Attach troughs, A; 1 foot below troughs make a shelf, D, on which place pails or tars holding milk. Let cloths that read ily absorb water be wrapped about the vessel containing the milk. The end of the cloths carried up and placed in the troughs. If the troughs are kept full of water the evaporation of water from the cloths will keep the itoilk cool. This should be protected from sun.—Will Johnson, In Epitomist. PURIFYING THE CREAM. To Remove the Odor of Wild Onions and Hitter Weed In a Kurd Job. During the last three years consid erable effort has been made to find a means by which the odor and taste of wild onion and bitter weed may be removed from milk and cream, says the Alabama experiment station. In the spring of 1901 the writer was re quested to try a patent compound claimed to remove all kind* of weedy taste from milk, but it prored to be an absolute failure. Cook lne soda (saleratus) was also given a like trial, but failed of the purpose claimed for it by some people. Having failed so far to find anything that when fed to the cows would remove weedy taste In the milk, the next step was treat ing the milk and cream. Bitter weed taste was removed entirely from cream by thoroughly mixing it with two or more parts of water at any tempera ture above 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and then running the whole through the separator. Saltpeter dissolved in wa ter was tried as an aid in removing the bitterness, but as good results were secured without it as with it. Rapidly and slowly heating milk and cream to various high temperatures did not re move bitterness, but often imparted a cooked taste. Butter made from washed cream (as above) was pro nounced free of all bitterness by the station customers. No means were found to remove the bitter weed taste from whole milk. In the spring of 1902 milk and cream were treated for the wild onion flavor the same as In the previous year for the bitter weed taste. WHY SPRAYING PAYS. rie of Inwectlclde* ni>d Fnncrlelder Blade Abnolntely Xerrshiirf I>y Modern Conditions. The canker worm, the tent caterpillar, leaf rollers and other native leaf eating insects find instead of an occasional wild cherry tree, wild crabapple or wild plum, whole acres of improved varieties of these, acres upon acres iof raspberry, blackberry, strawberry an.l grape. Grass feeding insects find hundreds and thou sands of acres of grassy plants more tender and juicy than the natural grasses. Is it any wondw that native in sects, before confined to a less number of less fruitful trees, with an occasional year that permitted almost no fruit at all to grow, thus almost exterminating them, should under such favorable con ditions as are offered by our present system of fruit, vegetable and grain cul ture, thrive and increase in numbers, far beyond what they would under less artificial and less favorable surround ings? We first create an environment unnatural and vastly more favorable than the original for the development of insect enemies of our crops, and bring about the very conditions that in a state of nature these insects prevent, and then wonder why it is that they do the most natural things in the world for them to do—fed and breed. Thus the spraying of plants with insecticides and fungi cides becomes imperative, to counteract so far as possible the adverse effects of the present conditions.--Agricultural Epitomist. Bril Temperature tor Apples. Experiments have provfcd that a lower temperature than at first used by com mercial houses is the more desirable for apples. The temperature most satisfac tory is 33 degrees and in our experiment was the temperature we tried to keep. Lowering the temperature does not stop all changes going or. in the apple, but simply delays them. Fruit cannot be kept indefinitely at 32 degrees freez ing, without any changes. There aro chemical changes going on which result in what we call overripeness, mealiness, and loss of flavor. This change is inde pendent of decay and is hindered by low temperature and hastened by high.— lowa Experiment Station. Feed changed suddenly is liable to cause a falling off in milk. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1903. DIFFERENCE IN MILK. I Method of Sflllnff by Menmnre Alone, of Value, 1m Kuili cully U rou|[, According to a bulletin of the United States department of agriculture, near- I ly all milk used for direct consumption is sold by measure alone, regardless of value. This method is unjust to both consumer and producer. The majority of people seem to think that milk Is milk, and that one quart is worth as much as another, so long as it is sweet milk. The reason for this is partly a i lack of knowledge .;s to what consti tutes good milk and partly because milk is an opaque liquid, and it is dif ficult to Judge its composition or food value by appearance. Milk containing a high per cent, of fat is not only worth mere for food, but it costs more to produce than milk containing a low per cent, of fat, and its price should be governed by food values. Frequent ly one quart of milk contains twice as much fat as another, yet both sell for the same price. No other commodity is bought or sold v/ith such disregard of food value. All milk should be sold according to its composition, and not only should Its exact composition be known, but definite grades should bo established j with corresponding value. Milk for | direct consumption should not only | have a standard of values,but of clean | liness as well, and should be produced | under inspection. It would be as reasonable to expect !to purchase three pounds of round steak for the price of one as to buy milk with eight per cent, fat and that with two per cent, fat at the same price a quart. Most of the states and some of the cities have passed laws j which make it unlawful to sell milk j below a certain standard. This makes ! the sale of milk coming direct from j Individual cows, that give milk low in ! fat, unlawful, while it is good, whole j some milk and a perfectly legitimate j product when sold at its proper price. But what is even worse, this system | prevents the man who produces rich ; milk from getting the price he should according to its food value and cost of | production. Milk containing a high ! per cent, of fat Is not only worth more j for food, but costs more to produce | than milk containing a low per cent | of fat, and the price should be gov j erned by its composition and food ! value, and not. by its bulk. One hundred pounds of good milk contains 87 pounds of water, foitr i pounds of fat. five pouds of milk sugar, 3.3 pounds of casein and albumen and 0.7 pound of mineral matter or salts. 1 Most of the states and many cities re i quire 3 or 3.5 per cent, of fat and 9 or 9.5 per cent, of "solids not fat." The "total solids" required thus vary 1 from 12 to 13 per cent., according U> j different laws. THISTLES MAKE GOOD FEED. Ob Dlnpovcry of Till* Fnct Obtioxloua "Weed CenMed to Grovr In KnilMAft. F. D. Coburn, secretary of the Kan | sas state board of agriculture, issued a j bulletin two years ago in which he de- J clared that the Russian thistle, when j properly cured, made excellent feed for | stock. Since then the thistle has i ceased to grow wild in the northwest ern part of the state, where It was ! most plentiful at that time. In many counties where it was common a few years ago It has become extinct. The Russian thistle a few years ago was the most dreaded weed pest known to farmers. It was said that if it once started It would drive out all other vegetables. Notwithstanding all pre cautions, the seed was brought into northwestern Kansas with other seed and the plant gained a firm foothold in several counties. The papers print | ed columns about the necessity of up | rooting it and the legislature passed a | law on the subject, but the thistle con tinued to thrive. Then cattlemen in the northwest dis covered that, cattle eat it and they tried putting up some as hay. The experi ment, was a success, as the cattle would eat it in preference to most other kinds of hay, and it produced good results Now it seems that the weed is dying out, since it has been discovered to have merits. A report from Wyoming says that an attempt to cultivate the plant there as a forage crop was a failure owing to the wet season. It is said that in ordi | nary years this weed can be raised in large quantities on the Laramie plains, as it flourishes on extremely dry ground. Cattle devour it eagerly. CRATE FOR WAGON EOX.

It can also be hinged to open at the side. The slats should be of hard wood, three-quarters of an inth thick.' —Farm Journal. WATCH IN THE SPRING.
