BUTTER FROM H E

The officials from the agricultural de
partment are satisfied with the general
results of the experiments made at
Cornell University, which have shown
the possibility of making butter from
the whey left after the manufacture of
cheese. The only other question to be
determined is whether butter can be
made in such quantities as to pay. 1t
is said to be good butter, qualified
judges being unable to detect it from
that made from pure milk.
The department leaves it to the man
u~facturers of cheese to show whether
butter can be thus made in quantities
sufficient to pay for the labor expended
upon it. In this connection the follow
ing figures from the annual report of
the Commissioner of Agriculture of
New York, the greet cheese making
State, will go far toward answering
this question:
There was made in that State in 1892
$50, 99I, 80 pounds Of cheese. There
the eight and one-half pounds of whey
for each pound of cheese, making a
total of lib, 1926 1876 pounds of whey.
The average of fat left in the whey is
about SO 100 of one per cent, ZhiGhs
reduced to pounds of fat, eG1iaIs 4 342,
S02. Butter onfFaaIInn only about IS per
cenS oI TAT, ~ these figures show that
d whey Chus lost is capable of yield
Ang4, ne. 598pounds of butter, which at
20 cents a pound would be worth 1895.
313. The Farmers Voice is inclined to
think that time can be much better
employed than in attempting to make
butter from whey, as promising as
these figures SEEM.

HOW WILD TURKEYS FORAGE.

A writer thus describes a troop or
wild turkey S on a marsh in Missouri:
He said they started out in the morn,
ing like a regiment of soldiers, taking
the fields and woods and everything
that came before them, each turkey
marching perhaps 10 feet from It's
neighbor. They went away every
morning and usually came in an hour
before shutdown. keeping up the same
line of march in all their raids. About
an hour before shutdown they emerged
from the woods, in a long line, ell
abreast. AS they went over the pas
ture lot, every cricket, grassaopper,
bug and worm was pretty sure to be
detected by their keen, sharp eyes, and
you could see them do their work as
they moved forward. OF course they
got into the corn fields some, but it is
generally considered that they do
enough good in their march to atone
for the corn they take, for orn is
cheap down in Missouri.

DOMESTIC SUGGESTIONS.

PRESERVED GRAPES "A delicious pre-
serve can be made of California grapes.
Cut each grape open with a knife and
extract the seeds; add sugar to the
fruit, pound for pound; cook slowly
for half an hour or longer until the
syrup and pulp of the grape are per-
fectly clear and transparent.
TOMATO MARMALADE Pare and slice
without wet'ing four pounds of unripe
tomatoes; give them a slow b, il for
several hours until a large portion of
the water has ~evaporated add for each
pound of tomatoes three quarters of a
pound of sugar and two sliced lemons.
Boil for n hour longer.
Branded PEACHES u the peaches
in boiling water for a few minutes,
when the skin will peel off easily.
Make a syrup of half a pound of sugar
and half a teacup of wate for each
pound of peaches, Skim as the scum
rises in boiling, then put in the peaches
and boil them gently until tender-no
longer. Take them out carefully and
fill your cans or jars Remove the
syrup from the fire, and add to it half
a plot of best brandy to every pound
of peaches.

THE DAIRY.
CoCoANUr BUTTER.

1t has been announced that butter
was to have a competitor in cocoanut
butter. The Dairy World notes that
Assistant Dairy Commissioner Ora
ham, of Minnesota, says that the Co
coanut butter is all bosh, from the fact
that it cannot in any way compete with
oleo to say nothing of butter" 1T is
snow white" he continues, has no
butter flavor, nothing similar to butter,
and costs more than cleo; it makes a
good filler for cheese, but is rather too
expensive for that and besides the days
OF filed cheese and substitutes colored
to represent butter are numbered, and
they will soo9be things Of the past"
1t is to be hoped that such new com
petition has no threatening or formid-
able features, but if it can be made as
stated by Chicago parties interested in
the cocoanut process for a trife over
five cents i5 would seem that its AMI
facture is cheaper than cleo, which is
represented to cost seven cents a pound
before it gets into this market. How
ever, figures of this kind are not gen
orally given publicity by the close cor
porations enjoying arich manufacture,
and the expense may be really greater
than here given. But the fact that
cocoanut butter is snow white, ETC.,
ought to operate against its sale unless
literally incorporated with pure but
ter, and the laws that govern the sale
of oleo ought to be able to reach this
new substitute.

In one pear orchard in a neighbor-
hood where nearly all pear blossoms
were killed in spring frosts there is this
year a full setting of fruit The trees
are only ID feet apart, and their foliage
covers all the surface of the ground, as
the branches are interlocked on every
side. This mutual protection and the
confined warm air under the tree saved
most of the blossoms from injury and
there will be a full crop.

these times are too serious to be trifed

these times are too serious to be trlhed
with.
But if it is a fact that all the good
benefits and grand rf sults spoken OF IN
said article could and would be brought
about by raising said sum OF money,
bv all means let us go at it in earnest.
With the true Alliance spirit it can be
done. But it never will be done if men
who are worth from 81, 900 to $4,000
are unwilling to pay any mor than
their poor brother pays, who has to
work for forty or fifty cents a day.
But while we have many that are not
able to pay twenty-fv cents, there are
others that could pay from 800 to $500,
and when we get fully into the Alliance
spirit, SO that each and every one is
willing to pay according to their sew
eral ability, we can and will build all
the factories we need, and the enemies
lines will be completely stampeded. I
will pay as much as anyone, according
to my worth. How many will do like
wise GEO. E HUNT.

A Nh. Brown, of Nebraska, after
careful experiment, says that his 12O
acre corn field on which no ears formed
last year, having been cut up green,
shocked, made fine and fed to fatten-
ing steers without any grain ration,
netted him 81, 700, Or more than $14 an
acre. Practical men do not hesitate to
say that two ffths of the feeding value
of corn is in the fodder.

FAvoRlTE TURKISH DISHES.


Bread That Tastes Like Blotting Paper AMI
MsS he Worn Like a Cloak.
| Messrs Allen and Sachtleben, the two
young American students who made /
tour around the world on bicycles, tel
many interesting stories of their expert
ences in Asia. In series of articles writ
ten for The Century they give the follow
Ing account Of the dishes that were set DO
fore them in Turkey:
AS all cooking and eating had stopped
ut the sound Of the morning cannon, we
found great difficulty in gathering togethe,
even a cold breakfast of ekmek, yaourl
and raisins. Ekmek is cooked bran floul
paste, which has the thinness, consisten.
cy and almost the taste Of blotting paper.
This Is the Turkish peasants staff Of life.
He carries 1t with him everywhere; SO did
we. As 1t was made in hugo circular
sheets, wewould often punch hole In the
middle and slip it up over our arms This
we found the handiest and most service
able mode of transportation being handy
TO cat without \removing our hands from
the handle bars, and also answering the
purpose OF sails in case of favoring wind
Yaourt, another almost universal food,
Is milk curdled with rennet. This as well
as all foods that are not liquid they scoop
up with roll Of ekmek, part of the scoop
being taken with every mouthful Raisins
here as well as in many other parts of the
country are very cheap. We paid 3 piasters
about cents-for an oche-2h pounds
but we soon made the discovery that a
Turkish oche contained a great many
stones, p" which, Of course, was purely &C
cidental. Eggs also we found exceedingly
cheap. On one occasion 25 were set before
us In response to our call for eggs to the
value OF piaster-4K cents
In Asiatic Turkey we had some extraor-
binary dishes served to us, including dain-
tily prepared leeches. But the worst mix
ture perhaps was the "Bairam SOUP"
which contains over dozen ingredients,
Including peas, prunes, walnuts, cherries,
dates, white and black beans, apricots,
cracked wheat, raisins, ETC., all mixed In
cold water. Bairam is the period of feast
ing after the Ramadan fast.

Of Summer school met in the Y. NJ.

morning. There was large at
tendance.
After the meeting was called to
order Prof. M. M. Scott was ap.

J. l.. Dumas moved that an ar
ticle in the Progre,si5e Educator of
January by H. S. Townsend de-
fining the courses of the Summer
school be first read. The mover
read the article. There were no
comments.
Prof. Scott said that before any
action be taken there should be
discussion about the feasibility and
possibility of a Normal School.
Honolulu is very warm place i'll
summer. After drilling and teach
ing for ten months in the year it is
simply handicap OH the energies
of the teachers. These facts should
be settled first. Mr.. Scott did moi
forget to bring up the subject o
cholera. Teachers should have
washstands in the schoolroom:
with towels and children should be
taught cleanliness. That was {
part of the teachers duties.
Osmer Abbott, of Lahainaluna
felt that this Summer School was :
necessity. Probably less than s.
per cent of the teachers were abb,
to pass first grade. He proposed
the organization of a Nationa
Teachers Association.
Messrs. Dumas, Smith and Rich
ards and Rev. Alex Mackintosl
made few remarks and the motion
was passed unanimously.
On motion of Mr.. Dumas a com
mittee consisting OF Messrs. Abbott

Needham and Malone was appoint
ed to draft rules aud regulations

A member of the English parliament,
Florence O'Drisooll, has lively paper
in The Century describing life and street
scenes in Canton. Mr. O'Drisooll says:
The food purveyors made o most
striking display; the fruiterers exposed
on fiat trays bananas, pineapples, mel
ons, figs, pears (the latter beautiful to
the sight, but hard and tasteless), to-
gether with many Chinese fruits, whose
shapes and tastes were familiar to me,
but whose names knew not. Some Of
these fruits were most artistically peel
ed, pineapple peeling being quite an art.
A great variety Of vegetables was offer
ed for sale. Among them were the white
shoots of the bamboo. which seemed to
be favorite article of diet. But to what
use indeed may not this wonderful grass
be put? From it Cinnamon make almost
everything onceivable-hats, cloaks,
sheets, carpets, roofs, buildings, baskets,
chairs, carrying poles, fishing tools; the
list might be prolonged ad infinitum.
And then they eat 1t as we'll.
Preserving ginger in many forms was
noticeable trade. The roots were
washed and left in water, as an English
cook treats potatoes before boiling them.
A number Of men and women holding
two pronged fork in each hand sat
around table with the tubs of peeled
ginger beside them. They picked ginger
roots out of the water, and laying them
ON the table pierced them all over very
rapidly with both forks until quite soft.
The pierced roots were then put into
another tub, where they were boiled in
strip. The ginger went through various
other minor processes until eventually
it was packed in the earthenware Jars
in which it is sold in European shops
The whole process was certainly clean
one, and the smell Of the aromatic root
in preparation was both grateful and
pleasant .
In the bakers shops saw nothing
corresponding to our European loaf.
Solid looking little yellow patties, slabs
Of f1abby brown cakes, emblematic Of
concentrated dyspepsia; scones or an
equivalent, apparently Of fried batter,
and great flakes of milk white, slippery
looking paste not above an eighth of an
inch thick-to be rolled up and deity
sliced with cleaver shaped tool into
long strings like macaroni. These foods
were to BIO seen everywhere in the city,
but nothing light and open. To my eyes
the breadstuffs seemed sad, solemn, sod
den and bilious.
