Adulterated Cream.

No sooner does an article of food be-
come widely used than a certain class
of men begin to devise methods to falsi-
fy and adulterate it. The use of cream
is spreading rapidly in the cities, and,
as a consequence, methods for giving
the cream a false richness are in de-
mand. Fortunately the men who get up
these methods of authorizations are al
most invariably profoundly ignorant of
the possibilities of chemical analysis,
and the crude compounds which they
put upon the market are easily distin-
guished if enough is used to make the
adulteration profitable. The latest meth
cd which has come to our notice is one
for classifying cream, giving it a rich
ness not due to butter fat The product
is called "albuminoid" and is a mix
ture of boric acid and gelatin This
compound when added to cream makes
it thicker and apparently richer, and
also, owing to the bo1ic acid, makes it
keep longer. Fortunately both these
compounds are easily detected by the
chemist, and the dairyman who thinks
to increase his profits by the use Of such
a mixture stands good chance of in
curing fine that will make hole in
his profits, and the hole will be Of
sufficient size to make him think twice
before running the risk second time.
The tendency at the present time is to-
ward pure food products, and, although
such compounds as the above appear on
the market with great regularity, we
notice that in a short time they disap-

GRADE COWS.
An Interesting Experiment. at the Kansas
psAgricultural College.

An Interesting Experiment at the Kansas
wAgricultural College.
The Kansas Agricultural college has
taken up new line Of experiment, says
the Boston Cultivator, and we shall
watch with much interest for the re-
suits. They have purchased herd of
good average Kansas COWS, weighing
from 1000 to LOO pounds, and not
particularly of the dairy type as it is
understood, but such as many good
farmers in that state and others must
rely upon for their principal stock.
They will try to see if good food and
good care will enable them to produce
the dairy products at profit from such
COWS, and, if there is a profit, to see how
it compares with the profit from COWS of
the true dairy type, animals from stock
bred for generations for dairy purpose.
This will constitute valuable object
lesson for the students and for those
who read the bulletins of their expert
mental work or the papers which re-
publish them. But to make the expert
ment complete they should take the
best Of these COWS and mate them with
good bulls of dairy families, raise the
heifer calves with care and ascertain
how much better such grade stock may
be than the COWS it is bred from.
Not every farmer can restock his farm
by buying new herd of dairy COWS,
even if he is convinced that they will
pay.a larger profit, but almost any one
can buy grade cows, heifers or calves of
dairy type and blood or can procure the
services of good bull to mate with his
best COWS and can raise few calves
The change can be made gradually
easier than it could be made all in one
year
And yet farther investigation may be
needed. The best grade calves will not
always come from the best dairy COWS.
The contest for supremacy or hereditary
influence between different bloods or
between the dairy type and the beef
type may be so great as to make the
product Of mating of very uncertain
character. A good bull may succeed in
implanting the character of the family
he is bred from upon the offspring of a
very inferior COW of no particular breed.
ing and utterly fail to do the same upon
the calf of another and better COW that
is strongly marked with the character
of some other blood or type of animal.

Many dairymen are inclined to at
tribute to the separator good points
which it does not possess. A dairyman
recently made the remark to the writer
when it was mildly suggested that his
stables were not as clean as they might
be that all odors and filth which might
by accident get into the milk were re-
moved by the separator at the creamery
where the milk was sold No one will
question the value of the separator for
doing what it was intended to do-sep-
arate the butter fat from the milk-but
it surely was never intended to remove
filth. The dairyman who will deliber-
ately permit filthy COWS and stables to
be the rule should be forced out of bust
ness, and the time is not far distant
when creamery operators will find a
way of detecting the source of supply Of
tainted and filthy milk. Then the dairy
man will be forced to do what he should
now voluntarily do as a matter of de-
cency.-Atlanta Journal

VICTIMS OF eoITER.
ehe Disease Is Brought on by Drinking
Snow Water.

Hhe Disease Is Brought on by Drinking
Snow Water.
The valley of the Rhone has been
quite noted for its goiter victims, al
though / am happy to say that through
the increased watchfulness of the au-
thorities there now is an abatement Of
the disease. Many different causes are
assigned to the terrible affliction-this
enlargement of the glands Of the throat,
goiter, or "big neck as it is some
times called-and even the best inform
ed are far from being unanimous as to
its origin or prevention. The peasants
themselves say it is brought on by the
habitual use Of snow and glacial water.
The water is SO cold 1t acts as counter
| irritant, and SO inhames the throat, but
this explanation hardly holds, as the
inhabitants Of the upper regions are not
SO often afflicted as are the people in the
lower valleys. The use of chemically
impure water, especially hard water, is
given as cause.
The experiment has been made where
the water Of certain wells was used to
| the exclusion of all other water. With
in short time goiter symptoms began
to manifest themselves where none
had been before. Sometimes this dis
ease Is epidemic An instance was
noted where In garrison one out of ev-
cry 90 men became afflicted Infants
are seldom born with goiter, but after
it once takes hold the progress Of the
disease is very rapid. believe that 1t
is rarely fatal, but because of this en-
largement of the glands and the conse-
quent Disagreement of the throat it is
most repulsive, and yet the natives are
SO accustomed to seeing it that they do
not seem to care. 1t probably is simply
a source of discomfort rather than NOR
LITIGATION. In fact, in some portions Of
France, Italy and Switzerland a goiter
| is thing to be priced and to be exhib-
tied, for its possession exempts a man
from military service Young men have
been known to resort to certain wells
supposed to convey this poison to the
blood that they might evade conscrip-
tion. When. Savoy was annexed to
France, vigorous measures were adopt
ed to stamp out if possible this hateful
disease. There was heavy penalty for
drinking the water of forbidden wells,
and then the little children were treat
ed in the hope Of curing them. Lozen-
ges of iodine were administered, and
out of 5000 children 2,000 were cured,
and more would have been helped had
not the parents ignorantly opposed the
giving Of the remedies. The villages al
SO were cleaned and sanitary measures
insisted upon. For, aside from all other
causes, it is quite agreed that goiter may
be transmitted or be sporadic. Like
diphtheria, it is filth disease, and Of
ten has it's origin in the negligent hab-
its of the villagers These peasants re-
fuse to live elsewhere than in the old

far away to the fields, but returning at
night to their overcrowded homes,

themselves into the water. This result con-
vinoed me that a crocodile is almost invul
nerable on the head or back or the upper
part of the body generally.
When one is captured, the fishermen
generally cut him up and took away select
parts for home consumption, and you may
be sure the gall bladder was secured and
carried away as a prize. In spite of the
strong musky odor of the crocodile and his
general responsiveness as an article Of diet,
he is eaten by the fishermen caste, who
also eat the large river turtle, which is an
equally foul feeder.
Crocodiles are very prolific. Young
ones of all sizes abound in the river, and
these from the first display the demoniac
ferocity of their species. The eggs are laid
on ledge of the bank, and sometimes
about 80 or 40 yards from the water, and
are covered with sand The female is al
ways close by and rushes at any animal
that comes near them. She even drives off
crows or dogs that approach the spot. In
spite of her vigilance a large majority of
the eggs and young are destroyed in one
way or another. Immediately the young
are Matched they plunge into the stream,
and large numbers are no doubt eaten by
fishes and other animals. -Contemporary

HOW TO COOK POSTUM.

FOLD by One of the Most skiIIful Oppos-
sum Chefs In the World.
A negro's juicy appreciation of pos
sum meat was well illustrated upon a
recent occasion when lady with whom
the narrator is acquainted paid visit
to New Orleans. She told him the
story. She was walking down Charities
street early one morning. intending to
visit the celebrated French market Of
the Crescent City, and on her way she
met a very old colored man coming
from the opposite direction, evidently
from the market, as he was carrying in
one hand possum and in the other a
small split wooden basket of sweet po-
tatoes The old mans face was beam
ing with good nature and wreathed in
smiles of anticipatory pleasure. He look
ed SO joyously into the face of the lady
that she, too, could not help but smile
at him, whereupon he held the possum
up aloft and said, 'Good eatin, missy,
good eatin." She stopped for moment,
looked at the childlike, happy face Of
the old negro and said, $50 you like
possum, do you?'
Like possum, missyl I loves pos
sum. Dare amt no eatin like possum.
De possum am good, but de gravy
with sweet potatoes is better. Did you
never eat possum, missy? Den you
didn't know what good eatin was But
mebbe you all wouldn't know how to
cook Mr.. Postum, fur dar's ebbyt' ing
in de know how"
''Well, then, tell me how you cook
it," she said.
The old man set the possum and po-
tatoes down on the pavement, or, as
they call it in New Orleans, the "ban-
quet, !" and with a look Of earnest con-
centration began with: Nov, don't
you never forget jest what TIE gwine to
tell you about how to cook de possum.
Well de fust ting you does is to get
your possum. Dat may be easy fur you
uns, but faint fur me-dat is, always.
Well, den, when you's dun got your
possum you skins him fust. Den you
puts him into de pot with cold water
an put de pot over hot fire, an den
you parbiles him-not too muoh-fuI
you doan't want to lose any of his nice
sweet fat. Den you takes him out of de

Water For Cows.

A plentiful supply of water is neces-
sary for the proper production of milk.
American experimenters state that the
amount of water absorbed by COW
does not influence materially the
quantity or quality of the milk. l am
bound to disagree with this, although
have carried out no experiments on the
subject, for the reason that watery and
sloppy foods such as grass, brewers
grains and roots, certainly do tend to the
production of larger quantity of milk
with corresponding decline in the to-
tai solids, more particularly in the but
ter fats. At least consider that this is
the most feasible explanation of why
the total solids go down when watery
foods are given and also why the excess
of water drunk in hot summer has a
like effect.
