cHURNING HINTS FOR WINTER
Butter.Makins Troubles May Be Over. come by Keeping Cream at the
 Proper Temperature.

Troubles arising from winter butter. making may largely be overcome by keeping the cream to be churned at a temperature of 52 degrees Fahren- heit until two days before churning. when 1t should be placed where the temperature is about 75 degrees Fahr- enheit.
 The cream should be kept at 5s to SO degrees Fahrenheit during churn- ing time and when the butter collects into small nut sizes the buttermilk should be drained of and water at a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit should be poured over it, repeating the rinsing process two or three times.
 With the last rinsing. give twenty churning revolutions and draw oil the water. To work the butter. place the particles or fiat board and strew the salt over 1t uniformly and work just enough to distribute the salt evenly throughout the butter.
Tombstone epitaph., 1916-04-02
DEVICE TO SEPARATE CREAM
Machine Will Often Pay for Itself in One Year, Much Depending on
 Number of Cows Kept.

The cream separator Is a mechani- cal device for separating the cream from the milk. almost instantaneously by centrifugal force. Its advantages over the old methods of separation are:
 l. It takes practically all the but ter fat and will save from five to ten dollars per COW each year over any methods.
 2. Skim milk has its greatest feed ing value while warm, clean and sweet
 3. The labor connected with the care of the milk can be decreased and the profits from the cows greatly increased because a better quality Of cream can be obtained.
 A cream separator is an invest ment end not an expense to anyone who keeps five or six good cows. and wants to make butter or sell cream. A separator will often pay for itself in one year, often in less time. ac' cording to the number of COWS kept. With proper care and attention, a cream separator will last a decade.

With one heaving sigh she settled back. Her eyes closed: she fell as into sleep. And presently she was babbling first in the baritone Of Doctor Carver and then in the liquid accents of Laughing-Eyes.

CHAPTER \.
A Lone Hand.


 Martin McGee waited to keep his latest appointment with Rosalie Le Grange on a bench in Stuyvesant Fish Park. dead center for the Hebrew pop ulation in New York. He speculated lazily and with some amusement upon the habits of Rosalie Le Grange-so much her own, yet so well conceived for her purpose. For example. this method Of holding business confer ences on secret enairs-for she al ways set her appointments in some out-of-the-way open space. It WAS a highly original. highly effective plan. One could enter without at tracting attention; one could watch the approaches: a meeting in 3 pub He park-grant that it were discov- cred in euch a remote part of the city could be passed on as ah accidental encounter. not a conference. That was one of the thousand ways in which her mind thought faster and further than his.
 Martin EcGee was approaching fifty. the second period of sentiment in man Tn the lusty summer of his days, he had woodland lost. She had chosen the other arm Of muIiSi- pal warfare and married a fireman. Since then woman had cut but a shad- owy figure in his bachelor life. And here, in his middle age. the face and figure. the form and move of woman was playing hide-and-seek among his thought of police duty and police priv iisSe. He recognized ever a certain embarrassment over the coming meet ing like that of youth who has been slapped by a perky girl.
 How do you do?" said a voice be side him: and Rosalie's self settled down on the park bench.
 He looked at her without rising. his first thought to read in those eyes Of hers. which mirrored so many emo 'ions. her attitude toward him. The eyes were laughing,
 How do you do!" he repeated after her. And then. as though he must be out with it:
 Say. guess there's an apology coming from me"
 "If there is." said Rosalie. there's one coming from about every man ever knew. It's the way of the ani- nal. It's a kind Of left-handed com piiment to the lady though. Now let's overlook little things. I've come to talk business I'm busting with it-" She glanced to right and left, taking in a faded black hood" of a woman. a sodden "panhandler" of a man. -'I guess we'd better walk" she said They rose and threaded the push-carts the crowds. the confusion and smells toward the river.

 I've brought your dinner myself" she said to Miss Estrilla. She put down the tray, adjusted the napkin. bolstered the invalid with the pillows. and took up cup Of bouillon.
 There now. I'll help-oh. dearie. I'm so sorry!" For Rosalie had stum- bled slightly in approaching the couch. and the bouillon had splashed over the napkin. the spread. and Miss Estrilla's g hands. Rosalie bubbled apologies as she hurried about the room. getting cloth. towels. warm water. Miss Es- trilla was very gracious. but Rosalie continued to apologize as she began to scrub her hands.

 No; but it's very sticky" replied Miss Estrilla.
