You and | don’t khow what matter —what plain, every day-dirt is. They used to think that it was 'a something composed of atoms. And that atoms were “ultimats, indivisible particles.” Now, they think that atoms may be sub-divided into “ions” or “electron: they will divide something still smaller. And so on and on, and infinitom. Tt will stiil re- ain true, when one centiry’s last “indivisible” point has become the next century’s further “divisible” mass, that not even then will we matter really fs.

If you do, vyou're up against two conundrum every time. To begin with the eas: |fest: Why does butter “come” after churning” I have asked that question | of eleven different buttermakers with- | out getting the right answer from {one. ~ Yet that answer is capable of peing found out. In the cow's milk, mixed up with water and various oth- er things, are tiny specks of fat, each one inclosed in an exceedingly thin ac which keeps it isolated till the sac is’ broken. Being lighter than n For Infants and Children In Use For Ov | Mny. bears "307081'3 'lw‘ t | s know what ; into my - garden and | and | fe. Let the | the re ol’ the mll.h the surf o cream | and. ski t.hem off lnlo the chura, and nsihte them with some form of dasher. After a certain period of this the butter “ecomes” as we say. Of course, it hasn't really come from any- the time. What our churning has done has been rise to the|: to break the skins of the tiny sacs. in| Which the butter globules were in- cased, thus permitting-‘the _sticky atomies to come together, first two and two, and then by the hundreds, and then by the millions, ill they make a mass of butter, which they could do while the sacs kept each globule from touching another. Now, all this can be found out. Be- ing found out, the judicious churner will at once see that it makes a differ- ence what shape of churu and what method of agitation he adopts. It makes a difference with the - texture and flavor of the butter, too. And that is apt to make a’difference in the price it will sell for. ‘Practically. therefore, it is the progressive dairy- man’s business to find out these things and base his conduct upon them. He fails of his best, it hie oes mot. He secures a real advantage by his care- ful study of such details of the butter- making process as are within his scope . And, in one sense, he can jus- tifiably be said to know_these things. At least, he knows the Why of them. seem any way In which he can find ', But he doesn't kow, nor foes there | § out why the cow puts those tiny but- vation that it is pardonable, whether | ter globules wrapped in their diaph- onous sacs into her milk. doesn't know either. are. My point is simply this: That there 18 no excuse for our not learning all The cow And there you can attaifN\gerfect knowledge only iniwe can about the Why and Wherefore of churning butter, just because we can’t know the Why and Wherefore of the butter’s being there, to begin wit] . Because we can't fly is no reason why we shouldn't walk to our work. Inithe absence of wings, legs are more or less useful. It would be silly bus- iness. to sit in an easy chair all our lives, refusing to use such means of self<locomotion as we have, because we can't have some means we'd like better. While it is.true “know” anything surance, it I8 just a find out lots of”things with so great a_degrec of probabi to make that probability a basis for practical working. The more such we find out, the better farming we're likely to do. Let's keep our feet on the ground, even if our wobbly heads do, some- times, get up among the clouds.
