Butter Flavor.

Respecting the favor controversy
about butter, French scientists do not
accept the assumption that it is due to
a special bacteria, and prefer 70 con-
fess they cannot explain. The munic-
ipal laboratory, while not in any way
calling in question the animalcule that
has so much to do in the fixing the
price of butter, not the less has had to
handle very fine samples of butter,
good in flavor, sailed to perfection,
with buttermilk oozing out, but which
consisted only of margarine and blad-
dered lard. Food has something to do
with the flavor of butter, since turnips
affect the fats. There are chemists in
Paris that will prepare in t~weDty-tour
hours an imitation of any bouquet or
aroma that would deceive the very
elect. 1t is alleged that by regulating
the supply Of bacteria or yeast mi
crobes. any cheese can be made during
any part of the year. Now the two
popular French soft and cream
cheeses, Camembert and Brie, cannot
be served, though always to be had, at
any correct dinner table during the
summer.-French correspondent Mich
igan Farmer.

We have known men to walk two
miles to grind an axe on q neighbours

their own. And yet we have seen these
same fellows with their tanks so full

possible.
1t is not always the poor who thus
impose upon others. The rich or we'll
TODD are often the greatest offenders,
for this of the by-roads to wealth.
We know a rich man who lives in a
stChe's throw of a handsome store, yet
he makes an annual practice Of bor-
rowing so simple a thing as a garden
rake from his poor neighbor.
Let us make the inconsistency Of this
business more apparent. A invests $500
in farm machinery. Light per cent in
tertst on this is $40. B instead puts a
like amount in young cattle and uses
AS tools. The cattle grow in value,
and at the end of the year perhaps B
has made 100 per cent On his invest
ment. AS tools are the worse for
wear and tear" B invests and rein
vests his money in young stock till at
the end Of ten years 1t may have in
creased at q low estimate tenfold,
while AS tools, with BIS help, are wor
out and the original investment, to say
nothing of minor expenses, is gone to
the dogs. Would it be more unreason-
able for A to ask B for a share of the
profits than for B to help wear out AS
tools without any %pecuniary returns?
If there is anything fair Or just in such
a "lopsided" affair we wish some one
would point it out.
We always made 1t a point to make
what we could, buy what we could not
make and If unable to do either, do
without. We did not think there was
any n in this world who was under
obligations to keep us in farming tools.
And now, my friend, if you are in the
habit of thus imposing on your more
~free-hearted neighbor, better call a
halt before you become n burden and
a n~uisance.-S. G. Bunstine in Farm,

Light on an Old Question.

Prof. Dean. of the Ontario Agricultur-
al College has added his contribution
to the discussion of the effect of rennet
in cheese making. He holds that rem
net has the effect of ripening the
cheese. By actual experiment. cheese
made on the same date and handled in
exactly the same way except that an in
creased quantity Of rennet was used
in some as compared with others, that
in which the larger quantity of rennet
was employed was pronounced ripe at
a time when the others in which the
smaller quantity of rennet was used
vas considered green. This is not SIM
ply Prof. Deans own opinion about it.
but 1t that of experts who examined
the cheese. and who were not aware
of the different amounts Of rennet used
In making the two lots.

Growing Mushrooms in Pots.

Mr.. Thompson, the well-known horti-
culturist, has the following suggestions
as to the way in which he utilities the
space in his dollhouse in raising mush-
rooms. He says:
I place a ten-inch board on its edge
on the ground floor close to the hot wa
ter pipes, and outside Of the supports
another ten-inch board, with cross
pieces nailed every ten feet to keep
them in place; the space In my houses
is fourteen inches between those two
boards. I fill ten-inch pots with a
ure, prepared for beds, to within one
and one-half inches Of the top. l place
the pots in the space between the ten
inch boards and pack them closely with
spahagnum moss, and in each pot I
make a hole two inches deep and place
a small handful of spawn; the pots are
then filled to the rim with finely sifted
loan. and covered all over with a light
covering Of excelsior. This and the
sphagnum moss between the pots are
occasionally damped with tepid water;
in about five weeks mushrooms will APP
pear. Watering will be as for the beds.
1 find the mushrooms from pots in all
ways as fine as those from beds, nor Go
I find any difficulty in producing fine
mushrooms close by the hot water
pipes.

THAT MAKE HISTORY.


Cslristophc CT Columbus Fate Said to
Have Hung on a Game OF Chess.
1t is a Spanish tradition that the fate
of Columbus once hung on a game Of
chess, says the New York Ledger. For
years the schemer had haunted the
Spanish court, trying to interest some
one in his cause, but at last, despairing,
he determined to leave and go to
France. The night before his intended
departure he sought an audience Of
the queen to communicate his intention
and to take his leave. The queen asked
him to wait while she made one more
effort to interest the king, and left
the room for that purpose. She found
Ferdinand engaged in a game Of chess,
and, disturbing him by her entrance,
and thus causing him to lose a piece,
he let fly a volley Of oaths at seamen
generally and at Columbus in particular
and then informed Isabella that the
result of her petition would depend on
the result Of the game. 1t grew worse,
and things looked blue for the discov-
erer of America, but Isabella, overlook
ing the board, whispered to his majesty
a suggestion rs to a move that could be
made; the king adopted the suggestion,
and America was saved.
1t is a queer story, but no stranger
than the Ii told in Rome at the time
the divorce Of Henry VIII. was under
discussion that the negotiations were
broken off by the earl Of Wiltshire's
dog. This unmannerly u had fol-
lowed his master into the court, and
when the pontiff, at the close of the
audience, put out his foot to be kissed
by the earl, the dog bit it and so an
gered the pope and Mortified the court
that the negotiations were suspended.
The story may be true or false, but
in either case is an excellent demonstra-
ton of the value of the trifie, when the
trifle occurs in the life Of an exalted
parsonage, and gives point to the re-
mark made by Paschal along the same
line, that if the nose of Cleopatra had
been an inch longer Dr. shorter the
course of the worlds history might
have been materially changed.

OUR WILDES INDIANS.
The Papagoes of Arizona Who Arc
Not BIoodthirsty, but Are Grcnt
Wanderers.

| The Papagoes of Arizona Who Arc
Not BIoodthirsty, but Are c
anderer
The chief of the bureau Of ethnology
/ in Washington has sent two scouts into
| Arizona to look over the homes of the
Par ago Indians and to investigate their
race characteristics. They are the most
vagrant of American Indians. They
live in Southern Arizona. Often they
make foraging expeditions into Mexico,
and in the sense Of settled habitatiJn
they cannot be said to live anywhere.
They are the most nomadic Of all the
| goes were once q tribe of from 1000 to
1000. The exact number is not known
They are scattered over so wide a
| even one Of their own number could
form a clear idea of how many there
now are i'm the tribe.
The Papagoes are wild in the sense
that they are uncivjlized. but not in the
sense that they are bloodthirsty. They
are q very peaceful people and many Of
them assist their Indian neighbors in
harvesting their grain. They take their
pay in supplies, which they lay up for
the winter season. But in the sulnme
they live chiefly on the fruit of the
cactus plant and wild berries. 1t Is a
wonder how they live at all. Some Of
those who lead a rowing life own a few
horses and cattle. But the entire mum.
Der Of cattle owned by those who are
not on reservations is only 1000 and
the number Of domestic fowls is 1,15O.
The Papago Indians receive no ra-
items from the government. They are
actually self-supporting, asking nothing
Of the government and receiving very
little. There are from 300 to 500 In
dams gathered on two reservations, ono
near Tucson and one near ella Bend
on the Southern Pacific railroad.
These communities are not models OF
their kind. In fact they are described
as having each about thirty miserable
squalid adobe houses, with not a drop
OF water within many miles, except
what is caught in pools during the un.
certain Arizona rainy season, and in a
short time this water becomes thick
and vile, because the pools are the
common resort of the Indians, the cat
tie and the swine. What the Papagoes
need most Is irrigation to make their
barren land fertile, for that land now
will not furnish subsistence for a coy
otc or a gopher.

Spanked by a Flash of lightning

Spunkeu Oy u FluSn OF lightning
Richard Cole, the eight-year-old son Of
Albert Cole, 1928 Walnut street, did
not go to Sunday school yesterday af-
ternoon. It was not his fault, for, with
the assistance of his mother, he was
getting ready to go as fast as he could
when Providence, or somebody, or
something else, interfered and all at
once stopped Richard and plans. The
lad was bending over a trunk, getting
out a pair Of shoes, when q bolt Of
lightning struck the house, entered the
room, and struck him in the small Of
the back and ran downward. Richard
set up a yell and his very much fright

Farmers have a much greater sphere
of influence on the flavor Of milk pro-
duced than many suppose or they are
willing TO admit. The reason why a
certain number of consumers in all
large cities are willing to pay what, to
a farmer or an average consumer, may
seem extraordinarily high prices IS be-
cause they get buffers of high flavor
which is always uniform. The makers
of these buffers nearly all use clover
and meadow hay, and corn meal in
varying proportions with other coarse
fodder and meals. The makers who
produce the finest favors prefer clover
and meadow hay, cut on the green
side just before maturity, and care

Selecting Seed Potatoes.

James Harvey and his neighbor
Young have been testing the matter of
selecting seed potatoes for some years,
and In the American Farmer and Farm
News he gives the results Of his expe-
rience as follows:
We select our seed potatoes when we
dig the crop In the fall and do not wait
for the hurry~of spring work.
We select out good-sized potatoes Of
the shape we want, and all as nearly
of one size as possible.
We prefer potatoes about the size Of
a turkey egg or slightly larger, smooth
and rather fiat than otherwise, as a
pototo the shape Of a ball never cooks
through as evenly as one that is fat
tened a little. You see we not only
look to shape and quality, but to the
convenience Of the cook, for q poorly
cooked potatoe is half spoiled.
After we have selected the seed we
let it lie in the sun or at least a light
place, until each potatoe is pretty green
and they are pitted by themselves and
not disturbed until time to plant them
next spring. At first only a light coat
of earth is put over them, and this is
increased as the weather grows colder,
until a foot Of earth covers the tubers.
When the cold is severe enough to
freeze the ground a coat of stable ma
unre is put over this and then more
earth over it all. If this method of
pitting Is followed the potato will
keep until May without sproudng, and
this is important, for where the pota-
toes are treated as we treat ours the
buds are strong, and the first ones
should be kept dormant until planting
time, for If they get any considerable
start they will get broken off before
planting, and the second ones will be
much smaller and affect the crop.
We cut just long enough before
planting to allow the cut surface to get
dry.

The Change to Winter Feeding.
Live stock suffers by a sudden
change from the green food Of good
pastures to a diet of dry hay, or straw
and grain. AS the frost or the drouth
kills the green forage crops the stock
should have an occasional feed from
the winter wheat fields or turnips,
mangels, sugar beets, carrots or other
roots may be. fed to advantage with
the dry hay or fodder. An early sown
field of rye will make choice pasture
for fall feeding. Stock on o~verstocked,
or IN dried up pastures, should be fed
green corn fodder. either in the stable
yard or in the field. To gradually
change to dry food, fresh sorghum fod-
der cowpeas. vetches, Hungarian grass,
late oats with peas, or other good soil
ing crops may also be fed in the same
manner. If such green foods are not
at hand then raw potatoes, roots, or
wheat pasturage should be resorted to,
using with them and the dry forage a
grain ration of ground rye, corn and
oats, or wheat bran and middlings with
chopped corn. The grain should be fed
from small trOughs, and 1t Is more
profitable If freshly soaked or moisten-
ed and less will be wasted if thus
treated. The change of diet from short
runs in the newly moved or reaped or
husked fields will benefit the stock as
they will CLEAN many s~catterings and
eat nutritious weeds. Cattle and sheep
will be helped by being allowed to
browse the underbrush in timber land,
and when they begin to injure the trees,
they may be shut up in the barnyard.
1t will never pay to let stock lose flesh
and this is especially true with growing
animals. To keep their digestions
good animals should gradually change
from green TO dry food, and when eat
ing the latter they should have an
abundance of drinking water.
