An Error That Never Dies.

The old idea that food affects the
fat content of milk seems to be one
that dies hard. A recent bulletin of
the Chicago health department said:
There is all the more need Of keep
ing milk sweet at the present time,
since the frequent rains have made
pastures so rank and watery that
much larger proportion than usual of
the milk supply is deficient in butter
fat and other nutrient qualities. Full
ly one-twelfth of all the samples now
examined in the laboratory are below
the ordinance standard in this re-
spect, and a.. large number of suits
have been begun against the vendors
of this poor milk" Who the man Is
that is responsible for the bulletin we
do not know. It serves as good ex-
cuse for the men that wish to water
their milk. They go into court and
plead that the water got into their
milk by way of the udder of the COWS.

WHAT THE LIGHTNING DOES.
Between Seven and Eight Hundred
Lives Lost Each Year From Electric

Between Seven and Eight Hundred
Lives Lost Each Year From Electric
Shocks.
1t is probably not generally known,
or even imagined, that every year in
this country between 700 and 800 lives
are lost by lightning stroke, and more
than q thousand persons injured. Dur
ing 1899 there were 1888 animals
cattle, horses, mules, sheep or pigs
killed by lightning in the open fields,
while the value of property destroyed,
either directly or through fires caused
by bolts, was estimated at $6,000,000.
There are numberless cases on rec
ord where whole herds of sheep and
cattle have been struck with fatal ef-
feet. In one instance, in Colorado,
ninety-one sheep were killed by sin
gle stroke, and ffty-two in another.
In Iowa where, during the year, 266
cattle were killed by lightning, the Gu
rious fact was noticed that 118 were
found in close contact with wire fences.
Their death was probably caused by
the shock received from the fence,
and not from the direct stroke, as it
was evident in many cases, that the
lightning struck the fence at some dis
lance from the animals. If there had
been sufficient ground connection from
the fence, the cattle would probably
have been saved.-Leslie' sMonthly.

Queer Case OF Eqq Eating.

A writer in an unidentified exchange
says: have a curious case OF egg
eating now in my yards. A few weeks
ago 1t began to happen regularly that
some OF the eggs in two adjoining
nests In one corner of one of the pens
were broken and eaten late In the
afternoon, the eggs not broken Delng
very much daubed up, ad We nests
torn to pieces. 1t was, never done
early in the day, and If eggs were
gathered about 3 or 4 o'clock there
was no trouble. AS soon as had an
opportunity l set watch for the cul-
prit, and caught a two-year-old men
in the act. She was shut In small
pen occasionally used for sitters until
an opportunity to dress her occurred.
The next evening when came home
I discovered that she had laid on the
floor, but had paid no attention to the
egg. I put in a nest box, and left
her there for few days. She laid
almost daily, and never disturbed the
nest or egg.
There was one hen-identity Urn.
tanown-which, instead of laying In
the house, laid among some raspberry
bushes beside a stone wall at one side
of the yard. AS no eggs were laid
there while this hen was shut up, the
conclusion was reached that she was
that hen. Taking it for granted that
as she did not modest her own eggs,
she was not a confirmed egg eater,
returned her to the pen from which
she had been taken. The nest by the
wall again contained an egg almost
daily. For perhaps a week the nests
in the houses we're not disturbed.
Then one day 1 came home late in
the afternoon to find those same two
nests all torn up. Next day l came
earlier and caught this same hen in
the act.
Again 1 shut her up intending to
kill her--this time in an unused dog
house, putting a couple of Stats over
the opening. She laid here the next
day and the day following, and did
not attempt to eat her egg. So as a
final test put few eggs in the nest
in the pen where the breeding hens
are kept, and put her in the yard. In
less than ten minutes she had found
her way to this nest, had broken the
eggs-and was back in the dog house.
This time she gets no reprieVe. But
why doesn't she break her own eggs?

Pure Water for Butter Washing.

Pure Water for Butter Washing. I
The keeping quality of butter de"
ponds very greatly on the water IN
which 1t is washed. IL the water looks
clear it is generally supposed to be
pure. But the microscope has shown
that the water that looks as clear as
crystal is frequently the abiding place
germs of various kinds. We predict
that the time will come when butter
made in our first-class creameries will
be washed in sterilized water. There
have been numerous cases where but
ter made under highly scientific con-
ditions has gone off flavor in a short
time and subsequent investigations
has shown that the apparently pure
water in which it was washed was
the cause. In the home of the farmer
the we'll is usually depended on to fur
nish water for washing butter as well
as for other uses. Too often the well
is dirty from different causes: We
have seen such wells where the water
actually WIS odorous with decaying
animal life. Yet after the water be-
came tainted it was still used for
weeks by the family. One such well
on being cleaned out WAS found to
contain great masses of dead angle
worms. It is no unusual thing for
frogs and even mice to get into wells
and become decayed before their pres
ence is detected. Even when nothing
of this kind exists the water may not
be pure enough to use for the washing
of butter. Germs of many kinds cap
able Of reproducing themselves in the
butter may be in the water. It is an
easy matter for the farmer to boil
water used for the washing of butter.
This is advisable certainly when long.
keeping butter is desired. It would
not be amiss to use sterilized water at
all times. Could we but bring it into
general use in the washing of butter
the spread of disease would be pre-
vented in some degree. 1t has been
shown that even in butter typhoid few
err and other disease germs have been
carried.

SOLVING THE TRUST PROBLEM

In speaking OF the speeches OF President
Roosevelt against the tarif-fostered trusts,
the New York Herald, that great exponent
of conservatism and wisdom Ia journalism,
says, and well says:
Noteworthy as is the Presidents speech
for what 1t says, 1t is strikingly more 80 for
its silence on the most vital aspect Of the
matter-namely protection. In that lies the
very root of the trust evil, and there the
knife must be applied II the abuse is to be
remedied. The worst trusts are but the
natural fruit of protection. They were born
Of it and were fattened on 1t. BY it they
have been and yet are shielded from foreign
competition by prohibitive duties on meat,
iron, steel-in short, everything in which
flourishing trusts or monopolies have been
formed. When the party In power cries,
Don't touch the tariff 1t In effect says,
Don't touch the trusts
at is simply idle TO talk of solving the
trust problem without tariff revision, which
is the way and the first step toward solution.
Fortunately the power Of Congress is here
absolute and unquestioned, and hence can
be exercised without the necessity of Con-
stitutional amendment, as suggested by the
President. We do not mean TO say or imply
that in looping off needless protection is to be
found the complete solution of the problem
or the whole remedy for trust abuses. 1t
cannot dispense with the necessity or desr
ability of wise national regulation but with.
out tariff revision no regulation can go to
the root of the evil"

AN OBJECT LESSON.

Picture this little scene to yourself:
An American housewife goes into a store
and buys pound OF borax, paying cents
for IT, As she turns away with her package
another housewife comes 10 and buys two
pounds Of borax and is charged cents for
her purchase.
why do you charge me cents for one
pound OF borax and let that other woman
have two pounds for 5centsS" the American
housewife demands.
"oh," answers the storekeeper bandly,
"she's English, you know"
How long would that storekeeper openly
discriminating in favor Of the foreign and
against the native customer, be able to do
business anywhere in the United StatesS
Yet this Transaction in borax illustrates
perfectly what the trusts are doing on a
colossal scale 10 the home aud foreign
markets.-New York Journal
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1902-09-26
OUR STRONGEST SPEAKER.

president Roosevelt is our strongest
speaker In the field" This was the smiling
remark OF Chairman James M. Grigg, Of
the Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee, when asked on Monday what
he thought of the Presidents Cincinnati
speech, in which the tariff question as 1t re-
lates 10 trusts was dwelt on at length.
"The President is crystallizng the pop
ular belief which is just at this time cleo.
trifying the minds Of the people OF this
country that the trusts should be regulated
At the same time that the President Is crys.
tallizing this belief he is telling the people in
almost direct Language that they can expect
nothing from his party in the way OF rene
dial legislation, at least not for years.
with this in mind. the people will real
lie that the Democratic party is the party,
and the only party, ready for action now.
There is absolutely no ground for the Pres
idenrs warning that the Democratic party
would destroy both the trusts that do Ill and
the trusts that do good, as he terms them, as
we'll as the general prosperity OF the coun'
try. The Democratic party will be just as
careful In administering its trust medicine
as the Republican party can be. We shall
neither destroy the business interests of the
country nor injure the wage earners We
are as patriotic as the Republican party, and
we are not opposed to vested rights or TO
property as such. We simply favor giving
every man an equal chance in the race of
life, and wherever the tariff shelters the
trusts, as We know it does, we propose to so
modify 1t as 10 remedy the evil.
1.-THE President admits that the removal
of the tariff from some of the trust products
that do i'll might be remedy. The people
know that this would be remedy, and the
more the President talks along these lines
the better will the Democrats be satisfied"
