The Deputy District Attorney of Indiana has
been making some quiet Investigations on his own
account for some time, and result he announces
that Indianapolis boasts of an insanity trust. The
fee system still exists in that city, and ring OF
physicians and witnesses have been making a very
comfortable living by investigating hundreds Of
alleged insanity cases. Most of the physicians con-
nected with the police department and the city
hospital and sll the employees of the dispensary
have been interested in this humorous and refreshing
scheme for turning an honest penny. The demands
for examination into the sanity of ceases" have been
made by police matrons ambulance drivers who
were given their share of the rake-off. The mode
of procedure simple: these cultured and
public spirited citizens would swear out an affidavit
and an investigation would follow. Now and then
some unfortunate would get stuck away i'll an
asylum. but the majority escaped, and can honest
fox must live" said the insanity trust.
Now. the Deputy District Attorney of Indiana
has his fighting blood up and avows he will land
the members of the enterprising trust behind iron
bars. If he can do it he is bird and deserves as
many more terms in Office as he wants.

Frogs as Scavengers.

Frogs are fine scavengers, de-
stroying great quantities of decay

and brooks and keeping the water
pure, thus proving themselves
most worthy of kind treatment
and preservation. They devour,
too, great numbers of insects, in
Guiding flies and mosquitoes. In
spite of their queer shape, they
are remarkably expert jumpers and
swimmers, and many a boy has
learned from them both how to

Sixteenth Century Apples.

Apples be so divers of form and
substance that it were infinite to
describe them all. Some consist
more of aire then water, as sour
puffs called Mala pulmonea; others
more Of water then wind, as sour
Castaras and Pome waters. To be
short, all apples may be sorted in
to three kinds, sweet, SQUIRE and
unsavory. Sweet apples ease the
cough, quench thirst, cure melan-
cholly, comfort the heart and head
especially if they be fragrant and
odoriferous, and also give laud.
able nourishment. SQUIRE apples
hinder splitting, straiten the brest
grippe and hurt the stomach, en-
crease phlegm and weaken memory
Sweet apples are to be eaten at
the beginning of meat, but SQUIRE
and tart apples at the latter end
All apples are worst raw, and best
baked or preserved.

The country is crying for leader who has a

In recent editorial on the steel strike, PUCK
reviews the situation more concisely and judicialy
than any publication have seen. The contest, il
says, is purely selfish and has moral signif-
canoe. It is battle for supremacy between great
money trust and great labor trust and the right
lies with neither The labor trust is striving to
force the money trust to- employ none but union
laborers; it demands the right to fix the scale OF
wages and the hours of work. The money trust
the other hand, says it is quite willing to en-
ploy union labor, and to permit the labor trust
to dictate regarding the wages and hours of the
union men, but it reserves the right to employ
union men who shall do contract
work and put in overtime if they, the men, see fit
These non union men, says the money trust, con-
stitute protection against the labor trust, for so
long they exist it is possible to operate the mills
during strike. This is just what the labor trust
wants to prevent and the battle wages with little
prospect of settlement at the present writing.

behavior with which the strike has been conducted

matter rather than brute force, labor will become

How to Obviate the Difficulty of Col

How to Obviate the Difficulty Of Col
Iecting butter Fat.
During cold weather one of the Chief
difficulties in butter making results
from hard fat granules and cream with
a high vscosity. These conditions are
more common in the early winter
months than at any other time and
when cows are somewhat advanced in
lactatiOn. The character Of the feed
also has something to do with this.
The difficulty can be remedied by using
feed of a more succulent character, d.,
luting the cream with warm water or
a very weak brine.
Care must be taken in diluting not to
carry this too far, as the cream will be
thin and hard to churn. Warming OF
the cream gradually several hours be-
fore cluri,ing will also aid in the COL
lection of butter fat. 1t sometimes hap
pens that the cream will have to be
heated as high as IS or so degrees to
churn well. Do not heat any more than
Is absolutely necessary. Other things
being equal, the lower the temperature
at which the cream can be churned the
higher the quality Of the butter.

SHAPE OF THE UDDER.
Imperfect Development Of the Front
Common Fault.

| Imperfect Development OF the Front
| Common Fault.
Doubtless you all know that the pro-
ductivity of an udder is dependent up
on the number Of epithelial or secretive
cells it contains and not necessarily
upon its size, says Professor II. Hay
ward The ideal udder then would be
one of such shape that the maximum
sized udder containing the maximum
number of secreting cells could be cas-
lily carried when full. A little thought
will show us that the shape of this
udder must necessarily form part of an
arc of circle, but that both the back
and front part of the udder will extend
beyond the circle and thus form what
we know as square, well balanced
udder
The udder should, of course, be free
from much flesh. The amount of flesh
an udder will show on milking out,
however, will depend on the period Of
lactation, as the more active the Sc
cretive cells are the more apparent
flesh will the udder show after milk
ing. A fleshy udder is readily distin-
guished by the fact that the superfuous
flesh that it contains usually seems to
drop more or less to the bottom of the
udder, making it pendulOus. Such an
udder not only Is unsightly, but the
COW with suclf an udder Is quite likely
to transmit this undesirable quality to
her offspring. The most common fault

produced by the rear and front udders.
In these cases 1t was found that the
rear udder produced 81 per cent more
milk that the front udder, which plain

the front and rear udders. where the
udders were well balanced. In the
