movement to prevent tramps from
riding on freight trains, OF paying
trainmen for rides with 'sboe

Officials on local lines have noticed
that the practice of some trainmen
of taking SHOE money" (money
which never reaches the treasures
of the roads) from hoboes, tramps
and others of their ilk. has become
a menace to the safety of freight

Below we illustrate a simple appar-
atus for testing the quality of milk, as
well as for separating the component
parts of other liquids according to their
weight, the machine being of con-
venient form for either household or
laboratory use. It would be matter
Of qualification to the housewife to
know to certainty the percentage OF
cream in the milk she buys, and often
times a machine Of this kind would be
the means of exposing adulteration, or
its use would enable the owner to Sc
1ect the richest milk. To utilize the
machine the two test tubes are re-
moved from their supports, filed with
the milk or other liquid and replaced in
their sockets. The crank is then re-
volved rapidly for few minutes, and
when the tubes come to standstill
again a glance at the figures on the
tubes will indicate at once the percent
age Of the heavier ingredient of the
milk. 1t is needless to say that the ap-

whole to horses, but give ground feed
to other farm animals. For dairy cows
four quarts per day of ground oats will
not be too much il the animal is matur-
ed. For younger cattle we feed smaller
amounts in proportion to age. We grind
barley and oats together and occasion
ally mix in a little wheat. Corn and

fattening hogs we grind barley, meal
and wheat together in equal parts. This
is an excellent feed for hogs intended

He persuaded brown eyed Maggie

She did not learn of her mistake i'm

several weeks. She then ascertained
that the genuine ''Uncle DAM knew

He had not for one moment forgot

Six months later a wedding was

Pretty Jennie was the bride and
George Howard the groom.
Maggie Leonard fluttered about, CIV

to descend to the parlors, where the

BARNARD Sheds.


We once knew man who decided
that he would make tight board fence
on the north and east sides of his barn
yard to protect the cattle from the
wind, as it would cost but little more
than any other snug fence. When this
was done he found that little more
expense would roof over the space be-
tween the fence and one side and end
of the building. Then he had shed,
not quite watertight, for he did not
single it, but battened the cracks,
where the cattle could stand while he
was cleaning out the stables and
spreading the bedding on stormy day,
and longer when the sun shOne into it,
and they were much more comfortable
It was pleasing to see how the cattle
would gather in that shed after they
had drunk, while waiting for the door
to open that they might go into the
barn. The expense was small and was
more than repaid by the comfort of
the cattle. and probably by saving of
food, though the farmers Of those days
did not carry their experiments on as
scientifically and get results as exactly
as the experiment stations do now.
When they thought new method paid
they did not figure the profits down to
fractions of cent.-American Cultiva

charcoa, for PouItry.

Poultry raisers in general do not full
ly appreciate the value Of good char
COAL Twice or thrice week a good
supply of crushed charcoal-broken up
as small as wheat grains should be
placed where the flock can have access
to it at will. Charcoal is a good cor
rective for many ailments poultry are
afflicted with. If charcoal is kept on
hand long 1t should be put in the oven,
and be well heated before using it for
feeding to the poultry. When it has
stood long and been exposed it may be-
come tainted with something, as it Is
a great absorbent. Heating it will drive
out all such impurities and refreshen
it so it will be good as new. Burning
corn ON the cob until 1t is black will
answer well, where it may not be con-
venient to secure the regular charcoal.
Hens seem to enjoy picking among coal
ashes and cinders, and it is good plan
to give them chance to do so, as they
often know what they require more
certain than their owners do

standard, or post, was about 6 feet tall;
the sweep, about Is feet long, hung on
a swivel about 5 feet from the butt end.
The post was braced on crosspieces at
the base to hold it from topping over,

AnULTERATED MoLAssEs.
The Blame Placed Upon People who Want
Cheap Goods.

Cheap Goods.
lie {. of the matter is that all
this cry about adulterated molasses
has somewhat befogged the public on
this interesting topic. They have come
to believe that the molasses producers
in Louisiana have ruined their indus
try by adulterating their product with
glucose, and even worse, by using
hurtful chemicals. This is not the
case at all. The producers, or planters,
as they call them in this part of the
world, still make the Simon Pure ar
ticle as Of old, but as the supply OF
the fine old-time sugar house or kettle
molasses is necessarily small, it is
high priced, and the consuming public
will not pay the price in competition
with the fine-colored, adulterated, but
cheaper article. Jobbers no longer de-
sire to handle the pure kettle molasses,
because their customers will not pay
the cost when they can buy the mixed
article for almost half the price. Any
one who is willing to pay the price
can buy all the pure molasses he wants
| from first hands in New Orleans.
There was time when large quanti-
ties of rich kettle molasses were made
| in this state in the old-style sugar
| houses. This rich molasses represent
ed the waste of considerable portion
of the sugar product. The tendency
in recent years has been to extract all
| the sugar possible from the cane juice,
20 a%o of
such large proportion of sugar that
the molasses by-product is no longer
| the rich sugar-house article, except
| in the case of a observation-disclosures
| factories where the kettle process is
| still in use.
| The great bulk Of the molasses now
marketed from the plantations is
comparatively low grade by-product of
I Indifferent color and inferior in sac
charine strength. A very large pro-
| norton of this mOlaSseS would not be
| acceptable to consumers in it's crude
or original state, hence the practice
of mixing it with glucose to improve
IFS appearance and render it merchant
able commenced. This mixing of mo-
lasses is quite distinct from the Gus
tom of bleaching, in which the chemi-
Gals are used, the deleteriOus effect
| of which has been much discussed.
Molasses mixed with glucose, although
it is certainly an inferior article COM
pared with pure sugar-house molasses
or can syrup, is yet entirely wholesome
| 1t is certainly bad practice to sell
| a mixed article in lieu of pure ar
ticle; but in the case of molasses there
need be no danger Of being deceived.
Pure molasses is very much more ex-
nensiye than the mixed article. The
reason why it is difficult to obtain
from the retailers is the unalterable
nropensity of the average American
to discriminate in favor of the cheaper
article. providing its appearance is sat-
isfactory. The average consumer will
| buy the mixed article every time in
preference to the pure article. The
mixing of molasses has therefore been
actually forced upon the distributors
first, by the altered system of manu-
facture on plantations, and. second. by
| the unwillingness of consumers to pay
the price of the pure article.-New

Facts About the silo.


Twenty years experience in the use
of the silo has brought out some facts
about which all are agreed
/. That a larger amount Of healthful
cattle food can be preserved in the silo
in better condition, at less expense Of
labor and land, than by any other
method known.
2. That silage comes nearer being a
perfect substitute for the succulent
food Of the pasture than any other food
that can be had in the winter.
3. Thirty pounds day is enough
silage for an average sized Jersey cow.
Larger cattle will eat more.
4. A cubic foot of silage from the
middle Of a medium-sized silo will av.
erage about forty-fve pounds.
5. For 1872 days, or half a year, an
average Jersey COW will require about
six tons of silage, allowing for unavoid-
able waste.
6. The circular silo, made of good
hard wood slaves, is cheapest and best.
Z. Fifteen feet in diameter and thirty
feet good depth. Such a silO will hold
about 200 tons Of silage, cut in half
inch lengths.
8. Corn just passing out Of roasting
ear stage is the best single material for
silage. Corn and COW peas are the best
combined materials in cow pea regions.
9. Silage is as valuable in summer as
in winter.
10. The silo has come to be as neces-
sary a part of dairy farm plant as
corn crib or hay NOW.
