nearly every kind Of dairy community
that can be found. The annual report
of the dairy division shows that there
are now about 12O bull associations in
30 different states Of the Union, and
among all classes of communities.
The extension men of the dairy d.
vision find that in very many cases,
when the idea of a bull association is
discussed, people think that, while
such an organization is clearly q good
thing on general principles, the con-
ditions in their particular community
are not suitable. Many times, in such
places, it has been tried, and to the
surprise Of some it has been found
that the conditions did not stand in
the way at ALL There are many such
communities. They have men en-
gagged in dairying; they have scrub or
other inferior bulls which should be
replaced; and they have the need for
better bulls
Any community in which there are
200 or more cows can better afford
to have bull association than it can
afford to be without one; and if the
people of the community are neighbour
ly and able to work together in every
day business affairs, they can just as
well have a strong association with
all its benefits.

that no medicine for colds and infiu-

exultant as he sank down into his

He saw to it that at least a meas
ure Of preparation was made for his
coming. That night a long wire went
out to the Chamber of Commerce of
one of the larger southern Oregon
cities. In it, he told the date of his
arrival and asked certain directions.
He wanted to know the name Of some
mountain rancher where possibly he
might find board and room for the re-
mainder of the summer and the fall.
The further back from the paths of
men, he wrote, the greater would be
his pleasure. And he signed the wire
with his full name: Dan Failing, with

the end.

COLOR PREFERRED IN BUTTER
That Which Is Not Too Pale Is Gen.
orally Favored-QuaIity Not
Always Affected.

The color of good butter should be
clear and even throughout. Although
the shade of the color does not always
affect the quality of the butter, pref
erence is generally given to that which
is not too pale in color. When the
cream is churned at too high a tenn
perature, the butter comes quickly,
but loses much Of it's natural color.
Churning at too low a temperature,
and consequently for too long a time,
also destroys the color Of the butter
produced. Color in butter is often
spoiled through overwashing or over
working it, Butter is of q paler color
from sweet cream than from ripened,
as in the former case there is more
buttermilk in the finished product.

FOR CLEANING MILK BOTTLES
Cold or LukeWarrn Water Prevents
Hardening and Sticking Of Albu-
men and Casein.

When milk bottles are allowed to
stand. the casein hardens on them and
II is almost as difficult to remove as
when it is burned on by the use Of hot
water. If if is necessary to let your
milk bottles stand for any length of
time, it is best to pour cold, or luke
warm water into them, which will pre-
vent the hardening and sticking of the
alhunen and casein. Then, when it be-
comes time to wash them, lukewarm
water can be used followed by hot
water, boiling water or live steam.
By this method, the bottles will be
clean, and all bacteria will be killed
by the hot water.

ROCKVILLE MARYLAND FRIDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER TO- 1920

Sue In the least-rather 1t spurred her
impulse of universal conquest into
making almost open assault on his af-
fections. She did 1t so gayly, with
such touches Of dainty malice as made
1t more effective. Billy first blushed
and ran away, then listened, then
laughed contentedly, even agreeing to
take an extra passenger back to Tex
as but reserving some liberty of choice.
Olive looked on, smiling stubbornly
but with heart like lead. 1t helped
a little to have young George Miller
her shadow, proposing as often as she
gave him q kind word. Not n bad sort
she wished devoutly she could love
him-but since she could not, had no
thought of making of him consola-
ton purse. Then there was Lily Gray
son, whose world was bounded four
square by Cousin George. Olive wept
vainly over the hopeless tangle, what
time she was not laughing at Lisbeth
and young Neighbor Edward Grayson
whose world was for the time being
bounded by themselves.
Things were at this pass when Billy
sprang the Rest Cure. All other fes
tlvities had so palled he insisted upon
taking all hands to green, shady
meadow In the upper river valley
there to listen to the birds singing YES
pers while they watched the SUN set
gorgeously In long dun distance.
Nothing to cot but bread and water,
with scant mitigations Of hot roasting
ears, and blackberries, both acquired
on the way. The acquiring made Billy

lit darkness before the corn was prop
erly In the fire.
II was too warm to sit about the fire,
so the company fell properly into soil
tudes Of two. Billy was the last to seat
himself-and Fate ordained him to
choose bis partner by her hat. A blue
hat, wide Of brim, with only RIB
bon and rose outside, he thought he
knew who wore 1t beyond peradven-
ture. Therefore he burst out husk-
lily as he sat down: "Tell newly

"Why, + Suppose you ask her"
came In muffled voice, clearly trem-
ulous. Billy reached for hand CON
veniently near, squeezed 1t n bit and
said banteringly: "Now, nowl Don't

renectively from under the blue hat
At the same moment came q shout
a squeal, rather Enthusiastically 'Rinh-
Sues. "Corn, Billy Corn Rescue

Lets do It." said the blue hat, get
ting up quickly, with happy giggle.
"Agreed-but that must work two
ways" Billy retorted as he also rose.
And then quite unconsclously he found
soft warm young hand slid softly
within his own.

what his politics were until noon of
election day. Thus nanny and Olive
were the steadfast minority. "Real
mulish once they took notion" said
their family. Possibly the mullshness
was a throw-back to the old colonel,
mammy's father, who had flouted his
cOllege-bred sons belief In round
earth, rolling about a rounder sun.
That has, however, little to do with
the case Of the hat. 'Riah-Sue from
the bed called drowslly. "Want to
swap 'Livy for my blue straw?
haven't worn 1t much"
"a whole month-and most every
day." Olive interjected. Besides, my
hat is heap finer"
"But-you don't like town up,
now" 'Riah-Sue retorted, sliding ont
Of bed. In half a minute she had
perched upon Olives head the blue
straw, also set upon her own tumbled
tawny locks the array Of golden tans
barely touched with blue and dark red
that certainly became her wonderfully.
Olive looked at herself In the mirror,
then at her sister, rosily blinking;
looked away, swallowed hard once,
then flung up her hand, saying tense
ly: "Have 1t your way-but hate
swapping things"
"Even beauxT 'Rlah-Sue asked with
q smile Of contented malice. Olive
ran away from her, but with a flush
that was as betraylng as It was becom-
Ing, angrily glad Of the way out that
had been found for her.
She did not see the blue hat again
for fortnight, miserable fortnight,
though crammed full Of gay golngs-on.
The Graysons, next neighbors, com
fortably rich and jolly, were doing ev-
efything possible for their young kin
fox up from Texas, who bubbled over
with high spirits even as their oil wells
dubbed over with riches. The five Of
them had come up in two big cars,
handsome but not extensively over
equipped. The uniformed chauffeur
was indeed almost the sole piece Of os-
tentation, since each Of the three Gray
sons and the two Mlllers knew more
about his job than he did, and dearly
loved doing It. "But It's tony, to have
him." Llsbeth Miller explained frank
ly. "Grandad's ordered us, Put on all

like to mind him-all except Billy
Grayson. Old sobersldes, I do believe
he would rather walk the thousand
miles up here than come in even an

Notwithstanding the sOberness, Billy
had taken Olives heart by storm in
their earliest encounter. Naturally,
being what she was, she had been high
and distant with him, fearing to be-
tray her enthrallment. Gallant TO ev-
erythlng feminine, he yet played no

crawled around the tree three times
and so entangled the line that IL could

Few persons considering the cost Of
living realize that more than $700,000,-
900 Is added to the cost Of their food,
clothing and other necessities each
year because Of the waste caused by
damage, unscientific loading and the
tremendous cost Of packing these
commodities. The railroads and the
shippers realize II, as shown by their
conducting campaign to reduce TO
the minimum the waste through dam
age, and to utilize to the utmost the
capacity of freight cars, which are
hauled half empty.
These are some Of the Items which
enter into this waste estimate-dam-
age and theft, $100,000,000; wasted
lumber used only once In packing
cases, $240.000,000; empty car space,
$209,O00,000; and the staggering cost
TO the railroads Of hauling half empty
cars more than 6,0O0,O0000O miles,
$157000,000. 1t is estimated that from
10 to 20 per cent OF the cost of food
stuffs goes to pay for the crates
which are thrown away.
