Pure Water for wsshlno eetter.


The manager of an Australian but
ter factory says that he has found
1t to be practically impossible to make
good butter with water from creeks
and streams. He first experimental
with water from streams and rain
water caught in 1000 gallon tanks
He invariably found that the butter
washed with stream water got OF
flavor after II had been In the mar
ket little while. but that the water
washed with rain water remained
good for a long time. He then tried
uttered and unflltered water. The
butter was made in two lots and
watched. After seven days both but
tors were good. After fourteen days
the butter washed with filtered water
was good, while tho butter made with
unfiltered water was slightly on and
molds were showing on the parchment
After twcnty-one days the first butter
was still good, while tho other was
on In flavor and was bitter near the
surface. After forty-two days the
butter washed with filtered water was
good, while the other was more pro
nounced In its bitterness. At fifty.
six days the first butter was slightly
on in flavor but eatable. with no mold
showing. Tie butter washed with
unfiltered water was very moldy and
had rank and very bitter flavor
The unfiltered water had all the ap.
pearance to the eye OF being pure,
Without doubt much OF the bad flavor
OF butter is caused by the water with
which 1t ls washed.

Hope for the Aoa crop.

The short corn crop OF last year IS
very largely responsible for the high
pr.ces that are being paid for hogs
to-day. These high prices. II long
continued, are certain to affect the
HABITS of the people as to the eating
OF hog meat. 1t is for the benefit Of
the pork producer to have prices at
medium point but have a market
FOR an enormous number OF hogs. In
this way the profits are widely dis.
tributed through the farming com
munities. rhe whole country is hap
pier for It. Certainly no one wants
to see an era of high prices for foods
and congested money centers. The
outlook for the corn crop is now good.
Farmers that have hogs will not need
to send them to market before they
are at size to be marketed to the
best OF advantage. A 250-pound hog
is far more profitable under ordinary
conditions than is the 150-pound hog.
Tie short swine supply to-day is large
ly due to the fact that last year and
thir spring hogs too light In weight
we're marketed. The rapidity with
which swine multiply will save the
situation. Meantime every farmer ana
every citizen is Interested in hav-
ing good big crop Of healthy hogs.

Price for Poultry produsts.

From the Farmers Review: What
have been the prices for poultry prod
ucts this summer as compared with
previous years? Friends In the city
write me that they have been paying
at least 90 per cent more for all their
eggs and fowls this summer than
ever before. think If some OF us
would report these prices TO the Farm
ers' Review It woald be Of general
interest.-Hiram Parks.

possIbllltIes In Cow Development.

Possibilities In Cow Development.
The dairy commissioner OF Mime
sofa says that the dairy COWS OF that
state are producing only one-third the
amount OF milk and butter fat they
should produce. What is true OF
Minnesota is true OF every state of
the Union. The dairy proposition
would not be such a serious one to
face II we could get men to deal with
II intelligently and develop their cows.
Unfortunately for the dairy interest
we have a great multitude of farmers
that see in the COW no possibility Of
development. They imagine that
feeding her on common prairie hay or
on wire grass pasture will mako as
good dairy COW out OF her as she
could be anyway. But this is not the
case, The COW that is well fed from
calfhood to motherhood makes a far
better mixer than does the one that
is left to hustle for herself on all
kinds of pastures. II has been dem.
onstrated that even the common cows
OF our country can be made to yield
far more profit than they do at the
present time II they are given the care
that growing COWS need. Cows are
generally fed hit-ormiss. Being
young stock" they are considered
OF no particular moment. Perhaps tho
only food they have for weeks is dry
straw. That they do not get the nutri-
ment needed from this food is a mat
ter Of little importance to the owner
who simply says "oh. well. they are
not giving milk" Right feeding and
development must go together.

Winter Protection Of strawberrIes.


In the case of Strawberries It is not
the .eezing that does the injury. On
many soils. especially Gay. when the
ground freezes all night and thaws
the next day under the influence OF
the bright sun. the ground contracts
and expands. and thus heaves the
plants up, pulling the roots loose,
which weakens mem. Now !. W. place
some coarse litter over tIe I.apts
merely to shade them from the sun
to prevent thawing during the day.
and the frost comes o,,t very slowly.
no injury can result. The plant must
have air for Its foliage even II frozen
solid. hence. any heavy. dense mass
like manure will smother and injure
1t. The strong ammonia washing
down from manure is very bad for
the foliage. and It should never b.
placed directly on the plants. but II
may serve good purpose In conserv
ing moisture between the rows. Light
chaff. straw. or marsh hay may b,
used.-R- NJ. Kellogg.

fl PROP ER PROTEST.

The startling news comes from Rou- mania that the Minister of Public In struetion there has issued an order for bidding the use of corsets by girls in any of the government schools The head mistress of each school will be held responsible for the carrying out Of this rule, it being suggested by the au- thorities that she and her assistants should set their pupils @ good example by not wearing corsets themselves. The pupils are furious at this order of the government, and are backed up by the younger governesses, who are up in arms against what they consider an in- fringement of the rights of women.
 Those who are up fin arms against this order are rightly so up, and it is to be hoped that they will stay so. What can a male minister of public instruc- tion in Roumania possibly know about what young women ought to wear? There are people in Paris who do know, but they don't get their tips from Rou- mania.

THE REPUBLIcAX CONVENTION.

Those who think that 8 mans good qualities don't receive adequate recog- milton until the record is made on his tombstone should attend political con- vention and hear the nominating speeches. The speeches yesterday at Hartford made it tolerably clear that there are some pretty good men in the Republican party in Connecticut. and as none but good men were nominated it is evident that none but good men were selected. The ticket is one for which all Republicans can and will work heartily, and with hearty work the outlook for success is bright. There are those who feel a little dubious about thorough Republican success in Connecticut this fall. We do not share this dubiety, but it is perhaps well enough to be scared enough to work. And the time for prudent fear is before election, not afterward. So it will be WAaS HUI Lo AC4y OLL hAG oAoRANASS NAAN squabbling of the Democrats. The ac- tivity and harmony of Republicans are the things to rely on.
 The platform is a skillful one and more grammatical than some such doc uments have been. It ''indorses" and ''favors" President Roosevelt. It says the Republicans of Connecticut believe in protective tariff, with such tinker ing as is needed to correct the trusts without impairing the principle of pro- lection. They also believe in reciproci- ty, the value and dignity of labor, in supervised trusts, in Senator Platt and Governor Mclean, in the historic town system, in reasonable constitutional re- form, and in the State ticket.
 The convention capped the climax by providing for increased representation in future conventions. This is famous victory for. those who have persistent ly urged such action, prominent among whom is Colonel Ullman of this city.

saWmilIs, wagon-making. brush-mak- ing, plumbing. hospitals, slaughter houses. ice-nlaking, rabbit breeding. sheep farming, hop-growing, racing. theatres, making paving stones. etc. These things are carried on at the cost, or risk, of taxpayers, by elected officials without speciel skill in the various kinds of business. The London Times has come to the conclusion that ''mu- nicipal trading threatens the ruin of taxpayers by increasing tax burdens beyond reason. The national debt of the United Kingdom was reduced be- tween 1874 and 1899 by $685. .OOO, ,OOO, but in that time municipal debts increased by s915, 5,0OO,OOO. and now stand at s1,50o, OOO.- 900. Huddersfeld, for example. has borrowed s2815 for each $500 of taxable value, and Manchester nearly as much. A correspondent of the Times shows that municipal trading is seldom really profitable, even when official reports seem to show that it is. Insufficient al- lowance, or no allowance at all, is made for depreciation of plant, reserve, sink ing fund or other items which the wise business man takes account of in his private business, while fancy value to mead for municipal trading pays no taxes and this loss of taxes is never included in official reports. Apparent profits on examination turn out to be losses. Sheffield, for example, reported a net profit on it's municipal street-car lines of $16O,000, but this was without nak- ing allowance for depreciation, which would be some $175,00O a year. The municipal books are kept in such a way as to conceal losses in the businesses carried on, the result being that the taxpayer makes up the deficits. If one industry actually makes a profit, it is transferred to another which netted a loss. It is the common practice to re- port no charge for increased work for clerks whose salaries come out of taxes, thus conveying a false impression as to the profitableness of the municipal in- dustry. Often the losses are too large to cover up. Cardiff, for example, on its capital of $1,41s,155 embarked in a variety of industries, had to report last year loss of ST, 1882, though it's capital. loaned at per cent, would have pro- duced profit of $56,67O. Even if profits are made, they do not as rule go to reduce taxes, but promote extrava- gance.
 And yet there are people who profess to see in municipal trading a cure for most of the evils of bad government. Such people mean well, but there is in- creasing evidence that they don't know.

I am not aware, he says, ''of any urgent demand that I stand up and be shot at. None of the prominent citizens of the town ship has urged me to allow my name to come before the primary. In fact, very few besides myself have even sur missed that I had a yearning for the office until now. But the subject has been worrying me for two or three days, and after much deliberation and against the protest of the other and better half of the household I have con- cluded to enter the race. Why? Be- cause want the job. I believe I can hold 1t down, and I am willing to try The little money there is in it will help me to pay for my home, and the honor in it will be step toward the United States presidency, which will place me in position-if I get tito procure for this township federal building and an extension of the Panama canal"

It is related that in an experiment whose purpose was te trace the stages of development of a baby's mind the infant was placed before mirror daily. During the earliest stage of the test he simply looked at his reflection, as birds do. He next showed fear of it, as do many of the higher animals. He then grasped at it with his hands, as cats strike at reflections with their paws. Later he looked behind the glass to find the object, as cats and monkeys have been known to do. But on the 420th day of his life he deliberately turned the glass at different angles to obtain required reflections, an intelli- gence not possessed by any animal other than man.
