Teinporatnre in Testing "Milk.
A difference in temperature when
testing cream of, say from 15 to 25
percent butter fat will make a differ
ence of one-fourth of 1 percent .n
reading; in cream of from 25 to 35 per
cent fat it will make a difference of
one-half of 1 percent. In cream of
from 35 to 45 percent the dirierence
will be close to 1 percent. In some
experiments recently I found that with
cream running from 45 to 55 percent
fat the difference ran from 1 1-2 per
cent up to 2 percent.
This is certainly a subject that
needs investigation. It is a matter of
dollars and cents to both shipper and
receiver of cream. It also means that
all testers ought to be filled with a
thermometer so that the temperature,
when testing, can be watched. Also,
some sort of damper arrangement and
steam inlet are needed, so that the
temperature can be regulated wu.ie
the test is being run. 'mis matter of
the regulation of temperature is one
to which sufficient attention is not
usually paid, 'la prevent errors and
to get tests out accurately it must be
carefully attended to. —A. C. Beebe,

SprnvinK the Ponltry Houses.
Spraying u.e poultry .houses with a
solution of sulphuric acid, one pound
to 20 gallons of water, is an efficient
remedy for lice, mites and all disease
germs, if it is put on so as to cover
walls, ceilings. floor 3, roosts and nests,
and forced into cracks and crevices.
It is better than some other sprays, as
it is not necessary to keep the fowl
out more than an hour or so, and it
will destroy the eggs as well as tho
developed insects if it touches them.
Do this before the weauier reaches
down to zero, as the hens should not
be let out of doors wuen it is as cool
as that. The miuule of a bright, pleas
ant day is the best time for suehjvork,
as then the hens can be kept out. The
night before it is done, or before kero
sene is used to kill lice, we like to
go over every bird, and holding them
by the legs, put insect powder all
through their feathers, taking par
ticular pains to get it around the head
and vent, and under the wings, as that
Is where they most frequently are
found. This drives them off to the
roosts, where the spraying or painting
with kerosene will kill them the next

<*razins: on VTlipat Fields.
A cattle grower o. Ellis county, Kan.,
says: ''There are thousands of cattle
now grazing on the wheat fields in that
county and are in first class condi- i
don. However, I think the plan of leas- J
(tig the wheat fields to tho stockmen
will hardly be so remunerative to them
as it will be to the farmers. The latter
are now getting 75 cents to $1 a month
for a single steer. The cattle make
excellent gains and wax fat upon the
wheat, but the flesh is not hard as in
the case when they feed on straight
grass.
This causes them to shrink greatly
when taken off the wheat suddenly
and put on the markets. I have known
1000-pound steers shrinking as much
as 100 pounds in the time between
their leaving the wheat fields and go
ing on the scales at the markets. If
the animals would eat a little hay im
mediately after leaving the wheat, this
shrinkage would be eliminated to a
great extent, but they will not go back
to dry feeds after having reveled in
wheat for a few months. About all of
the wheat cattle in our county are now
ready for market, and between the
middle of the month and the holiday
season shipments from our section will
be heavy."—lndiana Farmer.
Treatment ol' Foot and Mouth Diseases.
Considerable interest attaches to a
circular said to have been issued by
the Italian war office to the veterinary
surgeons of the Italian army' The
circular recommends to their attention
a new treatment for the so-called foot
and mouth disease of cattle. The treat
ment was announced some little time
ago by Professor Bacelli, and consists
',n the intravenous injection of a solu
tion of perchloride of mercury cjud
sodium chloride. The intravenous in
jection of powerful antiseptics for spe
cific diseases is, of course, not new.
Puite recently intravenous injections
of formic aldehyde were used, appar
ently with success, in the treatment of
numan pulmonary tuberculosis. We
have not up to the present had access
to the actual communication either of
Professor Bacelli or of Dr. Guzzi, who
appears to have been the f.rst to actu
ally use the remedy in question; but it
appears that the injected fluid c-onsist
, sd of 1 gramme of percnloride of mer
\ cury, 75 grammes of sodium chloride
and one litre of water, and U.at of this
solution first 30, then 50, then 70, and
subsequently 100 cubic centimetres
were injected.
As «.ne body weight of the animals in
question is unknown, an accurate esti
mation of the dose given is impossible
The ultimate remidal agent is the al
buminate of mercury. The addition to
the injecting fluid of the sodium chlo
ride renders this substance more solu
ble, and also tends to prevent the pre
cipitation of proteids by the perchlo
ride, and hence the formation of em
boli. The animals treated all appear
to have been cured of the disease.
From the general standpoint, these re
sults, if accurate, are of interest *n
that they afford another instance of
the possibility, by the intravenous in
jection of of an antiseptic, of destroy
ing, or at any rate influencing, the ma
teries morbi without iniurine the host

Keeping the Winter Vegetables.
Whether for later markets or homf
use, it pays to store the winter vege
tables with due regard to their keep
ing so well that as little loss as possi
ble will be experienced in rotting 01
shrinking. The hardest thing on win
ter vegetables or fruits is the frequent
change in the temperature. The first
condition aimed at is, therefore, a uni
form temperature. It matters not ii
this temperature is very low, almost
to the freezing point, so long as it is
maintained. Alternate freezing and
thawing will spoil the best of vege
tables. Usually winter vegetables are
stored in cellars, pits, barns or sheds,
and they keep somewhat indifferently
in any one, unless special attention is
given to them. Most cellars are too
damp and warm to suit vegetables. A
lower and dryer temperature is need
ed, and this can be obtained by giving
better ventilation. Cellars that have
no ventilation cannot have pure air.
The air becomes heavy with the moist
ure that evaporates from the vege
tables, and this in turn affects the
stored goods. An outside ventilation
is absolutely necessary for a good vege
table cellar. When the weather is wet
this should be closed, or when the tem
perature is very low. In this way the
moisture and cold can be regulated
to suit the needs of the goods.
Most roct crops, except onions and
potatoes, should not only be kept in
such a dry cellar, but they will do bet
ter if packed in bins or barrels and
covered with dry sand Turnips, car
rots. beets, parsnips and similar vege
tables will in this way retain their
plumpness and juiciness. Indeed, they
can be kept so that they will prac
tically be as good as when first dug
from the earth. Mow all these vege
tables in the middle of winter are in
demand, and command good prices,
but most of them are so shrunk and
shriveled that they do not pass muster.
It is by storing them properly that we
are able to meet the requirements of
the market at our own profit. Cab
bages in particular need to be packed
away in dry sand or earth immediately
after digging, so they will lose none of
their good qualities. They should be
kept where the temperature cannot
vary a degree until taken up for the
market In some respects onions are
the most generally small and shrunken
of all winter vegetables. This is due
to the fact that they are kept in too
warm places, where they dry out and
even begin to sprout. They should be
stored away where they will stay al
most to the freezing point until ready
to sell. Then they will command win
ter prices for fancy onions, which are
the best and highest hat can be ob
tained at any time of the year.—Wil

Glowing Melons Commercially.
For early melons I plant seeds lii
inverted sods, placed on horse manuro
in a sort of hot-bed or cold frame.
This cold frame has a tight cover,
which I put on during cool days and at
night. When the v/eather is warm
enough I transplant by placing the
sods very carefully on a stone boat
and take them to the field. They
are placed in hills, which are prepared
as follows: I plow my cherry orchard
very early in spring, turning the fur
rows away from the trees, thus form
ing a back furrow midway between
the rows. When it is about time to
transplant my melons, say the middle
of May in this latitude, I again plow,
turning the furrows the other way.
leaving an open or dead furrow where
the back furrow was located. I fill
this with manure, then cover by plow
ing two furrows in either side. The
ridge thus formed is rolled down very
firmly and gone over with a drag con
taining a large number of fine teeth.
My rows of cherry trees are 20 feet
apart. I put only one row of melon
vines between two rows of trees. As
I have so much space on either side of
the row, I can plant melons close
together, say six feet.
The sods containing the young plant
are placed carefully in holes on this
ridge, and the ground is firmed about
them. They scarcely seem to mind the
change, but keep right on growing.
I hoe and cultivate often while the
vines are small, and continue to plow
and drag down the ground between
the rows of trees after the melon
vines begin to start their runners.
When they become well grown all that
tan be done for them is to pull the
weeds which may spring up and keep
the ground around the trees well cul
tivated. Melons delight in hot weath
er and seem to rather enjoy a drouth,
provided weeds are kept down and the
ground not covered with vines kept
well stirred.
Melons are very easily prepared for
market. In fact they require no prep
aration. A little experience is neces
sary to know just when melons are
ripe, without opening them. To do
this it is necessary to have a fine
sense of sight, hearing and feeling. I
have found nearby towns the best
markets. Shipping to larger centres
bas not proved very satisfactory. The
past season I began selling melons
August !> and continued until Novem
ber 29. Of course, this was an ex
traordinary season, as the frost held
off giving plenty of time for ripen
ing of a second setting, which started
after the rains in July. This second
lot grew large and ripened well after
the first crop was marketed. In our
northern latitudes quality is valued
more than size. It is impossible for
us to compete with southern melon
growers in producing a large speci
men, but we do not consider this de
sirable. There is more profit in a load
of uniform melons which will weigh
about 15 pounds each end which will
sell for $t per dozen than there is in
a load of larger ones. —J. A. Symes, in

Ktt'ter for the Ten Table.
If you want your butter to look
really inviting, have it done in tiny
rolls, one for each person. You can
buy the corrugated boards for making
it up at any iron monger's. Scald
them thoroughly first and let them
lie in cold water till you are ready to
begin. Take a bit of butter about as
big as a walnut, put it on one board
and with the other pat It down till it
is about an eighth of an inch thick.
Then roll it, place it on the butter
dish and do the next in the same man
ner.
Spots on Silk.
Grease spots, pure and simple, upon
delicately colored silks are best treated
with either French chalk or corn
starch. Powder the chalk flue and fill
two little cheese cloth bags loosely
with it. Lay one bag upon the board,
stretch the grease spot, right side
Sown, over it, ancl cover the spot with
the second bag. patting it out flat. The
chalk ought to be only a quarter of an
Inch thick. Set a heavy hot iron upon
top of the upper bag, and leave it there
for several minutes —of course, taking
care that it does not scorch the un
covered silk. Remove the iron and the
rthalk bags, then if the spot has not
wholly disappeared, shake up the bags,
so as to bring fresh chalk to the sur
face, and repeat the whole process un
til the last speck of grease has van
ished.
Art In One's Dwelling.
It has become quite the acceptea
thing in house furnishings that a cer
tain trend of style s>iall prevail in
each room. That is, for a parlor hand
some effects are proper, but in a living
room, where comfort and a prevailing
air of "usedness" is desired, every-day
things are de rigeur, while for a bed
room suite dainty things are in best
laste. For this reason the up-to-date
housewife does not use handsome cur
tains in the bedroom, so the simpler
ruffled ones are more favored. Those
in the know predict a growing mode
for semi-colored effects for these ruffled
curtains, as in keeping with the old
timey flowered chintzes and cretonnes
?o popular for bedroom adornment just
now. Not in bright, strong hues, but
the softer tones, in Dresden effects,
vet with quite large figures, too. White
ruffled curtains with a wide border of
iarge blossoms in Dresden tints just in
side the ruffle, are especially liked.
Table Ornamentation.
It is a Viennese fancy to have the
(lowers used on the dinner table match
the prevailing color. Jasmine and
iahlias have been used recently with
artistic effect. Last season very little
silver was seen on the tables at fash
ionable dinners in Vienna. It has been
.•estored this season, but all the articles
ire small and ornamental.
In preparing tiny candles for placing
on birthday cake, heat the eye end of
needles in a gas flame, and while hot
torce them into the lower end of the
;andles. The little holders supplied in
the shops are bulky affairs, and take
up so much room where many birth
day counts are needed that this idea ol
in ingenious woman may well be rec
ommended. Tiny stars may be cut
from gilt or colored papers, or little
candies may be used as ornaments foi
the base of the candles.
The Japanese fern balls make pretty
centrepieces for occasional use, and
are suspended from a chandelier by an
invisible wire. They should hang to
within an inch of the table centre, and
If a circular mat of mirror glass is put
just underneath a very pretty effect
is secured.

STRANGE MONSTER IN FLORIDA.
Reptile Formerly Thought to Be a Crea
ture of Indian Imagination.
An enormous reptile, more like the
extinct brontosaurus, or fabled &ea
serpent than any living creature, has
just been' killed by a hunter in the
lower Florida Everglades. He means
to send the skeleton to the Smithson
ian institution at Washington.
It has for 100 years not only been
a tradition among the Seminole In
dians who inhabiated the borders of
Lake Okeechobee, but it is stated as a
fact wunin the knowledge of some
of the Indians now living that an im
mense serpent made its home in the
Everglades and has carried off at least
two Indians.
The Indians reported the animal to
be snakelike in appearance, with ears
like a deer; that it had only been seen
In the Everglades, and that it was very
wild. They said that when it trav
eled it frequently stopped, raised its
head high above the sawgrass to take
a view of its surroundings to discover
enemies or to locate victims, a deer,
bear, hog or some other animal. If
frightened, the Indians asserted that
it glided off at immense speed.
These stories have kept the venture
some hunter and trapper on his guard
and in a state of more or less anxie
ty. notwithstanding they did not give
credence to these Indian stories. Re
cently Buster Ferrel, one of the bold
est and most noted of the hunters of
Okeechobee, who for 20 years has made
the border of the lake and the Ever
giades his home on one of his periodi
cal expeditions noted what he sup
posed to be the pathway of an im
mense alligator.
For several days he visited the lo
cality with the hope of killing the
saurian, but was unsuccessful in find
ing him. His pride as a hunter was
piqued, and his desire to obtain the
hide of what he felt sure to be one of
the largest alligators ever seen in this
section, where alligators are noted for
their immense size, grew daily. He
studied some plan to outwit it. A large
cypress stood near its pathway, and he
concluded to climb the tree and take
a stand for his game. He accordingly
took his position in the tree. For two
days he stood on watch with his rifle
ready. Nothing appeared. He was be
coming discouraged, but determined to
give one more day to the effort.
On the third day, before he had been
on his perch an hour, he saw what
looked to him like an immense ser
pent gliding along the supposed alli
gator track. He estimated it to be
anywhere from 25 to 30 feet long and
fully 10 to 12 inches in diameter where
the head joined the body and as large
around as a barrel 10 feet further
back. The creature stopped within
easy range of his gun and raised high
its head. As it did Ferrel shot at its
head. Taken by surprise the serpent
dashed into the marsh at tremendous
speed, while Ferrel kept up firing until
he had emptied the magazine of his
rifle.
About four days afterward he ven
tured back into the neighborhood and
about a mile from where he first saw
the monster he saw a large flock of
buzzards, and went to see what they
were after, and there he found the
cieature dead, and its body so badly
torn by the buzzards that it was im
possible to save the skin.
He, however, secured the head, and
has it now in his home on the Kissim
mee river. It is truly a frightful look
ing object, fully 10 inches from jaw
to jaw. and ugly, razor-like teeth. He
described the animal as dark colored
cn its back and a dingy white be
neath. with feelers around its mouth
similar to catfish.
He has gone back into the swamp
with the intention of obtaining the
skeleton and bringing it back, after
which he will send it to the Smithson
ian institution in Washington.—New
York Times.
"Master of tlie Mnslck."
The court position of "master of tho
musick," to which Sir Walter Parratt
was reappointed recently in London,
is much sought after by composers.
One first hears of this quaint office in
ItiGO. the first holder being Davies Mell,
famous as a violinist and clockmaker.
John Banister, his successor, was dis
missed because he dared to think that
English violinists were superior to
those who came from France. In 1C72
Thomas Purcell. uncle of the great
Henry Purcell, held the appointment,
and he was succeeded ten years later
by Dr. Nicholas Staggins, the first pro
fessor of music at Cambridge univer
sity. Sir Walter Parratt, who is the
organist of St. George's Chapel, Wind
sor, and who is an eminent chess
player, was appointed "master of the
musick" in 1593 on the death of Sir
William Cusins. The band he conducts
consists of 34 instrumentalists, one of
whom, the harpist, is a woman. When
performing before the court they wear
a very picturesque costume of blue.
Isolated Tribe in Mexico.
In the village of Amatian de los
Reyes, in the state of Vera Cruz, Mex
ico, a little handful of Indians have
lived for 200 years, and have continued
to keep, during all that time, their na
tional characteristics, their traditions,
and their individuality. They are
known as the Amaticas. The Amaticas
are perhaps the only peopie in the re
public who have succeeded in retaining
for themselves wh?. f . is practically self
government. It must not be under
stood tuat they make any pretensions
of being independent of the control of
the federal authorities in Mexico City.
They long ago gave up as hopeless any
struggle against the power of the Span
iard. and later on the Mexican nation,
jind this submission is responsible for
the fact that they have been able to
retain their ancient customs, habits
and modes of government.
The BlfcKest
The biggest authenticated bag se
cured at one shot, of which I have
ever heard, consisted of one rabbit
(the cause of the shot), one beater, one
onlooker, (a French cook.) a l»oy, and a
dog. I once shot nine snipe at a shot
—but this was in South America—they
were on the ground, ancl they were
shot for the pot. I have read of a
sportsman (not Baron Munchausen),
who shot a bumblebee and a butterfly,
right and left; nnd, indeed, sometimes
a large bumblebee does, for an Instan
taneous second, look uncommonly like
a distant advancing grouse; just as,
when on the alert for partridges, the
fieldfares, breasting tlie hedge, often
cause a nervous twitch of the gun.
(• urlous circumstances sometimes oc
cur out shooting. A friend walking
in line down a turnip field saw a
startled hare running fast and straight
toward him up a furrow. He stood
still, waiting for her to turn, but the
hare, with its peculiar vision, did not
see him, and ran her head plump
against his shin, killing herself and
very seriously bruising his leg.—The
Fortnightly Iteview.
Chinese Feeling About the War.
Down here in the South, the people
are angry that they should be called
upon to pay anything toward the big
bill that lias to be paid before the Chi
nese question is finally settled. A
well-to-do Chinese gentleman said to
me yesterday: "We had nothing to do
with this outbreak. We cherished no
animosity either against Christianity
or the foreigner. Nor did the Emperor.
This foolhardy bravado was attempted
by a handful of fools in the north of
China, whom the officials did not at
tempt to suppress; therefore these fel
lows should be made to pay the bill,
and not we." Poor fellow! He forgot
that China is one, at least as far as
paying goes. There is therefore a
great deal of grumbling and antago
nism among the people against tills
heavy tax.—North China Herald.
