PILGRIMS GROW
Large Number Added to Membership
 Last Sunday.

Last Sunday.
 Pilgrim church was we'll filled on Sunday in spite of the rain, the occasion being the May communion and the re. ception of large class of new mem- bers. It was a notable occasion in several particulars, especially in that the number who partook of the com. munion was by far the largest ever known in tue history of the church; and the number of those who were re. ceived into membership in the church was the largest number ever received not only in one Sunday but in one year since the year the church was organized, twenty. nine years ago.
 There were fourteen received on pro. fession of faith and eight by letter. while the pastor held the letters of two others who were not able to be present to be received.
 It was an impressive sight to see TOW of new members extending entirely across the front of the church. Of those received upon profession of faith one half were young men and boys, and it has been noticed that 40 per cent. of the Sunday morning congregations of late have been men and boys, undoubtedly result of the Brotherhood movement.
 Mir. Gillette stated in his address on Sunday that there was no desire to em. phasize the mere fact of members, but that members were important in that each one represented a life and that all represented just so much fresh, strong life taken into the church to add to its power as we'll as its responsibility.

IMPROVE EFFICIENCY
Fire Company May Procure Two. Tank
 Auto Chemical Erg ne.

Canaan Hose Company has been in existence exactly five years last Tues day, having been organized May Q, 1911. There will be no dispute on the assertion that it has splendidly justified its existence on number of occasions. and no citizen will seriously say the town could get along without it. With necessarily limited equipment the tiremen, by their ever. readiness, prompt response and intelligent foremanship, have extinguished n considerable num- Der of fires and prevented con1agrations that would inevitably have proved seri- ous and destructive but for their promptness and efficiency. They have demonstrated, in commendable fashion, that their organization is an Invaluable asset to the town.
 One drawback which is handicappinR the company. and which has heretofore on various occasions cost them many valuable minutes in getting to the scene of fire, is their dependence on hand drawn appal latus. and the necessity, at times, of persuading some obliging auto owner or team driver to tow their chemical engine and hose carts to blazes at distance.
 = An opportunity now presents itseif for the company to procure slightly used double tank auto chemical eng inc, at bargain figure of $sb0--a reduction from Sl, 1850, and it is proposed to at- tempt to raise that amount. by contTi- button, appropriation or both, and it is not considered probable that there will be serious opposition to an investment so palpably necessary. aside from the advantage it would give In insurinE N quicker arrival at a fire, the item of in- surance shovld figure very largely. It is stated that where the rate of fire in. surance is nov Sl on $lOC for thre0 years, communities having double tank auto chemical will get ;he rate of so cents on $l00-a 20 per cent reduce tion- which in itself wuCld seem to constitute valid argument Cor proour- ing the machine.

UNIFORM COLOR IS DESIRED
coIorine Should Be Added Just Before
Churning Begins-oVerchurning
Is Undesirable.

A uniform color in the butter from
one season to the other is desirable,
hence during the winter when the
cows are getting dry feed little COL
oring should be added. Too much col
oring, however. is very undesirable.
When coloring is used it should be
added just before the churning begins.
Stopping the churn at the proper
time has much to do with the quality
of the butter. It should be stopped
when the butter is in the form of
granules about the size of a kernel of
wheat or a trifle larger. When the
butter is churned to too small gran
ules many of them will go through the
buttermilk strainer and will cause
more or less loss. Overchurnfng is un-
desirable because the butter will retain
considerable buttermilk, which is diff
cult to remove and which also tends to
cause the butter to deteriorate faster.
AS soon as the churning has been COM
pleted, the buttermilk should be drawn
off.
Middletown transcript., 1916-09-16

carried is a burden. AS these outings
are for social pleasure and rest it is
wise that they be planned with the
minimum Of work. Only the easily d.
gested foods should be carried and
special thought should be made for
the children. Older people may in
dulge in rich cakes and highly sea-
soned foods, but the children should
be spared.
There is an endless variety of sand
wiches which may be prepared: finely
chopped meat, fish that has been
rubbed to a paste with seasonings and
cream or salad dressing. Nut bread
with butter is always a favorite, gra.
ham, brown, white and whole wheat
give pleasant variety.
Crisp slices Of cucumber dipped in
dressing and put between buttered
bread are most refreshing sandwiches,
but they will not bear standing even
half hour.
Fruits are always acceptable, espe-
cia1ly the juicy peaches, pears, apples,
and melons.
Tomatoes are easily carried and
with a small jar of salad dressing a
tempting salad may soon be prepared.
Lemonade may be prepared all
ready for the addition of cold water
and the drink for the children is ready.
Care should be taken as to the amount
served If much other fruit Is eaten.
Fruits quench thirst and appease hum
ger without adding burden to the
body.
A cheap chatting dish with a can Of
fuel will save the bother Of building
fire If one cares to deny themselves
that enjoyment. With this chatting dish
all sorts Of creamed things may be
prepared or a pot of coffee may be
made. Put the coffee into small bags,
allowing a tablespoonful for each per-
son; then the bags may be dropped in
to the boiling water and there will be
no grounds for complaint.
Lacto.-Beat two eggs, add two cup
fuls of sugar, four and a half cupfuls
of sour milk. a half cupful of grape
juice and half cupful of lemon Juice.
Freeze as usual Other fruit juices
may be used as desired. This is a
most wholesome and refreshing ice to
serve during the summer.

COMMON CAUSE OF
SCOURS IN CALVES
Trouble Brought About by Indi-
geStiOn or Inflammation
Reduce the Ration.

The common cause of scours in
calves is indigestion or Inflammation
in the stomach. This may be brought
about by n large variety Of causes.
but in any case the aim of the treat
ment should be to remove the source
of the Inflammation. AS in most other
ailments, half of the battle in curing
scourS is to begin treatment as soon
as any trouble is noticed. The Nebras-
ka College of Agriculture says that the
calves should be- watched closely and
treatment administered upon the first
indication of scours. Treatment should
always begin by cutting down the ra-
ton, thus giving the calf chance to
rid itself Of the irritating material.
The milk should be cut down at least
one-half and in severe cases withheld

BLACKLEG is TO BE AVOIDED
Infectious Disease Usually Attacks
Cattle Between Ages of Six
Months and Two Years.

The infectious disease known as
blackleg usually affects cattle between
the ages Of six months and two and
one-half years. 1t gains entrance to
the tissues through small wounds on
the skin.
A swelling occurs beneath, the skin
on the hindquarters, the shoulder, or
the lower portion of the neck. If the
hand is passed over this swelling it
crackles, and if cut into, a yellowish,
bloody fluid flows out. The carcasses
of dead animals should be buried or
burned and the spots where they died
should be diSinfected.
The healthy cattle should be re-
moved from infected pastures and all
susceptible cattle should be vaccinated.
