what "Maru" Means.

The word "Maru," attached to the
name of every Japanese merchant ship
and commonly accepted as meaning
''ship," has no especial meaning, ac-
cording TO Captain Takeshima of the
Japanese steamship Hudson Maru, re-
Gently captured and released by a Ger
man raider in the South Atlantic. Cap
tain Takeshima said that the word is
the survival of a Japanese custom
centuries old. He explained the or
igin as follows: "There are two opin-
ions as to how the custom originated.
One of the stories is that in ancient
times the Japanese attached 'maru'
to the name of anything highly priced,
Ii was first applied to ships name
about 1000 years ago, when the EN-
press lingo sent an expedition to
Korea. She added the word to the
name of the ship that transported the
troops to Korea. Ever since then

TEMPERATURE FOR cHURNING
Much pepends on Season of Year, but
Is Usually From So to 90 De-
urees in Summer.

CPrepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
The desirable temperature at which
TO churn is that which makes the but
ter granuIes firm without being hard.
This is usually obtained under normal
conditions when the churning occupies
30 or 40 minutes. The necessary churn7
ing temperature depends upon the
season Of the year and certain other
factors, but is usually from 81 to 6O
degrees Fahrenheit in the summer and
from So to go degrees Fahrenheit in
the winter. If the cream is churned
at 81 degrees Fahrenheit in winter,
and the butter comes in 35 minutes,
with the granules firm, it will be no
ticed, as summer approaches ana the
cows are turned out to pasture, that
the cream churns more quickly and
the butter is softer. This is an in
dication that a lower churning temper
allure should be used, and thus from
season to season the churning temper
allure is regulated so that the butter
granules may have the proper firm
| ness.
When the temperature is either too
low or too high, undesirable results
| are obtained. A low temperature pro-
longs the churning period unnecessa-
| rily, and may even make it impossible
TO churn butter. II causes the gram
ules, especially when the cream is
thin, to form in tiny pellets, like fine
shot. many of which run out with the
buttermilk. The working of the but
ter and the incorporation of the salt
are accomplished only with great diff
Guilty, and the body of the butter is IL
able to be brittle and tallowy. Add
ing hot water to cream to warm it,
and using wash water more than three
degrees warmer than the butter in or
der to soften it, are bad practices
since they injure the quality of the
butter. If the proper churning tenn
perature is used, the butter granules
will be Of the proper firmness.

SELECT BETTER DAIRY cows
Raising of Best Heifer Calves Will Pro-
vide Means of Cutting Out Low
Producers.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.l
The war has greatly increased the
demand for dairy products, and it is inn
portant that they be produced economi-
cally In order that the quantity Of
dairy products may be large and the
production economical, more and bet1
ter cows are needed. The raising Of
all the best heifer calves will provide
cows enough to permit the culling out
of all low producers.
Every owner of dairy cows should es-
tabIish definite standard, and all cows
that do not measure up to the require
ments should be disposed of for beef.
Whether dairy COW should be rejected
or retained should depend ordinarily
on production, as shown by the milk
scales and the Babcock test.
Farmers who are too busy to test
| their own cows may now have this
work done for them at nominal cost by
joining cow-testing association. Such
an association ordinarily is an organi-
cation of about 20 dairy farmers who
comparatively employ a man to keep
records of their cows. The tester

WHY BALL CAN BE CURVED

There are great peaks and ridges, val

Old erist Mill to Norrlstown.

The Montgomery County (Pa.) His
torical society has appointed a COM
mittee to arrange for the removal OF
an ancient grist and sawmill in Hors-
ham, built in 1874, to Elmwood park,
Norristown. The old mill, not operat-
ed for many years, has been offered
to the society by Miss Mary Iredell.
1t was an old relic and the town coun-
Gil of Norristown has sighted that if
it is accepted by the historical So
ciety and placed in Elmwood park
along Stony creek, it would be taken
care of by the borough in order that
future generations may see how flour
was ground and lumber sawed in pi-
oneer days. 1t is the intention to
bring to Norristown, if possible, the
large driving wheel, turbine wheel and
cob crusher.

Jersey Cow with All the Markings of
a Good Milk Producer.

spends one day each month with each
member, tests and weighs the milk for
butterfat, weighs the feed, both concen-
trates and roughage, and advises the
farmer concerning the quantity and
kind of feed to be given each cow in
the herd. From the quantity of milk,
the butterfat test and the cost of feed,
he helps the farmer to determine which
COW should be rejected. He also aids
in the selection of calves, in improving
the sanitation of the barn, milk house
and dairy utensils, and in many other
ways assists in lifting the dairy bust
ness to a higher level.
There are now 472 contrasting asso-
Citations in the United States, and last
year monthly records were kept for
261, S31 cows, or about 1 per cent of
all the dairy cows in this country.
The cows in the associations whose
records have been tabulated averaged
PAT pounds of butterfat, or about %
per cent more than the average pro-
duction of all the dairy cows in the
United States. If all the dairy cows in
the country could be brought up to the
average of the contrasting associations,
production would be increased 80 per
cent in quantity and the cost of pro-
duction would be considerably reduced

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Finding Help for Harvest.

Kansas answered the call for in
creased food production. Kansas plant
ed more wheat. Kansas knew, or
course, that a tremendous amount Of
man power would be required to har-
vest that crop. But Kansas wasn't dis
mayed. Uncle Sam called for more
wheat. Kansas planted more wheat.
Kansas knew that wheat would be har-
vested and that people in the towns
and cities would go to the fields to
help do It'll
And that is precisely how it is being
harvested-by people from the towns
and cities of Kansas. A literal exc
dus of all the urban people hasn't been
necessary, of course. But all that were
needed went-and more were ready II
needed.
The statewide campaign for town
volunteers for farm labor service dur
ing the harvest was launched at a Kan
sas City conference the latter part OF
May. Representatives of the United
States department of agriculture re
minded all the cooperating agencies
at that conference of the policy that
department has been urging since the
| beginning Of the war-the use OF town
man power for local farm labor needs
during seasonal emergencies.

Hot, heavy foods and iced drinks
often play havoc with bad stomachs
In hot weather. The weak ones haven't
got a chance. A quickly chilled or
overworked stomach is a starter OF
untold misery for its owner.
When you have that dull, depressed
feeling after eating-stomach pains,
bowel disorders, heartburn or nausea,
belching, food repeating-it is the dam
ger point. You want to look out-and
be quick about it in this hot weather.
A way has been discovered to make
sick stomachs well and to keep them
cool and sweet 1t is a commonsense
way. No starvation plan of diet Is
needed. Make this test and see how
quickly you get a good appetite IL

ONLY MADE MATTERS WORSE
Small GirPs Efforts to "Fudge" 'en un-
fortunate Remark Could Not Be
Called Successful.

A number of women were discussing
Liberty bonds one afternoon in a neigh
boris house. Almost unnoticed little
neighbor girl had entered. At this
point in the discussion she exclaimed:
"Well, my aunt says she might just
as well buy a Liberty bond as to be
taxed I"
Her remark caused a good bit of
comment. One guest, who has son in
the service, became very indignant,
and exclaimed:
"The ideal Buying bond to es-
cape taxation! That's patriotism for
you'll That makes me tired-anybody
as able as she is to buy bonds, or any
thing"
With that last remark the speakeA
"few'' out of the house.
The little girl, beholding the strife
and bad feeling she had stirred up,
tried to fudge" on her remark, ext
planning that it wasn't her aunt who
made the remark, but some other womt
an. The neighbor women held her to
| her first remark, and were making 10
pretty warm for the little girl, when
she finally burst out with:
"Well, you don't know how much II
costs my aunt to live; and how much
its costs her to take that trip to MI
agara Fallsp
The laugh with which the women
greeted this innocent remark was suf-
ficient to send the loyal and innocent
i girl running from the room. Truly, her
slines had not fallen in pleasant
places" that afternoon.

BOY HAD SPIRIT OF HIS RACE
How the Captains Boy, Mackinnon,
of the cameronia Helped to
Allay Panic.

In the report of the torpedoing of
the Anchor liner Cameronia with
troops In the Mediterranean last sum-
mer, mention was made of the splen-
did conduct of the captains boy, Mack
innon. This youngster was on the
bridge with the captain when the ship
was struck, and he did much to allay
the excitement by shouting through
the megaphone to the troops, keep
your heads, men. Dinna get excited
It's a RIGHT. Nae hurry" and so on.
The sight Of the small boy with a
megaphone as big as himself advising
the soldiers to keep cool made many
laugh and quieted many nerves. The
boy did many other things, and at the
end the captain found he had dis
obeyed orders and was still on the
bridge when everyone else had left the
ship. When the captain told him to
"clear out" he said, ''I'll no go till you
go, SIR" The captain then caught him
by the coat and slung him overheard
into the destroyer before jumping him
self. An eyewitness on the destroyer
described seeing the captain and the
boy on the bridge of the sinking ship.
I hear now that Mackinnon went
| down in the Tuscania. Probably he
behaved there as he did on the Cam
eronia, and the death he just missed
In the Mediterranean came to him on
the Scottish coast. In the list of heroes
of our mercantile marine there ought

TRAIN FOR HARD WORK

Is there physical training !
class in your town? ,
If not, this is a good time to
start one-a physical training
class to harden the soft muscles !
of town and city men, so they
can go to farms and do effective
work during emergency needs
for farm labor in their counties
and communities.
Kansas City started "loyal
physical fitness class" some
weeks before the time for the
wheat harvest. The idea spread
all over the state. In many
towns and cities similar classes
were organized, and men made
themselves fit for the hard work
they were to undertake in the
! fields as volunteer harvest work
ers. The Kansas wheat crop
couldn't have been harvested If
thousands of patriotic men from
! the towns and cities had not
volunteered to save this crop
that will help feed the fighters
at the front. And a great many
of these men couldn't have work
ed as effectively, and some of
them would have been forced to
drop out altogether, if they had
not been prepared for the physi-
cal strain by preliminary train
ing.
