Yesterday about noon as J. c. Skelton and
his man were driving along Worley avenue in
the north part of the city, their horse became
scared at large Newfoundland dog which
jumped out and began to bark at it. Both
men jumped out and the driver in his endeav.

LIME N ALCOHOL.
The Two Latest Methods of Preservin,
Fruits and Vegetables.

The Two Latest Methods OF Preserving
Fruits and Vegetables.
Fruits and vegetables are preserved
in France by simply bedding them in
lime. The process has been tried sue
cessfully on oranges, cherries, grapes,
pears, apples, prunes, gooseberries,
onions, potatoes, tomatoes, sugar beets
and shelled chestnuts. The following
claims are made for this method: l..
The liEta does not in the least attack
the skin of the fruit even after pro-
1onged contact. 2. The fruit does not
dry any more in the lime than in the
air. 8. No change takes place in the
fruit other than such as is the natural
consequence of its evolution.
A still later method is that of pre-
serving fruits by means Of the vapor of
alcohol. This process, which has hith-
erto only been tried with grapes, is
extremely simple. According to the
inventor, another Frenchman, it can
be practiced anywhere, and needs no
special apparatus. In every place
where a uniform low temperature can
be assured, grapes can be stored in
closed compartments, adding alcohol
either in a jar, or even saturating with
1t the wooden framework which sup
ports the grapes. The cost of the alco-
hol, it appears, is very small.-N. Y.

loaded its front edge is raised to q
proper height by the same means. Te
dump the scraper the collars are
clutched, and the winch turned in the
opposite direction from that required
to lift the front.
The object of dividing the load into
three parts is that by operating each
scraper separately the machine can
easily be managed with two horses.
When the three parts are loaded the
machine will hold as much as can d-
dinarily be drawn on a wagon with
two horses. Thus one man and one
team can operate the machine. The
inventor declares that it requires less
than nj minute to either load or un-
load. The machine has been thorough

lently until a perfect emulsion is
formed. Dilute with nire to fifteen
parts of warm water and apply with
a spray pump. It will knock out all
lice on the first application but will
not kill the eggs. A second spraying
should be given in two or three weeks

STIRRING THE CREAM.
An Important Item In the Making
q Good Quality of Butter.

An Important Item In the Making of
a Good Quality of Butter.
One of the most important items in
the making of a good quality of but
ter is the proper and uniform ripening
of the al On the average farm
the cream for several milkings must be
put together in order to make a sufie
Gent quantity to churn together. 1t is
important that all of the cream be
ripened uniformly If all of the butter
is taken off the cream, hence no fresh
cream should be added to what is
already ripening for twelve hours be-
fore c%hurning. Every time fresh cream
is added the whole should be stirred
thoroughly together. A long wooden
paddle that will reach to the bottom of
the vessel should be used, and the STIR
ring should be given with a rather up
ward, lifting motion that will bring
the bottom cream to the top, rather
than a stirring motion that will start
the cream in a circular motion around
the vessel. The idea is to mix the old
and new thoroughly together. This
must be done every time fresh cream is
added. A thorough mixing of the
cream a uniform ~ripening, and
in churning all of the butter
at once, SO that none is lost in the but
termilk, as is often the case when no
particular a is taken on this point.
Cream should be thoroughly ripened,
but should not be allowed to become
sour. Slightly acid is the right condi-
ton, and the more fully this condition
is secured the easier will be the churn-
ing, the more thoroughly the butter
will all be taken out of the cream, and
the better the quality of the butter.
The management of the cream is the
essential item in the making of good
butter and it should be SKINNED off
while the milk is sweet, kept at an
ever temperature while ripening, and
ripened as uniformly as possible, and
then churned as soon as slightly acid.

Three scrapers Operated ssparatefy BY
One Man aud Two Horses.
Without doubt the best country roads
are made by the MatAdam process.
But the practice of scraping and haul
ing dirt on the highway is still SO COM
mon that there continues to be a de-
mand for machines that will perform
that work easily. One of the latest In
ycntions of this class consists of three
ordinary road scrapers, hung one ahead
ui smother in a frame. which is support
ed on four wheels, and which is arched
near the front end to let the
front wheels pass under in turning.
On both sides, near the front of each
scraper, there are Jugs, to whI Bare
attached chains that run up to a hori-
zontal shaft. BY rotating this shaft
with a winch one can raise or lower
the front edge Of the scraper. There
is another chain from the rear edge,
leading up to a loose collar on the
same shaft. When this collar clutches
a fixed one adjacent thereto, the rear
chain may also be wound or unwound
with the winch. Further support to
the rear end Of the scraper is af-
forded by a cross-bar, riveted there
to-, which rests on the side-pieces
of the main frame. In order to keep
the scraper from sliding backward
when its edge is depressed, SO as to
scoop up earth, there are adjustable
horizontal braces on each side of every
scraper that are pivoted to the frame.
The depth of cut is regulated by the
forward chains. When a scraper is
