CONDENSED MILK.
Great Fondness for This Prod
uct of Our Diaries.

A curious coincidence learned by the
experts of the department of agricul-
ture in a tour of the orient is the fact
that while the natives of China, Japan,
the Philippines and the coast region
never have cultivated taste for but
ter and cheese, yet they have made up
this discrepancy by their fondness for
condensed milk.
A few years after the process of con-
densing milk was discovered, the ma
tives of Japan, China and the east gem
orally soon cultivated liking for it,
and to-day condensed milk is more pop
ular and in greater demand in these
countries than is any other western
| product. Thousands of cans are shipped
from San Francisco to the ports of
| China and Japan and to Manila every
week and IN supplying this trade the
United States holds the monopoly. But
in regard to butter and cheese, while
| the outlook is bright. saws officials Of
the department, still it is hardly pos
sible for us to compete with Australia
on equal terms in supplying these COM
modities, for the reason that that coun-
try lies several thousand miles near
err the market than we do But when
it comes to Japan, American dairy
products. it is believed, will be able to
compete with Australian butter on
equal terms.
As above stated, the natives have
cultivated little taste for butter or for
cheese, so that the sales of these prod
ucts are made mostly for the large
European and American population in
the principal seaports from Nagasaki
to Singapore who up until a very short
time ago depended entirely on Aus
tralia for their supply Now that the
agents from the United States are in
the field, it is said that both dealers
and customers are willing to buy
American butter and cheese. and in
majority of cases. have expressed a
preference for these two products sent
there from the United States.

it is often difficult to keep dairy
utensils in the best possible condition
in winter, because of lack of sunshine.
On most farms vessels are washed and
scalded and then put in the sunshine
until wanted. Many winter daJ have
no sunshine. Utensils should there
fore be boiled thoroughly or subject
ed to live steam if this is obtainable.
At any rate, give them a good scald-
Ing in boiling water and place them
where they are exposed to outside air.
Sunshine is the best possible disin-
fectant. Keep your dairy utensils in
the sunshine as much as possible

Hopkins, of Illinois; Sherman, of

Billy Bolton of the Woodward
News and Live Stock Inspector,
carries around one of the baldest
heads in the territory. Billyis a
wise guy and is always doing
something to help his friends,
the cattlemen out. The flies used
to bother Billy considerably by
walking over his head, but some
time ago he conceived the idea of
painting a spider on his skating
rink" to scare the measley flies
away. 1t worked like a charm,
and no fly has attempted to light
on Bills head since, Billy always
follows up a good thing, and he
is now advising the cattlemen to
scrape off a few square inches of
hair from the back of each ami
NAL, and have painter do an il
rusration of big spider thereon.
He has figured out the exact per-
centage of time lost by cow in
throwing her head around to
knock off flies which she cannot
reach with her tail, and he esti-
mrtes that she will put on as
much fat during June, if protect
ed by the picture of the spider,
as she would up to the 10Th of
July without it.-Enid Eagle.

letter bidding her to drop S35Oin
gold in a hole which the writer
would dig by the side of her de-
ceased husbands grave; that if
she failed to do so, he would kid

house, 1t was known at once
that a man named Rose had writ
ten the letter, as the box in the
postoffice had just been emptied,
when Rose entered and deposit
ed two letters in the box, one of
which was for the postmistress.
The woman notified the sheriff
of Chase county and he advised
that she drop something into the
hole in the ground as directed at
g o'clock the next afternoon.
Woman like, she was little late
in keeping her appointment, but
it was a bad thing for Rose, for
he entered the cemetery, and
seeing no one retired. Shortly
afterwards the woman drove to
the cemetery in buggy, hitch
ed and went to the designated
place, and Immediately after 1eav-
ing Rose again entered and on
his reaching the spot a signal
gun was fired and Rose surround
ed by posse. He waived pre-
liminary examination and was
committed to Jail in default of a
bond of $500. The United States
officials then stepped in and took
charge of the prisoner for using
the mails to send a threatening
letter, and he is now in Jail in
Wichita awaiting trial in the
United States court, which meets

ing through the country repre-
senting himself to be special
examiner sent out by the pen
sion bureau, and works various
schemes toget money from them.
One of his games is to represent
that your pension is about to be
stopped or reduced, but for a
small sum, ranging from 81 to
$40, he will fix the matter up and
see that everything is alright.
Be on the lookout for him. The
imposter is described as being 5
feet inches in height, little
stoop shouldered, weight about
$50 pounds, age about so years
He is very bald, has light COM

eyebrows; blemish or spot in
white of left eye, heavy sandy
moustache cut short over mouth
and extending we'll around to
corners, dimple in chin, a notch
between the upper front teeth,

He is fluent talker, apparently
of Irish decent, dressed in gray

and tan shoes.-Elmdale Report.
