of Adjournment.

The fish commission in San Francisco IL
nications from people Of the interior who
have vague ideas of the functions of the bu-
reau, says a local exchange. A retired
merchant from one of the hill towns, de-
string to devote his spare tine to the study
of zoology, sent the following letter of
inquiry to Prof. Charles A. Vogelsang:
Il am interested in natural history and
want to get hold of dear for scient itic
purposes. Do you know where can buy
one? If so, get a good one and express it
in a box. C. o. d., together with permit
rarietiess will do. I viii pay all ex-
penses."
After bordering over the communication
for some time Herr .Vogelsang dispatched
the following reply: -
"Dears of all kinds are abundant in this
neck of the woods, and if you are not par
ticular as to color or breed l can easily
comply with your request. Most of them
would object, however, to being sent in a
box by express. If you will agree to assume
the cost of perpetual maintenance, / will
promise to send GU dear who will be use
full, both for scientific study and for house
keeping. l am not authorized by the laws
of the state to issue such permits as you
require, but you may get them from the
county clerk. await your reply with
eagerness."

CURIOUS FOOD COMPOUND.
Old Bones, Alum, Flint and Sulphuric
Acid for Raising Bread.

Housekeepers have recently been So
licited by some Of the grocers and by
peddlers to try another kind of baking
powder-"cheaper and just as good" as
they say. This is another scheme OF
some baking powder manufacturer to
get new brand on the market by Offer
ing the grocer a large profit. House.
keepers are not usually much benefited
by such changes. Alum baking pow
ders are generally low priced, but they
are we'll known to be detrimental to
health. Large quantities of one of
them were recently seized in New York,
being found to be largely composed of
sharp-pointed grains of ground flint
and sulphuric acid!
Most of the so-called phosphate pow
ders are mixed with alum. The manu-
facturer of a phosphate powder has pat
ented the process of making the princi-
pal ingredient Of his powder from bones
digested with sulphuric acid.
Housekeepers do not want such mix
lures in their food. They should never
encourage peddlers nor admit testers
or alleged experimenters in food within
their doors, and when buying baking
powder should get brand we'll known
to be made Of cream of tartar, which is
healthful product of the grape.

PURIFYING THE CREAM.
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 20 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 Gas 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
taste.

Calves in Stalk Fields,

Every autumn brings fresh round
of complaint from farmers losing
calves which are allowed to run in the
stalk fields. Really, such young stock
as calves but recently weaned should
not be compelled to make their living
in this way, for they must eat so much
of such lowgrade feed that their weak
digestion is unequal to the task. The
large amount of stuff then dries in
the stomach, produces Inflammation
and murrain. However. plenty of salt
and fresh water will go a long wav
toward renedying this evil.-D. B.
Thomas, in Farm and Home.

,takine Use of skimmi1k.

I think farmers at the present time
can get the most out of their skim
milk by feeding it on the farm. There
has not been time for several years
when more could be realized by the
judicious use Of skimmilk on account
of the high price of pork, pigs and
all kinds of farm stock. I believe
skimmilk is worth one-half cent per
quart over and above the expense Of
handling. e. A. Russell. in Orange

ROAD MAKING HINT.
How to Use Rough Material, Such as
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 a uni
form level on top by placing the large
stone on the outside in 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
rut to be formed, carrying the load
until repairs are made the next year,
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 impossible
while new for heavy loads during the
wet season. Again, if the small stones
ave placed on top of the stone grade
they will keep the earth cover from
settling into the voids between the
large stones in the bottom, thus form
ing good, practical drainage for the
earth cover before any bitches are made
for the new road grade.
The earth cover for the stone grade
should be hauled from the banks of
high land, using gravel mixed with a
little clay or clay hardpan, not using
the black loan, sods or other rough sur
face material at hand, because it is more
convenient. The same care should be
used in selecting the material to cover
the ces.er Of a permanent stone cause
way, as in p-~manent earth road con-
struction.
