FOOD IN BELEAGUERED CITY
Paris Were Driven During the
Siege of 1870.

In letter by Henry Labouchere,
which is quoted by A. L. Thorold in
his life of the distinguished journal
list, he describes, not without char
acteristic touch Of humor, the ex-
tremes to which the inhabitants OF
Paris were driven during the siege
of 1870.
/ went to see what was going on in
the house Of friend of mine in the
Avenue de PImperatrice, who has left
Paris. The servant who was in
charge told me they had not been able
to obtain bread for three days, and
that the last time he had presented
his ticket, he had been given about
half an inch Of cheese.
"How do you live, them" I asked.
After looking mysteriously round to
see that no one was watching us, ne
took me down into the cellar and
pointed to some meat in barrel. 1t
is half horse" he said, in the tone
of a man who is showing someone
the corpse Of his murdered victim
"a neighboring coachman killed him,
and we sailed him down and divided
him." Then he opened closet in
which sat huge cat. II am fatten-
ing her up for Christmas; we mean
to serve her up surrounded with mice
like sausages."
On January 6, Labouchere notes:
Yesterday, I had slice of Pollux for
dinner. Castor and his brother Pollux
are two elephants that have been
killed. The meat was tough, coarse,
and oily, and I do not recommend
English families to eat elephant when
they can get beef or mutton. Many
of the restaurants are closed for lack
Of fuel. They use lamps, but even
French cooks when they are called
upon to cook an elephant with spirit
lamp, find the thing almost beyond
their ingenuity. Casters and Pollux's
trunks sold for 45 francs pound, the
other-parts of the interesting twins
fetched about ten francs a pound"
Not all the strange foods eaten dur
ing the siege were as unalluring. On
the subject of donkey, Labouchere
says: Donkey is Infinitely better
eating than beef or mutton; indeed, |
do not know any meat that is better.
Let anyone who doubts the excellence
of cold donkey slay one of these weak
| minded animals, cook him, and eat
him."

(By r. B. RUSHING.)
When speak of the care OF milk
and making of butter on the farm
speak from the standpoint of ordinary
farm conditions.
Experience has taught me that If
good, pure, healthful milk and butter
are expected the work must begin at
the base of the business-closer even
than the cow stable-pastures and
meadows must be free from noxious
weeds. The water supply must be
pure and plentiful.
If on dry feed, supply good clover
hay. Also good sweet ensilage. and
salt where cows can help themselves
at will, as they are very fond of a
change of diet.
Much less corn than is usually fed
should be given and no oats nor oat
straw if good results are expected.
The straw reduces the flow of milk
and gives an unpleasant flavor to the
butter.
Milk will take up foreign odor
with surprising quickness, so keep as
far from all communicating substances
as possible. Immediately after strain
ing separate the cream with a cream
separator. But if separator is not
available. the following plan will give
satisfaction:
During the cool weather let the milk
set in shallow pans about twelve
hours, then set it in the reservoir or
back of the stove when fire is low and
raise the temperature to that of new
milk; then let it set IL hours longer
in low temperature before skimming.
In this way the yield of cream can
be almost doubled and is in a firm
sheet and easily SKINNED, and keeps
longer without getting old than any
other way. When cream is scarce it
can be safely kept four or five days
just above the freezing point. Then
when you have enough for churning
add a good starter of sour cream and
bring it to a temperature of 60 de.
grees to ripen.
It is almost impossible to add wa
ter directly to cream without injury.
This is done by setting cream buckets
In hot water and stirring cream often.
Cream so treated churns quickly,
yields more and better butter and
keeps the skim milk sweet longer than
any other plan. Properly ripened
cream is glossy on top, Is thicker than
ordinary cream and has an acid taste
The Odanah star. [volume] (Odanah, Ashland Co., Wis.) 1912-1916, 1915-01-22

and smell. In cold weather complaints
of trouble in churning are most num-
erous. Many who consider themselves
expert butter makers occasionally
meet with refractory batch Of cream
that defies all efforts to coax forth its
golden treasure.
Ordinarily there is no cream so hard
to churn that it is not amenable to
proper treatment. It is possible to
make the best of butter with the old
dash churn and butter bowl, but the
labor involved is out of all proportion
to results. If the butter fails to come
it is due to one or some combination of
the following causes:
First, the churn may be too full.
Second, the temperature is too high
or too low.
Third, the cream is improperly or in
sufficiently ripened.
Fourth there is too small a percent
age of butterfat, probably because
there is too much skim milk with the
cream.
The churn should never be more
than half-full. 1t will often save time
and temper to divide the churning, es.
pecially If the temperature is little
low; when churning commences the
air and cream are mixed into foam
which fills the churn so full that no
motion of the fat globules toward each
other can occur, and it is impossible
to churn frothy mass. In such case
part of the cream must be drawn of,
the temperature raised little and the
butter will soon come.
To have the temperature just right
is a matter of the greatest Importance,
and next to a good churn the thermom-
eter is the most important apparatus
in the dairy. For the making Of uni
formly fine butter it is Indispensable.
The kind to get is glass dairy Their
mometer that sells for fifteen cents
and up.
About IS degrees in summer and 60
degrees in winter is usually the de-
sired temperature. The object OF
churning is to bring the invisible fat
globules that are suspended in the
cream in contact with each other. If
they are just soft enough they will
unite under a steady stroke of the
dasher, the process going on till the
butter comes. If too hard Or too soft
they will not do this, and that is why
temperature is so important

Dr. Meyer-aerhard was q passenger
touched there.
The conflicting views existing be-
tween Berlin and Washington regard
ing the Lusitania affair rest on a mis-
understanding. and will be settled
peacefully" he is quoted as saying.
The conflict between President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan is of old origin,
and arose from quite different causes
than the Lusitania affair.
1.-THE breach was rendered inevita bio
by the independent procedure of the
President. who rejected the counsels Of
his responsible minister and drafted
the latest American note to Germany
according to his own ideas. AS Prcsi-
dent wilson framed his reply without
even consulting Mr.. Bryan, the latter
had no other recourse but to request
that he be released from Office.
The tension between the two must,
therefore. he regarded as entirely a do
nestle affair. The feeling Of the Amer
lean people and government towards
Germany is not at all bellicose: on the
contrary. there prevails an absolute
desire for peace"
