Is IN principle the process of margarine

used as being more palatable. The
stearine is something employed for can

on margarine, Mr., Warren found, after

seed oil completely masks the smell and
flavor of this oil. Many may ask why,

selected for margarine! In the first

Cumming Cream from strinners.

1t is generally supposed that the cream
from COWS old in milk is more difficult
60 cburn into butter, and that the butte r
lacks the flavor and quality of that from
fresh COWS. But according to an expert
ment made by correspondent of the
Country Gentleman this does not always
follow. He writes; 1--WE churned the cream
from a number of COWS fresh in milk and
about half as many shippers, i. e., COWS
due in two TO four months. All along
since we have had new mich COWS the
cream has all been charmed together, the
butter generally coming in from 10 to 20
minutes and coming uniformly in good
graduated condition. The butter in this
test from the fresh COWS came in about
10 minutes, while that from the shippers
came in just nine minutes, both lots be-
ing excellent in quality and no Prece pt-
IDLE difference between them"

The editor of a Tennessee paper has
been making q tour in the mountain re-
gi0n of his state, and in his travels dis
covered a mill which he says is perhaps
the most primitive of the kind in the coun
try, and is almost entirely the sandiwork
of Mr.. Henderson. The mill proper is
about lSx2O feet, and is built of legs, after
the style of the country pig pen-that is,
the logs laid one on top Of the other, the
chinks not being filed up. The power is
furnished by water and the mill sets with
in about ten feet below the top of the
dam. When the creek is not overly flush
the water falls over the dam, between il
and the mill, and operates a horizontal
flutter wheel, but when the creek gets flush
the water comes over the dam in a volume,
and instead Of dropping bstween the mill
ana the dam, lands directly on the roof Of
the building and completely del1ges the
place. When il becomes evident that such
q state OF affairs is coming on, the miller

strange breed of wild cattle is found
in the high hills skirting the umpqua
valley, Oregon. In the mountains, near
Riddles and Rosebud, they are probably
most plentiful, but they do not venture
down in the valley much. They stay on
the hills and get water faom the living
springs which rise there. For the most
part they are concealed in the dense
growth of oak and fir in these mountains.

it is hard matter TO get them. They 90

known TO get together on a cleared place
like this every night for a couple of years.

first settlers came TO the valley. Their
COWS wandered of and could not be
found. After two or three years all the
pioneers had TO do when they wanted
beef was to rig out two or three pack
animals and 20 up into the mountains.
The cattle had to be killed on sight, the
same as deer and bear, for they could no
more be driven down than deer could.
Once killed they were quartered, packed
on the horses and carried down They

A Poor Investment.

A dairy COW that is not hearty eater
is poor piece of property, and she won't
pay for what she does eat. And yet
there are some false economists who
believe that the "easy kept" COW is most
profitable, because the feed bills are less
In this the COW may be compared with
the steam engine to produce the required
pressure of steam, certain amount of
fuel is necessary, and without this the
whole is wasted. The COW is machine
for converting food into milk and the
profits from her work are in proportion
to her digestive and assimilating powers.
Something can not come out of nothing.
