BUTTER WITH CHEEsY TASTE
Trouble Usually Due to Decomposition
of Curd-DeveIops Frequently
Where Salt Is Low.

'. N..A
Cheese taste in butter is usually due
to a decomposition of curd. 1t is most
likely to appear in butter made from
cream which has become too sour or
it may also be due to failure to wash
the buttermilk and curd from the but
ter after %churning. 1t seems to de-
velop more frequently in butter which
Is low in salt.
If it has been the practice to allow
the cream to become quite sour be-
fore c%hurning, churning before so much
acid has developed may help to rem
edy the trouble. When churning has
been completed, draw off all of the
buttermilk then add to the butter in
the churn an amount of water equal
to that Of the buttermilk. The temper
ature of the water should be about two
degrees less than that of the butter
milk. Give the churn several revolu-
lions in order to rinse the butter thor
oughly and then draw off the water.
This removes the surplus buttermilk
and curd in the butter. It is also a
good practice to strain the cream as 1t
Is poured into the churn. Some curd
will be removed in this way.

Find Relies Of Saxon KINGS.


Capt. Vaughan Williams Of Old
Windsor has discovered what he be-
to be the site Of the palace Of
the Saxon kings and the pre-conquest
town Of Windsor. 1t is believed that
there once stood at Old Windsor the
palace of Edward the Confessor, but
although several Saxon urns have been
excavated here from time to time the
actual position of the palace has never
been decided.
Tighe and Davis, in their ANNALS Of
Windsor" say that Old Windsor was
probably selected by the Saxon kings
as a residence for the same reason as
it was subsequently repurchased by
William the Conqueror, on account Of
itssconvenience for hunting in the for
est. The lands Of Windsor, granted by
Edward the Confessor and exchanged
by the abbot of Westminster with VIII
liam, appear to have had reference to
Old Windsor, and did not include the
site of the present town or castle. King
William held Old Windsor as his own
demesne.

ROOTS GOOD FOR DAIRY COW
Owing to High Percentage Of Water In
Them Large Quantity Must BE
Fed Every Day.

Roots are good feed for dairy cat
tie, but owing to the high percentage
of water in them-from 81 to 80 per
cent-a large quantity must be fed
daily if these are to take the place
of the grain ration. Roots may be
fed in almost unlimited quantity with
out danger to the animals. These r
like grass in summer, but in feeding
economy must be considered. In gen.
eral from 6 to s pounds Of roots should
be fed for every three pounds of milk.
But, where roots bring a high price
on the market, it may often be profit
able to sell these and to buy grain.
AS a rule two feeds a day are. suf-
ficient. For the very highest possible
production, it may be advisable to feed
oftener but, if the COWS are given 'all
that they can clean up twice a day,
they will usually be contented be-
tween meals.

AND WHAT THEY EAT
Crackers Thrive on Almost Any Form
Of Animal Life Small Enough to
Be Seized and Swallowed.

The food Of the frog consists Of
e%arthworms, insects, spiders and any
form Of animal life small enough to
be seized and swallowed. Large frogs
will often devour their smaller rela-
tives. The big bullfrog is an especial
~ dangerous ehemy to other members
Of its kind. 1t has been known even
to eat small birds. Some frogs are
fond of snails and will swallow them
shells and all, says Boys Life.
1t Is interesting to note that frogs
can eat bees and wasps notwithstand-
ing the sting. In Selling food it usu-
ally makes use Of it's curious extern
sile tongue, which can be thrust out
of the mouth with surprising rapidity.
The tongue is attached to the front Of
the jaw, it's forked "a end free so
that it can be tipped out of the mouth.
1t is supplied with a sticky secretion
that picks up the food. The frog can
not see an object re- to itself. Any
dangling bait should, therefore, be at
a distance of from two to three feet.
Frogs may be caught by dangling
small bits of red yarn before them on
a hook and sometimes wen without a
hook. When the yarn is seized the ami
NAL may be jerked out of the water.
Bullfrogs kept in captivity readily at
tempt to swallow ones fingers.

seer's Words Considered Infallib,e.

No n doubts the fortune teller in
China. His word is regarded as infal-
lible. When he becomes rich on the
offerings of the credulous, the Chinese
reader of the future installs himself in
luxurious apartments. There, in a
darkened room, the wealthy visit him
just IS the coolie did on the street.
Even a westerner becomes impressed
with the n Of mysticism when he
enters one Of these chambers. About
the wall hang red and black curtains,
embroidered with Chinese characters.
Strange, hideous faces of bronze idols
peer from dim recesses; wavering
lights flicker and cast protentous shad-
iows. Spiral rings Of incense ascend
and evolve into mysterious shapes.
In the center of the room sits the
specialized oracle. Before he talks
some one in the distance begins beat
ing tom.toms; there are ghostly cries
as he consults the spirits, but as he
1?4ns to speak in a monotone other
sounds discontinue and one can almost
hear the knees Of the superstitious pa
irons knocking together in the semi
darkness.

TIMES AND PLACE FOR SLEEP
Churches and Street Cars Are Favored
But the Cozy Bed Affords a
Most Delightful Pastime.

There are lots of people who say
they don't sleep well at night. But
there are many who regularly go to
sleep in the street car. Of course,
those who go to sleep in church are
not counted. That might be construed
as libel, observes the Milwaukee News.
But why do perfectly healthy folks
want to sleep in street cars? Is it a
protest against the wistful-eyed strap
hanger who gazes at their large and
apathetic laps? Is it mere whim, de-
string to shut out the events of the
day and snatch a quiet moment Of
dreaming as a respite?
1t is often mere pie, just a rampant
Indigestion. 1t is also the bad air due
to offices that d~evitalize the worker
compelled to breathe it eight hours.
1t is also due to the terrible habit of
shutting all available car windows in
dread of that fresh air which is the
best friend a workingman has.
Going to sleep is a delightful pas
time-at night, in bed with the proper
accompaniment of pillows and para
%phernalia. 1t is exotic in the daytime,
save as a mere relaxation for a few
minutes after luncheon, which is a
good habit, and seldom, therefore, fol
lowed.

Troops Defy Tropical Heat.

Recent experiments by the British

which had been previously treated to
Withstand the ultraviolet rays. II was

Hoke Smith Of Georgia, Daniel 8. La
mont and william F. Bissel1 Of New
York, Judson Harmon Of Ohio and 6ter-
ling Morton of Nebraska. None Of them
had ever held national Office before.
The claim, often put forward by his
friends, that Mr.. Cleveland was . good
Judge Of men Is well supported by q
reference to his two cabinets. The ms
iority Of his "tinds" developed well. Mr..
Whitney's administration Of the Navy
Department gave the Navy = "boost";
and subsequently he became . power in
New York politics, and used his power
in Mr. Cleveland's behalf. Col. Villas
made reputation, first as Postmaster Gen.
eral and then as Secretary of the In
terror, and on the strength Of it was
elected to the Senate, where he served
a term with distinction. Mr.. Dickinson
did not hold office after 1889. but was.
to the end. prominent in the Law.
His "fnds" in the second cabinet also
abnndantly justified his judgment. Mr..
Olney found his opportunity. not in the
attorney generalship. to which he was
first appointed. but in the secretaryship
of state, to which he succeeded upon the
death Of Judge Gresham. He is men
toned among the strong men who have
held that place. He did not retire from
notice when he retired from Office, and
was offered the mbassadorship to Great
Britain by Mr. Wilson four years ago.
Mr.. Smith in time was elected Governor
OF Georgia, and is now a senator from
that state. When Col. Lamont retired
from the War Department he became a
figure in the railway world, and Judge
Harmon served two terms as Governor
of Ohio, and received votes for the pres
idential nomination at Baltimore in 1912.
Mr.. Dickinson and Col. Villas were rep
resentative Of the fighting spirit Of the
northwest democracy. The former was
an organizer and negotiator. the latter
an orator capable of high flights when
the topic appealed to him. While in the

Somewhere beneath the skies Of France,
Fair land of story and romance
The mighty legions locked in strife
Her sons are battling for her life;
There crashing thunders shake the ground
While echo shudders AT the sound.
Somewhere beneath the stars of France
A soldier lies beaide his lance;
His brow upturned to heavens blue dome,
He dreams Of happier days and home:
And while at restful ease he sleeps.
A mother here in silence weeps.
She held him safe within her arms
From childhood's terrors and alarms;
And now when swiftly passing time
Had brought him to youths noble prime.
She sent him forth to Join the fght
For Freedom. Justice and the Right.
LEnvoi.
Nay all good angels guard his sleep,
And have him in their holy keep;
Help him to hold the narrow way,
And shun the paths that lead astrhy;
So that his soul shall bear no stain
0hould he be numbered with the slain.
