A little party of four ladies from the Trulirural House came over in a boat immediately after dinner. Wanted to know of the manager whether really and truly, you know, we have ice cream every day. Said they never were so disappointed. the Trulirural only makes ice cream once a week, that is on Sunday, and alter all when it was made it proved to be only frozen buttermilk full of lumps of butter. These four are the elders remaining of the party that came over serenading about ten days ago. They have taken rooms and will move over before supper. I know how that ice cream trouble occurred; saw the same mishap at Bass-wood City. There was a young fellow of a too sanguine disposition struggling along with a restaurant that did not pay, buoyed up by the visions of wealth he was going to realize during the approaching summer by making ice cream. Being consulted, I advised the purchase of only one freezer, or, if he must have two, to get a 4-quart and a 6-quart size. Young man thought I was surely jesting and sent off for a 4-gallon and a 10-gal-lon. On the first balmy day that foretokened the arrival of gentle spring he invited all his acquaintances to a treat of the first luscious ice cream of the season; his own make; the first he had ever made,and after all it proved a delusion and for him a mortification that he never recovered from. It was buttermilk and butter frozen. Such a thing could not happen to a person who might not care whether the ice cream were not good or indifferent, but this party was too solicitous, whipped or churned the cream to make it foamy, and increase the bulk when the temperature was just right for "butter to come" quickly. If the young man had had freezers to buy that afternoon he would have been content with a 1-quart and a 2-quart, for he took a sudden disgust at the ice cream business. Pour your cream into the freezer, sweeten and flavor it and freeze without further preparation, but after it is frozen then the more it is beaten the better it will be and "butter won't come" at that temperature.
