I have a COW that gives rich milk. but the

tell me what is the troubleF
II is not surprising that the butter
from your COW should be soft at this
season of the year. The weather mas
been extremely warm and this tends to
cause the butter to break down, or run
as we commonly say. All that you can
do to harden it will be to proceed some
what as follows: When the milk is
drawn il should be cooled to temper
allure of not higher than so degrees. To
accomplish this ii will call for large
quantities of spring water at rela-
lively low temperature, or ice. Some
times a running spring may be avail
able in which the milk can be placed in
rather deep buckets known to the trade
as shotgun cans. AS soon as the cream
separates properly from the milk which
will be over night, gather the cream
and hold in containers in the spring
water or in water cooled with ice. In
the course of a couple of days the acid
flavor will develop in the cream. This
is known as the Tactic acid flavor. When
this appears you should churn the
cream.
During the churning process try to
keep the temperature at So degrees or
below When there is evidence that the
butter is coming pour into the churn
gallon or so of ice water. This will
cause a better separation of the fat
from the milk serum and will tend to
make the butter firm. When the butter
is fully granulated remove and work
and keep on ice until ready for use.
There are no artificial means you can
use to harden butter beyond that sug-
gested. To accomplish the ends indi-
Gated you should obtain a dairy Their
mometer. This will aid you very ma
terially in producing a butter of fine
texture even in warm weather, because
then you can maintain the temperature
which has been suggested.
Butter can be firmed to some extent
in the summer by feeding considerable
quantities of cottonseed meal. L OBJ
serve that you say you are using this
Do not use an excessive amount of ii,
however, as it might prove injurious to
your COW. We think not more than 3
to 5 pounds should be fed to a COW
weighing 1000 pounds, even where she
is provided with green feed of the
character indicated in your letter and
is to be maintained on this ration for a
long period of time.

TO- REVEAL
SOME HIDDEN FACTS
Lloyd George Consid-
ers Course Unavoida-
BILE, Says Writer.
TO SPEAK ON CRISIS TODAY
Debate to Range Over Charges
Against Government in Relation
With Army.

London, May 8.-As a conse-
quence of the political situation
brought about by Gen. Maurice's
letter, Premier Lloyd-George, ac-
cording to the lobby correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph, considers it
unavoidable to disclose facts which
have been withheld up to this time
for military reasons. The Premier,
it is added, intends to give facts
and figures when he speaks on the
Asquith motion on Thursday.
As the result of the cabinets de-
cision to withdraw its offer to ap-
point two judges to inquire into the
charges made by Major-Gen. Maui
rice, former. chief director of mill
tary operations at the war office, in
which the yeracity Of ministers of
the government was impugned, and
the y determination of the cabinet not
to accept an inquiry by a select
committee, as suggested in the mo-
ton made by former Premier As
quith, tomorrow's debate in the
House of Commons probably range
over all the old charges against the
government in its relations with the
army.
The absence of the Irish Nation
alists also will help the government,
for in addition to their dissatisfaction
with the governments Irish policy
there are among them severe critics
of the war cabinets relations with
the army.

NO SHORTAGE OF MACHINE
GUNS, SAYS SECRETARY
Result Of Mr.. Bakers Announce
. ment in Germany and Austria VIII
Be Watched With Much

Washington, May s.-Revealing
for the first time the extent to which
American troops are pouring toward
the battle front, Secretary of War
Baker early this evening authorized
the statement that General Pershing
now has more than half million
soldiers. .,..
He gave out the following state
ment:
"In January I told the Senate
committee that the strong likelihood
was that early in the present year
100000 American troops would be
dispatched to France. I can not
even now, or later, discuss in detail
further movements of troops to
France. I am able to say that my
forecast, made in January, has been
passed" ...
ANo ShoEtoSC u S1uhSs
AS result of a personal investi-
cation of machine gun production
during the past few days, the Secre-
tary announced that there is no
present shortage of light or heavy
types of these weapons either in
France or America, and no shortage
is in prospect.
Mr.. Baker said there has been no
question brought up as to the sup
plies of light type Browning gun,
which were coming forward in guam
titles. He would not say whether
shipment of these guns to Frnace
had been started.
Rushing Men Across. "
There has been repeated official
announcements, however, that the
government is bending every ener-
gy to rushing men across to back up
the Allied line in France, and off,
GERS directly in charge of the trans
portation have expressed satisfac-
tion with the progress being made.

4O-YEAR DRAFT AGE
UNDER DISCUSSION
Matter Considered d by
Crowder and House
Committee.
1872, 900 FOR THE DRAFT
Registration of Those Reaching Fl
Will Require Examination of
100000 More.
l5,762,000 FOR THE DRAFT

Washington, May s.-Legislation
raising the draft age to forty years
was discussed as a possibility with
in a few months at meeting today
of Provost Marshal Genral Crowder
and the House military committee
Although Gen. Crowder made no
specific recommendations, members
of the committee said afterwards
that the War Department was con-
sidering a plan for changes.
An appropriation of S15,762,000
was asked by Gen. Crowder for ex-
penses of the draft for the next fs-
cal year. Registration of men reach
ing the age of 21 will require the
examination, he said, of half mil
lion more men than originally pro-
yided for. Class 1, the general said
now has a total of about 2,265,0OO
men, of whom 100000 are effec-
tives. .-..
No Credit for Volunteers.
Chairman Dent, of the committee,
announced today that he would ask
the House to eliminate from the
draft legislation pending an amend
ment giving States credit for volun-
teers.
"It is estimated" Gen. Crowder
said, "that it will be necessary to
examine 100000 men in addition
to those already examined, including
men who were minors at the date of
the first registration and who will
have to be classified in Class 1 be-
fore June 80, 1919."

Confederate Veterans
of State End Meeting
Here Wednesday
Evening.
OLD WARHORSES TALK
OF MODERN FIGHTING
Columbia Man Elected Commander
of Division-Indorse Wilson
Administration.
Correspondent to, The. Greenville
Daily News

Correspondent to- The Greenville
Daily News.)
Abbeville, May 7.-"Boys," said
an old man in gray uniform in a
speech to his comrades here today,
"boys, we are too old now to fight
for the nation"
"No! No! we can still fight"
shouted a score of the gra-haired
men who sat before him, the old
fire in their eyes.
It was "rhe Star Spangled Ban
ner", the national anthem of the
nation against which they once
fought with deathless valor that
opened the meeting of the annual
reunion of the Confederate Veter-
ans of the Palmetto State here to-
day in this historic city, at once the
cradle and the deathbed Of the Con-
federacy. It was that same starry
ensign that fioated on high in the
hall Of assembly, fanked on every
side -I,y-the-Stars. and Bars of the
short-lived nation whose lifeblood
ebbed out at Appomattox.
In an eloquent address Gen. Mil
ledge L. Bonham declared at the
morning session that he felt certain
that had the Confederate States Of
America continued their existence
until today, they would have been
fighting sid by side with the United
States against Germany. AT any
rate, it is quite obvious that those
who are left in South Carolina OF
that glorious array of militant man
hood that wore the gray are heart
and soul behind the republic in the
world war.
Those old fellows-several of them
facetiously referred to themselves
as "old devils"-let no opportunity
slip to manifest their complete sup
port of the nation. When Governor
Richard I. Manning praised President
Wilson, they applauded vigorously;
when he denounced spies and trail
tors and slackers, they were no less
emphatic in their expression OF ap-
prival. When Gen. c. Irvine wal
ker said that the old Confeds ought
to teach their fighting grandsons the
aRebel Yell' so that it would scare
Won Hindenburg's men to deatn'
they gave that very yell. Some
Youngsters in khaki looked Or admir-
ingly.
Time was when at Confederate
reunion held in Abbeville it is more
than likely that the national colors
would not have figured in the deco
rations, but yesterday they were OF
ten seen. For it was in Abbevllle
that the first Secession meeting was
held and there that the last Cabinet
meeting of the Confederacy took
place. Its public square is. now a
great mass of Confederate and ma
tional flags, while the court house
and the opera house are likewise
adorned. 1t is a beautiful sight.
The Governors Speech.
Governor Richard I. Manning, who
has never missed a reunion since he
has been in office, was one of the
principal speakers yesterday morn
ing. Judge ]. Fuller Lyon, a veter-
an whose bravery is attested by an
empty sleeve, in presenting the gov
ernor referred to the fact that he
has six sons in the army. The old
Confeds and the rest of the audi
ence applauded very heartily. This
evidently touched the governor, for
with a catch in his voice he said at
the outset of his speech: eyes,

The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-08-06

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6-The allied
war council would warn the people in
this country IS well as those III Great
Britain, France and Italy against over,
confidence as the tide continues to
turn in favor of the allied armies
Cablegrams bearing such warning
have been sent from Paris during the
last twenty-four hours to all the allied
capitals. The danger of the day, as
the men who make up the war council
of the allied nations see it, is that the
present allied advance may result IN
relaxation in both efforts and effect
According to the men who are manag
ing the war for the allies, there must
be no relaxation, for now is the time
of all times when every sort OF wal
activity must go ahead at greater
speed than ever before.
More German Propaganda.
Here in the United States, according
to dispatches that have been received
here from various parts of the country
there is already noted this tendency tc
relax. Some of this change Of thought
the authorities believe is chargeable tc
German propaganda, but the fact thai
the allied armies have been steadily
pressing forward since July Is has had
the effect Of starting much talk among
unthinking people to the effect that
the war will soon be over. According
to the information now coming in this
sort of talk is gaining Roadway in
the army camps and cantonments and
it is being INDUCED in by all classes
of people outside the military camps.
Nothing More Dangerous
AS the authorities here see it nc
more dangerous propaganda could be
fostered at the present time. Great as
is the allied victory in the present
drive, it should be understood by ev
erybody that it is only beginning OF
the great task that is yet to be per
formed.
The military situation is today al
most where it was last March, but
when this fact is analysed the military
experts point out that it is far toe
early to begin to talk about the enc
OF the war
There is the feeling, Of course, which
the best military experts here express
that the German high command must
realize that Germany can never wiz
the war. But at the same time there
is no attempt to conceal the fact thai
the German army is yet capable Of
powerful resistanCes and that in spite
Of all the efforts the allies may pu1
forth it may take several years to wir
a conclusive peace. So it is not strange
the military experts here said today
that the allied war council from its
headquarters in France is cautionins
the allied countries against overcon
fidence and particularly against the
slightest relaxation Of effort. To the
contrary the allies one and all are ex
pected to redouble their war efforts
Foch Will Keep Going.
There is the expectation here on the
