for unloading, by being pulled, the

platform can be built long enough to
come within one foot of the ground at

can step on to it and lay the corn down,
but prefer for them to hand it to the
driver, because he is more apt to lay it

ELECTRIC FREIGHI CAR.

Keesport, Duquesne & Wilmerding
line in western Pennsylvania, only a
few miles long, operates combination"
baggage and passenger) cars, freight
cars and open trailers for vegetables,
besides special trucks for hauling sand,
bricks, lumber and theatrical scenery.
Formerly traffic between the ter
minal points of this route was con-
Quoted over two other roads meeting
like V at tsburgh. Now it takes
a straight cut across, over ridge 1000
feet high, saving distance, time and
expense. A great deal of mail and ex-
press matter goes by the new line.
Mails and local freight are now car
ried by trolley line from Lenape to
West Chester, Pa, and also on the
Rockland, Thomaston Sc Camden (Me.)
trolley line, which latter is about a
dozen miles long. Two very interest
ing freighting schemes, which are ur-
ban rather than rural, are the special
special provision on electric roads in
Frankfort, KY, for handling whisky,
and in Spokane, Wash, for handling
flour and wheat. In these instances
the new means of transportation dis
places ordinary drags.
Farmers and orchardists In Califor-
MIA are much interested just now in a
line nearly so miles long, which is I'M
der construction between Marysville
and Auburn, in particularly produc-
tive region. This enterprise has been
undertaken expressly to get produce to
market more cheaply than has been
possible heretofore. 1t will enable the
shippers to load directly, on to the cars
of the Central PACIFIC at. Auburn. The
power for this road is derived from the
South Yuba Water company, and after
the water has turned the turbines
which drive dynamos, it is taken up
again in irrigating canals for further
service to the grower of fruits and
vegetables Theresare other parts of
this country where similar railroads
ought to prove profitable to those who
undertake them.-N. y. Tribune.

beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
lening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

How GOOD Roads Would Benefit TIT

How Good Roads Would Benefit the
Dairymen, of the Provinces.
We have in our province, writes an
Ontario. editor, 1880 cheese or butter
factories. Each receives on an average
1000 pounds of milk day, being 1000
600 pounds per day and 75o,o0o,OoO
pounds per season for, the whole
province. On account of the bad
condition of our roads not more
than 500 pounds of milk are
carried in each load brought to the
factory, which is five loads per day, or
$50 loads per season, on an average
for each factory. Putting each load at
80 cents, which is not too high, on ac-
count of the whey being carried back
to the farmer, this represents an ex-
penditure of 1915 for each factory. For
the whole province, calculating that
$50, ooo, 900 pounds of milk have to be
carried, it represents an amount of
$46S, $50.
Let us suppose now that we have
everywhere good roads instead of bad
ones Then we will certainly be able
to draw loads of 200 pounds of milk
instead of loads of 800 pounds. In that
case instead of having to carry $50, 0O0,-
600 pounds of milk in 937, 500 loads of
800 pounds each, at cost of S46S, $50,
we would have to carry only 625, 900
loads of 200 pounds, which at the same
cost of 80 cents would represent only
s31e,5oo of expenditure, making a saw
ing in favor of good roads of S125 per

THE BUTTER FLAVOR.
Prof Conn Improves 1t by n Simple sys-

tenn of Inoculation.
Prof. 81. G. Conn has been doing work
for which dairymen should be crate
full. During the past two years he has
been experimenting in the discovery
and cultivation of the proper bacteria
for improving the flavor of butter, and
in the production of creamery butter.
Prof. Conn has succeeded in discover
ing the particular bacillus of which he
went in search, and which he has
christened Bacillus No. IA" This
useful member of the numerous bac-
terrain family does surprising things in
the way of ripening cream in the but
ter making. Six to eight quarts Of
cream were put into metal vessel and
"pasteurized." The cream was then
heated to 15S degrees Fair, and left
for ten minutes. The vessel was re-
moved and cooled quickly by means Of
cold water, and when the temperature
had dropped to so degrees the bacilli
were poured in and the mixture stirred
thoroughly. The vessel was then COW
cred and put into the ripening room.
After couple of days the cream was
churned, and the buttermilk remain
ing was set aside for future use The
six quarts were ripened for the purpose
of increasing the number of bacteria,
and securing strong culture for use
in the large cream vat of the creamery.
The buttermilk was then inoculated
into the days cream supply, and this
cream allowed to ripen in regular time,
at warm temperature, and churned
as usual. Before churning a quantity
was set aside to use for incubation in
the next days supply, and in this man
ner continued indefinitely. The first
six quarts of cream produced mod
erately good butter, but not quite the
flavor wanted. The first large churn-
ing was an improvement. A delicate
flavor also developed, which seemed to
deteriorate after two or three weeks.
This deterioration was remedied by q
fresh incubation from the laboratory.
The results attained have been so sat-
isfactory that Prof. Conn intends to
introduce this incubation process. in
all the large creameries in the United
States within the next year.
