MAKING BUTTER AND CHEESE
Increase in Profits Received by Women
in Many Sections Due to
Improved Quality.
(Prepared by the t'r.lied States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Farm women In many parts of the
country have doubled their receipts
for butter. In some Instances this in
crease in price is due to the improved
quality of the product and In others
to better marketing methods. Faith the
better quality and the better selling
have been made possible by the assist
ance given the butter makers by the
home demonstration aeonts. These ex
perts in home economics, who are sent
out by the department of agriculture
and state agricultural colleges, teach

and cheese, as well as other household

butter enough to warrant starting a
butter club, one Is organized.
These circles or clubs market co
operatively, and the quality of the
products which are sold through them
is guaranteed by the member. One
such club Is located In Neshoba oun
ty, Miss. It has had more demands
for Its butter this year than it could
fill. During the season it has supplied
three markets and shipped away about
40 pounds each week. During the first
six months of the year the Hope But

KEEP COWS CLEAN IN WINTER
Especially Difficult Task When Anl.
mail Are Confined to Stable
During Cold Weather.
During the winter season when
cows are housed much of the time It
la especially difficult to keep them
clean. The only practical way is to
prevent thern as far as possible from
becoming dirty. The practical way
to do this, BUggests Percy Werner, Jr.,
of the University of Missouri college
of agriculture, is to use the modern
stall.
When the cow is tied in such a stall
most of the droppings full Into the
glitter, the platform remains reason
ably clean so that the animal does not
become coated with manure every time
aha lies down. The munure should
he removed at leust twice each day
and plenty of bedding should be used
on the platform.
If visible dirt is present In the re
gion of the udder and flanks at milk
ing time It should be removed by
grooming. A covered milking pail,
which can be purchased at any dairy
supply house, will keep from CO to
70 per cent of the dirt out, which
otherwise falls Into the milk from the
cow during milking.
PROVED CURVATURE Or EARTH
Scientist Settled Disputed Question,
But Loser Proved Himself to Be
"Poor Sport"
It will scarcely be believed that the
question of the shape of the earth
could ever have disturbed the peace

did come before three learned judges,
and the case excited a deal of Inter
est and amazement. The circumstances
wen as follows :
The plaintiff, one Hampden, enter
tnlned the opinion that the world was
not round, and Issued an advertise
ment in a paper challenging philoso
phers, divines and scientific professors
to prove contrary from Scripture, rea
son or fact. He deposited $2.r"m in a
hank, to be forfeited to anyone who
could prove to the satisfaction of any
Intelligent referee that there was such
a thing as a convex railway, canal or
lake.
The challenge was taken up by no
less a person than the late Prof. Alfred
Iiusst-U Wallace, who proved to the
satisfaction of the referee the curva
ture to and fro of the r.erford level
canal between Whitney bridge and
Welsh's dam (six miles) to the extent
of five feet, more or less, and the
"J"i was paid over to him.
Hot he did not keep it. The plain
tiff apparently began to see that he
was making a fool of himself, and
brought an action and recovered back
his deposit on the ground that the
whole affair was a wager, and there

LURE TO THE ADVENTUROUS
Through All the Aqe Man Has Dared
Every Danger In the Search for
Beautiful Things.
Now. a thine of beauty that is rare
and difficult to obtain seems ever to
have exercised an Irresistible lure to
adventurous man. To possess It he
will suffer the hardships of the high
est mountain climb, or risk the al
most certain dangers of disease In
tropic zones. He will dare death nt
the hands of savage enemies and pur
sue his quest far Into the regions of
unknown wilds.
Into the depths of shark-infested
seas he dives with the hope of secur
ing a lustrous pearl. Then to the top
most Alpine peak he climbs for a rare
specimen of the edelweiss. A glitter
ing Jewel In an Idol's head may tempt
him to Invade the sacred products of
an Indian temple, or a beautiful flow
er lure him far Into the primeval for
ests of brazil, Colombia or I'eru.
To this spirit the civilized world
owes not only Its greatest geographic
discoveries and important additions
to scientific knowledge, hut to It is
also due the discovery of many of
nature's choicest things of beauty,
things whose practical value may be
but slight, but whose appeal Is to the
artistic and esthetic sense. National
