S%training Cream Into Churn.

particles and any foreign matter that
may be in it. In order to have the
necessary conclusion the churn should
be only about one-third full. If too
full, the churning period is prolonged
and If the cream fOams 1t nearly fills
the churn and prevents conclusion. In
that case 1t is usually necessary to re-
move some of the cream in order to
obtain butter in q reasonable time.
Except late in the spring and early
In the summer, when butter has a nat
urally high color, a small quantity Of
butter color is usually added. In win
ter the quantity required to produce
a shade Of yellow like the desirable
June color varies from about 20 to 30
drops per gallon Of cream.
The color having been added to the
cream, the churn may be started at a
speed to produce the greatest concus-
sion, which may be determined largely
by the sound. About GO revolutions a
minute is the usual speed for the COM
mon barrel type of churn. After a
few revolutions the churn should be
stopped, bottom up, and the cork re-
moved to permit the escape Of gas.
This is repeated two or three times in
the early stages of churning. At that
period cream produces q very liquid
sound and the glass in the churn is
evenly covered with cream.
When churning Is nearly completed
there is q noticeable difference in the
sound made by the cream, while on
the glass in the churn a thick, mushy
mass will appear, which occasionally
breaks away, leaving the glass clear.
At this point the butter granules are
Just forming and the cream is thick
and finely granular, like yellow corn.
meal mush, with buttermilk separating
slightly from the tiny %granules. The
churn should be revolved several
times, then stopped and the butter ex-
anime. in order to prevent overchurn-
ing. When the g%ranules are he size
Of grains of wheat the churning is
completed. TO continue the churning
until the butter is in large masses is
a bad practice, because 1t Incorporates
quantities Of buttermilk which cannot
be washed out. The bad effect of too
much buttermilk in the butter has
been discussed already.

EVERY MAN HAS His STAR
Influence for Good Luck Comes Only
With Use of Coin, to Aid Com
m%unication, Frehch Say.
A superstition the Americans have

A superstition the Americans have
been taught to respect is that of the
coin and the star. The French say
that every man has his star, but he
can't secure its influence for good
luck unless he uses a coin to put him
in communication with it, observes a
Paris correspondent. If the proper
coin is used the star can be called
on to exercise its protecting virtue,
and once this has been established
there is no reason for the fortunate
soldier to worry further. The ques-
ton in the minds of the Americans
is whether American coin will have
any influence with the stars.
American soldiers have discovered,
however, that the most popular GUS
tom with the French is that of rub
bing wine or brandy behind the ears.
10 many Americans this may seem
an uncalled-for waste of good French
drink, but the French soldiers be-
lieve implicitly in the practice.
The proper time to perform this
action, according TO the French, is
just before going into battle, when
the wine is passed around to bracs
the nerves of the soldiers No mat
ter how careful the dispenser Of the
wine or brandy is, there are always
a few drops dripping from the con-
tainer. 1t is these that the soldiers
are anxious to catch. They hold
Tier hands underneath and when
the drops Of wine or brandy fall on
them they quickly rub the fluid be-
hind their ears But few of them
ever rub it on their tongues.

ROAD

FACTORS IN ROAD BUILDING
Necessity Emphasized in Giving Great
est Consideration to All
] Local Conditions.
prepared by the United States Depart

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Theory is simply the sign post that
points the way in road building,
while judgment is the vehicle on which
the journey is dependent, says a pub
Ncation on "The Design of Public
Roads" by the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
The publication emphasizes the
necessity of giving the greatest con-
sideration to all local factors in o
construction. In order to furnish the
kind of roads that q community wants
and to furnish them with the least
possible drain on the public treasury.
the person who designs them must be
thoroughly familiar with local condi-
tons and must possess the judgment
necessary to weigh the importance OF
all considerations. The publication
makes no attempt to state definite and
exact rules for designing roads to
suit every locality but takes up sep
arately the important features of the
problem with q view 80 showing the
variations in current practice and the
influence of some special conditions
with regard to each feature.
In order to select the type OF sur
face best adapted to the need OF a
particular road, it is necessary to con-
slider first, the class of traffic to
~,AfoL tAo ,o,I uil3 ba cYhiantod and
second. to compare the estimated ulti-
mate cost Of the different surface
types which would be capable of sat
isfscterily caring for that particular
class of traffic. The number of roads
for. which accurate traffic anc eff
cheney records have been kept is said
to be insufficient to warrant definite
conclusions as to the best type for
any particular class of traffic, but the
following summary is said to contain
about as definite information on this
point as can be drawn from available
records.
(a) Earth roads, when properly
maintained, are satisfactory in dry
weather for a light volume of all
kinds of highway traffic.
(b) Sand-clay roads are the same
as earth roads, except that the sur
facing material has been selected care
fully with q view to increasing the
stability of the surface in both wet
and dry weather. They are satiSfac-
tory for Il moderate traffic Of horse
drawn vehicles and a light traffic Of
automobiles. They seldom are salts
factory for ever a light traffic of
heavy trucks unless the roadbed ma
terial is very stable.

(e) Surface-treated macadam roads

slant maintenance.
(f) Bituminous roads are suitable

(g) Concrete roads are adapted to
the same general class of traffic as

capable of wi%thstanding tie traffic of

(h) Brick roads are adapted TO the
same general class of traffic as con-
crete roads. Either brick or concrete
roads. however, may be economical
FOR only moderate traffic where other

When cream is ready for churning
the churn should be prepared. 1t
should be cleaned thoroughly, rlnsed
with scalding water, then thoroughly
rinsed and chilled with cold water.

Sneak in Barlev

Speak IN BagleY
Rev. HanscOm, Methodist pastor OF
Bemidji delivered and able and in
teresting address to the local Red
Cross chapter members of Bagley at
the high school auditorium Monday
night. Mr.. Ranscom spoke along
patriotic lines, referring at various
parts of his speech to the great work
that the Red Cross is doing. His
view of the present status Of the war
and peace conditions while of no
melancholy nature, is for US to be
up and doing with the utmost en-
ergy, there being a probability that
the peace propaganda and talk Of
starvation in Germany might possib-
ly be originated and started by Ger
man sympathizers for the purpose of
deterring the United States from
working to it's greatest capacity,
thereby working to the interests of
our enemy.
Mrs. E. E. Mcdonald: Red Cross
director for this section of the state,
was also present and made some we'll
chosen remarks and assisted the Ia
dies of Bagley in preparation for ap-
pointment of various committees that

work. Mrs. Mcdonald made special
mention of the fine work room which

mended that the same be kept open
