New Cancellins Ink.

Washington. Feb. 12.-The postoffice
department has introduced a new can
ceiling ink for use in the service. The
officials think it is superior to that
now in use because Of the fact that it
neither dries on the pad nor clogs the
stamping machine and penetrates the
fiber of the stamp itself to such an en-
tent that it cannot be erased without
destroying the surface of the stamp.
The use of the new ink will, it is said,
result in a considerable saving to the
government, as it will prevent the
washing of stamps with view to
their further use as is now done to
some extent.

Ice Water in Winter.

There is no more reason why ice
water should be given to fowls in win
ter than to other stock. Too often we
know all kinds of stock on farm re-
ceive only ice water, but this should
never be so. It is always easy to give
the fowls warm or tepid water. at least
in the morning. It will not only help
the egg supply, but it will tend to pre-
vent indigestion. Who knows what eff
fects may result from carelessness in
this matter? Then, too, If the water
be warmed it will not freeze so soon
on cold days and can thus be left till
the hens have all taken what they want
and even till it is more convenient to
remove it. Water is necessary for the
digestion Of food and acts as gen
eral carrier. It is therefore necessary
to supply it in considerable quantities.
When it is tepid or warm the fowls
will drink far more than when it Il
icy cold.

Roquefort Cheese Deteriorated.-For
many years epicures have delighted in
the flavor Of Roquefort cheese. which
was made from the milk of ewes. fed
in pastures containing an abundance Of
wild thyme. As the trade increased,
the thyme-clad banks Of the Larnac
and Aveyron failed to yield sufficient
pasturage, so the focks were fed In
grassy meadows, where they produced
more milk, but Of inferior quality. The
cheesemakers, spoiled by prosperity,
took to the practice Of mixing cows
milk with that Of the ewes, and then
deteriorated their product still further
by artificially ripening the cheese. The
result is that buyers now look askance
at so-called Roquefort cheese, and
business which formerly provided en-
ployment for over 100000 people is at
standstill, with little hope Of revival.
The Roquefort cheese makers, like the
misguided manufacturers Of filled
cheese in this country, will realize that
1t Is necessary to maintain a standard.

Color Of Butter.-A New York but.
ter man says: The color of the butter
is Of great Importance. For years there
was prevailing opinion that consum-
ers wanted a deep yellow, almost red.
dish color to their butter, and butter
makers tried to give them just what
they wanted. But this requirement, II
it ever existed, has changed very much,
and there is now growing demand for
pale color. High colored butter does
not look we'll at best, and the addition
of SO much coloring matter imparts q
foreign flavor. Our home jobbers sell
dom complain Of too light color, and
the constant call from the export trade
is for pale butter. II can't UNDER
