This is q question often heard in
the farm home at this season Of the
year. There are several conditions
which cause difficult churning, but dur
ing the winter season, when most diff
ficulty is found, it is likely caused
from one or more Of the following con
ditions:
Milk or cream from cows we'll adj
Yanced in the period of laclation, or
those nearly dry, is harder to ehurn
than cream from some cows when
fresh. The farm COW is often nearly
dry during the winter months, and on
most farms, she is fed on dry feed.
The butter fat is harder, and hence
the cream is harder TO churn than
when the COW is fresh and running on
a good pasture.
Probably the most frequent cause of
difficult churning is that of churnlng
cold cream. This often happens in
the winter time. There is no certain
temperature at which, to churn; but,
this will have to be determined in this
way.- 0hurh at teFeFrtemperature
the cream will ehurn sin twenty to-
thirty minutes. This may vary under
different conditions as much as ten
degrees, hut under average conditions
higher temperature will be needed in
winter than in summer.
Sour cream will churn more readily
than will sweet cream, other things be-
ing equal In cold weather the cream
is not apt to be thoroughly soured.
If it does not sour by the time that
sufficient quantity is accumulated
for churning, the temperature should
be raised to about 70 degrees and held
there for a few hours. 1t may be
necessary in some cases to add lit
tie sour butter milk from a previous
churning to start the cream souring. |
If a barrel ehurn is used, ii should |
not be filled more than one-third to
one-half full, in order that the cream |
will have room to become thoroughly !

FARMER RADF0RD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home is the greatest contribu-
tion of women to the world, and the
hearthstone is her throne Our So
cial structure Is built around her, and
social righteousness is in her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies OF
hope and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her power are the cumu-
lative products Of generations of
queenly conquest, and her crown of
exalted womanhood is jeweled with
the wisdom of sanity mothers. She
has been a great factor in the glory
of our country and her noble achieve
ments should not be marred or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship. Ameri.
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities of
the sordid affairs of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
of our domestic welfare and a guide
to higher life, but directing the af.
fairs of government is not within wo-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mend our clothes and burn
the biscuits.

The Austro- Hungarian Embassy is

"Ex-Consul DR.. Goricar has been on
leave Of absence since the outbreak Of
the war and has been temporarily at
tached to the Austro-Hungarian Con-
sulate General in Berlin. There he OBJ.
tanned knowledge that the Austro-
Hungarian authorities had received in
formation about his secret connections
with enemies, and evidently fearing
detection, he suddenly left his post.
From Rome he rendered his resigna-
tion, thereby preventing his dismissal.
while he was in Rome It was as
certained that he was in close rela-

obviously with the purpose of going
to the United States to disseminate

"The Austro-Hungarian Embassy has
been informed that quite a number OF
southern Slavs from the monarchy
have been enlisted by the allies agents
and have left this country to fight
against the Austro-Hungarian army. II
is very probable that Dr. Goricar con

The Austro-Hungarian Embassay

ing him to cooperate with other neu-
trails in calling such a conference.
In statement laid before the Presi-
dent by Dr.. Jordan II was declared
that as result OF recent missions to
the governments Of the warning ma
tions, It could be stated that while
the nations at war were not willing
themselves to begin negotiations for
peace, there is nevertheless abundant
evidence that those charged with the
administration OF the foreign policies

a neutral agency to bring about a peace

information was available, peace adyo-
Gates had learned from unofficial
sources in Holland, Sweden, Switzer-

Chicago, when she visited Europe as a
representative Of the Women's Peace
Congress, and much of the informa-

Dr.. Jordan took the position that II
would be more natural for the Euro

State Insurance Fund Rates.

Official announcement of the genI
eral plan of the States rates for la'I
bility insurance in the workmensI
compensation insurance fund was
made by State Treasurer Robert k
Young, chairman of the Insurance
Fund Board, in the following state|
ment:
"The board will make a reduction
from the approved rates of the insuF'
ance rate manual of ten per centum|
and the minimum premium is fixed al
$500"
In connection with this announce'l
ment, the following explanatory state
ment was issued by Albert L. Allen,
assistant manager of the State insur
ances fund.-
"This approved rate reduction of ten
per cent. on all rates concerns all em
ployers of labor in the State. The law
creating the fund requires that me
premium rates shall be fixed at the
lowest amount consistent with the
maintenance of a solvent fund and
the creating Of an adequate surplus
and reserve. The fund pays no com
missions to agents and does not have
to earn profits for stockholders, while
for the first three and one-half years
the entire expenses of the management
are paid by the State. The elimina'
tion of these expenses is sufficient 10
allow the board to write insurance al
this reduced original rate. The bal
ance remaining also gives every pros
pect of returning very substanual
rebate in dividends to subscribers az
the end of the year, so as to bring tns
cost of insurance in the State down 10
a much lower basis. Employers may
obtain their compensation insurance
in the State at rate lower than tna'
charged by the stock and mutual com
panies and secure complete reease
of their personal liability and full pro
lection Of their property against COM
pensation liens. If the subscriber U
the fund makes the report of an ac
cident within seven days, his liablln!
ceases and is transferred automatlc@
ly to the fund, so that no valid hei
can be filed against the property oil al
employer insuring in it. Every othe'
form of insurance leaves the employer
personally liable.
