Thin Cream Does Not Pay.

Creamery patrons in this state
have been quite generally separating
a thin cream, many creameries re-
ceiving cream testing below 70 per
cent butter fat. This practice is be-
ing discontinued by many da1rymen
who are finding that it pays them
better to separate cream testing ~
to 35 per cent in butter fat.
The buttermaker receiving tnln
cream is working at a disadvantage
in several ways. First, he must have
larger watts in which to temper and
ripen the cream, second, more steam
is required to heat the cream in win
ter and more ice is needed to cool
properly in summer. Third, more
butter fat is lost in churning on ac-
count of the increased amount OF
buttermilk. This is one of the leaks
in creamery operation that keep
down the overrun and cut the price
of butter fat, thus resulting in d.
rect loss to the patrons of the cream
cry. Fourth, finer butter can be
made of the richer cream.
The dairyman is also placing him
self at a disadvantage by separating
a thin cream. First, the farmer has
a larger quantity of cream to cool
and to keep in good condition. Sec
ond. he has more cream to haul to
the creamery but not a pound more

Bones Found in Ruins or barn
Probably Set the Fire Them
selves.
The farm buildings of w. H. Tux
bury at West Newbury were des-
troyed by fire Sunday forenoon, the
18th. Mr.. and Mrs. Tuxbury were
at church. Their son and wife with
their three children and the hired
man were at home. 1t is supposed
that the two oldest children, aged
five and three, were playing with
matches in one of the barns, as the
fire was under full Roadway when
discovered, and the bones of both
children were found when the ire
had gone down.
The house which was a large one
and comparatively new, large barn
and two smaller ones, with other out
buildings were burned. This is the
farm on which the late John Smith,
well known in Caledonia county, who
married Miss Abbie Stuart of Bar
net lived. 1t was owned by the
Smith family, father, son and grand
son, for 100 years.

butter fat. Third, he has less skim
milk to keep at home and must make
1t ND by hauling from the creamery
a larger amount of buttermilk.
Fourth, he is not able to keep his
cream as well under the same con-
ditions, because thin cream will sour
more quickly than cream rich in but
terfat. Creamery patrons should at
this time set their separator cream
screw so that it will separate cream
testing 80 to 35 per cent butterfat
which will be more profitable and
give butter results, both for patron
and creamery.

FIRE AT WHEELOCK
The Ames Store Burned-A Mystery
About the Cause.

Just four weeks to a day after
the burning of the S. A. Buck build
ing at Wheelock the little village
was visited by another mysterious
fire. This time the store of Charles
w. Ames was entirely destroyed with
all it's contents. Mr.. Ames had Just
sold the store to Carl Ball and was
planning to work for Mr.. Ball. On
Monday the inventory was being tax
en- but no papers had been made. Mr..
Ames was at Lyndonville that eve
ming and at 1920 fire was discoV-
cred at the rear of the building over
hanging the river. No cause is as
signed for it is impossible to i'm
agine how the fire could have caught
in that place. Mr.. Ames opened the
door and tried to get out his books
but was successful in getting only
two or three. The loss is estimated
at about $4,000.

OWNER ADMITS TAKING MONEY
 FROM MANAGER

Cleveland, O., June 24-The row between Joe Birmingham, deposed manager, and c. w. Somers5 owner of the Indians, promises to be real spicy. Birming gham is quoted as saying that he went to Sonners last fall and vol untarily loaned him $1O,0O0
 f+Birmin gham did loan me $10,0oo,' acknowledged Somers late yesterday, ''but he did so\ because he wanted 6 per cent. for his money instead of 4, as the bank was paying"
 Birmingham was in consultation with his attorney yesterday relative to starting a, suit against Somers for the recovery of salary for the balance of 1915 and for all of 1916. Tuesday Birmingham received a note from Somers instructing him to stay away from the club house and also not to practice withl the club in it's morning workouts.

QUIMBY TO QUIT
 YALE COACH JOB

New Haven, June 24.-YaIe grad- uates are much concerned over the baseball situation and it is reported that Frank Quinby is to retire as coach. MiIburn, the second base man, is reported to be slated for next season g. fcaptaincy and it is understood he will exert his influence to have Bernie Tommers appointed as coach Tommers coached the varsity pitch CTS this season and also the freshman team.
 No one questions ouinby's ability as a coach and it is said that the trouble has been that his directions were not followed. Yale certainly had good material this season but there has been a weakness in running the game. Captain Mtdd1ebrook Is said to have acted contrary to the coach's instructions in numerous in- stances and it is reported that QUin- by is not anxious to coach under the present conditions.
 The traditions at Yale give cap tain great power but it is not believed that any crew captain will override the directions of Guy Nickalls any more than Harvard captain would question the authority of F. D. Haughton.
 The bungling of the commencement game in this city made the Yale fana weep and since then there has been a great deal of adverse comment upon the way the team has been managed on the field.

GREAT CATCH BY CRAvATH PREVENTS
 GIANTS' VICTORY

New York, June 24.-It took the Gi- ants and Phil1ies eleven more innings to arrive at a final decision over a question of pitching supremacy which has been raging at the Polo Grounds for two days now, Pat Moran being handed the verdict, 2 to 1, just before dark last night. And before the honor was gained each team had paraded six of the best mound talent to be had, George Chalmers and Erskine Mayer contributing to the work originally be- gun by Grover Cleveland Alexander Tuesday and by Jeff Tesreau and "PoI' Perritt taking up the burden of rebuttal left them by Rube'' Mar guard.
 Tesreau and Chalmers began the struggle of tWirlers, the first named lasting eight innings and Chalmers nine, each being taken out in a. stra- tegic move, when the resp pective man, agers of the teams figured a, pinch hit ter was more valuable than a shut out pitcher. During the stay of these two men just two runs were scored, one against Tesreau in the first inning and one against Calrners in the eighth. Mayer accepted the duty left by ChaI-
 ners with equal effectiveness. but Per rftt wavered and lost himself trying to withstand te furious pace offered by the others. Chalmers was just as brilliant as was Tesreau for six innings, blanlzing the Giants easily. In the seventh he weakened somewhat and was in in1rnf- nent danger of losing his game, when Cactus Cravath, running at full speed, saved the day with 8 one hand ed catch of Merlxle's short fly, that would have scored two men had it dropped safe Cravath grabbed the ball, retired the side and accepted the honor of being the most spectacular performer in the field.

The officials of the Chicago Nationals yesterday reitera- ted a strong denial of reports that Catcher Jimmy Archer and Outfi ieIder Frank Schulte are to be traded to the Cincinnati or New York team and came back with the statement that the story was manufactured out of whole cloth in order to disrupt the Cub team.
 Manager McGraw is said to be be- hind e-stories It has been the scheme of the Giants leader for many years to work in that way. For sey- eral seasons he has been trying to get Heinie Zimmerman dissatisfied with his job by publishing a story every time the Cubs visited New York that he was to be traded to the Giants. For some reason or another Heine- has never believed the reports.

 Manager StaIlings has opened nego- tiations with. Cincinnati. and if things pan out as the Braves leader hopes they will, Schneider and KilIifer will become members of the worlds cham pions and Magee will go to Cincin- nati.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

18O3-Jem Belcher, perhaps the greatest champion the ring has ever had, was blinded in one eye by a racket ball. This accident practical ly ended BeIcher's career, although he was then only twenty-two years old. Belcher fought and won his first ring battle when only 16 years old, defeating an experienced veteran, Jack Britton. In 1900, at the age of 19, BeIcher became charapion of Eng land by defeating Andrew Gamble, the great Ir1shman. On June 24, 1908, after he had defended his title against the best men in the country, Belcher was playing rackets on London court, when the marker, re- turning a, ball, threw it with such vio- lence that it almost tore one of Bel cher's eyes from it's socket.

New London, Conn, June 34- Word has been received that Jose phus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, will witness the YaIe-Earvard regat- ta on Friday. He will arrive in New London Harbor about 8 o'clock in the morning on the Government dispatch boat Dolphin.
 Although New London is fast hll- ing up with yachts and lovers of col 1ege rowing, the Yale and Harvard quarters were more nearly deserted yesterday than at any time since the arrival of the oarsmen in their train ing camps. Most of the alumni went to either Cambridge or New Haven for the commencement exercigeR Both coaches, Guy Nic4aI1s and Jim Wray, sent the rowing squad o4 the two universities through a stiff re- hearsal of racing starts. Yale stole a march on Harvard last year by get ting an unusually fast start, and both colleges are now keenly alive to the advantage of such an opening of the main race
 All the Yale crews rovved above the quarters, where the turn in the Thames hid them from the sight Of the Harvard camp.
