starter Is added to produce the flavor
The starter is a culture containing
many millions of lactlc-acid bacteria
grown In pasteurized skim milk until
the milk has soured and curdled. The
lactic-acid bacteria produce the desir-
able flavor in ripened-cream butter.
When the cream is sufficiently ripened
or soured it Is cooled to a temperature
of between 40 and 60 degree f. and
held at that temperature for two hours
or more, after which it Is run into one
of the huge churns which have a ca
pacity of 1000 or more pounds of but
ter. Although commonly called churns,
they really are combined churns and
workers, because, unlike home butter
making, the butter is both churned
and worked in the machine.
The churn is filled only one-third or
one-half full, so that when revolved
the cream which is carried up by the
motion of the churn has plenty of
room to fall. The conclusion thus pro.
duced causes the minute globules of
butterfat to gather into granules of
butter. When the churn is stopped
after having been run for about an
hour granules of butter about the size
Of grains of wheat or corn will be
floating on the surface of the butter
milk. Then the buttermilk is drawn
off through hole in the bottom of the
churn and the butter granules washed
with pure, cold water. After draining,
salt is added to the granular butter
which is still In the churn.
The big wooden rollers are then put
into gear, the churn started and the
butter worked In the churn until the
salt is all dissolved and the butter has
waxy body The butter Is removed
and packed into tubs or made into
pound prints and put into cartons In
the form in which 1t goes to the con-
sumer.
Many creameries have welltfquipped
laboratories In which the numerous

creamery business are made. A sam
pie of every can of cream that is re-
ceived is tested by means of the Bah
cock test In order to determine the
per cent of butterfat. BY this means
the pounds Of butterfat for which the
farmer is to be paid is determined.
The sourness or acidity of the cream
| or milk is determined by means OF
another test which involves the use of
carefully Celebrated glassware. In or.
der that the buttermaker may be able
to turn out butter having approximate
ly the same composition day after day
he tests sample of butter from each
churning for moisture and salt. Both
of these tests require skillful work
manship and the use of delicate scales
Because of the highly specialized and
| technical apparatus used In a creamery
the operator of the factory must neces
sarlly be a technically trained man
and In fact many are graduates Of spe
cial courses at the state agricultural
colleges. On account of the large ant
expensive machinery required the
creamery business demands the invest
ment of considerable capital. The small
country creamery may possibly b,
built and equipped for less than $40
900, but many of the larger plants COS
more than 100000.

NEW FASHIONS

Ripping skirt sections are tabooed
nv some of the smartest modistes.
Gray handkerchief linen Is used for
some Of the most distinctive of French
hand made blouses.
Cat stitching In heavy SIX is In
some cases replacing fill tire work on
blouses, since 1t involves less time ana
labor and is almost as effective.
A novel edging, introduced by Lam
vim on some of her blouses, Is made or
tiny seam beading, cut in half and ap-
piled by hand.
Colored pique is used for collars ana
cuffs on lingerie blouses for spring.
Heavily embroidered front panels
are used on some of the hand made
lingerie things.
Blazer stripes are reported as re-
turning to favor In England for sweat
ers.
Most of the best bandeau brassieres
nre now fitted with a shaped dia-
phragm band.

The process of manufacturing
creamery butter In a modern factory is
just as technical as the manufacture
of piece of cotton cloth. In most In.
stances the milk Is skinned OH the
farm by means of hand-operated CEN
trifugal separator, which extracts the
cream much more efficiently than the
old-time gravity system. The cream
may be hauled to the creamery by the
farmer or ii may be shipped In from a
farm 100 or more miles away.
AS the cans of cream arrive they are
inspected and sampled In order to de-
termine their value for buttermaking.
The cream Is then poured into huge
watts holding 300. 900, or more gallons,
In each Of which is coil, or similar
device, that when put in motion agi-
tates the cream and thoroughly mixes
II, Hot water and steam can be turned
into these coils to heat the cream.
In many creameries the cream Is heat
ed In this way to temperature of
ABOUT l5O uSSTces y. hciu Ut that teih-
perature for about 30 minutes and
then cooled. The process is known as
Dissemination. The object is to kill
any disease germs that may be in the
cream and to destroy nearly all other
bacteria. This protects the health OF
the consumer, improves the keeping
properties of the butter, and enables
the creameryman to control the ripen
ing of the cream and develop the prop
er flavor; 1t also insures uniform
flavor In the butter.
BY running cold water through the
coils in the vat the cream Is cooled tt
a temperature of between 60 and Il
degrees f., and then quantity OF

SOME MORE AMERICAN
EFFICIENCY

Acting on orders from the Ger
man government, the officers and
crews of the German ships interned
in American waters inflicted such
damage upon the machinery of the
vessels as they deemed absolutely
certain to keep the ships out of
service for two years. By that time
the Germans thought the war would
be over.
But American efficiency and
American invention effected the
necessary repairs in from six to
eight months and at a cost of S273,-
900; the Germans had figured the
cost of repairs at 100000 and the
necessary time "a months.
All of these ships, except one that
has been sunk, are now bearing
American commerce on the seas or
transporting American soldiers to
Europe. The navy department fig
ures that the use of these ships be-
tween the time the ships were &C
tually repaired and the time the
Germans estimator they could be
repaired will be worth S24O,O00,O0O
to the Government at the present
rate of tonnage.
The Vaterland, one of these in
termed ships and the largest ship
afloat, is now in the United States
service renamed the Leviathan.
Americans are able to operate the
ship at a higher rate of speed than
the Germans were able to do and do
this with 200 tons of coal less a day.
The Leviathan has one American
captain in place of five German
captains of the Vaterland, and one
American chief engineer instead of
a chief engineer and five assistants
that German efficiency required.

to the call of their country and the
law of the land, often at great fin
ancial sacrifice, face the dangers of
war and offer their lives in the ser
vice of their country, it is but right
and just that upon the nation and
not upon them should be put the
added cost of insurance their dam
gerous occupations incurs.
Secretary McAdoo says that the
soldier and sailor insurance is the
justest, wisest, and most humane
provision ever made by any nation
for its fighting forces. This opinion
is shared in by the soldiers and sail
ors and by the people of the United
States. The injustice, the partiality,
the inequalities and other evils OF
the old pension system are replaced
by just, fair. and generous insur-
ance system which over 80 per cent
of the fighting forces of the nation
have fastened to take advantage of.

THE GREATEST INSURANCE
BUSINESS IN THE WORLD.

More than 2,0O0,000,000 of in
surance upon the lives of members
of the military and naval forces of
the United States has been written
by the Bureau of War-Risk Insur-
ance of the United States treasury
A year ago the total amount of
life insurance in force in the United
States was about 22,0O0,OOO,O 900.
In few months the United States
Government has written more than
so per cent Of that amount.
1t furnishes this insurance to the
beneficiaries at the same rate that
private companies would furnish it
in times of peace. This insurance
is bought and paid for at regular
rates by the beneficiaries, except
that the nation assumes the addi-
tional risk that being in the military
and naval service of the country en-
tails upon the beneficiaries.

MILITARY MORALS

One of the uses of the proceeds
of the Liberty Loan that will appeal
strongly to the great mass of Amer
can people is the care and attention
given to the moral welfare and pro-
lection of the American soldiers.
Heretofore with the American
army and even now with some of
the armies of our allies the moral
welfare of the soldier was and is a
matter largely ignored. In the Ger
man armies provision is even made
for immortality.
1t is to the giNy o. American
arms and American national char
acter that of the men who wear the
United States uniform high stand
ard of conduct is expected and de-
manded, and provided for. Kipling's
"Single men in barracks" are not
to find their prototypes in the
American army.
General Pershing says there is
no cleaner-living body of men in
the world than the American army
in France.

POLITE, FAR AND HELPFUL

Courtesy, square dealing, and SER
vice are required by the Internal
Revenue Bureau of its thousands of
employees who are aiding in the col
lection of war revenues. A manual
has been sent out for their use with
the purpose of making as pleasant
as possible the task of the American
citizen to find out what his Federal
taxes are and how to pay them.
The internal revenue officers are
instructed to inform the taxpayer
of all his rights, to require of him
not l cent more than the law de-
mands, while at the same time secur-
ing for the Government all that
justly is due it.
1t is estimated that 100000
American citizens will pay income
taxes this year-a great increase
from the few hundred thousand
heretofore paying such taxes.
The work of estimating and col
Letting taxes from such a great
number of citizens is one of great
magnitude, and that it should be
done fairly and without friction IS
an achievement worth much effort

"There is even larger problem
that this that challenger our atten-
ton, and that is the teaching of the
English tongue to millions of our
population. DR.. John H. Finley,
president of the University of the
state of New York, in a recent
speech, presented this picture which
he found in one of the environments:
"'How practical is the need of "a
language in this country, common
to all tongues, is illustrated by what
saw in one of the great canton
ments a few nights ago. In the
mess hall, where had sat an hour,
before with company of the men
of the National army, few small
groups were gathered along the
tables learning English under the
tuition of some of their comrades,
one of whom had been a district
supervisor in a neighboring state
and another a theological student
In one of these groups one of the
exercises for the evening consisted
in practicing the challenge when on
sentry duty. Each pupil of the
group There were four of Italian
and two of Slavic BIRTH shouldered
in turn the long-handled stove shovel
and aimed it at the teacher, who
ran along the side of the room as if
to evade the guard. The pupil
called out in broken speech, Halt.
Who goes there?" The answer
came from the teacher, Friend"
And then. in as yet unintelligible
English (the voice of innumerable
ancestors struggling in their threats
to pronounce it,, the words "Ad-
vance and give the countersign."
So are those of confused tongues

to defend. What a commentary up

brothers with them), to know the
language in which our history and
laws are written and in which we

poses of all who came with the

THE sOLIER AND THE BOND

1t is the sacred duty of every
citizen and it should be regarded as
a glorious privilege by every patriot
to uphold the Governments credit
with the same kind of self-sacrifico
and nobility of soul that their gal
liant sons exhibit when they die for
US on the battle fields of Europe"
Secretary McAdoo has issued no
stronger call upon the American
people to support the Liberty Loan.
The third loan is now before the
people. Behind every American
soldier in France, back of every
American sailor on the seas, there
should be worker and bond buy
er at home Theirs is the drawer
part, but we who remain al home
can be no less useful if we exhibit
that self-sacrifice that they dem
onstrate in risking their lives
If the American people possess
and put into effective force the
same faith in Americanism that the
Germans show for their kultur, the
struggle between German kultur
and American civilization will be a
short one and Americas victory
overwhelming.
We may be little slow, may have
much inertia to overcome, but Amer

gods, may grind slowly but will
grind exceedingly small.

BRITISH SUPERIOR
IN TANK BATTLE
Enemy Land Ships Flee, Badly
Beaten, After Rough Fight
in PiCardy.

German tanks which made their first
ing the recent German offensive came
off second best in their encounters with
the more powerful and better managed
British tanks.
Full accounts have Just reached the
British general staff in London Of the
first pitched battle between German
and British tanks, In which a squadron
of six German land ships was routed
completely by the British. The battle
occurred on April "a near Villiers-Bre-
tonneux, south of the Somme In Pr
cardy.
Six German tanks appeared in front
of the British line shortly before noon
and started to roll up the TANKS of the
British infantry positions. A call for
help was sent to the nearest British
tank camp and a squadron, including
both ''male" and female" tanks short
iy appeared on the scene. A rough-and-
tumble combat ensued.
The British female tanks, which ap-
peared first, were %outfOught, but the
arrival of the heavier male tanks COM
pletely changed the situation and the
Germans fled after receiving a bad
beating.
Meanwhile the British had brought
up seven of the new fast cruiser type,
called "Whippet tanks" which de-
bouched and attacked the enemy's in
fantry positions on a ridge, rolling up
the German line from the north. 1t
developed that this ridge was held by
a line of machine gun posts, while be-
yond the crest a large German force
was massing in the open for an at
tack. The Whippets ran from shell
hole to shell hole, iniicting terrible
casualties and completely disorganiZ-
ing the enemy's preparations for at
tack.
These sever tanks, each with a full
crew of twenty men, inflicted more than
four hundred casualties on the enemy
in this engagement, while the casual
ties on board the tanks were only
five men. The tanks left their base
shortly before noon and were back at
their base again by three o'clock In the
afternoon.
