New Method o, Packing Butter.

Consul Murphy at Magdeburg
writes: Attention has been attracted in
Germany to new method Of packing
butter which has been tried with sat
isfactory results in connection with
shipments from Melbourne to Kimber-
ley. This method, which. it is said,
has already been extensively adopted
in Australia, consists in placing the
butter in box formed of six plates Of
ordinary window glass whose edges
are closed with gummed paper: the
glass box is covered with a layer of
burnt gypsum (plaster Of Paris) about
one-fifth of an inch thick, and is then
wrapped in specially prepared water
proof packing paper. AS gypsum is
a bad conductor of heat. a regular
temperature is maintained within the
glass box. At present the cases are
made of sufficient size to contain 220
pounds of butter. This idea may
prove of special value to firms in the
United States engaged in shipping but
ter and other articles to tropical coun-
tries, especially If the question as to
the proper size and construction of the
boxes be given additional considera-
ton. 1t seems likely, however. that
this system Of protecting delicate arti-
cles may be found useful even in the
home market. +.

Among

The great majority Of moonshiners

nesses of Georgia, Alabama and Ten
nessee, and here they live in condi-
tions of civilization as crude as their
ancestors, most of whom were English
fugitives from justice who reached this
country more than a century ago, says
the International Magazine. Indeed,
in many respects these descendants
have retrograded rather than ad-
vanced. Had they been surrounded
for a century by Chinese wall they
could not have been more destitute or
ignorant of the modern conveniences
and even decencies Of civilized life.
Cut of from all educational advan-
tages, they have no knowledge Of even
the rudimentary ''three rs."
It is very difficult for any outsider
to get look into the real life Of these
people, for without exception the
moonshiners are suspicious Of all
strangers, and every unfamiliar face
that comes among them is at once
suspected Of belonging to q revenue

without further attention. At short

show at all. II the posts are we'll

detract from the looks of the place.
II the posts are placed within ten feet
of each other the wire can be kept
taut without top wire. This Will
make it possible to get along with a
wire fence only four feet high.
Dogs are a great nuisance when 1t
comes to the wire fence for the poul-
try yard. It is something of prob
lem to know how to keep them from
getting under the wire. OF course If
no bones were thrown into the yard
the dogs would never develop an in
clination to go in that direction. But
since it is necessary to give the poul-
try the table scraps we must find some
way of keeping out the CANNES. Prob
ably the easiest way is to feed food of
this kind inside the poultry house,
out of sight of all creatures except
those for whom it is intended. In
any case the wire fence will need to
be fastened down to the ground. There
are various ways, only one Of which
has been practiced by the writer. This
way is to make sharp wooden pegs,
six or eight inches long, according to
kind of soil, and an inch or more in
thickness. A nail is driven into the
stake near the top and at such an
angle with the wood that it slants
quite sharply downward. The pegs
are driven into the ground at the bot
tom of the wire and the nail catches
over the bottom strand of the wire,
which is thus driven fast against the
ground. Place these pegs about two
feet apart and they will hold the fence
tightly. OF course the frosts Of each
winter will loosen them to some ex-
tent, and they will have to be in
spected each year. II any of our read
ers has superior plan, let us hear
from it.

F1eeces uniform in quality and

The average weight Of sheep re-
ceived in June at the stock yards was
the lightest Of the year. The propor-
ton of spring lambs was larger than
usual. which reduced the weight. The
average was only 81 pounds, against
81 pounds the previous month.
A sheepman says: 'Tell these Wis
consin shippers that there is posi-
lively no demand for common to fair
sheep and lambs. They have to sell
at ridiculously low prices, and If ship
pers realized how low the market is
for such stock no doubt they would
not send them in so freely. Over Is
per cent Of the sheep and lambs re-
ceived the first week in July consisted
OF stock which buyers didn't want"
Prof. Herbert w. Mumford. of Mich
igan, says: With the vast amount Of
cheap unoccupied land in Michigan
which is well adapted to sheep hus-
bandry, combined with the present en-
couraging outlook for the wool and
mutton industry, it is our opinion that
farmers can we'll afford to double the
number Of sheep now kept in the state.
Our climate and other conditions are
favorable for the growth Of wool and
mutton and our geographical position
gives us many advantages both from
a breeders and from a general farm
er's standpoint. :.
Plans are being drawn in the bridge
building department of the Denver
& Rio Grande for the largest sheep
dipping and clipping yards In the
West. The traffic in sheep between
New Mexico and Arizona and Colorado
has SO increased within the last year
or two that the ordinary facilities for
handling the stock are not sufficient.
The new building for which plans are
now being drawn will be erected at
Chama. N. NJ, as soon as they have
been approved by President Jeffery.
The yards and buildings will be Of un-
usual capacity and when moderately
full will accommodate $500 sheep.
Sheep men. recently returned from
the West, report q frightful condition
on the sheep ranges Of eastern Mon
tana. Grass is dry as powder. and
prairie fires have been raging In some
sections, one IRE sweeping over nifty
square miles before it could be
checked. They say the present gene
ration has never seen the water so low
in the upper Mississippi. No boats
have run above La Crosse during the
last month. Outlook for feeding at
the northern points is very discour-
aging, with practically no screenings
to be had, and ranges so bare of vege-
tation that the sheep must come into
feed lots this fall in weak and ema-
ciated condition.
