1--WE spent the night in Barbizon,
paid a goodly bin and set off in the
company of our English friends for the
town of Fontainebleau, lying at the
center of 30 square miles of forest"
writes a girl from Paris to The Ladies'
Home Journal. ut is never wild, never
mysterious. this forest that thousands
of artists have loved to paint. but it is
calm and grand and never tedious.
For eight hours we wandered over
plains covered with towering oaks,
among rocky gorges. out of which slen-
der, graceful beeches rise. and through
miles of fragrant, giant pines. And
everywhere are feathery ferns and
purple heather.
There is not the slightest chance Of
losing ones way. Every square inch
of the forest has been mapped out. and
at the intersection of every two ave
nues red hand points to the town.
and blue hand indicates the direc
ton of one of the sights And I7on-
tainebleu? We saw only the palace. a
bewildering maze Of magnificent
rooms Everywhere there was rich
ness, everywhere wonderful freseoes.
wonderful stairways. wonderful tapes.
try. wonderful inlaid furniture. The
grandeur is oppressive. and we were
glad to get out into the park. to wan
der about in the different courts"

cattle feeding.

There have been wonderful changes
in the cattle feeding industry during
the last % years Formerly the cattle
were fed on the plains. and no sheds
were thought necessary. Later the
market began to demand a higher
grade of beef than was produced by
the long horned Texas steer and the
native Of the northwestern plains.
This and other conditions brought
about the raising of better stock in
smaller herds. giving them better at
tention. better food and sheltering
them in barns against the bad wealth
er. There has been change in the
cattle industry in the older states also.
particularly Illinois. Ohio and Michi-
gan. With the revival of the industry
formerly carried on in those states and
the low prices of grain the farmers
have again returned somewhat to beef
cattle. and II is not an uncommon sight
now to see farmers who annually ship
from one to five carloads of fat steers.
These they may buy from farther west
or from their neighbors The business
is very profitable and tends to build up
the enrichment of the land.

Butter CoIOring.

The color question is a matter of vi
tai interest to the dairymen of the
United States, says Hoard's Dairy
man. Upon that line nearly all the
repressive legislation that has been
had against the fraud oleomargarine is
based. For that reason, in order that
in the future deception and swindling
may be prevented, it becomes a matter
of necessity that all butter shall come
upon the table in yellow color.
So far as deaths having ever ensued
from the eating of butter that has been
colored that is the merest humbug.
Butter is colored simply as matter of
green, all butter is yellow. 1t does not
make poor butter good butter. The
coloring has nothing whatever to do
with the question of quality. No man
need be persuaded to buy poor butter
for good because it is yellow. Quality
h butter is not judged by the eye. but
by the taste and smell, so color has
nothing to do with quality. but has
much TO do with another department
of value, that of appearance to suit
the eye of the consumer.
The aim of the dairymen and all con-
sumers who do not wish TO be swim
died into buying oleomargarine when
they call for butter is to force oleo-
margarine by the strong arm of law to
appear in the market and elsewhere in
its own distinctive color, which is
white or nearly So Then If the poor
want it as a cheap substitute for but
ter they can buy 1t for what 1t is
worth. Public sentiment and under
standing are fast coming to see the in
tegrity, fairness and wisdom of such a
purpose
The boarding house or restaurant
keeper who puts white butter on his
table is lacking In good business sense.
No deaths nor even sickness has ever
occurred to our knowledge from eating
butter colored by any form of color.
The sooner all butter comes on the
table in yellow attire and all substi-
tutes are forced to appear uncolored
the quicker win justice be done to the
consumer and the dairymen.

The fashionable pig of 80 years ago
was mere animated bladder of lard
very pretty to look upon, but of no
practical use but for the furnishing of
fat with which to fry fish. says the
Chicago Record. This craze for short
shouted, fat backed pigs continued for
many years and the United States pro
duced fat sailed pork and lard at so
much below prices in England that
only the longer and leaner of the Eng
lish fat pigs could be profitably con-
verified into bacon. Germany and sub
sequently Sweden and Denmark en-
tered the lists as bacon curers, and the
keen competition drove the English
curers to change their methods. Breed
ers of repute began to produce pure
bred pigs of the bacon type and sue
ceeded so well in combining length and
breadth of frame with large proper
ton of lean meat that in all the Eng
fish country districts the change in the
anatomy of bacon producing focks was
marked and the industry began once
more to be generally prosperous. The
English supremacy in bacon produc-
ton is again being challenged by both
Danes and Canadians, who are secur-
Ing a considerable proportion of the
best trade.

SUPERIOR WOOL.

English and American Manufactur-
ers Looking For High Grades.
In the present unusual wool situa-
ton the growers should do everything
possible to prevent the market from
suffering from a food of inferior goods,
says Il. p. Smith in The American Cul-
tivator. The market is lacking today.
especially In a fine assortment of good
wool There is more shoddy and in
ferior and poorly prepared wool than
anything else. Manufacturers are look
ing around for grades that will suit
high class fabrics, and some of them
have even sent their agents to the Lon
don market to secure a better assert
ment 1t is possible for farmers TO
improve this condition of affairs by
little more attention TO details.
One thing in particular is that much
otherwise fair wool is injured by the
number of burs in it that have to be
cut ont. This always spells good wool.
and if all weeds and plants that pro-
duce these burs were cut down before
they could blossom the wool product
of the country would be greatly Inn
proved. 1t would be an easy matter
to conduct a crusade against all plants
that produce burs. and by cutting
them down on the roadside and farm
whenever found they would soon cease
to cause trouble. Quite little improve
ment in this line has been made in re
cent years. but there is still room for
further improvement. Manufacturers
like TO see the wool come to them In
fine shape. free from dirt and burs,
and too much attention cannot be paid
to this end of the. business.
More careful washing and packing of
wool call for some caution. Washing
wool is a process that can be conduct
ed thoroughly almost as well as care
lessly Washed wool needs to be made
as clean as possible, and it should be
packed and prepared for the market
with the idea that its appearance will
determine the price for it. This is
often the case. and or 2 cents a
pound extra may be obtained for wool
properly washed. packed aud shipped.
The long erimpy. white wool seems
to be in special demand now. and man
ufacturers are willing to pay the high
est prices for this wool. The demand
is more than likely TO continue for sew
eral years. and II will pay to raise
sheep that will produce this wool. .
The Delaine type of eve and ram will
produce this wool better than any 9th
er breed Select a few ewes of this
breed with small bodies and long.
crimpy white wool and breed them TO
rams of the same general type. The
wool of such animals will sell better
than the coarser wool of the Merino
type The fleece is heavier because

the market demands now. Fine wool
with long staple will always command
its price. and it is especially in demand

of the public. OF several of them care
full autopsies were made and, not a
little to the excitement of our medical
world, it was discovered that the Eski-
mo intestine was about four feet short
er than ours Is, and that his liver was
not shaped like what we have been
used TO call human liver. but was
more like that Of dog. The Eskimo,
apparently is SO constructed that he

NEW YORK'S MILK SUPPLY.



Medical Standpoint.
There are In the boroughs of Man
haitian, Bronx and Brooklyn over so
wholesale and retail milk dealers
whose capital ratings, according to
the commercial agencies, range from
$4,000 to 100000, says The Medical
Record. A list Of questions was sent
to these dealers, asking, among other
things, whether they sold bottled milk
to families; where the milk is bottled,
in city or country; what percentage Of
butter fat their milk is guaranteed to
contain; whether the milk runs uni
form In quantity of butter fat; If there
is any variation In quantity of butter
fat: in what months of the year is
there the least quantity and in what
months the greatest quantity; is the
milk run through a centrifugal ma
chine to remove dirt; how soon after
milking is the milk delivered in the
territory covered; what territory is
covered; is the tuberculin test ever APP
piled to the cows?
Nineteen replies were received, all
from large dealers, their combined cap
ital ratings being about two-thirds Of
the entire capital invested In the milk
business In these Doroughs. These deal
ers all furnish bottled milk, which they
guaranteed to run per cent fat and
over. the least amount of fat being
found in the spring months. Three of
the dealers use separators to cleanse
their milk. the others simply claiming
ness. The time Of delivery is from II
to SO hours after milking. Nine out of
the 10 dealers say the tuberculin test
has been applied to their herds, al
though not regularly. Three simply
stated that there was oversight of the
| herd by a veterinarian. A few of these
dealers owned the cows producing the
milk, but the great quantity of milk is
collected by companies who have de
pots in various dairy districts and who
buy from farmers and diaries.
These companies have regular forms
of contracts, which are generally based
on the Fifty Dairy Rules" of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. These contracts may allow the
companies inspectors to examine the
cows, stables and utensils, regulate the
manner of feeding, handling of milk,
etc, and sometimes even provide for
notice to the company of any conta-
gious disease in the family or help of
| the producer. The milk is brought to
the depot at stated hours, cleaned. If
necessary, and bottled or canned and
shipped either in boxes containing ice
or in refrigerator cars and delivered
within "a to SO hours after milking.
About T5 per cent of the milk now re-
ceived in New York comes from these
receiving stations or, as they are usu-
ally called creameries.
In spite of the vigilance of the health
inspectors, there is large sale of vari-
Gus preservative solutions that are pre-
sumably used for the purposes for
which they are sold. Dairy supply
firms openly advertise the sale of these
preparations. Their commonest active
ingredients are boric acid and sodium,
salt, borax and formaldehyde. While
small amounts of these substances may
not always in themselves be directly
injurious, they have a tendency 10
harden the eliot of casein and thus
make the milk less digestible.

Questions
for
Women

II you were offered sure aid in time
of trouble would you put it aside
and accept something of doubtful
efficiency?
If you saw before you strong and
safe bridge leading TO your goal, would
you ignore it to try some insecure and
lettering structure
The answer to these questions is
plain. You would, of course, choose
without hesitation what all evidence
showed to be the safe thing, and you
would risk nothing in useless expert
ments.
Why then do some women risk one
of their most precious possessions
their health-in trying medicines of
unknown value, which may even prove
hurtful to them.
