O'Flaherty, thinking of Molly and
"Jamesy" and Mrs. Mullaney as he
went. And thinking a little, too, per-
haps, of the bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked
Irish girl for whose sake he had been
hurried of to college a little earlier
than he had expected, but Of whose
charms a man dedicated to the priest
hood from his infancy had no right to
think. She too. had looked a little
pale and troubled when last he saw

II was a neat little house Ia a neat

its neatness that Mrs. Mullaney was
proud Of il. She had bought that

seamstress, aided by the little she

should marry common teamster :"
although young Jamesy" Murphy

II is doubtful If the young people
would ever have had a chance to be
happy without making a run for H.
which Molly would never have con-

Father O'Flaherty was the boyish-

man just out from Ireland, and, once
more to quote Mrs. Mullaney, "wur-
rekin' loike the very divvle ter bate

was consuming him. Father O'Fla-
herty was fond Of calling at the Null

reminded him Of the good, hard-work-

rifced her own joy in his presence for
the sake Of his future well-being. He
was sorry, upon the occasion Of the
call which directly followed Mrs. Null

We say that prices are regulated
by supply and demand. but we are apt
to lose sight OF the important part
which quality plays in stimulating
consumption and thus maintaining
prices. Breeders who have placed
themselves in the van Of the move
ment to improve the live stock Of this
country have not only raised the
STANDARD of production. but have
stimulated the demand for the best.
In other words, their work has been
wofoh; it has educated the taste Of
the consumer, while 1t has striYen to
meet the demand thus created. Eng
lishmen who came to America ten or
fifteen years ago and who interested
themselves in live stock statistics. ex-
pressed great surprise over the small
consumption Of mutton by our people.
but after they had sampled the cook
ed article in the hotels Of the United
States they ceased to wonder that
Americans had little appetite for that
kind of meat. Under the encourage
ment Of a protective tariff farmers
raised sheep for wool and the mutton
disposed Of was a by-product The
quality Of the meat was on a par with
the beef retailed In certain out-of-
the-way-dqiry districts whose markets
are supplied from the local stock OF
old COWS fattened and sent to the
shambles.
With an increased supply butchers
and packers have learned that the
best OF mutton must be killed and
dressed SO carefully that no taint from
the oil always present in the wool
reaches the meat to give it the flavor
so unpleasant to many fastidious pal
ates, and q is careful dressing has
also helped the trade The improve
ment Of export facilities have like
wise encouraged the raising OF NUT
ton sheep, but that, as Kipling says,
is another story. Though the growth
Of this branch of live stock industry
has been rapid it has been permanent.
Mutton now holds high rank with
other meats in the estimation Of our
people and its popularity is increas-
ing.

A few weeks ago the newspapers re-
ported the organization Of a union Of
farm laborers In southern Indiana, the
nrst union Of that kind in the state
The Immediate effect Of the organiza-
tion was to increase the wages Of
farm labor 100 per cent as Il was
the harvest season when crops had
to be gathered at any cost. Il was
doubtless a great hardship to many
farmers. for in most cases we believe
they are paying for labor all that the
returns from their farms will Justify.

America. but nowhere viii it be found

Prof F. H. Hall Of the Geneva Ex-
pertinent station. has issued a bulletin
on Flavor in Milk and Its Products :"
In part be says.
Good favor sells milk, cream, but
ter and cheese; poor flavor condemns
them. The ordinary consumer calls
flavor the taste" of the article that
tickles his palate: but the expert
knows that the nerves OF smell play
the larger part. and he depends for
his judgment largely upon a trained
nose. Hence we see the butter Judge
or cheese scorer pass the trier be-
meath his nostrils with deep-drawn
breath and meditative study Of the
aroma that ariseu. We can separate
the faulty aavors into classes by their
origin. The minute particles thrown
on by dairy products, whose impact
upon tongue or nostrils give rise 70
taste or smell, may come 1) from
compounds in the food Of the COW or

ventilated stables or rooms reeking

rect result Of the activity Of living

If they are fed within a few hours be-
fore milking; but when fed soon
after the COWS are mllked the volatile
oils TO which these odors are due win
generally disappear from the animals
system before the next morning or
evening.
Too often odors Of the second class
are assigned to the first. and the old
COW takes the blame for mans fault;
as milk very readily and quickly
takes up smells and tastes from its
surroundings. When the owner de-
livers milk to the factory and is told
that II smells bad" be forgets that
he or his men let it stand in the un-
cleaned stable to draw In the "cowya

Odors of these two classes. due to
volatile compounds in the milk, are
OF most Importance in the milk ana

appear In making butter and cheese.
Thorough aeration is often helpful In
the removal Of such hayors.
Odors OF the third class, except Ia
