c. W. Sorenson. formerly chief dairy
expert to the New Zealand govern
ment, but now of Copenhagen. Den-
mark. writes to the DAIRY" (Eng.) -
follows:
Permit me to enter . protest against
the advice rendered BY Mr.. R. Gibson
among his precepts for buttermakers
printed in the March issue Of The
Dairy. I refer to the concluding SEN
tence wherein Mr.. Gibson remarks:
Always use p~reservatives in curing
your butter-it prevents injurious. dis
ease-producing microbes from attack
ing it. and makes 1t wholesome and
easily digested." Whether from .
standpoint Of good business. com
mercial morality. or public health. .
more misleading statement could not
we'll be made. In the first place pre-
servatives are not essential to the cur
ing Of good butter. especially Irish but
ter, which Is produced almost on the
spot where 1t is consumed. Not q
pound of Danish butter contains pre-
servatives. and no one will accuse
Danish butter Of not keeping well. l
myself have exported hundreds OF tons
of butter from New Zealand to the
London market, made In my own and
other factories without an ounce of
preservative Of any kind except COM
mon salt, and have received no COM
plants as to keeping qualities. In
fact, two-thirds of the butter sent from
New Zealand today Is. to the writer's
own certain knowledge, free from pro-
servatives, and the market price at
fords the most convincing proof that
butter can be successfully sent from
the Antipodes without p~reservative.
Yet we are told that English and Irish
butter. made today and eaten tomor-
row, must be preserved" with the aid
Of doubtful drugs! Then al to pre-
servatives preventing the attacks OF
Injurious disease-producing microbes
any one with the most elementary
knowledge of bacteriology. must be
aware that boric acid. which ID b
basis Of most preservatives. has no
such property. even II used In mucn
greater proportions than Is possible
in butter making. The same may be
said of any and every other ingredient
that may be employed without mark
eddy affecting the taste Of the article
treated. And finally % to preserva-
tives rendering food wholesome and
easily digested." l think that In tho
face of all the medical evidence to the
contrary, the bald assertion on the part
of the writer of the article in question
can scarcely be accepted as the most
satisfactory form Of proof.

Bisulphate Of Carbon and Tree-Root Lice
At q recent meeting Of the Ohio
State Horticultural Society. Prof.
Webster stated that he had expert
mented with bisulphate of carbon to
exterminate lice on the roots Of trees.
Invariably when he applied sufficient
bisulphate Of carbon to kill the lice the
tree also died. The professor remarked
that the ants burrow down along the
trunks of the trees. then follow the
larger roots until they arrive at the
soft and tender rootlets and there de-
posit the lice.
In regard to fumigation Prof. Web
ster remarked: Il would rather have
a certificate Of fumigation Of nursery
stock than one Of inspection" Tho
professor exhibited a model house for
fumigation. He cautioned the audi
ence to be very careful On account Of
the deadly invisible gas employed. The
hy%drocyanic gas used Is formed by
dropping potassium cyanide into sui
phuric acid and water. The moment
these two ingredients come In contact
they form an invisible deadly vapor.
The model house that the professor
exhibited was so constructed that the
danger from mixing was avoided.

Germany Doesn't Think Much of Russia

Berlin, May 10.-The Kseuz Zeitung
evidently expressing the opinion of
official circles, regarding the peace
conference, says:
Every impulse toward increased
ornaments during the present century
has come from Russia and France,
and there can be no sincere talk of dis
armament by Russia, who should be
the last power to call a congress in
the interest of humanity and to cast
the false mask away"
London, May 1.-THE Berlin CORES
pondent of the Times says:
A manifesto has been issued. sign
ed by an influential committee of men,
bers of the Reichstag and the Prussian
Diet, professors and authors, urging
that public meetings be held through
out the empire to sustain the hands of
the German commissioners at The
Hague and to insure the success Of
the conference
The Daily News publishes an inter-
view with "a distinguished diplomat"
this morning regarding the peace con-
ference and the joint high commission
for the settlement of questions in dis
pute between the United States and
Canada. He is represented as saying:
Contrary to what has been publish
ed, | am very hopeful or settlement
as to outstanding questions, which, in
deed, are already very nearly settled
except the Alaskan controversy; and,
while the United States and England
lack identical instructions for the de-
alterations at The Hague, it is highly
probable that they will take the same
line there"
