The Saturday nights electric
storm was a terrific one, and we
don't remember of ever witnessing
a more vivid display of lightning or
sharper claps of thunder. The re-
porter had started home, and was
overtaken at the corner of 9TH and
Maple, and spent an hour under the
friendly shelter at Munday's store,
and several times he thought he
had been touched" by the fluid
lightning. He was in position
where he could see the lightning
run on the ground and dart through
the air like it was looking for some
thing to hit, and the reporter now
consoles himself that he was Sc
small the lightning could not find
him. Several trees were struck in
the city and torn badly during the
storm, and all the branches were
converted into rivers. The rain anC
storm for an hours time will com
pare to the one we had the night OF
the Paragon saloon disaster. We
hope we will never get caught out
in another such storm.

assessed taxes in the state has
been collected. This improvement
over old conditions is due to better
times. The people have more
money because crops has been bet

Money is therefore more plentiful

CULTIVATING PEARS.
a Subject Upon which Little Unanim-
ity Seems to Exist Among
Frait Growers.

/ believe it is conceded on all hands
that all young pear trees should be
cultivated, at any rate up to the point
where fruiting begins. Here cuitiva-
tors differ; some preferring to con-
tinue stirring the soil with the plow or
spade several times during the grow
ing season while others would sow to
grass, and top-dress with manure dur
ing the winter, while still some others
would allow the trees to take their
chances without manuring. In the
opinion of the writer, good Judgment
would determine a modification of
these practices according to circum-
stances, the end to be gained being
yigor sufficient to develop strong,
healthy fruit buds, and carry to matur-
ity fair crop of fruit without an ex-
cessive stimulation of wood growth,
which tends to make the tree cast its
fruit and become more susceptible to
attacks of the blight. In this, soil and
variety must be considered together.
For instance, standard Bartlett on
rich or strong soil, if highly cultivated,
is exceedingly liable to blight; on a
poor soil, uncultivated, it would not
have vigor sufficient to perfect full
crop of fruit; per contra. a standard
Seckel would be benefited by generous
cultivation, on fair soil, and is com
parative failure on poor soil, even with
moderate cultivation, and completely
SO Il uncultivated. Right here. the
seasons, too, exert a manifest influence

face of young and tender bark extend
ing even into the accumulated damp,
and sometimes wet, mold within. The
effect of the close contact of constant
~ moist substance on the young, ten
der bark was that at one point 1t
caused the surface to form callous and
actually induced the throwing out OF
roots into the mold, kind Of air-layer-
ing, as it might be termed. Adven-
titious buds had also started into up
ward growth, with the result that, at
the time the writer saw the tree, there
were several poplar shoots, with roots
of their OWE, growing out of the hol-
lew space, as shown in the engraving
Thus the parent tree was nursing
within its own bosom two direct Off
spring from itself, in fact, part of
itself, and deriving sustenance from the
vitals of the tree, which had been
turned into plant food. 1t is possible
that leaves had at times lodged in the
opening of the tree and added their
share to the plant food that later sus-
tanned the sprouts illustrated. What
the future of these shoots will be is
not certain. 1t cannot be possible for
the roots to make any considera BILE
growth in their very limited quarters,
and no doubt they will coon die. As
the young shoots really proceed from
the tree, they will continue to be sup
ported as regular branches. On the
whole, the case struck the writer as be-
ing so remarkable as to be worthy OF
mention in these columns

BORN AT THE HOSPITAL.
nearly Two Babies n Day Come Into
the World at the Cook County
Institution.

The grimness of the morgue at the
big Cook county hospital, to which
the public is admitted, if it so desires,
when it goes out to visit that institu-
tiop, is offset by another department,
TO which, however, the everyday sight
seer is not allowed entrance. So it is
that the average visitor, after taking
In all the wards, on the 900 beds of which
he sees some suffering mortal, and
then concludes his inspection by
glimpse into the morgue, goes away
with an impression that death and
sickness are about all that are to be
found in the great pile of buildings
out on Harrison street. But he has
not been afforded an opportunity to
see the ward where there come into
the world others who will take the
places of those who are sent to the
morgue-the maternity ward. There
IRE months when the two men who
are employed by Cook county for that
duty bear from the wards to the morgue
as many as 100 bodies of patients whom
skill and the best of nursing have failed
TO save from the reaper. Their wheeled
bier has worn a smooth track from the
house of the dead, which faces Polk
street, long block away.
The maternity ward of the county
hospital occupies the second and third
floors of the extreme west wing of the
series of buildings which look out upon
Harrison street. The two rooms occu-
py in floor space about 4OxSO feet each
Three doors admit to the ward, one
from each floor. They are the only
doors in the buildings, save those lead
ing to the quarters of the officials and
doctors, and some of the operating
rooms, through which the public may
not pass during visiting hours. While
those who die in the hospitals are in
excess of those born there, the differ
ence is not alarmingly great, when it
is considered that the primary purpose
of a hospital looks more to death than
to life. Still, there are ushered into
life in this ward about 40 babes month,
or nearly 500 year. 1t is trifie hard

vision of cases is regulated by the rule
that prevails generally throughout the
hospital. Out of every five cases the
eclectic doctor gets one, the homeo-

been able to figure out that it made any

MAKING EXPORT CHEESE.
How to Produce n Uniformly High
and Profitable Quality That
VIII Stand Shipping.

In an address to California dairy
men, Z. H. Hogeman said: Cheese for
export that will stand shipping can be
made in the following way: Take good,
sweet milk and heat it to Sc degrees
Fahrenheit, have the rennet test at co
seconds before adding the rennet.
Then add rennet enough TO coagulate
the milk in about so minutes, using
from two to three ounces according to
strength of rennet, and cutting when
firm; stir the vat gently at first until
the curd firms up. Cook to 100 degrees,
then stir vat every Is minutes to keep
curd in granular shape, till curd has
developed one-eighth inch acid, when
they should be run off, which usually
takes from one to one and one-half
hours. The curd is then ready to be
placed on curd rack and strainer cloth
and when matted down cut in square
blocks and turn over every Is minutes.
If gas holes form in curd the pieces can
be piled two or three deep; this will
press out the gas and will fatten out
the gas holes in the curd. When an
inch of acid has developed and the curd
shows meaty texture it is ready to
mill. When the curd is milled let it fall
onto the bottom of vat. If kept on racks
after it is cut too much moisture would
be lost and cheese would perhaps be
dry. Keep the curd stirred till ready
to salt, and salt the curd about one-half
to three-quarters of an hour after mill
ing, using two and half pounds of salt
per thousand pounds of milk. Give the
salt a chance to dissolve well. which
also takes from one-half to three-quar-
ters of an hour, then put to press about
so degrees. A point of vast Importance
is to have the cheese well pressed and
ell of the same size. If tainted milk is
used it should be treated somewhat
differently from the above, but remem-
Der that the best cheese cannot be made
from sour or tainted milk. A soft,
used in this market, requires absolute
ly sweet milk without taint. Heat to
IS degrees. Rennet test should be 120
seconds. Set the milk at So degrees,
using the usual amount of rennet.
Cook to LOG to los degrees. Cut when
firm and run whey off at one-eighth
inch acid. Use about two pounds of
salt per 1000 pounds of milk. This curd
can either be worked in The granular
form or with curd mill and put to press
at SIS degrees. If pure, sweet milk is
not used and is tainted, gas holes will
form and the cheese will likely swell
up and roll off the shelves,

SEEDLESS MELONS.
A Much-Advertiscd Theory AbOul
Their Production Fails to Work
When Given Trial.

\ good many varieties of fruits have
been grown so long from cuttings that
they have become seedless. We have
Eow apples and pears that are almost
seedless, specimens frequently being
found that are altogether so, and seed
less grapes aud oranges are not at all
uncommon. The banana has no seeds
or at best only rudimentary ones, and
the pineapple is a seedless fruit. AL
this must have taken long years of Sc
lection, whether it was done intelli-
gently or by chance, and all seedisss
fruits are valued because they are
usually of superior sorts.
\ story is going the rounds that
melon grower has discovered a method
of producing seedless melons. This is
to cover the joints of the vines until
roots start from them and then cut
them off at the roots, leaving the sec
oudary roots to support the vine. This
sounds quite nice. and the only trouble
with it is that it isn't true. If we could
produce seedless melons in this way il
would be a valuable discovery, but Eav-
ing tried it we found the melons had
the usual number of seeds. as usual in
the sweetest part of the melon
