Of the Great Beyond more mo-

Sundays ma ybe the big days
at the Pan-American exposition,
but last Sunday TIE gates draped in
mourning refused, as it were, to
swing on their hinges, because, for
sooth, the foremost man Of the land
lay corpse in the city. One glance
at the face Of the distinguished
corpse was worth more to those Wis
iting Buffalo to see the sights Of the
Pan-American exposition than a
week on the exposition grounds with
all Of its sights and wonders. Ac-
cording to the press dispatches last
Monday one-half million persons
viewed the remains on Sunday and
funeral services were held in every

he did in the city Of New York, and

this line popularized him with the

Why is Theodore Roosevelt common
~ spoken Of as the twenty-sixth Pres
fdent of the United States when he Is
only the twenty-fifth man to hold that
ONCE? Obviously because some one
thoughtlessly spoke Of President Cleve-
land, whose two terms OF Office were
disconnected, as the "twenty-second
and twenty-fourth President of the
United States. But in list Of men,
not Of terms Of Office, should Mr. Cleve-
land be assigned two numbers? It Is
more logical to call him the twenty
second President of the United States,
since he was the same man in both
terms, and accordingly to call Mr.
Roosevelt the twenty-fifth President.
He is filling out the twenty-ninth
Presidential term.

ton OF their premises will sometimes

In a good many instances It comes
from the dust on the udders of the

,,ri,hiness, Ia Butter

The New Zealand Dairyman reports
that at lecture delivered on the 18th
of May at the eighth annual conference
of the Australian Butter and Cheese
Factory Managers Association. held
at Melbourne. Mr.. Thomas Cherry,
M. D., M. S., lecturer in bacteriology.
Melbourne University. said: Il may
say a word or two about one special
defect in butter which has attracted
q great deal of attention during the
past two or three years, namely. fish
mess" This peculiar flavor is due to
chemical substance called "trimeth'
ylamine." which was first isolated
from herring brine. and which gives
the brine its peculiar flavor. During
the last ten or twelve years tri-
methylamine has been extracted In
small quantities from many kinds OF
purifying substances, and 1t Is now
known to be a product Of the growth
Of at least score of different micro
organisms. 1t can be produced py
sowing a pure culture Of these, just In
the same way as pure culture OF the
Tactic acid bacteria produces the
agreeable aroma of good butter. the
primary cause Of fishiness Is therefore
the accidental invasion of the butter
by an organism capable of setting up
this change. Among such organisms
there are several bacteria which are
found in dirty water. and others
whose natural home seems to be sea
water But these bacteria are not
able to manufacture trimethylamine
from pure butter-fat and milk sugar.
The material from which they pro-
duce it is the butter-milk or curd; that
is to say. 1t is product Of the putre-
faction of proteid substances. Further.
some of these organisms grow very
slowly. and at comparatively low tenn.
peratures; and finally, the addition Oh
an extra amount of salt seems to IA
vor their development
The experiments which are being
conducted at the University Labora-
tory are not yet complete enough for
full report to be given, but think
sufficient information has been OBJ
tanned to justify the above conclu.
sions. II so, it is evident that fish
mess is not simple matter to be
cured by any single remedy. On the
contrary, it may originate at any
stage in the process Of manufacture.
The organism may find its way into
the milk on the farm and be carried
over into the cream, and thence to
the butter, or 1t may come from the
water used to wash the butter. or even
possibly from the salt.

American Butter and Cheese Abroad.
York, says that his experience with
dairy products in England shows that
very little American butter Is to be
found there. The amount of Amer
lean cheese there is also small. He
stated at meeting in New York that
he had inquired the reason for this
and had been told that the dealers
had not sufficient confidence in Amer
lean goods. This Is due to the vast
amount of fraud that has been prac-
ticed, and contrasts strongly with the
methods followed by the Canadians,
who make goods that will stand the
test. He charges that the Americans
work for the greatest possible immed-
late profit. That his charges are part
ly true we must admit, but there is a
point that modifies the situation con-
siderably. He says that he finds lit
tie butter or cheese on the English
market. This is partly explained by
the fact that dealers in all kinds OF
goods resort to the trick of false
branding. Though the sale In Eng
land of American cheese has fallen of
considerably from what Il was few
years ago, we still sell good deal
Of that product to the English peo-
pie. II 1t does not appear as Amer
lean cheese on the English markets
II does appear under some other
brand. Just now the Canadians have
quite reputation for their cheese
and good deal Of the best quality of
American cheese Is doubtless sold as
Canadian, while the poorest Canadian
cheese is branded American. We
know the trick is worked with Amer
lean meats and see no reason why 1t
should not be used In the sale OF dairy
products. Americans should work for
better reputation abroad, and that
reputation can be gained only by
sending to foreign countries goods
fully up to the requirements.
