CHUFN'N2 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 II should be placed where the
temperature is about rs degrees Fair
enheit.
The cream should be kept at IS 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 a
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.

MOTHERS BIRTHDAY IS FIRST


In a Kansas rural school short
time ago the Teachers young man
Just out Of normal school-asked his
pupils, one by one, to tell what each
believed to be the greatest day in
tie yaor. The answers we're piped
To promptly, "Washington's birth
day." "Christmas," "the Fourth"
Thanksgiving" and so on.
''But Pm afraid you're all wrong"
the youthful instructor said, accord
ing to the Worcester (Mass.) Post.
"The greatest of all days in the year
is mothers birthday"
We're sorry we haven't chance
here to tell just how much we think
of that young man. Suffice it to say
that such teachers are the crying
need not of our rural schools but Of
our highbrow city institutions of
learning. For if those youngsters
learn no more than what mother
really means they will not have
trudged miles to the little frame
schoolhouse for nought.
We fear we are all pupils, more
or less, when it comes to learning our
duty and obligations to mother.
Whether we're separated from her
by land or sea we can always feel her
influence and we can always find
that tie of love that links us ever to
her blessed soul. Wouldn't it be a
better world if we all tried to make
mothers birthday the greatest of all
days? Let's try it.

LATIN QUARTER NOW A VOID
Art Students Of Paris All Have Flocked

No quarter Of Paris has changed
more than the Latin quarter since
the war began, and few have changed
so much. The streets are almost
empty, and there is no animation
anywhere. You are tempted to stand
still, TO listen, to strain your ears for
the clatter Of footsteps, the babel Of
voices, the ring of young laughter,
the busy coming and going of the
students, the trades people and the
dilettantes.
But the silence is undisturbed,
none of these things can be realized,
for the students are scattered all over
the world some are killed, many are
wounded. The trades people also
yhave wide gaps in their ranks, and
Whose we see in the quarter" are
chiefly women and elderly men. The
dilettantes, too, have paid toll, and
none more readily than those vino
were looked upon as "slackers" in the

have all gone, leaving behind them a
sad, deserted Latin quarter, void Of
interest and rich only in memories.

DEVICE TO SEPARATE CREAM
Machine VII, ofssn Pay fer Itself In
One Year. Much Depending on
Number Of Cows Kept.


The cream separator Is a mechani-
cal device for separating the cream
from the milk, almost instantaneously
by centrifugal force. Its advantages
over the old methods of separation
are:
1. 1t takes practically all the but
ter fat and will save from FIVE to ten
dollars per COW each year over any
methods.
2. Skim milk has its greatest feed
ing value while warm, clean and
sweet.
3. The labor connected with the
care of the milk can be decreased
and the profits from the cows greatly
increased because a better quality OF
cream can be obtained.
A cream separator is an invest
ment and not an expense to anyone
who keeps five or six good cows, and
wants to make butter or sell cream.
A separator will often pay for itself
in one year, often In less time, &C
cording TO the number of cows kept.
With proper care and attention, a
cream separator WV last decade.

HOW WAR HAS AFFECTED ART
English Painters, for Livelihood,
Now Advised to Put "Pot-Boilers"
Before Their Patrons.

The other day a county-court
judge suggested to an artist, who
could not sell his pictures on account
of the war, that he should paint SEN
timental pot-boilers, for which, the
Judge said, there was a large demand
at present. We are familiar with
these pot-boilers in the shop windows
of certain quarters of London. They
are usually sold in "pairs," at prices,
including frame, varying from rs Cd
to los. Possibly the price has gone
up, since the frames known as Ger
man gilt" can no longer be available.
l once knew a painter of these works.
His special line was the cottage pond
and duck picture, with plenty OF
color in the sunset. He reckoned to
turn out from dozen to fifteen a

was a modest man, and did not cal
