just on the line between the right

Personally we have had some rather
undesirable experience during the
past year with butter for our own
use. Buying of one of the best MAX
ers i'll our district we would find upon
receipt that it was of this high, quick
flavor, caused by letting the cream
get overripe before churning. In four
or five days, being kept at a uniform
temperature during that time, not
only does it lose that fine, desirable
flavor, but it developes something
very unpleasant. In our experience
it is not an isolated case there are a
great many consumers who are COM
planning along the same line, that but

We have contended and still believe
that the overripening is the cause of
this quick deterioration, but so long
as judges give so much prominence
and take so much account of the
quick, high flavor in their scoring,
great many butter makers will adhere

SANITATION IN THE FARM
HOME.

Cornell College of Agriculture has
issued another good thing in its read
ing course for farmers wives. This
is called "Home Sanitation" and is
on behalf of the individual who is
obliged to live -eighths of her
time within four walls-the farmers
wife. How the home should be plan
ned in order to secure healthy sani-
tary conditions is an important mat
ter. 1t is much more difficult in the
country, where sewers are unknown,
and where the plumber has not enter
ed. This little pamphlet sets forth
in a pointed manner many simple
ways in which the comforts and
healthfulness of the home may be
greatly improved. We recommend
not only farmers wives, but farmers.
to ask the editors of the Farmers
Reading Course, Cornell University.
Ithaca, N Y, for copy of this, and

names placed on the mailing list, so
that successive issues will be sent

SEVEN KILLED.

Franconia, Ariz., Nov. 21.-A fatal
wreck occurred near here on Wednes-
day. Seven trainmen were killed,
three passengers and fourteen train
men injured. Limited trains east
bound crashed together while running
at full speed.
The eastbound train was drawn by
two engines while the westbound
train had but one locomotive. The
three engines were crushed and blown
to pieces by an explosion which fol-
lowed the collision Both trains were
made up of vestibule cars of the
heaviest kind, and while they stood
the terrific shock well and protected
the passengers to a great extent, sew
eral of the cars took fire at once and
burned up. The dining cars, one on
each train, one Pullman and two com
posite cars, were destroyed
The collision is said to have been
due to disregarded order by the
crew of the west bound train, though
full particulars on this point are as
yet lacking. From all accounts, how
ever, it is gathered that the east
bound train had orders to take the
siding at Franconia, and await the
passing of the west bound flyer which
was running two hours late and try
ing to make up time. The east bound
tain failed to reach the siding and,
as the west bound train did not wait
for it, the two trains came together
without warning and with an awful
crash. The boiler of the west bound
train is said to have exploded imme-
diately after the crash, scalding to
death those of the engine crews who
had not been killed outright.
A scene of awful confusion followed
the crash. The massive engines piled
up III an indescribable mass of broken
and twisted steel, while the scaldine
steam hung in a dense suffocating
cloud over the debris, from which the
agonizing cries of the injured and dy.
ing enginemen could be heard. The
heavy Pullmans and composite cars
jammed the dining and baggage cars
upon the heated pile of debris carry
ing death to the dining car crews and
setting the cars afire.
From the meagre details of the
scenes gathered from the passengers
it is learned that the sleeping cars
with one or two exceptions, suffered
slightly and as a result the passen-
gers were afforded comparatively i'm.
munity from injury. So far as learn
ed only three passengers suffered in
juries of a severe character, the ter
rible results of the wreck being con-
fined almost entirely to the train
crews and the employees of the dining
car service.

CORN AND PORK.

How many pounds of pork, as repre-
sented in live hog, does bushel of
corn represent, is a question which
has frequently arisen. 1t has been the
custom i'll past years to count bushel
of corn as equivalent to ten pounds
weight of the animal. Doubtless this
may be fair approximation, under
careless feeding, such as turning the
animals into a field to help them
selves to corn or other wasteful meth
DDS. But careful feeding may bring
far more important results. Mr. G.
q. Neff of Cincinnati, is interested
with his brother i'll farming operations
near Yellow Springs. Greene county,
Ohio. On December 10 they weighed
a bunch of fifty hogs, and again
weighed them on December 20 and
2S. The gain for the corn fed during
the first period was an average of four
teen and eight tenths pounds in
weight per bushel of corn, and for the
second period a gain of fifteen and
pounds per bushel. In
the first instance, calculating hogs at
81. 60, the feeding value of the corn
was 6S1ac per bushel, and in the Sec
ond instance, at s. 60 for hogs, the
result represented 70Mc for corn.
The market value of corn at the same
time was SEC. per bushel. This is an
illustration of what profits
can be realized in converting grain
into fat animals. Cincinnati Price

STEAMSHIP PROFITS.

Berlin, Nov. 20-The North Ger
man Lloyd steamship company, in a
report published today, anticipates a
falling off in revenue for the quarter
ending December 81, owing to the fail
ure of the maize crop in the United
States. Up to October 81 their yes
sells carried 70, 600 tons less than dur
ing the period up to the same date
last year.
The report shows falling off in
the conveyance of exported American
machinery and agricultural nipple
ments, but increased passenger traffic
compensated for this deficiency The
total profits of the company for the
first nine months of the present year
are 20, l40, 600 marks (S5, 035, 0O0), com
pared with 90 800, 600 marks for the
corresponding period last year.

NEW ENGLAND CORN.

The conditions for the corn crop
were very unfavorable at planting
time, but the results of the harvest
were extremely gratifying in the crib
bling and silage of the largest corn
crop i'll amount ever harvested in New
England Corn that was planted in
the rainy spell' when land was wet
and heavy did not yield as we'll nor
give as large a growth as that planted
later when the ground was warm and
i'll fine filth, which enabled the corn
rootlets readily to assimilate the
plant food that was necessary for
quick and vigorous growth. Our best
corn was on greensward land, plowed
just before planting although not ma
nured as heavily as that planted to
corn the previous year, other condi-
tions being equal. The difference in
the corn was not great, but just the
reverse of what had expected. at
tribute the difference to the better
mechanical action of the manure that

which the grass was well started.
This would tend to support the the
DRY advanced by some agricultural
scientists that the action of all ma
nures is largely mechanical instead of
giving direct plant food to the grow
ing crop; that is, the constituents in
the manure act upon the soil in such
way as to liberate the locked up
plant food elements and make them
available for plant growth. The the
ory may not be wholly correct, but it
is undoubtedly true that the mechani
Cal action of manures in the soil is a
leading factor in plant growth.
1t was fortunate for New England
farmers that they planted so large an
area to corn last spring and that the
crop was so heavy because the par
tial failure of the western crop will
keep the price of corn at high figure
until another crop is raised. Except
ing the grass crop there is no other
crop so sure for the eastern farmer as
the corn crop and there is no good
reason why New England farmers
should not be independent of the west

This old grandma cat lived at the
residence of John Wilczsvarski. All
previous attempts to get rid of Gen.

up serenely and sang her ballads on
the back fence. So Henry Wilczs-
varski, ten years old, was especially
detailed to drown Genevieve in the
river, all laws and city ordinances to
the contrary notwithstanding.
Henry put Genevieve in a sack and
tied it with string. By the time he
reached the foot of Blanche street
the old cat had got her good eye to
the peephole to reconnoiter. Then
she fought for her life. Henry tried
to throw the sack in the water, but
Genevieve's single claw was deep in
his coat, and moment later Henry,
Genevieve and all went in.

string around the sack broke. He
couldn't swim a stroke, but Gene

Externally the famous Temple of

within the precincts of the old pal

the whole is inclosed by moat, with

Duddha's tooth is the central shrine

Upon the altar stands an octagonal

of this are three miniature crystal

each resting on square base, and
two golden candlesticlks with lighted
candles. In the small dagobas on
either side are displayed priceless

lotus blossom. from the heart of
which, upheld by a twist of gold wire,
is appraised the worshipful piece of
yellow ivory, which to the unques-
