COLOR OF BUTTER.
How Feed II Absorbed Directly Into the
MIR u Cows.

How Feed II Absorbed Directly Into the
AGilk u Cows.
To know that the fats in the food
arc absorbed directly into the blood and
are circulated through the system and
deposited where they arc most req aired
without any change by digestion in the
intestines, Is . fact in physiology that
is valuable to every farmer and dairy
man. It applies to the feeding of all
food animals. and especially to cows
kept for making butter. Thus the kind
Of fat in the food affects the color,
flavor and consistence Of the fat in tho
meat or In tho butter, and is Of i'm.
portance in various ways.
An instance, which Is entirely credit
BILE, is reported by . correspondent Of
the Country Gentleman. who AYERS that
some pigs which were fed upon cooked
Hubbard squashes had such yellow fat
that the meat was unstable. except at
. reduced price In IN analysis of this
kind of squash. which has deep yellow
color. BY Prof. Slower Of the Bussey
institution, il is shown that it contains
. large quantity Of fat, about % per
cent in the seeds and their fibrous en-.
velopes, per cent in the rind, and 34
per cent In the flesh, and rs the color
ing matter exists chiefly in the oil, it ID
quite reasonable that the fat of the pigs
90 fed, il this food was literally used,
- Il intimated In the report. should
acquire the color Of the food. It is well
known that the milk Of cows fed on
foods Of . rich yellow color is thus col
ored. and the feeding of carrots Is fire.
quently recommended for this purpose.
Some years ago. in experiments in
feeding pigs. it was found that, when
madden roots were given in the food.
not only the fat but the bones were col
ored pink. Just now. when tho arti-
ficial colo1ing Of butter Is being thought
objectionable, buttermakers are ad-
vised to color the butter through the
food, for which purpose pumpkins and
squashes arc suggested.-N. Y. Times.

WHERE ARE you, ANYWAY?

Four weeks ago last Friday evening,
says the Arkansas City Traveller, a Scotch
man who gave his name as George Grant
stopped at the residence of j. NJ. Ham
mond, of Creswell township. He was a
man about feet inches tall and wore
a full gray beard. He said that he came
from Springfield. Mo-, through the Chero-
kee country. and was on his way to Wich-
tia where his wife was living or visiting
with married daughter. The following
morning he asked Mr.. Hammond's per-
mission TO leave his baggage with him,
which consisted of grain bag. the con-
tents of which is not known, an overcoat,
pair of boots, quilts, blankets, etc. On
permission being given. the old gentleman
started to this city on his bay pony to
meet friend, be said. He stated to Mr..
Hammond's family that he would return
that evening for his luggage and then go
on TO Wichita. AS the stranger has not
been seen or heard of by any one who
knows him, there is some curiosity as well
as anxiety concerning his disappearance
Who is he? Where is he? What did he
leave his goods there for and why does not
be come after them?

SOUTH SIDE MEETING.

II would be hard to describe the meeting
of Sunday evening at the tabernacle on
South Emporia avenue. 1t far surpassed
any previous meeting. in the power of the
sermon and the interest OF the audience
Mr. Vernon took for his text the words of
King Agrippa to Paul: almost thou per-
suadest me TO be christian" The sermon
exhibited magnificent powers of eloquence
and orstory, of description and psthos, on
the part of the preacher, but best of all it
was delivered in the power of the Holy
Spirit, by whom it was manifestly carried
home to the hearts of all the members of
the vast congregation. who listened as if
spell-boupd throughout the entire dis
course of fifty minutes. A score and
probably more arose on invitation TO those
desiring to become christians, and several
were made glad through faith in Christ.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS.

At the last meeting of Turn Verein Vor-
waerts. the following officers were elected:
Otto Heller. president; Otto Koch vice;
Adolph Heller, recording secretary; John
Wegner, financial secretary; A. c. Husey,
treasurer; VIM. FRANKIE, teacher in gym
nastics; Peter Fishback, assistant; George
Meidel, senior custodian; Joe Brant, librar-
ian; Ignatz Kinseder, flag bearer; S. A.
Harburg, trustee. The meeting was a
very pleasant one despite the fact that
there was considerable of a friendly COM
petition for the important offices. The re-
ports of the various officers show the
society in a fiourishing condition.

THE COUNCIL

The regular meeting of the council last
night was fairly well attended by visitors
Councilmen Brown and Buckeridge were
absent The ever present lobby yawned
frequently during the course of the pro-
character last night
Two members of the police commission
and the police judge were present and oc-
cupied seats within the railing.
The minutes of the previous meeting
were read, and, after a correction
made by Mr. Glaze, were approved
Mr.. Martin called attention to the
omission of the city attorney and
the street commissioner which had
been made in the eulogistic resolutions of
the retiring officers passed at former
meeting. Mr.. Glaze, who introduced the
resolution heartily seconded the motion to
include the names of the retiring city at
torney and street commissioner, and stated
that it was matter of an oversight and in
no way intentional on his part.
Communications from the W. c. T. z.
were referred
Upon motion it was decided to vacate
Walnut street, Mr. Good not voting as he
was an interested party.
The project of building a bridge over
Little river on Eleventh street was discuss
ed at length. A controversy arose as to
whether or not the street railway company
could cross such bridge. This matter
had been brought up some years ago and
it was lost, so some of the councilmen
said. for the reason that $1,000, the
amount which had been decided upon to
build an iron bridge, was insufficient
to build bridge strong enough to bear
motor. A petition was presented to the
council last night signed by leading bust
ness men asking for the building of a
bridge on the same place. The matter
was taken under consideration and no
defnate action was taken in the matter.
After passing some appropriation ordi-
dinancse the council went into executive
session for the purpose of considering some
bills and for considering some condemna-
ton proceedings.

A CHICAGO WRITER ON THE TOLER
FARM

Major Budd, staff correspondent of the
Chicago Horseman, who visited this city
last week for the purpose of seeing Ash
land Wilkes and some of his younger
colts, has some pleasant things to say in
that paper of Wichita and the Toler farm
and the coming fair, which we will repro
duce in installments as the days go by.
He talks of all the fine FLIES and promis-
ing 2-year-olds, gets of Ashland, some of
whom have already won fame. He says,
among other things of his trip out to the
Toler farm:
81 had live curiosity to see the great
Ashland Wilkes. His record is so bright
and his general popularity so cordial that
| wanted to see him. | was much I'M
pressed with his personality; he has the
amiable countenance of his sire, Red
Wilkes, and much of the conformation of
his illustrious grandsire, George Wilkes.
He is a solid hay of the fashionable size,
and a producer of speed as well as perform
er himself. 1t is not out of the way to say
that he will doubtless receive the mantle
of his sire. Any visitor will think as
much when he sees his get, as | have
done. His colts show good, easy way of
gong and it is very likely that Ashland
Wilkes will furnish his quota to the list in
the near future. At years of age he had

get up to that time that had ever been
driven for speed Now, two years later,
this young sire has more stake representa-
tives than any other stallion in the west.
1t is all the more remarkable for the fact
that these entries have been made by out
nd
fortunatelowner of Ashland Wilkes. Surely
this horse is great producer of speed.
The owners of his get think very well of
him, and he will be able 10 demonstrate
in the next two years all that Mr.. Toler
claims for him.
