TRAMPs AS ROBBERS.
Bankers Insurance Company Thinks
1t Has Discovered Perpetrators
of Numerous Recent Crimes.

The Bankers Mutual Casualty COM
pany, of Des Moines, thinks it has dis
covered the perpetrat prs of the nu-
merous bank robberies that have been
taking place all over the western
country recently. 1t. appears that
most of the work is being done by
tramps and not by experts. These
men choose some small place. where
the bank has an oh-fashioned safe
and crack it with nitroglycerin. The
Investigations have been conducted by
detectives in the employ of the Cas-
ualty company, and acting on this
theory tramps have been searched in
most of the large cities of the mid
die west, and many of them have
been found to be carrying r.itro-
glycerin. Out of 10 convictions of
bank robbers that have been secured
recently II have been "bums." A num-
Der OF the convicted tramps gained
their knowledge of the use of the ex-
plosive while employed on the Chi

Butter C0I0riRG..

Because rich June grass butter is yell
low the public thought it could secure
the same kind of butter the year round,
says c. S. Walters in The American
CultivatOr The dealers. to satisfy
this demand made their butter color
ing at first Of aniline coal tar dye,
which is poisonous and injurious to the
system. There was no other dye that
would color the butter satisfactorily.
There is some of this injurious butter
color on the market today, and it is
even defended by some OF the manu-
factUrers as harmless. Their reason
ING is something after this style: \
{c3SpOOrfUl Of the c0lOring VIII be suf-
ficient to color 20 quarts of cream, and
this cHc"nt Of cream viii make ten
pounds of batter. On the average 4
man viii eat only ten pounds CT butter
in 4: many weeks, therefore the
amount OF poison he will take into his
system Will be too small to notice. But
this reasoning is false for The simple
reason that the &CCumul& i've effects
Of poison in the stomach may take
danger is great. PoiSons q any kind
should be eliminated from any dairy
products, and where butter col0rs are
known to be made from these coal tar
products OF poisonous nature they
should be rejected, Our state laws
should absolutely prohibit their sale
and use. But, on the other hand. the
use of the nOnp0isCnOus, vegetable de-
rived col0rings is perfectly legitimate.
The cOl0ring material, instead OF being
injurious and dangerous to the health,
is really Of benefit to us and can be
looked upon as a food It gives to the
butter rich, creamy look and en-
hances its flavor. The use of these
harmless butter colors should be as
general among the dairymen who make
their own butter as among the cream
cries The consumers demand the col
Ored butter, and it should be supplied
to them so long as no harm is being
done. There would be more demand
for dairy butter if the makers employ
ed more of the arts and skill of the pro-
fessional creamery makers. They have
studied the markets we'll and can read
the needs Of the public.

EASY LIFE IN NICARAGUA.
When the Family Is Broke, the Wife
Digs a Little Gold.


Digs n Little Gold.
when I was in the blanche district,
in Nicaragua said q visitor who is
largely interested in mining in Central
America, Il had an opportunity of see
ing how the lazy natives tap natures
till when they need some small change.
Near our camp by the river was a
hut occupied by typical Honduranian
family, consisting of husband and
wife, grandfather and grandmother
and a dozen or so of assorted children.
The only one of the crowd who did
anything except rest and smoke was
the wife. At intervals of perhaps a
week she would sally out with the
family tinpan, erstwhile used for cook
ing, and proceed to an old placer dig
ging Oh the river bank. There she
would squat. throw a few gourdfuls
of dirt into the pan. fill it with W.T.
ter and begin the usual circular motion
of gold washing.
"She was very skillful and would
keep little sheet of dirty water spray
ing over the edge like a miniature
hausted, a few spoonfuls of sand
would be left in the bottom of the pan,
and, spreading it out thin with bit Of
stick, she would so over it grain by
grain, looking for color Whenever
she saw a speck of gold she moistened
the stick on her tongue and picked up
the particle by adhesion. Each bit Of
the precious metal was stored away in
a quill, plugged with clay at the ends,
and l have known her to take out as
much as a quarter of an ounce in the
course of one day.
Usually her limit was about So,
and when she got that she stopped
Then the head of the house would
arise languidly and start for the near
est store, II miles away. Sometimes he
would trade the whole amount for
whisky; but, as a rule. he brought back
tobacco, salt, meal or calico.
'"There are hundreds of native fami-
lies who live in exactly that manner
in blanche. Sometimes the woman
will be lucky enough to strike rich
pocket that will yield dollar or more
a pan, but they never dream of wash
ing it out at once and getting a stake.
1t simply means that they can secure
their usual amount with less work.

MILK CANCELLATION.
Small Differences May Bring Success

Small Differences May Bring Success
Or Failure.
Before the meeting Of the French
Academic des Sciences a paper by DR..
Pages was read relating to the var1a-
tons in the latent period necessary for
the coagulatiOn of milk-that is to say,
the time which elapses between the adj
dition Of the substances which cause
coagulation and the qualification of
the mass.
Under normal conditions, and conse-
quently outside the sphere Of adultera-
ton, the period varies to a considera'
BILE degree. AS regards animals OF the
same species, the causes OF the varla-
bility may be due to the animal itself,
or to it's hygienic surroundings, or to
it's food, or to influences acting on the
milk after it has been drawn. AS re-
CARDS the influence of age, the milk of
a young animal will coagulate in a
shorter period than that OF an adult
animal. In other words, young milk
coagulates sooner than old milk, and
this difference increases on boiling.
In general recently secreted milk also
coagulates more quickly than milk
which has remained some time in the
milk bag. Similarly the milk which is
drawn last coagulates sooner than that
which is first obtained.
Regarding the effect of food Stuffs
on the subject in question, there are
some which produce milk of extreme
sensibility to the action of coagulating
substances. Such are many artificial
foods, beet root and bran, but especial
ly lucern, and it's aftermath even more
than it's first cut. On the other hand,
other foods have the opposite effect.
Such are many species of meadow
grass and hay and forage of fruites-
cent or arborescent nature.
To exemplify our foregoing remarks
the following instance is given: Two
Normandy COWS calve at the same Pc
Rod One COW is fed in the Brie dis
trict near Paris on green lucern and
bran and the other on the fine heritage
of the permanent pasture Of Norman
dy. The result is considerable differ
ence in the latent period Of coagulation
of the two lots Of milk obtained.
Skilled Normandy dairy farmers have
tried. without success, to make Brie
cheese at home even when those cOag-
ulating substances which are success
fully employed in the Brie district have
been transferred to Normandy without
delay and used under the most favor
able conditions. The milk would not
coagulate sufficiently quickly at the
relatively low tempera ture. which is
one of the essentials in the manufac
ture Of Brie cheese. The material, for
instance. which easily coagulates the
evening milk within a few hours of
Sucy, near Paris, will require the whole
night to have the same effect at vii
lage near Cherbourg, with the result
that spontaneous Modification acts
more or less on the milk before it cOag
ulates.

MONEY In COWS.
How Dairying increases the
Value of Land.


In a recent address before Georgia
dairymen L. G.. Wade called attention
the total canceling of fertilizer bills
and the consequent building up Of agri-
cultural values. Speaking Of the eX-
pertinent in Wisconsin, which had
reached q condition of agricultural des-
peratiOn, Mr.. Wade went on to show
that in 1870 in the leading counties Of
Wisconsin now devoted to dairyinS
land had deprecated in value until the
taXgatherer and mortgage were alb
SOrbing large parts of the state. Gov
ernor Hoard called in that year con-
ventiOn. Six men met and formed the
Wisconsin Dairymen's association. Her
soil had run down so that when the
counties raised wheat the average was
down to seven bushels per acre. Now
it is 80; never q pound Of fertilizer
bought, only the byproduct of the cow
Land then scarcely salable sold for
taxes or only fetched 81 to Sc or So
per acre. Now, according to the report
Of the secretary of state, ShebOygan
county land sells at an average of SAT
per acre, Jefferson county Sal. Wau-
kesha county $54, Walworth county
$50, while Dane county, much better
naturally than any Of these, but hav-
ing little dairy industry, sells for only
500, and the farmers of jefferson coun-
ty alone had last year nearly 100000
on deposit from their dairy business.
Based upon these facts, Mr. Wade
said to his assembled Georgia listen
ers: Il see no reason why you should
not at least equal this. You have that
best Of market, the home market,
which for number Of years at least
doubles the average Wisconsin market.
[ am told by gentlemen in position to
know that the south imports hundreds
of tons of butter and cheese from the
northwest and that the city of Atlanta
alone pays tribute to that dairy section
for butter and cheese in the neighbour
hood of $250,000 annually. Are you
farmers Of Georgia going to submit to
this? 1t lies in your hands. Adopt
the motto, Millions for defense, but
not one cent for tribute'-that is, buy
COWS, study up the question, build
creameries and cheese factories. Pass
state laws fOrbidding that disreputa-
bic product OleOmargarine from flaunt-
