sheenIn tbe soutb

In the south mutton is scarcely
known as a household provision, but
the boom has reached the south, and
sheep are kept where they never were
before. and this for the money there is
in them. Sheep have trebled in value
since two years ago in the south. By
and by the southern old fields-skele-
tons they are-will become new and
clothed with verdure and dotted with
the wool bearers, and the old skeletons
will be living, profitable, productive
fields. The sheep will work this trans
formation. There is wide field in the
southern states for the shepherd and
the wool manufacturer, and when 1t is
fully occupied there will be more sheep
there than in any of the European
countries and than in the whole of the
northern part of this continent else
where. Everything necessary is to be
had with the least possible labor and

BIG MILK FARMS.


In the village of Arden, Orange coun-
ty. N. Y, A miles from New York city,
is the Arden Farms Dairy company,
which owns 1900 acres of land, 5000
acres Of which are tillage, says Up to
Date Farm arr Garden. The central
portion of the main barn is three sto-
ries high. with TWO wings in which the
cows are kept Nothing is stored over
the animals. The floor whore the anil
mails are kept is concrete, hot and cold
water is supplied by a system Of pipes,
and troughs and floors can be flushed
with water and kept scrupulously
clean. In this barn are kept at all
times upward of 100 mixers. although
375 cows are owned by the company.
The rest of the mixers are distributed
in the other barns. When cow Is
dry, she Is sent to one of the outlying
farms The herd is mixed one,
Guernsey and Ayrshire blood predomi-
mating. The company sells two grades
of milk. one of per cent and one of 5
per cent. Everything is kept scrnpu-
lousy clean. The cattle are curried
and brushed twice a day. The mixers,
after thoroughly washing, don a milk
ing suit of white duck and wash their
hands after each cow. The milk Is
strained four times before reaching the
consumer. The milking pals have
closely fitted covers. with a six inch
disk strainer. through which the milk
enters the pail. There is a large cool
ing room and aerator, with cold stor-
age rooms of the most modern pattern
Milk is put up in bottles. The lowest
price at which any milk is sold is that
which is disposed of in bulk, which is
10 cents per quart. Milk in bottles is
sold at u cents per quart.
This is only one of many similar en-
terprises that have sprung up near the
large cities and seems to show tend
ency for the business to drift into the
hands of corporations or individuals
with sufficient capital to carry it on a
high grade plan.

AUSTRALIAN SHEEP.

PastOraIists Spare No Pains to 1m-
prove Their FIocIxs.
Although the material prosperity Of
the Australian colonies is based large
Iy upon the richness and magnitude of
their mineral resources, says the Wash
ington Post, the pastoral and cognate
industries still constitute, as in former
years, the principal factor in the way
of colonial advancement, and, despite
the occasional heavy losses from
drought and other causes, the great
body of pastoralists appear more ener-
getic and enterprising than ever, spar
ing no expense in the improvement of
their focks, whether intended for meat
or for wool. Before the existing in
creased and cheaper facilities for the
export of Australian produce colonial
sheep farmers, as a rule, were content
with the ordinary increase of their
fiocks, making quantity rather than
quality their chief object This policy
has now become reversed, and the
great ambition of the leading pastoral
lists Is to produce the finest wool and
mutton possible. TO achieve this con-
siderable sums are expended in the
purchase of high class rams, some OF
the prices given being exceptionally
high.
At the recent annual sheep fair In
Sydney 2,310 sheep sold by a single
agency company realized f27, JOB, the
all round price averaging I'll las. Sd.
against 50 IS. Sd. in the previous year.
Several of the prices were somewhat
sensational, a Tasmanian special stud
ram. the Admiral, being purchased by
New South Wales pastoralist for 1,500
guineas Another Tasmanian ram, Pho
neer, brought 900 guineas, the purchas-
er also being New South Wales sheep
farmer Other prices ranged from 420
to $50 guineas. The bids are always in
guineas
Of course a considerable proportion
of the sheep were bought for Queens
land, Victoria, and other colonies, but
the pick was secured by New South
Wales. The Admiral, which realized
the top price. far higher than that Sc
cured by many a favorite race horse, is
a pure Merino, coming from the best
stock imported into Australia, and
when last shorn gave 311a pounds of
wool with II months growth.

Checking oleon,argarlne.

The Chicago papers report that the
Illinois Dairy union is considering the
plan of having retailers put a descrip-
tive and duly copyrighted label on all
packages of genuine butter sold by
them No particular brand or grade of
butter is to be advertised, says Hoard S
Dairyman, the only requirement being
that it shall be genuine butter. Poor
butter advertises itself, and the label
will simply guarantee purity. OF course
no dealer will dare to put such q label
on oleomargarlne or any other kind of
counterfeit butter and the absence of
the label will therefore be presumptive
evidence that the article is spurious.
1t is proposed to have wholesalers
labels to their customers. The expense
will be trifling, probably not more than
20 cents per thousand. 1t is also pro-
posed to have the labels and their
uses freely advertised.
Such a scheme would seem to be not
unworthy of trial, but we predict that
the oleomargarineprom would very
soon put out something which would
be so nearly like these butter labels
that only close examination would
detect the difference. The sale of oleo-
margarine in any considerable amount is
possible only by resorting to deception
and fraud. and when any set of men
commence to cheat and lie they are
very apt to keep at it until they find
themselves face to face with prison
doors.

shape Of PORK barrels.

1t is about this time of the year that
the pork barrel begins to give trouble,
because the pork rises to the surface
and can no longer be covered by the
brine. Why does pork rise late in the
season? An old farmer many years
ago explained the reason. The pork
barrel is made the same shape as any
other barrel that is, with its sides
bullying in the middle and smaller
above and below. The proper shape
for any barrel to hold pork or beef is
with straight slaves and smaller at
the top than at the bottom. 1t is some
what harder to reach down into such
barrel to get out piece of meat, but
the pork will keep as good as at first
until the last layer is reached. That
should be kept down by putting COW
er on it as large as can be squeezed
through the top and weighing It to the
bottom layer with heavy stones. Bos-

A PECULIAR SPIDER.
He Catches Birds as Big as LarlSs In
His Mammoth Web.


His Mammoth Web.
Far up in the mountains Of Ceylon
there is a spider that spins web like
bright yellowish silk, the central net
of which is five feet in diameter, while
the supporting lines, or guys, as they
are called, measure sometimes 10 or II
feet, and, riding quickly in the early
morning, you may dash right into it,
the stout threads twining round your
face like a lace veil, while, as the
creature who has woven it takes up his
position IN the middle, he generally
catches you right in the nose, and,
though he seldom bites or stings, the
contact Of his large body and long legs
is anything but pleasant If YOU forget
yourself and try to catch him, bite he
will. and. though not venomous, his
jaws are as powerful as birds beak,
and you are not likely to forget the en-
counter.
The bodies Of these spiders are very
handsomely decorated, being bright
gold or scarlet underneath, while the
upper part is covered with the most
delicate slate colored fur. SO strong are
the webs that birds the size of larks
are frequently caught therein, and even
the small but powerful scaly lizard
falls a victim. A writer says that he
has often sat and watched the vel
low monster measuring. when waiting
for his prey. with his legs stretched
out. fully six inches striding across
the middle Of the net and noted the
rapid manner in which he winds his
stout threads round the unfortunate
captive.
He usually throws the coils about
the head until the wretched victim is
first blinded and then choked. In many
unfrequented dark nooks of the jungle
you come across most perfect skeletons
of small birds caught in these terrible
snares.- Pittsburg Dispatch.

If person is i'll and needs medi-
cine is it not wise to get one that has
stood the test of time and has hum
dreds of thousands of cures to its
credit?
A great many women who are i'll try
everything they hear of in the way of
medicine, and this experimenting with
unknown drugs is a constant menace
to their already impaired health.
This seems to us very unwise, for
there are remedies which are no ex-
periments and have been known years
and years to be doing only good
Take for instance Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; for thirty
years its record has been one un-
broken chain of success. No medi-
cine for female ills the world has ever
known has such record for cures.
1t seems so strange that some people
will take medicines about which they
really know nothing, some of which
might be, and are, really harmful
while on the other hand it is easily
proved that over one million women
have been restored to health by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
We have published in the news
papers of the United States more
genuine testimonial letters than have
ever been published in the interest of
any other medicine.
All this should, and does, produce
spirit of confidence in the hearts of
women which is difficult to dislodge,
and when they are asked to take some
thing else they say, No, we want

According to the German paper,
Mich Zeitung, an extraordinary devel-
opment has of late years taken place
in cooperative dairying In Holland
For several years, says that paper,
much attention has been paid to the
manufacture and marketing of butter,
now nearly all carried out on cooper
alive principles, peasant proprietor
ship In that country being almost uni
yersal. Large butter factories, too, are
the rule, where the most advanced
methods are adopted. For instance,
with a view to making first rate but
ter, the cream is often pasteurized and
separated by the Schwartz process in
stead Of by the centrifugal system.
Artificial cultures are often used, and
the result is most satisfactory. So are
the simple but very businesslike meth
DDS of marketing. At Maestricht a
combined association disposes of the
great bulk of the butter and cheese
made by the members. 1t not only
sells the produce for its members upon
cooperative principles. but endeavors
to put the individual dairies into direct
business relation with foreign firms,
particularly in England, with the aid
of the Dutch consular agents.

Tal.e the Tombstone Along

The cemetery superintendent say
that there is one popularity about the
funerals of Cinnamon which is new
er noticed at any other funerals. The
tombstone always comes along with
the funeral. Most of the tombstones
are simple slabs Of marble, with the
inscription in Chinese characters,
which are arranged up and down in
stead of across the stone. In two or
three instances the funerals of Chi
namen have been known to be delayed
because the friends of the man who
was to be buried were waiting for the

subsuIphurfc Acid, Water and Zinc
Create Artificial Storms.
Some years ago Kansas was overrun
with so called ''rainmakers" who did
thriving business in vicinities afflicted
with drought The Rock Island rail
road had a rainmaker who travelled
about the country in special car and
made rain from Texas to Iowa. At the
time the process employed was guard
ed as secret, and no doubt the mys-
terry surrounding the operation had
much to do with the interest aroused
among the people. But now comes
George Matthews in the Wichita Eagle
with a full exposition of the means
employed by the Rock Island wizard
and others, and the following is the
recipe given by him:
''Ten fluid ounces of subsulphuric
acid.
Fifty fluid ounces of water.
give ounces of zinc.
"Renew every hour and stir every 80
minutes day and night until rain
comes. The moment rain begins to
fall remove jar or crock. In territory
west of Kansas use one-third less; at
sea level use double the quantity. In
Kansas work only on southerly winds,
which are the moisture bearing winds.
Begin an experiment only in clear
sky. One station Of the experiment, if
successful, will produce rain 80 to 80
miles in diameter. A better and more
certain result can be secured by having
three or more stations 40 or 80 miles
apart"
According to Mr. Matthews, this mix
ture left in an open mouthed jar gen
crates hydrogen gas, which rapidly
ascends. The theory is that this gas
ascending creates a shaft through the
hot mir down which the cold air rushes,
creating a storm center and gathering
moisture for precipitation. Matthews
claims that of the 200 experiments
made by him at least $50 were success

''Their work is simple. You see, q
great many piano firms sell instru-

of the piano dealer causes him to be
placed under suspicion. The dealer
can't step in and take his instrument
away under the contract, and the only
thing he can do is to watch it. Here
Is where the piano detective comes in.
He hovers around the house in which
the suspected purchaser lives, night
and day. watching any attempt to make
way with the piano. Usually three or
four weeks are long enough to settle
the question one way or another. If the
piano buyer is crooked, he is practically
certain to make some sort of a move
before the expiration of that time. If
he doesn't, it is pretty safe presumption
that the suspicion is groundless and
the piano detective is called off by his
employer, with no one but himself and
two or three others the wiser. But the
