Turnip Flavor May BE Got Rid Of.

Although it is usually not desirable
that turnips should be fed to milking
COWS, when they are fed the odor and
flavor may be prevented from appearing
in the butter.
In trial which was made from the
milk Of COWS which were icing fed the
excessive quantity Of 90 pounds Of tur-
nips Per head per day the odor and fla
vor Of turnips wero not perceptible III the
butter, which was made after the fol-
lowing treatment was given to the
cream:
The cream was heated at $50 degrees
F. and stirred at that temperature for
ten minutes while it was still sweet. 1t
was afterward cooled, ripened and
churned in tho usual way. A portion of
tie cream from the milk Of the Same
COWS was ripened and churned in the
usual way without being heated above
IS degrees j.
The butter obtained from the cream
which was not heated above G8 degrees
It. had distinct odor and flavor Of tur-
nips, while the butter obtained from
the cream which was heated to $50 de-
grees T. was excellent in odor, flavor
and grain and was without any percep-
tible odor or flavor Of turnips.
From the cream heated to 100 de-
grees Z. before being ripened for churn
ing eight-tenths of one pound less of
milk was required to yield each pound
OF butter than from the cream from &
portion of the same milk which was not
heated above 68 degrees f.
It has not been found advantageous to
thin the cream by adding quantity of
water to it before it is churned, or be
fore it is ripened. Quantities of water
were added to cream at the different
rates of 10, 20, % and 80 per cent of
water added, and the conclusions were,
first, the churning was slightly less eff
ficient in the recovery of the butter fat;
second, the quantity of marketable but
ter obtained Der 100 pounds of milk
was an ounce less; third the butter was
not so firm or solid in the grain, and,
fourth, the churning period at an equal
temperature was longer by from q min
ute to 80 seconds, when water was add
ed to the cream than when cream was
churned without the addition Of water.

WARNING WATER FOR COWS.

water. Horses like water with the chill
taken off quite as we'll as COWS do. So
do hogs, for that matter. When their
drinking water is warmed COWS will
consume much more Of it than they will
when it is freezing cold, and this is enc
reason why they give more milk.
A number of devices have been put
on the market for warming drinking
water for animals. The pattern shown
in tho illustration is perhaps as satisfac-
tory as any.
The water is heated by iron pipes run
ming through it. An oil lamp does the
heating, and pint of oil day is about
what is ordinarily required. This warns
the water twice a day. From so to 70
degrees is about the temperature that
the COW likes best. Different sizes of the
heating apparatus are made, SO as to
warm tanks holding anywhere from rs
to 800 gallons.

WARM DRINK FOR COWS.

Apparatus For Heating Watering Trou-iis
In Cold Weather.
Some dairymen go SO far as to say
that COWS give one-quarter more milk
when they have warm water to drink in
winter. Ice water for cattle is no better
with the therm ometer at zero than it
would be for people. The force that
should go to the secreting of milk in the
cows udder must be used to heat the ice

Mascot is a colloquial word not
found in most dictionaries, land on this
account often becomes a subject of
discussion among those who like to
use words intelligently. Such dis
cussion took place one day recently
between a group of live business men
round the corner from our office, and
we promised to consult authorities at
our command. That up to date and
greatest of all modern dictionaries,
"The Standard" published by Funk
& Wagnalls, New York, gives this
definition:
Something that is regarded as
bringing good luck to the possessor;
person or animal thought to afford
good luck by its presence; as, the
club left their mascot at home and
lost the game.'" In the Prussian
language the word stands for witch
craft.
The opposite of the word mascot is
hoodoo (also written voodoo), which
the same authority defines as ga cause
of bad luck; person whose presence
brings bad luck. ''-Ecchdnqe.

GOLD.

Probably the gold that was employ
ed in decorating Solomon's temple is
in large part doing duty at the pres
ent time somewhere among men.
With the enormous increase of COM
merce, home and foreign, in modern
times other influences came in which
accelerated the gold-cheapening pro-
cess. One of these was the introduce
ton of labor saving devices, which
greatly increased the productivity,
and hence the value of labor. AS gold
was cumulative, and not dependent
upon the labor of immediate produc-
ton, other lines of labor shot ahead
of it in productive value. But much
the greatest influences in cheapening
gold were the labor saving devices of
finance, which by far exceeded any
thing possible in mechanical invention.
Gold is worth less than third-be
tween that and a fifth-of what it was
worth in Queen Elizabeth's time.
There were counterbalancing causes
which prevented it's decline in pro-
portion to it's real and its practical in
crease. A shekel of gold will now do
as much commercial work as one
hundred shekels could do in Solomon's
time, though it has not declined in
specific value in nearly that proper
ton. Financial devices have given it
almost incredible celebrity in practical
movement. Artaxerxes owed Egypt
hundred shekels in gold. He loaded
it on camels, and sent small army to
guard it; and the caravan wendell it's
way, occupying month in reaching
from the Euphrates to the Nile. But
now Chicago owes London the humid
red shekels, and it is cabled into the
London bank in four minutes. Lon
don owes it to Amsterdam, and the
gold plunges beneath the North Sea
and rises in the Dutch city, while you
are winking twice. Amsterdam owes
it to Paris, and with fash it is there,
Paris owes it to Chicago, and back it
is again where it started from, ready
to be flashed to Calcutta or Toxic.
Thus working one hundred times as
fast, our telegraphic shekel is equal
to one hundred of ArtaXerXes, leaving
ninety nine pieces for other employ
ment, and practically increasing the
supply in proportion to demand to
that degree.-The Interior.

A GIRLS INFATUATION.
A Norris Young Lady Elopes With a
Married Man.

Clinton Democrat.
The community of Norris has been
in state of quiet excitement for
several days over the e!opement of
Miss Stella Anderson with Frank
Bailey, married man.
Bailey is a brother of William
Bailey, who carries the mail between
Clinton and Norris, and who, be it
said to his credit, has endeavored in
every way to Illustrate Franks plan,
and once succeeded. Miss Anderson
is the eldest daughter of Joseph
Anderson, a prominent farmer living
one mile north Of Norris. She be.
came infatuated with Bailey, and
although she knew he had a wife
living in the East, made up her mind
to elope with him.
Saturday Frank Bailey and Miss
Anderson came to Clinton to get
married, and Bailey left the young
woman at the Planters House whlle
he went up town, protesting he
would get license. His brother,
the mail carrier, determined to frus
trate the rascally plan, and securing
the assistance of Deputy Sheriff
Galloway, he gave Frank such a
talking to that he weakened and
agreed to take Miss Anderson home.
Then they approached the latter,
who was at first defiant, and said
she would go with Frank even if lie
was married, and finally consented
to go Eome. William Bailey went
along to see that they did not at.
tempt to elope again.
Later information from Norris is
that Bailey and Miss Anderson have
disappeared and there is no doubt
they have gone together. They
have not been seen in Clinton, and
it is thought they have gone to
Texas or the Indian Territory.
Mrs Amelia Darwin, wife of Louis
Darwin, died at her home near Black
River Falls, Wisconsin, on the 18th.
inst, at the age of 1O1 years. Her
husband, now 107 years old, still
survives, though in very feeble
condition. They were beyond a
doubt, the oldest living couple in
Wisconsin, if not in the United
States and had been married nearly
eighty years. They had family of
twelve children, FIVE still living whose
ages range from 81 to 20 years.

A War Story.
As told by General John B. Gordon.


last. Gen. John B Gordon told anew
this incident of his experience in the
battle of Gettysburg:
..As rode over the CORY field I
found major general of the union
army lying as if lifeless, with the
broiling sun shining upon his face.
I had seen him fall, and as l rode
by / dismounted from my horse and
gave him water A bullet had struck
his spinal column and had paralyzed
him. [ did not suppose he could
last an hour, ordered litter to have
him carried to the rear. As [ stoop-
ed down beside him he bade me take
from his side pocket some letters,
which found were from his wife. As
his eyes, strained with suffering,rest-
ed for the last time, as he supposed,
on the beloved signature he SAID:
General, if you live through this
war and meet my wife, Mrs. Francis
G. Barlow, remember to tell her that
you saw me. Tell her that you saw
me fall and that I fell fighting at the
front. Tell her 1 freely gave my life
for my country, but that my unutter
able grief is that 1 must go with
out looking into her sweet face
where is she now? I asked. VERY
near me- he said. She is with Gen
Meade's forces And as he spoke
was touched by peculiar sympathy,
for she who bears tie sweet re
lation of wife shared with me the
dangers and the privations of tha
camp, lowering like an angel of pro
lection and inspiration to duty. I re-
piled that if I lived through the con
t1ict I would notify his wife in ac-
cordance with the request At the
instant the battle ceased 1 sent a
note to the wife, not telling her that
he was dead, as I believed, but that
he was desperately wounded and a
prisoner in my hands. told her she
could have safe escort through my
lines to see and attend to her hus.
band. And she soon arrived. Early
next morning the battle was renew
ed, and then in that hasty retreat, I
thought no more of the gallant Bar
low.
The war progressed and ended,
and strangely enough Barlow recov-
cred. He saw in the newspapers
that confederate Gen. B. Gordon,
bearing my own name and initials,
and was a cousin of mine, had been
killed, and so he thought I was dead.
Fifteen years later. I was invited
one evening to take dinner at the
house of a friend in Washington, and
was informed that would meet Gen.
Barlow. The fact did not impress
itself upon my mind, for was no,
Gen. Barlow dead. Had not left
him dying in his blood stained bed
of clover? Gen. Barlow had simi
lar reflection about Gen. Gordon. Al
We were sitting at the table I ..asked
Gen. Barlow:
care you related to Gen. Barlow
who was killed at Gettysburg''
Il am the man, he said, and turn
ing to me asked:
Are you related to Gen. Gordon
who killed me?'
1 am the man, I said. The
scene which followed beggars de
scription. Truth indeed, is strang
er than fiction. But it is not strange
that the friendship born in The
midst of battle is more sacred be
cause of the circumstances.
