The state of Michigan has begun pro-
secutions, in Jackson county. that
state, against Armour & Company OF
Chicago for the selling of process but
ter without labelling II as such. The
fact that the Chicago packer named Is
engaged in the manufacture OF process
butter is not. perhaps, generally
known. 1t was supposed that the Chi
cago packers made butterine as a side
issue, mainly as a means OF disposing
Of their by-products to the best ad-
vantage. The making over OF rancid
butter. however. is something OF de-
parture for the meat packers, and 1t
will probably not be long before We
find the same factors at work In other
lines Of dairy effort. 1t seems likely
that the firms that make and sell pro-
cess butter In Michigan will be COM
PEELED to sell 1t under the name OF
process" butter. Not till recently has
the dairy and food department Of that
state been able to distinguish process
butter from fresh butter, but now a
way to distinguish them has been dis
covered. The dairy and food commits
sion OF Michigan has set good ex-
ample to the neighboring states In the
vigor with which 1t is following up
yiolators OF the state laws.

They are telling story in Chicago
about an advance agent for the Thomas
Orchestra who recently went to New
Orleans 10 book dates for concerts. lie
was told that it would be we'll for him
first to talk the matter over with a
wealthy woman who is a leader in the
musical circles of the city. So he
called ut her residence, and a ring
brought out an old negro, who took
the callers card, on which was printed
the legend, Representing the Thomas
Orchestra" Presently n young woman
came to the door holding the card in
her hand. She did not seem to under
stand the object of the call, The
agent attempted to explain, but was
cut short by the young woman. who
said: IL don't think we want any
music to-day"

WHAT "gALsoMIsEs" ARE

Kalsomines are cheap and temporary
preparations. manufactured from whit
ing, chatks, clays, etc. They are stuck on
the walls with decaying animal glue. Ala
bastine Is not a kalsomine. IL Is a rock
base cement, which sets. and 1t hardens
with age. II can be re-coated and re-
decorated without having 10 wash and
scrape of rs old coats. Alabastine Is
utilized to ! reat extent in hospitals, as
II prevents tho accumulation OF dirt and
the congregating of diseaA> germs, being
disinfectant in its nature.

orally is, The advice is generally Civ
en- to put a small hole through the
skin and crop membrane, pulling the
Ekin over some, so that the cut in the
skin and the cut in the crop will not
naturally come opposite each other.
The cut in the crop should be only
large enough to permit the finger TO
go in and bring out the food. After
the sack is thoroughly washed out, the
cut in the membrane may be sewed up,
and like operation performed on the
cut in the skin. We do not believe this

the bird that the farmer has to sell
for 20 cents. A bird properly handled
will not become crop bound.

Uniform Temperature.-We have
been in the habit OF thinking that
1t is the mild warmth of the advancing
spring that heaps the egg-basket at
that season; but while warmth is a
good thing, those who are getting best
results are those who keep the fowls
most nearly in uniform condition
through the winter. Last winter,
visited man who kept hens literally
by the thousand. for eggs chiefly. He
said that If he allowed the birds in the
scratching rooms before the sun shone
in and warmed them to the tempera-
tire OF the sleeping rooms. the imme-
date effect was heavy drop in the
number of eggs.--C. s. Valentine.
