Tho movement toward securing the Ma

somewhat obScured last week owing to the
hurry burly attending the Columbus Day
celebration. Pursuant to its action OF yester-

the Presidential election to consider this
important matter. What the outcome will

should contribute toward such projects.
There Is an apathy among Pittsburg busf-

trying to stir up desire among the business

Nuts and Nutrition.

A good story is told of DR.. Dio Lewis,
who wished to make a marked impression
on the minds of his boarding school
girls. They teased for nuts at dinner,
and were promised all tIssg wanted. The
next day nothing but n5sa appeared on
the table. ''Now, girls, sale DR.. Lewis,
seat all you want and you will be as we'll
off as if you had your usual dinner; but
nuts taken after a heavy meal are too
much for the stomach to bear, and surely
bring on Indigestion. The Plowman
says: F'Scientists have pronounced nuts
an excellent article of diet. In this case
they are not to be eaten as a desert, but
as tie main staple of the meal. Nut
trees beautify a lawn and serve for utility
and ornament at the same time. The
cost of planting and growing is small.
The market for nuts IS assured. They
may be called one of the staples Of com

MILK TESTERS.

The new milk testing machines are
creating quite a revolution in the dairy.
The chief item of change IS in the
method ct paying for the milk at the
factories whether the milk is to be made
into butter or cheese. Formerly it was
the custom to pay by the pound Of milk
without regard to the percentage of fat
or solid contents, but under the new
system the rule is to pay according to
the proportion of butter-fat found in the
milk. When butter is made from the
milk it is easy to see that the pound of
milk which produces the greatest amount
of butter is the most valuable, and should
be paid for accordingly. Vita cheese
as made in this country, though the
rule does not bold good in Europe. the
more milk fat is worked into the cheese
the more valuable it becomes, thus com
outing the price of milk at the cheese
factory upon the same basis as at the
creamery. The struggle to discover
some simple and reliable method of test
ing milk has been going on with vigor
for years. At first it was thought all
the milk solids would have to be deter
mined in order to make a fair test of its
value. But practical ~dairymen have de-
cided That if they can tell the amount
of ava hble fat in the milk that will
settle as value SO far as they arc con-
cerne(N, There may come a time when
cheese anakers can produce as fine cheese
from TT SKINNED milk as the Dutch
now dne In such IN event makers will
have to look more sharply after the
caseine than the fat in the milk.
The new machines for determining the
fat nave suggested a new industry. Stu

student can establish u clientage, and by

found to pay its promoters. It is diff

FOREIGN WAYS OF COOKING GOOSE.

The usual way to prepare a goose for
the family dinner table is to stuff it with
sage and onion stufflng, to roast or bake
it, and to serve with brown gravy and
apple sauce. Those, however, who OBJ
jects to the high flavor of onion stut1ing,
should try the following German recipes.
Prepare the goose as usual for roast
ing; peel and cut up apples into pieces
the size of nuts OR marbles, add three
ounces or four ounces of currants well
cleaned and pumped in boiling water;
put a piece of butter jim with the apples.
Fill the goose and close it with a skewcr

or sliced almonds, mixed with the apple
filling, are also used.

KEEPING STABLES WARM.

Farmers sometimes make the mistake of
supposlng that artificial heat must be
given to keep stables warm in winter. A
weli-built barn, well filled with its stable
occupants, will keep itself warm. The
heat given off by the animals, although
not so high in temperature as a steam
radiator, is SO vastly different in extent
that water will not freeze nor approach
freezing. A single COW presents a warm
surface from her body of about forty
square feet, and the farmer who keeps
twenty cows in his we'll built stable has
therefore the benefit OF 800 square feet
Of warm surface constantly presented to
keep his apartments warm. A we'll
built structure, well kept, with a full
number OF animals, will not be likely
ever to freeze; and the water for them,
brought under ground in o pipe from q
spring, will not be reduced in tempera-
ture ton point near freezing. It will
hardly be necessary, with such treat
ment, to warm tho water artiicially
which they are to drink.-Chicago

REPAERs OF OLD WAGONS

For two or three years with proper
care a well-made farm wagon will need
no repairing. 1t must be housed. and
possibly painted, during that time.
When it begins to need repairs it will
probably sell for more than it is worth.
as the repairs required will be twice or
three times the interest on a new wagon.
IL was once a remark of a country black
smith that the wagons of some of his
nelghboring farmers added as much in
cost OF repairs as did the expense of
horseshoeing. The more a farmer thinks
about these wastes the better he will APP
preclate the Importance of having some
place where all wheeled vehicles and
farm tools generally can be housed when
not IN use.-Boston Cultiyator.

BOILED GRAIN FOR FOWLS.

French poultry raisers cook grain for
fattening fowls. They boil it until soft.
1t is claimed that this method not only
increases its bulk but its nutritive value
as well.
-Four pints Of oats boiled will fill a
pint measure seven times.
-Four pints of barley boiled will fill a
pint measure ten times.
-Four pints of buckwheat boiled will
I'LL q pint measure fourteen times.
-Four pints Of corn boiled will fll a
pint measure fifteen times.
Four pints of wheat boiled will fill a
pint measure ten times.
-Four piats of rye boiled will fill a pint
measure fifteen times.
There is a diversity of opinion with
reference to feeding dry and cooked
grain. Our experience is that fowls
prefer cooked foods, aud that for fatten-
ing purposes it is much more rapid in its
effects than dry foods. -Ladies' Home
