BETTER BUTTER RULES SET OUT
 BY U. s. EXPERT

The butter made on the farms of the United States may be materially improved in quality in most eases, if standard methods are employed and greater care is exercised in carrying out the necessary details, says the United States Department of Agricul- ture. The department gives the fol- lowing outline of the essential steps to be taken in making good farm but 1 ter:
 | l. Produce clean milk and cream. | Cool the cream immediately after it comes from the separator. Clean and sterilize all utensils. 2. Ripen or sour the cream at from 65 degrees to 75 degrees F. until mild ly sour. Always use a thermometer in order to know that the right tenn perature is reached. 3. Cool the cream to churning tenn perature or below, and hold at that temperature for at least two hours (before churning.
 4. Use a churning temperature usually between 52 degrees and 66 de- grees F.-that will require 30 or 40 minutes to obtain butter.
 5. Clean and scald the churn, then half fill it with cold water and re- volve until churn is thoroughly cooled, after which empty the water.
 6. Pour the cream into the churn through a strainer.

THE TIMES: JANUARY 30, 1918
PRINCE RUDOLPH
 DEATH MYSTERY
 STILL UNSOLvED
Tragic Death of Hapsburg Prince 2S Years Ago Has
 Never Been Explained.

For twenty-eight years the thirtietn of January has recalled bitter memor- les to the Austrian royal family. for u marks the anniversary of the rnys- ter1ous tragic death or Crown Prince Rudolph, only son of the late Emper- or francls Joseph. It is supposed that ne committed suicide in his hunt 1 Ing poX at Meycrling. The real cir cumstances of his death are known only III the inner circle of the Austrian royal family. All that the world at large knows is that the heir to the throne of the dual monarchy and his beautiful mistress, Marie Vetsera, with whom he was desperately infatu- ated, were found dead together in a room of the hunting lodge.
 Only three persons, it has been al- legged. were acquainted with the actual facts connected with the end of Ru- dolph and his sweetheart. These were the late Emperor Francis Joseph, cardinal Rampolla, and Count Hoyos. It was the latter who told Francis Joseph the details of the tragedy, and Fafter his recital of what took place the Count was dismissed, and was never again permitted to come with Tn sight of the Emperor.
 Prince Rudolph was the son of mis. mated parents, and shortly after his | birth the Empress Elizabeth left her husband. Until her tragic death at the hands of an anarchist at Geneva, the Empress spent little time in Aus tria. Rudolph's mother was eccentric to the point of madness, and the Grown Prince, although possessed of marked artistic anG intellectual gifts, was also wild and peculiar by nature He married the Princess Stephanie of Belgium. but 1t was purely a union of convenience. In 1887 the Prince met and fell wildly in love with the Baroness Marie Vetsera, a Vienese girl just out of a convent, and all the tongues in Vienna were soon wagging about this royal scandal. Their rela- tions continued for about a year and half. when the world was startled by the tragedy at Meyerling.
 It was officially announced that the latest victim of the "curse of the 'Hapsburgs" had died of apoplexy, but this was a barefaced invention, and did not account for the presence of ISAiO NC1o UO0y VI L4lS 5 SW06L- heart. The court then announced that the Prince had committed sui- eide, and refused all other explana- tions. ts
 Hundreds of rumors about the trag- edy have gained circulation, but the version most generally accepted is that Rudolph was told by the emper-
 or that he must give up his sweet heart, and rather than do that. had killed the girl and himself.

required to erect the houses in the community which will In the future be the homes of the new arrivals. It is estimated, according to surveys made at the instance of the city, that from 5000 to 7,500 dwellings will be necessary. The cost will exceed $10,- 900, 900 including wages.
 Another fortune will be required for the construction of sewers, water fla cilities and other sanitary arrange ments in this new section. Streets will be laid, miles of water pipes will be installed and all the heating, light ing and transportation accommoda- tions of a modern city.
 This working program is to be has tened with all possible speed so that " workmen who could be used on the scores e= ships contracted for by the government in Delaware River yards will be released without delay. The city is still working on the problem of police and fire protection for the Hog Island" colony along with other details which cannot be ar 1 ranged until the homes are built.

SUCCESS WITH THE
BACK YARD GARDEN

Many lack yard gardens faHaA
fast spring and summer because they
were planted under conditions that
made success impossible, even with
the best cultural methods. It is g
waste of time and energy, which
might well be spent in some more
fruitful endeavor, to try to grow gar
den plants unless there is a fair
chance to succeed. The following
suggestions for gardening by Gee. L.
Tiebout, horticulturist, Extension Di-
vision, u. s. o., are timely:
/. The soil in the back yard should
be workable. One filled with e4nders.
coal ashes, brick bats, etc, should
not be planted.
2. The drainage must be good. If
water does not run of the yard read
NY during a heavy rain, or standing
water can not be removed from It
,easily through surface drainage, It u
not suitable for a garden.
8. When the spot for the proposed
garden does not receive sunlight for
a fair portion Of the day, it rs use
Less to attempt to grow vegetables.
4. Where chickens, ducks, or other
fowls are kept in no place for a gar
den unless one or the other is well
fenced,
When the gardens can be worked
by members of the household during
their recreation period or with lit
Gle extra effort above their normal oc-
equations, no better outlet for patriot
ac and economic service for every
member of the family can be found.
Children win take a great deal Of u
terest if a portion Of the garden is
allotted to them and each one is given
his or her 9wn lot to work. Their
productg may be purchased by the
parents and the proceeds used BY
the children to purchase Thrift
Stamps.

his all for liberty, democracy and
America; next President Wilson and
the men serving under and with him
and third, the great body of Amer
leans who are supporting the govern
ment and its allies with their money,
time and efforts.
Mr.. Bryan said there are three
reasons why prohibition is desirable.
First, he said, God never created a
normal brain that craved or that
needed alcohol. If there is man
whose brain needs alcohol, he should
consult physician. Next he argued,
the man or woman was not created,
or lived, whose body, mind or soul,
could or would be benefited by the
stimulating effect of alcohol, and
third, he said, the man or woman
never lived who ocould, at any stage
Of life say that he, or she, would take
one or more drinks and then stop.
Sees End of Traffic
The Commoner declared that Lou
isiana will go down into history as
one Of the great American states
which made it possible to wipe out
the whiskey traffic. He accused the
liquor interests of forming a corrupt
ring through which they attempted
in many states to pollute the politics
and corrupt the Democratic party.
When they sent men and money
into Nebraska, his home state, to de-
spoil the Democratic party, then he
said he threw down the gauntlet and
has been fighting the battle of prohi-
bition.

GOOD FLAMING SEED
ARE VERY SCARCE
HIGH PRICES AND INFERIOR
SEED ARE THE RESULTS OF
WAR CONDITIONS.
SEED SHOULD BE TESTED
Important To Know the GerminatlVO
Value and Purity Content Of
All Seed.

We are Just beginning to reafxa
that there is great scarcity of good
planting seeds. Formerly much of our
forage crop and garden seeds were
obtained abroad. War conditions now
prevent this Importation; our owR
seed farms are not able to meet the
present demand, consequently a high
price and often time inferior seeds 10
the result
Home grown seeds save expense ef
transportation, allowing much needed
labor and time, and space required in
transit, for other purposes. In many
cases plants from home grown seed
show less susceptibility to plant dis
eases than do foreign grown seed
They are at hand when needed.
The value Of a high percentage in
seed can not be over estimated. Low
percentage of termination not only
means there are few seeds which
terminate, but that the vitality Of
that new plant starting out to grow is
very low; it may not have enough
stored energy to permit to competing
with other plants, and 1t may 5000
succumb. Reports of high percentages
OF termination not only mean that
great numbers of seeds are viable,
but that the chances Of getting a
root-hold and in competing with other
plants is therefore greater. A low
percentage and low or weak vitality
Of sprouted seeds, and high percen-
tage and strong vitality, go together.
Vigor in seeds is one Of the greatest
assets to insure strong plant.
A knowledge OF the purity content
On agricultural seed is essential in Or
der to save land from being wasted
by planting it to weed seed and to
save the time and labor necessary to
exterminate the weeds. Certain
weeds produce many seeds, many
more than most agricultural plants.
Alfalfa and clover produce on the
average approximately $50 seeds to
the plant. The seed production per
plant of some of the common weeds
found in Louisiana are as follows:
Crab grass ....... $4,000
FoxtaiI ................ .113,e00
Hogweed ................. S5.0eo
Cookie bur .......... 300
Ragweed .................. 23,10o
