Some interesting investigations have
been made on the green color for which
some Italian oheeses are so remarkable,
says the London Dairy. This color is
not, al has sometimes been supposed,
due to the action of bacteria, but Ia u
consequence Of the presence Of copper
in the cheese. To produce o good Par
mesan cheese the milk must reach
high degree Of Gcidity, and, while wait
ing for this proper pitch Of acidity to
be acquired, the milk in some parts Of
Italy ia kept standing in copper vessels.
During this period Of repose the milk
takes up considerable quantities Of cop
per--indeed ii is customary to estimate
Che degree Of acidity attained by tho
milk by noting the gradual disappear
ance Of the brightness OF the highly pol.
ished metallic surface. DR., Mariani has
examined S6 samples Of green Parmesan
cheese from various places and hes
found that to about every two pounda
Of cheese there 10 present from g TO
9.8 grains Of copper. That this metal 10
solely responsible for the green color 10
evident from the fact that IN the south
OF Italy cheese manufactured on the
same principle, but in which the milk
stands In tin lined instead Of copper
vessels, does NOS acquire any green color.

summer Pruning Of Raapberrioa.

Summer pruning Of raspberries at the
Wisconsin station increased the number
Of canes per crown in both red and
black raspberries. This was more no.
ticeable where both the main shoots
and the laterals were pinohed back than
where only the main shoots were pinch
cd. The wisdom Of summer pruning Is
questioned, since the number of canes is
usually too large to permit Of the best
development of fruit. No noticeable in
crease in yield of fruit was obtained by
either method Of summer pruning, but
there was o decrease where both the
main shoots and laterals were pruned,

HEATING GREENHOUSES
LRrge Cast Iron Pipes Versus small
Wrought Iron Ones.

WhV1hMN AEWM Whe1s
The question Of large cast iron pipes
versus small wrought iron ones for hot
water in q small greenhouse has been
studied at the Rhode Island station and
reported upon as follows:
The piping consisted Oh equal lengths
Of 4 inch cast iron pipe and Of Is
finch wrought iron pipe. The large pipes
had therefore 2 2-S times as much radi
ating surface as the small ones. The
two kinds Of pipe were used on alter.
nate days throughout the test, the
change from one to the other being
made at noon. AT each change the wa
ter was drawn from the heater and
pipes, they were reflled with cold wa
ter, and the fire was started anew. The
results show that as regards economy Of
fuel there was no peTCeptible difference
between the two systems. Had the radi-
ating surface in the two cases been
equal the results might have been diff
ferent.
The large pipes we're found to cool of
very much moye slowly than the small
ones In three hours after the fire was
drawn the large pipes had cooled down
on an average about 20 degrees F.,
while the small ones had cooled about
100 degrees r. Probably on account OF
this difference in Fapidity Of cooling
the large pipes maintained the tempera-
ture Of the house better toward morn
ing, when no care was given to the
heating. When the large pipes were
used, the average temperature Of the
house at 6 p m. was IL degrees +.
higher, at 8 p. m. l.. degrees F. higher,
at 10 p. IN. degrees f. higher and at
9 a. m. S.5 degrees +. higher than when
the small pipes were used. This, though
important with small houses, is much
less 80 with large ones, where man
may be proftably employed to attend to
the heating at night.
A point In favor Of the small pipes
was the greater rapidity with which
they could be heated up. After starting
the fire it took nearly three hours to
heat the large pipes to their usual tenn
perature and only 1S hours to heat the
small ones. This difference would doubt
less have been somewhat less marked IL
the total length of the small pipes had
been increased until their combined
Eadiating surface was equivalent to that
of the large pipes, for there would then
have been less difference between the
quantities Of water to be heated In the
two cases.
The cost per square foot Of radiating
surface is not very different in the two
cases. AS to ease of manipulation, the
wrought iron pipes can be readjusted to
suit new conditions very much moro
readily than the cast iron pipes.

Aphids, or Plant Lice.

Aphids are sucking insects, taking
their food through slender tube which
is thrust deep into the tissue of the
plant. For this reason any arsenical
poison that may be deposited on the
surface of the plant will do them no
harm. They will thrust their. beaks
clear through the poison into the plant
and will suck the sap from beneath the
surface. TO kill these little robbers it
is necessary 20 use contact poisons, such
as kerosene emulsion, whale oil soap,
tobacco water, pyrethrum, or some ap-
plication which kills by closing up the

THE SCHOOL BOOK TRUST.

The people of Arkansas are now
having an object lesson on the WAYS
and means employed by trusts in
efrecting their ends. The legisla-
ture, at its last session, enacted a
county school text book law which
directs that the common school dis
tricts shall vote upon the question
of uniformity of school books on the
third Saturday of May of each year.
If this vote is found favorable to
uniformity, the county court ap-
points two citizens of the county,
the state superintendent two teach
ers of the county, and these, to-
gether with the county examiner,
compose the school book board.
This board, when duly organized,
has power to contract with book
companies for text books on the
following subjects, viz: English
grammar geography, history of
Arkansas and of the United States,
civil government of Arkansas aud
the United States, physiology and
hygiene, and elementary algebra
for uniform use in the common
school districts of the county for a
period of six years from the date of
their adoption.
There are many CouRties in the
state that favored uniformity of
books because of the outrageously
high prices hitherto prevailing, and
it is in these counties that the book
trust is bending its energies to pre-
vent the people from ridding them
selves of the high prices on school
books Coaxing, hattery, bribery
and intimidation are some of the
methods used. County judges have
been retained to exert their indu.
ence upon the boards which they
had a hand in creating; some couu-
ty examiners, in violation of the
statutes and contrary to their oaths
of Office, are actually in the EN-
pIoyment of the trust, and local at
tornys are paid handsomely, to use
their influence to further the
scheme,
Every honest citizen of these
counties should see to it, that those
who fill these public stations, shall
do their duty honestly, and if this
is not done, then hold them forever
responsible for their unfaitbfulness.

In this aye of theatrical produc-
tions plays are as numerous as the
autumnal leaves. Some of these
are happily designated, others are
not. To the former class should be
relegated julie Walters comic play,
"Side Tracked" which comes to

"Side Tracked" has found favor
everywhere since its production
some years ago, and from the man
ner in which it is being patronized
this season, proves its worth as a

The play is said to be magnifcently
staged this season, and will, no
