economical and satisfactory in many
ways to use cheap but neat boxes for
shipping, which do not have to be re-
turned, than to use the heavy and ex-
pensive trunks or chests that were so
common only a few years ago. These
latter are continually being lost and
broken, cause annoyance at both ends
of the line and require much labor for
proper cleaning (and this is too often
neglected., while the cheaper packages
have not these objections.
A correspondent Of The National
Stockman and Farmer says that if all
butter put on the market were brand
ed the quality in a very short time
would be improved, as each brand
would then stand on the merits of the
product it represents. So long as good
butter must be sold at an average
price, so as to pay the groceryman to
handle inferior grades, making the
profits on the best grades bear him
out, there is no incentive for the but
ter maker to improve her quality Of
butter. | use the pronoun advisedly,
for the great bulk of butter is yet made
by the farmers wives. The person
who makes a really good article need
not fear detriment to his trade to
offer his product for sale under a pri-
vate brand.
One butter maker who packed good
quality of butter in firlins was allow
ed by her marketman l cent extra on
the pound for simply writing the fami-
~ initial in blue on the lid of each
firkin. The customers soon learned
the handwriting and knew it represent
ed a good quality of butter. Another
woman molds her butter into pound
blocks and is allowed by the market
man 2 cents extra per pound. She
uses a homemade butter mold, rec
tangular box, which makes the block
5 inches long, 3 inches wide and
2 inches deep, containing 80 cubic
inches. The mold has a loose bottom,
on which is carved an unassuming
fern leaf, but which on careful scruti
ny is the family initial. There is a
the outside of this bottom piece. This
is lowered to the depth of a quarter
inch. The fern leaf is lowered scarcely
a quarter inch. When the block Of
butter is finished, the outside band
serves as a protector for the fern leaf
when it becomes necessary to pile one
block on top of the other.

Frauds In Butter.

Every pound Of oleomargarine, OF
paraffined butter, or new process but
ter, or renovated butter, or of any 9th
er nOnbutter kind Of alleged butter
sold and eaten displaces a pound OF
real butter, says the New York Farm
er. Not only does it displace real but
ter, but it also breaks down the price
Of the real butter. In this direct, pos
tive way the fraud grease buffers in
fict a double injury upon the farmers.
The fraud greases swell the visible
supply, while the demand is a fixed
factor. The tenth pound appearing in
supply when the demand is for zine
pounds will compel practically the sell
ing of the entire ten pounds for the
value Of the nine pounds. 1t is the
double effect Of these nauseOus, danger
Gus, unWholesome, indigestible frauds
that should appeal to the farmers and
cause them to unite in demanding eX-
IRENE severity in laws to punish the
adulterators and imitators. Let no
false sentiment lead the farmers to look
with leniency upon these frauds. Bo-
gus foods are a curse to the community
in every way-in health, in money, in
morals, in business. Down with the
frauds, the humbugs and the poison
ers. The chicken thief, the forger, the
perjurer. the embezzler and the high
wayman are bad, but they are angels
of light and models of honesty and
philanthropy in comparison with the
demons who make an insidious attack
upon the community with the weapon
of poisoned foods Of all sorts.

LIKE THE LITTLE ONES.
Men, as a Rule, Are Fond of the Soci-
ETY. of Children.


There's a very general idea abroad
in the land that men don't care to
board in a house where there are chill
dren," said one of the sterner sex yes
terday, "but that is, l believe, great
mistake, just as it is an error to imag-
inc that men generally don't like the
little ones. No doubt there are a few
crusty old bachelors In the world who
would be horribly annoyed by patter-
ing feet. and shrill little voices in the
halls and on the stairs. but must con-
fess 1 like to hear these noises, and /
find by questioning a number of my
friends-all young, unmarried men
that they do also. The children give
sort of homy atmosphere that's very
pleasant to even the most comfortless
places.
Taking one thing with another, [
believe men are fonder of children
than women are anyhow. What I
mean is that more men than women
are fond Of them. | know plenty Of
the gentler sex who wouldn't think Of
going to a boarding house where
youngsters were admitted, and | know
just as many men who seek out those
places and obtain certain amount Of
comfort and satisfaction in their lone
ly lives in making friends with the
youngsters and spending valuable time
repairing sundry broken toys or telling
wonderful stories in which giants fig
ure to an amazing extent.
ga child's affection is very delight
full thing, and most men feel f1attered
to be the object Of even a mild liking
on the part Of the small tyrants. There
are half dozen little ones in the house
where l board, and | am the familiar
friend of every one Of them. It's a
very delightful and absorbing &C
quaintance, and I'm fast developing
into a story teller of such marked abil-
ity that I'll make a fortune in this
way, no doubt, after awhile. "-Detroit

CONTINUOUS MILKING.
Difference Between ADAMS Cow and
the Modern Dairy Type.


the Modern Dairy Type.
The dairy COW of the present is a
very artificial animal, says J. S. Wood
ward in The National Stockman. Adj
ANS COW gave milk only about four
months in q year and then went dry
and got fat. The further the dairy
cow has varied from the original the
more persistent she is as milker and
the less likely to get fat. But in breed
ing one tendency in we breed another
out, so doubtless the continuous mixer
is less hardy and able to rustic for
herself than was Adams COW. So if
we would milk her with no let up she
must be properly cared for and fed.
There is not the least doubt that a
cow can be so fed as to stimulate milk
production to such an extent that she
will become very poor and even rob
her prospective offspring. On the con-
trary, she can be fed so as to become
far too fat and still cause a decrease in
the milk yield. Either of these would
not be conducive to the health of the
COW. Neither is it healthy for a thin
skinned, thin haired, nervous cow,
with scarcely a pound of fat on her
whole carcass, to stand out in the
snow, shivering on the lee side of a
barbed wire fence.
When properly housed, fed and wa
tered, the milk flow is safe indicator
of what is best for the cows health
and that of her offspring. If the cow
is a persistent mixer. she cannot be
dried up without having those foods
which make milk withheld and others
substituted. This, of course, causes a
change in the habit Of the COW and di-
gestion of her food and in my expert
ence and observation always Injuries
the COW. Better by far feed the COW
plenty of those elements needed for
milk production along with those hav-
ing the necessary elements for the pro-
duction of the young animal and let
her give the milk.

will be played out in a tactical sense
when she is or years old. But if
she has had a fair showing from her

Some cows will not lay on fat while
in full flow of milk, and these it pays
to feed all they can digest, but some
are so sensitive that they are easily
overfed and will be ''off their feed" for
a few days. and the milk flow will drop

KILLED BY 4 MINISTER.
Dispute Over n Fenc" Leads to Murder
 at Hamburg, sc.

Charleston. s. C., May 4.--Rev. W. F. Johnson, pastor of the Baptist church at Bamberg, S. C., to-day shot and all most instantly killed w. T, Bellinger, stenographer of this judicial district. The trouble between the two began yes terday over the painting of line fence between the premises of John R. Bellin- ger, father of the deceased. and the Bap- time it is said hot words were passed and a pistol was drawn by Bellinger.
 This morning as young Bellinger was returning from the postoffice to his fa- ther's house he met Rev Mir Johnson, armed with a double barrelled shotgun. A few words were passed, and few shots were exchanged, and young Bel finger lay dying on the ground with a smoking pistol in his right hand.
 After the shooting occurred Johnson walked quietly into his house, unhurt, and remained there until o'clock, when he went to the jail and surrendered to Sheriff Hunter As to how the affair started this morning, and as to who shot first there is considerable diversity of opinion, but it is claimed tat Belin- ger shot first, and that Johnson shot only once. Bellingers pistol had four empty chambers and he probably shot four times, twice at least after the had fallen mortally wounded. Bellinger was struck in the right side by twelve buck shot and eight small shot, which pene- trated his lungs and liver.

YOUNG LADY BICYCLIST INJURED.
Miss Nellie Bean Seriously Hurt in .
 Collision on Whitney Avenue.

A serious bicycle accident occurred last evening on Whitney avenue at the corner of Trumbull street. Miss Nellie Bean of No. 133 Bradley street, daugh- ter of the late George w. Bean, was riding along and had her head turned looking back of her. She consequently did not see another young lady rider coming in the opposite direction riding on the wrong side of the street and the two wheels crashed together. Miss Bean was thrown heavily to the pave- ment and struck on her head. She was rendered unconscious and Dr. Bishop was called to attend her. She was re- moved to her home on Bradley street and it was thought at late hour last night that she would recover.
