The following equipment is needed
for butter making on the farm:
1. Milk Pails-They should be of the
type commonly known as covered-top,
should be heavily timed, and have all
seams flushed with solder so that they
car be cleaned easily.
2. Cream Separator-Any make is
satisfactory If it skins clean and can
be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized.
3. Shotgun Cans-As a cream con-
tainer the style of can known as the
shotgun can" is much to be preferred
to crooks and many other types of cans
and pals commonly used. This can usu.
ally measures about 81 inches in di.

cans are easily handled, covered, and

CHAPTER XXI.

P~unishments and Machine-Gun Stunts.
Soon after my arrival in France; in
fact, from my enlistment, I had found
that in the British army discipline is
very strict. One has to be very care
full in order to stay on the narrow path
of government virtue.
There are about seven million ways
Of breaking the kings regulations; to
keep n you have to break another.
The worst punishment is death by a
firing squad, or "up against the WALL"
as Tommy calls it.
This is for desertion, cowardice, mu-
tiny, giving information to the enemy,
looting, rape, robbing the dead, forcing
a safeguard, striking a superior, etc.
Then comes the punishment Of sixty
four days in the front-line trench with
out relief. During this time you have
to engage in all raids, working parties
in No Mans Land, and every hazardous
undertaking that comes along. If you
live through the sixty.four days you
are indeed lucky.

WHAT He REALLY WANTED
Deep, Dark Design That Was Behind
Mans Encouragement Of His
Companions Singing.

Two men were seated at a table in
a saloon, one Of them annoying the
other customers by his maudlin at
tempts to sing something that had a
strong German air, although the words
were apparently English. The pro-
prietor approached.
"Cut out that singing in here" he
demonstrated. "This amt no ANA
teur night for cabarets."
The singer subsidized and took an.
other drink, but his companion urged
him to continue, expressing great adj
miration for the air.
"What de you mind the likes Of
him for| he asked. "Sure, it's q fine
song. Go ahead with it."
The resumption of the disjointed
notes brought the proprietor to the
table again.
"See here, you," he began, with a
rap of his knuckles on the table, "cut
that singing right now, or I'll have you
thrown out"
Standing not far off to be sure that
the selection was not continued the
proprietor overheard the second man
urging the singer to go ahead and after
another drink the song was resumed.
Stepping up to the table with fire in
his eye the boss addressed himself to
the second man.
"Why do you keep asking him to
sing?" he demanded. IF you are
so stuck on his singing take him some
where else and listen to it all you
like"
"Singfng retorted the other. II
don't care about his singing. I want
to see him thrown out"

Little Baby Phenomenon.

A t~wo-year-old baby girl holds the
worlds record in mental DEVELOPMENT,
The infant prodigy is Martha
Springer, twenty-six months old,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John E.
Springer of Mountain View, Cal.
The child can read like an eight
year-old. The father says the child
has a normal mind which simply has
been developed by persistent training.
AT a recent meeting of college pro-
fessors and experts in pedagogy and
psychology the child for forty minutes
read. counted and told the time by
the clock and talked with the men who
were observing her. Her baby brain
did not sag and she appeared to enjoy
the long interview.
The child reads and speaks with a
vocabulary Of about two thousand
words. She is large for her age and
eats and sleeps well.

6. Butterworker-The lever and the
table butterworkers are very satisfac-

straining both the cream and butter

as q buttermilk strainer because but

Ready to Meet "the" Girl.

Here's a young man who believes in
the efficiency of preparedness.
With his young wife he appeared re-
Gently before Frank NJ. Kenney, chief
clerk to Local Board No. z at Cen
trail armory, Cleveland, O.
"When did you buy the ring?" Mr..
Kenney asked.
There vas some discrepancy be,
tween the nswers of the bride and
the bridegroom and the clerk pressed
for an explanation.
WELL, I'll tell you the TRUTH" the
man replied. "Some years ago I
bought a watch on the installment
plan and when it was paid for I
thought the idea was a pretty good
one. I figured to myself that some
day I might want to get married, and
thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to
get the ring on the same PLAN"
"you mean you got the ring and
kept it in your pocket until the right
girl happened along?" Mr.. Kenney in
quired.
'That's Just it, mister" the youth
replied, unabashed. "This is the right
girl, and we've just got married."

We knew it was a German by the blach
leather boot. One of u crew used
that foot to hang extra bandoliers of
ammunition on. This man always was
a handy fellow; made use of little
points that the ordinary person would
overlook.
The Germans made three counter
attacks, which we repulsed, but not
without heavy loss on our side. They
also suffered severely from our shell
and machine-gun fire. The ground was
spotted with their dead and dying.
The next day things were somewhat
quieter, but not quiet enough to bury
the dead.
We lived, ate and slept in that trench
with the unburied dead for six days.
1t wac awful to watch their faces be-
come swollen and discolored. Towards
the last the stencil was fierce.
What got on my nerves the most was
that foot sticking out Of the dirt. It
seemed to me, at night, in the moon
light, to be trying to twist around.
Several times this impression was so
strong that I went to it and grasped it
in both hands, to see if I could feel q
movement.
it for a hatrack just before I lay down
for q little nap, as things were quiet,
and I needed a rest pretty badly.
When I woke up the foot was gone.
He had cut it off with our chain saw
out Of the spare parts box, and had
plastered the stump over with mud.
During the next two or three days,
before we were relieved, I missed that
foot dreadfully; seemed as if I had
suddenly lost a chum.
I think the worst thing Of all was to
watch the rats, at night, and some
times in the day, run over and play
about among the dead.
Near our gun, right across the para.
pet, could be seen the body of a Ger
man lieutenant, the head and arms of
which were hanging into our trench.
The man who had cut off the foot used
to sit and carry on q one-sided CONVEX
sation with this officer, used to argue
oAAN poAAI Jul way 0CAAAuuy was III tuS
wrong. During all of this monologue
I never heard him say anything out Of
the way--anything that would have
hurt the officers feelings had he been
alive. He vas square all right;
wouldn't ever take advantage of a
dead man in an argument.
To civilians this must seem dread
full, but out here one gets so used to
awful sights that it makes no impress
sion. In passing a butcher shop you
are not shocked by seeing a dead tur-
key hanging from a hook. Well, in
France, a dead body is looked upon
from the same angle.
But, nevertheless, when our six days
were up, we were tickled to death to
be relieved.
Our machine gun company lost
seventeen killed and thirty-one wound
ed in that little local affair Of
Strengthening the line," while the
other companies clicked it worse than
we did.
After the attack we went into re
serve billets for six days, and on the
seventh once again we were in rest bill
let's.
