LUntil this engagement, however, no
German fleet has put forth in force
TO nccesstatc the giving Of the alarm
to the British main fleet that it's foe
was coming out to give battle. The
rendezvous Of the British battle fleet
has been a secret but is generally be-
iicved to have been in the Orkney is
lands north OF Scotland. The long
months Of watchful waiting by the
British however, were broken into by
two naval engagements in which com
lparatively small suuadrons Of German
,, warships were involved, and in both
Of which the British were victories. On
August s, 1911, Admiral Sir David
Beatty on his flagship the battlccruiser
Lion, led his squadron in daring dash
into the Blight Of Heligoland. In an on

great fortress three German armorcd

On January "a, 1915 a German
squadron attempted raid on the
British coast. encountered Admiral
Beatty off the Doggcr banks and in
running fight the German cruiser
Bluecher was sunk and two Of her
sister ships set on fire. Several raids
have been made by German naval de-
tachments on the British coast in
which Yarmouth, Scarborough, Whitby,
Hartlepcol and Lowestoft have been
bombarded. The last of these raids was
made April &c, last on which occa-
sion according to the German claim,
British destroyer and two scout ships
were sunk.

DAIRY NOTES

Consider records more than appear
ance in buying a cow.
The sun dispels foul odors and
makes the air sweet and wholesome.
There is more money in good
mixer than in any other man on the
farm.
Be sure that the calves get all the
sunshine that is coming to them this
winter.
Thorough milking tends to develop a
cows udder and increase her milk ca
pacity.
Train the youngsters to lead. No
heifer should reach her first birthday
unbroken to the halter.
The brush and comb are Just as
necessary to dairy success in winter
as the milk pail and scales.
Where more than two COWS are
MIXED, the calves should not be al
lowed to suck after the first day.
Few schemes of farming can sue
coed with the COW eliminated. and the
better the COW the larger the profits

NOTIFIED BUTTER IN WINTER
Defect Is One of Workmanship and
Can Be Overcome by Application
of Proper Methods.

From Weekly News Letter United States
Department of Agriculture.)
Notified butter is frequently found
on the market at this time of the
year, and, even though it may be Of
very good flavor, it is strongly dis
eliminated against by the purchaser.
AS this defect is one of workmanship,
1t can be overcome by the application
Of proper methods on the part of the
buttermaker.
Notifies are caused primarily by an
uneven distribution of salt in the but
ter. This may be produced by INSULT
Client working of the butter or by
churning, washing and working it at
very low temperature, or by washing
or working 1t at temperature several
degrees higher or lower than the
churning temperature.
When the quantity of butter made in
one churning is much less than usual,
it is necessary to work it a greater
number Of revolutions of the churn
than usual In order to produce the
same results on the butter.
Extremely low temperatures Of
churning, washing and working should
be avoided, because they produce so
firm butter that it is only with great
difficulty that the salt can be worked
uniformly into it. High temperatures
of churning, washing and working
must be avoided to prevent an abnor-
NAL loss of fat in the buttermilk and
also the making Of greasy, leaky
butter.
Great variations in temperature dur.
ing the manufacturing process should
always be avoided Under normal con.
ditions the temperature of the wash
water should be the same as, or with.
IN two degrees Of that Of the butter.
milk.
When the churn room is so cold that
the butter becomes chilled before
working Is completed, notified butter
Is frequently the result. To prevent
this it is preferable to increase the
amount of working rather than to raise
the temperature Of the wash water.
Notified butter, then, may be pre-.
vented by using methods that will in
sure uniform distribution Of salt.

Valuable Exploration.

Capt. Joseph E. Bernier, polar ex-
plorer in the service of the Canadian
government for a number of years,
recently returned from cruise of
more than 1000 miles through the
Arctic archipelago, during which he
placed many new islands, bays and
promontories on the map. During his
exploration work he has charted over
100000 square miles of islands in the
far North, and has discovered many
records of Arctic expeditions. He
has been commissioned to establish a
force of the mounted police in Hudson
bay and to take possession Of the Arc
tic archipelago between the region of
141 degrees west to 60 degrees west
and all the adjacent islands as far IS
80 degrees north latitude. Captain
Bernier's great ambition is to journey
to the North pole, an undertaking
which he believes he can accomplish
with no great difficulty when the op.
perfume time arrives.

SIMPLE RULES FOR FIGURES
Remembering These, One May Always
Be Sure as to the Oivlsi.
biIty of Numbers,

1t is often convenient to know
whether a given number is Invisible
by another without going through the
usual process of division. Almost ev-
eryone knows that, however large a
number may be, it is Invisible by 5
If the last digit is 5 or o. The follow
ing gives the rule for some other mum
bers:
A number is Invisible by 2 when the
last digit is Invisible by 2; by three
when the sum of the digits is Invisible
by 3; by 4 when the number repre-
sented by the last two digits is divis-
ible by 4; by when the number ends
in or 0; by when it is divisible by
2 and also by 3; by s when the num-
Der represented by the last three dig
its is Invisible by 8; by when the
sum of the digits is Invisible by 9.
For example: The number 1928 is
Invisible by 2. because it's last digit, s,
is Invisible by Q; by 4, because % is
Invisible by 4, and by 8, because 1928
is divisible by c. 1t is also divisible
by and by 8, for the sum of it's digits
totals IS, number Invisible by and
by 8. Since it is Invisible by and
by 3, it is also divisible by 6.
To find whether a number is divis-
ible by Z, you must go through the
usual process Of division.-Youth's
Companion.
