IF She Only Knew.

The wife Of O. cabinet minister went
out OF town for day or two, the week
before she was to hold big official re-
ception. She got into a carriage at
Euston in which were a young lady and
apparently her aunt, her intrusion being
much resented by the young lady, who,
am sorry to say, did not scruple to
utter audible expressions of annoyance
at the invasion of her privacy, and al
together tried to make things as awk-
ward and uncomfortable as possible for
the cabinet minister's unhappy wife.
The latter, however, settled down be-
hind her own paper till she was reused
by the sound of her own name. care
you going to Mrs. IS reception?" the
young lady was asking her aunt. Yes,
the aunt was going. Whereupon the
niece broke into vehement EXPLANATIONS
of her desire to go, too, and for the rest
of the journey talked over every posi-
bility of getting an invitation from the
cabinet minister's wife, who was all the
time sitting opposite to her.-London

The Dispute Between Retailer and Pro-
Queer in Philadelphia.
According to the Farmers and Dairy
mems association, there is an emergency
staring the people of Philadelphia in the
face which bids fair to become as serious
MS the late water famine in Brooklyn
was expected to be. This is famine in
milk. 1t seems absurd, but the mem
bers of the Dairymen's association say
it is a grim, cold fact, and that one of
these fine days housemaids and cooks
getting up to make the family break
fasts will find that there is not drop Of
that common commodity wherewith tc
mix the succulent oatmeal or the nour-
ishing cocoa, unless some means arc
taken to control the retail milk dealers,
who, the association says, are the whole
and sole cause of the present state of af-
fairs.
Through the domineering way of the
retailers and the persistent manner in
which they have cornered milk for years
past that useful and necessary article OF
ulGG lids COSO1lO ~ cNNASO uAIc1b uiAO
Farmers and Dairymen's Protective as
ISOLATION We're forced to take some de-
cisive steps to protect the interests OF
the wholesalers. Accordingly they met
together and agreed that no milk should
be sold at wholesale for less than AZ
cents per quart. This is a direct increase
of ~ to 2 cents quart.
Hitherto the retailers have been so
powerful as to be enabled to purchase
milk at about what price they liked,
giving anything from ~ to 8 cents
a quart for it, and compelling the far
mers and dairymen to deliver it to them
freight paid, In spite of this fact,
though, they have persistently kept the
price up to the consumer, and have never
parted with single quart of milk for
less than eight cents, making at least a
clear profit of five cents If they paid the
highest price for it,
This state of affairs meant starvation
to the wholesaler, the small farmer and
: the dairymen. They demonstrated. The
retailers were. obdurate. For time
things went along in this way, but with
the increase in the price OF fodder and
stock, numbers OF small dairymen Went
out of the business in disgust. This
caused a great scarcity in milk, which it
is said will further increase. In this I'M
precedented predicament the wholesalers
saw their chance and determined once
and for all to assert their independence.
They met and determined they will sell

Rennets for Cheese.

Good rennet is essential to the manu-
facture of good, uniform cheese, and the
best factories endeavor to obtain the
best which the market affords. The i'm
ported rennets are often found in a very
poor condition, being moldy or honey
combed with worms. Not few of
these rennets have come from the digest
i've organs of swine, sheep and goats,
and they are not to be trusted unless
they are guaranteed. The commercial
rennet is generally sold under the name
of "rennetine," and it has given the best
satisfaction to the factories, with the
exception that the price is generally
higher. The homemade and properly
cured rennet is greatly desired by the
factories, for it is superior to the i'm
ported article and cheaper than the
commercial rennets.
In carly days rennets sold as high as
fifty cents apiece in the market. Farm
ers, owing to the reduction in the price,
have neglected to save this part of the
Calls stomach when slaughtering. Even
at five cents apiece, however, they are
worth preserving if large number of
calves are killed. To preserve them the
Calls stomach should be emptied of
curds and then be blown up like blad-
der. Previous to this they should be
rubbed with salt and then filed with
air. They should be tied up and hung
away to dry. About a dozen of these
skins are placed in four gallons of sailed
water at the cheese factory, and after a
days soaking the fluid is used for cheese
making purposes. A great number of
properly cured American rennets will
thus be used in one year at the factory.

Notes.

An 1cehouse ought to be ventilated at
the ends, toward the top, so that hot
air, which always rises to the top, may
escape in summer. In the tightest ice
house more or less hot air will always
get in.
The health authorities of London have
been notified of an extensive outbreak
of pleuro-pneumoni in south London
In one dairy alone fifty cows have been
killed, owing to the fact that they were
suffering from this disease.
Dairymen who must buy COW feed are
in duty bound to keep close watch OF
the market. There are times when
cheap lots of feed can be secured, and
these the man who would make dairy
ing pay must look out for.
Speaking of the nasty habit Of allow
ing poultry to roost in the tool house,
The Rural New Yorker remarks, ''You
might just as well invite the hens in to
roost on your wife's sewing machine"
Standard prices for horses in the New
York market: Pairs of carriage horses,
$500 to 81 800; teams of truckers or ex-
press horses. 5000 to $500; good saddlers,
1915 to $3.50 each; drivers, $275 to $3.50;
business, $175 to $S75, and streeters, 500
to $3.50.
In raising animals for breeding pur-
poses let them be well matured before
their work begins. Do not overfeed, as
fat is a disease that impairs breeders
usefulness. 1t is a keen observer and
reasoner who knows when an animal is
just right, neither too fat nor too lean.
Instead of shutting up a sow and
weaving pigs in the usual fashion, try
simply keeping away from the SOW all
sloppy, milk producing food. Give her
dry feed and let the milk dry up itself.
A man who has tried this method says
that by it the milk gradually fails and
the pigs wean themselves before they
know it.
There is a revolution going on in all
the departments of agriculture, dairying
and live stock raising. The man who is
to succeed in any of these industries in
the future is he who will use his brains
as shrewdly and constantly as the great
financier uses his. The old fashioned
slow, ignorant farmer and dairyman.
with their sloppy, dawdling methods,
will fortunately soon now be starved
out. Shrewd. quick and farsighted as
the CITY business man must the new kind
Of milkman and butter maker be.

ueavv Ancient Saddles.

In Montfaircon's engraving of the pill
lar Of Theodosius, the covering upon
which the rider sits seems to have a
pommel in front of it and the extremity
of saddle tree in the rear. That the
saddle was in use in 1856 is substantiated
by an edict of that date issued by
the Emperor Theodosius, forbidding
riders of post horses to use saddles of
more than sixty pounds in weight. The
saddles of that day must have been pom
derous affairs compared with the light,
yet strong and compact saddles now in
use.-Detroit Free Press.

VOICE OF THE PINE TREE.

Thou'rt haunted; 1t is not thyself
Breathing such plant of woe:
1t must be some unhappy elf
Whose heart broke long ago.
Now it revisits thee Away,
And stirs thy harp of sorrows
We hear its tiny fingers play
And shudder for the morrow.
1t seems to presage grief unborn,
That trembling sigh of sadness;
We fear to hail the rosy morn
Lest we should miss its gladness.
It is as if from earliest time
No joy thou hadst felt,
But caught the echoes of cline
Where only trouble dwelt.
A mystery hovers overhead
And shrouds thee ali thy days;
We glance around for presence dread
When that strange music plays.
It cannot be thy dirge of woe,
Thy secret grief unfurled;
There is so deep an overflow
Il saddens all the world.
1t moves us on the windy height,
1t haunts us in the starshine;
It follows through the monday light
The signing of the pine.

Ages of Trees.

The pine tree has longer life than
trees of other species and attains an age
of from 500 to 700 years; the silver fir
comes next with 1926 as maximum, then
the larch with 275, the red beech next
with 245. Tho maximum ages of the
aspen, birch, ash, alder and elm vary
from 210 down to 1870. The oak begins
to decay when about 300 years old,
though one particular variety of oak, the
holly, attains greater age than this

Butter Inspectors.

Why should not boards of health in
spect bad butter and cheese as well as
bad meat? In many instances, however,
the groceryman is as much to blame or
more than the farmer. His cellar where
he keeps the butter is a sinking hole,
full of kerosene, rotten vegetables, rank
Goldfish and all sorts of filth. He will
take good, sweet butter and treat it as
though it was a side of sole leather.
The penalty of the proposed law, how
ever-that Of would be apt
to bring his sense and decency to the
front and compel him to treat good but
ter in decent way. In considering this
oleomargarine question we need to look
at both Sides There is not the least
doubt but that the ignorance and stupid
Indifference of thousands of farmers to
the demand Of good dairy sense and
practice has done more than all things
else to encourage the introduction of the

Prizes for Jerseys at the Worlds Fair.
At the meeting of the American Jersey
Cattle Club committee in Chicago, J. j.
Richardson offered the following pre-
Rmble and resolution, which was unan-
imously adopted:
Whereas, The dairy school at the Worlds
Columbian exposition will afford the most inn
portant test of dairy cattle ever held in this
country or abroad, and will go far toward
practically determining the relative merits of
the various well known breeds of dairy cattle
represented: and
Whereas, 1t is very important that tho
Jersey breeds shall be represented by its best
specimens and the merits of the breed shown
to the best advantage; therefore, be it
Resolved, That this committee respectfully
calls the attention of Jersey breeders through
out the world to the Importance of this school
and suggests that they take such action as may
seem proper to them in adding to the awards
made by the national commission such special
prizes commemorative of the event as will add
to the interest in the school and be a lasting
memento of the exposition.
