Appeal Made for Subscriptions.

On behalf of the local committee. OF
which Charles Henry Butler is chairman !;
DR.. George F. Bowerman, vice chairman !;
John Joy Edison. treasurer and William
J. Hamilton. secretary, an appeal for fur
ther and larger subscriptions toward the
$4,000 quota of the District of Columbia
has been extensively circulated and signed
by a number of prominent citizens. includ
ing the officers of the committee and
Clarence A Aspinwall. Charles J. Bell.
Frank G. Carpenter. Charles @. Glover.
Mrs. Gilbert II. Grosvenor, Mrs. Julian
James, Hennen Jennings, A Lisner, Frank
B. Noyes, Theodore W. Noyes, Julius l.
Peyser. Herbert Putnam, Thorvald Sol
berg and others. every one of whom has
contributed at least $100.
The appeal urges those who can do so
to give 800 or to make an effort to
raise that amount among their friends.
Subscriptions for several thousand dol
lars already have been received. and If
every one will make an effort to give or
soon will be raised. Subscriptions
can be sent to John Joy Edison. treas
urer. at the Public Library. or left at
any bank in the city.
Total of $72o, 900 Reported.
A total of $4,000 toward the s1.ooo.-
900 has been reported to the library
war council here. with many returns still
far from complete. 1t was stated to-
day that many cities have planned to
extend the campaign through several
days of this week.
Although the campaign was planned
to collect in dollars only per cent
of the population OF each town ap-
preached. probably fifty places large
and small. have. exceeded this sum.
Thirty-eight cents per CAPITA. reported
by Goble. Ore. is the highest per capita
collection yet reported. while the
neighboring town Of Antelope reports
an average Of 81 cents per capita.
Washington, n. Y. was one of the. first
to report collections over Its quota, with
the figure at 80 cents per capita.
Work in Other Cities.
Boston this morning reported $4,000
Of its $4,000 goal raised. while Chi
cago has more than half OF the 500, 900
it set out to collect. New York has
not yet quite reached the 100000 mark
in its s250,O00 campaign, but its COL
did not start until late last
week, so this figure. it is believed, is
still far from what the final total will
be. All of these dities are continuing to
push their campaigns and each expects
to reach Its goal within the next few
days.
Providence. R. l.. and Portland. Ore.
with collections Of $4,000. each, stand
highest among the medium sized cities.
while Washington. D. c., and Youngs-
town, Ohio. each with $1,000. are close

Conference Action Criticised.

Much private criticism against the

tors today. but it appeared certain that
the report would be approved after one
or two days sharp discussion Should
the House dispose Of the bill today, Sem
ator Simmons plans 70 call 1t up in the
Senate tomorrow with the hope Of its
disposal not later than Wednesday.
Most Of the Senate structures are upon
the second-class mail provision. Sena-
tor Smoot of Utah has been asked by
many publishers to lead a fight in an
effort to have the bill returned to con-
ference for complete elimination or at
least reduction of the conferees' rates
Senate leaders have been advised. how
ever. that while an attempt may be
made to reduce the rates there is lit
tie prospect of success.
The compromise Of war excess profits
appeared to have general approval
among senator's. but many object to
the first-class mail tax and compromises
on automobiles and other manufac-
lures.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE
CHURNABELITY OF CREAM
Interestingly Set Forth by Prof. judi
kins of State Agricultural College.

klnS of state agricultural Sole9es
The old saying, 1.-THE world was not
made in a minute also applies to the
making of good butter. Under no con-
ditions can butter be properly churn-
ed in five to ten minutes. A half
| quired to get butter to come in a
beautiful granular form with the but
termilk testing 2 per cent. or less.
The factors affecting the length of
churning may be placed under three
| head
~ Factors Pertaining to the Pro-
duction of the Milk and Cream from
Which the Butter is Made.
~ Breed Of Cow. The fat glo-
bules in the milk of different breeds
are not the same size. Those Of the
Jersey and Guernsey breeds are larger
than those of the Holstein and Ayr
shire breeds. Since cream containing
large fat globules will churn more
readily than cream containing small
globules, cream from Jersey and
Guernsey milk will churn more easily
other conditions being the same
p Stage Of Lactation. Toward the
Is tier part of lactation the fat globules
become very minute and hence cream
from strippers milk churns with diff
iculty.
CD Season of the Year. In the
winter time it is natural for the fat
and there is usually little or no rise in
temperature during the churning pro-
cess. Hence cream does not churn as
easily in the winter time.
"a Feed. A ration without anv
srcculence in 1t, such as corn siiage.
beets, or beet pulp, is conductive to
the production of hard butter fat gIo-
bules and hence to difficult churnfng.
CD Size of the Herd. Difficult
churning occurs most frequently when
the herd is small, one to five cows. In
the small herd the factors above mem
toned are apt to play an important
to be recl<oned with in the case of the
small herd. The cream from certain

POULTRY HOUSE VENTILATION.
Combination Glass and Cloth Front
| Give Best Results.

| At this season Of the year, the ques-
| ton of poultry house ventilation again
| confronts the poultrymen.
The King system of ventilation
seems to be entirely satisfactory in a
| cow barn, but in a poultry house the
| demand for fresh air is so much great
| er and the heat given off by the birds
! is so much less, that the same princi-
PIE does not seem to apply The hen
does not give off body moisture by
| means of perspiration nor does she
give off moisture by means of urine,
consequently the breath, which is the
orly means left, must be heavily sat
| urated. The removal of this moisture
laden, foul, cold air presents a very
preplexing problem.
Houses of all kinds have been built
front or greenhouse type to the ex-
treme, open front, or so-ca1led fresh
air house.
At the present time poultry authori-
ties consider that a combination of
glass and cloth give the best results
Successful houses may be of many
different types, and different ventilat-
ing systems may be used, provided a
few definite principles are followed
The roof of the house should be as
low as caring for the birds will per-
nit thus reducing the number of cubic
feet of air space per bird. Low houses
are warmer, and more Of the front
All open or cloth fronts should be
located on the south side Of the house
and should be well up from the floor
Low openings allow cold winds to
blow in on the floor of the house
Glass windows, If used. should be
placed at either end Of colony house
and at either end or below the open
SPACE in each section Of a long house.
Either windows or open front should
be so located that the SUN may reach
every part of the interior of the
house at some time during the day.
Each section In a long house should
be divided by a cloth curtain or tight
board partition. Long houses with
out wind brakes are cold and drafty.
Cloth curtains or windows on the
south side of the house should not be
entirely closed except in very severe
weather, and then only when the cur
tains are very thin. A curtain which
slides UP from the bottom on the out
side Of the house Is very desirable, as
keep out q driving storm Houses
should be well aired out each day,
even though the curtains may be open
only short time.
When frost collects on any part of
the interior Of the house, more venti-
IL ton is needed. "A eeod test for rnois-
ture can be made by trying to blow
dust from the sill OF ether woodwork
house is dry, II not, moro ventilation is
needed. A dry wall and roof give con-
siderable protection against cold, but

STAFFORD SPRINGS.

Stafford Springs has had a fairly
busy building year. The most i'm
portant building put up in 1916 is
the new mill of the Stafford worsted
company, erected on the site Of the
Faulkner mill, which was burned a
few years ago. This is a two-story
brick structure of modern AL con-
struction, with concrete foundations.
The plant is already in operation
and employs several hands in the
manufa cture of worsted yarns. The
new two story exhibition building at
the Stafford fairgrounds, at a cost
Ct $4,000, is a beauty, and furnished
employment to a large force of brick
layers, carpenters and masons dur
ing the early fall.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

individuals may always churn with
difficulty. When cream comes from
mixed milk of a larger herd, the vari-
atoms due to individuality are COW
cred up.
(6) Thickness of Cream. Cream
which tests 20 per cent. or less churns
with greater difficulty than a 80 to 80
per cent. cream, simply because the
butter fat particles are nearer togeth-
er in the 80 per cent. cream. One
should aim to make a 80 per cent.
cream for butter making. Without a
separator this is, OF course, impossible
and a man without a separator is more
liable to exercise difficulty in churn-
ing at various times Too thick cream
is not desirable as it sticks to the
churn and churns with difficulty.
~ Factors Pertaining to the Hand
ling of Cream.
% Bacterial Contamination. 1t
sometimes happens, although cases are
rare, that cream becomes contaminat-
ed with certain ferments which cause
1t to froth and foam and makes
churning an impoSsibility.
CD Sourness OF Cream. Although
sour cream looks thicker than sweet
cream, it is less sticky and the fat
more easily from sour cream than
from sweet Team.
90 Churning Temperature. In all
probability u large proportion of the
cases of difficult churning are due to
the fact that the butter maker does
rot possess and use a good dairy Their
mometer. No definite churning tenn
perature can be given to apply to all
cases. In general, on the farm, the
churning temperatures should be So
degrees T. in summer, and SO degrees
to 65 degrees F. in winter.
(s) Factors Pertaining to the churn-
ing Process.
@F oh
should be of the barrel or combined
type and be so built as to give pro-
per conclusion. In case of the barrel
churn the slaves should be nearly
around in the churn rather than rise
and fall.
(2) FuIIness of the Churn To Sc
cure best results the churn should
never be filled more than one-half full
OF cream. To get butter to come
there must be cSncussion. There is
no room for it in the churn that is too
full. Neither will the butter come
easily in a churn that has but very
little cream in it, due to the fact that
cream simply coats and sticks On to
the sides Of the churn-
6 The Speed OF the Churn. The
speed should be such that the cream
can be heard to rise and fall with each
revolution of the churn. Too slow
speed means that the cream simply
flows from one end of the churn to the
other, while to fast speed means that
the cream is held stationary in one
end of the churn-
A Combination of Circumstances.
More often a combination OF some
of the factors above mentioned cause
difficult churning. For example, a
man with one COW, well advanced in
lactation, in the winter time, raising
CT cam by gravity, feeding corn stovcr,
timothy hay, gluten and bran. and
cfurning in a churn that is large
