Artificial MIX.

A Chicago chemist named w. ]. Cook

ton of an artificial milk. This is some
thing that many chemists have long be-
lieved to be theoretically possible, and
1t is result that Mr.. Cook claims TO
hive accomplished. At a recent trial
he passed some cows milk In n glass
to the company, and In another glass
some of his artificial manufacture. The
artificial milk proved to most tastes to
be at least as good as the natural milk.
When tested by the amount Of cream
It would yield the artificial milk pro
duced most. No report is given of the
cost Of this artificial milk. We shall be

II Is now more thnn two years since
farmers began to rcalizc that there was
n marked Shortage In beef cattle. and
make efforts to restock. Throughout
1890 and 1897 comparatively few calves
were marketed. Pastures were gener-
ally abundant. beef cattle sold well,
and there was every induccment for
farmers to Increase their production Of
beef. In the Ohio Valley good many
yearlings were brought from Canada
and some from Kentucky and Tennes-
see. All these Influences have tended.
within the past two years. TO replcnish
the beef stock on the farms. but, OF
course, II has been impossible In so
short time to overcome the losses
caused by years of depression and
drought We may reasonably expect,
however. that farmers VIII have more
cattle TO market during the coming two
years than during the past two. Calves
are being bred and kept. and 1t takes
only two TO two and one-half years for
calf to become beef. The yearlings
are coming along, and there are more Of
them now than for several years.-Na.

Corn and Beans.

When corn and beans are planted at
their usual time, which Is a little ear
Her for the corn than is best for the
beans, both are In right condition TO use
for cooking together In their green
stage. Hence succotash seems to be the
natural result. as where both have to
be boiled It was Inevitable that some
time they should be cooked together.
II Is dish which the American Indians
learned to use before the white man
visited them. The ideal succotash Is
made from sweet corn, young and ten
der. and the large. fully grown Lima
bean. About one-fourth beans will be
enough. The Lima bean is much the
richest and best bean for making succo-
fash. and In the country. where 1t can
he grown as easily as any other. II
ought always to be used for this pur-
pose. The Lima bean requires to be

fore II is fully ripe, the vines Will con-

In the space of four-and-twenty consec-
utive hours, several years ago. twelve
ducls were fought In Gottingcn. In
Jena the record for one day In recent
times Is twenty-one. Fully 1000 stu
dent duels are fought every year In the
German empire. In addition to these
there are the moro serious duols be-
tween officers and civilians. Among
Germans of mature years the annual
number of duels Is about 100.

even the German student ducls. or
the serious ducls France can boast
fully 1000 per annum. The majority
of these IRE among army officers. More
than half of them result In wounds
and nearly % per cent In serious
wounds.
Italy has had 1850 duels In the last
ten years. Some 2.4OO of these meet

with rovolvers. In 07I cases the insult
