How the Seed is Mado to Furnish Oil and
 Flour-The Different Varieties

How the Seed is Madc to Furnish Oil and
 Flour-The Different Varieties
 ''Where does mustard come from?" replied a wholesale spice dealer to reporters in- quiry. "Most everywhere. It is of two va rietles. One is white and the other is black. The first is called English, and the otEer masqueradeS under a score of other titles. The English is full of flour, lacks pungency and IS seldom used alone. The other kind contains large amount of oil, said to aver age 9 to 30 per cent. The best variety comes from Italy and is known as Toieste. There are many varieties of this kind grown in California, of every shade of quality; also in other states. That known as Ken lucky is very pungent."
 "Do farmers generally raise it?n
 ''If they don't it is their own fault. They can. It requires little or no cultivation, but most of it is not worth handling"
 "How is it preparedY'
 Usually by compressing the seed to ex- tract the oil, because the seed is much more easily worked when the oil is out, and be- cause there is now ready market for the oil as salad oil, it being in many respects equal to the best olive oil. To extract the oil requires very powerful hydraulic pressure, and suitable press would cost from $1 800 to $2,OOO. Large dealers in the principal C1CleS OperdU0 Ill the seed or CruO0 SCOck ana press it and supply the trade with what is known as mustard cake, formed by the pro cess of extracting the oil, and which contains everything except the oil-the same precisely as Gnseed cake. After this the pressed seed is separated from the bran to extract the flour. Pure mustard cannot be ground in mills and unless it is very much adulterated it cannot be ground at all, on account of the oil retained in the cake. The usual process, therefore. is to take say 100 pounds and put a quantity of the broken cake in pot or mor- tar and pound and sift it so as to extract about 50 per cent. The machinery used for pounding the mustard is simple contriv- ance, called sometimes stamp mill, being a battery of pounders ranging in number from two up to sixteen. The process is slow, but very simple. After passing through the pounders the mustard cake-now reduced to the consistency of soft middlings, is trans ferred to series of sieves, the fine falling into receptacle below. This bolted four of mustard is strictly pure, and is as pure as it is possible to make it from the stock you have used, whether it is good or bad. ."-New York Mail and Express.

Milk and Food.

Writing from Dakota correspondent
says: Is it we'll for the health of a
family to use the milk from cows that
are allowed to eat the bedding that has
been used under horses and cattle?
Ours eat it and seem to like it. Per.
haps it has salty taste. can't think
of anything else that would tempt them
to eat the filthy stuff. The question
as to the fitness ofmilk for consumption,
under the circumstances described, is
to be answered on general principles.
Filthy food cannot make good milk.
But just what the result of using such
milk may be cannot be said. The
effects may not be noticed. And then
again they might be very serious. The
COWS are out of condition. 1t is a
morbid appetite, Change their food.
Feed mill stuffs or oil meal if you can
get. Give them the following in table.
spoonful doses night and morning:
gentian, ginger, charcoal, sulphur and
May apple root, half a pound each, and
copperas an eighth of a pound. Pulver-
ize and mix.
We find the above in the Western
Rurdl. The answer to the inquiry is
by the veterinary on the staff ofeditors
of the paper. All the large agricultural
papers have a/veterenary surgeon EN-.
ployed to answer questions pertaining
to their department, as also scientific
gentlemen to give food formulas for
stock. There is a noticeable omission
in the direction for giving the prescrip.
tion, Give spoonful night and morn
ing. But how many nights and morn
ings these doses are to be given is not
stated very important point to per.
sons unaccustomed to giving medicines.
Such oversights as this occurs in nearly
all the answers to the above class OF
questions, which leaves the majority of
farmers almost as much in the dark as
before receiving the answer.

dealers knowing this. and knowing that

dealers knowing this, and knowing that
they can palm off these bogus goods
marked "refined lard" and "creamery
buttcr,' buy and sell these counterfeits
whenever and where they can. This
reduces the demand for genuine lard
and butter. The people are deceived
and defrauded, and a sickening made
up mess is eaten. 1t is shame and an
outrage.
1t came out before the the committee
that Armour & Co. alone used 28,000,-
600 pounds of cottonseed oil in their
"refned lard" Fairbanks & Co. use
still more. There were exported, last
year, 100000 tierces of this bogus lard.
There was shipped from Chicago, in
1886, 80, 100000 pounds, and receiv-
ed there, from all sources other than
cottonseed oil, only 237, 100000
pounds. The same proportion of fraud
exists in Kansas City, St. Louis, Louis
vile, Cincinnati and New York.
Mr.. Fairbanks, the largest manufac-
turer, testifies that they had right to
manufacture lard with only 20 per cent
Of lard in it, stamp it "re6ned lard, !"
and sell it as such. This was simply
their trade mark-"re6ned lard.'' In
former years this term represented the

fraud, 20 per cent of lard and the rest
cottonseed oil is made to fill this trade
mark, 'refned lard," and Mr.. Fair
banks tells the Senate committee, "We
consider it perfectly fair to do ii"
Fortunately for the good name of
America, the committee did not accept
this idea, and they reported strong
bill to suppress a disgraceful fraud.
There is no limit to the damage that
bogus lard can do to our great swine
interests. 1t is a twin devil to bogus
butter, and both should be wiped out

Model Farmers.

Nearly every section has what might
properly be styled few model farmers.
At least they are such comparatively
speaking. Their farms, their barns,
their houses and surroundings are far
above the average in every respect.
These farmers show degree of thrift
and frugality too that is above the av-
erage. They are on time with their
work, they get the top prices for their
produce, they live better and nicer
than their neighbors, and generally are
respected more and held in higher
esteem than any other set of men in
their community. They are held up
as examples for young men just start
ing out in life, and, as tho title implies,
are good models to pattern after. IF
asked for reason why some men are
leaders in their line of business it
would not be hard to give. First, they
study their business. They go into the
details and master them thoroughly.
They work with their brains as we'll as
with their hands. They systematic
and economize. They take time to
read and post themselves, and in this
way get the advantage of others expe-
rieuce, They keep up with the times
in every way and by doing their duty
in the way that common sense and good
judgement dictate they clearly earn the
title of model farmers, and should enjoy
the respect that such a title commands.

NO. 5.
Wheat and the Alliance.

In conversation with a man from
Minnesota, he said that the Western
millers must have every bushel of No.
wheat at any price, in order to keep
up the reputation of their -four. The
Alliance Elevator company is just in
time to take advantage of this probably
true state of affairs, and it will have the
opportunity to show the wheat growers
of the Northwest what it can do for
them. The practical work Of the Alli-
ance, in such matters as this elevator
company occupies, has not commanded
the attention that it deserves. In var
ious ways the Alliance, in different To-
calities, has saved farmers an immense
amount of money. A great deal of mer-
chandise is being purchased through
the Alliance; cooperative dairying and
other cooperative enterprises have
been successfully managed. Many
people seem to think that the Alliance
is principally fuss and feathers, some
believing that it is an abortive political
movement, and others that it is nothing
but wind. A vast deal of Alliance
effort no doubt appears purposeless,
and yet we believe that even when an
Alliance is formed and does nothing
ostensibly, it is still doing great work.
The very fact of organization is very
significant.
But it is mistake to suppose that
the Alliance has accomplished little in
immediate benefits to the farmer. In
Texas it has done great work in this
line. In Dakota and Nebraska it has
done good practical work. In other
sections, and indeed in the sections
mentioned, it has exerted a great poll
tical influence. 1t is entirely worthy
the respect and confidence of the far.
mer for the practical results it has al
ready achieved Western Rural.

Remedy for Cabbage Worm.

The half dozen remedies for the for
midable damages committed by tho
common cabbage worm have all proved
Intellectual except pyrethrum, and the
dangerous one of arsenic. Another
remedy, and one which appears to be
better than either, has been discovered.
1t is the use of diluted lye, such as far.
mers have obtained from their wood
ashes. With less labor and more con-
venience, concentrated lye is found to
answer perfectly. A pound can, such
as is commonly offered for sale at the
shops, is sufficient for a barrel of water.
Applied with watering-pot, it kills
every worm which it reaches.

Large importation of Oxford
downs.

BY the steamship Baltimore, from
Liverpool, Col. F. G. Goldsborough,
of Easton, Talbot county, Md, receiv-
ed eighty Oxforddown sheep. They
are five rams and seventy FIVE ewes. all
yearl;ngs, made up of choice selections
from the best focks in England. The
Oxforddown is the largest of the Down
breeds of sheep, and they now hold
front rank among all the improved
breeds in England, having won first
and champion prize at the last Smith
field (London) fat stock show for "best
mutton sheep at the show
If it were not for the destruction OF
sheep by dogs, Cecil county alone
would produce thousands of the
choicest long and middle wooled sheep.
1t requires special care and close watch
over flock of sheep to preserve them
from the dogs. And there is but one
remedy for this evil, which is a law Of
the state to tax dogs and the evidence
of the tax having been paid collar
with stamped tag, renewed every
year. The tax should be at least 50 90
nd.sthe penalty for noncompliance with
the law be fine or imprisonment. A
dog cannot be sold for the tax as other
animals and to properly enforce the law
imprisonment alone would compel com.
pliance. The main object of the law
should not be the raising of revenue,
but rather to deplete the number of
dogs. Some breeds of dogs are more
given to sheep killing than others and
these should have the tax laid higher
on them, while the full bred, registered
colly might be taxed the lightest.
Farmers could have the dog nuisance
abated if they would set about it with
one mind and determination, and if
sheep could be left in their pastures
safely on any part of the farm, it would
be worth tens of thousands of dollars
annually to Cecil coutny alone. The
dog danger is the only reason why the
farms of the county, with few excep.
tions, do not have flock each of long
or middle wooled sheep, numbering 20
to 80 sheep. There is no more profit
able crop than lambs of the mutton
breeds with good fleece in May every
year. Such home protection against
dogs which are of scarcely any value,
would be of more advantage than a
tariff of a dollar pound on foreign
wool.
