CHURNING 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
temperature of SO degrees Fahren-
heit until two days before churning,
when it should be placed where the
temperature is about Is degrees Fair
enheit.
The cream should be kept at So to
SO degSees Fahrenheit during churn-
ing time and when the butter collects
into small nut sizes The buttermillS
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 a fiat board and strew the
salt over it uniformly and work just
enough to distribute the salt evenly
throughout the butter.

Al the canyon portal, where the forest
Trimmed away and left him standing
at the head of the final descending
plunge in the trail, he found himself
looking down upon the explanation Of
the curious apparition.
None the less, what he saw was in
itself rather inexplicable. In the first
desert looping of the river campfire
Of pinyon knots was blazing cheerfuly.
and beside it, with picnic hamper for
table, sat supper party of three
TWO men and woman--in enveloping
dust-coats, and a third man in ehauf-
feur leather serving the sitters. Back
OF the group, and with its detachable
searchlight missing, stood huge tour
ing car to account for the picnic ham
per, the dust-coats, the man in leather.
and, doubtless, for the apparitional eye
which had appeared and disappear ed
at the mouth of the upper gorge. Also
1t accounted, in a purely physical
sense, for the presence OF the picni,.k-
ers, though the within which had led
them to cross the desolate Buekskin
desert for the dubious pleasure of MAX
ing an all-night bivouac ON its eastern
edge was not so readily apparent.
The young engineer saw no reason
why he should intrude upon the group
! at the cheerful campfire On the con.
trary, he began speedily to find good
and sufficient reasons why he should
not. That the real restraining motive
was sudden attack of desert shyness
he would not have admitted. But the
fact remained. Four years in the rec
lamation service had made the good
looking young chief of construction a
man-queller of quality. But each year
of isolation had done something
toward weakening the social ties.
A loosened pebble turned the scale.
When bit of the coarse grained sand
stone of the trail rolled under Brouil-
lard's foot and went gathering down
to plunge into the stream the man in
the chauffeur leather reached for the
searchlight lantern and directed it's
beam upon the canyon portal But by
/ that time Brouillard had sought the
shelter of the scrub pines and was re-
tracing his steps up the shoulder of

DEVICE TO SEPARATE CREAM
Machine viii Often Pay for 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 simultaneously
by centrifugal force. Its advantages
over the old methods OF separation
ara:
l. 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, ac-
cording to the number OF cows kept.
With proper care and attention,
cream separator will last a decade.

plosion was too heavy to figure as a

an accident of some sort-possibly the
blowing up of the automobile.

alarm which bad brought him two
miles out of his way
had been the discharge of a stick Of
dynamite thrown into the Niquoia for
the flsh-killing purpose. In his code

a high crime. But the two on the trail
