WOULD SELL METHOD OF DOUBLING BUTTER Clemson College, Feb. 8.? How . to make two pounds of butter come ^ where only one pound came before a and how, thereby, to get something 0 for nothing is an art that traveling s agents have been trying to teach to South Carolina farmers recently in return, of course, for proper re! wards. These agents have been 1 selling to farmers a method by e which a person can take one pound s of milk and one pound of butter e and make two pounds of a product s the agents call butter. Having $ learned of this work, the Animal e Husbandry and Dairying Division ; of Clemson College is warning farme ers to have nothing to do with it. J Many farmers, it is said, have al-;? ready bought the formula and the 1 churn that goes with it. Such a mixture, say the dairy f manufacturing experts at Clemson, can be made with butter and milk, but the product cannot be called ,t butter. It is nearer a soft cheese e like curd or cottage cheese. A n sample of such "butter" has been n | received at the college. When [.(tested it gave the following analy-, i- sis: Butt erf at. 02 percent; water 23 n percent, milk, etc., lo percent. j t Compare this with good butter, ' s which contains: Butte!fat, 83 perf cent; water. 11.5 percent; milk, salt, etc., 2.5 percent. Any butter that contains more j a than 1G percent moisture is con- I n sidered adulterated and cannot be i - Isold as butter. Farmers should use , [1 great care when trying to increase j e their yield of butter and see to it i. that they do not violate the laws I n of the United States. e "Beware cf the agent who can do | too much for you. There is no I s better churn than the barrel or ', swing for the man who has more i, than four cows," says a dairy spec!. ialist. "The farmer who has fewer - than four cows can get no better churn than the old stone jar. :, "It is a fraud to sell milk as butn ter and no farmer should attempt [. it. Skimmilk in the form of clab ber or buttermilk has a high food value, but it should never be mixed e with butter. The less milk in but ter the better, and butter than con[. tains much milk will very soon , s | spoil and become unfit for food." I dial invitati Sand CO/ f THINGS ing some r have you 1 Rr HI A. M.

"Gentlemen of the jury. The best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our j good name may become traitors to j their faith. The money that a man has he may lose. It flies away from I him, perhaps when he needs it most, j A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when fail ure settles in a cloua upon our neaas. i The one absolutely unselfish friend I that man can have in this selfish ; world, the one that never deserts him i the one that never proves ungrateful j o?* I'-eacherous, is his dog. Gentlemen of the jury, a man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely if only he may be near his j master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as it ne were a prince. When all other friends desert he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces he is as con- ; stant in his love as the sun in its j journey through the heavens. If for-1 tune drices the master forth an out-1 cast in the world, friendless and j homeless, the faithful dog asks no I higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard against danger, to fight aginst his enemies; and when the last scene of all comes and < death takes the master in his embrace and hi sbody is laid away in ; the cold ground, no matter if all < other friend pursue their way,- there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, i his eyes sad but open in alert watch- ! fulness, faithful and true even to ; death." i ion to com< ITS for Spr TO SHO1 tew goods, visit our si ENR HOW TO CHOOSE A WIFE. Age, Health, Ancestry and Education Are Leading Factors. Six hundred bachelors, some young and some pretty old, spent their luncheon hour the other day receiving "fatherly" advices from Prof. Winfield S. Hall, of Northwestern University Medical school, on "Choosing a Wife," says Tit-L,:ts. "I don't see any bald heads in the audience," said Dr. Hall, "so I take it for granted you all are good candidates for marriage. By that I mean you have sound health, are morally clean and can support a wife if you can win one. "Imagine the girls of your acquaintance lined up before you. Out of the possible six to twenty girls you are to choose a wife. Which one will you choose? "Four things must be considered? her health, her hereditary qualities, her education and her age. Exclude from the ranks the girl of poor Tf'c? o Aolomifv -fn-r o mpn tn ilCaiMl. Ab U a J.VX M ?W marry such a girl. Some of you may say the girl might get well. Let her get better before you marry her. "Let her go into the woods for a year or so and develop the ability to walk fifteen or twenty miles and return without fatigue and with Dame Nature's priceless rouge upon her cheeks. Then you may marry her, knowing she is of good health. "Don't marry a girl just because j she has a pretty figure and large, lus-! trous eyes and is a beautiful dancer, i if at 20 she has only the mind of a j girl of 12 years oid." Among other suggestions he gave | to the man considering choosing a ! wife were: Dont marry an heiress. You may become unhappy with her and her I money. Don't marry into a family where I < " j . . i_ 1 _ I , there are traces ot insanity or leeoiemindedness. i Look up the health record of her < parents and grandparents. < Avoid the daughter of a confirmed 1 alcoholic. < When he came to that part of his < lecture referring to the ages of mar- i riage he turned to the blackboard, wrote down some figures, and said: : "According to the best scientific re- ] search the figures on the board show < the relative ages at which men and ! women should marry." Here is the table as he wrote it: A man of 21 sholud marry a girl between 19 and 23 years. At 25?one between 21 and 27. At 30?one between 23 and 28. At 3o?one oeuveen zo anu <jv. At 40?one between 25 and 33. At 45?one between 25 and 35. < Ac 50?one between 40 and 50. j At 60?one between 45 and 60. 1 At 70?one between 50 and 60. z At 80?one between 60 and 70. < "When a man gets to be 50 years t old." he continued, "he should not ex- I pect to rear a family. I advise such \ a man to marry a widow with several i children. "When a man of 60 or more mar- i ries it is only for the purpose of hav- t ing a nurse during his declining years i [t is unfair for him to marry any one ? younger than him. He should marry 1 a childless widow ^r an old maid." t < I > & % \ < ? i in X ^ ma t o* V TOO ,1 ________ <&*and 11 tore i t I <K 0*P' t O5 O** ! <* Y ^ | ' & A ] j <& i ni Better Groceries!
