too inconstant to be depended upon.
There is a regular hair harvest, just
as regular as the wheat crop. In fact,
it is more to be depended upon, as

Scores of hair traders walk up and
down the village streets, their shears
dangling from their belts, and ex-

girls let down for their inspection. If
bargain is struck the hair is cut and
the money paid on the spot.
These girls have fine hair and can
raise more than one crop. A woman's
hair may grow to the length of six

PRESERVING MILK BY FREEZING.
Can BE Kept an Indefinite Length OF
Time.

Can Be Kept an Indefinite Length Of
Time.
The ocean steamers all serve ice
cream at dinner and buy a supply for
the round trip in New York. The
same is true of clans and oysters.
They stow the shellfish away in a
tank which is half full of rocks and
seaweed. They draw off all the water
every morning and refill the tank with
a hose from the sea, so that it is per-
fectly easy to keep them in good con-
dition for several weeks. They keep
Holsters in the same way.
Ice cream is more difficult to handle.
1t takes about eighteen hundred
pounds for the round trip for a pas
senger list Of 25O. 1t is put up in
cubes of one quart each, which are
wrapped in oiled paper. The boxes
are then slowed away in tin cans or
chests which hold enough for a single
dinner. These are sealed and piled up
in the refrigerator, where the temper
ature is kept even the whole year
around. The steward tells me that
ice cream that is left over from one
voyage is used on the next. He has
known it to keep in good condition for
two or three months.
In Denmark some one has discover
ed a process by which milk can be
preserved In a similar manner by
freezing it into blocks, and the process
is said to be a great success. Fresh
milk in cans cannot be kept longer
than forty-eight hours without losing
something of its flavor, but it is claim
ed that milk frozen by the new pro
cess may not only be preserved an in
definite length of time if kept in an
even temperature, but is entirely free
from disease germs, as if it had been
boiled.
A company has been formed at
Copenhagen with capital of $4,000
to perfect this process and erect a
plant capable of turning out 10000
pounds a day, which can be shipped
to any part of the world in vessels
that have a refrigerator capacity.
