Price of Milk at Factories.

The condenseries, bottling stations,
cheese and butter factories now control
the general supply, and as rule, where
a farmer can, be takes his milk to one
of these under contract more or less
strict and which may or may not be en-
forced, the latter depending mostly on
the one with whom he is dealing and
whether there is surplus or a shortage.
These plants are usually thought to be
a great benefit to the farmers and the
community, although the actual fact is
that the farmers have been brought more
and more to depend ON them for an out
let and suddenly find themselves being
squeezed and, upon looking around, find
that they have DO alternative but to do
as told and accept what they get.
None of the condenseries and other
plants thinks of buying milk without a
contract which is generally rather in
their favor and fixed SO that they can
completely control matters. Many have
clauses which are never enforced unless
they suddenly have an object known
only to themselves For the past 20
years the prices of milk per quart have
gradually decreased, as may be seen
from the following figures:

TEXAS SNAKE STORY.

A Rather and Mexican Anoat on q
Plank For Hours.
81 have heard of many men being
placed in odd predicaments, remarked
Captain Jenkins, "but one of the most
peculiar situations that ever befell an
individual was assuredly that of an ig-
norant Mexican q good many years ago
near Indianola, Tex, at the time the
town was SO nearly destroyed by trop-
ical hurricane or cyclone. have heard
the story many times, although it hap
pened so long ago. 1t was during the
extreme height of the cyclone. Houses
in Indianola were going to pieces like
SO much paper, boats were being wreck
ed, and it looked decidedly bad for the
individuals who were located in ex-
posed portions of the coast. 1t was
about this time that little Mexican
settlement on one Of the coast islands
adjacent to Indianola began to go to
pieces, the water having risen over the
top of the sand dunes and the waves
smashing the loosely constructed build
ings Of the settlement into kindling
wood. Jose Baretti, one of the inhabit-
ants Of the settlement, was separated
from the remainder Of his family, and,
clinging to long plank, was driven in
to the inner bay over the ruins of the
settlement.
"When the day broke, he was out of
sight of land. The waves had Gained
down and the storm was gone AS he
cast his eye about in the early dawn, to
his horror he found the other end Of
the plank occupied by an immense rat
tlesnake. AS soon as the snake observed
the Mexican he began to writhe and
coil in an odd sort of manner, and APP
parently to make attempts to reach the
poor fellow, whose hair was then stand
ing on end in a manner wonderful to
behold. The hours went by. The snake
kept up his antics, but for some reason
did not get any nearer the Mexican.
The unfortunate fellow was afraid to
leave the plank, knowing that he would
drown, and at the same time he was in
horrible fear of meeting death in more
terrific manner from snake bite. He lay
ON the end of the plank with his eyes
fixed on the RATHER. In fact, they both
eyed each other, and this they kept up
until midday, when fishing smack
came sailing along on the lookout for
castaways
1.-THE Mexican was seen from the
boat, and in a short time was hauled
on board more dead than alive He
pointed weakly at his kissing compan-
ion. The sailors on the smack killed the
rattlesnake and found that he had jam
med his tail through small knothole
in the plank. The immersion of the
buttons of the rattle in the salt water
had caused them to swell, and he was
unable to remove his tail from the hole
To this fortunate circumstance the Mex
lean owed his life. The fact that the
coast islands contain many rattlers ac-
counts for the presence of the snake on
the plank. by the Bye in New Or

she was perfection. In all the years in
which she lived on that farm she never
SHE'D or bolted or ever once showed a
trace of bad temper She was the most
priced, petted animal ON large coun-
try place.
Her colts, one of which she produced
each year, half bred Morgans, were, I'M
like herself, large animals, above the
usual size of farm horses. They inherit
ed her gentleness and pluck, however,
as we'll as her intelligence. A pair of
them, matches, were sold to the propri-
etor of a noted circus and went to the
far west, where they were recognized
years afterward by one who had known
them back in the east. They were well
on in years, but the proprietor of the

the best pullers l have"
From that day to this the writer has
always cherished an affection for the

FRUITS FOR THE TABLE.


49,
Fruits are more appetizing and, per-
haps, more easily digested if taken in
the early part Of the day whether or
not before the breakfast must be de-
terrnined by the eater.
Grapes, oranges and shaddocks may
be served before the cereal. Baked APP
pies, peaches, baked bananas, figs, dates,
prunes or stewed fruits should be served
at the close of the breakfast.
Raisins, sultanas, dried figs and
prunes should be soaked thoroughly, SO
that they may take up the same amount
of water with which they have parted
in the process of drying, and should
then be heated just enough to soften the
skins.
The subacid fruits, such as apples,
figs, dates, peaches, persimmons. pears,
prunes and apricots, are, perhaps, the
best Of the winter fruits and may be
used to good advantage with animal
foods.
Acid fruits must at all times be used
most sparingly, especially by persons
inclined to rheumatic troubles. The
continued use of an orange or shaddock
before breakfast will diminish the pow
er Of stomach digestion, for which rea
son they should be served with cereals
or such foods as require only intestinal
digestion.
The papaw and pineapple belong to a
class alone. They contain a vegetable
pepsin which assists in the digestion OF
the nitrogenous principles. These fruits,
then, may be served with meats and
will aid in their digestion. When served
with bread and butter, they do not form
SO good diet They are more digestible
raw than cooked, as the heat destroys
the activity of the ferments.
Apples as rule are more easily di
gested cooked than raw. although raw
apples are more palatable.
The fashion of adding sugar to fruits
should be avoided, as they have already
been endowed with sufficient amount
Of sugar, and as all the starch and cere-
ais are converted into sugar any further
amount would be stored in the system,
to its detriment. If our bilious friends
would throw aside their liver pills and
with them sugar, they might be free
from much discomfort. Mrs. S. 7.

Dairy and Creamery.

Here is a lesson for dairymen and
creamery men. A violent outbreak of
typhoid fever began in November among
the children Of New Jersey city. 1t
became epidemic, and the board of
health investigated the matter. They
found that the families in which the
disease occurred had many of them been
using milk from certain dealer His
milk and cream depot was on the edge
of pond. Into this pond emptied
drainage system. Twelve feet below the
drain mouth pipe entered the pond
from the creamery Water was pumped
up from this pond through the pipe to
clean the bottles and milk utensils used
in the establishment. Thus the city
children had been drinking milk sealed
up in bottles washed III water from
drainage pond. There was no mystic
rious dispensation of Providence in that
outbreak of typhoid fever 1t was a
clear case of mans filth. The creamery
that supplied the milk was closed by
the health authorities.
Let the light into your souls and into
your stables. 1t is good for both.
If you never did it before, begin the
first part of 1898 and keep an expense

penditures. also every item of your in

Each pound of butter fat makes ON

3. 6 per cent of butter fat, then for each

Rlght kind Of HOGS For fsrseo1ng.


Whatever the breed may be the SOW

called slabsided, !" rather than round
bodied, stout in the legs and shoulders,
and rather larger in head and ears than

bristles on the back and along the neck,
almost like name, are considered indi-
cations of strength and vigor or a
strong constitution, which will produce
strong, healthy pigs.
The boar, if of the same breed, should
be more like the type intended for fat
tening-that is, short in the body and
legs, with heavy hams and shoulders
not too coarse in bristles or large in the
head and ears. If both SOW and boar
are too coarsely built, the young will
be apt to grow too much like the old
razorback races.

neither clover pastures nor extensive

are cash commodities, 1 confess to a
liking for the small and medium York

of the larger breed, when it is conven-
lent to obtain such, or good grades Of
these breeds. But there are other good
breeds and grades, or crossbred swine,
that are profitable to keep and feed for

When one has obtained good animals

be kept several years, allowing the sow
to have two filters a year, the first lit

can be weaned at or weeks old and
