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

tBy l.. G. RINKI,E, Missouri College of
 Agricultural
 Failure to get butter ito come" by churning is not an uncommon eXperi- ence during the winter season. The trouble most often occurs on those farms where only q few cows are milked. If the milk of one or two ani- mals is responsible for the difficult cburning. 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 culiar composition of some milk and cream.
 During the cold months of the year cream should be churned at higher temperature than during the summer months. For this reason careful regulation of the temperature is neees- sary 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 longer time to form butter. One may
 
 butter will not form with reasonable amount of churning. It is very com mon practice during the winter to- al- low the cream to become so cold that 1t will not ehurn.
 Sometimes when cold cream is agi- tated 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 ly agitated. When low temperature of the cream is the cause of difficult churning the trouble may be easily cor rected by raising the temperature. As the winter season approaches there is usually a larger number of stripper cows. When Il COW becomes nearly dry the butterfat globules in the milk become very small and collect with great difficulty on being agitated In the

There's another kind of fascinating

There's another kind of fascinating woman that the world never hears about These are wives who have neither beauty, wit nor any accom- plishment to speak of. Such wives bend all the energies of heart and soul to make themselves pleasing to the men who have led them to Hymen's al- tar. Their smiles, endearing words, thoughtful acts, which lead to his com fort and pleasure, are all for him. They do not care for or want the ad- miration of the outside world of men. Harmless fiirtations or platonic friend ships make no appeal to them. They are wrapped up in the love of home and the man with whom it is shared. His smile or word of praise makes their sunshine, his want of apprecia- tion their gloom. Such husband never hears the outside world say: "He has a fascinating wife" Every woman is fascinating in her own way. Some shine in public to be ad mired by many; others light is only for those in home, dear home. When you see a handsome, brilliant man, united to q plain, diffident wife, you shouldn't wonder what he could pos sibly find to like about her. If you were to ask him, he would tell you: "She is q home queen-I am king of her heart"

FRUIT GROWING IS BUSINESS
Sooner Fact Is Realized and Dabblers Get Out Wide Punctuation of
 Prices Will Cease.

Orcharding is business proposi- tion, from start to finish, and the soon- CT this is realized and the dabblers get out the sooner will it become a profit able business, and the wide variation of prices during any one season will be u thing of the past.
 Holding fruit to prevent a glut in the market is legitimate, no doubt, but holding it to boom prices beyond a req sonable profit basis is not legitimate, and intelligent management on the part of the growers can do much to prevent 1t.

In nine cases out of ten, 1t is an unfor- tunate affair of misplaced love. The cheap alEnight dancing places have much to answer for the open doorway through which innocence passes and is lost.
 Wrong kinds of women companions are quite as great q menace to the maidens as to the youths. Many peo pie erroneously think that it is in the company of male friend at res taurant that a young girl is usually induced to take her first glass of liq- uor. But this is not so. Many girl can trace the habit of drunkenness to women friends who decoyed her into taking the first social glass. Parents and guardians believe their girl is safe if she is calling upon young woman friend. This friend is generally lit tie older than the girl; much jollier and gains an influence over the girl who hungeys for friendship, when this woman sets forth cake and wine in her own apartment, it is usually easy for her to beat down girls scruples to partake of it. When wine Is in, wit is out. She has acquired the taste for it. Innocence quickly fades before worldly experiences. If the girl has been ambitious to shine, poverty being her stumbling block, the lure of fine clothes and easy life, has led to her undoing.

If man commences to flatter a are introduced, she should not take it for granted that all he says is Cos pei truth. It seems strange to sensi- ble men what success these datterers have in ingratiating themselves into the good will and afterwards the hearts of women.
 There are men who make q study of making soft speeches to innocent, un- suspecting women. They take good care to flatter only the woman who they think will stand for it. If she takes kindly to what she deems con- pliment, they grow bolder. It does not take long for the adroit tiatterer to make headway. He is seldom or never a man whose heart is touched by women. He has an eye usually to wealth. His creed is that man can win with flattering tongue, within q few months time, q fortune by wed- ding; whereas, if he attempted to make u fortune by hard, noble industry, he would live his life out in poverty.
 Poor girls, he finds, are on the alert against fatteters. Young women of wealth are not so wary. He gives such girl the impression that it was case of intense interest with him the first instant he saw her. After the first glance, he could not forget the blue of her eyes and the first words she uttered. He finds nine women out of ten are pleased to hear that And he is amused secretly at their foolishness in believing it. It is his belief that women dote on tiattery.
 It never occurs to them that he is using the same speeches over and over again to every woman Ee meets. What woman suspects him of telling fib when he whispers ardently to her that of anyone he ever met? That it is heaven on earth to be by her side? She may be as homely as q hedge fence, and know it; but he can actu- ally make her believe that he thinks her quite a beauty, clever and charm ing. She may look fright in this hat or that one, but d flatterer never makes the mistake of telling her the plain truth.
 Womenkind, as a rule, do not take kindly to unvarnished truths. Wom- en who take to tiattery as duck to water never choose Il plain, blunt, out spoken man for lover. 1t is q we'll known fact that after q fiatterer weds girl of wealth. and he has weedled her into giving him the reins of her fortune in part, or generally in its en- tirety, his fiattery stops short. At that stage of the game she is pretty apt to hear his actual opinion of her. He wastes no time in idle sophistries. It is needless to say the woman who lends a willing ear to the fatterer gen. orally rues it. His pretended inter- est in her is shortlived. Even the most obtuse observers of men and their manners cannot help but discover this, soon or late. She finds she has trust ed man who is not worth woman's love and devotion.
 This type of men will flourish as long as women will pay heed to them. When q stranger begins to tiatter, it is seldom best to allow his acquaintance to ripen into friendship.
