WALL LUABLE SOAP BERRY TREE
Product of Ecuador Has Remarkable
Qualities, Besides Its Worth as
Cleanser of the Skin.

The jaboncello, or soap berry tree
(Sapindus saponaria). grows in the
humid parts of western Ecuador. 1t
attains a height of about fifty feet
and has wide-spreading branches and
immense quantities of fruit of the size
and shape of cherries.
The nearly transparent yellowish
skin and pulp surrounding the round
black seeds are so saponaceous as to
be used instead of soap by many pee
pie of Ecuador, being equivalent to
more than fifty times their weight Of
that material.
The hard, polished seeds have been
used extensively in Spain and England
for waistcoat buttons, for they are
very durable and seldom break. They
are used also as beads.
Although considerable quantities Of
the berry are utilized locally, tons of
them rot on the ground every year,
there being as yet little foreign de-
mand for them Since they contain Il
large percentage OF saponin, they
should be of value in the manufacture
Of soap.

The sea is not a lovable monster
And monster it is. 1t is beautiful, the
sea, always beautiful on one way or
another. but it is cruel and unmind-
full Of the life that is in it and upon
it. It was cruel last evening in the
lurid low sunset that made it glow,
duly, to the cold, mocking, ragged
roonrise that made it look like death.
The waves positively beckcned when
they rose and pitched toward our boat
laboring in the trough. And all the
long night it seemed to me that
heard voices through the planking,
talking, talking, endlessly, monoton-
ously, querulously, and / couldn't
make out whether it was the ocean
calling from the outside or the ship
herself muttering gropingly, finding
herself. If the voices are of the ship
they will soon cease, for she must find
herself. But ie they are the voices
of the sea they must be sad sirens

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
criminated against by the purchaser.
As this defect is one of workmanship,
it can be overcome by the application
of proper methods on the part Of tie
buttermaker.
Notifies are caused primarily by an
uneven distribution of salt in the but
Ter. This may be produced by .insufti-
cient working of the butter or by
churning, washing and working it at
& very low temperature, or by washing
or working it at a temperature several
degrees higher or lower than the
churning temperature.
When the quantity Of butter made III
one churning is much less than usual,
it is necessary to work it greater
number of revolutions of the churn
than usual in order to produce the
same results on the butter.
Extremely low temperatures OF
cnurning, 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 a 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, mottled 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.
Mottied butter, then, may be pre-
vented by using methods that will in
sure uniform distribution of salt
