THE FLAVOR OF MILK.

"On my farm 1 have had an unin-
terrupted experience in cheese making
for 81 years, but / have now aban-
doned the making of cheese and ar
ranged to sell my milk" says II. G.
Smith, in the Live Stock journal Al

"The reason for the change is that
for some years past we have been
fighting against q gradual falling off
from the fine flavor which for long
time enabled us to make very salts

For quarter of a cent1ry, viz. from
1856 TO 1881, we were on the ascend

quality of the cheese which the farm

set in, against which the greatest care
has been only partially successful.

the food upon which the cows have
been lately fed. but also indirectly t.
the continuous use of large amoun
of artificial food and manure which

There is a contractor in Washing

pears that for long time past Fort
Meyer has been short of water, and
finally the department made contract
with Maish to bore an artesian we'll.
The we'll was to flow $50 gallons a
minute of good water, and the price
was to be $4,000. To his own and
'everybody's surprise, Maish struck a
tremendous flow of water at depth
OF 80 feet. Its temperature is so de-
grees, and it is thought to come from
the vein of some of the Virginia hot
springs The water is said to be very
pure and good, but yet the contractor
has not got the money, the depart
ment apparently thinking that it was
too easily earned, 800 foot for an

FARM AND GARDEN.
IRRIGATION AND TREE CULTURE.


The necessity for tree culture is
equally imperative with irregation,
says Colman's Rural World, and the
arid lands question will never be salts
iactorily settled without the recogni-
tion of this principle in its solution.
America can i'll afford TO ignore the
experience of other nations in this re-
spect, and forestry should receive
equal consideration with irrigation.
1t has been estimated that within
historic times some 1000, 900 Of square
miles along the shores Of the Mediter-
ranean, once highly fertile, have been
changed into worthless deserts, and
for nearly 1900 years the inhsbitable
portion of the earth has decreased at
the average rate Of $500 square miles.
This has been produced by the direct
agency of man-the evil being chiefly
due TO river floods caused almost ex-
clusively by the destruction Of land
protecting forests.
1t is right that America should SET
the example of reclaiming desert lands
and thus increase the earths capacity
for supporting the human race. Irri-
cation and tree culture must go hand
and hand in this work.

seemingly with no intention or pur-
pose in view. She does not care to
scratch, but hangs around the hen
house, evidently waiting for her next
feed. She gets up late in the morn
ing and goes to bed early in the even
ing. That hen may be put down as a
very poor layer. The eggs of some Of
the other hens go to help pay her
keep. Here comes another. She
walks briskly and there is an elasticity
in her movements which shows she has
something in view. She is neat aud
natty in appearance, small head,
with a thin neck, nicely arched
and curved. She forages or
scratches all day long and may be
too busy to come for her evening
meal. She is at the door in the morn
ing waiting to be let out. She snatches
few mouthfuls of feed and is off to
the meadow, looking for insects. Be-
fore she gets out in the morning she
generally deposits her daily egg in the
nest, or returns after short forage.
She is neat, clean and tidy, with q
brightness and freshness pleasant to
tho eye. That is the hen that pays
for her feed and gives a good prof
all the year round. The writer has
noticed these traits since hoyhood ant
knows that they are infallible. BY
studying these traits any man may, il

1T looks, to the Chicago Times, as il
The days of iron were nearly over.
There is a shrinkage of production as
against steel every year Steel is as
cheap and sometimes cheaper than
iron, while its durability is generally
showing itself as infinitely superior.
Scarcely ship is now built of iron
plates. A striking instance of the su.
periority of steel was lately shown.
An Australian liner built on the Tyne
from local steel plates was run on the
reefs in fog at Honolulu. For
eighteen days she was rocked on the
Jagged rocks until tidal wave lifted
her of. All along the bot ON the
plates on both sides were bent inward,
the keel bar being broken. The plates
would only bend, however, not break
not single rivet had sprung nor had
a drop water penetrated the bottom.

her and made much favorable com
ment on the ductile and durable prop
erties of steel as compared with iron

The use of corn meal in Europe is
increasing, partly owing, explains
the Boston Cultivator, to the
efforts our Agricultural Department
has made to increase the foreign de-
mand for this great American staple.
The Italians are the latest converts to
the new food. They now use corn
meal in making polenta, instead of
msins ground chestnuts, which was
the material formerly employed. The
corn meal is cheaper and better, be-
cause not so hard to digest as meal
from any kind of nuts.

A Nlne.c,nt Coin.

The nineteen.forty-nine and ninety.
nine.cent marks on many articles of
merchandise have led certain investi-
gators to demand innocent coin.
1t is said in defence of this idea that
it would greatly facilitate making
change and save shoppers great deal
of time. There is some reason to
think that a certain class of shop
keepers would not exhibit any great
degree of enthusiasm on this point, as
there are many persons who will sacri-
fee the one cent rather than wait, and
this is clear profit. But be this as it
may, it is said that the innocent piece
is sure to come. The demand for
paper money fractional currency is
becoming emphatic in certain quar-
ters, and it may be possible that with
this circulating medium there will be
odd-number pieces, all of which will
be of great use in the almost universe

He CLOUDS The CASE.
Griffin Makes an Unexpected
Showing in Court.
Most Damaging Evidence Against
Him Is Invested With an
Element of Doubt.

Whether guilty or not of the many
crimes charged against him John J.
Griffin succeeded beyond expectation
yesterday in throwing so much doubt
about one of the cases that his holding
to the grand jury is amatter of some
doubt.
Three complaints have been made
against him, one by Selim Michaelson
charging him with stealing gold watch
and one each by S. Tribolet and M. E.
Hurley, charging burglary.
The defendant was examined yester-
day on Tribolet's charge and this by
the way was the zone which it was
thought would be the most easily sus-
tanned. Among the cash stolen from
Tribolet's was twenty dollar gold
piece which had been fused with some
silver coin in fire several years ago
and large button of silver adhered to
the gold. The coin belonged to Chas.
Graf, an employe of Tribolet's and had
been kept in the safe a long time.
When 1t was taken out no one knows
but it was first missed after the burg
larry on Saturday night. When Griffin
was arrested gold piece recognized by
Mr.. Tribolet as this one was found in
his pockets. The silver though had
recently been removed by acids
and traces of the acid were discovered
on the prisoners hands. So there
seemed to be no doubt of his guilt.
He was defended at the preliminary
exami nation by G. F. Ainsworth and
the territory was represented by
Mr.. Moriarty. The territory proved
that no one disputed the find
ing of the gold piece and was
prevented from introducing what
seemed to be corroborative testimony
showing that after the burglary the
prisoner had converted a lot of dimes
and nickels into money of larger demo-
mination.
The defense paid attention to nothing
but the mutilated gold piece and the
prisoner swore that he found it in the
ruins of one of the houses of i'll fame in
the rear of the Central hotel. He
proved by three good witnesses that he
had the piece in his possession on Sat
urday afternoon so he could not have
stolen it that night. Upon this show
ing the prosecution receded from the
theory that the piece had been taken
that night but at some previous time.
The matter was taken under advise
ment by Justice tombstone.
Two other damaging disclosures were
made against Griffin. An owner was
discovered for a silver watch found upon
him. The watch was stolen from an
employee at Casey's ranch month ago.
Griffin was suspected at the time, but
no effort was made to fasten the crime
upon him. Another gold watch which
had been sold by Griffin was identified
as one which had been stolen from
Rollo Baker, also employed at Casey's.
