Some Forms of rheumatism Durable
Rheumatism is a disease character
lied by pains in the joints and in the
muscles. The most common forms are
Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, Rheu-
matte Headaches. Sciatic Rheumatism
and Lumbago. All Of these types can
be helped absolutely by applying some
good liniment that penetrates. An ap-
plication of Sloan's liniment two or
three times a day to the affected part
will give instant relief. Sloan's lini-
ment is good for pain, and especially
Rheumatic pain, because it penetrates
to the seat Of the trouble, soothes the
afflicted part and draws the pain.

ESSENTIALS FOR BUTTERMAKING ON THE FARM
w. S. C. DAIRY SPECIALIST GIVES SUGGESTIONS TO RURAL
BUTTERMAkERS

The right temperature for churning
varies with conditions. Sour cream,
very rich cream, and cream whose
globules are soft require a low churn-
ing temperature, especially in hot
weather. These conditions usually
obtain in the summer when the cows
are on green feed and in the early
stage of lactation. Sweet cream, thin
cream, cream whose globules are hard,
and cold weather require a high
churning temperature. These condi-
lions usually obtain in the winter
when the COWS are on dry feed and
in advanced stages of lactation. The
churning temperature may vary,
therefore, from 55 in summer to 65 in
winter. Too high a churning temper
ature causes butter to form in soft
Jumps. Too low temperature makes
brittle butter. Under the right con-
ditions, butter in granules ranging in
size from wheat kernel to pea
should form after 80 to 40 minutes of
churning. Stop churning then.
Discussing the question of washing
the butter, the bulletin explains that
this is done to remove surplus butter
milk and incorporate more or less wa
ter with the butter. The necessary
water in butter, together with salt and
curd, go to make the "overrun." With
three per cent SALT one per cent curd,
and the maximum amount of water
allowed-which is 16%o-the butter

The members Of the committee dis
cussed informally the benefits which
have accrued from the governments
military camps and urged the continual
ton of the work on broader lines to in
crease the student enrolment. AS a
result 1t is expected that the govern
ment will establish more of these train
ing camps next year for students and
business men.
The committee was formed three
years ago at the suggestion of Major
General Wood, who asked the heads of
various institutions to aid in the devel-
opment of the summer training camps
of college students.
The first camps were established In
the summer of 1913 at Gettysburg and
at the Preside. The course of instruc-
ton lasted five weeks. There were 300
students in attendance. In 1914 camps
were established at Burlington. VT;
Asheville, N. c.. and Ludington, Mich.
The number of students attending
jumped to 100. This year more than
1000 were enrolled, and an additional
camp was opened at Plattsburg.
"We regard this movement as In no
way militaristic,' said member of
the committee. Its object is to train
the students of our colleges and there
fore serve a useful purpose to the
country. The education which the stu
dents receive under officers of the army
is Of the greatest value to them and to
the nation, and we feel that the sum-
mer camps are agencies for good which
the universities should do their utmost
to encourage"

Six Weeks Session Devoted to
Practical Agriculture Opens

State College, Pullman, Washington.
On January 1, the newly established
Winter School for Farmers of Western
Washington will open at Puyallup, I'M
der the direction of Superintendent
w. A. Linklater, of the Western Wash
ington Experiment Station, continu-
ing for six weeks, and giving leading
emphasis to instruction in the phases
of practical farming of immediate in
terest to farmers of the western part
of Washington.
Phe work of the winter school will
consist partly of classroom work, in
Guiding lessons from texts, assigned
readings in the library, and lectures;
and, also, laboratory work in which
the students will put into practice the
lessons given them. Entrance re-
quirements are described by Superin-
tendent Linklater as "a seriousness of
purposes, with ability to read and

"If the farmer who has control of
all processes from the time the milk
is produced until butter is made un-
derstands buttermaking, he can pro-
duoe a better grade of butter than can
be made in a creamery"
The above declaration is made by
Popular Bulletin So lately issued by
the Washington Experiment Station.
Asserting that butter of best creamery
grade can be made on the farm, the
bulletin nevertheless admits that I'M
der present conditions, the best but
ter rarely comes from the farm.
The new Washington publication Is
written by Professors A. B. Nystrom
and R. &. Hundertmark. 1t deals with
specific problems of buttermaking on
the farm. Several essentials for good
farm butter are named, among which
are a satisfactory supply Of clean milk
from healthy, properly fed COWS; prop
erly performed separating, ripening,
churning, washing, working, sailing,
and coloring.
The milk should be separated imme-
diately after milking at temperature
of about 80 degrees F. If kept during
the day, 1t should be Immediately cool
ed to 55 degrees or lower. Warm it
to 80 for separating. Cream Of me-
dunn richness is better for churning
than very rich, or thin. cream.
Ripening should be done at tenn
perature of from 70 to 75 degrees,
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1915-12-10

which temperature promotes the de-
velopment of desirable Tactic bacteria.
Keep the cream cold till you are ready
to ripen it, and never pour warm
cream into cold cream. II ripening
does not take place properly, it is a
help to use starter" This consists
of active Tactic bacteria usually in a
milk medium, and is used in the pro-
portion of 10 to 20 per cent of the
whole amount of cream to be ripened.
If cream has an "off" flavor, or tenn
perature is low, use 20 per cent. If
normal conditions obtain, ten per cent
is sufficient. A glossy appearance of
the cream when stirred and a mild,
pleasantly acid taste indicate about
the right condition for churning. Spe-
cific directions for the making of a
starter are here cited from the bulle-
tin:
Select pure milk produced under
sanitary conditions, and divide 1t into
a number of sterile bottles. Set the
bottles away, and keep them at a
temperature Of 70 degrees, until the
milk thickeas. AS soon as the milk
thickens, 1t is ready to use, the Tactic
bacteria at that time being most ac-
tive and the flavor best. When ready
TO use the starter, inoculate with the
mother starter, large can full of
scalded and cooled SKINNED milk. Set
this aside to ripen at temperature
of So to 70. When the skinned milk
is thickened, or 'clsbbered,' 1t is ready
to pour into the cream. The latter
should be, for best results, compare
lively fresh from the separator. Skim
milk for a starter should be heated
TO ITO degrees F for about 20 minutes;
then cooled to 70 before adding
small amount of the mother starter"

write intelligently and to work ordin-
airy problems in arithmetic" All
courses are open to anyone above the
age of 16, who desires to take advan-
tage of the opportunities offered by
the Winter School.
Among the subjects which will be
taught are fruit-growing, vegetable
gardening, the control of plant pests,
ornamentation of the home grounds,
livestock industry, including meat pro-
duction and dairying, the cure and
prevention of diseases of farm ami.
mails, and other things of similar in
terest. A thorough study will be made
of western Washington soils and farm
crops. This division of study will in
clude the methods of handling differ
ent types of soil to improve their pro-
ducing power; fertilizers, including
artificial fertilizers, lime, barnyard
manure and green crops; field crops
adapted to western Washington, soil
preferences of plants, and a wide
range of similar instruction dealing
with existing problems.
The poultry course differs from the
work above described in that en-
phasis is placed upon the practice
work" Those enrolled in the poultry
courses will devote the greater part
of their time to actual work with the
poultry in the poultry buildings of the
Puyallup Experiment Station, receiv-
ing, in addition, two classroom lessons
per day. The practicework and class
work is planned to include thirty les
sons in poultry management

maker is able to make 100 pounds of
butter from 80 pounds of fat; that is,
in one hundred pounds, there are 3
16 pounds of water mixed in 80 pounds
Of butterfat. Under normal conditions,
one washing will take off all the but
termilk, but if the first wash water
comes off white, a second washing
should be given. If the butter comes
soft, it may be hardened or firmed by
washing it in water two to four de-
grees colder than the buttermilk. Re-
verse the process if the butter comes
hard, or brittle Disagreeable odors
and flavors may in a measure be re-
moved by washing, but too much wash
ing "flattens" the flavor of the butter.
Never touch butter with the hands at
any stage OF the ALTERNATING. Should
it be put ON the market, its STABILITY
will be increased by neat, attractive
packages. Concluding, the new Wash
ington publication gives precautionary
measures for the observance of farm
butter-makers:
Never mix warm cream with cool
cream; mix all the cream to be churn-
ed in one vat or can, at least Is hours
before churning; ripen at tempera-
ture of 70 to rs degrees F. for six to
eight hours, stirring frequently; cool
the cream to churning temperature
So to Gas soon as 1t is ripe; let the
cream stand eight hours or more, say,
over night, at churning temperature,
before churning; draw off the butter
milk when the butter granules vary in
size from pea to wheat kernel; add
salt wet while butter is in granular
form; work it just enough to distrib-
ute the salt evenly.
