Hnw to Drink MILK.

One reason why cows milk is dis
liked and found to be indigestible by
some adults is that when the milk is
not slipped the casein formed by the
action of the curdling ferment Of the
gastric juice is dense and tough. The
addition of limewater to the milk
causes it to be precipitated in easily di-
gestible fakes and thus overcome the
disadvantage to great extent. A ia
blespoonful of the water to each glass
is sufficient. A little sugar of milk may
be added to correct the taste of the
limewater If necessary. Prepare the
limewater by pouring water on some
clean slaked lime and after allowing
it to stand until perfectly clear pour
off the water into bottles.

APPLES IN COLD STORAGE.
What the New Hampshire Expert
ment Station Says About Them.

what the New Hampshire Expert
ment Station Says About Them.
Apples placed in cold storage four to
six weeks after picking kept in good
condition until the following April, aft
er which they decayed rapidly.
Apples placed in Geld storage in DC
tober, 1900, and sold in April, 1901,
were moro profitable than fruit sold at
harvest time.
When apples were kept in cold stor-
age until June, there was more loss in
the brine system of cooling than in the
air circulation system.
Apples decayed fastest at the end of
the barrel which was headed after
packing This was evidently due to the
bruises produced by the operation of
heading.
Cold storage does not injure the fruit
nor lessen its keeping qualities after
removal from the warehouse.
The lower the temperature the more
effective is decay hindered. Cold stor-
age hinde.s but does not stop decay.
Wrapping apples in papers was adj
vantageous when they were kept until
June or later. The kind of paper made
little difference, provided it was clean.
Chemical changes take place within
the apple which are Independent of de-
cay and result in the oyerripe condi-
ton recognized by ''mealy" pulp and
lack of flavor
Low temperatures hinder the chem
ical changes, while high temperatures
hasten them.
Apples intended for cold storage
should be carefully handled and placed
in the storehouse as soon as possible
after picking.

We have between 200 and 800 hens
that are five years old and over which
we expected to sell last winter, says
Mapes. the Hen Man, in Rural New
Yorker They began to lay, however,
before satisfactory market was found,
so we decided to wait until after their
"spring work" was done. | have watch
ed them carefully all the season and
have failed to detect any noticeable
difference between the egg yield of
those hens and of the younger hens.
They have performed their full quota
of work at the nests and are still do
ing so. 1t looks as though their period
of usefulness is not yet passed. This is
not theory. but practice. One of them
began to mott very early. On Aug. s
she was nearly naked. and her comb
was dull and small. She was then
placed in coop beside White Betty's
and fed three ounces a day from the
same mixture, wet with cold water and
nothing else. By Sept. 0 she had grown
perfect coat of glossy feathers and a
large red comb. which would puzzle
most people to have distinguished her
from a young hen. as her cackle an
nounced that her fall campaign had
commenced. She weighed 3 pounds s

How Coal NAV Re saved.

When it is understood that the same
amount of fuel is consumed in produc-
ing either gas or heat, it is readily
seen why one person will use four
times as much coal as another without
producing any more heat, if as much.
When feeding coal after the fire is
made, only small quantity should be
fed at time, and that spread evenly
over the surface of the fire, for when
fresh coal is added it for time lowers
the temperature of the firebox Gust as
pouring cold water into pot of boil
ing water stops the boiling by lower
ing the temperature until the added
coal is heated up to the igniting point,
when it first Begins to burn and adds
it's heat to the mass. When but little
coal is added, this lowering of the tenn
perature will hardly be noticed, but
add large quantity and it can be
plainly seen.

The Dairy Steer.

Every now and then somebody hobs
up with a dairy steer that does some
thing wonderful, according to his ac-
count, and then some editor who never
fed steer in his life jumps to the con-
clusion that dairy cattle are all right
as beef producers. If you ever see
anything of this kind, label it nonsense
and let it go at that. Or if you want
to learn valuable lesson get some of
these steers, put some high priced corn
into them and learn it. There should
be no dairy bred steer. He should go
on to the veal market at an early age.

Schemes For Packing Eggs,

A marked copy of the Joliet News
comes to this Office containing notice of
a perfect process of packing eggs dis
covered by Nesse Morris of that town
1t says Chicago houses have offered
him large sums to take charge of their
Fgg business. but he has refused all of
them. He packed $4,000 dozen eggs
last summer and is preparing to store
10000 dozen this year. The process is
described as perfection. A Joliet grocer
says: He has been supplying us with
eggs this winter. and they are fresh as
when just laid. We have broken and
tested eggs in every way"
A diligent search on South Water
street fails to find any house who of
fered large sums of money to Morris TO
take charge of their egg business. So
many different processes of preserving
eggs have been sprung on the public
and proved TO be failures that every one
is skeptical of anything in this nature
They must be shown now before they
will believe it. If Mr.. Morris has got
what lie claims and can show the
people. he is all Commercial
Poultry.

SELLING sKiMMlLK.
why Some Farmers Are Easy Prey
to Big Corporations.

why some FARMERS Are t1NSy ANSf
to Big Corporations.
The Ottawa Qll) Free Trader says
that $15,000,000 corporation headed
by L. E. ingalls, of Joliet has organ
lied for the purpose of making -four
from the slimmilk thrown away prac-
tically by the farmers in the neigh
borhood of the large creameries in Hi
nois. If there are any farmers in Illi-
nois who are throwing away skimmilk
in these days of high priced pork and
beef or who are not realizing as good
as % to 80 cents hundred for it, it is
due to their consummate ignorance Of
the best points in their own business.
We understand, however, that there
are lots of such farmers in Illinois and
all other states who will not read or
make themselves intelligent in any 9TH
er way ON the value of Skimmilk. Such
farmers are easy prey to big corpora
tons, says Hoard's Dairyman. All they
will have to do will be to offer them
10 cents a hundred for what is worth
three times that amount, and they will
get the skimmilk. Why shouldn't they?
When farmers will not take pains or
spend 10 cents for knowledge enough
to save themselves from $40 worth Of
waste, why should not big corporations
be formed to farm such farmers? Not
ten in hundred of the patrons of Illi-
nois creameries read dairy literature or
have ever taken pains to make them
selves intelligent on the nature and val
ue of the product they are dealing with
and producing. 1t is just the same in
the great dairy state of New York.
How can such men be expected to deal
intelligently and in the most profitable
manner with the business they have in
hand? We are surprised that hundreds
of such corporations have not been
formed and grown rich out of those
farmers years ago.

How to Propagate Holly.

Hollies can be propagated by cut
tings made in early winter and placed
in warm greenhouse. The cuttings
should be placed in boxes or pots,
where they may remain for a twelve
month without being disturbed. They
root in time, but not quickly. Hollies
are best transplahted in spring. They
need at the time the closest kind of
pruning. A bush with stem an inch
thick should be pruned back almost to
the main stem. If it has been trans
planted previously or if but a small
bush, less pruning is required. Little
or big, however, all the leaves should
be cut off in moving. Treated in this
way, hollies rarely fail to grow.

How to reduce a Double chin

Superfiuous flesh can be reduced by
constant exercise, and this especially
applies to double chin. Lower the
chin upon the chest. stretching the neck
as far as you can and bringing the chin
forward and down. Throw the head
back until the chin is very high in the
air. Keep on doing this. Lower the
chin and raise it until you have per-
formed this motion at least twenty five
times. You should do this every morn
ing and every night as long as you are
afflicted with double chin.

When the New Jersey legislature shall
have organized it should be its first duty to
send to the Attorney General of the State
for information as to the proceedings by
which the late Attorney-General Stockton
and the late Chancellor McGill broke the
threatened ''coal combine,' which is now
in full swing, to the damage and injustice
of every user of coal.
Every danger and every ill which was
threatened by the coal combine of ten years
ago, is to-day present evil, and there is
every reason for saying that the evil is the
result Of the complaisance Of the Governor
and Attorney-Genera of New Jersey and
the trust laws passed by the New Jersey
legislature.
Every minute Of distress and every dol
lar of added cost to coal comes from the
fact that the State of New Jersey has com
mitted itself to the manufacture of trusts
and monopolies at the lowest possible cost
consistent with a steel-bound franchise. In
the case of Trenton Potteries Company the
New Jersey Court of Errors declared that
monopolies were not repugnant to New
Jersey laws because the corporation law of
the State not only authorized lbut courted
the creation Of combinations of capital and
franchises. And every day some states
man declares that these industrial combina-
tions are but incidents to our industrial
progress. The people of New Jersey have
rare opportunity to discern the other
side of the monopoly system in the suffer-
ings and losses which accompany the coal
monopoly.
