After the creuut has risen, it is ad visable t ?* keep it cool after taking it off t be milk. Keep each bach of cream Heparate until ' 7 or H Jiouru before churtilng. Then mix thoroughly and expose the cream to au ordinary room temperature, of about, 70 degrees, until it Hours. Neve r ( burn sweet cream. The Churn should always be well scalded before using. After scald ing, rinse the churn with cold wa ter to bring It to the temperature Of the cream to be churned. Cream should bo jU such a temperature that butler will come ill thirty-five to forty-five fnlnhtes: Stop churn ing when the granules of butter are aboiu the size of grains pf whe^t. At this stage all -the butter has coini) and It is easy to wush. If the butter is allowed to gather in lurge lumps It will be impossible to wash it well. ,, When the butter has come and Is in the condition described, draw ^>ff~tlic buttermilk and add enough water to float1 the butter. The tem perature of this water should be slightly below that of the cream when the cream was put into thb churn. sAfter adding the w^ter, shake the churn so that every grain of butter will come in contact with ?the water. It is better to wash butter twice, but too much washing will Impair the flavor. T?e ' wash ing process is for the purpose of removing all the buttermilk remain ing in the churn. After the second wash wuter has been drawn off, take the butter out of the churn and put It on a work er. While, it is still In the gran ular form! add an ounce of the best table salt to every pound of butter; Work in the salt with the paddle or ; lever of the worker, but never with j the handB. The object of working is to get out the excess water and to dlsttribute the salt. Work un til the butter has a waxy appear ance. Too much working will ruin ?the grain and cause the butter to look greasy. At this season of the year very little if any color need be used, but if color is to be added; it should be put into the churn just after the cream is put in. Mr. Kitchens Dead.

The bulletin, which will soon bo will contain statistics for each state for each year from 1890 to 191 3, inclusive, as far as statin-* tics are available, oud will also con tain details for the year moat near ly^ corresponding to 1880, thus mak ing It possible to show the general movement during a period of over 30 years. The bulletin will show the total debt of tho states as well Ah many details, ?Uch as the various class, k of outstanding bonds and sPWlHl debt obligations lo public trust funds. R will also show the noating debt and its component parts. I'nder "Funds and invest ments'" WU| be shown separately all dlfforent funds, and in each case cash and securities will be shown. The population of the states for eactf year under consideration will bo "Bed, and the per capita debt, loss sinking fund aisots, will be given. , An inspection of the tables for. South Carolina in the bulletin soon to be issued shows that the bond ed Indebtedness changed very slight ly during the period covered, $6 - 801,000 in 1890 falling to $6,444,' 000 Jn 1912. The special debt ob ligations to public truust funds* in creased from $192,000 I if 1&90 to $250,000 In 1912. Tho floating debt changed constantly from year to year, though the general tenden cy was to increase, $364,000 in 1890 advancing to^417,000 in 1912. Ill tho case of funds and invest ments tho securities fluctuated greatly, rising from $266,000 in 1890 to $1,09,000 in 1912. Tho caBh changed naturally with each year, increasing in the sum of $663,000 during tho period. 1 lie sinking fund assets increased hroughout the two decades but! reached ho maximum, $984,000, in 1911, falling to $922,000 in 1912. Tho debt, less sinking fund assets! I was appreciably less than the total! debt. rho debt of the state decreased more than a million dollars during the ^0-year period, and tho popula tion increased materially, hence, the! per capita debt declined nearly fip per cent. . % j In 1880 the total flfebt of South Carolina at the do3o of the fiscal yoar, October 31, was $7,478^)00; in 1897 it reached the minimum, $6, 953,000, but subsequently advanced to $7,112,000. The poulafion of tho state increased from 996,000 in* 18 80 to 1,555,000 in 1912, which com bined with tho decreased indebted ness to bring about a reduction In per capita debt. In 18S0 the per capita debt was $7.51; in 1890 v it was $6.35; and in 1912 had decline ed to $3.98. In contrast with the state of South Carolina, we find that, taking tho entire debt, less sinking fund assets, for the 48 stages, the per capita debt, according to the latest report, is $3.52, or $0.46 less than the per capita debt for South Car olina. Comparing the decrease In the per capita debt of &outh Caroli na and the 48 states, for the 30 year period, we find that $5.48 fell to $3,52 In the average for tho 48 States, and $7.51 to $3.98 in South Carolina. A-t the present time about 1.6 per cent of the total population of the United Statea will be found In South Carolina, and 1.8 per cent Of the total debt, less sinking fund assets, is attributed to that state.

When the time came for ralBlng the funds, It looked very doubtful If It could be done thaj night, as many prominent business men were detained from the meeting and It was from them that a large contrl I butlon was expected, but the boost ers refused to let the enthusiasm drag and at adjourning time, tho necessary amount had been pledged, and committees were appointed te see thOse that were not present, aud it is . hoped that a still larger amount will be raised.
