DIFFICULT CHURNING
IN WINTER SEASON
Trouble Usually Caused by Incor-
rect Temperature or compO-
Sition of Some Milk.

by l. G. RINKLE, Missouri College of
Agriculture.)
Failure to get butter ITO come" by
stunning is not an uncommon expert
ence during the winter season. The
trouble most often occurs on those
farms where only a few cows are
MIXED. If the milk of one or two ami
mails Is responsible for the difficult
churnlng, other milk when mixed with
1t will overcome the trouble. Usually
when the trouble occurs 1t is due to
one OF two causes an incorrect churn-
ing temperature, or because of the pc
eIlInr composition of some milk and
cream.
During the cold months of the year
cream should be churned at a higher
temperature than during the summer
months. For this reason a careful
regulation of the temperature is neces-
saEy to give the proper ease in churn-
ing. If the temperature at which one
churns Is not high during the winter
months, the cream must be churned a
longer time to form butter. One may
ehurn at so low a temperature that
butter will not form with a reasonable
amount of churning. 1t is a very COM
nlon practice during the winter to- al
low the cream to become so cold that
1t will not churn.
Sometimes when cold cream is agi-
tuted In the churn 1t will whip and ex-
pand until the churn is nearly full.
In this condition butter will not form
because the cream cannot be sufficient
fy agitated. When a low temperature
OF the cream is the cause of difficult
ehurning the trouble may be easily cor
rected by raising the temperature. As
the winter season approaches there is
usually a larger number of strippeT
e0ws. When a COW becomes nearly
dry the butterfat gIobules In the milk

may therefore eat of the lupines day
after day without injury so long as the
amount consumed within a short pc
riod is not sufficient to poison their
systems.
Preventive Suggestions.
In regard to preventing the poison
ing of range sheep the specialists offer
the following suggestions:
Sheep should never be taken from
the cars to a pasture having much lu-
pine. 1t is cheaper to buy hay. After
long drives with insufficient forage
avoid grazing grounds which are COW
cred with lupine. If it is necessary
to drive sheep over lupine patches, do
not hurry them, but allow them to
spread out and drift across. Special
care should be taken In the fall, when
the grass may be covered by fall of
snow, since at such times the lupines
may be the only vegetation protruding
from the snow covering, and therefore
may be eaten in large quantities.
In the treatment of the fiOcks re-
member the general fact, which is APP
plicable in regard to all poisonous
plants, that well-fed sheep are not
likely to eat injurious plants. COndi-

More humus means less frequent
irrigation and it also means larger
crops. 1t seems almost a shame to
see most of our farmers cutting the
third crop of alfalfa, and then plow-
ing up the field. Whereas, IL this
blowing were done in the fall about
the time the third cutting was ready
to harvest, 1t would give this field
dressing of green manure which
would be invaluable for 1t. This Is
not theory at all. It has been dem

was a profitable practice with the an-

more so than either the pods or the
leaves. The poisonous character of
the plants is believed to be due to the
presence of alkaloids. Under ordi-
nary conditions on ranges well pro-
vided with grass, sheep can eat as
heartily of the lupines as they wish
without danger. Where the animals
are unusually hungry, however, and
are allowed to Craze where the plants
are abundant, there is danger that
poisoning will result. The poison is

Although the successful treatment of

MINOWS RAIN FROM SKY; BOYS FIND
 THEM IN SNOW

In the 1900 and 1900 block of School street, Chicago, weather talk isn't the last resort of bored social victims. Weather is the one hot topic. Books and bets are being made on it. Not any of that easy phenomena like equinocti- al storms or typhoons either.
 It's a piscatorial shower that has fused up the neighborhood. It rained fish in those two blocks the other day. Citizens of impeccable veracity assert it. And they can produce between six ty and seventy tiny minnows plucked out of the snow after the rain to prove it. The little fish were buried in the snow as if they had fallen considerable distance.
 Little Robert Hellwig of 1925 School street was the first to discover the fish rain" He ran into the house with two or three minnows he had found When other children began to find minnows their elders became ex- cited and joined the hunt In yards facing School street along these two blocks more than five dozen of the small fish were found
 Excited discussion developed as to how minnows made their appearance It was pointed out that the fishing season was closed, hence the improb- ability of the shower" being bait thrown away by some Izaak Walton.
 One man advanced the theory that the minnows were drawn up into the clouds in some warmer cline and there held by density until their filmy con- veyance was driven northward to dis solve in rain over Chicago.
 However, no explanation satisfactory to all was advanced, and thus the wea- ther remains as warm a subject as ever in School street (despite the fact it's January) )--Chicago Tribune.

LAUGHS AT RANK
 AND IS GREAT LEvELER
(Kansas City Star)

Carlyle in famous passage of his French revolution stations his reader at point where he can see the rep ] resentatives of the three estates as they march in procession at the open ing of the question: Which of these men will become the leader of the rest?
 l When the war broke out in Europe two and a half years ago and the armies rushed to the frontiers under i generals of great name and reputa- tion it might not have appeared diff i ficult to find an answer to a similar question. Yet any answer probably
 would have been a wrong one, for perhaps without exception, no high command in the armies of any bel 1 ligerent will be the same when the war ends as it was when it began. 1 Great names and great regulations have been buried in the smoke and l dust of battle and will leave no deep CT mark on the history of the great war than the trenches that have been obliterated by the high explosives of the laundering guns.
 l The name of Moltke was a great one in August, 1914. It was great by tradition and believed great on other grounds. He was the brain of the German army organization. The world had heard and believed the story of that other Moltke who had only to direct a subordinate to open an envelope in certain pigeon hole in his desk and the necessary orders would be found to launch the Prussian armies on Paris. Something like that was looked for again, but instead, the name of Moltke passed presently out of the dispatches and that Falken- hayn came in. Then came Verdun, and Falkenhayn gave way to Hinden- burg, the victor of the east. No verdict has yet been reached or can be reach ed on these events
 The world has only the barest facts
 In the English and Russian high commands the changes were no less rapid. Sir John French's exploit in saving the British army at Mons was
 hailed as a masterly stroke, but when the British quit retreating and began 10 advance they were under another general. Scarcely a name made fla mililiar in the Russian first offensive has been heard of in the new. The Grand Duke Nicholas was sent to Ar menia and General Brussilof appeared in Galicia.
 In France alone has the high com mand stood unbroken since the begin ming. The name of General Joffre had come to represent to the world every. thing that had seemed successful, pa- Itient and dogged in the French defense. His was the personality of the war that had seemed close and real to the rest of the world. And now in the inex- orable shaking down and stripping down process of the fighting nations.
