cial Congress.
Club in the hall OF the University
Club, last night.
Secretary Daniels said that in
spite OF this blunder, America had
taken up the work OF building ships
and was proceeding with the Job
as rapidly as could be wished, and
that in this as in other national
war ventures the statement that
the United States had made greater
progress in six months than any of
the allied power is justified
Denounces Pessimism.
The naval Official denounced pes
simism in no uncertain terms.
Some times the pessimism has
been thick enough to cut with a
knife" Secretary Daniels said.
And let me tell you now that the
only place for pessimists is to put
them stevedoring for Pershing.
There is no place for pessimism /;
there is no place for optimism.
There Is in America only place for
conservation and resolution.

him to file a homestead claim on a
1eo-acre tract of land thereabouts. He
has made substantial improvements
thereon. and has resided there almost
two years. Another years residence

the government, but Just then the war

Shorty" was fearful that somebody
might Jump his claim while he was
away helping cinch up the Kaiser. but
the General Land Office told him not
to worry. as Congress has wisely pro-
vided for the protection OF claimants

fact of his having already lived on the
land upward OF a year. his term OF
service in the navy would count as
residence. and he can get a perfect

delay.

PLAN TO MAKE GOOD BUTTER
ods and Care Are Practiced by Farmer.

| Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The butter made on the farms of the United States may he materially improved in quality in most cases, if standard methods are employed and greater care is exercised In carrying out the necessary details. The depart ment gives the following outline of the essential steps to be taken in mak- ing good farm butter: 1. Produce clean milk and cream. Cool the cream immediately nfter it comes from the separator. Clean and steriiize all utensils.
 2. Ripen or sour the cream at from 65 degrees to 75 degrees F. until mildly sour. Always use thermometer in order to know that the right tempera- twre is reached.
 3. Cool the cream to churnfng tenn perature or below and hold at that temperature for at least two hours be- fore churning.
 4. Use churning tempergture-usu ally between B degrees and 66 de grees F.-that will require 30 or 40 minutes to obtain butter.
 ,. Clean and scald the churn, then half fill 1t with cold water and revolve until churn Is thoroughly cooled, after which empty the water.
 G. Pour the cream into the churn through n strainer
 |. Add butter color-from 20 to B drops to gallon of cream-except late in the spring and early In the summer.
 s. Put the cover on tight; revolve the churn several times; stop with bottom up and remove stopper to per init escape of gas; repeat until no more gas forms.
 9. Continue churning until butter of wheat.
 10 Draw off the buttermilk through the hole at the bottom of the churn, using a strainer to catch particles of butter When the buttermilk has drained out. replace the cork.
 H. Prepare twice as much wash wa ter as there is buttermilk, and at about the same temperature. Use the ther- momctcr; do not guess at tempera- lures. Put oae-half the water into the chrrn with the butter.
 12. Replace the cover and rcvolye the churn rapidly few times, then draw off the water. Repeat the wash ins with the remainder of the water.
 13 The butter should still be in granular form when the washing Is completed.
 14. Weigh the butter.
 15. Place the butter on the worker and add salt at the rate of three quarters of an ounce to a pound of butter
 16. Work the butter until the salt is dissolved and evenly distributed. Do not overwork.
 IT. Pack in any convenient form for home use or make into one-pound
