HOW TO MAKE BUTTER
WITH BARREL CHURN
A Good Product Requires Close Attsn-
tlon to Details-Stop churnfns
at the Right Time.

(By c. A. Hutton, Division Of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee)
The ordinary barrel churn is un-
Questionably the best churn on the
market. There are no inside fixtures
to clean, flies can not get in, and 1t
will churn as quickly and efficiently
as any churn on the market. To get
best results, 1t should not be filed
more than one-third full. Beware OF
the so-called "two-minute" churn. The
cream should be strained into the
churn through a coarse strainer to re-
move any PARTICLES of curd. Add a
small amount of butter coloring to
give the butter a uniform color
throughout the year.

market requirements, usually about
one ounce to the pound of butter Use
just the amount of salt your customers
desire. Sprinkle the salt evenly over
the butter and work 1t down to a solid
mass with as little working as pos
sible. II time will permit, let the but
ter stand for several minutes to give
the salt time to dissolve, and rework.
Never touch the butter with your
hands. This Is not sanitary and the
heat destroys the grain of the butter.
Always mould the butter into brick
shaped prints. This makes a more at
tractive package, the paper can be
wrapped around it nicely, and 1t packs
well for shipment. Use a good grade
OF parchment butter paper, and if the
butter is to be shipped very far, put
each pound in small paste-board car
ton, or box.
1t is always advisable to sell direct
TO the customer where this method of
marketing is practicable. Hotels, res
taurants, and private families usually
afford the best markets for good dairy
or farm butter. For farmers living in
remote country districts, parcel post
offers good method Of marketing but

New Fire Alarm System

The Gamewell storage battery sys-

ed at the central fire station at a cost
of $500. This replaces the old
gravity battery system which was
costing the town about $3.50 yeal

the price of chemicals The new
system will cost for maintenance on
ly about $35 year for the electric
current to run the motor generator
and $40 once in four years for the
replacing of the lead plates inside
the cells.
This new system comes from the
Gamewell Fire Alarm Company's
factory at Newton Upper Falls, Mass.
There are two sets of cells, twenty
one each, SO that one set is charged
every other day while the other is in
use. The cells are wired from the
North and South sides of the river

TEN, the other may still be used. The
switches are so arranged that both
may be used together or separately.
Each cell contains a twenty-five per
cent solution of sulphuric acid and
water, called electrolyte, in glass
jars with lead plates. As the water
in the cells eyaporates, more is
poured in, this being the only task
required, besides the replacing every
four years of the lead plates and So
luton. to keep the system in perfect
running order.
The current is generated by a mo-
tor generator running 4 hours each
day, putting into the cells "a ampere

system alone cost $500 and has a
shining array of various switches, a
voltmeter to show the voltage of the
cells. and an ammeter to show either
the current from generator to bat
teries, or the amount going to oper-
ate the line. There is also a relay
which keeps the current from flow
ing back to the generator while the
cells are working.

DR.. HUMPHREY SPEAKS
TO METHODIST
Says Layity is not To Blame for
Conditions

Rev. L. G. Humphrey, d. D. OF Gin
cinnati, Ohio, spoke last week at
Skowhegan and at Madison in the
interest of the Maine campaign to
raise 100000 as permanent fund
for retired ministers and the support
of widows and orphans of deceased
preachers.
He said that the layity is not
to blame for the present conditions
because they have not been properly
trained The old sentiment still
prevails. that if ministers are com
fortably provided for. they are I'M
willing to travel and their work is
thus hndered. As early as 1899
there were 269 travelling or "ef-
fective" men while there were $50
located men. Many of these To-
Gated men were some OF the ablest
preachers and administrators of
early Methodism, but they were com
PEELED to turn from the ministry for
lack of support.
In those days the retired minister
received share alike with the bishop
presiding elder, and pastor. From
the Christmas conference in 1884 to
1900, the annual allowance for the
support of these three, together with
the retired minister and widows OF
ministers. was $4,000 each. In 1906
the allowance was increased to $SC
each, remaining at that figure till the
death of Bishop Asbury in 1916.
: One of the first things the General
Conference did in 1876 was TO make
the annual allowance, for the preach
er, 500, with an additional 500 foI
his wife. sic each for the children
under years of age, and "a each fol
each child between the ages of and
IA years. In other words from 1884
TO 1913 the conference claimants, with
the exception of orphan children
shared equally with the Bishop, Pre-
/ siding Elder and Pastor.
Since 1913 the Bishops support
has increased 25 times, the District
Superintendent. 10 times and the
pastor four and one-half times II
! 1908 one-third of our retired minis.
tiers received the same amount OF
/ less than the retired ministers OF
1S4S, two-thirds received double the
amount and only one-tenth three
! times as much as in lS4S.

THE PAST YEAR WITH THE
FARMERS TELEPHONE
Many Improvements Have Been
Made in Lines

The company had many things to
be done at the beginning of the year
1916. The line from Skowhegan by
way of the Back Road to Fairfield
had become worthless; the line from
Fairfield to Canaan by way of Hinck-
ley; all the lines in Madison village
and the line from Madison to Starks
were so noisy from electric light and
power induction or ground currents
that they had become of very little
value as commercial talking lines.
The trunk line between North An
son and Scion was a grounded cir
cult while all the rest of the trunk
line from Bingham to Madison was
metallic or double wire circuit.
Directly after the annual meeting
of last January, the directors ap-
proved the plan of the manager to
make the lines metallic from Show
hogan to Fairfield and from Fairfield
by way of Hinckley to Canaan. These
two lines took about 80 miles of wire
and wire was then about $40 a mile
as compared with the usual price OF
about Sc a mile. 1t was plain that
this work would cost more than if it
had been done sooner, but the work
was started in in January or the first
of February and both lines were
completed, transposed, the subscrib-
ers' loops put in with the most up to
date twisted pair wire, new arrest
ers and in accordance with the fire
underwriters requirements. These
lines which had been formerly SC
noisy and impossible to talk over
were by this means made quiet and
first class commercial lines.
AT the next directors meeting, di-
rector D. B. Hobart of East Madison
called attention to the condition Of
the East Madison line which had
been a hard line to talk over, owing
to induction from electric car anC
light lines. The directors voted tc
make that line also metallic. Most
of the wire for the purpose was
