LATEST HEALTH FOOD.
II Is Compressed MIX, in which All
Sorts of LncteRI Microbes Are
Squeezed to Death.

After ,)asteurized milk, aerated milk,
sterilized milk, peptonized milk, lac
tated milk and matted milk, there is
now to be added "A new kind of scien-
tific hygienic milk.
1t is compressed milk. BY this new
process the microbes that abound in
cows milk are squeezed to death, at
least a part of them are, for there are
100000 germs TO every teaspoonful of
raw cows milk.
To investigate the effect of pressure
on bacteria, an apparatus was devised
which is remarkable for having pro-
duced what is probably the greatest
hydrostatic pressure ever reached,
over 100000 pounds per square inch.
The particular object of these ex-
periments was to determine whether
the bacteria in milk might not be
killed by hydrostatic pressure, so that
IL would keep a longer time without
souring. Moderate pressures were
first tried, but appeared to have no eff
feet. The pressures were then in
creased and notable results were OBJ
tanned.
Milk subjected TO pressures of 20 to
100 tons kept from "a to GO hours
longer without souring than untreat-
ed milk. The degree to which the
keeping qualities of milk were i'm
proved appeared to depend as much
on the time for which the pressure was
maintained as upon the actual pres
sure reached.
Pressures of 90 tons per square inch
maintained for an hour delayed the
souring of milk from four to six days.
Complete sterilization of the milk,
however, was in no case effected, even
at the highest pressures, and the milk
in many cases acquired peculiar tastes
and odors on keeping, indicating that
certain species of bacteria were killed
while others were not.-Chicago Amer

duck and Stats nailed over the duck.
For entrance a flap is left and board
tackled to the duck endwise. Loops of
leather or wire are stapled to the board
to draw taut. This will give the build
ing plenty of light and will answer
better than window glass. During the
warm months the duck is removed and
put away for future use. The sides on
the north are also removed for ventila-
ton. In the fall new sheds and runs
are erected upon a new location, the
poles removed the old pile of hay
burned and the ground plowed for
garden for the next season.
During the winter when the wealth
er requires it these sheds are heated
with steam from two old steam cook
ers in a greenhouse, which is located
about the center of this row of sheds.
Two-inch pipe is laid through the
sheds upon blocks of wood in a trench
20 inches deep. 1t is covered with
boards and then dirt. The pipes
through the shed are not covered, with
the exception of Stats over the trench.
The steam does not return to the
greenhouse, but is let out at the end
of the last building. l breed fancy

lydue to the fact that the phenomenon
is produced only in regions of the
retina distant from the yellow spot

FUNERAL TROLLEY CAR.
Baltimore Street Railway Compamies
Have Had One Built at Consid-
cradle Expense.

Baltimore has a number of fine
suburban cemeteries, all of which are
reached by some division of the street
railway lines, and the company found
by putting in few crossovers they
could take a car from any part of the
city to any one of the burying grounds.
1t was, therefore, decided to offer cars
for transportation of funeral parties,
says the Street Railway Review. The
company built a special car well adapt
ed for the purpose. The car is di-
vided into two compartments, the
smaller of which has running its full
length another compartment or Vault
in which the casket is carried. A
heavy plate glass door hinged to swing
downward gives access to the vault
from the outside. When casket is
to be placed in the car, the shelf is
drawn out, the casket lifted upon it,
and the shelf is then pushed back in
place. The larger compartment has
II cross seats in the center aisle, Civ
ing seating capacity of "a; the small
er COMPARTMENT has four seats. Heavy
black curtains divide this section into
two private compartments for the inn
mediate family of the deceased. Floral
contributions are piled upon the top
of the vault, and can be seen from
the street. The car is finished inside
and out with black enamel with nickel
plated fixtures. The car has been
named Dolores" meaning sorrow.
and it is rented at from $40 to $25 for
each interment.

The black, yellow and white locusts
are merely varieties or forms of the
same species, Robinia pseudacacia.
The black and yellow forms are con-
sidered most resistant and are usual
ly found in the driest places. If
seeds or suckers can be had from
these dark and dense-wooded types
they would naturally be preferred
for planting. All varieties of the
common locust are attacked by bor-
ers, and a multitude of insect enc
mics. The honey locust, Gleditschia
triacanthos, is not troubled by in
sects to so great an extent as the
Robinia, but is much inferior in last

which is sufficient to irrigate 500 acres
of trees or 200 acres of alfalfa. By the
use of the sun motor the item of fuel
is entirely done away with. Steam is
raised on sunshiny days by turning
the mirror frame until the proper
focus is obtained on the boiler. The
supply of water in the boiler and the
working of the machinery are ar
ranged automatically, so that little
human labor is needed in connection
with its use. The most immediate and
important use of the new motor is ex-
-rected to be the furnishing of a sup
ply of water for irrigating the sandy
deserts of the southwest, where the
sun shines brightly for more than 70
per cent. of the days and fuel is almost
impossible to obtain.

Good Horses In Demand.

The breeding of horses, like all
other kinds of live stock, will pay if
the aim is to produce the very best.
The greatest drawback to the bust
ness at the present time is the lack
of good stations of the different
breeds throughout the country. So
far as our observation extends there
are fewer frst-class stations access
sible at this time than ever before,
and it will take some time to get
them through the country. Those
who have good mares of any breed
and are in reach of the right kind of
stations are fortunate just at this
time, and will make the rearing of
horse stock a profitable branch of
farming.-Farmers' Voice.

age. 1t cures when all other remedies
fail. 1 can heartily recommend Pc
runa as catarrh remedy"
The spring is the time to treat ca
tarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often
retards cure of catarrh. If course
of Peruna is taken during the early
spring months the cure will pc prompt
and permanent. There can De no fail
ures if Peruna is taken intelligently
during the favorable weather Of
spring.
AS a systemic catarrh remedy Pc
runa eradicates catarrh from the sys-
tenn wherever it may be located. 1t
cures catarrh of the stomach or bow
els with the same certainty as catarrh
of the head.
If you do not derive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of
Peruna, write at once to DR.. Hartman,

valuable advice gratis.

A new electric fire alarm is intend
ed to announce the appearance of
fire to passers-by outside the building
in which it is placed. 1t consists of
metallic case containing a charge
of pyrotechnic compound similar to
Bengal light, and surmounted by a
small igniting fuse. The whole is
made water-tight, and is arranged to
be put in position on a cornice or
other prominent part of the build
ing. The fuse is connected through
thermostats with battery, so that a
high temperature in the vicinity of
one of the thermostats closes the cir
cult, explodes the igniting charge and
lights the slow-burning compound,
which gives brilliant light, and this
attracts the attention of people in
the neighborhood.
