This la a plan whereby milk may be
kept cool. Make two troughs A, 8 feet

make a shelf, D, on which place pails or

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.

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

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.—

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.

WATCH IN THE SPRING.
And the Sprint* I" the Watch, Unt

the Sltnatlon.
While picknieking with a crowd in
the country the other day, says the Jop
lin News-Herald, Arch Shade accidentally
dropped hU watch in a spring, and quite
naturally it has since refused to run. He
took the timepiece to a jeweler, and the
following conversation ensued:
"Here s my watch; can you fix it?"
"What's the matter? Did you break the
tpring?"
"No; the spring broke the watch."
The man wondered, but proceeded to ex
amine the injured article.
"The spring is broken," he finally an
nounced.
"No wonder," said Arch; "I dropped the
watch in it."
"It began to dawn upon the jeweler that
the young man was certainly insane, and
just as he was glancing around for some
avenue of escape Arch explained the situa
tion."

of the little boy, says:—
"The doctor said my boy had disease
of the spinal chord, and treated him for
two months, during which he got worse
all the time. Finally, the doctor told ine
he did not know what was the trouble.
The boy would wake up during the night
and say that he wa<? dying. He would be
nervous and trembling and would want
to run from the house, saying he saw ugly
things which frightened him. After we
had tried everything else. I read an ad-'
vertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills as *>
cure for Nervous Troubles. I purchased
some and used them until he had taken al
together eight boxes, when lie was sound
and well, with not a single symptom of
the old trouble. This was some months

GREAT TUNNEL IN THE ALPS?"
Tronble«onic Problem of Cooling tho
Air In the Slniploii Tube Hun ut
l<u*t Hern Solved.
Recent dispatches have suggested
the probability that work upon the
Simplon tunnel in the .Alps would be
abandoned because the hot springs
encountered made the heat so great
that it couhl not be borne. The ililli
culties, however, have been solved.
For a distance of Cy 4 miles tlie
mountain has been penetrated on the
north and for 4y 2 miles on the south
side, leaving l'/ z miles to complete it.
A juncture will be effected next year
with a maximum of error in direc
tion of seven or eight inches.
Owing to the great height of the
mountains above the tunnel, the pres
sure is great, and the temperature of
the rocks and springs is correspond
ingly high. The greatest heat en
countered was 133 F. It is now 126.
This temperature, with water falling
upon the workmen, would injure
them, but this heat has been reduced
by diluting the air with cold from
hydraulic mains. To cool the air a
large volume of fresh air. the tem
perature of which has been reduced
by means of a high pressure water
spray, is sent up to the working face
of the tunnel, where it is perfectly
cool and fresh in contrast with the
foulness and oppressiveness usual in
other tunnels.
There is no sickness among the
workmen. A Brandt, drill immediate
