MOONSHlNERS' SIGNALS.

Notice of the Revenue Mems Coming
Given by Blowing Horns.
United States Revenue Collector Asa
Rogers of Richmond, Va. received de-
tail reports recently from the revenue
agents in Carroll county showing how
all their efforts at raiding Illicit stills
this season had been thwarted by the
blowing of horns and by a new and
thorough system Of signals which were
run up from every cabin in the noun
tain territory where the moonshiners
were known to be doing business, says
the Baltimore American.
The scene of a proposed seizure was
near Pick postofiice, in Carroll county,
rugged country of hollows and knobs,
and from every crag as the officers in
the party approached long tin horn
would be sounded and taken up ahead
of them by the occupants of the next
mountain home. So their coming was
told over the whole country and their
visit given such wide announcement
that they were forced to leave the Sec
ton, giving up their hunt for illicit
distilleries. Not only did the NOON
sinners. through these trumpet blasts,
have ample time to remove every trace
of their Illicit brandy making, but they
took vengeance on the man who in
formed the revenue officers by burning
his home and that Of his father n-law.

The magnificent old Corniche road

TEN, according to the London Mail. No
rails will be laid. The cars are prac.
tically large electric motor cars minus
accumuators. The motor receives its
electrical power from overhead wires.
Central electrical works will provide
the current, which will pass through
two parallel aerial wires supported by
posts. One wire will be used by the
ascending, the other by the descending
vehicle. Great economy of energy is
obtained. besides the gain of all the
space and the avoidance of the weight
Of the aecumulators. One feature Of
the system is the ease with which the
motor cars will make way or pass
around any carriage they encounter,
the connecting wire being sufficiently
long to allow of such deviations.

Machinery has been designed for

corn, who has relied solely upon the

finest condition for use. but also husks
the ears from the stalks and carries
the hay to the highest barn loft or
stack. Baled corn hay is rapidly find

was used by the firemen in sliding down
quickly when an alarm found them up

added critically. but it must be very

Classy Fermentatlon-Thi Is the
worst and commonest trouble in cheese
factories. and is caused by bacteria
breaking down the sugar in the milk
and producing gas therefrom. This
gas causes the appearance known to
cheese-makers as pin hole or gassy
curds. These harmful germs gain ad-
mittance to the milk in the process of
milking or after the milk is drawn
from the udder. Particles Of manure,
stagnant water and dirty pastures con-
tain this class of gas-producing germ
in large numbers, and 1t is easy to see
how they gain access to the milk by
careless milking. Cows lying on the
ground or walking through stagnant
water get their hairy coats seeded with
these noxious forms. and they are
dislodged from the animals coat into
the milk pail by the movements of
milking. The high temperature at
which milk is usually kept during the
summer favors their growth, and they
consequently become very numerous In
the milk. We have recently made
several analyses of water sent from
cheese factories, and have found
therein large numbers of gas-produc-
ing germs.
TO avoid as far as possible the con-
tamination from milking it is advisable
before commencing a. to brush well
the cows udder and that part of her
thigh, flank and side next to the
milker; (2) to rub the udder and teats
carefully with clean, damp cloth.
Bad FlavOrs-There are many we'll
known defects in cheese. generally in
dicated by such expressions as "off
flavor" mot clean flavor" tainted"
goose favor" 'yeasty," "bitter," etc.
all of which are abnormal fiavors,
due in the majority of instances to
noxious bacteria gaining access to the
milk-sometimes by carelessness In
milking, as explained above; some
times from dirty whey tanks. some.
times from carrying sour whey in
