New York Tribune: Among the many
southern visitors to New York this au-
tumn were Mr.. and Mrs. Delgado, of New
Orleans. Mrs. Delgado, is one of the
kindliest and most charming hostesses Of
the Crescent City. Many very clever say
ings are credited to her. She always has
been an ardent southerner and is never
at loss for a reply. Some years ago,
at the unveiling of the Lee monument in
New Orleans, a rather practical, but un-
sympathetic New Englander observed:
"Why, Mrs. Delgado, accordingto Lees
convictions, that monument is all wrong.
He has turned his back on the south and
he is looking toward the north"
"He always faced the enemy" was the
quick retort.

Comparing MIX.

The Maryland Station has recently
conducted a series of experiments for
the purpose of testing the comparative
digestibility of raw, pasteurized, and
cooked milk. We have not time nor
space to enter INTO the subject fully
but content ourselves with giving the
conclusions drawn by the station, which
perhaps in the present lack of interest
In dairying, due to good times, is about
all that our readers will care for. The
conclusions are as follows:
l. Raw milk is more easily digested
when fed to calves than either pasteur-
lied or cooked milk. 2. Contrary to
theary, cooked milk when fed to the
calves used in these experiments caused
violent securing in the majority of
trials. g. A msjority of physicians in
charge of children's hospitals cores.
ponded with favored the use of raw
milk for infants when the milk is
known to be in perfect condition, but
favored pasteurIzed milk under ordi-
nary conditions. A. With one excep-
ton all the physicians corresponded
with discourage the use of cooked or
sterilized milk for infant feeding. 8.
Skimmilk was 'ound to be as digestible
as whole raw milk.
1t should be said in this connection
that by cooked milk is not meant
warmed milk, uniformly recommended
for calves. Warming up to the tenn
perature of milk when drawn from the
COW is meant, and that is not cooking
it.-Wallsce's Farmer.

Butter Production in Iowa.


During the year ending September 80
1901, there were shipped out of the state
of Iowa S9S06,645 pounds of butter, a
net increase of 4,425,93O pounds over
the year previous. These figures have
been given out by the state dairy com
missioner and will form part of his
annual report. They will prove sur
prise to many dairymen who have been
predicting that the butter shipments in
Iowa during the past year would fall
away. The large increase over the year
1900 is attributed by the state dairy
commissioner largely to the rapid
growth in the manufacture of process
butter in the state.
During the past year process butter
factories have sprung up over the state
very rapidly. Nearly all of the butter
which is received by these factories and
worked over comes from outside the
state, so that the butter shipments as
listed by the dairy commissioner do not
represent the actual number of pounds
manufactured in Iowa. The above fig
ures represent the gross number of
pounds shipped out of the state. The
net shipments for the past year were
75, ,437 .5S2 pounds. In 1900 the net ship
ments were 71,719,329 pounds.
Reckoning on this basis there were
shipped out Of the state 1,437 pounds of
butter per square mile duriug the year
1901. During the previous year the
shipments averaged 1880 pounds per
square mile, making an increase for
this year of 81 pounds per square mile.

Many of the islands of the western
Pacific have in their streams and lakes
large numbers of eels of immense size
which seldom are used as food by the
natives, who seem to have horror of
the snakelike creatures. The cells of
Strong's island, one of the Caroline
group, are peculiar in that they hiber-
nate regularly and seek for their place
Of hibernation the loftiest places which
they can find.
These eels sometimes will climb
mountains 1000 feet high and select
the summit as the place for their win
ter's rest. They select or make de-
preston in the soft, moss covered soil
and fit themselves into it snugly, re-
naming for months at time abso-
lutely motionless and inert. Sometimes
the eels are covered with moss or yege-
table debris and at other times they
are found exposed to view with their
broad, fiat heads doubled back upon
their bodies. After their season Of
rest upon the mountain tops the eels
wriggle their way down to the val
leys and, plunging into the rivers and
lakes, begin to feed upon the craw-
fish, for which crustacean they have a
fondness which is shared by the ma
tiyes. These eels are excellent eating,
but nothing will induce the natives to
touch them, alive or dead.

Our European Friends.

The sudden ebullition of European
friendliness for the United States is
very flattering, but our heads are not
likely to be turned by it. No one doubts
that as a governmental and official ex-
preston of respect it is entirely sincere,
and in one or two cases there is no
doubt that with respect is mingled no
little good will on the part of those in
authority. But the loud execrations
that greeted American intervention in
Cuba The charges of Hypocrisy with
which our statements that our impul-
ses were humanitarian was sssailed
and the symptoms of popular dislike
for Americans travelling in Europe dur
ing the Spanish war are somewhat too
recent to be entirely forgotten, though
they are probably entirely forgiven as
the results of misinformstion and ina
bility to understand the American na-
tional character Moreover, the wide
spread expressions of hostility toward
American methods and the drastic
measures proposed to put stop to the
American invasion" are matters of al.
most current comment. In short, how
ever, much the American people may
be gratitied that Germany, Russia and
France have taken the cue of England,
and are tumbling over one another in
their efforts to prove the priority OF their
friendship and that they never had the
slightest intention of interfering In our
business with Spain. they are inclined
to accept these profession as little
more than general recognitions OF the
United States as power worth taking
into account.
Pleasing as this is it is sort of hol
low friendship unless backed by the ap.
probation of the people of Europe of
what the United States and its people
stand for. The only lasting national
friendships are based upon the respect
and admiration of one people for anoth-
er and more or less thorough under
standing of each other. That Ameri-
cans and American ideals and traits are
misunderstood and disliked by the en-
tire continent there are too many recent
proofs to permit the hope that the pres
ent diplomatic tiirtations express popu.
lar feeeling toward US. When Europe
has discovered that Chicago is not an
Indian village, that Seattle is not su-
burb of New York, that the american
tourist is inclined to be fscetious, that
American commercialism rests on a
more worthy basis than mere sordid-
ness, and that we are not nation OF
land-grabbers and hypocrites, and when
It has rid itself of some other snpersti-
tutions 1t may begin to really respect
us. In the meantime none of us are
likely to lie awake nights.-St. Paul
