HOW TO REMOVE RANK FLAVOR.

HOW TO REMOVE RANK FLAVOR.
In reply to the question, How can
| remove rank grass taste from mix
and butter" the Dairy Editor OF the
Prairie Farmer gives the following ilt
of experience, which may be helpiui
to some of our readers who have pas
lures that are full of weeds lie says;
Il am spending a few weeks III Iowa.
and studying. as usual dairy problems.
Here in Woodbury. County is located

in the creamery business. They nave

eating and trying to get rid OF the dlsa-
grecablc flavor caused by the COWS
eating weeds. The milk from many oil
the patrons whose cows were pas
tured on the bottom lands had such n
disagrccahlo flavor that the butter
could hardly be eaten. Last year they
tried pastcurizing the milk. but this
did not entirely remove the trouble,
They have continued their experiments
this season. and have, as they think,
succeeded in discovering method OF
entirely removing these Objectionable
favors from the butter.
The milk. as it is received at the rae
tory, is carefully examined. ana any
that is wccdy or strong favored is set
aside and run through the separator
by itself. After separation they ADD
to the cream two gallons of water to
one of cream, and in this water has
been dissolved Saltpetrc in the proper
ton of Il teaSpoOnful to three gallons.
The water is hot, and in this way they
raise the temperature of the cream to
100 degrees They Immediately run the
diluted cream through the separator,
same as if it was whole milk. They
now have cream without the least
particle of Weedy flavor in it. The
cream is then cooled, turned in with
the rest, and all ripcncd together. The
result was perfect butter, without
any disa greeablc favor
Commenting on the above, the editor
of the Elgin Dairy Report says; Here
is an opportunity that will enable our
practical creamery men to make the
same experiments for themselves when
they find they have this same trouble,
which occurs more or less every year
when cattle feed on rank grass and
weeds. We give this for the benefit of
our readers of that class, and will say
that it certainly will do no harm to try
it. even if it acconplishes no good.
"One of our crcamcrymen in south
ern Illinois had the same trouble, and
asked our advice on this matter The
plan we proposed was for him to heat
the milk to 100 or $50 degrees before
running it through the separator. and
diluting i. with about one-quarter
water at the same time. He did this
and found the result was good. Very
little. if any. of the bad flavor re-
manned The cream was cooled imme-
diately. ard ripened by means of
"The principle practically is the
same as the one used by the Goodrich
Brothers. If any creamerymen are
troubled that way. we would advise
them to undertake one or the other of
the plans ami see if it will work well

The necessity, or the apparent neces'

duce a strange habit of thought. II
we find it difficult to get bread, we nat.
urally look askance at whatever standf
in our way. Edward Hoare tells In his
Autobiography" Of going down to
Ramsgate, where he became greatly In
terested in the English boatmen, two
hundred of whom were entirely de-
pendent on the chance Of helping ships
in distress off the Goodwin Sands. Sc
poor were they, that it had become with
some of them a habit of life to think
more of their earnings than of the hu.
man, beings they saved.
One bitterly cold morning, Mr.. Hoare
met an old boatman of his acquaint'
ance, and said to him, after passing
the greetings of the day.
"And how are you getting on?'
"Ah." said the man, now that they've
got their lights and buoys and chain
cables. there's nothing left for an hon
est man to do"
what do you mean?"
"Well, here's a case. There we were
Mt the south end of the sands about

came one of those foreign chaps, and
was running as pretty upon the Good

when. all of a sudden, he saw one of

No one would guess from his tone of
disgust that he had spent the best eff
forts of his life in trying to save from
disaster the vessels for which he SEEM

The ChiId's Natural Method of Ac-

On the other hand, many OF his
questions cannot be connected with
his reading, but appear to result
from reasoning or a recognized
analogy. How do plants make
themselves bigger when they grow?"
he asked when we were talking
about planting his garden. I heard
him saying to himself: "Wildless,
wildless." asked him what he was
talking about, and he replied:
about plants that are not wild.
What are they called2" Garden or
cultivated plants, answered.
What made you say wildless"
"Why," said he, II knew that harm
less meant something that wouldn't
do any harm, and so wildless means
plants that are not wild" He
mentioned the fall, and l asked him
what he meant by fall. He replied;
The winter at first, the first of it.
Do they oall it fall because every
thing is falNng?7 There was some
talk about dressing him or putting
on his dress, and, reasoning from
analogy, he asked: when God
puts the skin on people, is that
skinning them2" I once read of the
people In the moon being like grass
hoppers, and told him about it
When ! had finished the story, he
said: when we look up in the sky
we see the moon rolling on above US,
and when the people in the moon
look up in the sky they see the earth
rolling along above them. What is
the strange puzzle about that?" I
told him that his specimen of mica
was silioate Of potash, and he asked:
why Is mica silicate of potash2
Because they put ashes in pot2

corded 10 represent an innumerable

LARGEST GRAPE VINE
CALIFORNIA; viticuItural Curiosity
Trunk Eight Feet Through.

Trunk Eight Feet Through.
In the rich valley of Carpenteria,
in the most picturesque part Of
beautiful Santa Barbara county, is a
viticultural curiosity, a'rlost a
monstrosity. It's locasiol Is com
paratively secluded, anu wi ii the
exception of the residents of the vi
entity, few know of the location of a
mammoth grape vine, the largest in
the world.
The massive trunk of the vine is
seven feet eight inches in circumfer-
ence its size and appearance sug-
costing an oak rather than a grape
vine. It's branches rest on a stall
wart frame, covering a space one
third of an acre in extent. 1t grows
rapidly, and would undoubtedly at
tain even greater dimensions were
1t not that the owner, having
reached the limit of the space he
has reserved for his giant vine, and
being unwilling to concede it more
room, cuts it back every year.
The frame over which the vine Is
spread is strongly built, as is re-
quired to support the tremendous
weight of grapes annually yielded
by the vine. Sixty stout posts,
with heavy cross beams, form the
foundation for the grape-laden
branches. The vine is of the Mission
variety, and is so prolific that In
1893 1t bore eight tons Of grapes,
and last year the owner took ten
tons from the vine, in addition to as
many clusters as the neighbors
cared to carry away.
This Carpenteria vine is much
larger than the celebrated grape
bearer of Hampton Court, England,
which has been regarded as one Of
the horticultural wonders of the
world, and by many claimed to be
the largest in existence. In 1877 a
grapevine from Montecito, Santa
Barbara county, was then admitted
ly the largest in the world. 1t was
removed in sections and set up in
the Centennial exposition of Phila-
delphia, where it attracted much at
tentf6n. The Carpenteria vine is
now one third larger than was the
Montecito product when exhibited.

MILLAIS
Where the Great Artist Was at His
Best.

When Emerson called Rossetti ex-
otto, he put his finger upon one OF
the many traits which separate him
from Millais. Not only was Rossetti
Of Italian blood, but he moved in an
inner world of his own, profoundly
self-reliant as only man of genius
can be. Millais, however, moved,
even in his pre- aphaelite days, in
the outer, natural world, and was,
on the contrary, infinitely impress
sionable. Millais, who painted like
Van Eyck, and who afterwards
came to paint like Velasquez; Mil
lais, who appealed to the esoteric
taste Of Mr.. Ruskin and who after
wards appealed to the general pub
lie, presents a very vexed problem
to the critic who is less insular in
! his tastes than that writer and more
,sastidious than the world at large.
a Millais at his best, perhaps, is

Music in the SO Campaign.

) 1t is surprising how little there
was Of music in the presidential
campaign of SO, when Buchanan
was elected over Fremont and Day
ton and Willard Fillmore. OF the
three songs for Fremont one was
written to the "Marseillaise," and
was quite a pretentious effort, the
chorus closing with this line: Free
Speech, Free Press, Free Soil, Free
Men, Fremont and Victory" An
other was set to Aud Lang Syne,"
and another to the tune of Dandy
Jim of Caroline" with the line:
free Speech, Free Kansas and
Fremont" The democrats were
satisfied with some cheap verses set
to "Wait for the Wagon" and a
song, making direct bid for the
Irish vote, to the tune of Mora

THE BLACK COAT.
English Tailors Fear That is Doom
Has Been Fixed.

Has Been Fixed.
1t would appear from one of their
trade organs that tailors are becom-
ing a little anxious about the pros
poets Of the black coat of civiliza-
tion They fear that it is in danger
Of being Superseded by a garment of
Lighter fhuAif not of a variegated
pattern. Perhaps, if they were 10
give voice to the deeper apprehen-
sions, they would say that there was
more at stake than the black coat.
There can, at any rate, be little
doubt, whether the tailors are will
ing to admit it or not, that with the
fate Of the black coat is bound up
that of the black waistcoat.
Whether the two have been lovely
and pleasant in their lives is a mat
ter of opinion; but we feel sure that
in death they would not be divided
We mean no disrespect to
the vest in describing it as para
site of the coat. 1t is humble
dependent which has only found it's
way into society under the wing OF
it's influential patron, to whom it
adheres with single breasted fidel-
ity rewarded ON the other side by
an attachment which is rarely
broken save for q short period dur
ing the summer mouths.
The trousers, it is true, are con-
nected with Ethe two upper gar
ments by no such feudal tie; but
their own union is complete, and,
except in very hot weather, ind!s-
soluble. Hence the more far
sighted tailors no doubt perceive
clearly enough that if the black coat
goes we shall be within measurable
distance of the tweed suit " Nor
are there wanting those who would
do their best to accelerate the cata-
strophe.
Animated by the restless spirit Of
the age, it's impatience of sobriety
and it's thirst for change and color
in costume as in life, there is a
school of so-oalled reformers who are
endeavoring to urge the wearers OF
black coats to revolt. Let them
give free play, exclaim these anar-
chistic counselors, to their taste
in checks and stripes" and they
will be able TO cut a far more pic
turesque figure at far smaller an
nual outlay. With the outlay, Of
course, the public is not concerned,
though that matter, doubtless, is
not without it's interest for the
tailors; but we own to some uneasi-
ness at the idee cf the entire com.
munity indulging its multifarious
taste in checks and stripes in a
headlong pursuit of the picturesque.
We have all of US, indeed, seen
the experiment tried under very IA
vorable circumstances, but with
more than dubious results, by those
little bands of vocal and instru-
mental artists, generally six or
eight in number, who are usually to
be met with at race meetings or on
the sands Of popular seaside resorts
at this time of the year. These
pioneers of dress reform have en-
trely discarded the black coat, pre-
ferring one Of a 9ayer color, with
noticeably elongated tails, and the
freedom with which they indulge
their taste In checks andstrpes may
almost b said to border upon IL
cense: Yet the effect, even with
D the SoutaOs OF an open shirt collar
OF ElizaoesSan proportions, oorked
face ana banjo, cannot be de-
. scrioeo as @tirely picturesque
