Wheat as a Food for Horses.
An experiment was conducted at the
North Dakota Experiment Station to
test the value Of unground wheat as
a food for horses. It was found that
they We're much liable to get off their
food while wheat was being fed, and
the digestion was considerably de-
ranged. But when the horses We're
fed ground wheat and bran in the pro-
portions Of 2 and 1 parts respectively,
they did very we'll on the ration. This
knowledge is valuable in a wheat
growing country where wheat may sell
for a low price, cats at the same time
being Gear. It is seldom, however,
that the price of oats is dear when the
price of wheat is very low. So that
farmers will not in very many in7
stances find it to their advantage to
feed much wheat 1t remains also to
be demonstrated whether the ground
wheat and bran will keep the horses
as long as in good health as oats The
oat crop is a great standby in feeding
horses, and this fact should always
receive due recognition in all locaN-
ties where oats can be successfully
grown. So long as the bulk of the
grain feed is oats, other grain may
sometimes be added with advantage

sdigestible and Wholesome as butter,
This is not true, and in tile nature Of
things cannot be true. First as to It's
digestibility Butter melts in the hul
man stomach at 500 to $40 degrees,
and passes readily into pancreatic
emulsion and digestion. AS will be
seen, this is alta point below the nat.
ural heat Of the human body. There
is no gastric or nervous strain neces-
sary to expel it from the stomach, for
it is q substance designed by nature
for food in it's own unchanged state.
SOleomargarine lnelts at lO5 to 1OS.32
degrees. The heat of the human body
is not sufficient to emulsify it, and it
remains a dead, inert substance, and
causes severe nervous tension and q
forced gastric action to expel it from
the stomach. This fact alone viii
show that it is not as digestible as
butter. Besides, it is not as whole
some. Invariably butter advertises
its own condition. No man or woman
need be deceived thereby. Any adj
mixture Of deleterious elements is told
at once by a loss of flavor. 1t is COM
posed Of what are known as the basic
fats, stearine, aleine, palmatine and a
number of other delicate fiavoring oils,
all highly conducive to digestion.
Oleomargarine is composed of stear-
inc and palmatine mainly, and in
condition unfit for digestion. 1t is
rendered at q low temperature, not
above 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and any
man ought to know that this is not
enough to destroy any germ of dis
ease or infection which quite naturally
might come to it from it's Slaughter
house surroundings. We admonish
people to cook their ham and pork
most thoroughly to avoid the danger
of rrichina and other diseases. Such
cooking subjects the meat to from PIP
to $50 degrees of heat: yet we are
told that oleomargarine is wholesome,
coming from the same derivation and
rendered at temperature that little
more than warns it.-Hoard's Dairy

Practice Not Theory.

It is very easy for some writer's to
theorize and advise as to how butter
makers should do this, and how, they
should do that, and what will happen
if their ideas are not followed. All
this may be all right, but a good but
termaker with a practical knowledge
Of his business is worth a dozen. the.
oreical idealists.. Give us the man who
puts his knowledge into practice, and
practice makes perfect. If you find
an ideal buttermaker, you will find
practical hard worker and thinker
every time; one who gets his informal
ton from hard work and constant
Watchfulness, and who improves every
opportunity in making a superior ar
ticle. The buttermaker of to day carr
ries large responsibilities with him,
for on him depends the welfare Of the
community of patrons who entrust
their product to his care, and he must
manufacture a high grade of butter
to bring the top price. We are pleased
to say that our buttermakers are in
creasing in numbers, and according
to the receipts of fancy butter Oh our
markets, the makers Of low grade but.

Dairy Notes.
Always skim the milk before it gets
thick.
+ Stir in the salt rather than work it
in. u ~. T.. H. a.- ....-.5
Never churn old and new cream until
it has been well mixed at least fouR
hours.
1t is not good business policy to keep
poor cows to lose all the money that is
made on the good ones.
Too much oat meal, on account of its
oily nature, will cause the butter to-
become soft.
1t is rather poor encouragement to-
attempt to work dry salt into dry but
ter.
A few minutes delay in straining the
milk after it is drawn will make a
considerable difference in the cream
rising.
The prudent dairyman does not omit
to take an account of stock and strike
a balance between cost and sale price
of his goods. ri,
It is pretty hard to glut the market
with butter that is just right in flavor,
grain, color, sailing, packing, etc.; butt
in the loW-grade line the business is al
ready OverdOne.
Prof. Mckay Of the Iowa state ag-
ricultural college says he believes that
the right degree of sacidity not onlY
governs the flavor of butter, but also
that Of cheese if brought under faYora-
bic circumstances.
Breed and feed are both important
in dairying. The proper care of cow
not naturally a good mixer, or the
poor care of a COW of a good milking
strain, will neither give good results.
Feed and breed must be combined.
Canada cheese is very largely dis
placing American cheese in England.
because SO much American filed
cheese has been sent across the water

"A good butter maker saws that the
main point in making granular butter
is to have the temperature low enough
to prevent adhesion Of the globules
when they appear, and to stop the
churn while they are in that condi-
ton
The Elgin Dairy Report believes that
the conditions which now prevail
causing low prices of agricultural
products, will extend further and fur
Their until they will include eyerythinet
produced by the farmer and the onlY
remedy is to practice economy in pro-
duction.
Don't neglect to salt the COWS regu-
larly. It has been shown that. cows
without salt for week shrank about
- per cent in quantity of milk, and in
quality also; that it turned sour iii
much less time than milk drawn from
the same cows when receiving salt
every day.
The Texas station was getting III
cents to Il cents per pound for it's

Lice and Warm Days.

81 It requires but twenty-four hours
for a poultry house to be over-run
with lice when warm summer days oc-
cur. The Importance of keeping the
house clear of lice is, therefore, ap-
parent. 1t is not difficult to keep lice
down if the work of so doing is not
neglected It is due to the delays so
often INDUCED in, which give lice an
opportunity to multiply and swarm
over every portion of the house that
makes an excess of work. Some per-
sons are satisfied to attempt to destroy
lice once. or twice during the season,
considering that it will be sufficient,
but they overlook the fact that lice
multiply very rapidly during the prev.
alence of warm weather, and that only
persistence and patience will clear
them out. If once the lice are de-
stroyed, the house will need attention
once week only, perhaps, but it is
seldom that all of the pests will be
reached, and if but few escape they
will soon replenish the number that
met their fate previously. To keep
down lice is to keep the hens in bet
ter laying condition, for as soon as
lice over-run the quarters the hens
will become debilitated and gradually
die off.-Poultry Keeper.

The Diamond King wore but few
jewels, but these were Of the !. most

of wine, the Due de Morny, model Of

blazed a steel blue diamond Of at least

Surely" was the prompt response.
And if at the end of that time I
agree to give you 100000 francs, or

"As a gentleman I cannot, for I as

from his master, which he sold at half

bought quartz crystals and signed a

the diamond king yesterday at the
Langham hotel. He talks English
without an accent, and might easily
pass for a London merchant in easy
circumstances. He is of medium height,
well built and erect. Only the dark
eyes and black hair and beard suggest
his south European ancestry.
At our request Col Gonzales kindly

the way, he has Eot brought over for
sale. Witnoat much knowledge of the
actual value of these diamonds. the
Telegraph representative was dazzIed
by their beauty and found himself
breaking the commandment against
covetousness. There is hardly wo-
man from the throne down who would
not have had her head turned by the
sight of these wonderful gems as the
colonel let them fall care1essly through
his long, shapely fingers.
The colonel will stay in London for a
few days and then hurry over to Paris

This article and others of similar
import were republished in Paris days

notoriety no one suspected, for he had
shown himself to be a most modest

Rich Americans, whether from the
northern or southern continent, are re-
garded by the Parisians as senlibar-

opinion by their lurid and vulgar mode
Of life and their reckless expenditure of
money.
There were those who believed the
Diamond King would be the character

working for notorfety. But, to the sur
prise Of 1.-THE emperor's set" Colonel
Gonzales sought out nobody and did
nothing to distinguish his way Of life
from that of the average well bred man.
This unexpected course intensified the
interest in him. He was, in addition to
being diamond king, a rara avis, and

LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. 10.-A runaway
trolley car on the Columbia & Donegal rail-

Columbia from Chickie's Park, when the
brake rigging broke on a steep grade There
were about ninety passengers aboard who
