churn the cream at
a temperature OF about 62 degrees.
A higher temperature serves to sof-
ten the fat and causes 1t TO churn
more quickly. Thirty per cent cream
which has been carefully held at
temperature OF 70 degrees FOR

The total property loss in Hunt
ington as result of the flood which
has had the greater portion of the
city in its destructive grasp since
Saturday, will reach nearly mil
lion dollars, according to a conserva-
tive estimate made by Mayor Floyd
B. Chapman.
The water has invaded a large
area of the residence section lying
near the Chesapeake & Ohio rail-
way and in the extreme eastern and
western ends of the city.
Williamson has about recovered
from the effects of the flood in the
Ohio valley and it is expected that
normal conditions will soon prevail

For my own part hold the Chagres
river a much tnaligned stream. Pr
rates, pioneers, prospectors and even
poets have taken their fling at It, but
the fact remains that but for Il we
should not have the canal-at least
according to the American plan. The
French looked on it with apprehen-
sion, filed with dread OF Its sudden
floods and propensity to bring down
great masses Of silt and deposit them
precisely where they would do the
most harm. Accordingly they planned
its Punishment by damming 1t high
up in the neighborhood of Alhajuela,
some miles beyond the boundaries of
the Canal zone, from which point they
intended to divert its channel through
a ten-mile tunnel under the Cordil-
leras and thereby lead the erring
stream to the Pacific instead of the
Atlantic, into which 1t at present
flows.
The Americans approached the Cha
gres differently. When their survey
was completed they found that the
river crossed the line OF the canal
some twenty-six times between Gatun
and Gamboa, distance in a straight
line OF about fifteen miles. Manifestly
no self-respecting canal would submit
to being thus crossed. Adopting the
principles of politics, the engineers
turned the enemy'into helpful friend.
A great dam at Gatun has turned the
narrow rushing stream into a lake
with an area of 1874 square miles. Into
every depression of the land, in all
directions. the water has backed, or
Will back when the great flood gates
are closed down and the basin allowed
to fill. Native villages and isolated
huts now clinging to the borders Of
the river Will be submerged and their
inhabitants driven to the new lake
shores For what they are losing
they are being duly, even literally,
paid, though much of what. should go
to them is taken by pettifogging law
yers whose services are wholly use
less, but who have persuaded the ma
tives that they are indispensable. Con-
siderable villages. like Gorgona with
ia population of 3,444, will be partly
submerged and wholly abandoned, to
be overgrown by the jungle.
Through this lake the canal is
dredged, as a channel is dredged in
New York harbor or through the ST.
Clair flats above Detroit The friendly
waters Of the reformed Chagres form
an inl2nd sea. vastly expediting the
work Of the canal builders. This sea
is blocked at the one end by the dam
and locks at Gatun, lest it rush into
the Atlantic, and at the other by the
locks at Pedro Miguel. lest it dash
into the Pacific ocean. The actual sea
level sections of the canal extend over
but fifteen of the fifty miles in length.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1913-11-15

The rest Is filed by the Chagres
which thus makes the canal possible
The Chagres is entered from the
Atlantic ocean at San Lorenzo, a point
some fifteen miles up the coast from
Colon. On a crag at the entrance
stand the ruins of an old fort, occupy
ing the site OF an earlier work which
was built in 1901. The river mouth
was a.place OF battle between Indians
Spaniards and Englishmen long be-
fore our ruined Jamestown or ancient
Plymouth were founded. It was the
Atlantic landing place for expeditions
bound for old Panama. Through 1!
Pizarro passed to his lustful, bloody
and plratical raids upon Peru. Earlier
still Balboa entered there to brave the
isthmian perils in his search for the
Pacific. In later years it was the
highway for the forty-niners bound
for the golden sands of California.
The first San Lorenzo fell before the
assault of Sir Henry Morgan. The
second, the ruins OF which still stand.
was abandoned only about 100 years
ago.
At the base OF the hill on which the
fort stands is the village of Chagres, a
cluster Of about twenty native houses
surrounding frame church, with but
one store visible and that a primitive
saloon in which the modern beer and
lwhiskey signs contrast curiously with
the matched roof and earthen floor.
In the days of the gold rush the vii
lage is said to have housed as many
! as 1000 travellers of a night-in which
case the starry dome of heaven must
have been the roof for most Of them.
Ascending the river toward Gatun
one passes through a primitive tropi-
cal jungle. This part of the stream
has been untouched by the canal
builders and nothing in future is like
| ly to disturb its primeval simplicity,
as the canal diverts traffic far away
from it toward Colon. Natives pad
ding their cayucos-slim canoes
hewn or burned out OF single trunk
-herons, white and blue, ducks and
cormorants, and, once in a while, an
alligator are the only signs OF life
The tropical thicket which borders
either bank is too dense for any save
creeping lhlhss W come uOWH u llc
water, and though we are told OF deer.
ant-bears, iagdars, boa-constrictors
and other animals, we see none.
Along the upper Chagres are lines
of photographic stations at which the
stage of the water is recorded several
times daily and telephoned to the
office at the dam. The stream has a
habit OF sometimes rising forty feet
in a few hours and the watchers at
the Spillway must be prepared to
meet the emergency lest the canal it
self be swamped under an uncon-
trollable tide.

RECENT RECRUIT
To Suffraget Militancy is the
Paris Exile Who is Conduct :
ing British Campaign.
o. AseeelAIEp PREssl

LONDON, Nov. 15-Miss Christa-
bel Pankhurst, who directs, from
her exile in Paris, the campaign OF
the militant suffragets in England, Is
after all only a recent recruit TO
militancy, as time is measured in
politics in England. Somebody has
been turning, up speeches made BIS
Miss Papkhurst no longer ago than
1905, and it is found she ranged
herself then against the advocates Of
militancy. It was at a conference Of
the Independent Labor party, ut
which Miss Pankhurst was a dele
gate, and resolution had been
brought forward extending sym
pathy to the citizens of East Ham in
their refusal to administer the edu-
cation act on account of the unfair
Incidence OF the rate" There were
speeches for and against the reso-
Tuition and then Miss Pankhurst,
while in sympathy with the resolu-
ton, was of the opinion that II
would be safer to use constitutions
means"
The latest step in the new cam
paign which the non militant suffra'
gets will wage this winter in the
British Isles, is the FORMATION Of an
alliance with the Church of England
The new alliance starts work with
the blessings of six bishops, and ef-
forts will be made to get formal
pronouncement from the church OF
its attitude towards the question OF
equal suffrcge.

MYSTERY
In Connected with the Where.
aboutS of Famous Work of
Noted French Painter.
cay AssoerATED rarsS

PARTS, Nov. 15-iOne of the most
famous works OF the great French
painter. Jacques David, has been
missing for nearly a hundred years,
and the problem of its whereabouts
is an artistic mystery which has ap-
pealed to the imagination of many
we'll known members of the Paris
art world. The picture IS now be-
lieved to have been traced to the old
chateau OF Saint-Fargeau, in the
Nfeyres. According to this story
the painting was placed in an oak
box and sealed up in one of the cha
teau's walls. But not even. the
present owner OF the chateau, N. An
nison du Perron, has the slightest
clue to just where it may be.
The picture represents Michel
Lepeletier, Count Saint Fargeau, as
he lay on the pedestal of the statue
of Louis XVI, the day before the eX-
ecution OF that doomed monarch.
Saint Fargeau was royalist deputy
to the States General, but afterwards
went over to the revolution and
voted the death OF Louis XVI. He
was assassinated the day before
Louis XVI's execution by royalist
man-at-arms. Saint Fargeau's dead
body, nude, and covered with gar
lands of oak leaves, was exposed for
-four days on the pedestal from which
the statue of Louis XVI had been
thrown down.
The picture was originally placed
in the Hall of Debates of the Con.
venticn. 1t was given back to the
artist after the Terror and is be
lieved to have later passed through
the hands OF NJ. Dayids son u on
of the heirs of Saint Fargeau, Il.
Marquise Of Mortfontaine. Tao
Marquise, according to the story
signed an agreement not TO destroy
the picture. She had, however, re
manned faithful to the royalst
cause, and to hide the pc are from
her revolutionary father she con
cealed it is described, in the wall o.
the chateau and died without reveal
ling its whereabouts.
