THE Bethlehem, Pa, Times, notes, as a
curious coincidence, that since the cleo
margarine business has come to the front
the soap-stone quarries in the vicinity of
Easton have been run night and day.
Before the demand for oleomargarine
there was very little demand for soap
stone. But il is now ground up into a
smooth, greasy and almost impalpahle
powder, very useful for purposes Of adul-
teraiion. 1t is cheap, and gives weight

In The Rough.

The marble was pure and white
Though only a bio at best,
But the artist with. inward sight,
L oked further than all the rest,
And saw In the hard rough stone,
The loveliest statue the sun shone on.
So he set to work with care
And ohiseled a form OF grace
figure divinely fair
With tender, beautiful face
But the blows were hard and fast
That brought from the marble that work at last.
So think that human lives
Must bear Gods chisel Keen
If the spirit yearns and strives
For the better life unseen,
For men are only blocks at best,
TIL the chiseling brings ont I'LL the rest.

THE NOSE IN THE DAIRY The New
York Dairyman, one of the best papers for
dairymen and the handlers of dairy prod
ucts, whether milk, butter or cheese, says:
''The nose seems like an insignificant mem.
Der of the working force about a well con-
Quoted dairy, but it really is powerful
ally when properly appreciated and judic-
iously applied. Every one knows that bad
odors are the greatest mischief makers that
can come in contact with milk, butter or
cheese. With its presence, good butter
cannot be made, while milk, and especially
cream, absorbs bad smells rapidly and fatal
ly. For the purpose of detecting the pres
ence of these unwelcome visitors, keen
smelling nose should be cultivated. There
is no doubt that this sense, like all Others
feeling, seeing, tasting, etc can be great
ly cultivated, and just as surely lost by
neglect. The person who lives within the
reach of odors from glue and soap factories
soon becomes totally indifferent to them
Just so, the careless dairyman, who allows
old cream and grease to accumulate about
the milk-room, never thinking about the
smell of things, fails in the end to notice
them at all until he finds his butter totally
rejected in the market. Fumes from cook
ing onions, cabbage and other strong SMELL
ing food, may permeate the air to such an
extent that the women of the family lose
all Of bad odors, and consequently fail to
detect lesser, but equally fatal odors in the
milk room. To detect a bad odor, it is
necessary to devote the whole attention of
your mind to the matter. Take up each
article in the milk. room aud smell of it, TO
see If undetected trouble is not brewing
Doing this once day will put the senses
on the alert, and thus avoid much trouble
and loss when the butter is to be marketed.

The Difference.

From actual experiments made it is de-
monstrated beyond a doubt that the grind
ing of grain adds one-third to its value for
feeding purposes This is matter Of a
good deal of importance to the agricultural
community, end, in fact, to all classes who
have animals to feed. AS far as dollars are
concerned, perhaps 1t is not of so much
moment in the Northwest, where grain is
SO cheap and so plenty, as it is in other por-
tons of the country, where less grain is
raised, but it is worthy of the consideration
Of those who have not full bins of oats and
corn. Since the introduction of cheap feed
mills, it Is the province of every farmer to
own one, with which all grain intended for
the stock on the farm should be ground.
