It Is a great mistake to work butter
too much and half tho country butter
that finds its way to our commission
houses has been worked until it is
only grease. Butter should be worked
as little as possible and have the milk
worked out of it.
Jersey breeders need not 20 to the
Islands now for the finest specimens of
that breed of cattle, for here in the
United States may be found the very
best that can be found anywhere.
American breeders, by their skill, have
accomplished the work of centuries in
side of thirty years.
The export trade in Canadian cheese
Increased last year 100, 1000 boxes, while
American exports fell off $50, 900 boxes.
This decrease in u exports tells it's
own story. Foreigners will not have
our filled cheese and we are rapidly
losing u export trade. The fault is
all our own, and if we do not correct
1t at once we cannot hope for a foreign
demand.
Does every COW in your herd pay
her way and leave q profit at the end
Of the year? This is a question that
every dairyman should be able to an
swer at once, in these days of testers.
If any COW is being kept at no profit
she should be sold at once at any price.
Keeping Il poor COW is like throwing
money away, and amounts to the same
thing in the end.
Rhode Island is a small state, but its
state fair association has nothing small
about it. for it has offered a cash pre-
MUM of $1,000 for the best dairy herd
of Ayrshires, Polled Angus, Dutch
Belted, Holstcins, Jerseys, Shorthorns
and Swiss. Such a magnificent pre-
MUM will no doubt draw herds from
all parts of the East and we hope the
example of Little Rhody' will be fol-
lowed by some of the Western states.
Until country storekeepers grade the
butter they buy and pay just what they
can afford to for each separate lot,
oleomargaTire will find a place. Some
farmers wives make butter that is just
Al fine as ever came from any dairy,
and they should get the highest price
for it, while other samples are not fit
to cook with, and should he condemned.
When butter is bought and paid for

ideas. The wheel is like a racing light
weight runne with steel rims.
The steel rims did not give satisfac-
ton at first and wooden rims were
used for awhile with poor success, so
the steel rims were put back.
Miss Bessie began to ride four months
ago., and, although she is naturally a
timid little thing, when she is OF her
wheel she is perfectly self-possessed.
Her bicycle suit consists of navy
blue boomers and a pretty braided
jacket and cape. One Of the troubles
Of this wee maiden's outings is to get
to her wheel, which is kept in Thirty
third street, without letting the pub
lie know that she wear tloomers. Her
mother puts a dress w her costume
until she is ready to mount. When she
Is in the saddle Miss Bessie considers
her boomers quite proper and mod
est.
With her fair complexion, bright blue
eyes and wavy brown hair, and slight,
childish form she makes a pretty
picture as she rides her wheel along
the boulevard.

Novel Use for the Camera.

II NOVeA Use 1OF the C0meFa.
p Now that it is possible to take in
Simultaneous pictures, the use of the
camera has extended in every way. A
few weeks ago a certain iron bridge
Of n of our railways was suspected
Of being unsafe. 1t looked all right,
but there were some reasons why the
, managers were afraid of it. They
could not decide themselves, and they
sent up to London for a famous en-
gineer to come and look it over. He
came and was puzzled, too, until he
thought Of a way to test it. He took a
camera and made a picture of the
bridge with no train on it. Then he
kept his camera in position and wait
ed for a fast train to come on. Pretty
soon an express train came thunder.
Ing along, and just a the big locomo-
tive struck the bridge he pulled open
the slide and took a second picture on
the same plate that still held the first.
When the plate was examined the pic
tue with the train was found so much
below the other as to show-what the
engineer and managers had feared-a
d >ngerous droop Of the bridge.-Tit-

TESTIMONY OF FINGER PRINTS

Many Minute Peculiarities Shown
When Seen Under a Lens.
When a finger or a finger print Is
closely examined under a lens Of only
moderate power it is e e to abound
in minute peculiarities says All the
Year Round. These are caused by the
branchings of some of the ridges, the
sudden appearance Of new ones, the
formation of rings, or ovals, like eye

without apparent cause. 1t is in these
countless little peculiarities even more
than in the general character of the
pattern that the value of finger prints
