Butter that Fades,

I hardly think it possible for any
one to give just the reason for such a
condition coming to pure butter; yet
it does happen very often, and almost
always in butter that has been made a
long time and then taken from a place
of storage and put in a place where
the temperature is very different from
where it has previously been kept,
says H. S. Matteson, in Country Gen
tleman. Some good authorities say it
is caused by poor salt. To this I am
not quite willing to agree. l am of
opinion that it comes from not being
in the first place made as it should
be. The salt is not thoroughly incor-
porated in the butter, and this will al
low some parts of it to become rancid
and develop that peculiar tallow or
greasy flavor. The rancidity causes
the butter to undergo certain changes
that will make the natural color Jade
out, and in extreme instances the but
ter will become just about the color
of clean tallow-a yellowish white.
With color and flavor both gone, 1t is
little else than tallow. The color of

from the palmatin which it contains
as part of it's component fats, and
since this is not classed with it's vola-
tile parts, we can hardly assume that
it gets away by any process of evapo-
ration; hence I conclude that this CON
dition comes because of the develop
ment of rancidity which will develop
in butter kept for a long time, that
when first made was fairly good butter.
1 have never known of any butter COM
ing to this condition except when it
had been kept for months before be-
ing used, and I have never known it
to lose it's color except when it had
that tallowy taste. This, to me, is
evidence that the loss of color is due
to causes I have mentioned.

Weeds and Sheer.

Prof. Thomas Shaw says: OF the
600 weeds and grasses growing in the
Northwest, it is estimated by those
will eat not less than 576 of them,
while horses but 50 and cattle
only Sc Of them. The fact is sheep
prefer many kinds of weeds to
grasses, and weedy cattle and horse
pastures are always improved by turn
ing a small flock of sheep into them.
Whenever I see a boy in a mustard
field of large area pulling out the
mustard plants, where the grain grows
among the mustard rather than the
mustard among the grain, memory
goes back to the days when I worked
at the d~iscouraging task Of cutting
thistles with a butcher knife. There
is no way of killing weeds like turn
ing sheep on them. Take a piece of
weed-infested land and grow upon it
or three years, according to the ten
acity of the weeds and according to
their numbers. The aim should be to
grow them in as close a succession as
possible, and to crowd the largest num-
Der of them possible into a single sea-
son. When sheep devour weeds they
do not charge anything for their
work. They do not tear the weeds out
and leave them to waste on the sur
face as does the cultivator. They do
not gather them in their arms as the
boys do and then carry them labori-
ously to the other end of the field.
They turn them into mutton, fresh,
juicy and crisp. A sleeps stomach is
the most perfect receptacle that was
ever made for weeds. 1t is sure death
to every form of weed life. No weed
seeds retain the power of resurrection

When the Lambs Come.-When the
lambs commence coming is when the
shepherd must be up and stirring. He
should visit the flock every few hours,
both day and night, especially if the
weather is cold and stormy. AS soon
as the lamb is dropped, it and it's
mother should be removed to a small
stall to themselves. See that each teat
is open, by drawing some milk with
thumb and finger, and see that the
lamb takes nourishment before leaving
it. Often it is necessary, with a weak
lamb. to milk ONE milk in a spoon
and pour it down the lamb. After the
lamb is a few days old and strong
enough to follow it's mother, they may
be turned in the lot with the other
ewes and lambs. The feed now should
be increased and of such a nature as
to produce a large flow of milk. One
should have a variety of feed, so as to
make a change every day or two. Oats,
bran. corn chop, with a little oil meal,
make a good grain ration.-Ex.

a thing that they believe conserves

We have heard a great deal about
the various villainous compounds for
making butter out of casein, but we
hardly expected that they would be
purchased to any great extent. Re-
ports, however, from some of the
western states, particularly Minneso-
ia, indicate that they have had quite
an extensive sale and that the pur-
chasers Of the chemicals have been
pushing their products on some of the
large butter markets Of the country.
Some Of the Minnesota produce ex-
changes have taken up the matter and
have notified the makers that If any
more of the so-called butter Is put on
the market they will be prosecuted to
the full extent of the law. 1t was
found that in some cases almost half
Of this product was water and casein.
1t is truly surprising that some men
will do all in their power to help ruin
their own market because they see to
themselves a temporary advantage.

Canada is rapidly taking a position
as a producer of dairy products for
export that she bids fair to be able
to hold. The energetic action of the
Canadian government both in protect
ing the quality of such products and in
assisting exports has created an en-
thusiasm that is not found On this
side of the line. Yet if we could in
duce all men to be honest We need not
fear the measures the Canadian au-
thorities are taking, but with so many
firms in the United States making but
ter and cheese of doubtful character
the Canadians seem able to greatly OBJ
struct our progress in securing for
eign markets. Not only so, but we
may expect to see Canada successfully
invade u own home markets.
Some of the magistrates in England
are rather severe on people that are
caught violating the oleomargarine
act. Recently a countrywoman fixed
up some oleo in the form of butter
and sold it to a shopwoman.
The latter sold it to her customers
and thus it got into the hands of the
inspectors. AS soon as she was in
formed of the character of the product
she was selling the shopwom-
an told the source of her
supply and did all in her power to
convict the guilty person. The latter
was fined $50. The judges expressed
their sympathy with the shopwoman
but fined her 10 shillings, evidently as
a caution to herself and others. Some
Of u English contemporaries are in
dignant over the matter, as they be-
lieve the shopwoman was entirely in
nocent, and deny the right of the
judges to levy even a small fine in
such cases.
We have heard a great deal about
the effects on the flavor of butter OF
pasteuriZing the milk or cream. 1t
was said that this process left a taste
In the butter that was Objectionable to
the consumer. 1t now appears that
this fact is likely to be of value rath-
er than otherwise. Reports from
Sweden indicate that the purchasers OF
Swedish butter are in some cases find
Ing that this kind of butter sells bet
ter than the other kind, for the con
sumers regard it as a proof that the
milk has been properly ~pasteurized
Sooner or later the same idea will ex-
tend to England and America. Some
people prefer the cooked flavor any
way, and with the others it is largely
a matter of education. When this be-
comes the case no can argue
against pasteurizing. 1t is not a diff,
cult matter to educate people to like

are stored in that city. Six of the
great cold storage plants have an ag-

about 1853, 000, 900 eggs. This is said to
be ESQ 900 cases more than last year

Quality for Market.-It does not fol-
low because a fowl seems to be of good
size and nicely grown that it is mar
ketable. The three-months-old chick
en- may have a big frame, and the MAX
ing of a good table bird, but unless it
carries flesh only disappointment will
accrue when the account for sales
comes in from your market man. The
most certain way of fattening the
young chicks is to shut them up in
properly constructed coops, for fifteen
or twenty days and feed them every
three hours, the earlier in the morn
ing the first meal is given the better.
Their diet should consist of buck
wheat meal or corn meal, mixed with
milk to the consistency of crumbly
dough, and a little crude tallow can
be added with advantage. Give milk
if it is plentiful.-EX.

A Fair Hatch.-No doubt some de-
sire to know what a fair hatch" is,
and in answer to inquiries in regard
to what may be expected, we will say
that seven chicks from thirteen eggs
is considered a fair hatch. No breeder
can guarantee his eggs to hatch, as
that is beyond his knowledge. The best
he can do is to send eggs from strong,
vigorous birds. Much of the difficulty
is with the buyers who, suppose be-
cause a hen sits well, the eggs must
hatch, when, in fact, some hens do not
create sufficient heat from their bodies
for that purpose.-Ex.

What Shall We Do.

A serious and dangerous disease prevails
in this country, dangerous because so decep-
tive. 1t comes on so slowly yet surely that it
is often firmly seated before we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is, First,
Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back,
lumbago, frequent desire to
urinate often with a burning sensation, the
flow of urine being copious or scant with
strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy
pain in the abdomen low down between the
navel and the water passage, increasing de-
sire to urinate, with scalding sensation in
passing, small quantities being passed with
difficulty sometimes necessary to draw it
with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has
formed, it will prove dangerous if neglected.
The Third stage is Bright's Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that DIR.
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered a Remedy famous
for its marvellous cures of the most distressing
cases and known as DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
1t is sold by all druggists.

great discovery, Swamp Root, sample bottle

GENERAL FUNST0N'S STATE PRIDE.
Kansas Can Be Found ''in the Victn-
ity of the Band wagon,

hausaS Chn Be round I'm the Ntc1n-
ity of the Band Wagon"
Kansas City, May 11.-Under date
of Stanford University, Cal, The Star
prints excerpts from a letter from
Brigadier General Frederick Funston,
whose brilliant work with the Twen-
tieth Kansas regiment in the Philip
pines has won him fame, to Professor
S. L. Kellogg, a fellow student in the
Kansas State university. In his letter,
which is dated April TO- the Kansan
gives the first intimation so far made
by him regarding a political career.
He says:
81 cannot think there is much in the
talk about doing the handsome thing
by me. Politically the rank and file
of the Republican party might be will
ing, but how about the bosses? There
are mighty few offices that l would
have, and the one or two In the gift
Of the people of Kansas l have not the
gall to ask for"
General Funston apparently remem-
bers some of the criticisms in connec-
tion with his Cuban campaign when he
says: Now have proven a dozen
times at the risk of my life that l
am not fake, and it is his main hope
that his record in the Philippines may
satisfy the former critics. Continuing
General Funston mentions some of the
battles in which he and his men en-
gagged in in the Philippines, saying:
1--WE had a number of good stiff
fights, in which all of the troops be-
haved splendidly and carried every
thing before them. Kansas can always
be counted on out here to take a place
in the vicinity of the band wagon"

THE MOLlNeuN CASE.
His Counsel VIII Again Take It Go the
Grand Jury.


New York, May 11.-There was
long argument in the case of Roland
.. Molineux, charged with assault with
intent to kill Harry Cornish, before
Justice Jerome in the court of special
sessions yesterday. Barlow S. Weeks,
counsel for Molineux, contended that
inasmuch as the grand jury had passed
upon the identical points at issue JUS
tice Jerome had no jurisdiction. Then
Mr.. Weeks announced that he was
ready for trial, and the district attor-
ney stated that he also was ready.
After further deliberation Mr.. Weeks
stated that he would waive examina-
tion and ask Justice Jerome to fix bail.
The Justice said that in waving exam
ination the case was taken out of his
hands and was in the hands of the
grand jury, and he refused to fix or ac-
cept any hail.
Mr.. Weeks then stated that he would
offer no bail, but that he would take
the matter before the grand jury at
once. 1t is expected that, inasmuch as
the grand jury refused to find an in
dictment against MolIneux in the first
instance, it will again fail to indict
him.
