LOW TEMPERATURE IS BEST
Churn Should Not Contain More Than
Two-Thirds of Its Capacity to
Inaure Good Butter.
When ready to churn care should be
taken not to put too much cream In
the churn. The churn should not con
tain more than two-thirds of its cupao
ity, Much weak and shortrbodled but
ter la caused by overloading the churn
and churning at the wrong tempera
ture. Salvy, mottled and streaked
butter la often due to an uneven tem
perature of the waah water uaed dur
ing the working proceaa. A good bod
led butter Ib uaually inspired by a low
temperature, but a high temperature la
almost sure to cauae m weak bodied
product
Sometimes butter ia difficult to
^gather," especially when a combined
chum la being uaed. The grain of the
butter aeems to be worn out by the
mass of partly gathered butter pouud
ing and pouring over the inside por
tions of the churn and by the worker,
and when the butter is finally worked
it is brittle and weak bodied.
Do not have the temperature of the
waah vary very much from that of the
butter, but if the butter comes at so
high a temperature as to make it soft,
the wash water must be cold enough
to harden the butter, so that it will
bear working without overworking or
destroying the grain of the butter and
giving it a salvy appearance.

8eat for the Milker.
In the 4*iry where the herd ia of
any considerable proportions the mat
ter of getting around among the ani
mals at milking time i* one of some
.magnitude and, anything of the nature
of an innovation, which will facilitate
this operation and at the same time
make for cleaner milk, will get a wel
come. A combined Btool for the milk
er and receptacle for the milk has been
? recently invented with this object. A
can somewhat larger than a bucket
hi supported on four legs ajfcd re-en
forced for the purpose of supporting
the weight which it Is called upon
to do. The top is covered and the
lid acts as a 6eat for the operator.
Pail and 8eat Combined.
f
Introduced near the top is a funnel
arrangement having an outlet spout
and an inlet opening. As the milk
is dra,wn from the cow it flows into
the can through this funnel extension.
This apparatus relieves the dairyman
jot the necessity of carrying both the
'stool and milk can, as he must do un
der ordinary circumstances and at the
same t|me the' milk passing so direct
ly from the source of supply to the
can, the possibilities of contamination
are greatly reduced.
AVERAGE PRODUCT OF A COW
Two Hundred and Forty Pounds of
?utterfat Should Be Produced
. In Year From Animal.
A good dairy animal should pro
duce 240 pounds of butterfat a year.
If she produces a milk testing five
per cent fat hat- production of milk
must be 5,000 pounds. If the milk Is
four per cent it is equivalent to 6,000
pounds and if three per cent to 8,000,
pounds.
It the cow is dry sli weeks out of
the year her dally average of butter
fat will b'e about three-fourths of a
pound.
- If the herd can be made to average
thjs amount dafly it is an excellent
record to maintain. There are herds
that win average more than this, but
they are fqw and far between.
Pairy vs. Poultry.
The cows will return xnondy, or its
equivalent, each day in the year, and In
a way it will less worry than to get
iVfrbis poultry. A cow isn't- is easy
to stop in her milk flow as a hen .is to
stop in her egg flow, nor is she as hard
to get back to the normal. The money
Invested is much greater, so this oft

WHAT A GRATE FIRS DID.
"Don't you adore a irate fire?" Lydla
drew up her cb^r before the grata
and prepared h^telt for the court

The grate was Myra'a.
"Yes." replied Myra. "but 1 think
they are dangerous."
"Because of the sparks?" Innocently
demanded Lydla.
"Well, yea, if you use tho word
'sparks* In the old-fashioned sense."
"Gracious!" exclaimed L?ydla. "1
had no such thought. But why should
they be dangerous In that way?"
"Simply." explained Myra. "because
a grate Are Is so conducive to sen
timental dreamlngs that I never knew
a man and a woman to sit down before
one but straightway they would fall
to romancing; and If they were young
and unmarried ten to one they would
be persuaded, by the subtle and per
suasive Influence of the fire, to ex
change vows, or to do something equal

"How absurd!" laughed Lydla. "Did

was thinking of Irene Lelghton and
Cllve Wheaton when I spoke. Of;
course they were both of a sentimental
nature, ahd they were a bit smitten
with each other before he made his
first call, but at the same time I don't
believe he would ever have proposed
to Irene If she had not seated him
before a beautiful grate Are upon that
first evening."
"Dear me!" Lydla drew nearer to
the dangerous flames. "Do you mean
to say that he fell into the fire, speak
ing metaphorically, the minute ho sat
down?"
"Oh, I don't suppose he proposed
Instantaneously after taking hlB seat,
but he Is excessively literary, and he
began by recalling various scenes in
his favorite novels where the hero and
heroine had talked their affairs over
before a Are, and then he asked Irene
whether she had,, ever read the 'Rever
ies of a Bachelor.' "
"And she had?" breathlessly de
m and ed Lydla.
"No, she hadn't," went on Myra. "So
he told her all about the book and
how the hero of it was a lonely old
bachelor who was accustomed to sit
before hla solitary flre and console
himself for the lack of a real com
panion by some- Creature 'out of his
fancy and out of the ashes. Then, of
course, Cllve went on to talk about his
own dreary existence and to tell how_
he had not even a flre for companion
ship, but that he had a picture of a
happy newly wedded pair sitting be
fore a flre and planning their future
together. This was the poor man's
substitute both fbr a lire and for a
wife." ? ^
"And of course Irene couldn t re
sist remarks so touching and original,"
put in Lydla.
"She couldn't! When he went home
that evening they had already planned
on which side of their living room
they would have the grate and whether
they would burn coal or wood."
"That w&tf- lovely," sighed Lydla.
"But don't you dare tell me that the
cold glare of day or the sight of the
ashes in the grate caused her to re
pent the next morning*"
"Well, If she ropented she never
admitted the fact," declared Myra.
"for Irene, with all bar sentimental
ity, is a girl of pluck. Just the same,
I am quite sure that If *he and Cllve
had sat down before a gas <tste on
that first evening I should never have
been Iny^ted to act as bridesmaid next
month."
"But I think it; was bis .knowledge
? of literature that 'fanned the -flame of
her fanoy," mused Lydia, as she me
- chanlcally took ftp th6 poker and began
to stir the flre. "It's so nnusual in
these days to meet a man who knows
anything about books or who could
recall a single heroine who had aver
heen wooed before ^a flre, so I'm not
surprised that Irene was fasoinated.
If Cllve had sat .down before her lire
and begun to talk , about Insurance
or real estate I am sure thatlrene
would not have accepted him even If
he had followed up such a conversa
tion with a proposal."
"PeThapi not," admitted Myra. "But
I do believe that It was the flre that
did It."
"What kind of drew, did Irene have
on that evening?" demanded Lydla.
"You know that costume has a great
deal to do with such situations, and if
she wore the kind of gown that lends
itself to flrelight and if she sat! near
enough to the blase so that her fea
tures could be illuminated by the ft*
fnl flame,* ti the novelists put it,
yrhYt I can easily understg^ Cllve' s
details," laughed Myra. "I only know
'that the flre was the matchmaker."

COAL MINERS' CLOCKS.
Tilling the Time of Day by ? Lump or
ar, Oil Flask.
Do you know that every miner when
descending Into the pit to work takes
with him ? couple of clocks? These
?re not ordinary tliuopleeea. for they j
have neither wheels, springs, dials nor
any of the Usual appurtenances. The
'?clocks" are simply his lamp and oil j
flask. Dy noting the quantity of oil
consumed- or that left?the miner can !
tell (o within p few minutes any hour
of the day or night 4
When a miner's lamp goes out, as .it
not infrequeutly does, in almost any
Circumstances he must not relight it
himself. Instead, though he may be
Jfegt Id pitch darkness. . he must grope ,
l?ls way to the lamp cabin or to some
other point where he can obtain the
proper assistance. He does the "grop
ing" with hi* hands, stooping down;
until he touches the tram lines along
which the coal Is taken, and sliding
his hands along the metal until be
reaches his destination or meets some
one going in the same direction.
A eon I hewer's earnings depend on
the weight of coal bo gets and also on
the number of fathoms cut. A. cubic
yard of coal weighs about eighteen
trtindred weight, and the outstretched
arms of an average man extend to
about one fathom. By these measure
ments. independent of the Official ones,
each man can roughly calculate his
earnings for any particular "shift"?
