THE DAIRY.

The Connecticut House Of Repre-
sentatives has passed a measure which
Furnishes selling of oleomargarine unless
the purchaser is informed OF the real
character of the goods.
The Powell Manufacturing Com
pany, Burlington. VT. of some Jersey
milk received at their factory recently,
made six and one-half pounds of butter
from 100 pounds of milk.
The further q man goes into the
cheese and butter-making business. the
more convinced he becomes of the alb
solute unreliability of scientific tests Of
quantity and quality of these materials
in given quantity of milk.
Milk from maggots" is the active
heading of an article in the Weekly Iri-
bune. wherein it describes the feelings
of man who had the temerity to stir
up hogshead of sprouts" in dairy
mans stable, who sent milk to city
near by. The man escaped, but the
cows did not. They had to remain and
eat the vile stuff.
"A creamery at Portland. Me-.
started in January last with the milk of
400 cows; sixty cows added since; q
good many of these cows not in milk at
present. The product is 1000 pounds
butter per week now. 1t costs three
and one-fourth cents to collect the
cream and make the butter.-Dairy
World.
"A cow rather thin in flesh, if
healthy, says Hoard's Dai7yman, is
almost always sure to drop vigorous
calf, while fat COW will generally have
a lean calf and one that is quite apt to
be weak on its legs. A fleshy cow is
also more apt to have puerperal fever
or milk fever, and as rule is apt to be
slow in coming to her milk after calving.
which is not the case with lean COW.
twenty-five cents a gallon is the
price at which a noted Chicago ice
cream manufacturer is prepared to sup
ply Sunday-school picnics with ice
cream. This is how he makes it: To
five gallons of skim milk, costing twenty
cents, he adds half a pound of oleomar-
yarine, a pound of corn starch, half an
ounce of gelatine, and the requisite
glucose and favoring. What is the use
of enacting laws against butterine, when
they can be evaded in some new way
continually?
Says the Jersey Bulletin: ut is our
e0cation to sing the deserved praises of
the beautiful and the grand Jerseys
every week in the year. We have just
churned more butter from less cream
from three Jerseys than any five of any
other herd can yield" But why should
the editors be surprised that three Jer-
seys should yield less cream than five Of
any other breed? If the three had
yielded more, the fact might explain the
editorial exhilaration. Pecan away,
however!

EQUESTRIANISM,

How Ladies Should Ride Horseback-An
Experts Suggestions.
The horse-woman should sit so that
the weight of the body falls exactly in
the center of the saddle, without heavily
bearing on the stirrup, able to grasp the
upright pummel with the right knee, and
press against the hunting horn with
her left knee. yet not exerting any mus
cular action for that purpose. For this
end the stirrup leather must neither be
too long nor too short The ideal of a fine
horsewoman is to be erect without be-
ing rigid, square to the front, and, until
quite at home in the saddle, looking
religiously between her horses ears.
The shoulders must, therefore, be
square. but thrown back little so as to
expand the chest and make hollow
waist, ..such as is observed in waltzing."
but always flexible. On flexibility of the
person above the waist and on the firm
ness below, all the grace of equestrian
ism, all the safety, depend. Nervous
ness makes both men and women poke
their heads forward-a stupid trick in a
"Olildu ~
should bend like willow in a Storm,
always returning to an easy yet nearly
UPRIGHT position. This seat should be
acquired while the lady's horse is led,
first by hand, then with leading stick
and finally with a lunging rein, which
will give room for cantering in circles.
But where the pupil is encountered with
reins, whip and directions for guiding
her horse, she may be excused for for
getting all about her seat or her posi-
ton. The arms down to the elbows
should hang loosely near. but not fixed
to the sides, and the hands, in the alb
sence of reins. may rest in front of the
waist-Philadelphia Times.

The Story of an Old Violin.

In 1873 friend of Benjamin Do ane
of Aurelius, N. Y. died and bequeathed
to Doane violin which had been in the
friends family for so many years that
no The knew from whence it originally
came. Although the age of the instru-
ment was in question Doane attached no
special value to it. A few weeks ago he
was offered Sl2 for the violin. provided
he would have it put in good order. He
took the instrument TO w. H. Perry, of
Auburn, who is musical expert and re-
pairer of instruments. He took the old
violin apart. and while examining the in
side of its body he found
unmistakable evidence that it was
an old Italian instrument, with
indications that it was gehuine
Cremona. Perry consulted the leading
musical authorities. and the violin has
been pronouncei genuine specimen of
the work of Paolo Maggini, who was a
famous violin maker in Cremona in
1918. The instrument is worth at least
81 900. Mr.. Doane now refuses $500 for
it.-JIjcd Globe.

THE CIVIL ENGINEERS.
Second Fay OF the American Society at
Deer Park

DEER PARK, Md, June %. - At the
opening of the morning session of the
second day of the Convention of the
Colliugwood, of Elizabeth, N. j., read a
paper on the preservation Of forests. The
paper presented large number of Stats
tics collected from various sources, its
purpose being to show the necessity of
exercising economy in the use of forest
products, and the apparent possibility of
a wood famine. The writer concluded
that the supply of white pine in the
United States is certain to be exhausted
before the end Of this century, and prob
ably in Canada also. OF Southern pines,
at the present rate of consumption.
there is stated to be $50 years supply of
spruce and hemlock East of the Missis-
sippi there is probably twenty-five years
supply of hard woods. The supply of
black walnut and ash is being rapidly ex-
hausted. The supplies Of other kinds of
wood are, however, so abundant that a
famine cannot be predicted. In refer
ence to tree planting the writer states
that when intelligentiy undertaken in
regions where timber is scarce, a fair re-
turn is made on the Investment. In the
discussion that followed it was insisted
by Messrs. Collingwood, Eggleston and
others, that timber planting can be made
as profitable as crop planting. A paper
entitled Specifications for Strength Of
Iron Bridges" by Joseph w. Wilson,
engineer of bridge aud buildings of the
Pennsylvania railroad, was read by Capt.

THE MASTER PLUMRERS.
Third Days session of The National CON-
ventIOa at st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, June 25.-The third DAYS
session of the National Convention Of
Master Plumbers began at 10 o'clock this
morning. Mr. Holley, of Columbus. o..
read an essay on Technical Education. y
WHICH vas we'll received. The desider-
dtufll, he said, was some system of edu-
cation to afford special training for plum
bers' apprentices. In every large city a
plumbing school should be located hav-
ing working capacity TO accommodate
neighboring States and towns. There
should be a course of LECTURES from prae-
teal teachers which would inoulcate the
details of the business. Plumbing affects
the general health of all communities. 1t
involves more difficult problems to-dsy
than ever before. We have, Mr.. Holley
said, more large buildings, public
houses, hotels, large tenements, fats,
factories and the like to plumb than ever
before; sanitary principles must be I'M
derstood and put to practice else the re-
suits will be hot-beds Of disease and
pestilence.
A long debate then followed on the
subject Of fixing the per capita tax OF
members Of the association at 81 per an
mum. The matter was finally left to the
Executive Committee for adjustment. A
recommendation that the Plumbers As
ISOLATION be represented in the National
Board of Health called out a long discus
sion. The subject was finally referred to
a committee OF the State vice presidents.
The election Of officers followed. After
several nominations and Withdrawals,
James Allison, of Cincinnati, was unani-
mously chosen president of the associa-
ton for the ensuing year.

ROOM FOR ONLY FIRST CLASS MEN IN
THE PosTOFFICE DEPARTMENT.
There is considerable pressure being
brought to bear on Postmaster General
Villas Of late to make changes in officials
of the postal railway service. There are
quite a number of applicants for the po-
sition of general superintendent Of the
railway mail service, as also for the as
sistaDfs to the general superintendent at
New York, Boston, st. Louis, Chicago,
New Orleans and San Francisco. The
department is acting very slowly in max
ing these changes, not because it is be-
iievsd thet the services of the present
officials cannot be dispensed with, but
owing to the desire OF the department to
get none but first class men for these
places. The chances are that there will
not be many changes in the general force
of railway service messengers, for all
such places are included in the civil
service system of the department The
recent examination held last week fol-
positions as inspectors in the postal ser
