The odor from cooking vege- u ‘ tables and meat will surely lDJlll‘G the butter. Many make butter in a cellar 0‘ because it is cool, but it is apt to im- T part a musty. moldy smell to the but- ter. A cellar may be good and cool. and yet be so ventilated as to have milk should not go much above 60 degrees Fahrenheit. At that tempera- ture it can usually stand about thirty- six hours. The time to skim is when the milk has soured just enough to be a little thick at the bottom of the pans and to thicken the cream. The cream cannot be skimmed off when it is thin and sweet without loss. No milk should be taken with the dream. Cream with milk in it sours much more rapidly than cream with no milk in it. This cream will be very rich and thick. and. al- though partially ripened when taken off, is ke t at a temperature of 60 de- 5 grees or slow, it will be all right if 3 held two or three days before churning. it Whenever a new skimming is put into the cream jar or can, the whole should be thoroughly stirred and mixed. In P the winter effective creaming may be had when the room in which the milk is set‘ is very cool, even down near the freezing point. This is accomplished by heating the milk to above 100 degrees Fahrenheit before settin . The cream will rise very rapidly w ile the tem- perature is falling. The warming can be repeated after twelve hours, if the milk is in small pans, by setting over a kettle of boiling water. If large pans are used. such as have been described. the heating is done by running hot wa- ter through the water channels be- neath the. milk. This practice of repeat- he ed heating and cooling makes very ef- fective creaming. leaving but. little but- ter-fat in the skim milk. and the cream is rich and thick. [low It Is Governed In Various European Countries. Time Empress of Russia. has present- ed the Czar with another daughter. The ‘ Czar is said to be elate as a. father, but to be disappointed as a sovereign. Tibia is but a. way of saying that his next brother. the Grand Duke George, is ‘still heir to the throne. The Grand head of his house. 'Htis health is very delicate, and he has to pass most of he: time on the Mediterranean. The two infant daughters have 'but extremely remote uhwnoes Off the succession. They are not wholly excluded, but all male heirs take precedence of them; that is to say, in the present instance the Czar's two brothers, amd any male ehildre'n or children's children they may have. to say nothing of the pussi- ble heirs male of the Czar. At present. | however, neither of these, Princes is married. 0n the extinction of the last ' mule line. the throne gasses into the . 1\A“’1An._' female lines, according to Uheir degrees I 01 proxrmity to the Emperor who reign- ed. This was the system of succession esteblished by the Emperor Paul, and it. is one of the three existing conttmn- purary European states. Under the 66.110 system which pre’vails in Belgium. Sweden, Norway. Italy. Denmark, and. iPrulssia, females are completely exclud- Ied. In England male heir-s in the same degree of relation to the sovereign ex- clude females without any regard to prlorlty of Ibirth. 'l'ihus, though the son of a. king may be younger than a daughter. the son exceeds as being in a closer degree of relationship. This is also in parantioe in spain and Portu- gal. and it is called v‘he cognate or (“as- tile system. Tlhe Russian system also prevails in Holland. Greece. Bavaria. \Virrlti-ln'herg. Peter“ tibia Greet dis- carded the system under which he as- cended the throne in order to disinherit his dis‘olmdient Son Alexis. He decreed that the sun-‘oession should be ditermin- ed by a testamentary disposition of the sovereign. Unfortunately. hoW'eVer he forgot to make a will. although the quidnuncs of Europe hasten-ed to repair the omission for him by publishing a ; spurious will of Peter the Great. which _ is supposed to govern Russian policy to ' this day. His nearest successors hovv~ ever, adhered to his plan. until it was 5 found. that in Mll-efl‘thllng an heir to the throne, they generally bequeathed 3 a civil war at Obie same time.
