Packing Butter for Long shirmcat~
Consul Hughes of Coburg thus de-
scribes a new method OF packing but
ter for long shipments: A light wood
en- case or box is lined thoroughly at
the bottom and sides with layer OF
plaster OF paris one-fourth of an inch
thick, on which common glass slabs,
with their edges fastened together with
gummed paper, so as to make perfect
fitting box are placed. In this box the
butter is put. packed in good water
proof paper in 10-pound packages. The
glass top is then put on and sealed
carefully with gummed paper bands SO
MS to make the box air tight. A one
fourth inch layer OF plaster OF paris is
then put over this and the wooden
cover nailed on. Each of the cases IL
made to contain about 200 pounds OF
butter. The plaster OF paris, being q
non-conductor, very little heat reaches
the butter, which arrives at its desti-
nation in good condition. II is reported
that very successful results have been
obtahed by shipping butter packed In
this manner from Melbourne to KIM
berley-rather a severe test.

It is a true saying that the right
kind of poultry managed in the right
way is profitable. But when we have
said that we have given a very wide
latitude to the assertion. For in
management" we comprise innumer-
able questions that must be settled one
way or the other and the settlement of
which questions has in 1t the whole
question of profit or loss in the trans
action. The poultry business is at
that point where 1t takes brains to
make money out of II. Brains means
good fund of information and the abil-
ity to apply that fund of information
to the conditions as they exist in any
place. One writer asserts that three
times as many people lose money
through poultry as make money. How
does he know? Has he list of the
people that have tried poultry rails
ing and failed or succeeded? OF course
not. II is without doubt true that TAX
ing people as a whole more make a
success than failure of 1t. The man
that makes the remark quoted doubt
less referred TO those men that have
put large sums of money into the
poultry business and made that their
one effort In life. IL that is his mean
ing he comes nearer to being right,
but 1t would be mere guessing to say
what the proportion Is.

There have been a good many re-
ports that the rains of late July caused
the sprouting of potatoes which had
been prematurely ripened by the ex-
cessive heat of that month, but which
had been allowed to remain in the
ground because they were too small
to dig. Nature abhors a vacuum, ard.

vines that are working overtime.
Through a fortuitous accident a Min
nesota grower has had a chance to
rejoice in an earlier and better crop
than any of his neighbors. The seed
was dropped in burrows according to
the old fashioned methods and was
then covered by the pillow. but more
deeply than was intended-so deep, in
fact that the grower despaired of ever

ground when his own were but peep
ing through the mould. They grew
steadily, the deep roofing helping
them through the dry hot weather
when vines of shallower roofing were
parched. While the yield per hill was
less than usual, the potatoes were large
and OF fine quality and as before re-
marked, earlier than any of their con-
temporaries.

Clocks With "WheeIs."

''Clocks are certainly queer things"
said the man who was tinkering at the
hall clock in a suburban house the 9th
er day. 'They get cranky spells just
like people. Sometimes they really act
as though they were bewitched. A
friend of mine had a little clock that
had behaved itself and kept good time
for years. One day it took notion to
lay off for awhile, and they couldn't
get it started again. My friends wife
was cleaning the room several days
afterward, and she took the clock and
laid it down fiat on it's back on a chair.
1t started to go at once and licked
away at great rate, but as soon as
she placed it on end it stopped again.
Well, they set it, and for time it act
ed all right as long as it remained on
it's back. But it soon got cranky again
and refused to go. The other day, just
for fun, they turned it upside down,
and, would you believe it, that crazy
clock started off again. Now it only
runs when it is standing on it's head,
and they are wondering what new fool
ishness it will develop next."-Boston

Sleeping Car Ethics.

It seems that there is an unwritten
code of sleeping car ethics which has
it's fine distinctions. The International
says: ''The seasoned traveller enters
the Pullman as if it were a room in a
club with which he is familiar, but
which he has not visited for some time.
He slows away his belongings, accord
ing to his habit, puts on his travelling
cap and a pair of light shoes or slippers
and overgaiters, gets out his newspa-
pers and book and, not forgetting his
smoking outfit, is ready to be COM
Portable. Be it remembered that if
slippers be donned they must always
be accompanied by overgaiters, for
without these latter the slippered foot
is not permissible under the unwritten
law of sleeping car travel"

Food of Prehistoric Man.

Upon examining some skulls dating
back from the stone age Mr.. Charters
White, NJ r. G. S., noted that several
of the teeth, although quite free from
carries, were thickly coated with tartar.
1t occurred to him that it would be
possible by rough analysis to identify
any particles of food that might be i'm
bedded in this natural concrete and so
reveal the character of the aliment
partaken Of by prehistoric man. Dis
solving the tartar in a weak acid, @
residue was left which, under the mi
croscope, was found to consist of corn
husk particles, hairs from the outside
Of the husks, spiral vessels from vege-
tables, particles Of starch, the point of
a fish tooth, conglomeration of oval
cells probably of fruit, the barblets Of
down and portions of WOOL
In addition to this varied list were
some round red bodies the origin of
which defied detection and many sandy
particles, some relating to quartz and
some to flint. These mineral fragments
were very likely attributable to the
rough stones used in grinding the corn
and would account for the erosion Of
the masticating surfaces, which in
many cases was strongly marked. This
inquiry into the food of men who lived
not less than 1000 years ago is a mat
ter Of great archaeological interest

The Joke on the Snake Charmer.

Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans when
a young officer was on the Indian sta
ton in the man-of-war Delaware. With
several others he set up bungalow on
shore He tells in GA Sailors Log"
published by the Appletons, what hap
pened to a snake charmer that came
along:
'The unfortunate thought came to
one of our men that it would be a good
idea to get the Mohammedan drunk to
see what he would do. So he prepared
a dose for him that was very effective.
He poured a good stiff drink Of brandy
into a beer glass and then filled it with
gin instead Of water. The charmer
took kindly to the drink and in a short
time rolled out of his chair on to the
floor very drunk and was soon fast
asleep.
'"rhe bag of snakes had not been
thought of up to this time, but it also
fell, and the inhabitants quickly spread
over the floor. In the meantime five
American officers took to the table and,
drawing their feet up, carefully re-
manned there until the snake charmer
slept off his dose. He snored quietly
while the snakes crawled over and
around him, but it was long time be-
fore he finally came to himself, secured
his pets and took them away. We did
not repeat that experiment"

Athletic Annetites.

''The actual amount of good roast
beef that a table of athletes will con-

the uninitiated. Three members of a
Yale football team once went to Cam

ward and some other team. These
three men stopped at hotel for their
luncheon. Among other things the
spokesman of the party ordered three
portions of cold roast beef. But, SIR

Remarkable Power.

face cleared, and she patted his arm

When California Was Unknown

In an old geography printed in 1916
appears the following: California is a
wild and almost unknown land.
Throughout the year it is covered with
dense fogs, as damp as unhealthful.
In the interior are volcanoes and vast
plains Of shifting SHOWS, which some
times shoot columns to great heights.
This would seem nearly incredible
were it not for the we'll authenticated

CONTINUES TO IMPROVE.
Physicians 40 Longer HOLD Consultations
over Mrs. Mckinley.

over Mrs, Mckinley.
Washington, June 1S.-Mrs. McKin-
leys condition continues to improve
and there was no consultation of physi-
clans at the White House during the
day. Surgeon General Sternberg, one
of the consulting physicians, left for
the philippines and DR.. RiXey did not
consider it necessary to call in DR..
johnston, the other consulting physi-
clan. If the present Improvement goes
on it is expected that Mrs. Mckinley
will be able to travel soon after July
1. The president will then accompany
her to Canton where the Mckinley
home has been made ready to receive
her.
How long the president and Mrs. Nc
Kinley will remain in Canton will de-
pend upon the benefit Mrs. Mckinley
receives from her stay at her old home.
After she has been there for some time,
if the weather is oppressively warm
and her physician recommends a
change, the president probably will
take her to some quiet place in the
mountains or at the seashOre. In any
event when the president departs for
Canton with Mrs. Mckinley early in
July it will be to remain from Wash
ington for the remainder of the heated
term. He might return for day or
two once or twice during the summer
but he will not again take up his abode
at the White House until fall.
