The cream should be kept in as
nearly sweet condition as possible
until enough has been gathered for a
churning. This should then be soured
or ripened. To ripen the cream warm
it to temperature of rs to so degrees,
until it is sour enough; then cool down
to a temperature Of from IS to 60 de-
grees, which is right for churnng.
Let it stand at this temperature for
an hour or SO before churning, If pos
sible. This will cause the butter to
come in better condition. Cream that
is being ripened should be thoroughly
stirred several times before it is ready
for churning.
1t is often advisable to save some of
the buttermilk of one churning to be
used as starter (the same as yeast
in breadmaking) for the next batch
of cream. Add a small amount of
this buttermilk to the sweet cream
when enough has been gathered for a
churning; thoroughly stir it, and it
will ripen very much more rapidly.
Care should be exercised to keep this
old buttermilk in as good condition
as possible.
Strain all cream into the churn.
This will remove all clots and parti-
cles of curd, and tt are will be no dan.
ger of white specks in the butter. Do
not fill the churn over one-third to
one-half full. Give the cream room
for agitation, which insures quick
churning. Turn the churn just fast
enough to give the cream the greatest
amount of agitation.
The butter should be gathered until
the grains become about one-half the
size of wheat. Then draw off the
buttermilk through strainer and
wash the butter in cold water two or
three times, or until the wash water
is removed practically clear. In wash
ing. care should be exercised not to
bring the grains together in one mass.
but rather keep it in the granular con.
dition. The washing of the butter
removes the buttermilk and makes the
butter keep for a longer time 1t also
puts it in better condition for sailing.

INCENTIVE TO RAISE SWINE
Farmer Should Not Only Provide Meat
for His Own Table, But Have
Some for the Market.

The price of hogs continues to climb
and bacon and hams are keeping right
in close touch with the advance This
is going to work hardship on many
a man who has been in the habit of
enjoying these products. With the
farmer, however, it should be an In.
centive to raise hogs not only to pro-
vide meat TO: his own table, but to
have some for the market. There is
both good liz ing and money in it.

MAKE BETTER BUTTER
No Reason Why Product Should
Not Be improved in Quality.
BY More Careful Handling and Fol.
lowing Simple Directions Given,
Better Grade Can BE Made
Hand Separator Favored.
(BY H NJ. RAINESl

Nearly all butter sold by the farmer
is poorer quality than 1t should be-.
By more careful handling and better
methods there is no reason why this
product should not only be improved
in quality. but better price should
be received for 1t. BY carrying out
the following conditions and methods
a very much better grade OF butter
should be produced:
Hand separator cream produces bet
ter butter than that separated by any
other method. The deep can sur
rounded by cold water is second best {:
pans and crooks are third best, and
the water-dilution method comes last.

locket 1t was one he had surrepti-
tiously secured from the village pho
tographer. He had not sent letter
to Helen during his exile. Many a
missive he had begun, but it had end
ed in shrinking sense of unworthi-
ness and the friendly lines, budding
with more tender regard, had never
met the eyes of Helen.
1t was during the last stage of his
journey that Morse made discovery
that led him to change his route. At
junction where there was a change
of cars, he had just time to shake,
hands with man he had known in
Hopeton and PROFOUND an eager in
quiry.
"By the way" were his words,
you remember Miss Warren? What
became of herr"
"Oh," was the hasty casual re-
sponse, "she left Hopeton to live with
relative in Belleville three years
ago."
Morse did not therefore go to his
native town. He lost time making
connections and it was afternoon
when he arrived at Belleville. The
town was strange to him. AS he paid
for lunch at a little restaurant he
ventured to speak to its proprietor.
There was Miss Warren here"
he observed.
"Oh, yes. Married. She is Mrs.
Porter now. Did you know her,
sir?"
Married! A blow, dull, deadening,
seemed to fall upon the heart of Aus
tin Morse. He knew not what inco-
herent words he mumbled as he stag
gered from the place. He sought un-
frequented byways, he finally sat
down in a lonely spot and tried to
overcome the numbing influence of
the intelligence he had received.
"This won't do" he exclaimed at

| now. He was fearless as to facing
the truth. With a nature just as true
and honest as ever he decided to once
more see the woman he had loved as
friend, and go back to the old lonely
life and cheerfully work as hard as
ever, He made some inquiries as to
the Porter home and located it.
In its garden a dainty little miss
was seated on a ristic bench making
bouquet from a lapful of flowers.
Morse doubted not that this was Hell
ems little daughter. His heart warm
ed towards the child. His soul was
hungry for sympathy and comfort.
He crossed the unfenced lawn. With
a reassuripg smile he sat down beside
the child and asked her name.
1t was "Helen Porter" she told
him, and in a pretty ehild-ike way
fastened a rose in his buttonhole.
Then her attention became attracted
to the locket on his watch chain. It's
oddity made her curious. He remoV-
ed the locket to please her. Suppose
she kept it? He had no longer a
right to retain the picture of we'd
ded woman!
AS she opened it and saw the por-
trait within, the little ones eyes di-
lated. She looked up at him. His
own were filed with tears. She was
about to ask some puzzled question,
when abruptly she started to her feet.
The flowers were scattered wide.

shouted the child, and she ran for
ward to meet lady just turning into
