3. Cream too sweet. If ripened to a
moderate acidity it will churn more
easily.
4. Churn too full. In order to OBJ
tain the maximum concussion the
churn should not be more than one
third full.
5. Ropy fermentation Of the cream
prevents concussion. This may be
prevented by sterilizing all the uten-
sils and producing the milk and cream
under the most sanitary conditions. If
additional measures are needed, the
pasteurization of the cream, with sub
sequent protection from contamination,
and ripening it with good starter
Will be effective.
6. Individuality of the COW. The
only remedy is to obtain cream from
cow recently fresh, or cream that
Is known to churn easily, and before
ripening mix 1t with the cream that is
difficult to churn.
z. The cow being far advanced in
the period of lactation. The effects
may be at least partially overcome by
adding, before ripening, some cream
from COW that is not far advanced
In the period of lactation.
g. Feeds that produce hard fat. Such
feeds are cottonseed meal and timo-

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped TO reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it..
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that / know of
has so large a SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that, so many people claim, it fulfils al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

women who need not worry because Of
expense, and the great number who
must count every penny to make ends
meet.
The woman who must watch her
purse closely, that her family is well
and economically fed, Is she who must
study food values, attend every lecture
on foods where she may gain new
ideas or inspiration. We are con-
fused very often i'm our judgments of
food values by taking this or that food
and learning its nutritive value, but
forgetting that different foods act upon
each other In the digestive process,
thus producing more highly nutritive
food than either taken separately.
There will always be something lack
ing in substituting one food for an
other. Rice and potatoes cannot take
the place of wheat, yet by adding VA
riety of foods to our diet the health
of the body as well as its growth may
be kept up with no wheat at all.
The housewife who must consider
cost, with food substitutes. is the
housewife who needs to study, and
over so per cent of our American wom-
en- are in that class.
When a butter substitute Is used
on the table see that. the family has
plenty of egg yolk and green vege-
tables to supply the growth determin-
ant found I'm butter. II Is better, where
possible. to serve butter to the grow
ing child and economize in some other
way.
We are apt to feel that eggs used
In foods can be saved. thus cutting
down expense; but every egg added to
corn bread, griddle cakes, cake or pud-
ding adds just that much more food
value to the dish.
