"I would like to look at some house hold goods," said the tall brunette as she entered the big furniture shop. "You see, I expect to be married soon." "Ah, Indeed," said the polite clerk; "just step this way. We have special Inducements for young couples start ing In housekeeping. When Is the glad event to come off?" "Well er the day hasn't been Bot tled yet." "Oh, I see; the lucky man has Just proposed, and " "No, he hasn't proposed yet, but " "Ah, he Is going to propose. How long has he been calling?" "Well, he hasn't started calling yet, but " "What Is the young man's name?"

MUCH CARE IS NECESSARY IN MAKING BUTTER IN WINTER B ,BI" Great Trouble Is Experienced by Not Ilnvlncj Temperature at Right Point and Because Crenm lias ot Ripened" Properly-Some People Claim Food Has Much to Do With It. . L; ... , gppb Daisy Grace DeKol, (By A. GAUJCUIKn. Ohio.) A great many people have trouble with their cream and butt or during the winter months; others have more or less trouble all the time. Why? Simply because there is something wrong with their method of caring for the cream or churning but ter. Sometimes the butter will not "come" with a reasonable amount of churning. One complains of white specks in the butter; another says the butter has a peculiar hitter taste, and so it goes. Some of the people use cream sepa rators, while others do not. However, it Is safe to say that in either case the cream is not In the proper condi tion to be churned. Either the temperature Is at fault or else the cream has not been prop erly "ripened" probably both com bined. Some people contend that tho food which a cow consumes has more to do with the conditions of the cream than the way In which it is ripened and churned. However this may be, there is no denying the fact that a well-fed, well-cared-for cow will give richer milk and more of it than one that Is half starved and otherwise neglected. The word abused might bo substi tuted for neglected. There should be a law passed to punish thoughtless people who drive their cows with dogs. We never have any trouble with our cream or butter at any season of the year. AVe are not in the dairy business and therefore have never tried any Improved methods so essential to suc cess whea the business is conducted upon a large scale. One of cur cows Is a family pet. She is very old and not bo very pro fitable, but she gets the same care that the others do. We have all the milk, cream and butter that we can use the year around and some butter to sell quite a little more In proportion to the num ber of cows kept than most of our neighbors. Last winter we milked two cows all winter and kept an account of the butter we sold. During the coldest part of the win ter, from December 20 to January 20, we churned and sold 66 pounds and 10 ounces. Of this amount HVa pounds was the product of ten days' milk, minus that which we kept for table use. This, we think, is a pretty good showing for two cows such as ours; for, being ordinary farmer folk, we keep ordi nary cows; but they are well cared for and in consequence they give good returns. During the fall and winter months they are kept in the stable every night; in the summer they have an open shed for shelter. They always have pasture In sea son and a little ground grain twice a day. When pasture begins to get soarce late in the summer, we ffed green fodder or some other green roughage to take its place. In the winter they have plenty of good hay and fodder besides grain three times a day; about two quarts of feed for each cow. Corn and oat chop or equal parts corn mean bran with a little oil meal added is the usual grain ration in the winter. Two quarts of ground grain added to about two gallons of cut clover makes a satisfying meal for a cow. The clover is always scalded before the grain 13 added. We add a little salt and then mix thoroughly. Wooden candy buckets are U3ed. These buckets are large and last quite a while. ( Sometimes apples, rutabagas or pumpkins (without the seed) are given instead of the scalded clover, but the clover, we find, gives very satisfactory results. In either case the amount of ground grain is the same. Whole grain not being suitable feed for milch cows, we have tried crushed corn, but our cows do not give as much milk when it is being fed, probably on account of the cob. Bran and cornmeal, equal parts, with a half pint of oil-meal added, gives excellent results. Our cows, like all the rest of the live stock, have plenty of good water to drink. In very cold weather we take the chill off the water, for when the water is very cold or partly frozen cows will not drink as much as they require, and cows need a great deal of water. Now, for our method of caring for the milk: Tho cows are milked regu larly morning and nlht, always bo ln fed before the milking is begun. The BtrlppliiE. cr labt pint of each milking, Ih kept s ;..irnio and strained Into the cream Jur. Two jars are UHed nnd whenever one Is full the next churning is started. That Is, all fresh cream Is put into the other jur. Aboout the time tlx) second Jar Is full, the first is ready to be churned; sometimes a little before. If It Is too slow about ripening, a little buttermilk is stirred in. In the winter it UBUiilly requires about 24 hours for the cream to ripen after the Jar Is full. Tho cream Is stirred frequently. This helps the ripening process. Fresh milk added to tho cream ulso helps. The sooner the cream Is churned after It is thick, tho better, for If It sits too long k will get too sour. This is sometimes the cause of the specks and also the peculiar flavor found In butter. Scalding the cream will also causo trouble, sometimes. However It should be kept above freezing always. Wo keep our cream Jars near th kitchen range when the weather is very cold. A wonderful Ilolstein, Daisy Grace DeKol, of Maplecrrst farm at Kala mazoo, Mich., is shown in the illus tration. This cow has produced more butter In seven days than any other cow of her oge, the official record be ing 32.50 pounds. In 00 days she pro duced 352.87 pounds. It coBts no more to feed a cow of this character than s scrub. HAY STACKER IS HANDY IMPLEMENT Illustration Shows One That Is Cheap and Easily Made Found Useful on Any Farm. Here is a cheap and easily made outfit that will save much time In stacking hay. Anyone handy with tools can build It, says a writer In the Farm and Home. The sills, a, are 12 feet long, built of 3-inch plank, 14 Inches wide. The mast, p, is a straight pole 23 feet long and 7 Inches in di ameter at the top. The braces, b, are 18' feet long by 4 Inches square all around. The pole, d, Is 18 feet long by 4 inches in diameter, and this needs to be of oak, ash, yellow pine or some wood that will not easily break. Tho Derrick for Building a Stack. brace, c, is 7 feet long by 4 inches, e is 10 feet by 4 inches, and 1 8 feet by 4 inches. The cross-sills, f, are 10 feet long and 3x12 Inches. Slope both ends of the sills, a, so they will slide easily. Put an iron band on each end of the mast to keep It from slipping. Make a -lnch hole in tho bottom of the mast and drive an iron pin into it which will project and fit into a hole in the mid dle sill. The arm, b, is fastened to the mast to an iron socket, x, which is bolted to the arm. The lower end fits into the mast and should work smoothly, so that It can be turned eas ily. This attachment should be made 5 feet from one end and 13 from the other. Fasten a pulley to each end of the arm and another one to (he base of the sill. The arms e and c are fas tened to the mast and are put through the toggle, k, which turns easily up on it. It requires 70 feet of one-inch rope to work this outfit. If you wish to make two stacks without moving the outfit, merely shift the pulley on the sill to the opposite end. S INDEPENDENCE AND MONMOUTH RAILWAY .
