MIR. j. l.. RAwLINs, having declined the
nomination to the county attorneyship by
the Independent Workingmen's and the
Peoples parties, the Peoples committee
has substituted the name of Mr.. S. A.
kENNER in the ticket. The choice is a
good one, and will be entirely satisfactory
10 the party, and to the working men asos
In this connection our attention has been
called to an editorial statement in a Liberal
organ that Mr.. KENNER recently moved
his family to Logan and was elected city
attorney OF that place." all of which is alb
soiutely untrue. Mr. KENNER has been a
citizen of Salt Lake for the past five or SIX
years; he has not moved his family to
Logan, and has never even contemplated
doing so; and he is not city attorney of
Logan, the Office being vacant. A few
months ago the Logan city council en-
ployed him as an attorney, but a lawyer
does not lose his residence by giving legal
service to client elsewhere than in his
own city. Mr.. KENNER is a citizen of Salt
Lake and registered voter here.

day the country will awake to the injustice

fathers house. Bill assisted about the
farm, while Sally. his wife. assisted his

Young Bill had been unusually sober
and thoughtfu for some time. and the
old man suspected that something was
on his mind, but he said nothing. One
day they were behind the barn looking
at the field OF corn, when young Bill
opened the conversation:

Bill was so engrossed with the beau

he did not notice dangerous light in

though tolerably fair Christian and an
elder in the Sugar Run Presbyterian
church, was not so strict in his ortho-
doxy as to deny himself the luxury of
his Sunday morning scrape- He even
went SO far sometimes as to take pan
of salt and go out to the ''fur eend of

he never did this without protest from
his good wife Polly. who thought it "a

which fronted the south, to sharpen his
razor; this done, he would go into the
house and. taking down the little
kitchen mirror, would take it out and
hang it on nail on the porch where he
could get better light for his weak. old
eyes. On the particular morning OF
which l am now writing Uncle Bobby
had been having hard time of it. He
had started out early, as was his Gus
tom, to do the chores, and found that
the horses, led by old Tom, the equine
rogue of the farm, had all been in the
cornfield all night. The old gentleman
had vast lot of trouble getting them
out and up to the barn. He fIIlly &C
complished it, however, but not until
he had kept the breakfast waiting for
nearly an hour and worried the
''wimmin folks" nearly to death for
fear they'd "be late to meetin'."
Then the next trouble came when he
found that he was utterly unable to get
his razor in ''good runnin' order"
Three different times had he tried to
shave and had given it up in despair.
So there he sat, in. the soft morning
sunshine, carefully strapping his old
fashioned horn-handled razor on the
softest part of his bootleg. Finally he
succeeded in getting it SO that it would

ABOUT CONSUMPTION.
Dust Is One of the Comm Csu<e4 Of
Lung Mischief.

Dust Is One of the Commonest Causea of
Lung Mischief.
L. is a curious fact that butchers ara
almost exempt from consumption Ii
we remember that their shops are airy
and open, that they are abundantly fed
on animal food, and that from early
morning they are rapidly driving about
in the open air, taking much exercise. and
living well. we shall be able to under
stand the influences which prevent the
access of chest affections These con-
ditions of open-air exercise and high
feeding are in fact antagonistic to con-
sumption. 1t must not be supposed
that we are urging all threatened con-
sumptives to become butchers, but their
mode of life might be initiated with adj
vantage. Dust is one of the commonest
causes of lung mischief In many cases
it is not the only exciting cause. but
often it is the chief and most deadly Of
several deleterious influences to which
workmen are exposed. The mortality
amongst those employed in many dusty
occupations is simply enormous. We
are told few men who enter certain
rooms in cotton factories ever live to
attain to the age of thirty-eight Out
of twenty-Seven men in a certain fax
factory, twenty-three had some form Of
chest disease The noxious influences
of varnishes, turpentine and drying oils
in developing consumption is we'll

means infrequent among artisans who
use solder, such for instance as tinmen.

turner's and those whose work necessf-
tates the use of sand-paper. are usually
great sufferers Many plans have been
devised for preventing the entrance OF
dust into the air-paSsages, and some are
very simple and worthy of adoption
The practice OF wearing a respirabor, or
a vail over the mouth and nostrils, with
the growth of the beard and musDache,
may be cited as examples The objec-
ton usually made to the respirator is
the expense, but one made of cork can
be obtained from the chemists for a
shilling. The midday meal should
never be taken in the workshop, and
the hands should be washed before
going out to dinner These may seem
little matters. but only those who have
workmen for patients know how con-
stantly they are neglected in dusty
occupations the pores of the skin get
blocked up by the dirt, and it then
ceases TO perform its functions Nor
mally it acts as direct purifier of the

neys and lungs in this ofioe--Family

Digging Big Holes for Trees.

This should be unnecessary. DR..
Warder said that the hole for tree
should be as large as the orchard This
is the best of advice. 1t means that the
ground should all be we'll prepared before
a tree is put into it. Then one needs to
dig only far enough for the roots to fall
in easily. But the hole must be big
enough for the. roots. Do not twist or
crowd them; and there is where the
ordinary tree planter will shirk- Be-
fore you know it. he will stick in a tree
with the ends Of the roots all but peep
ing through the ground Don't be
stingy with your holes" is advice which
I have to give almost every day in
planting time. Get the fine earth firmly
in and about the roots. This usually
requires the work of the fingers, but it
can be done easily.-Orange Judd

AGRICULTURAL HINTS.
NEW METHOD OF TESTING MILK.


DIR. B.bcock Of the Wisconsin Station
Any one who has attended dairy
convention or who carefully follows the
dairy literature-of the day must have
come to realize that milk testing is the
leading question before our dairymen.
The rank injustice of paying for milk
or dividing the money between patrons
on the '''pounds-delivered" basis has
been tolerated only because it could not
be avoided. When the system of pay
ing for milk upon weight is new in a
community it works fairly we'll
for short time, but soon patrons learn
to take advantage and the result is that
as time goes on more and more milk is
required to make pound of butter or
cheese. OF course there are always
few who water or skim; these are oc-
casionally caught and fined or expelled,
but the difficulty does not end here, for
there are other ways of getting ahead.
The greatest trouble has been through
buying and breeding COWS which por-
duce the greatest number of pounds of
milk without any regard whatever to
quality. Between the COWS giving thin
milk and the patrons who skim or
water. dairymen producing good milk
and factorymen have had a hard time
of it. Factorymen have come to realize
that their best friends among the pat
rons have been the poorest paid. Going
from bad to worse matters have come to
a point where unless some more equita-
BILE system is adopted we must expect
the factory system to drag out misera-
BILE existence, if it is not driven to the
wall.
1t was my pleasure last winter to at
tend the annual meeting of the Illinois
State Dairymen's Association, where
learned that the demand for test was

FIG. i. THE BABCOCK MILK TESTER.
still the leading question. 1t seemed
apparent that while some were satisfied
with Shorts, others with Patrick's test,
something better adapted to factories
and moro economical in the use of
chemicals was called for. Deeply inn
pressed, I returned and reported the
situation to DIR. S. NJ. Babcock, who at
once set about the work. uncertain of
course as to what the outcome would be,
but willing to do his best. Five months
of patient work resulted in the new
me thod of fat analysis now given to the
public. Now that we understand it the
wonder is that this method of analysis
has not been found out before, for many
chemists must have gone that very way
and passed close by.
Briefly stated the method of analysis
is as follows: A measured quantity of
milk is placed in glass bottle with a
long. narrow, graduated neck. An equal
volume of commercial sulphuric acid is
added to the milk, which has the effect
of breaking up the caseine and black
ening the sugar, but does not destroy
the fat. The fat is brought to the sur
face by placing the test bottles in a
slanting position in the rim of a hori-
Zontal wheel, and whirling by hand or
power about eight hundred revolutions
per minute for five or six minutes. Hot
water is then poured int to the bottles until
the necks are part filled. when they are
whirled again for a couple of minutes,
at the end of which time all of the fat
has risen in the neck where it is read off
on the graduated scale.
By the old laboratory methods the
chemist must charge couple of dollars
an analysis if he makes the wages COM
mon to his class. BY the Babcock test
