Can't Re Dome.

The problems of how to make good
butter or cheese out of poor milk are
those which no dairyman should con-
slider. If they can be done it would be
much more to the advantage of all par
ties if the time and thought were given
to learning how not to have any poor
milk. There are difficulties enough in
the way in striving to produce a good
article from good milk. The farmer
should learn how not to produce any
poor milk, and the creameries should
learn, and are learning very rapidly,
how to detect it when offered to them
and how to reject it with sufficient firm
ness.-American Cultivator.

Fashions and the Turf.

1t depends largely upon how man
goes to a race course. If he goes on top
of drag he must wear frock coat and
tall hat; or if he is to sit in the boxes
with, or pay his respects to, the fair
sex, formality of garb is essential
But going with party of men for a
view of the running and small wager
on the races he would stand small
chance of getting the best odds in a
tight fitting long coat and hot silk
hat. But under no circumstances, as
an esteemed contemporary has it, go in
a frock coat in light colors, colored
shirt and tall hat. Never a silk hat
and colored shirt, unless you would be
mistaken for bookmaker. The diffu-
sion of such matter tends to retard the
onward trend of mems wear.-Clothier

Carrying Water
IN A SIEVE

Is about as useless a task as
attempting to salt butter with
a salt that is all lost in the
butter-working. Ashton's Salt
with its natural grain mot too
fine), is not open to this OBJ
lection. 1t is almost COM
pletely absorbed by the butter
and adds its own weight to
the product, so that the butter
maker who uses it, gets the
price OF butter for his salt,
which costs about one cent
per pound. For Cheese it is
the best. The strength and
purity of Ashton's Salt are too
we'll known to admit of ques-
ton. For sale everywhere.

HOW FOOTBALLS ARE MADE.
Pressed from a Gun Cotton Mixture, Gu

Pressed from a Gun Cotton Mixture, Cut
in a Lathe and Dyed.
"Celluloid has altogether superseded
ivory as material for poolballs," said a
manufacturer. GA set of sixteen cellu-
loid balls will outwear three OF four sets
of ivory and they cost only twenty-five
dollars, whereas you cannot buy six
teen good ivory balls for less than
$115. The condition of the atmosphere
which causes the ivory balls to shrink
end swell and crack just as il they were
made of wood has no effect upon cellu-
loid.
''Of course you know that celluloid IS
a mixture of gun cotton and camphor.
Naturally it would be yellow, but zinc
white is put in to make it white. After
the ingredients have been properly
mingled with the aid of steam heat the
celluloid is pressed into blocks, which
are little bigger than the balls that
are to be made. In order to render
them as hard as possible the material is
subjected to a pressure of 300 tons on
each ball. Next the blocks, are turned
in a lathe to perfect spheres of precisely
the diameter required by means of knives
which work automatically and cannot
cut beyond a certain distance from the
center of each ball.
.sWhen this has been done the perfect
spheres of cel1uloid are ready to be dyed
in various colors. For this purpose they
are dipped and allowed to remain for
some time in pots containing the dyes,
those parts which are not desired to be
colored being protected by means of lit
tie cups of brass ingeniously fastened
upon the balls. In the plain balls of
red, blue, green, purple and yellow only
the round spot where the number is to
go needs to be covered, but in the treat
ment of the striped balls the matter is
not SO easy. After they have been fshed
out of the pots the dyed balls are put on
a lathe and made to revolve rapidly,
while fine sandpaper is delicately ap-
piled so as to smooth their surfaces.
Then a keen knife, manipulated by
hand, removes from them the thinnest
conceivable shaving all over, which
does not take off the color, because the
dyes penetrate to little depth. Finally
sandpaper is again applied and the balls
are ready for the last process to which
they must be subjected.
''This last process is the vanishing.
They are placed for this purpose in little
wire cups, which come into contact with
them at as few points as possible, and a
transparent lacquer is bestowed upon
them by hand with brush. As soon as
they are dry they are ready to be packed
and sent to the retailer. When they are
newly finished they are quite as pretty
to look at as any ivory pool balls that
ever were made. When are the num-
bers put on, you ask? Oh, they are cut
very quickly with dies before the balls
go into the dye pots, and little plum
bago is rubbed into them to make them
black. No it would not be possible for
a calluloid ball like one of these to ex-
plode; nor could it be made to burn, in
asmuch as its density is too great. How
ever, if you were to cut it up into chips
it would go off at pretty lively rate
upon being ignited. Washington Star.

Oil Springs Long Since Abandoned.

Before the year 1900 oil springs were
known to exist along the valley of Oil
creek. The Indians of that section used
the oil for medicinal and other purposes.
Remains of wells and pits are to be
found in that vicinity. Some of these
have been cribbed, the timber showing
the marks of edged tools, and are sunk
to the depth of twenty feet or more. In
these pits and wells, which are now
nearly all filled up, trees over several
hundred years old have been discovered
growing. The Indians do not know who
dug these wells, and the presumption is
that they were dug by a prehistoric
ace.-Interview in Chicago Tribune.

Ducks for the Navy.

The novel suggestion has been made
that ducks should be trained and used
for naval purposes in the same way that
pigeons are used for conveying military
messages. The proposal comes from
Major Allatt, practical pigeon trainer,
who says that if we are going to use
birds to fly over water for naval pur-
poses ducks would be better than pig
cons, because when the duck gets tired
he drops and sits on the water until he
is rested and then goes on again Ducks,
moreover, can fly by night, while pigeons
cannot. Major Allatt thinks that sea
gulls might be trained also for message
bearing purposes.-London Court Jour-

The locomotives Voice.

An engineer on one of the railroads
running into this city says that persons
in his business can always judge of the
condition of their machinery by the tone
it gives out while running. Every en-
CINE, whether stationary or locomotive,
has a particular tone of it's own. The
engineer becomes accustomed to that,
and any departure from it at once ex-
cites suspicion that all is not right.
The engineer may not know what is the
matter, he may have no ear for music,
but the change in tone of his machine
will be instantly perceptible and will
start him on an immediate investiga-
tion.-CinCinnati Enquirer.

A Snake with a Powerful Tail.

According to Miss Hopley, ''the col

afraid of the burrowing snakes short,

This tail is of great use as fulcrum in
burrowing, and when the animal is
taken in the hand it will press the tip of
its tail firmly against the fingers, to the
terror of those who hold it, who forth
with dash it down, though it is wholly
powerless to injure."

that many cause apparently hopeless

A celebrated barrister with whom
cross examination was a fine art once

key of the legal situation-that he held
a most important secret.
