TIIE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, NOV. HO, 1010.
ILDREN ONLY
IN THIS CHAPEL
Boston's Giiurcti For the
Youngsters Is Unique.
WAS FOUNDED 75 YEARS AGO
Named For Rev. Charles F. Barnard, a
Unitarian Minister, Whose Power of
Interesting Juveniles and Establish
Ing Dancing Classes Won Him Steady
and Loyal Following.
The IJnrunrd Memorial chapel on
Warrenton street, In Boston's south
end, is unique. It Is and always has
been distinctively a children's church.
There the service Is carefully planned
to in cot the tastes and limitations of
children. And the little ones take
their parents to the meetings instead
of the other way round.
This church was founded three-quarters
of a century ago by Charles P.
Barnard, a Unitarian minister, who
had Oliver Wendell Holmes for a
classmate In Harvard. At that time
Mr. Barnard had a class in the II oil Is
street church, over which Rev. John
Plerpont, grandfather of J. I'lerpont
Morgan, presided. The agreement was
that Mr. Barnard should hold a spe
cial service for children In the vestry
and that they must afterward attend
the regular service in the church. To
this end they were assigned quarters
in the gallery, but it was complained
that the tattoo of their heels on the
pew board seriously disturbed the wor
shipers. Mr Barnard, however, felt that this
tattooing of the heels was nothing
more or less thnn the revolt of child
nature against the preaching for adults
to which the little ones were being
made to listen, and he resolved to
work out a nonsectarlan form of serv
ice which would Interest children. This
idea took shape in a service held In a.
hall over an old engine house, to which
children went In largo numbers from
the first Ere long the ministers of
neighboring churches began to grow
so Jealous of this that they made Bar
nard promise that no child whose par
ents belonged to another church should
attend his services without written
consent Mr. Barnard agreed to this,
but his congregation kept on growing
Just the same.
Boys' Hearts Won.
Instead of handing a tract or preaeh
lng a sermon to a group of lads pitch
ing coppers at a street corner he would
stand by for awhile, manifest a thor
oughly human Interest in tha game and
then by degrees would ask them wheth
er they had ever seen the old elm In
Cambridge under which Washington
first drew his sword, or if he and they
had got to the point of talking about
books he would dilate with' rapture on
the pleasure to be derived from "The
Arabian Nights."
Thus step by step he would draw his
hearers on to ask about his chapel,
where there were nice books to read
and from which many a merry party
went out to gather chestnuts in the
fall or to sail down the harbor In the
summer. The talk would end with an
invitation to the lads to come around
next Sunday and seo for themselves
how they liked the place.
Mr. Barnard believed that tho child
who is taught dancing has been given
grace of deportment and an instinct
for fine manners which he could have
gained in no other way. In this con
viction he was so far in ndrance of his
time that the clergy regarded him with
horror and pious folk derisively dubbed
him "the dancing parson."
The things which children were not
then taught in tho public schools
dressmaking, music and the like were,
besides dancing, features from the be
ginning of tho chapel's curriculum.
And, llko the clever settlement leaders
of the present time, Mr. Barnard inter
ested "uptown" folks to come and lead
his classes.
A dignified building in which these
classes should be held was the next
step. It was duly taken, and the cor
nerstone of the chapel which still
stands on Warrenton street, Boston
was laid July 23, 1835, tho words
"primarily for children" being a part
of its Inscription. For the first service
in tho new building 730 children were
on hand.
Simple Service in 8ecret.
Tho Rev. B. F. McDanlels, the pres
ent superintendent, carries on tho work
In the spirit of Mr. Barnard. The
church service which he conducts at
3 o'clock every Sunday afternoon
throughout the year is one which con
tains much of suggestion for those who
would like to attract more children to
their meetings.
It starts Just after the close of the
chapel Sunday school, which is not
dismissed. Instead the children in
the Sunday school form themselves
into a procession and march upstairs
to the church part of the building,
singing lustily "Onward. Christian
Soldiers," or some bucIi Inspiring hymn.
Then comes the recitation In uni
son of the declaration of faith used In
Unitarian churches. This is followed
by an anthem and responsive Scrip
tural reading. Everything is very brief.
The Scripture reading lasts only a
couple of minutes and .the sermon,
which is almost always Illustrated by
a stereoptlcon, never more than
twenty minutes. The music Is very
good, and the burden of the preach
er's appeal is always character and
wet doctrine.
DAIRY ft
CREAMERY
A CONCRETE MILK HOU8E.
Any Farmer May Make Ono at Small
Expense.
A houso for keeping milk cool In
the summer and storing fruit and
vegetables In tho winter may bo con
structed out of concrete from floor to
roof. A man In n little Missouri
town built one In tho following man
ner, says tho Kansas City Star. An
excavation was tnndo In the ground
four feet deep tho desired length and
breadth of tho building. Two posts
wero then sot in the ground at each
corner, leaving a space between them
the thloknoss of tho walls. Inch
boards a foot wide wero placed on
tho insldo of these posts next the
ground. The first layer of concrete
which was mado from cement and
tolerably coarse gravel was put be
tween thom. After this was finished
another round of boards was put Just
above the first ones and these were
filled between with concrete also.
Then another course of concreto was
put above this and so on until tho de
sired height was reached. As tho
concreto hnrdened the boards were re
moved. The door frame was set be
tween the boards In one end of tho
building when tho walls had been
built up to a level with the top of the
ground, and It was made securo by
Home-Made Concrete Milk House,
long bolts extending from the sides of
frame into the concrete walls. The
roof was mado an oval shape by
semi-circle rafters, the ends of which
rested on the top of the side walls.
After being covered over with boards
a layer of concrete was spread on,
leaving a place for a cement chimney
at the center of the roof. The rafters
and sheeting were left to glvo
strength to the concrete. The floor
was also made of cement and In
clined slightly toward ono corner
where an eight-gallon Jar had been
sunk. Into which any water might
drain. The doors of the house were
made double, one opening inward and
the other outward. When shut they
kept out the heat In summer and tho
cold In the winter.
Buying a Cow.
When I started out to replace our
herd I had nothing to rely upon but
my poor Judgment, and tho only thing
that saved mo from almost total fail
ure was that I found lots of mon who
did not know much maro about their
own cows thnn I did, never having
tested them In any way.
For Instance, I found a man In
Wlnthrop who offered mo a small
four-year-old cow for $26, and a two-year-old
that had Just dropped a calf,
for $12, which was 60 very cheap I
took them. The heifer is now four
years old, and will make when this
year Is out about 225 pounds of but
ter. The cow failed to get In calf for
a long time, went dry four months
and got very fat and dropped her first
calf last Jan. 18. She had given 5,929
pounds of milk that tested 6.8 per
cent butter fat and dropped another
calf Nov. 25, after going dry only four
weeks; If nothing happens to her she
Is going to make considerable more
than five hundred pounds of butter In
the year and dropped two calves In
the time.
To offset that I paid another man
$40 for a cow that had Just dropped a
calf and looked perfection Itself. I
thought I never saw a much hand
somer cow stand up. There has noth
ing happened to her, but if I had given
him the $40 and left tho cow with him
I should have been dollars better off.
She gives a fairly good mess of milk
when fresh, but soon begins to fall
off and goes dry half tho year.
Some of-our new herd are far ahead
of any of the old, and some are as far
behind; they will average about the
same. One of tho new ones has gone
to the butcher and others will follow
as soon as they are ready. When the
year Is out we shall publish tho re
sults realized from tho herd. Now I
want to emphasize what I have said
very many times, no man can afford
to be in the dairy business unless ho
knows precisely what each cow Is do

Oat Straw Feed.
If oat straw Is Intended for feed,
the oats should be cut beforo thoy
,are fully ripe, when tho grains are In
good dough. Oat straw if stored In
tho barn Is almost equal to timothy
hay In feeding value. ( Do not let oats
stand In tho field too long beforo
threshing.
Makes Better Milk Yield.
Many veterinarians believe that If
cows aro kopt, during cold weather.
In buildings where the temperature
Is high, the milk yield will he greater
than it they were kept In buildings
of comparatively low temperature.

Is a Man Ever Lonely?
Women should by nature make much
better agents for renting furnished
houses than men do, as they can point
out tho desirable features with persua
sive and dulcet Insistency and suggest
remedies so simple and practical for
the undesirable things that any man
and most women would bo keen to be
gin on tho suggested "doing over." Ev
cry woman Is really at heart a bon
homomaker. Like a bird, she has the
nest building Instinct, and the house
ruled and run by a woman, married or
single, has a charm and subtle refine
ment that other houses have not un
less the man is an artist or has artistic
tendencies. A man mostly longs to be
comfortable and if comfortable will
cheerfully enjoy quite hideous sur
roundings, Just so that no one touches
his pipe or his papers or "tidies up"
tho other belongings that crowd his
den. Sometimes he will feel vaguely
dissatisfied on coming back to a dreary
bachelor's apartment after dining well
In some gem of a home, but he always
consoles himself by the thought that
any alterations for style would cause
him to lose some of his comfort.
Woolen Sheets.
They are not really sheets nt all,

They are "Just the thing" for the

They are extremely light in weight

They come In attractively striped

Tho size is 72 by 84 Inches.
Designed for a similar need Is the
gauze wool blanket. Though sold in
pairs, each blanket Is bound singly.

HOW TO MAKE CIOOD IIUTTKIl.
Prof. II. K. Vnn Nominii, rennsylvn
nla State College, Tells How to
(Set Best Product From Comm.
Tho Women's Club of tho McCor
mlck nnd Cnmcron Farms, of Cum
berland county, composed of forty
four earnest, Intelligent women,
mostly tho wives, mothers, daugh
ters and sisters of farmers, and de
voted to tho lmprovoment of tho con
ditions of farm life, social and ma
terial, and especially tho products
of tho dairy nnd tho kltchetr, hold
an nll-dny meeting several days ago.
Tho special feature of tho day was
n demonstration In butter making by
Professor 11. E. Van Normnn, Profes
sor of Dairy Husbandry at Pennsyl
vania State College.
For tho purposes of tho demon
stration two modern swinging churns
and ono barrel churn wero placed In
a row In tho mlddlo of tho room'
where all could seo them. Under
the direction of Professor Vnn Nor
mnn these were first rinsed out with
hot wnter. Then nfter they had suf
ficiently cooled, three lots of cream
furnished by Mrs. Chnrles Billet, of
Rose Garden farm, Mrs. Elmer E.
Lower, of Sporting Green farm, and
Mrs. John L. Bashore, of North
Side farm, wero poured In and the
churning began, the crank of the
harrel churn being turned by a man
and tlie swinging churns being oper
ated by women.
Address on Butter Making.
While the churning was going on,
Professor Van Norman, who has Just
returned from tho West where . ho
had charge of an important branch
of the National Dairy Show, made an
address upon milk, cream and but
ter making, which was listened to
with Intense interest by all those
present.
Milk, he said, speaking generally,
is composed of about eighty-seven
parts of water, five parts of sugar,
four parts of casoine and four parts
of fat. All the changes that take
place in milk after it is drawn from
the cow are caused by bacteria.
Some of these bacteria aro good and
some of them are had. The good
bacteria cause tho milk to turn sour,
developing lactic acid. If these bac
teria develop fast enough to choke
out the bad, the best butter will bo
made, other things being enual
One first essential to good butter
making Is clean milk. Tho milk will
not be clean if tho cow's flanks are
crusted with manure when the milk
Ing is done. Particles of filth are
bound then to fall Into the pail. No
housewife, the Professor said, would
think of making a pie crust under a
cow where the dirt from the stable
could fall on it, but the top of a
milk pall offers an equal or greater
surface to catch the dronnincs from
a dirty cow while her udder is agi
tated during milking.
He spoke at length on tho various
essentials to good butter making,
cream properly ripened, that is,
soured; 'the temperature at which
cream should be kept and churned:
how and at what stage to remove
tho buttermilk from tho butter: salt
ing and working the butter and vari
ous other details.
No Iron-Clad Rule,
He said that no fixed rule could
be formulated, much depending on
tiio intelligence and experience of
the individual. Professor Van Nor
man personally prefers tho harrel
churn as quicker, but he said equal
ly goou results might bo obtained
with a swinging churn. He would
put comparatively little cream In the
churn at one time, because with a
small quantity in the churn, there
would bo much greater agitation of
tne cream and butter made by acita
tion is not so greasy as that made
uy trictlon.
The proper temperature for churn
ing is about sixty-two decrees. The
churning should stop when granula
tion nas taKen mace. If the cream
is too cold when churned much of
the fat will be lost In tho butter
milk. If It Is too warm tho butter
will be too soft. The water used in
washing tho butter should be about
the samo temperature as tho butter.
The hands should never touch the
butter when it is being worked, be
cause butter melts at tho tempera
ture of the body, and handling melts
it and makes It greasy. Ho recom
mends a lever wooden butter work
er. To make acceptable market but
ter the cream should notbe allowed
to get too sour Just a nlco, clean,
pleasant smelling clabber is proper
now, for butter of milder flavor than
formerly demanded commands tho
best prices.
One ounce of salt to one pound of
butter is considered tho proper
amount.
Beforo Professor Van Norman had
finished his address tho churning was
done. Then under his supervision
tho buttermilk was drawn off, tho
butter washed and salted nnd work
ed whllo tho big nudienco looked on.
A patent wooden button worker was
used and In no long time three splen
did mounds of rich yellow butter
wero ready to bo shaped Into pound
moulds, stamped and sent to the
tabio or to market.
Cow-Testing Association.
Whllo tho ladles were still gather
ed around tho three hills of golden
butter, about twenty of tho men
present drew off Into analcovo at the
north end of the chapel, to discuss
tho advisability of forming a cow
testing association, to havo their
cows scientifically Inspected, and tho
cost of their keep carefully ascertain
ed, to seo whether tho farmer Is get
ting a profit from each of the cows
ho keeps,
Vanco C. McCormlck, flaying that
ho uolloved some farmers wero more'
ly hoarding a lot of cows from which
they got no profit at all, submitted
a little calculation of the profit from
three cows giving tho samo quantity
of milk but of vory dlfforent quality.
It cost $40 a piece a year to feed
theso cows. Each produced 6,500
quarts of milk. Ono cow's milk con
tained threo per cent., or 1C5 pounds the hair from falling out and promote
of butter fat worth, at twonty-llve an Increased growth of hair, and in
conts a pound, $41.25 or $1.25 raoro every way give entire satisfaction,
than the cost of her feed. No. 2 simply come back and tell us, nnd with,
produced tho samo quantity of milk) out question or formality wo will hand
with four por cent, or 220 pounds b k t ' ld
of butter fat worth, at twenty-five ?"c,. t0, y ?T Jf J? c V?
cents a pound, $55. No. 3 produced tor,lt Two sizes. 60c. and $1.00. Sold
tho samo quantity of milk with nvoonly at our store The Rexall Store,
per cent, or 275 pounds .of butter A. M. LEINE.
fat worth, at twenty-flvo cents a
pound, $G8.75.
In other words tho farmer could
mako as' much profit from ono cow
giving 5,500 pounds of butter fat as
ho could from twenty-three cows
giving each tho samo quantity ol
milk containing threo nor cent, of
butter fat, to say nothing of tho la
bor involved.
Professor Van Norman explained
the scope of a cow-testing associa
tion. Tho purpose Is to havo all the
cowb of eacli member of the associa
tion inspected by an expert once
every month In tho year; to havo her
product weighed nnd tested as to
richness nnd a record made of the
exact cost of her feed, so that the
fanner can toll beyond question
which of his cows ho is getting n
profit from, and from which, if any
no is getting no profit, at all.
I'lirinlni; on Business ilasls.
Tho subject was discussed nulte
extensively, nnd many questions were
naked and answered as to the details
of the plan, the cost and so forth
Professor Van Norman said that two
such associations aro now in success
ful operation In Pennsylvania, one
in Centre county and ono in Chester
county.
The formation of such organiza
tions he said Is a step toward placing
farming on a business basis. In oth
er lines of business tho man knows
Just what he is doing. Ho knows
what each branch of his business
costs and what it brings in. The
farmer does not, generally speaking.
Ho might very likely mako more
money from bIx cows than he le
mnfcing from ten, nnd Professor Van
Norman believes that tho small cost
of such an association would bo an
excellent Investment for every
farmer.
Tho Immediate result of the meet
ing was tho appointment of a provis
ional committee of five to consider
tho subject of tho permanent organ
ization of a cow-testing association
among the farmers of the Eastern
end of Cumberland county.

Fred Newell, the editor of the

gry in me iouowing essay on
"butchering time" in Mast week's is
sue of the Sentinel:
Tho estimable hog is about ripe
ior slaughter, sausage both "skin
and "ball" with hot cakes on the
side, are due, and will be duly wel
come.
Throughout tho Union in these
days the cauldron on frosty morn
ings may be seen a-boiling; the
farmer, his boys and the "help"
overaneu ior slaughter: tho house
wife and children quivering for the
sound of the squeal and subsequent
series ot mortuary grunts which
mean a Winter's supply of bacon, j
The first supper after the killing Is
always oi note; tne tenuerest of the
loin meat, the first of the sausage
these are tho finest annals of the
farm. Thenceforward (in a count,
less number of families), there de
velops a decreasing interest In the
hog. A persistent diet of bacon and
eggs throughout the year Is not like
ly to beget a high opinion of the
porker towards the end of Bpring.
Tho food mado of the Iiok and
the chicken is that of which the
peoplo do not seem to tire. On ship
board, in tho camp, In the choicest
cafes, bacon Is always in demand
for breakfast and chicken for din
ner. And the eating habits of these
two esculent animals are not dain
ty, but quito the reverse and still
their meat is delicious.
The odd thing about it all Is that
In this country the cleanest animal
In the world of beasts the horse
which will rofuso to drink from an
unclean bucket Is not regarded as
available for meat, whllo the grunt
ing hog is. Of course, there Is the
sympathetic and sentimental objec
tion to bo urged, but the samo might
be alleged against our eating cow.
Also dog which one if our consular
representatives In China assorts is
prodigiously delicious, when brought
up on milk alono and cooked in the,
puppy stage.
After all, however, thero is no go

tho flitch; tho sausage, tho scrap

Argument
Drastic Food Laws.
Drastic laws for the regulation of
tho Stato egg traffic are demanded
of tho Pennsylvania Legislature.
James Foust, Stato dairy and food
commissioner, prepared a bill demand
ing a long term of Imprisonment, to
gether with a heavy fine, as the pen
alty for either selling or buying de
cayed eggs for use as food. In con
nection with this, legislation will bo
asked to compel the labeling of all
cold storage poultry, gamo and eggs
as cold storage products.

Diners In the Now York restau

at all near tho amount due. the waiter
presumes that the change belongs to
him and acts accordingly. This pro
