RUssIA's FLOATING GARDENS.
Extensive and Productive ExPerf-
ment stations ON River
BarGes.

In a practical paper in Century, on
"America's Agricultural Regenera ton
of Russia" Alexander Hume Ford de-
scribes the floating gardens that are a
feature of certain great Russian
streams.
"Along these great watercourses,
which American dredges are constant
1y deepening, are to be found the most
extensive and productive farms of
Russia. In rich agricultural country
intersected everywhere by rivers and
canals, it is not surprising that novel
method of presenting object-lessons
TO the tillers of the soil has been
evolved.
"The Russian educators in casting
about for the best means of economic
ally fulfilling their mission decided to
experiment with immense floating
gardens hundreds OF feet in length.
These great barges, built wide enough
to give a comfort TIA BILE area for the lay
ing out of a garden, are launched
with the breaking up of the ice. AS
these floating agricultural experiment
stations drift downstream to warmer
climes, the seeds sprout, and grain
grows and even tually ripens.
"On the deck of the great barge is
an extensive building, the residence
of the professors of agriculture who
have the station in charge, and a
smaller house for the crew. The size
of these buildings, however, is dwarfed
by the immensely of the barge. On
its great, broad deck, besides the
vegetable and grain beds, are various
working models of beehives; for the
government is bending every energy
to revive this industry once famous
in Russia, when honey mead was the
national drink.
GAS the barge journeys with the cur
rent, it stops at every village. The
church bell is rung, and the people
gather from the fields to be led by the
starosta or mayor, to the floating
farm. They are invited aboard, where
the various plants are explained to
them, while illustrated lectures are
sometimes given on the advantages of
diversified farming. The questions of
the peasants are intelligently an

most enterprising for planting.
$50 far the barge experimental
farms have proved the most efficient
method of spreading the new knowl-
edge of farming in Russia, for the
country is one vast plain. The great
rivers flowing southwark through the
rich agricultural prairies take their
rise in the dense forests of central and
northern Russia. Here the great
barges are built late ia the fall, the
spring freshets are made to save the
expense of launching, and when fall
comes again the wood of the barges
can be sold in the treeless southern
country, where wood is dear, and thus
made to pay the expenses of the trip
downstream"

PIONEERING FOOD TO KEEP IT.
Various Forms of Solid and Liquid
Sustenance Put Up in Con-
venient Shape.

Desiccated milk is one of the newer
food products, and is prepared by caus~
ing spray of ordinary fresh milk to
enter a tank filled with hot air. The
"atomized" fluid is carried upward,
and, its moisture being discharged in
the form Of vapor, the solid part OF It
is thrown down in another receptacle
in the shape of a dry powder. Put up
in suitable packages, this powder will
keep fresh and good for long time,
and is readily made availa BILE for use
by the addition of boiling water, says
the Philadelphia Saturday Evening
Post.
Eggs are now dried by number of
different processes, most of which in
one way or another involve the use of
a wheel that picks up the fluid egg
stuff from a tank and carries it
through hot-air chamber, sometimes
by the help of belt, where it is final
ay scraped off automatically and dis
charged in a moisture-free condition
into a box. One of the most notable
inventors in this line is a woman.
Similar processes are applied in the
manufacture of desiccated soups, of
dried beef-tea. and even of pumpkin
powder" which last furnishes an al
ways-ready material for making
pumpkin pies, no matter what the sea-
son may be.
On the same principle are construct
ed the latest machines for making
what is called'"c continuous ice cream"
the cream for which is taken up and
frozen on the periphery of rotating
cylinder that contains ice or other re-
frigeratin material.
. The same Continuous" method is
being utilized for making artificial ice,
instead of the old process whereby the
water was frozen in metal-lined tanks
with the aid of ammonia pipes behind
the iron plates. According to the new
plan, the water is frozen on rotating
cylinders, inside of which is the chill
ing agent, and is scraped off as fast as
1t is converted into ice. The ice par
ticles are then pressed together. form.
ing beautiful transparent cakes.

WORLDS FINEST BUTTER.
Danish Product Is Superior to That
of Any other Coun-
try,

The butter of Denmark is consid-
cred superior to that of all other
countries, writes William f. Curtis,
in the Chicago Record-Herald. 1t
brings the highest price in fancy
markets and can be found all over
the world in shops where Injuries
are sold. In South America, South
Africa, in the East and West Indies, in
India, Egypt and in tropical coun-
tries generally 1t is used by epicures,
who pay 81 a pound for it in tins of
one, two and three pounds weight.
No other country has been able to
produce butter that will stand the
changes of climate so we'll In Hol-
land and Sweden attempts are made
to compete with the Danish dairy
men, but the butter from these coun-
tries is worth only half as much, and
does not keep half as well, while the
efforts of dalrymen in the United
States have practically failed, with a
few. isolated exceptions. There is one
creamery in Iowa, | believe, which
produces butter that stands the troD-
ic heat comparatively well, and VIII
melt and solidify as it passes from
colder to warmer and then to
colder climate, like the butter made
in Denmark.
Refrigerator ships are now found
on nearly all the big steamship
routes, and they can carry perish
ables as long and as far as necessary,
but butter shipped by the ordinary
cargo steamer usually melts and re-
mains in a liquid state as long as it
is exposed to the tropic heat When
it passes into the temperate zone
again it hardens and the change usu-
ally spoils it for the taste, entirely
destroying the flavor and leaving it
like ordinary grease or oil. The
Danes, however, produce butter
which will endure this ordeal with
out affecting it's flavor or sweetness,
and they are the only people of
whom this may be said.
therefore it is the popular impress
sion that some secret process is used
either in the preparation or the pack
ing of their butter, and | was diligent
in trying to ascertain the facts.
Every butter man / met assured me
that the Danish butter was made in
the same manner and contained the
same ingredients that are found in
the buffers of other countries, ex-
cept that the Danish dairymen were
more patient ard more careful in it's
preparation. There was no secret
process; no preservatlves were used;
no chemical change was produced be-
fore packing. Nevertheless none of
the several butter packers in Copen-
hagen would allow me to inspect
their establis hments. They explained
that strangers were not admitted I'M
der any circumstances, although
there was no particular reason why
they should not be; that applications
from American dairymen to witness
butter packing in Denmark were nu-
merous and frequent, and were al
ways denied. This seemed to confirm
the stories of secret processes.
B. w. Pursvll, Kintersville, Pa, says he
-
