An important fact has been develop
ed in the alfalfa regions Of Kansas and
Nebraska. and thslt is that the cheapest
produced pork In the world can be
made out Of just alfalfa and nothing
else. and If this were not enough the
claim is still further made that such
pork is the best favored produced any
where. Now. if these claims are true
the hog raiser in the corn belt is going
to have a run for his money.
CHEESE cCRKN6l IN COLD STORAGE.
No recent Improvement in dairying
methods bids fair to be Of greater i'm
portance and value than that Of curing
cheese in cold storage. The cheese hur-
riedly cured in a temperature Of 20 de-
grees or more ard put on the market
forty days old has long been the repre-
sentative cheese made. At its best this
cheese Is soft. livery. indigestble and
because OF the heat in the curing room
often sharp and of more or less in
flavor Under the new process the
cheese may be taken direct from the
press and placed in cold storage at a
temperature of 90 to A degrees, and
the cheese cures slowly and perfectly,
developing none of that acrid, bitter
and off flavor so common in cheese
cured at the usual higher temperature
At the late cheesemakers' convention
at Milwaukee, Wis, a cheese made last
October and removed direct from the
hoop to such cold storage was officially
tested Jan. 8 and scored "A favor, 29s.
texture, 10 color and 8 makeup, falling
short Of absolute perfection only ont
point on flavor, one-fourth Of a poin
on texture and a point on makeup
This Improvement in methods is Of far
reaching importance, for if a bette
quality Of cheese is made much NOR,
Of it will be consumed. Every cheese
maker should Investigate this matter
for he will by this plan not only b
able to be relieved from the neeessit
Of forcing his thirty day product on tn
market at any price he can get, bu
will be able to take advantage Of tn
markets and seasons and command
higher price for his better cured an
favored product.

HIS FIRST AND LAST ASCENSION
A Balloon Accident That Made a
 Wreck of an Athlete.

Denver Post.
 When Charles T. Condon played the role of aeronaut for a wager, three years ago. his experience, cost him his reason. To- day Condon iS a tramlp--one of the va riety known as 'Stew-bums." He came into Denver Friday morning on a freight train: left the same afternoon or evening on brake beam, to where, no one knows Condon was once highly respected and was one of the leading young men of Oakland, Cal, where he was in the commission business. He was an athlete, a club mem- Der, and general good fellow.
 One Sunday, in spirit of banter. he volunteered to make a balloon ascension in the stead of a man disabled, who was to have afforded entertainment for crowds took him up. offering to wager that he would not dare to go up on a trapeze, swinging beneath the great hot air bag
 Condon placed his money, announced to the park manager that he was an aero- naut of experience and was willing to sat- isfy the cravings of the crowd by making the ascent He quickly changed Sunday clothes for a suit of tights and was greet ed with plaudits, as he appeared ready to undertake a perilous feat he had not dreamed of an hour before.
 When his friends saw that Condon was in earnest, they begged him to desist. but this the spirit of bravado would not allow. Before the park manager realized he was sending an entirely inexperienced man up in the balloon. the guy ropes were cut loose and Condon with a running bound sat on the trapeze and was a hundred feet in the air.
 A number of boys and men had held the balloon captive by the guy ropes in read mess for its flight, All but one let go as the balloon was released. On one of the ropes, either holding on or being capgAtSp atanElA Mas. a lad RttsElXSR2KS

 birds or mainly those that enjoy, such
 power of rapid flight as to be relatively safe from capture. All the! vast horde of waSblers, sparrows, finches, fiycatch- CTS, thrushes and woodpeckers, as we'll as many waders and swimmers. migrate at night On clear, still nights during the mierattons birds may often be heard call ing to each other high overhead, and may be actually seen by powerful tele- scopes. Woods and hedgerows that were untenanted one day may become fairly alive with birds at daylight the next morning, showing that they have arrived during the night. They remain to feed
 and rest during the day, and, if the weather be favorable, may practically ali disappear the next night. That they only venture on these journeys during clear nights IS shown by the fact that on such nights very few birds are killed by light houses, monuments or other obstructions. whereas on cloudy or rainy nights, espe- ciafiy such as opened clear and later be- come overcast, thousands of birds become
 confused and dash themselves against these obstructions. Thus over 1.500 birds have been found dead at the base of the Bartholdi statue in New York harbor in single morning, and 230 birds of one species-Dlack poll warb1ers--were killed in single night (September 90, lSss). by the Fire Island Light. The washington Monument, although not Illuminated at night causes the death of hundreds of birds annually.
