.-WoRkED-ovER BUTTER

How many have heard of the old
fashioned idea, making two pounds Of
butter out of one," wonderful butter
iacreaser,." magic butter maker? 1t
is generally pointed out that two
pounds of butter can be made out of
one pound by mixing butter with milk.
Prof y. H. Frandsen, head of the
dairy division at the Nebraska uni
versity, says: 49, ~.
According to law, butter must con-
tain at least 81 per cent butterfat and
not to exceed 16 per cent water, which
OF course would not be the case if
skinned milk or water were mixed
with it. Butter mixed in this way
really contains about so per cent but
terfat II the housewife desires the
soft and slushy fat, she could secure an
article Of approximately the same mer-
it by buying rich cream, which would
be cheaper and probably more pala-
table than worked over butter.
practically the same result could
be secured, as when the richness of
the butter is decreased by adding milk,
by spreading the butter half as thick.
1T is well to remember that butter
Is one of the most desirable and easily
digested energy foods that we can
take into our system" vi

Note was made some time ago that
Raymond Brown, Of Dunlap, had pur-
chased a $1,000 bred Chester White
SOW from A. C. Brecher, of Buena Wis
ia county The SOW recently narrowed
eleven fine pigs, and they are all alive
and healthy. Mr.. Brown says he con-
sidered he made great investment
B. w. Hunt is certainly nicely To-
catedaon his new farm just outside the
city limits to the north. He has 1856
acres of fine land and the improve
ments are of the very best. The new
est building erected is a fine new barn
of sufficient size to accommodate all
his stock and store away enough feed
to run him through all kinds of seas
ons. Bert recently made an invest
ment that will mean much to him in
the future, when he purchased of
"Bill'' Reed at Rose Hill. Iowa., the
great Duroc boar Great King Orion"
This animal weighed better than 400
pounds as yearling and he will make
d great hog. He is the son of the
worlds grand champion whose sire
was purchased by Ed Kearnes at Stan
ton, Neb., for $4,000 and later sold to
q Kansas breeder for $1,000. The dam
Of Great King Orion was out of Reeds
Top Colonel, one of the best of the
breed. Bert will, have Is boars sired
by this wonderful hog for sale in Sep
TENDER. The brood soWs from which
these rs are offered weigh from 500
to 500 pounds and are sired by 3D. HIS
Crimson Wonder Another animal in
which Mr.. Hunt takes considerable
pride is Royal Wonder" a boar that
he has had for the past two years, and
the fall bears Mr.. Hunt is advertising
in the Pure Breed column Of this pa
per are sired by this. animal. Bert
raised 100 head Of pigs this spring.
Mrs. Hunt is a firm believer in pure
bred stock and she now has more than
100 pure Rhode Island Red chickens,
and expects many more.
