lions of men and women been able to read and

Judging the Age of Poultry.

If for the table, says the agricultural
editor of the New York World, examine
the feet and legs; the size and appear
ance of the spur form guide. The skin
of the pullet OF cockerel is smooth and
has fresh appearance, while that of the
adult fowl yearly grows coarser and
shriveled. Place the thumb and fore
finger on either side of the back near
the "pope's nose" or oil receptacle, and
press. Inyoung birds that part is supple;
in old birds it is difficult to bend. An
other test is feeling of the tip end of the
breast bone. If the grizzle forming
there is tender and supple the bird is
young. 1t is more difficult matter to
judge the age of ducks. Those ducks
that have arrived at 2 and years have
a deep depression down the breast feath-

The Beginning of Good Cheese.

In the making OF cneeSe the HFSG bnlHS
necessary is good, clean milk, free from
animal faint and barnyard odors. 1t is
impossible to make fine, clean favored
cheese from impure, tainted milk. The
first thing after the milk is placed in the
vat is to gradually heat it up to tenn
perature of 80 dogs. Fair. The heat
ing is accompanied by careful stirring,
in order that it may be uniform all
through, and also to keep the fat evenly
distributed through the mass. When
this point is reached the milk should be
carefully examined to determine its con-
dition as to ripeness. This may be de-
termined by the expert maker by the
sense of smell, but very much the best
way is by the use Of what is termed the
rennet test.
For this each person can fix rule for
himself and note the time it takes a
given quantity of milk to thicken with
the use of certain amount of rennet
extract. The rule used by a large num-
Der of cheesemakers is eleven ounces of
milk, in which is put one cubic cent?
meter of rennet extract. With this rule,
when the milk is of proper degree of
ripeness it should begin to thicken in
about two minutes. This test is founded
on the we'll known fact that with the
beginning of the development of acidity
in the milk the activity of the rennet is
ncreased.-Rural New Yorker.

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS.


Their Ingredients, Value for Particular
Crops and Manner of Applying Them.
Usually commercial fertilizers contain
two or all of the essential ingredients
viz, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot
ash, but sometimes only one. Plain SUI
perphosphates contain only phosphorlc
acid. Ammoniated superphosphates con-
tain nitrogen and phosphoric acid. Bone
contains and is valuable for both nitro
gen and phosphoric acid. Potash salts
sre valuable for their potash only. A
complete fertilizer is one containing nj
trogen, phosphoric acid and potash.
On account of the differences in soils
no rule can be given by which to tell
what fertilizer is best for any partlcu-
lar crop, and this question must be de-
cided by actual trials Systematically and
carefully made. Some such trials are
being made at the experiment stations,
and any farmer who desires to do so can
compare the effect of single and complete
fertilizers by making trials on his own
land.
In regard to the manner of applying
fertilizers, says Director nj. A. Scovell,
of the Kentucky station, it is generally
best to sow broadcast or drill and work
well into the soil before planting. When
small quantity of fertilizer is applied
to each hill or row at planting time it
acts mainly as stimulant to produce an
early and vigorous start, which is con-
sidered necessary for the tobacco crop,
but often renders it more sensitive to
drought. In any case care should be
taken to mix the fertilizer with the soil
so that it will not come in contact with
the seeds or plants. Most fertilizers,
and especially those containing much
nitrogen, soluble phosphoric acid or pot
ash, will injure or destroy young plants
if brought directly in contact with them.

Tenbrino of Butaritari, who arrived in

announces that his mission to this
country is to secure the protection
of the United States for the
Gilbert islands. He says that he
feels that these islands would be
much more prosperous under such .
protectorate and if this government
would accept the proposition and raise
the American flag over the islands he
would agree to transfer to the United
States the harbor of the island of
Butaritari and to keep the harbor in
good condition as coaling station and
for refuge at all times.

ALARM NEEDLESS.
Drayton and Borrowe Both Arrive Safe
and Sound in New York.

and Sound in New York.
NEW YORK, March 2i.-James Cole
man and Hallett Alsopp Borrowe, have
arrived here sound in body and limb
and with no evidence of the sanguinary
meeting which was half anticipatefby
the interested public on this side of the
water. So great was the fear Of quar-
rel that the agents of the White Star
line put strong guard of detectives
on board the steamship at the earliest
moment, they having been taken down
on the mail boat.
Drayton is what may be termed Il
well-made man of medium height,
slender and graceful attitude. He
wears slight mustache and glasses.
The general tenor of his conversation
was more serious than that of his
enemy. He was courteous, though not
inclined TO talk or receive reporters.
He consented however, before leav-
ing the ship, to briefly outline his po-
sition regarding the stories which had
beeu spread abroad about him. He
had not heard anything about the pub
LEGATION previous to the arrival of the
steamer. AS yet he had not prepared
statement, but promised to make one
later at the Windsor hotel
During the entire passage he had
seen little of Borrowe and regarded his
presence on the vessel as he would that
of coward. 1t was evident from his
words and manner that he had arrived
Mt the conclusion that Borrowe had
not only injured his domestic happi-
ness, but had refused him honorable
satisfaction, but that he further had
confidence in society here to ostracize
Borrowe and brand him as a defamer
and coward.
Borrowe refused to talk to reporters.
Mrs. j. Coleman Drayton, the cause
of all this rumpus, was Augusta Aston,
the third daughter of Mrs, William
Aston She was married to Drayton
about ten years ago and the match was
thought at the time to be brilliant
one, for Drayton was a representative
of one of the oldest and wealthiest
families of Philadelphia. Though he
had comparatively little money in his
own right, he was the prospective heir
to SIS, 000,0 900 from his two rich aunts.

AGAINST FREE COIN
The New York Chamber of Commerce

MemorIaIizes Congress.
New YORK, March 23.-The chamber
of commerce last evening forwarded to
congress a memorial on the silver
question. In it the chamber submits
that the interests of the country de-
mand:
First-That all existing legislation which
requires the secretary of the treasury to
purchase silver bullion shall be repealed.
Secondhand the opening Of the mints to
the free coinage of silver would, by degrad-
ing the standard of values, effect cOntis-
cation and transfer Of wealth unparalleled
in the history of civilization and produce
an amount of distress for which not the
slightest Justification is found i'll necessity,
policy or morals.
Third-That the only practical mode OF
dealing with the silver question Is by an
International conference and negotiation
with the other great commercial nations OF
the world, looking to the restoration Of sill
yer to its place as the national money on a
fair basis of relative value with gold, and
to such an extent as the conditions of COM
MERGE and the Judgment of financial au-
thorities will justify.

cock, of the Union stockyards, this

The packers are reticent in regard to

it is simply for the purpose of an in
formal consultation in regard to the
general packing interests Of the West.
1t is understood, however, by men
who are in y position TO be well in
formed that the gathering of packers
to-day is preparatory to the perfection
of permanent organization of West
ern packers for mutual protection and
for the purpose of promoting their in
terests in the. matters of freight rates
