.PRESS PARTY RETURN AFTER
EIGHT WEEKS' TOUR
After an absence of eight weeks
the members of the Caeadian Week -
Pres Party, who have bav
een te-
r
lling in. France, Belgium and Great
13ritain are happy to be home again.
Mr. and Mrs. R. N. Creech, Mrs, J.
A. Stewart and J. M. Southcott ar-
rived Sunday hiving landed at Que-
bec on Saturday and being met at
'London by auto, Mrs. Heaman re-
turned Wednesday. Mrs. Skelton
is spending several weeks in Eng-
land on business.
• e The trip on the continent and
throteVat Great Britain was atren-
uoue at times but the voyage home
'was delightful . and enabled the par-
ty to get rested up.
Received by Royalty
Before leaving home the party
had anticipated a splendid trip but
we can say now that it has exceeded
'*ibur expectations. From the Mo-
ment we landed on Belgium soil un-
til we took our departure from Bel -
last we received the. most cordial
hospitality, and reception after re-
ception were given in our honor. At
Brussels the party was graciously
received by His Majesty King Albert
of Belgium in his royal palace. At
Malines Cardinal Mercier received
the party at his palatial dwelling. At
Paris the President of France shook
hands with the members of the par-
ty and,Mar,shall Foch presided at a
function in our honor, In England
a reception was given at Bucking-
ham Palace when Their Majesties
King George V and Queen Mary
moved among the party shaking
hands and chatting with several of
the members. There were many
her important functions (thirty-
five in all having been accorded the*
party during their short stay) but
• the above are perhaps the most out-
standing.
A short description of the voyage
as far as Antwerp has already been
given and in several articles that
.are to follow a detailed account of
the trip will be given. This week
we will outline the general itiner-
ary.
The Itinerary
Starting at Antwerp, in Belgium,
the party proceeded to Malines, the
home of Cardinal Mercier, and then
left, for Brussls. From there we
went to Liege, where Col. Naessens
showed us the ruins of Fort Loncin
Col. Naessens commanded this fort
which held the Germans back for
17dayswhen they first started to
mega Belgium berritory in August
1914. The French and Engish
were thus enabed to mobolize their
armies. He and a number of his
men were taken from the fort un-
conscious and were held as prison-
ers for the remainder of the war.
The next spot of interest to be
•visited by some members of the
party was the scene of the battle of
Waterloo. For the next two days
the party toured the battlefields
.around Lille, Ypres, Vimy, Etc., vis-
iting a number of the cemeteries,
which, eve were delighted to note,
are being well eared for.
Gay Paris, with its many points
,of interest, occupied the party for
three days and four nights, one of
the outstanding points of interest
being Versailles, where the peace
>treaty was signed. . On June 29th
we left Paris foieLondon,. the enetro-
polis of the Empire, where for ten
days it was a continuotis round of
..sight-seeing and entertainment.
Through Great Britain
On July 9, the party bid farewell
to London, leaving for Leamington,
'Warwick and Stratford -on -Avon, the
'home of Shakespeare. This is sit-
uated about the centre of England.
From there we travelled to Tor-
quay, a beautiful resort in beautiful
Devon, on the southern coast. A
'short stay in Exeter 'was of great
'interest to all members of the party
but more particularly to us who live
'in the town which bears the 'same
name., While here Messrs. Creech
rand Southcott conveyed the greet-
ings of Exeter, Canada, to Exeter,
England.
Sunday, July 13, was spent in the
eity, of Bath, famous for ets mineral.
springs. Monday and Tuesday were
Spent in Wales, at Cardiff and
Swansea, the metallurgie centre of
the Empire, where nickle, silver,
gold and- tin are refined. The next
stop was at Liverpool and from there
we went to Manchester and Stock -
pert, industrial centres, where Sev
eral manufacturing plants were vis-
ited.
Sunday, July 20 was spent in the
inland summer resort of Harrogate.
Leaving Harrogate for York, visit-
ing the famous York Minster Ca-
thedral, the ,party then left England
for Scotland.
Scotland and Ireland
At Edinburgh and Glasgow the
party were the recipients of real
Siottish hospitality and in the few
days here, visited many points of
surpassing interest, including the
home of Burns and the beautiful
Trossachs.
Boarding the C. P. S. S. "Mont-
laurier" on July 25 a short run was
made to Belfast where the press
party were privileged to go ashore
for the day and where a royal wel-
come awaited them. The Duke and
Duchess of York were being enter-
tained in the city the same day but
this did not detract from the cordial
reception given the Canadian party.
For the first and only time accorded
to our party, and we were informe
ed to any other party, the mayor,
the mayoress and their two daugh-
ters came down to the dock and
shook hands with each member of
the party wishing them bon voy-
age.

Re -embarking Saturday evening
the party commenced the return ! WINNERS ANNOUNCED
trip across the briny deep and to
some who had experienced some un-
pleasantness going over, it was with
fear and trembling. The voyage,
however, was a particularly fine one
and the party being somewhat ac-
cumtomed to travel were less affect-
ed than on the trip over. The course
orttieriy
one and the atmosphere at times
was a trifle chilly. With the ex-
ception of a little fog on reaching
the south coast of.Labrador, the trip
was uneventful. Some were a lit-
tle disappointed at not even seeing
an iceberg, although a few on board
saw the spouts of a whale, and ot-
hers a school of porpoises.
At Quebec while strolling along
the promenade we ran across Mr.
and Mrs. E. Harwood and some
friends from Toronto, who were on
a motor trip. We were pleased to
know that Mr. Harwood's mother,
Mrs. Jas. Pickard, is keeping fine.
After its all over we are glad to
be back again and all things heing
considered there is no place where
we would rather hang up our hat

PACKING FARM BUTTER
The Best Way to Store Butter
For Home Use

(Contributed by Ontario Department of
A.gricuiture, Toronto.)
We have all heard the expression
"The best Is none too good.'This
applies especially to butter for stor-
ing. So says Miss Belle Millar of the
Ontario Agricultural College. It Is
necessary to put away the very best,
as no butter iniPrOVeS in storage.
Keep the Cream. Cans Clean.
The can in which the cream is col-
lected should be clean and free from
rust.
The cream should be good flavored
and should be churned sweet, or with
very little souring. A cream with
high acidity will not make a long -
keeping butter,
As pasteurized, cream butter will
keep very much better than raw
cream butter, it would pay to go to
the extra trouble of pasteurizing the
cream when the butter is going to
be held for some time.
How to Pasteurize.
To pasteurize, place the can of
cream in a larger vessel containing
hot water. Stir the cream gently
until the temperature comes up to
170° F. Hold it at that temperature
for at least ten minutes, then cool it
quickly to a low temperature. Hold
It cold for a few hours before churn-
ing it.
Churn at a temperature low
enough to bring the butter in nice
firm granules. Avoid overchurning.
Wash the butter twice and salt in the
usual way. Work the butter a little
to mix in the salt, then let it stand
in a suitable place for a few hours
before finishing the working.
Have the butter of such firmness
that it will stand sufficient working
so that the salt will be evenly distri-
butedly, and that it will be close in
body and not show water pockets.
The Best Storing Packages.
As butter keeps best in large pack-
ages, crocks, tubs and boxes are used.
The crocks should be in good condi-
tion, free from breaks in the glazing,
and should be- well scalded before
using, Tubs and boxes should bo
coated with paraffine wax and lined
with heavy parchment paper.
Put the butter in in small pieces,
pack Etolidly, using a butter packer
or a wooden potato masher. Pack
each piece by working from the cen-
tre outward. Pound well around the
edges and in the corners so as to
avoid having holes.
When the box is filled, level off the
top and fold the ends of the paper
over. If a tub or crock is used Place
a circle of parchment paper on top.
Make a paste by moistening some
salt with a little cold water, and
srpead an even layer over the top of
the package, then fasten down the
lid.
Further Packing and Storing Hints.
If using crocks it will be necessary
to cover the lid with two or three
ply of clean wrapping paper and tie
it securely.
Butter to keep must be protected
from air, light and heat, so after the
packages have been made secure they
must be placed in a clean, cool, dark
place. The temperature should be low
and even. Butter made in September
¬ subjected to heat like the June
biitter. Those who make butter in
June for holding and have not a good
place for keeping it would find it to
their ,,advantage to place it in a cold
storage if there is one in the vicinity.
The saving in quality would more
than pay the storage fees.—Depart-
ment of Extension, O. A. College,
Guelph.
tlse Care La Curing Alfalfa.
Alfalfa leaves, require careful
handling if they are to be retained
with the stalks in the harvesting of
the hay.
Alfalfa, to be harvested properly,
wants to be put up while it is still
a trifle green, as it will retain the
leaves in this state, pack closer in the
mow and be a better and brighter
dolor when fed.
It is -a common practice to cut the
.hay in the morning as soon as the
dew is off, and then rake into bunches
late in the afternoon after it has
thoroughly wilted. Often alfalfa that
is cut in the morning driet too fast
and becomes brittle when cut this
way, so that many growers favor the
cutting of the hay late one afternoon
and putting it up the next afternoon.
This allows some of the moisture to
go out gratifally and gives better
quality hay.
Although many times the first cut-
ting is often discolored by moisture
it is still valuable as feed, as experi-
ments show that stock eat it as read-
ily as the better grades.
In placing slightly green hay in
mow see that it is spread carefully
and that no large air spaces are left,
Do not open a mow when the hay is
undergoing a heating process, and
there will be little danger of spontan-
eous combustion or fire.
kfating Time.
While breeding pens need net be
mated until about three weeks before
hatching is to begin, yet I mate my
breeding pens in January. -The hens
in my breeding pens have been kept
separate from the males since last
fall, so I could mate them only ten
days before beginning hatching, if
necessary, but it is just as conven-
ient for me to mate them early
Where more than ten hens are put in
one pen, two male birds will be used
on alternate days. There is an ad-
vantage in using two male birds in a"
pen, •ag quite often a lien refuses i.o
mate with one male, ,while this very
rarely happens in a pen 'Where two
males are used.
