THE CITIZEN, Fill DAY, MARCH 1010. DAIRY" ft CREAMERY! VALUABLE TO DAIRYMEN. Keeps Fluid Clean and Facilitates ' Handling of Vessel. ! Two purposes are nerved by tho ' comoinea cover nnn nnnaie ior miiK Jars designed by a Massachusetts man, as the name of the device 'Indi cates. Tho cover la n circular piece ot flat metal with clasps extending downward so as to engage the upper ond of the neck of the jar or bottle. The handle, which Is connectpd with the covor, has Its lower ends extend ing downward so as to form lock-buttons, which keep the top from slid ng off the Jar laterally. The device can bo adjusted In n twinkling, but It will not come off unless the handle Is turned at right Riigles with the Jar. When a bottle of milk is being car-1 rlcd by this moans It ran be swung around with no fear of the top coming j oft if anybody wants to swing It around. The Improvement of this de vice over tho paper tops used on milk Jars is readily apparent. It costs more in the beginning, but Easily Put On and Stays On. in the long run it will outwear thou sands of paper tops and has the addi tional advantage of providing a han dle. Care with Cream Pays. The care which the cream receives determines what kind of butter It will make. It Is not enough, as some farmers do not seem to realize, to skim or separate the milk and expect the cream to take care of itself. The advent of the hand separator has not helped matters in this direction. On the contrary, it has worked the other way. There are some farmers who seem to consider that If they run their milk through the machine and deliver the cream to the creamery once or twice a week they have done all they are supposed to. This is a sad mistake, as many creamery men are finding out. The ability of the butter maker Is a very important mat ter, but it cannot bo the only consid eration. No butter maker can make a prime product out of Improperly handled cream. Prize Cow Tests. At the Oregon State fair, an offi cial test of three Jerseys, three Hoi steins, and three Ayreshires, the fol lowing results were shown: The Holsteins gave 209.13 pounds of milk and 10.083 of butter-fat. The Ayr shires gave 260.4 pounds of milk and 9.835 pounds of butter fat. The Jer seys gave 229.11 1-4 pounds of milk and 9.709 pounds of butter fat. The admirers of the Ayrshires make a great deal of this test, as showing the capabilities of tho breed. Guess Work with Cows. We are sorry to say it, but with most farmers it is purely guess work as to whether his cows are paying their way or not. They nre strangers to the milk scales ami the Dabcock tester, and they do not care for any new ideas about balanced rations, use of silage, etc., and the result is that they barely grub out a living. But thank goodness such farmers are crowing less every year. Manicure the Milkers. Insist on cleanliness in those who do the milking. Before milking they should wash their liandn with soap and should then thoroughly dry thorn. The finger nails should also bo clean ed. AsMlttle dust as possible should be stirred up. Dust from moldy hay will float around and fall into the milk. Where Danger Lurks. It is hard to believe that there are dangers lurking In milk. Its very whiteness bespeaks Its purity, yet this very quality may conceal tho growth of countless germs, and Its sweotnoss may lure the drinker Into an unwar ranted sense of security. Young Calf l Dainty. The stomach of the young calf is easily ruined by slipshod muthodi of feeding- it. Bomembor this when tempted to feed it milk too hot or too cold, or in a bucket that Is not clean and sweet Keep Score on Cows. Why not get a pair of scales, a Hub cock tester and a score sheet and keep track of what each cow is doing In the way of milk yield T It is the only way you will over bo abled to weed out tbq unprofitable cowe. TALE OF A TELEPHONE BOOTH. Day Was Hot and the Genial Citizen Was Hotter. At twenty minutes to nino the gen ial citizen, resplendent In fresh linen, sailed Into the telephone booth. It was a hot day. At fltteen minutes to nine the some what less genial citizen, In somewhat less fresh linen, finally managed to attract the attention of tho sweet voiced hello girl. It was you will re calla hot dny. At ten minutes to nine n grouchy citizen In whlto linen got his party on the wire. It was hot. At five minutes to nine the wreck In question discovered that he had an entire stranger on the lino. The day grew warmer. At nine o'clock the hollo girl in formed the driveling wreck that he must not use the telephone ns a play thing. At n little after nine there Issued fiom the booth a dilapidated remnant, who drew from his pocket n dollar bill, and, first squeezing from It the moisture It had collected, laid It on the druggist's counter. "What's this?" Inquired the haugh ty drug clerk. "One Turkish bath one dollar," said tho wreck. "I pay for what I get." Oh, the Joys of modern civilization! Horrible Inflictions. Frat Secretary They say young Saphead will never recover from that hazing the fellows gave him last week. Frat President No; I like a little I fun as well as anybody, but 1 told the boys they were going too fnr with I him. No one had any kick coming if they rode him on the red-hot rail, or tied him to the cake of Ice for the night, or even kept him In the vault I two days between two nigger, corpses, I but when you tell a fellow his father I lias heard that he smokes cigarettes, land that his mother is coming to live I here the rest of the year, I call it I downright torture. A Dusty Spot. Most of the Negro messengers at the doors of Cabinet members and their assistants are well-educated men. The other day, when Secretary Knox looked at the big globe thai stands In his nfllce, he was annoyed to tlnd that the globe was dusty. "William," tho Secretary of State said to the messenger, putting a lin ger on the globe, "there's dust here an inch thick!" "It's thicker than that, sir," replied the messenger. "What do you mean??" said the Secretary sharp. "Why, you've got your finger on Ihe Desert of Sahara." ! Heavenly. ! A clever lady, who is an ardent be illever In the immortality of the ani ' mals, is often rebuked by her clerical friends, who say that "dogs and cats I would be quite out of place In Heav en." She replies: "Certainly, in our Heaven, but God would not wish them ' to pass their future life in the com- pany of those who had neglected or Ill-treated them on earth. No, God will give them a better Heaven than , that'." A Return in Kind. Mark Twain once asked a neighbor If ho might borrow a set of his books. The neighbor replied ungraciously that ho was welcome to read them in his library, but he had a rule never to let his books leave his house. Some weeks later the same neighbor sent over to ask for tho loan of Mark Twain's lawn-mower. "Certainly," said Mark, "but since I make it a rule never to let It leavo ray lawn you will be obliged to use It there." HE HAD SAMPLED IT.

Of Interest to Women English Wedding Receptions to Go Their Place to Be Taken by a Party the Day Before the Ceremony Presents Displayed at Time Party Is Held. It seems quite possible that the re ception after a religious ceremony nt ono of the fashionable churches will In time cease to figure as a social funct ion in England. It s becoming In creasingly tho fashion for tUe bride's mother to have an afternoon or even ing party on the day before the wed ding, nt which the presents are dis played In all their glory and then on the wedding day Itself to restrict invi tations to tho house after the serlce to Immediate friends and relntlves only. This has been tho plan adopted at soveral recent London weddings. From what ono hears It may ho very gen erally imitated, so that in time tho once Indispensable wedding recep tion may become as ojioleto as tho wedding breakfast of tho Victorian era, when all marriage ceremonies In church were bound by law to be con cluded before noon. "I do not think any of us would re gret very deeply tho disappearance of the aforesaid wedding reception," say3 a writer In the Gentlewoman. "Three o'clock in tho afternoon is not an hour nt which any one is feeling much inclined for a party, no one ever know what to do, moreover, for the hour Is too early for tea, too late for luncheon, while the only rofuge for the destitute looking at and appraising the wed ding presents is generally rendered nugatory by the fact that every oue else wishes to do exactly the same thing at tho same moment. "Most of us In consequence cer tainly such as are of the male sex generally stayed about five minutes and then fled precipitately; whereas under the new arrangement of a party the day before any hostess is at liber ty to choose her own hour for show ing off her daughter's presents, and as this would probably be either at tea time or after dinner we should all feel a great deal more sociably in clined than two or three hours earlier. "All things considered therefore if this new fashion does take on, it will really conduce to the happiness of many, and it will be no bad thing either to divide the sacred and secu lar parts of the wedding festivities more decidedly than they are at pres ent." ' ELECTRIC HAIR DRYER. Simple Apparatus for Drying Wom en's Hair After Shampooing. How often some lady has made tho remark: "I would like a good sham poo at home before going to the the atre, but cannot, because my hair is so abundant that it takes forever to dry." An electric hair dryer that seems to meet this want has been recently perfected by a New York man, and by its use the exhilarating effects of a good shampoo can be enjoyed in tho privacy of tho home. This hair dryer Is mado of aluminum, being very light in weight and readily held In ono hand, Powor is obtained for operation from the ordinary Incandescent elec tric light sockeL By an Ingenious ar rangement either cold or warm air can be obtained. The air Is obtained from a little electric fan which re volves inside the dryer. To obtain tho warm air current the heat is gen erated by having tho current llov through n resistance coll. More Pay for Working Women. Mrs. McCullogh emphasizes tho point that equally desirable with the ballot Is equal pay for women who are doing tho same work as men. but who In all cases get far smaller salaries. "Men are Btlll grabbing all tho fat salaried Jobs," she suyB, "but wo worn- Lcn must advanco the economic condi tions of our sex." She also asserts that It is time women got u few of tho well-paid political Jobs which ofttlmos aro given to men of mediocre ability. She Insists there aro many women who are able lawyers, but they novor nro appointed assistant district attor neys nor are others equally competent with men made heads of city depart ments. Nevertheless, she assured her audience that the ballot for wumou In this country merely Is a vote they not only will raise the moral and economic condition of their sex. but that of the men also. "No woman ever worked for an immoral or a graft bill" were hor closing words. Klcbter: The only medlcino which does women more good than harm la dieaa. FOR A !OHOtXXOttOCOQJOCttOOO'K00;i Theme: MASTERS OF DESTINY. BY REV. C. Q. WRIGHT, CHAPLAIN U. S. NAVY, i- .j. Text: Set your mind on the things that are above. Colo&tlanB, 111., 2. I- -1- A groat balloon cnrrylng several men wont up the other dny. It was driven helplessly by tho strong wind on nn unfortunnte course, and hasten ed to drop to earth and safety before half the proposed voyage had been ac complished. At about the same hour a ship sailed from the snrno vicinity, in the same strong wind, and In spite of this wind pressed on to her destina tion successfully. Herein Is a fine parable of life. Its winds do blow, whatsoo'r way we go go east, go west, go north, go south. Ballooons go with every wind that blows; dirigibles go whore they point. Straws drive with the breeze, but live birds fly whither they please. So tho ships of tho sea, despite winds, tides, currents and billows, work their way on till the anchor Is cast at the port for which they started. Life is a God-given warfare, a heav ensent gale, and we are born children of battle nnd storm. Ours to accept equipment, to take stores, charts and course, to set and manage sails and to conquer voyage and victory. Yes, ours! For we are apt to get what we truly desire and heartily go after. All tho ways In which we ought to go aro kept eternally free, though often they bo found rugged and dan gerous. It is for us to learn that we can become more rugged and dnnger ous than anything this world can mar shal in our way and, furthermore, as we aro Its appointed masters, they are here for our service and convenience and benefit when we will compel them. Life Is a royal excursion the great est voynge, tho mightiest campaign, the noblest quest of the ages. Hut men make It so. It is so for our sakes, and only if we make good. Great nnd fine as it Is in possibilities, we can wreck or waste it, confuse and blast It. Now we all think we want to "get there." to "make good," to "arrive." But do we? And If so, how? Wo must moan it, and make some reasonable plan and preparation and start right at least. Of course, in a moral and spiritual way, wo need the heavenly equipment and light, but these mny be taken for granted, as already bestowed, when one has ad justed himself to the divine will is pointed right. And this higher provid ence will ever attend to meet all the emergencies incident to such a conse crated life. So tho great matter Is the pointing, tho course planned, whether we are trimmed and lashed toward Tarshish or tacking and sheeting homeward to the port of peace. The Gethsemane of Life. For every one of us, sooner or later the Gothsomnne of life must come. It may bo tho Gothsemane of struggle and poverty and care; It may bo the Gethsemane of long and weary sick ness; It may be the Gethsemane of farewells that wring tho heart by the deathbeds of those we love; It may be the Gothsemane of remorse and well nigh despair for sins that we cannot ovorcomo. Yet, In that Gethsemane aye, even in that Gothsemnno of sin no angel merely, but Christ himself, who boro the burden of our sins, will, If wo seek hlra, come to comfort us. He will, If, being In agony, we pray, Ho can be touched. He Is touched with tho feeling of our infirmities. He, too, has trodden the winepress of agony alone; he, 'too, hns lain downcast In the night upon tho ground and the comfort which then came to hlm ho has bequeathed to us even the com fort, tho help, tho peace, tho recovery, tho light of hope, the faith, tho sus taining arm, the healing anodyne of pray or. Dean Farrar. The Right Kind of Deacons. Fortunate aro tho ministers and there are a good mnny of them on this side of tho wator. though not so many as in Congregational churches In Eng land who can say of their deacons what Dr. Campbell Morgan says of his at Westminster Chapel. London: "My staff is a perpetual source of strength to me. With consecration of the most practical kind they are tolling as though tlmo were already canceled In the sense of eternity, while In tho midst of the wear and tear and thero Is much of It tho song of God's ulti mate victory seems ever In their hearts." Congregatlounllst. Wrong Start. Tho woaknoss and insufficiency of much ot our thinking Is In that wo do not start right. We may spend ages trying to reason from tho contradic tion of life to a kindly God nnd fall. The Vision of the Ideal. We havo to keop a clear light shin Ing In any dark placo; we have to keep the flag of righteousness and pur ity flying hero; wo have to maintain the vision of the Ideal bofore us. Fairness. Let us be open-minded and fair to ward nil men; let us Judge them, but not prejudge them. Let us treat oth ers as we would have them treat us. Cruelty to Snakes. Very few of tho people who aro the proud possessors of belts, pockot books, ertd-enses, and numerous oth er articles of snakcckln, realize tho agony that tho demand of civilization for fads has meant to the original owners of the material from which these articles aro made, says a con tributor to Popular Mechanics. It Is difficult to skin a doal snake, and the skin Is often spoiled In the courso of tho operation, while, on tho other hnnd, It is a simple matter to Rkln a live sna'te, nnd the skin thus gained Is worth much more. Dad snakes bring from two to live cents, according to tbelr t-lze, and live ones from twenty-five cents to ono dol lar. One of the larjrcst snakeskln com panies has factories In Sumatra. When a Hnakc-Is received from a hunter it Is selzod adroitly by, an oporator, ono hand squeezing the neck and the other holding the tall. It Is then at tached by the neck to the trunk of n palm tree, an assistant ho'dlng it by the tall. With the point of a knife the operator cuts the skin just n'ow the head, and pulling with all his strpngth peels It from the writhing rpptllc in the same way that a woman pulls a pair of gloves from her hand. While this Is taking place the assist ant holds the body as rigid as possible. Tl;p skinned snake writhes In agony for nearly an hour before it cxpiros. Bicycles and Airships. Ono of tho most striking facts aboti- (lying Is tho ease and quickness with which the art seems to be mas terf'. under proper tuition. For exam ple. Lieutenant l.ahm has been a purli nny throe week-j. yet he mado a fl'ght of forty-live minutes, which only a little while ago would havo bof'n a record. Half an hour, says Wilbur Wright, is long enough to get the knack of the machine, but It Is to be noticed that he does not let pupils quite so green as that shift for them selves. The first stages seem not to be much more difficult or alarming than the mastery of the high bicycle of twenty years ago, which to the no vice" looked as high as a house. In fact, the well taught aeronaut seems to lose rather less cuticle during his apprenticeship than tho old-time bicy clist. The Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal, at Agra. India, is said to be the most beautiful struc ture In the world. It was built by Shah Jahan as a tomb for his wife, and ,1s of the purest white marble. It shines so dazzllngly in the sun that you can scarcely look at It except In the morning or evening. Every part is Inlaid with the most exquisite de signs in marble of different colors, the finish being so perfect that the entire building may be said to resemble In the delicacy of Its workmanship one of those Chinese caskets of ivory and ebony which are now so common in Europe nnd America. s 1 Tho Kind You Havo Always in use for over 30 years, and w47"72 sonal supervision since its infancy.
