DAIRY 
FOR BETTER BUTTER MAKING
Greater Attention Should Be Given to Details Concerning Factors A.
 fectine the Quality.
(By J. hCITULCY.)


 Of the 994,650.610 pounds of butter which, it is estimated is made on tho farms annually in this country, the greater part of it is of very poor Qual- ity. If any improvement is to take place and prove of profit to the farm butter makers. it is very necessary that more attention be paid to the details which go to make up the whole of this important work.
 The fundamental facts and practices concerning butter making should be applied by the farmer as we'll as the creamery operator. This knowledge and it's importance should be known in order that 1t be intelligently ap- piled Cleanliness and attention to details are the three prerequisites to the making of good butter The main defects in farm butter show these three prerequisites to be very ire quently neglected. These defects are. 1 Bad flavors
 9 Lack of uniformity in color and salt
 8 Unsuitable packages and no uni formity in the style of the package. The bad flavors are due largely or entirely to the changes in the milk

and cream before it Is churned. rather than 10 the subsequent treatment of the butter.
 The importance of cleanliness can not be overemphasiZed. In our haste to accomplish task we often sacri- flee our better judgment. only to learn that haste at that stage of the work necessitates a vast. in time and labor at a later period. This is particularly true in handling milk and cream to be used for butter on farms The bodies of the COWS. the utensils. and the conditions at the barn the milk room. and the storage room should all be clean. These are the primary factors which affect the cleanliness of milk and cream.
 The utensils should be o' such mate rial and construction that they arc easily cleaned and kept so. The in- terior should he smooth. with no cracks or Crevices for dirt and milk remnants 10 find lodgment and be removed only with difficulty. The surface should be heavily timed and the seams filled with solder Tin ware should be kept bright and per feet. As soon as any rust spots make their appearance an entrance Is given into the soft iron for germs and small particles of deCaying matter. which are. in conequence. removed with much more difficulty The proc ess of cleaning vessels which have contained milk should be:
 First. to rinse them thoroughly in cold water then in lukewarm water. Second. wash thoroughly with the aid of some good soap or cleansing pow der in water as hot as the hand will bear Third, thoroughly rinse in hot water, Fourth. expose to live steam from one to two minutes or to boiling hot water for five minutes in case steam Is not available. Fifth. exposure, if possible. in bright sunlight from two 10 three hours.
 In this way the tinware can be kept clean and bright and free from bac- teria. Having thoroughly cleaned the vessels the prevention of access of dirt 10 the milk in process of milking Is important

Suggests Income Tax for State.

The State Tax Commission, suggest ing new sources of revenues, says the Legislatures could pass law prov'd. ing for a privilege or excise tax on the gross receipts of places of amuse- ment, such as moving picture show~. theaters. vaudeville., circuses, etc" It also suggests a re-enactment of the statute of 1905 providing for the tax ing of rolling stock of private ear com panies in addition to the privilege or excise tax now provided by the act os 1909
 On the subject of an Income tax. the commission says: While the federal government now collects tax on tu comes above S3.000 per annum. we see no reason why the state should not al so make this source of revenue. as he who Is making money Is more able to support the government than he who is not. Hence. We suggest that the in coming Legislature submit an amendment to our constitution pro viding for a graduated tax on incomes, making proper allowances for those who have families to support.
 Tn this way it Is not expected that the deficit will be covered at once. but with this change in our law and rigid economy practiced in all departments and institutions of the state. in the course of a few years the deficit now existing in the states general reve- nue fund should disappear

But the American consulate would
not recognize her as either French

ARKANSAS FERTILIZER.
Sufficient Supply of Potash to Pro.
 vide World.

Little Rock Aug. 16.--About the time that the European war threatens to put he fertilizer manufacturers out of bushes, just because the worlds supply of potash comes from Germany, along comes Arkansas to tho rescue and reports the discovery of sufficient quantity to supply the world The discovery was made in Carroll county, in ;he vicinity of Ber- ryville.
 According to reports which have cone to Little Rock. the discoverers are men in the employ of Kansas City capitalists who have for months been hauling supplies and heavy ma chinery to the mines. but who decline to make public any information con- cerning the extent of the discovery, or the purity of the mineral.
 If the reports are borne out by facts the mine will be one of the big industries of Arkansas, and probably bet CT than had gold been discovered in the state.
