AFTER THE BEER MAKERS.
Congressman H. A. Cooper Fights the
Adulteration of the Beverage.

The bill introduced by Representa-
tive II. A. Cooper relating to adulter-
ated beer is even more stringent than
it was at first supposed to be. 1t pro-
vides for the taxation and regulation OF
the manufacture, sale, importation and
expectation of adulterated beer; defines
pure beer to be the fermented product
of barley malt, hops and water, and
classes as adulterated beer that prod
uct made even of the foregoing arti
cles, but with additions of rice, wheat
corn, grape sugar, etc. 1t fixes the tax
upon manufacturers of adulterated beer
at $1,000 a year, in addition to the
present tax upon manufacturers of
beer; the wholesalers tax is 81, 900 adj
ditional, and the retailers $3.50 addi-
tional. The fines for non-o observance
of the act range from $500 to So, 900 in
various instances. The adulterated
beer is to be specially branded, each
key to have the brand Adulterated
Beer" burned in, and each package is
to be SO labelled. A tax of So barrel
is placed upon the adulterated beer, in
addition to the tax now imposed, and a
special stamp in bright red color is to
be placed upon each package. In every
place where the adulterated beer is
sold there shall be posted sign i'll
English and German, Adulterated
Beer Sold Here" A provision is made
for the chemists of the internal revenue
department having access to the brew
cries and places where the beer is sold
for the purpose of testing the product,
and the commissioner of internal rev.
enue directed to publish from time to
time lists of firms manufacturing and
selling adulterated beer. The bill has
been sent to the committee on ways
and means.

An investigation by Racine citi-
zens of our brick paving has convinced
them that they do not want any other
kind. In the report of the investi-
eating committee made to a mass
meeting of the citizens occurs this
passage: Your committee is unani-
mously opposed to paving College ave-
nue. with cedar blocks. The city en-
gineer Of Milwaukee stated that the
life of cedar block pavement in large
cities, is from five to seven years. A
block pavement commences to decay
as soon as constructed. Already the
block pavement on State street begins
to show the ravages of time. A block
pavement is very unsanitary in its
effects. The above named engineer
stated that the board of. health and
medical authorities at Chicago claimed
that they had traced seven or eight
cases of diphtheria directly to the
putrefying and filthy condition of cedar
block pavement. This report exact
" comedies with the ideas of the citi-
zens of Kenosha who took the trouble
to investigate into the kind of pave
ment this city should have. For pure
~ residence streets asphalt is undoubt-
eddy the cleanest, smoothest and most
sanitary. Next to that and best for all
other streets, comes brick, the best
pavement on earth.

WIDE-AWAKE FARMERS.

Michigan Fruit Growers Use the Te1e-
phone to Great Advantage.
Farmers are generally looked upon
as slow thinkers, but there can hardly
be better piece of testimony as to the
intelligence of the agricultural COM
munities of this country than the fact
that they are largely adopting the tel
ephone, not only for communication
with adjacent or distant villages and
between themselves, but for receiving
weather warnings and keeping in touch
with the markets. In Michigan, for
instance, in the center of the great
peach growing district, telephone
company has been organized by the
farmers, and 40 miles of wire is now in
operation, with Is stations. The fruit
growers find the service of immense
value. Formerly, if the state of the
market had to be ascertained, for the
guidance of shippers, the fruit grower
had to harness up, and ride into Hart,
the central town, many miles away.
Now, the farmer goes to his telephone,
and in a few minutes knows what
prices are ruling. In fact, much of the
business which heretofore has required
a trip to town is now transacted over
the wire. The cost of the installation
is said to have been small, and the sys-
tenn is to be extended within the next
few mont!ls.-St. Louis Globe Demo-

market value, as it does in the above
estimates because he has already re-
ceived his profits on his crops in the
1917 cents per pound for butter. This
explains why the dairy farmer. if he UNI
derstands his business, is more prosper
GUS than his neighbor who sells his hay
and grain instead of feeding it to good
cows right at home. Do you ever stop
to think that some farmers are selling
their very farm load by load, in haul
ing their ops to market every year
and putting nothing back on their
farm? The basic principles of dairy
farming, and more especially butter
making, are correct, for it consumes
the products of the farm and returns
the manurial elements to the soil after
the marketable dairy products have
been taken out. A ION of gilt-edge but
ter does not contain over so cents in
value in fertiliziog elements. Dairy
farming is founded on rock, and the
farmer who has energy and knowledge
enough to get good herd of cows and
keep them as they should be kept, will
surely be successful, and he will leave
to future generations soil that is ca
,pable of feeding the human race at
profit.-Hoard's Dairyman.

When the Use of Insecticides Is Injurious
to Vegetation.
We are asked if arsenic falling from
sprayed trees is not injurious TO vege-
tation. With the action of the rains and
the falling of the leaves most of the
arsenic which is applied to trees finally
reaches the soil. What then becomes
of it? If lime has been used with the
spray, the arsenic will be insoluble
when it falls upon the soil. 1t is posi-
ble that the organic acids in the soil.

Ell periments Prove Dairy Farming to Be
Founded on a Rock.
In the dairy contest at the worlds
fair butter was male at a cost of about
1917 cents per pound. The Minnesota
experiment station has since made it
at cost of 10 cents per pound. Many
leading dairymen figure The cost at
about IL to 13 cents. This includes The
cost of feed at the market price, but
also the cost of labor, interest on the in
vestment, etc. You hear dairymen talk
on every hand when the price of cream
cry butter gets below 20 cents per
pound that there is no money in the
creamery, for when the four cents per
pound for making is deducted it brings
the price received nearly or quite down

PACKING BUTTER.
A Method by Which the Delicate Flavor
May Be Preserved.

A Method by Which the Delicate Flavor
May Be Preserved.
Good butter may be safely packed to
keep six months or more if the right
way is taken. 1t used to be done years
ago, when it was the custom to keep the
surplus product for sale then, there
being no winter dairying to supply tn"
demand. The butter must be naturally
good and sweet and worried quite free
from the buttermill< by thorough wash
ing. There need be no fear that this
will hurt the butter for il cannot talk"
anything from It, the fat being wholly
insoluble in water, and only the but
termilk will be washed ort of 1T, which
it must be, or it will be detriment to
the butter, as producing changes of the
fat into volatile acids by which the but
ter is made strong and finally rancid.
The best packages for this use are
glazed earthen , jars or sweet, clean
white oak or spruce tubs, painted o"
vanished on the outside. The tubs
are soaked in brine, then scalded, then
washed in two or three waters, then
rubbed with fine salt inside, and while
wet the butter is packed N them, being
firmly pressed down so as to leave no
vacancies in the mass.
When the package is filled to within
half an inch of the top, a clean cloth,
or, better, some parchment paper, ie
fitted closely over the butter and half
an inch up the edge of the package
Fine dry salt is then put in smoothly to
the top, then a dry cloth, well washed,
is tied down firmly, then parchment
paper and then one more cloth. The air
is thus excluded, and the butter will be
as good or "a little better than when it
was packed, as it undergoes a ripening
process by which the fine flavor of the
best butter is developed.-N. Y. World.

1t Acts as q Laxative and Is Tempting to
the Appetite.
Bran stands decidedly foremost as
the food most generally in use for the
invalid horse; it acts as laxative, is
frequently tempting to the appetite
and easy of digestion. There is no part
of the general treatment more universal
than offering this substance as change
of food. Does the horse show slight
symptoms of cold or fever, warm
bran mash is a convenient plan of steam
ing and consequently of soothing the IT,
ritable mucous membranes of the air
passages; it is a substitute for the more
stimulating diet he is accustomed to
and gently promotes the activity of the
digestive apparatus; it is also a oonven-
lent medium for the giving of certain
simple remedies. When it is necessary
to administer purgative medicine, a
bran mash or two renders the bowels
more susceptible of it's action, and
smaller drug is therefore required to
produce the desired effect. Bran mashes
may be given hot or cold-cold are per-
haps quite as grateful to the horse
but the nibbling of hot mash in ca
tarrhal affections is particularly bene-
fetal from the necessary inhalation of
the steam.-Farm and Home.
