on the part Of the producer, good

more than compensate him for the
additional trouble. Clean, well-hayor-
ed milk is the first essential. This
can come only from clean COWS prop
erlv fed. housed in clean surround
ings and milked under clean condi-
tions.
second-The cream separator must
be clean Every time it is used II
should be thoroughly washed and
sterilized. Any particles of milk or
cream left in the separator act as a
starter and hasten the souring OF the
cream.
Third-For the best results there
should be from 30 TO 33 per cent of
butter fat in the cream delivered TO
the creamery. Thick cream keeps
sweet more easily and is in better
form for the butter maker to handle.
Incidentally there Is more skim milk
left on the farm for feeding purposes.
Fourth-The cream should be held
at a temperature of so degrees F. or
lower. Cream above so degrees f.
sours very readily The addition OF
warm. fresh cream to cold cream
warns the whole mass and thus
facilitates souring. For this reason
the newly separate cream should
always be cooled before being added
to the stock on hand
Fifth-Cream should be delivered
at least twice a week in the winter
and three times in the summer. Dur
ing the process of delivery the cans
should be protected from the sun in
hot weather, and while waiting fol
delivery the cream should be KEPT
in a clean, well-ventilated place free

THINK FIRST OF AMERICA
SAYS PRES. WILSON

1t is one thing to love the
place where you were born, and
it is another thing to. dedicate
yourself to America unless you
become in every respect and
with every purpose Of your will
thorough Americans.
You cannot become thorough
Americans If you think Of your
selves in a group. America
does not consist Of groups. A
man who thinks of himself as
belonging to a particular ma
tional group in America has
not yet become an American.
My urgent advice to you
would be not only always to
think first Of America, but al
ways also think first of humanity
You do not love humanity if you
seek to- divide humanity into
jealous camps. Humanity can
be welded together only by love,
by sympathy, by justice, not by
jealousy and hatred.
l am sorry for the man who
seeks to make personal capital
out of the passions Of his Cell
ow men. He has lost the touch
and ideal Of America, for Ameri-
ca was created to unite mankind
by those passions which lift
and not by passions which
separate and debase.
1t was but an historical acct
dent no doubt that this great
country was called "The United
States" and yet l am very
thankful that it has the word
united" in it's title, and the
man who seeks to- divide man
from man, group from group,
interest from interest in the
United States, is striking at
its very heart.

Monday Thos. Mccain, of
Washburn, had occasion to motor
over into the vicinity Of Yucca,
and at that point Whitmer's
teams had been yanking autos
out Of Square Buttee Greek all
day, but that was behind the
store.
When Mr.. Mccain inquired at
the store if it was safe to cross
the creek with a machine Of
course the clerk told him that bi
machines had been crossing
there all day.
Sure! Mr.. McCann could 60
with a Ford across any burned
creek that could be crossed with
those big machines, and in he
went.
