Buttermilk On
the Farm.

Of one thing we used to be alb
solutely sure before the advent
of the creamery, namely that we
could get real, good, old-fash-
toned buttermilk on the farm at
any time, buttermilk with little
specks of butter floating on top
of it and just the right degree Of
acidity; buttermilk that some
how went to the right spot. The
scientists have discovered lately
that buttermilk contains a germ
which eats up, utterly destroys
and completely wipes out the
malevolent bacteria which are
likely to prey on old people.
They have given it the name OF
Bulgaricus; we imagine because
in its force and energy it resem-
bles the Bulgarians!
Tuttermilk always was season
ably popular in the country; but
do our readers know that it is
now immensely popular in the
cityi We are told by 4 gentle
man who is supposed to know,
that you can scarcely 60 into a
first-class saloon anywhere and
not find buttermilk sold at five
cents a glass. This reminds us
that we discussed with this same
gentleman "a physician) some
forty years ago the problem of
temperance. We then took the
position that we would never get
rid of the saloon unless we had a
substitute to put in its place, and
then suggested that the best sub
stitute for liquor was buttermilk.
We learn also that it can be had
at almost every soda fountain,
and at lunching places.
So far so good; but we are
afraid that farmers are not using
buttermilk as they formerly did.
If buttermilk has the virtues
which physicians claim for it,
this may seriously tend to short
en- their lives. One reason why
they do not have buttermilk as
they did formerly is because far
mers are selling their milk to
the creameries and many of them
buying butter. Hence we fear
that the churning of butter,
which is necessary to secure the
right kind of buttermilk, is be-
coming a lost art on many farms.
We do not ask our readers to
churn, for the women folks have
to do that, and the boys; and we
do not have the most pleasant
remembrance of the up-and-dOwn,
old-fashioned churn we used,
such as we imagine Eve must
have invented shortly after she
and Adam were driven out of the
Garden of Eden.
We would like to suggest, how
ever, to our readers who sell
their milk, that with the skim
milk they bring back buttemilk.
In passing thru the country we
have often rushed to 4 creamery
to get a drink of buttermilk, but
have been previously disappOint-
ed. It did not taste like the
"rale old sort" Seriously, we
believe there is nothing more
healthful on the farm for old men
and old women, young men and
young women and the kids, than
good buttermilk as it comes from
the churu, where the cream is
NOT churned too sour and there Isl

It's easy enough to look pleasant
when you have all you want and
{ to spare, 10
It's easy to smile and be sunny when
you haven't grief or care,
But let's see that smiling continue
when the worn-out old shoes on
your feet
Are filling with slush as you shuttle
along, through the wind, and the
rain and the sleet.
It's really a cinch to be happy when
you reach in your pocket and feel
The cash that will bring you all COM
forts, and you know you can't
want for a meal,
But let's see that bright smile of JOY
that knows neither sorrow nor
tears,
When your landlady ties up your
wages for a board-bill three
months in arrears.
And it's not such a task to be merry
when yours well and as strong Is
a horse,
And you digest your feed like an os-
trich and no stuff that you eat
brings remorse,
But let's see your happiness linger
when Welsch rarebit has doubled
you up,
And you have to eat toast for your
breakfast and on toast you must
dine and must sup.
It's right much the same with a.!
people, they smile when the good
things come long,
And life seems just chock full of
sunshine and sweet as the mock
ing birds song,
But the smile and the song are both
absent and you don't want to
laugh or to shout,
When Fate has just hit you wallop,
and the referees counting you
out.

MANDATE CAUSES
EMBARRASSMENT.

When former President Roosevelt,
by an order issued from the White
House, directed that army and navy
men should take various kinds OF ath-
letic exercises, consisting Of bicycle
riding, horseback riding and Eong
hikes over the country, he caused a
great amount of surprise in service
circles; when President Taft, few
months ago, directed that something
like $4,000 fourth class postmasterS
located throughout the country should
be placed urder civil service rules, he,
likewise, caused the country to take
notice; but it has remained for Pres
ident Wilson to cause the biggest sur
prise of all by issuing his first execu-
tive order that patronage matters will
be discussed with congressman only
when the national lawmakers arg sent
for.
1t is probable that no otner order
that will be issued from the White
House during the four years that
President Wilson is there will cause
quite as much establishment among
Senators and House members, or so
much embarrassment, which,of course,
was not contemplated by the Prcsi
dent, as the PRONUNCIATION Of this or
der.
Already half a dozen Congressman
have visited the White House since the
order was issued, and have gone away
more or less embarrassed. They did
not believe that the President meant
to enforce the order literally, and they
desired. if possible, to ascertain wheth-
er it was not possible, in some diplo-
matte and tactful manner, to side
step the proposition.
They have found that the order was
issued to stick, after mature delibera-
ton for the best plan for dealing
with the troublesome patronage ques-
ton, and that at least until the Pres
ident becomes adjusted to his new po-
sition or finds it necessary to ask the
congressman to visit him, department
heads will be given full authority to
deal with the appointments coming
under them.
The practical effect of this order is
that many Congressmen who had pre-
viously promised their constituents
that they should be taken to the White
House as soon as the new President
came in and their cases laid before
= him if they were after positions. are
wondering what to do. Some have
written the place-huntcrs to whom The
promises have been made Of the stu.
alton, and have advised them that
under the circumstances patience mus!
be exercised, while . few have admit
ted that for the tims being they art
at their wits ends. 1t is an embar
RAISING situation, not only for the Cor
grcssmen. but for their constituent
also, and itzis not improbable that
modification of the order may be ask
ed within the near future.
