That May Be Obviated After Running
six Hundred Years.
1t is proposed 10y the lord of the
treasury to commute the payment OF
6 242 15s, which is annually paid to the
holder OF the ancient Office of heritable
usher of Scotland.
The office, says the London Mail
was originally conferred on Alexander
Cockburn, of London, and his heirs,
by an act of parliament in Scotland IN
1893, and the original grant was con-
frmed by subsequent acts OF the Scot
fish parliament in 1851 and 1886, the
latter act attaching a salary OF e25l
year to the Office, but certain statu-
tory deductions have reduced the
amount now payable to e242 15s.
In 1908 the office, with the salary,
being heritable subject capable Of
being assigned away, was acquired by
Sir Patrick Walker for 1900, a sum
equivalent to 31A years. purchase Of
the salary. In 1890, the question
whether the grant was permanently
binding was submitted to the law OH.
GERS of the crown in Scotland, who
stated that in their opinion it was le-
gally binding, as resting on q series o.
acts of the Scots parliament.
No duties of an onerous kind are q
have been required for long time
from the holder of the Office. and It Is
now proposed to commute the payment

Dnirx and Creamery.

England imports every year $4,000,
not pounds, but tons, of cheese from
Holland. Much Of it is poor stuff, too,
used by the most poverty stricken of
Britain's population.
The problem of the dairy farmer at
present is to so feed and breed his COWS
as to produce more milk at less cost.
The promise of the future is that in
stead of hauling hundreds Of pounds of
milk daily to the creamery the dairy
farmer will have at home cream sep
arator, either hand or small animal
power, and SO soon as the milk is MIXED
will run it directly through the separa-
tor and haul the cream to the creamery
That is the way the wind sets now. The
plan has been in operation to limited
extent in several places and has proved
successful and satisfactory. Mr.. w. /.
Moody, the Iowa creamery man, some
time ago sent out separators among his
patrons. SO that they might separate the
cream on the farm and bring it to him
straight, keeping the skimmilk sweet
and fresh at home. This plan involves
less expense for all concerned.
Corn and cob meal ground together
and fed to cows is more profitable than
cornmeal fed alone.
When butter is sailed in the churn in
the granular state, it needs quarter
more salt than when the sailing is done
upon the worker. In the granular con-
dition the butter contains more water
than in the solid state.
The right way to pay for milk at a
creamery is to test the product supplied
by each patron, find out how much but
ter it makes to the 100 pounds, then,
counting the cost Of making each pound
of butter at the creamery, reward him
accordingly.

HE FELL 1900 FEET.

Boy Dropped to Death From Balloon
at Oakland, Cal.
Five thousand persons at Blair park,
Oakland, CAL, saw a small boy steal a
ride on hot air balloon, and then in
horror saw him fall 1900 feet to his
death.
The boy was Bertram Hill, 81 years
old, the son of Chauncey Hill, an archi-
tect of Los Angeles. For several days
he had been telling his playmates that
he was going to balloon ascension and
intended to steal ride. His guardian,
Miss Clancy, took him to the ascension,
and the little fellow pressed to the front
Of the crowd to watch Charles Conlan,
an amateur aeronaut. who was filling
the great hot air bag.
When the balloon was released and
shot skyward, the crowd was Mortified
to see the child clirging TO one Of the
weight ropes, at the end Of which was a
large bag OF sand designed to turn the
balloon over alter the aeronaut had
made his rarae lutte jump. The lad was
high up en- the side of the balloon, 35
feet above the aeronaut's trapeze and 25
feet cut.
A mile and half from the park and
at an altitude of 800 feet the boy was
seen to sltct downward from the side
of the balloon. The body was found in
soft ground, with hardly bruise upon
it.-New York Herald

Ridge, N. j., declares that since his town
has built few miles of macadam
roads, property has almost doubled in
value. New Jersey farmers are enthu-
siastic for the further extension of the
state aid system, under which the inn
proved roads of that state have been
built.
Good roads have paid for themselves
in New Jersey. They have paid for
themselves in North Carolina, in Massa-
chusetts and in Connecticut, the states
in which the greatest progress has so
far been made in their construction.
France, Germany, Holland and Belgium
have found macadam roads profitable.
Is there any reason why they should
prove Improbable in any state in the
union, with our vast agricultural inter
estsP Our exports of grain are growing
steadily from year to year. Machinery
is used at every step. Large amounts
are spent for this machinery each year,
because of the saving it effects. If our
agriculture is to continue to compete
in the markets of the world, those who
are engaged in it must practice economy
at every step. The loss due to bad roads
is one of the greatest wastes of energy
connected with farming as carried on in
this country. Why not, then, invest in
good roads, which will save farmers
more than any other investment they
can make? = Otto Dorner, in Cycling
Gazette.

odd Items of Information ON Home
An old housekeeper says that there
may be many new liquids for freshen-
ing and Frightening carpets, but she
has yet to find anything that will do
better work than OK gall. Use one gill
to a gallon of cold soft water, stirring
the OK gall into the water with stick.
With soft brush rub the carpet, max
ing white lather. Two persons should
do this work. one following the other
and washing the lather off with clear
water. The water should be changed
often, and then the carpet shorad be
rubbed with clean cloths until dry.
Among the crosses many housewives
have to annoy them is bathtub of
uninviting appearance in room that
otherwise looks fresh and clean after
the spring renovating. The furnished
surface may refuse to become bright.
no matter what cleaning materials are
employed. By being your own work
man you may, at trifing expense,
make the tub quite desirable. Procure
small can of common paint of any
light color desired, a can of enamel
paint of the same color, and a good
sized brush. Cut eight or ten-inch
pieces of yellow soap into bits, and
put it over the fire to dissolve in couple
of quarts of water. Fill the bathtub
with very hot water, and throw in a
generous handful of powdered borax
and the dissolved soap. When the wa
ter becomes cool enough to put the
hands in it, scrub the surface with a
brush, letting the water run off as the
work is done. Again partly fill the tub
with hot water and scrub it with the
brush and sand soap to make sure that
all greasy particles have been removed.
Then rinse it in clear hot water and
thoroughly dry. Cover itwith two coat
ings of the common paint, letting one
thoroughly dry before putting on the
second coat. Then give it several coats
of the enamel paint. This paint will
dry more quickly than the other, and
the bath will no longer be an unsightly
object. Care must be used not to run
very hot water into the bath alone I'M
It'll the paint has hardened.
Have you ever used dry lima beans
for that well-known and desirable dish,
pork and beans? They are excellent.
These beans are also very nice baked
and served in place of potatoes. They
should be allowed to bake very slowly
and tablespoonful of butter should
be substituted in this dish of beans
for the, to many undesirable, pork
