tors, says The Northwest Farmer. Some
of the butter makers are making live
ly kick against the Introduction of the
farm separator. They might as we'll
kick against stone wall, for kicking
will not stop its coming. There is only
one thing that will check its rapid intro
duction. and that is better skimmilk
from the creamery. Farmers are get
ting more and more determined to raise
good calves, and they propose to do this
with separator skimmilk.If the butter
makers don't clean up their pumps,
pipes and tanks and give the skimmilk
a thorough pasteurlzing, the farmer is
certain to lend an attentive ear to the
farm separator agent, separator will
be installed on trial and you can count
on it's staying. 1t will then be too late
to protest, for after farmer pays 800
for separator he is quite apt to find q
factory that will take his cream. Dairy
men of experience have found that the
best of calves can be raised on good
separator milk, and every intelligent
butter maker knows how to return it in
good condition.

Boraclc Acid in Milk

The supreme court of Iowa recently
announced decision in case appeal
ed from Polk County which is of very
considerable interest to our re aders, and
especially those who sell milk for hu-
man consumption. A farmer near Des
Moines was furnishing milk for city
consumption and made use ;juring the
summer season of small amount of
boracc acid to keep the milk sweet.
There was no Intentional deception in
the matter, as he told some of his Gus
toners at least, that small amount of
boracic acid was used.
The case was tried, proof was furnish
ed that the amount of acid actual
ly used was not dangerous to health,
and the lower court decided against the
prosecution. The case was appealed to
the supreme court, which last week re-
versed the decision of the lower court,
holding that the addition of boracic
acid, or any other pr@ervative, was in
violation of the Iowa law.
We regard this decision as very i'm
portant one. While the amount of
boracic acid used by the milkmap, who
is one of our subscribers, was not det-
rimental to health according to the best
evidence, yet had the decision of the
lower court been sustained there would
be no limit to the amount of preserva-
tives that would be used by less con
scientious dairymen. There are indi-
cations that other dairymen have used
formaldehyde, which is deadly poison.
There is no difficulty whatever in
keeping milk sweet by the use of these
preservatives. However, in the exact
proportion that the preservatives pre-
4 serves. that is, arrests sourness or decay,
just in that proportion does it render
the milk indigestible, even if there are
no other evil effects, Milk can be kept
sweet sufficiently long for its delivery
in any kind of weather, provided it is
kept cool and the utmost cleanliness is
! observed. 1t cannot be kept sweet al
q high temperature, nor if every precau'
a0u ia not taken to decrease tht

A beloved tabby swallowed q strong
fishbone, which stuck in her throat
The cat could neither eat nor drink,
and swelling of the lacerated parts
soon increased so much that the poor
creature was gasping for breath. Her
mistress tried to take out the bone, but
1t was SO firmly fixed in the throat that
the attempt only tortured the cat, who
fled and hid herself. Every possible
search was made for the poor thing
but without success; and the owner
felt sure that tabby must have died of
sutfocation, if not of starvation, when
she was found-alive but very weak-in
wood cellar. There had been course
of medical lectures in the place, and
Tabby's mistress gave this account of
the matter: Puss "had performed
,tracheotomy, neatly shaving off a
circular patch of hair on her throat,
and cutting the windpipe oh! wonderful
animal below the part where the bone
still stuck" Puss twas breathing when
found, through the orifice that she had
herself made.' The happy owner now
easily removed the bone; treated the
wound antiseptically," as she said, and
nursed the cat back to health. To tell
that her pet had merely scratched her
self to pieces, in her pain and breath
lessness, would have simply been to
arouse the woman's contempt for the
speaker; for, "why was there not torn
skin above the place of the fishbone
Why was all done with the artof a train
ed surgeon?" she would have asked.

SUITS OF ARMoR.
Th. Last battle In which They Were
Worn by European Soldiers.


Worn by European Soldiers.
The last occasion, it is believed, on
which suits of armor were worn in bat
tie by European soldiers was in 1893.
The incident, according to chroniclers
of the Napoleonic wars, took place in
that year, when small French force
was holding the little fort at Aquilla
in the Abruzzi against n rising of the
hostile .peasantry of the district.
The French We're not strong enough
to fight their way through the lines of
their opponents, who outnumbered
them 20 to 1, while, as the latter had
no guns, the Frenchmen could hold
their position with confidence.
There We're, however, left on the
space lying between the opposing
forces some dozen or so guns which the
beleaguered had not been able to take
with them into the fort.
An attempt was made by the besieg
ers to remove these guns by means Of
long rope worked by capstan plac-
ed in house a short distance away,
and, though their first endeavors re-
suited in failure, the French realized
that the ultimate capture of the ord
nance would seriously jeopardize the
chances of the fort holding out.
The necessity Of spiking the guns
was apparent, but a sortie in the face
of the overwhelming musketry fire of
the insurgents was out of the question.
| AT this juncture an idea occurred to an
artillery officer. He remembered hav-
ing noticed. in making an inspection of
the magazine, some old plate armor,
and, selecting from the best preserved
II suits, he determined to try whether
they would not afford sufficient protec-
tion for his men to attempt to work I'M
der cover of their own guns.
Twelve stalwalts. therefore. marched
out clad in this cumbrous, unaccustom-
ed accouterment, taking with them the
necessary TOOLS and succeeded in exc
cutting their purpose under hail of
bullets from the besiegers.

Berlin has conceived a novel plan

Berlin has conceived a novel plan of
furthering the right developement of
children. This provides for the inter
change of city and country children.
Thus the poorer classes of Berlin, who
cannot afford family outings, are en-
abled to send their children to the coun-
try, and in exchange they receive the
children from the country home, who
are thus provided with the liberal edu
cation town life affords. Reciprocal
selfish interest in their own prompts
considerate treatment of the visiting
children in each home. The plan works
so successfully the intention now is to
extend it and make it international, es.

The only opposition to the $60,OoO,0Oo

says the N. Y. World, comes from men,
bers who think they are not getting
their share of the "pork.' Most of
these live unfortunately in States that
have neither harbors nor river that are
nayigable within any rational meaning
of the word commerce" But this un-
pleasant fact does not modify in the
least their appetite for slice of the fat
appropriation. How would it do, in
order to render the "divvy" more equal,
to make appropriations in the dry States
for the purpose of digging wells? This
would promote the general welfare"
quite as directly as squanderlng the

mud-scow bayous under the pretense of
