unload freight from trucks and wheel
it directly aboard the ship, where a

as the big dock erases had stopped at
sundown. The deck was brightly
lighted with electric globes, and hum-
med with activity. Evidently she
would finish loading and sail in a few
hours. Crane sprang to his feet and
hurried uptown.
One after another, he visited several
ship•Chandleries, second-hand stores,
and pawnshops, and made a strange
assortment of purchases, Then he
hurried to his room; and when he left
it, a few minutes later, the dunnage-
bag he earr:ed was, both bulky and
heavy.
He slipped quietly down to the
docks, avoiding the brihtly lighted
places, and sought out a landing -
stage in a dark corner, where he had
marked, during the afternoon, sv-
era11 small skiffs tied up, Placing the
bag in one of these,, he cast oft its

Att from which two pipes ran up through
the ceiling. Doubtless a smudge was'
kept up in this whenever it was desir-'
ed to complete the illusion of the fun-
nels. Such deliberate plants to create
a false impression could be for nc
honest purpose. This thought ran
through Crane's mind as he looked,
and -hardened his determination to see
this matter through.
CHAPTER II.
{
He closed the shutter, and patiently
worked the bolt back into place, fill-
ing the tiny crack made by his tool
with rotten wood from a pile; then he
found his way back beneath the gang-
plank, He had decided that this ves-
sel must be a scout for some hostile
war -ship; hence her elaborate pre-
caut'ons to sail under false colors in
waters where the natives of the Allies
were in control. However, there was
no war -vessel of any Power in this
port just now, and she would doubt-
less slip away to sea before he could
arrange an effective plan to stop her.
Only one plan seemed to offer and
chance. The risk was great, but he
determined to take it. But how •?
Every inch of the ship was brigthly
lighted; men came and went every-
where. He knew that, in spite of the
casual appearance of things, a sharp
lookout was being kept.
Begin by having the milking done
in a cleanly way and in a clean
stable. Keep the separator in con-
dition by washing and scalding thor-
oughly after each using. Cool the
cream immediately to 50 degrees or
lower, in a tub of ice and water and
keep cool and sweet until the churn-
ing is gathered. Keep the eream
covered securly, but not air -tight. Let
the temperature rise to 60 degrees or
therabouts, and add a good starter.
There is nothing better for this pur-
pose than well flavoured butter milk.
Stir frequently until the cream is
thick, sour and has a glossy appear-
ance, when it is ready for the churn.
Scald the churn and rinse with cold
water before putting in the cream.
The temperature should not be above
58 degrees in summer and 02 in winter
and the butter should "come" in from
20 minutes to half an hour. Stop
churning when, the butter is in gran-
ules about the size of small wheat,
draw off the :.cutter -mill:, and rinse
with cold water until no trace of milk
remains. Care in this matter has
much to do with the keeping qualities
of the butter.
Remove the butter, (which should
still be in grains) to a vessel in which
it .can be weighed, I use a shallow
candy pail, weigh, turn out on the but-
ter worker, and apply salt, from .one
pound to one and one-half ounces to a
pound of butter. You will have to re-
gulate the amount to suit the taste
of your customers. Much of mine is
sold unsalted. Work very gently, be-
ing careful not to spoil the texture of
the butter by unnecessary pressure.
Let stand half an houir, work again,
and print or pack. In printing, make
the prints full weight, perfectly shap-
ed and wrap neatly with a good qual-
ity of parchment, hearing your name
and address, or farm name. . Keep in
a cool place until wanted for market-
ing, then place in. a clean box or bass
ket, having a clean white cloth around
and over the butter, and paper over
that and under the box lid. Never let
cream or butter stand when there is
an odor of any kind.
When you go to market he sure
your butter is good and say so. Have
it looking neat and clean, yourself (or
salesman) ditto, and you'll have no
tt ouble in making good sales.
No, •I didn't ' forget the' coloring.
The above describes my way of mak-
ing butter and.i never use butter col-
oring.—Mrs. Alex. Agilary in Farm
and Dairy.
Cutting Potato Seed.
In a bulletin issued by the South
Dakota Agricultural College, it was
shown the the yield of potatoes from
pieces of large seed potatoes was 28
per cent. higher than from pieces of
small seed potatoes. A recent
bulletin; is now to hand from South
Dakota, giving a series of experi-
ments designed to determine the re-
lative influence of the mere size of
tuber and the strain of tuber in the
increased yield obtained by planting
pieces of larger tubers. Five series,. THE KAISER'S LOST EMPIRE,

and a considerable amount of heat 1 i r --
energy
energy is required to do it. This can
be supplied either by feeding the cow
plentifully and letting her warm the
water, or by heating it with fire. •
The question of warming water,
then, resolves itself into which
method is cheaper. Corn is a gra
heat -supplying food. It is not profit-
able, however, to burn it in a stove
to heat a house, because coal accom-
plishes the same result at a small
fraction of the cost. Then why use
corn to warm water for the cow ?
The amount of water that a cow
drinks will be found to have a direct
relation to the amount of milk she
produces; in general, the more water,
the more milk. It is essential, then,
to provide all the water that a
will drink at any season of the year.
In the winter, especially in the north-
ern states, water must be warmed in
order 'to produce the best results.
Probably the easiest and cheapest way
to accomplish this is by using a tank
heater.—Circular No. 21, United
States Department of Agriculture.
