the labor situation will be favorable to
the employer next year. In the rural
communities there should be revival
OF buildings under more favorable con-

PURIFYING THE CREAM.
+" Remove the OdOr of Wild
Onions and Bitter Weed
Is Hard Job.

During the last three years consid-
cradle effort has been made to find a
means by which the odor and taste of
wild onion and bitter weed may be
removed from milk and cream, says
the Alabama experiment station. In
the spring of 1901 the writer was re-
quested to try patent compound
claimed to remove all kinds of weedy
taste from milk, but it proved to be
an absolute failure. Cooking soda
(saleratus) was also given a like
trial, but failed of the purpose claimed
for it by some people. Having failed
so far to find anything that when fed
to the cows would remove weedy taste
in the milk, the next step was treat
ing the milk and cream. Bitter weed
taste was removed entirely from cream
by thoroughly mixing it with two or
more parts Of water at any tempera-
ture above 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and
then running the whole through the
separator. Saltpeter dissolved in wa
ter was tried as an aid in removing
the bitterness, but as good results were
secured without it as with it. Rapidly
and slowly heating milk and cream to
various high temperatures did not re-
move bitterness, but often impaired a
cooked taste. Butter made from
washed cream (as above) was PRO-
nounced free of all bitterness by the
station customers. No means were
found to remove the bitter weed taste
from whole milk In the spring Of 1902
milk and cream were treated for the
wild onion flavor the same as in the
previous year for the bitter weed

ROAD MAKING HINT.
How to Use Rough Material, Such a 8
Large Field Stones, to Reason
able Advantage.

The only way to use rough material,
as large as field stone, in road grading is
to make long, continuous causeways in
the bottom of the grade, bringing or fill
ing the stone foundation up to uni
form level on top by placing the large
stone on the outside in a straight line
for protection to hold the stone grade,
then the next size in the bottom Of
holes and low places, using all of the
small ones on top, leveling up to an
average depth of about one foot thick
and ten feet wide, writes A. J. Sager, in
the Climax (Mich.) Cereal. The OBJ
ject in asserting and placing the stone
with the small ones on top is to give
the grade uniform, even surface, to
drive over with stone and dirt while
building.
. When the grade is new the earth
cover will cut through to the small
stone on top, causing uniform, even
srut to be formed, carrying the load
until repairs are made the: next wear.
whereas, if the stone is dumped into
the bottom and top of the grade hap
hazard the surface will be uneven. the
sides irregular and the road impassable
while new for heavy loads during the
wet season. Again, il the small stones
are placed on top Of the stone grade
they will keep the earth cover from
settling Into 4 the :voids between the
large stones in the bottom, thus form
ing a good, practical drainage for the
earth cover before any bitches are made
for the new road grade. y" %~'
The earth cover for the stone grade
should be hauled from the banks of
high land, using gravel mixed with =
little clay or clay hardpan, not using
the black loam, sods or other rough sur
face material at hand, because it ia more
convenient The same care should ha
used in selecting the material to cover
the center Of permanent stone canse-
way, as in permanent earth road con ,3,,
struction.
