Dieestibility of skimmi1k.

Enormous quantities of skimmilk
are taken from the creameries of the
country every year and fed with good
results to hogs and young calves.
Among families where only one cow is
kept or where there is tendency to
be economical in saving the cream for
table use or butter making the skim
milk is used for drinking, and many
small children receive large share Of
their nourishment in this way. That
skimmilk is nourishing has never been
denied except in few instances where
ignorance has led to the claim that
separator skimmilk was so poor as to
be unfit for use. 1t is palatable, to
many even more palatable than the
whole milk, and it's wholesale use
makes it interesting to know if the re-
moval of the fat from the other con-
stituents causes the latter, especially
the protein, to be any harder to digest
than they are when the whole milk is
consumed. Experiments at the Mary
land station make it appear that it does
not.

LADIES AT DINNER.
From the Position of Carver to the
Principal Seat.

From the Position of Carver to the
Principal Seat.
The presence of ladies at dinner was
brought about by necessity more than
by the sallantry due to their sex.
Servers ard henchmen were superseded
by lady carvers, who worked at a side
table. In Elizabethan times at private
dinners it became usual to place the
principal joints and grand pieces at
the upper end of the table, above the
salt, so the chief guests could see the
joints and secure choice helpings. We
have something of this kind in the hab-
1t which prevails at restaurants of first
showing the game, poultry, ETC., to the
diners before carving. The place which
came to the fair sex from necessity was
soon claimed by them as their right
and they passed from the mental posi-
ton Of carver to the occupiers of the
principal seat. The lady had helpers
who deemed it an honor to serve her
in their turn.
In this duty of semiprofessional cary
er lies one of the first causes of the
paper frills for legs of mutton, etc, for
1t was used in every case where the op-
orator had to grasp some tangible part
of the joint with the left hand. In 1868
a grand dame suggested that it would
appear more comely and decent to use
fork" this in spite of existing pref
udice.
1t was at this time, too that travellers
from Holland introduced into England
the fashion of seating men and women
| alternately, the adoption of which put
an end to lady carvers. Then the au-
thor of "The Cooks Oracle" suggested
that joints and large birds should be
carved before they came to table, thus
starting the now prevailing fashion of

SAVED BY DUST.

How a Handful of Soldiers Fooled
General Early.
"Did l ever tell you how clouds of
dust once saved Washington city from
what many people believe would have
been certain capture at the hands of
the COnfederates| asked a member Of
the old Veterans Reserve corps, which
was on duty at Fort Stevens during the
war.
1t was when the Army of Northern
Virginia was just outside the Capital
City. You may remember that General
Early, who was in command of this
particular division of the Confederate
forces. in writing to refute statements
published in northern papers to the eff
feet that he could easily have marched
into Washington, said: 1 knew the de-
lenses were weak when | arrived. but
my troops were SO exhausted from the
enforced march that halt was abso-
lutely necessary, and the next morning
l knew, by clouds of dust. that re-en-
forcements lad arrived
THAT dust, gentlemen, gas raised by
few men, not exceeding 100, of the
Veteran Reserve corps. The Temporal
ry commander of this company stout
man of medium height, whose name or
rank | did not learn, because he wore
no blouse or insignia, placed the men in
line in the rear of and between Fort
Stevens and Fort Slocum. After max
ing short speech in which he urged
every man to do his best he directed
us to march down some distance on the
grass past Fort Stevens. Once there
he told us to break ranks and right
about, returning in the middle of the
road and kicking up all the dust we
possibly could.
We doubled on the line, marching
down on the grass and coming back in
the dusty road. 1t was a dry season,
and we all had on broad soled shoes.
We made the dust fly, l tell you, and
1t is no wonder General Early thought
re-enforcements by the thousands had
come to the relief of the handful on
duty at the forts. "-Washington Star.

During a still night when frosts oc-
cur the surface of the hillside cools by
radiation, and hence cools the air in
contact with it. The latter flows down
ward as long as it's cooling by radia-
ton and conductiOn exceeds it's warm
ing by compression. Inasmuch as it's
cooling depends on contact with still
colder soil Or plant, it soon accumulates
in the lowlands as a layer of cold air,
which grows thicker during the night
by the steady addition of the thin lay
.er of descending air in contact with the
ground on the hillsides. The warmer
air which has not yet had an opportu-
nifty to cool by contact with the ground
floats on top of the cold mass. 1t
spreads out toward the hills and is con-
tinuously furnishing it's heat to the adj
jacent hillsides as fast as it comes in
contact with them before it also cools
and descends. The formation of the
thermal belt seems to depend largely
upon this gentle circulation during the
nighttime. Frost may be expected on
low grounds at times when higher
grounds escape the visitations, and the
lesson taught is that early and tender
crops should so far as may be practica-
BILE be confined to crests, hillsides and
mountain sides and later and harder
crops to the lowlands and valleys.

MONEY IN MULES.
! II You Are Locking For an Article to
Produce at a Profit.

II You Are Looking For an Article TO
Produce at Profit.
In one of the stock notes in a recent
Farm Journal some one reflects that
''there must be money in raising mules
if the producer gets a fair share of the
amount the buyer has to pay for
them"
Will you let a friend of the mule
have a little space in which to speak
a kind word for him? says writer in
the journal mentioned. The recent
Government Report Upon the Num-
bers and Values of Farm Animals" re
veals some interesting facts, of which
probably few have been aware. In it
mules are quoted higher than any 9th
er farm stock, higher even than that
noblest of all domestic animals-the
horse.
The figures compiled by the Stats
tician from data furnished by CORE
spondents all over the United States
give the comparative values of stock
graded into four classes-under one
year, between one and two, between
two and three and over three.
In the first three classes, which take
in all under three years old, there are
but four states which count horses
more valuable than mules But the
bulk of the stock is, of course, over
three years old, and there is not a sin
gle state which does not estimate it's
mules of this class as worth more per
head than it's horses.
In fact the total figures for the coun-
try credit the mule as being almost 9
per cent more valuable than the horse,
the general average being for horses
$S7.35 and for mules $953S. The rela-
tive values of animals under three
years are even further apart, mule
colts being Is and yearlings and two
year-olds IA per cent higher than
horses.
Now, what is the lesson to be gather
ed from these figures? Simply this

The recital given by Mrs. Charles
w. Norquist last evening at the Pres
byterian church was listened to by a
large and appreciative audience. The
music loving public expected a treat
and they were not disappointed. Mrs.
Norquist has a voice of rare power
and sweetness with the further ad-
vantage of having been trained by
the best masters abroad. The pro-
gram was one of excellent selections
and its enjoyment was added to not
a little by Mrs. Campbell as accom-
PIANIST and Prof. Parent as violinist
Among the selections rendered it
would be difficult to say that anyone
as given excelled in merit or beauty,
but the numbers most popular with
the audience seemed to be the
Scotch Ballad" and ''My Rosary"
The response to the encore for the
latter was especially fine. The per-
sonal attractiveness of the singer was
in keeping with the sweetness and
charm of the songs, all of which was
heightened by the simple and elegant
costumes of both Mrs. Norquist and
Mrs. Campbell.

Turkestan Alfalfa Gopher Free.

According to Country Gentleman, a
Walla Walla letter states that an ex-
pertinent in growing Turkestan alfalfa
for seed in that section under federal
government contract has been sue
cess. Elsewhere no seed was obtained.
Forty acres were sown and a fine crop
of hay was secured, though obtaining
the seed crop was more difficult. AS a
hay this clover has tall but not coarse
stalk and makes more tons to the acre
than ordinary clover. Its main fea-
ture is immunity to gopher attack. On
semiarid soil two crops can be obtained
without irrigation and on irrigated soil
as many as other varieties of alfalfa.
The forty acres will be sown again for
government seed purposes.

Their campaigns against the engineers.
iremen and pumpmen Is nearly over,
most Of these men being out, and the
union is now paying more attention TO
the fire bosses, clerks and others who
have taken the places of those who
quit. Pressure is being brought to bear
on them in every possible way. Quite
a number of the fire bosses throughout
the region have already stopped work
because they had been asked to take the
strikers places, and at a meeting held
here yesterday afternoon about a dozen
more consented to join the strikers. The
labor leaders hope to have more out on
Monday. The company officials are
aware of the attack on the fire bosses
and they are making an effort to hold
them.
