be Very Quiet

There will not be very much
noise at the coming city election
from present indications. This
will be something unusual for
the city of Lennon as usually a
strong factional fight has pre-
vailed at all municipal elections.
The voters of the city have
come TO a realization of the fact
that these fights are detrimental
to the growth of the municipal
V. and have found that there is
nothing to gain by fighting over
trivial d fferences. is the only
reason that the HERALD can give
for the quietness
The HERALD be lieves that
more progress will be made in
Lennon during 1916 than in any
previous year as a direct result
of this pulling together in spit"
of political d fferences.

CHURNING HINTS FOR WINTER
Butter-Making 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 SO degrees Fahren-
heit until two days before churning,
when it should be placed where the
temperature is about rs degrees Fair
enheit.
The cream should be kept at SO to
60 degrees Fahrenheit during churn-
ing time and when the butter collects
into small nut sizes the buttermilk
should be drained off and water at
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 off the
water. To work the butter, place the
particles on fiat board and strew the
salt over it uniformly and work just
enough to distribute the salt evenly
throughout the butter.
