Mysterious Disappo,,rances.

The records sh ow that men and

a year, disappear from among their
friends more completely than il the
earth opened and swallowed them up.
Some OF them turn up again. but more
do not. There is Que prominent name
among those missing, one that most
persons In New York will remember.
it Is that OF s. S. Conant. He was In

set.ipg MILK In The Winter.

The discovery OF the new method OF
raising the cream by the addition Of
hot water to the milk, is as valuable
for winter dairying as for that OF the
summer 1t is easier TO keep milk
warmer in the winter than cool In the
summer, but yet fuel costs money, and
it is an economy 10 spare it. 1t had
been thought strange that while milk
that is cooled by ice in the sum NOR
will throw up the cream to the top OF
2O-inch pail. the milk set in air at
the same temperature in the winter
will not throw up the cream in the
same manner. This fact is explained
in this way: When milk is set in n
deep pail in ice-cold water, it is sud
denly cooled down to 45 degrees, and
it is this sudden cooling which causes
the cream to float to the top quickly,
by the rapid increase in the density Of
the milk by the sudden cooling. If
milk is set in deep pail is exposed
to cold air, it cools very slowly. That
which is in close contact with the
sides of the pail will cool and may DO
frozen by the cooling, while the cen
ter will retain its warmth for several
hours, and thus the cream does not
separate.
But if milk in the winter time is d.
luted with hot water and is set in a
cool cellar at 30 or 55 degrees, or any
where else where it will not freeze, the
cream is all separated in u few hours
and this occurs with milk set in shallow
pans, or deeper pots, or in the common
deep pals And thus the use OF stoves
in the milk room is dispensed with.
The thinning OF the milk by the addi-
ton OF water enables the cream to
rise by the force of its lesser gravity,
quite as much rs by the increased
density or heaviness of the milk cooled
by ice. The effect il the same In both
methods. and thus this invaluable dis
coverv is applicable TO winter dairying,
as well as TO summer work.

Marketing Honey.

The financial success OF the beekeep-
er depends very much on his tact and
ability in selling his product. Some
can handle both. bees and honey, bu!
cannot sell either to nd vantage Others
are good salesman. but poor producers.
A few can produce and sell success
fully, and with equal facility. To one
OF the latter it is amusing ms we'll as
annoying to note the methods OF mar
keting practicei by some beokeepers,
and TO observe the diverse and dubi-
Gus samples of honey on town mar
ket or huckstered about town from
door to door. Crushed bees. larvae,
bee-bread, old comb containing candied
and liquid honey, in one conglomerate,
unsavory mass, forming some of the
samples OF what is brought TO marie t
and called honey CD by some of the
old-fashioned beekeepers, who still ad-
here to the ''old box hives" and "take
them up" in the fall with fire and
birthstone. Then, when certain of the
colonies die in the spring from disease
or other cause, the remains in the hive
are cut up, and dshed up in old tin
pans or ricISety tin pals, and taken
away to market Or, if it is not taken
away as comb honey (save that
mark), it is duly converted
into strained honey, and
this is the way it is done: The afore-
said tumble OF delicacies is cut up and
squeezed, then hung up by the stove
to warm, after which IL is squeezed
again. with something under to catch
the composition as it oozes out, and so
on till all the nectar, and juices. and
seer etlons, and fluids, and excretons
are squeezed out of the bag and it's
contents. That, then, is dubbed
strained honey, and taken to market
| and sold at twOpence to siXpence a
pound to either innocent or penurious
victims. who go home to feast on
''bread and butter and honey" Well,
'where ignorance is bliss, It's folly to
DO wise" When the apiarist who
uses ''excluder sine" to get the clean,
pure comb honey, and the extractor to
get the clean pure liquid sees this
thing he naturally feels both amused
and disguised. However, the con-
sumner will soon come to understand
the difference between pure extracted
honey and the stuff called strained
honey, and between the beautiful Sec
ton comb honey, with not even u trace
OF bee bread in it, and the medley Of
bees, pollen and honey above de-
scribed.
In the successful marketing or money
much depends upon the manner in
which it is put up, and judgment in
putting up, and fair business tact in
disposing, no bee keeper need have
honey left on his hands, no matter
how much he produces.
Owing to the scarcity of the crop
the past two or three seasons, both in
Europe and America, and the scarcity
of small fruits this season, the demand
for honey is good, and the market
satisfactory. Producers need not,
therefore, be in any hurry this season
to sacrifice their product by forced or
premature sales at unremunerative

British Naval Whiskers.

The Admiralty were recently severely
criticised by the English service papers
for an order issued that the officers would
be supplied with toilet articles issued by
the Government, and which were entirely
inadequate for use on shipboard. One of
the latest emanations from this "head-
quarters" is a regulation to the effect that
the officers and men of the Royal Marines
when serving on board of ship must wear a
mustache, whether they elect to wear
boards or not. An inquiry has been sent
to my Lords" by an officer who has been
unable to grow hair upon his face what
he shall do. He will probably get a reply
that he must resort to some of the many
nostrums that are advertised in the Eng
lish newspapers. and which are claimed
by the advertisers-to be infallible. Has
any member of the Board an interest in
some of these, or has some unfortunate
marine been indulging in 'mutton-chop"
whiskers

Hot summers Way BACK.

A German writer, dealing with certain
prognostications of great summer heat,
goes back for precedents. In 627, he says,
the springs were dried up and men tainted
with the heat. In S79 it was impossible
to work in the open fields. In the year
993 the nuts on the trees were roasted as
if in bakers oven. In 1000 the rivers in
France dried up. and the stencil from the
dead fish and other matter brought pest,
Hence into the land. The heat in the
year 10l4 dried up the rivers and the
brooks in Aisace-Lorraine. The Rhine
was dried up in the year 1882 In the
year 1l52 the heat was so great that eggs
could be cooked in the sand.
In 1927 it is recorded that many men
and animals came by their death through
the intense heat. In the year 1908 the
waters of the Rhine and the Danube were
partially dried up and people passed over
on foot. The crops were burned up in the
year 1894, and in 1888 the Seine and the
Loire were as dry land In 1856 a great
drought swept through Europe. In 1914,
in France, and even in Switzerland, the
brooks and the bitches were dried up.
Not less hot were the years 1916, 1879 and
1701.
In the year 17l5, from the month of
March till October, not drop of rain fell,
the temperature rose to $50 Reaumur,
and in favored places fruit trees blossomed
a second time. Extraordinary hot were
the years of 1924, 1746, 1855 and 1911.
The summer of 1915 was so hot (the ther-
mometer standing at 400 Reaumur) that
the places of amusement had to be closed.
