and Mrs. "Bill" Sewall when they ar
rive in Washington in February. Mr..
Sewall is the guide who has had the
honor Of plotting the President on his
frequent hunting trips in the Maine
woods.
While in Maine last summer the
President invited the old guide to join
his party, and later an invitation was
extended to Sewall and mis- wife to
visit Washington in February, and it
was promptly accepted.
The most important feature of the
guides visit will be to attend one of
the large receptions at the White
House. The luncheon and dining in
formally with the Presidents family
in the state dining room will be as
great, if not the greatest, event in the
life of the guide. There will be horse
back rides with the President after
p. m, but the official duties of the
chief executive will hardly admit of
the briefest hunting expedition into
Virginia.

JOKE ON SENATOR HOAR.
Example of Massachusetts Statesman's
Observation-Disclosures.

Senator Hoar's absent-minded ex-
plot last week of securing the passage
by the senate of a measure that had
already become law recalls the story
Of the senator, which is sometimes told
in these parts. He was at a private
dinner attended by number of public
men and citizens. One of the guests
had just finished an anecdote, and the
laugh had scarcely subsidized when Mr..
Hoar started in, saying that reminded
him of something, and told over again
the same story that the company had
just listened to. Mr.. Hoar's telling
was naturally a great success, for
everyone realized at once that he had
been thinking of other matters when
The story was being told the first time,

thing to be reminded of the anecdote

WHY HE LAUGHS AT DOCTORS
Representative Livingston of Georgia,
Tells Good Story.

iCIiS SoOo SeS'y
Representative Livingstone of Geor-
gia, believes that he got the better Of
the surgeons this fall and he is con-
graduating himself accordingly. AS
q result of his arduous campaign
work he became possessed of very
bad throat. 1t refused to yield to
ordinary treatment, SO he went to a
distinguished surgeon in his part OF
the country. The surgeon took a
glance at the inflamed organ and then
got out his knives and prepared for
an operation. MIR. Livingstone de-
INJURED. After much pleading he was
granted twenty-four hours in which to
tighten up his nerve for the ordeal.
While engaged in the tightening proc.
ess another patient came along, was
stretched out on the operating table
and died before the surgeon finished
with him. Livingston heard of this
and stood off the surgeon on one pre-
text or another until he was ready to
start for Washington. Just before
leaving home he came upon an old
negro nanny who offered cure for
his throat She soaked a lump of
sugar in turpentine. The dose did
all the old nanny claimed for it.
And that" said Representative Liv
ingstone, is the reason l laugh every
time | see a doctors sign"

Milk of Spayed Cows.

A French paper reports some tests
made to ascertain the composition Of
the milk of spayed cows. 1t was
thought that the milk from such
COWS would prove to be more uni.
form than the milk from cows more
subject to the natural incidents Of
maternity. This did not prove to be
the case, the usual variations occur
ring as in the case of unspayed cows.
On the other hand, there was very
notable increase in the fat content Of
the milk and of the sugar of milk.
The experimenters expressed the be-
lief that this milk would prove espe.
cially suited to the use of infants.
But this is another theory waiting to
be proven.

Composition of Sleeps Milk.

There have been numerous analy-
ses made of sleeps milk. The infor-
nation on this point is increased by
some experiments made in France
this past year. Altogether III sam
pies were analysed. These were not
taken from one flock at one period,
but were obtained in six different To-
calities, and they were taken during
a period covering three months. The
results should therefore be about the
average for that region. The milk
proved to be very rich, both in fat
and in total solids. Ten samples
taken in the region of Roquefort
showed the following average COM
position: Solids, 1879; fat, 6.9S;
sugar, 5.53; casein, 5.54; ash, 0.s6:
lime, O.2.; acid, .2.66 per cent.

lightning during a violent storm a
short time ago and utterly destroyed.

that a large branch had also been
torn away and splintered. He looked
for some token of fire but was unable
to find any. He noticed, however,
that the inner surface Of the bark
was marked longitudinally with thin
wavy lines, very close set, of which
the crests were about a quarter of an
inch apart. He took several photo.
graphs of the ruined tree and he re.
CARDS them as most useful, since they
show clearly the rending effect OF
lightning on fibrous tissue.

The Butter and Cheese Trade of 1902.
Butter makers have had no occasion
to complain of prices during the year
just past. Over-supplies in cold stor
age in January forced some dealers tc
sell out at little or no margin OF
profit, but later prices advanced
strongly reaching 80 cents in April
the highest price paid for butter in
Chicago in several years. The pas
sage of the oleomargarine law sus
tanned the market during May, June
and July, but the abundance of feed
produced by summer rains increased
the supply and prices declined about
three cents. In October, November
and December, earlier values were
restored and extra creamery sold as
high as 20 cents per pound, at which
figure it now stands. The local de-
mand at Chicago has been the heaviest
in years. 1t is estimated that since
March list 10000 more 6O-pound tubs
of butter were received and marketed
than during the same period in 1901,
the increase amounting to almost ~
per cent. During the same time New
York made gain of only l per cent.
The cheese trade of Chicago for
1902 shows a gain of about 10 per
cent. June brought the lowest price
of the year, viz: 9A cents for ched'
dars. Fall brought so brisk demand
that there was no chance for an ac'
emulation of stocks. Very little
cheese was exported from this market
the supplying of foreign demands be-.
ina left to New York and Canada.

New Tests Alona Old Lines.

NSW iCStS SiOU9 Viz IuSo'
In the Agricultural Department OF
the Reading College tests were made
in the churning of butter which yield
ed the following results:
Butter churned into small grains
contained, when worked, ia per
cent of water. II churned till 1t was
in the form Of Jumps 1t contained 12.5
per cent OF water. 1t is generally
considered that low water content
is desirable; in which case the churn.
ing into grains Is to be commended.
This is the degree Of churning now
taught by nearly all dairy instructors
Another result was obtained that
might have been expected. Sweet
cream when churned showed great
er loss of fat in the churning opera
ton than did the churning Of ripened
cream. This loss was ascertained by
testing the butter-milk. This is
factor to be taken into consideration
in the making of sweet cream butter,
which at one time threatened to be-
come as popular in this country as
it is in some parts of Europe.

A test was also made to ascertain
if brine sailing would increase the
water content over dry sailing. In
this case it was reported that no in

it is now generally believed that
brine sailing increases the water con.
