 The Poultry Industry
 The poultry industry in California. and more particularly of this ehu ol the State during the past year mas heen found singularly neglected. NO ono questioned its importance.

 Lemon Water for BillousneS
 There are thousands of bilious peo- ple in the world, and the vast major ity of them have inherited it, like my self. from their ancestors, and for these I write this, and say, drink lots of lemon water, but be sparing with the sugar. I use just enough to make it palatable, but drink plenty. It's the best drink any way to my mind that man ever concocted. On very hot days I have drank two quarts full. The philosophy of it is: the acid wa ter dilutes the excess of bile in the system and washes it out, and 1t does the business. The lemon is wonder full fruit, the only fruit that bears all the time, all the year around, and when it's wonderful medicinal proper ties are better understood, will be more largely used.
 Mottles in Butter
 A number of experiments have been carried out at the Maryland Agricul- tural Station in order to ascertain the cause of mottled butter by MT. c. F. Doane, dairy bacteriologist, who gives his conclusions as follows:
 1. The uneven distribution Of salt is the cause of unevenly-colored but ter, spoken of as mottled butter.
 2. Washing the butter with water below 40 deg. does not cause mottles. It does, however, make little more working necessary to thoroughly dis tribute the salt.
 8. The light-colored streaks or DOT tions of mottled butter are not caused by an excess of casein; but mottles are evidently caused by some physlcai action of salt on the butter fat which causes it to admit more light.
 4. Mottles can be prevented by working the butter sufficiently to thoroughly distribute the salt. :,
 5. Butter washed with water at 4o deg. and under. and worked immedl- ately, shows better grain when sul- fciently worked to ensure its being evenly colored than with and other treatment. ,o
 6. Washing butter with water at At deg. and under does not injure us firmness when subjected to hlghel temperature.
 Keeping Meal Hot
 Tn every household there are occa- sions when it is impossible for every member to be present when the mea is first served.
 When it is necessary to keep mea hot for a belated conner, do not thf the plate holding the food in a ho' oven. thus discoloring the china, a' we'll as drying the food; instead place the plate upon the fire over pan of boiling water, covering th' plate with a pan that will just ii over the edge of the plate.

If the TOnopah mines did not pro
