Artificial Milk.


A Chicago chemist named w. ]. Cook
has been experimenting in the produc-
ton of an artificial milk. This is some
thing that many chemists have long be-
lieved to be theoretically possible, and
1t is a result that Mr.. Cook claims to
have accomplished. At a recent trial
he passed some cows milk in q 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
very much surprised If chemical In
genuity deyises means to make sup
ply of milk at so low cost as a good
COW on grass or ensilage feed can do it.
All the material In the milk, especially
albumen and butter fats, are expensive.
There is no way of getting them cheap
~ except in such coarse feed as the
COW requires, and she can work them
into milk to be drawn night and morn
ing for much less per day than any
chemist will charge.

Packing of Fine Fruit.

The manner in which the packing is
done often controls the price at which
really choice fruit will sell. This is par
ticularly the case with so juicy and
tender-skinned a fruit as the pear. A
little bruising will often cut down the
price of pears one-half. When one has
really fine Bartletts, ANXIOUS and other
choice pears Of large size it is worth
the while to take some care to get them
into the market in as fine shape as pos
sible. To this end it is often advisable
to follow the fashion Of those who send
choice oranges to market-wrapping
each specimen of fruit in tissue paper.
This work is usually done by machin-
cry in the case of oranges, but after

The Gold Of Silence.
An Army Tragedy.

More harm has been wrought in this
world by the gold of silence than by
the silver of speech. Especially is
this true of matters Of the heart
Farland came to realize it in the
end; but as he left the commanding
officer and walked in his deliberate
way across the hoproom to where Miss
Cameron stood, he was priding him
self upon his ability to hold his tongue,
and, WITH a wretched sort Of vain
. glory, nerving himself to hold it for
seven hours longer.
Miss Cameron was talking to the
regimental quartermaster, and when
she caught sight of Farland, she grew
radiant. The regimental quarter
master observed this, and was, of
course, annoyed. He went away and
left her with the lieutenant.
1t is the fate of woman to be for
ever smiling Few men have learned
to distinguish that eternal smile. Those
who have, have observed the subtlest
tragedies of life.
Farland was not one of them. He
WAS tOO lAdA1S W
stand women. He was, therefore,
strengthened in his resolve to keep
silence when Miss Cameron's express
sion in nowise changed as he told her
that she must excuse him from the
next dance.
81 have just seen the colonel, and he
has been pleased to Inform me that
must leave at reveille.'
For what portion of the globe!'
She gazed over his shoulder in ap-
parent absorption in something at the
other side of the room. IT Farland
had been a student of the sex he
would have known that this was over
acting. 1t was one of the many of
Miss Cameron's charms that she u.s.
ually fixed her entire attention upon
the person at hand.
where are you going?' she re-
peated.
ITO join Blake's command. After
that, wherever the will of heaven and
the craft Of the Apache may lead me-"
For just one instant her expression
changed. But Farland was not acute.
Upon q scout, thenv she asked.
Upon a scout, yes. And as I have
to leave before reveille, and, as it is
now eleven O'Clock, there is no time
to be lost"
Miss Cameron was smiling again.
"You will not sleep much tonight
Things must be serious"
They are" he told her.
There was a pauSe-One Of those in
tervals when the gods benumb our
mental powers that instinct may have
fair play. But we defeat their ends
We have trained instinct to lie quiet
The lieutenant moved uneasily. Miss
Cameron, with the delicate much-sung
discernment of woman, thought him
restless to be gone. She drew herself
up to her full height, determined that
she was Indifferent and hard. and his
resolution was enforced.
"You must not let me keep you," she
said.
Earland was too well trained to al
low his anger and unnappiness to ap-
pear in more than an exaggerated un-
concern. He took her extended hand.
..ShalI you be here when return?"
he asked. His resolution was near to
breaking. 4 If her tawny eyes had
grown ever so little soft, he would
have flung his golden wealth of silence
TO the windss But her pride was
mighty, and it was aroused.

week." she said.

Young Cattle More Plentiful.

Young Cattle More Plentiful.
It is now more than two years since
farmers began to realize that there was
a marked shortage in beef cattle, and
make efforts to restock. Throughout
1896 and 1897 comparatively few calves
were marketed. Pastures were gener-
ally abundant beef cattle sold well,
and there was every inducement 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 replenish
the beef stock on the farms, but, of
course it has been impossible in go
short time to overcome the losses
caused by years of depression and
drought. We may reasonably expect,
however, that farmers will have more
cattle to market during the coming two
years than during the past two. Calves
are being bred and kept, and it 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-
tional Stockman.

can not add anything to the land other
than to prevent waste of materials,
which they naturally consume, and are
therefore more valuable when they are
fed at the barn at night, the additional
food rendering the manure more yalu-

Care of Poultry.

The domestic fowl is very prolific
and a flock can be made to increase
rapidly If care is given. To begin with,
500 or 1000 hens require large capital

chased and suitable buildings prepared,
but it is not difficult to secure large

Cave STORAGE for App1es,

Peter Youngers Of Geneva, Neb.,
treasurer of the State Horticultural So
ciety, gives his experience in keeping
apples in cave. He dug down ten feet
and then tunneled back fifteen feet, the
width of tunnel at bottom being six
feet. This was arched to height Of
six and a half feet. Mr.. Youngers made
no support to prevent the dirt from cav
ing in, the clay subsoil making a dura
BILE wall. In this cave Mr.. Youngers
stored the following articles: Ben
Davis, winesap, geneton, white winter.
Pearmain and Rome beauty. On the
25th Of July these apples were in per-
feet condition. The entrance to the tun-
mel was tightly closed by door, and
there was also a door to the opening.
This experiment proves that every fruit
grower can have apples the year round.
In portions of the country it will be
necessary, Of course, to have the tunnel
supported to prevent caving in.-The

murder OF H IwKEs.
We never expected any other result
from the trial. We knew that license
had been given men of this stripe to
shoot, stab and kill colored men. To
even try them upon the charge was q
great concession. This was due no
doubt to the fact that the coIored men
stood high in the community in which
they lived. had some money and many
friends, both white and colored.
All of this could not overcome the
prejudice against them, caus ed by the
fact that they had few drops of Ne.
gro blood in their veins. But it will be
generally conceded that there was nc
justification for the murder of HENRY
HAWKES..
The ruling of the court was squarely
in favor OF the defense. 1t was a sac

THREE MORE MURDERED.

THERE is no contention that the dan
gers of Negro supremacy" threaten
the white people of the state of Missis-
sippi. There can be no windy discus
sion relative TO editorials written by n
colored journalist.
1t seems according to the statements
OF the murderers themselves that a
white man camped near the Okatubee
River in the neighborhood OF Meridian,
Miss. About the time he was break
ing camp" "hog came up and got in
to his provisions"
AS to what became OF the hog no ia
formation is given. The owner came
up and words followed. 10 the fight
the man was slightly injured. he
went to Meridian, and with party OF
white toughs hunted the three colored
men concerned, and the information is
that they killed them.
Not only was this done, but the col
ored people in the entire neighborhood
were terrorized. Bullets were fired
into their houses, aud the relatives OF
the three men had to be placed in jail
in order to save their lives.
Those apologists who have any srgu-
ment to offer will please adduce il
now. The colored man is denied
the right to enjoy any liberty what
ever. The situation gets worse and
worse, and in orr judgement, is due
primarily to the progress the colored
men are making in all of the avenues
OF life.
For our part, we believe that indi-
vidual defense will do much to relieve
the situation. Whea these raids are
accompanied invariably with the loss Of
these lawless white mems lives, they
will become much less frequent, and
those OF Us who remain alive will
breathe much more freely.
